The Chief Supervisor looked at this scene and sighed softly, knowing deep down in his heart that His Highness the Seventh Prince did not use his full strength to fight against him.
He glanced in the direction of the tower with a complicated expression, and for the first time the thought "Maybe the imperial capital can really be defended" flashed through his mind.
The soldiers had already started cheering, mostly shouting "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Seventh Highness".
"The Seventh Prince is invincible",
But there were also many sporadic voices in the crowd shouting, "His Majesty the Seventh Highness recited the Buddha devoutly, and now he is blessed by the Buddha and has supreme power."
"With the blessing of Buddha, the imperial capital will definitely be able to defend it."
There were even people hiding in the crowd saying, "The emperor recognized the seventh prince with his keen eyes, so he ordered him to defend the city. This is to let him show himself."
"Your Majesty has already made arrangements, and the imperial city will definitely be defended."
Xia Ji sat on the edge of the sound and watched the dusk fall with the princess.
It was getting dark.
The sun has set on the snow-white horizon, and the bright moon has cast its bright brilliance on this land.
If it weren't for the ice and snow, the Frost Giant would be missing a layer of hard armor, so its charge into battle would naturally be a bit weaker.
But the stone throwing during the day gave them a new fighting idea.
Dozens of Frost Giants, together with the siege catapults captured by the ghosts, went to the front line.
Then…
The frost giants stood for more than a mile of the city wall, while the ghost warriors urged the refugees to continuously provide boulders, and directly killed those refugees who wanted to escape.
When the boulders turned into hills, the offensive was launched.
The giants hurled, and the catapults kept ejecting.
Hoo ho ho!
The huge boulder turned into a meteor, tearing through the wind and waves of the night. In the moonlight, it roared and hit heavily from a distance!
Some bumped into the city wall,
Some collided with the crenels,
Some patrolling soldiers were smashed to death.
There are also those who crossed the city walls and smashed into the city.
Bang bang bang bang bang! ! !
The roar is endless.
The imperial city began to tremble.
The meat grinder-like battlefield has opened up with a new situation.
Deng Jue hurriedly organized his army, leaving two hundred soldiers at the top of the city. The rest withdrew from the city wall and moved under the wall.
Only with high walls blocking the way can casualties be reduced.
At this time, the city was in chaos.
Onikata and the ice giant continued to throw stones in the distance.
As long as a piece of the city wall is blown down, or the city gate is blown away, the alien army can directly enter the imperial city.
Bang!
Bang! !
In the moonlight, huge rocks kept falling from the sky.
Houses collapsed and streets were filled with potholes.
Almost all the soldiers guarding the city of Dashang were hiding behind the city wall, gathering together and forming a long queue next to each other, just waiting for the city gate to be breached before going out to engage the ghost army in hand-to-hand combat.
Naturally, Deng Jue could no longer give orders in the Chinese camp, and Xia Ji, the princess, and the general manager, Eunuch Mei, also withdrew from the tower to the wall.
There was a lot of discussion.
A deputy general suddenly raised his voice and said: "General Deng, we can't let the Frost Giants attack like this anymore. There are mountains and forests outside the west gate, and there is an endless supply of stones. The ghosts can keep quarrying stones, and then throw stones from a distance." , the city gate must be broken down!"
Deng Jue nodded, indicating that he understood.
There was more and more chatter.
The soldiers discussed each other word by word.
…
Suddenly, a slightly sinister voice came from the crowd: "His Highness Seventh is so powerful. He killed forty-one warriors from the ghost side in front of the battle. Even if he faced those frost monsters, he could defeat them. If His Highness were to fight, he would definitely be able to defeat them." Destroy all the catapults, drive back many frost giants, and save the entire imperial capital from water and fire."
Not long after, a responding voice suddenly came from the other side: "The people of the Imperial City invite Your Highness to fight!"
Another voice came from the other side: "Your Highness is mighty!"
"Please, Your Highness, save the people of the Imperial City!"
Someone took the lead, and more and more people began to echo, with voices rising and falling one after another.
Deng Jue's face turned dark. Naturally, he could hear the "strange meaning" in these words. He looked up to find who was shouting, but the person who made the noise often stopped shouting once and then stopped. It was just zero. The bits and pieces made a sound here and a sound there.
To make matters worse, other soldiers, even the knights who still stayed here, and the common people were obviously partial to this proposal and began to respond softly.
Because they saw the might of His Seventh Prince.
I believe that His Highness the Seventh Prince is blessed by Buddha.
I believe that your wise Majesty must have deep meaning in letting His Majesty Seventh Prince stay behind.
So many things…
The more Deng Jue listened, the angrier he became, and when he was about to stand up and reprimand him, he heard the seventh prince's calm message, "Sit down."
The old general was stunned, but he sat down obediently.
Amidst the shouts of everyone, Xia Ji stood up and said with a simple voice: "Okay!"
Then, he stood directly on a high place and pointed out the soldiers and lieutenants who had just made a fuss. There were forty-four people in total. Those people tried to dodge, but were still caught. Xia Ji said directly: "Everyone, please Will you go into battle with me?"
Those lieutenant generals and soldiers avoided their eyes and just said: "If we leave the city, we will only die. Please invite His Highness the Seventh Prince to fight!"
"Your Highness is mighty, please save the people in this city!"
"Your Highness goes to battle and will return victorious!"
Hearing these voices, Xia Ji was not surprised. He just sighed in his heart. The city was almost destroyed, but there were still people who were thinking about internal strife, trying to force himself to death, and wanting to weaken his contribution and prestige. Min, this is really interesting.
There will always be many short-sighted people in this world, and there will also be many invisible chess players who control these short-sighted people.
To kidnap him on behalf of the people in the city
If you let it go, you will look like a fool.
Kill them to show your incompetence and rage.
Because the ones who really took action were not the clamoring people in front of them.
In this case…
Xia Ji said in a gentle tone: "That's okay. If you don't want to go, I won't go."
The lieutenants and soldiers lowered their heads, with a more or less proud look in their eyes.
Xia Ji turned around and sent a message directly to Deng Jue, "Kill them all and chop them into minced meat. Remember to give me a list, including their posthumous relationships."
Deng Jue:…
Although the old general was straightforward, he was not stupid. He immediately weighed the stakes and understood the stakes. He really had to bear the blame, so he directly said angrily: "Disturbing the morale of the army, drag it down and deal with it according to military law!"
Everyone:? ?
Deng Jue: "Here comes someone!"
Immediately, a hundred execution soldiers from the army came out, grabbed the forty-four people and dragged them out. The forty-four people still shouted, but they were quickly suppressed by the surrounding soldiers and had soft cloth stuffed in their mouths. , tied up and dragged to the open space.
Deng Jue glanced at Xia Ji, and the Seventh Prince was looking into the distance, as if he was worried about the situation of the battle. He felt cruel in his heart: "If you interfere with the situation of the battle at this time, kill without mercy and chop into minced meat!"
Everyone:…
The forty-four people were completely frightened, and then many of the soldiers began to shout, "They did not die on the battlefield, but died in the army"...
Deng Jue was unambiguous in his killing, and captured dozens of soldiers and chopped them all into minced meat according to the instructions of the seventh prince.
A moment later, all the more than a hundred people fell into a pool of blood, turning into a pool of blood under the moonlight.
So no one spoke anymore.
Xia Ji came to his senses and said, "General Deng, you have gone too far."
Deng Jue clasped his fists: "The marshal is right! I am just impatient!"
Xia Jidao: "You will receive your punishment after the war."
Deng Jue was stunned. After the war? Is there still a post-war... But the key to the war situation is already in the hands of this young His Highness. He is ruthless, powerful, mysterious, and extremely forbearing. This His Highness is really a great hero of the generation, and he seems to have been tied to him. Together.
He raised his voice: "Yes!"
This incident just passed by.
The city suddenly became quiet, and only the constant roaring could be heard.
In such a situation, we really have to leave the city, otherwise the imperial city will be destroyed tonight.
Deng Jue didn't ask who was willing to fight, and said directly: "Ten thousand soldiers from the Red Leopard Battalion will march out."
Suddenly, ten thousand soldiers stood up.
These 10,000 soldiers were soldiers who had never participated in defending the city or participating in any battle. This was an elite group that Deng Jue had reserved to make final decisions. He scanned the faces that were still full of fighting spirit and raised his eyebrows. Said: "Very good!"
"You go out with me to fight! Defeat the enemy! How dare you?"
"I am willing to go on an expedition with General Deng!"
The morale of the Red Leopard Battalion remains high.
Deng Jue glanced at Xia Ji and said solemnly: "Then the imperial city will be entrusted to Your Highness."
Xia Ji raised his hand and said calmly: "I'll go and you can defend the city."
Deng Jue was stunned for a moment, but the prince's voice was full of doubts.
After Xia Ji finished speaking, he stood up and walked under the moonlight.
The animal face has a head-swallowing chain of armor, a dark halberd eight feet tall, black hair dancing wildly like a demon, and an expression as calm as a Buddha's.
He raised his voice: "Open the city gate!"
Deng Jue followed up and shouted: "His Majesty Seventh is the marshal of the world's soldiers who defend the imperial city. He is personally brave and invincible in front of the battle. What does it have to do with Buddha? What does it have to do with others? You... all obey orders! I should obey orders too!"
One sentence was shouted loudly.
The tens of thousands of remaining troops, as well as the surrounding knights and young men who were supporting the defense, were all silent.
Then, there was an outburst of shouts: "Yes!!!!"
In the sound of rolling waves.
Xia Ji walked in the front, raised his hand to wave, and shouted: "Tonight, those who are willing to defend the country to the death, come with me on the expedition!"
After saying that, he did not ride a horse, but carried the black halberd, strode towards the slowly opening city gate, and faced the alien army outside the city.
Although there are thousands of people, I will go.
Ten thousand red leopard battalions followed each other in formation.
Deng Jue's heart was shaken just by looking at this scene. The veteran general suddenly raised his voice and said: "If the prince can come back, the only one who will follow us in the Deng family from now on is the prince!!"
Then, the old general turned his head to look at the burly general not far away, and said loudly: "Sacrifice your life for the country today, you traitor, why don't you go out with your highness!"
"Yes, father." Deng Gongjiu looked at the demon-like figure, and his blood was boiling. At this time, he caught the horse's belly and followed him with the Green Dragon Sword.
Deng Jue yelled again: "Who else!!?"
This roar was hoarse and tragic, like a generous man singing. Immediately, hundreds of elite knights from Jianghu families followed him out of the city, followed by some soldiers chasing after them, and then more small groups of soldiers even All the young men and women of the militia followed him out.
The moonlight covers the road.
As the city gate opened, the imperial city that was about to be sacrificed finally slowly revealed its sharp fangs in the footsteps of the man destined to conquer the world.
