Without waiting for "Concubine Xue Gui" to reply, he turned and left with heavy steps and bowed body. Suddenly, he changed from a man in his fifties to a hobbled old man in his eighties.
Rong Changan gritted his teeth and said in his heart: "King, Zixuan, don't worry, I will definitely stabilize the situation and wait for Yan Li to come into the city."
With a whoosh, she turned around like a wind, her footsteps were sonorous, her starry eyes were shining, she was resolute and determined.
Above the city tower, the sky has turned upside down. Numerous ladders were erected on the top of the city. Countless people feared that the rebels would chase and kill them, so they climbed up the ladders and climbed up the towers one after another. There are men, women, old people, and children; some drowned in the moat after climbing halfway up the ladder, some were hacked to death by rebels, and some were trampled to death.
The rebels distributed weapons, swords, guns and sticks to the people. Seeing the people rushing up like a torrent, how can the guards guarding the city not be afraid! There are also rebels disguised as ordinary people, deliberately intensifying the conflict between the ordinary people in the city and the guards, and killing the guards with knives.
"Damn it, those citizens are human beings, aren't our guards human? They can kill us, why can't we kill them!"
So some of the guards were eager to try, wielding knives and swords to kill the people. If the army and the people fight in a melee, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it is exactly the trick of the prince.
"Stop!" Rong Changan stopped in front of the guards, "Don't do anything to the citizens, this is the king's order."
The indignant guards didn't listen to Rong Chang'an, and shouted: "Get out!" They swung their swords and were about to kill the people.
At the critical moment, Rong Changan shook his wrist, and the soft sword was like a long snake, twisting towards the two leading guards, entangled their hands, and pulled hard, the two guards fell heavily to the ground , Ouch screams. Rong Changan pointed his sword at them, but his eyes were on the other guards, his eyes were cold and majestic.
"Anyone who dares to fight against the common people will end up like the two of them!"
Rong Chang'an's beautiful moves and superb swordsmanship made the guards astonished and admired.
"Concubine Xue, it's not that we want to fight the citizens. As you have seen, it is the citizens who want to kill us. Now the citizens are more numerous than us. If we let them chop us, we will become meat paste! Citizens are noble, we are low, are we not?"
"Yes, we are not convinced!"
Rong Chang'an has already observed it, the faces of the citizens are full of panic and pain, how could they fight against the Guards? Someone must have fished in troubled waters to make trouble.
"Don't be nervous, I guess there must be something tricky. The king treats the people like his son, and the people treat the king like their parents. How can you be against the king? You listen to me for now, don't do anything with the citizens, I have my own way to catch those troublemakers people!"
"Concubine Xue" is the person appointed by the king to lead the sixteen military forces. Today they saw her killing the leader of the rebellious army under the tower. Who in the guards refused to obey her
"Well, we will listen to the imperial concubine. However, if anyone hurts our brother again, we will not be polite!"
Rong Changan breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, I won't let you be wronged!"
She stood by the parapet, looked at the citizens who kept going up the city, and found some sly and hideous people among them, she was sure that these people were the ones who came to make trouble!
Rong Changan sneered, and said to himself naturally: "Just such a trick, I want to stump Rong Changan! Hmph, look down on me!"
She called a hundred guards and divided them into twenty groups. Each group had no one, and they stood by the female wall and shouted to the citizens.
"Citizens and people who come to the palace, please listen. The king knows that you are all forced by the prince, and you don't intend to attack the city. The king gives you a chance to reform. But whoever goes to the city, as long as he puts down his weapons, he is the king. Your people, the king treats you as before! The guards will not harm you. However, if there are still people who refuse to lay down their weapons after this, they will be punished as rebels and killed! Citizens of the capital city and people from all directions can listen!"
These words were shouted over and over again from the top of the city. The people didn't want to fight against the king. After hearing these words, those who came to the city threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
Rong Changan also ordered the guards to escort the citizens who put down their weapons down the tower and settle down in a safe place.
The more than 500 rebels sent by Li Hao did not dare to slash and kill the guards with their knives. In order to survive, they exchanged glances, dropped their weapons for the time being, knelt down and surrendered to the king.
The people in the city heard that the king had ignored the past, even if Li Hao didn't rush him away, they all climbed up the ladder to surrender. In less than an hour, hundreds of thousands of citizens entered the palace, and the whole palace became a busy city.
Having lost the citizens as hostages, Li Hao was both angry and shocked. Looking at the citizens who had climbed to the top of the city, he bent his bow and set his arrows, aimed at the citizens, and shot ten arrows with a swish, killing ten citizens.
"I think you are still going to the king and Concubine Xue! This is the end!"
The rebel army was dispatched in a hurry to intercept the citizens who climbed the city. Anyone who dared to climb was a dead end, and at least half of the citizens were intercepted.
The news spread to the prince's mansion, who was making love to the concubine, my prince, his eyes widened in horror, and he couldn't stop chanting:
"How is it possible! How is it possible!"
Hundreds of thousands of citizens are one of the prince's trump cards. Now that the trump card is useless, why isn't he frightened!
Li Ying was also very surprised, and kept shaking her head: "I really dare not underestimate this Concubine Xue! Could it be that she was born to lead troops to fight?"
The prince lost his mind and looked at Li Ying anxiously: "Little boy, what should we do now? If the people enter the palace, if Concubine Xue chooses soldiers from them, she will get at least 50,000 soldiers! At that time, how can we be her opponents!"
The prince knows very well that the citizens and the people of Tianchi country love the king very much, and they are definitely willing to shed their blood for the king.
Li Ying lowered her head to ponder, stretched out a palm, and signaled the prince not to worry, with cunning in his flickering eyes: "It may not be a good thing for the citizens to surrender to the king."
The forehead lines on the prince's forehead were as deep as old tree bark: "How do you say that?"
Li Ying sneered, and looked at the prince: "Think about it, there are hundreds of thousands of citizens entering the palace now, with the guards, eunuchs, maids, and others in the palace. Two hundred thousand people!"
"The space in the palace is limited. These two hundred thousand people live in the palace. What do they eat? What do they drink? Are there so many imperial physicians to treat them when they are sick? Even if they live, there is no place to live! Wait for them to eat or not , Drink or not, the hundreds of thousands of citizens not only failed to strengthen the strength of the palace, but weakened it. At that time, wouldn’t it be easy for us to attack the city?”
The prince narrowed his eyes, thinking about Li Ying's words, but there was still some doubt in his eyes: "You are right, hundreds of thousands of people are in the palace, eating and drinking is a problem, but if Concubine Xue organized the citizens to counterattack tomorrow, That would be very bad for us.”
"No way!" Li Ying categorically responded to the prince's question, "You can organize undisciplined citizens overnight? Do you think this is just for fun?" Li Ying smiled again, "Besides, Li Hao Isn’t the filming of people hiding among the citizens now? Later tonight, there must be movement in the palace, and we’ll just wait and see the show.”
The Prince has no choice but to trust Li Ying now. What he is most worried about now is the garrison of the capital, can it resist the 50,000 southwestern army's stormy siege? If the capital is broken, no matter how good their strategy is, it will be useless.
Li Ying saw the prince's worry: "Don't worry, the city wall of the capital is high and strong, and there is an urn inside, it can be said to be impenetrable, you can rest assured that within a month, the Southwest Army will not break through the capital." .”
