At this time, the general guarding the city was discussing with the soldiers in the urn city under the south gate. When he heard that an Angel Yan wanted to talk to him, he put on a thick armor and a golden helmet and went to the tower.
Looking down, he saw that Yan Li was not wearing any armor, but only in tattered clothes, standing among several generals, with almost no defense at all, so he became malicious: he didn't wear armor, and Li's tower was like this. It's close, although ordinary bows and arrows can't shoot him, but I still have a magic arm bow here, which has a very long range; capture the thief first and capture the king. If I catch him, I'm not afraid that this group of traitors will not disband!
So the general guarding the city quietly ordered his subordinates: "You bring up the god arm bow, aim at the man in the ragged clothes, and shoot him to death when you see the right time. I will give you a credit!"
"yes!"
Then two archers went downstairs and brought up a divine arm bow, put it in the arrow window of the archway, and aimed at Yan Li.
Seeing that the god arm bow was in place, the general guarding the city stood up and coughed twice, and said loudly to Yan Li: "The people under the city are famous on the road? Why did you move the soldiers from the Southwest Camp to attack the capital?"
Although the voice of the general guarding the city was loud, he lacked energy, and when it reached Yan Li, it was already so weak that he could hardly hear it clearly.
Yan Li bowed his hands to the general guarding the city: "I am the king's bodyguard, and the king asked me to move to the southwest camp to escort the soldiers. Now the king is besieged by the prince in the palace, and the situation is critical. Ming Dayi, let us in as soon as possible, put down the rebellion, and return Tianchi to peace and tranquility."
The general guarding the city and the prince are basically in cahoots, how could he listen to Yan Li? He sneered twice.
"You said the prince rebelled, why didn't I receive the imperial decree from the king? The prince and the king are brothers born of the same mother. The king's world is the prince's world. How could the prince do such a thing that violates human ethics? You must be demagogic, deliberately concocting such a lie, so that you can take advantage of the fire! Just now the king has issued an imperial decree, but whoever kills you, a traitor, can be sealed as a marquis."
He raised his voice, and his voice was already a little hoarse: "Soldiers of the Southwest Camp, this man surnamed Yan is not actually the king's bodyguard, he pretended to be a bodyguard, stole the prince's troop dispatching tiger amulet, and mobilized you to besiege the capital. He committed a treasonous crime, why do you have to die with him? If you surrender now, I can sue the king, and you will not be held accountable. If you still persist in your obsession, you will end up dead."
Fortunately, as soon as the general guarding the city blurted out his words, he was swept away by the northwest wind and torn to pieces. None of the soldiers on Yan Li's side could hear what he was saying clearly. If it really spread to the camp, someone must be determined to kill Yan Li and flee to the capital.
Yan Li couldn't hear what he was saying, so he suggested: "General City Guard, why don't you open the city gate and I'll talk to you across the river, how about that?"
Yan Li's words could be heard clearly on the tower.
The general guarding the city thought to himself: This is a trick to lure the enemy, how could I be fooled! If I go out, you will either shoot me with an arrow, or jump over the river and catch me. How could I fail to see through such small tricks!
Relying on the fact that there are many soldiers defending the city and the city is fortified, he looked proud and pointed at Yan Li with the plain knife in his hand: "Either send troops to attack the city, or surrender quickly, what are you talking about so much useless nonsense!"
Yan Li shouted to the guards on the tower: "Now the prince is besieging the palace. Are you going to help the king? Those who follow the law prosper and those who oppose death, if anyone comes with me to save the king, please open the city gate and let us in!" "
The prince has already sent troops to attack the palace, which is well known in the capital. Although many people know that this is wrong and that the prince is rebelling, no one dares to stand up and call out for the king.
Seeing the tangled expressions of the soldiers, the general guarding the city panicked in his heart: If the boy is allowed to continue talking, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be lost for a while, that would be bad!
He blinked at the archer in the archway. The archer received the message and aimed at Yan Li's stomach. This divine arm bow is so powerful that it takes four people to pull it. The arrow on the bow is as big as a fist. As long as it hits Yan Li, it can kill Yan Li even if it doesn't hit a vital point.
The four shouted together: "One, two, three!"
With a whoosh, a thick arrow shot out from the arrow window, drawing an arc in the air, like a shooting star, it rubbed against the air and made a whining sound.
Yan Li raised his head and saw that the incoming arrow had a cold light, and under the cold sunlight, a cold light flashed across it. Yan Li's eyes moved slightly, he swung the sword with his right hand, and slashed at the arrow. He hadn't drawn out the sword yet, the arrow had already passed less than two inches from his arm.
puff!
The rafter-like arrow pierced the stomach of a cavalryman behind him, nailing him to the ground. The white intestines mixed with the bright red blood made it unbearable to look at.
"Quick, retreat!"
"Shield! Shield! Protect Angel Yan!"
A wall composed of shields was quickly placed in front of Yan Li. Only three dangdang beeps were heard, and three more big arrows shot down, collided with the shield, and produced thrilling sounds and sparks.
Just now he really narrowly escaped death, as long as he deviates a bit more, Yan Li will probably die.
"Yan Tiantian, they will not surrender easily, there is no other way but to attack the city!" said the infantry general.
"Angel Yan, order to attack the city!" The archer general wished he could swallow the entire capital in one gulp.
The infantry general was right. The city guard general was loyal to the prince and would not surrender easily. He had to be given some serious attention.
Yan Li retreated to the chariot and formally ordered to attack the city.
"Soldiers, the king is trapped in the palace by the prince, let's work together to rescue the king!"
As soon as the words fell, the 10,000 archers were divided into five rows, with a row of 2,000 people. The leader of the archers shouted "Let go", and 2,000 arrows flew to the top of the city. The archers of the Southwest Military Camp are well-trained, and every archer is worthy of the arrow. Screams, shouts, can be heard endlessly. Some were shot to death while lying on the parapet, and some fell to their deaths by falling into the moat. There was a mess on the top of the city.
"Second row, get ready!" The archer general of the Southwest Army ordered the front row to retreat and the rear row to stand out. Then more than two thousand arrows flew towards the top of the city.
After two rounds, the defenders were already defeated.
Seeing that the situation was favorable to his side, Yan Li hurriedly ordered the infantry to build ladders and bridges. Tens of thousands of infantry bee chrysalis went to the city and climbed the ladder.
Just when Yan Li thought that the city wall would be broken, suddenly, there was confusion on the top of the city. A team wearing silver armor came from the north. Anyone who saw deserters would be shot and killed. The guards who were killed by the silver armor team , More people were killed by the Southwest Army archers.
"Any more deserters will be killed!" It was Ma Yu who took the lead in speaking. Yan Li only wished he hadn't killed him, leaving future troubles behind.
Ma Yu led the silver-armored soldiers to supervise the battle, and no one dared to escape. The Southwest Army, which was about to ascend the city, was suppressed again, causing many casualties.
The infantry general was a man who refused to admit defeat. When he saw the army retreating, he was furious and led the infantry to launch a second and third attack. Seeing that the army casualties were gradually increasing, Yan Li ordered the army to retreat temporarily, waiting for the opportunity to attack the city.
"Yan Tiantian, they are already vulnerable now, if we attack a few more times, I guarantee that we will be able to take down the south gate!" the infantry general said angrily.
Yan Li shook his head, with a worried look on his face, and a trace of pain in his cold eyes. Although those soldiers who died in battle were not citizens of Dajing Kingdom, as long as they fought side by side with him, he was considered a brother.
Seeing them being shot to death by swords, or falling into the moat and drowning, or being stabbed to death by swords on the ladder, or falling from the ladder, being trampled to death by their companions, all kinds of tragedies came into view, how could he not be sad!
