The royal family has issued a warning order. The third prince Harik, with the support of Queen Reguli, denounced the seventh prince Hemuti for being vicious and the temple army for ignoring the royal family and leading the people to rebel. Loulan has been owned by the royal family since ancient times.
His temple helped the whole world, so he allowed the temple to preach in Loulan. Who knew that the temple relied on pampering and indulged in all kinds of evil, and even raised an army to rebel? His intention was to be punished.
Reguli first abolished the status of the seventh prince as a royal heir and convicted him of treason.
Later, it was announced that the temple was an illegal religion and should be expelled from Loulan territory.
With these national orders, the whole city was in an uproar.
After all, there have been many people who believe in the temple in recent years, but when faced with the Loulan guards armed with sharp weapons, everyone still chose to side with the royal family - after all, living is more important! These people's ideas are very simple, let's see what happens next
Can the temple army defeat Kucheng? If they can, they will rise up in anger and become believers. If they can't, wouldn't it be nice to live their lives honestly with the Loulan royal family?
so.
These days, the streets of Loulanku City have changed from the prosperity of the past and are now in a state of depression. Most of the shops are closed, and the vendors have organized their own armed forces to assist the guards in maintaining stability.
Queen Reguli and the third prince Halik appointed Reheman as the general and Xiangzheng as the protector of the country. Although they did not have any real power, they had to give Liu Zheng a tenable identity. Then at Liu Zheng's suggestion,
Loulan has turned on the wartime state. In the wartime state, all officials will be temporarily upgraded to one level! If the wartime state is lifted, the upgraded official positions will maintain the status quo. In other words, as long as this battle is won, all officials will be promoted to one level!
This has greatly stabilized the hearts of the people in the DPRK and central government, and there is no need to worry about internal instability.
However, what gives Liu Zheng a headache is...
Looking at the entire Loulan Guard Army, the only general who can be used is Reheman. As for the others... they were all taken away by the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince Hemuti is a good fighter in his own right.
, brave and good at fighting, and very prestigious in the army. When he rebelled, many of his subordinates followed him.
No general available!
But fortunately, the Loulan Army's military discipline has always been good, the system is strict, and the hierarchy is strict. In other words, just listen to the greetings, and that's enough.
Look up.
The temple army over there has completed setting up camp, and the area is endless, like a sea of people.
Reheman took a breath: "Sir, it seems that this is not just a rabble!"
Liu Zheng also looked solemn and nodded: "No matter what, we must guard it for three days!"
"yes!"
At this time, Hemuti came galloping on a war horse, followed by several generals. A hundred steps away from the city gate, he laughed loudly and said: "Young Master Xiang, you are well!"
Reheman said angrily: "The anti-thief Hemuti will be punished by everyone!"
"Is it just you?"
Hemuti sneered and said: "Today, with an army of 200,000, I will crush your Loulan! The royal family is stupid and the temples are universal. It's time for Loulan to change its dynasty!"
After saying this, he took the long bow from his back and drew the full moon. With a clatter, the arrow flew towards him in shock.
"Sir, be careful!"
Qin Changfeng, who was beside Liu Zheng, yelled angrily. The arrow came with great force. At this time, it was too late to draw the sword. He could only push Liu Zheng. Liu Zheng was also horrified and staggered. The arrow just missed the target.
The wall behind where he was standing just now was deeply buried!
Everyone was shocked.
Hemuti laughed arrogantly: "Listen to my advice, Loulan is not your place to stay. Surrender as soon as possible and I will allow you to go back to Yinzhou!"
Liu Zheng looked at it coldly.
As soon as Hemuti returned, the first large-scale attack began. The temple army's killing noise was loud and they came from all directions. The Kucheng defenders were facing a powerful enemy and did not dare to neglect at all, following Reheman's order.
Down, arrows and rolling rocks fell from the sky, repelling the first wave of temple troops, leaving corpses and debris everywhere. This was the first time Liu Zhengshang saw this scene of thousands of troops and corpses strewn across the field.
He knew that the first wave of people were themselves cannon fodder, and that the next step would be a steady stream of attacks from the temple army.
The second wave, the third wave, and the fourth wave, because of the cover of the corpses of the people in front, the temple army had begun to touch the city wall. Some combat equipment was also advancing in an orderly manner, such as ladders and trebuchets.
.
At this time, Liu Zheng felt the cruelty of the war for the first time.
Although the resistance on this first day was able to block the temple's attack, the Loulan defenders also suffered a lot of battle losses. In addition, arrows and stones were thrown, causing great losses. The temple army even had a small team, riding with them
The ladder went up the city wall.
Wolf smoke was everywhere, outside the city and inside the city, there were sounds of killing and screams.
