The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 706

There are also skills in escaping. For example, the guards of the two capitals are dying, and they run faster than the temporary recruits.

"Put down the drawbridge, hurry up!"

"Hurry up and put down the suspension bridge, otherwise the Yong army will attack you in a while!"

"Brothers on the tower, please open the door...Brothers, come into the city and help you defend the city!"

There was constant howling outside, but there was no response on the city wall, and the guards of the Imperial Army watched everything coldly.

The suspension bridge must not be opened, and the Yong army is stationed not far away. If they take the opportunity to attack, it will be a disaster for the defending army.

And from another point of view, letting these guards break out into the city will not have much effect on enhancing the ability to defend the city, but will bring great pressure to the logistics.

Of course, no one dared to make decisions for the superiors, and the soldiers still reported the situation to them.

"You are not allowed to put down the suspension bridge, and you are not allowed to open the city gate without authorization. Anyone who violates the law will be executed immediately!"

These are the words of the chief general of the Western Front Corps in front of all the commanders and envoys.

"Tell the rout outside the city and let them flee in the direction of the capital. Only by crossing Jishui can they survive!"

As long as these routs cross Jishui, the imperial court will be able to gather them up and reorganize to form a defensive force.

It can be said that Zhang An really did his best for the safety of the court.

After the soldier who sent the order left, Zhang An said to everyone present, "Okay, let's continue!"

This temporary military meeting discussed the current situation of various ministries, and it was convenient for unified call after summarizing.

The three guards of the imperial guards suffered heavy damage in the early morning battle, plus those who were lost during the retreat, the strength of the remaining troops is now only more than 8000.

Of course, there are also 1000 Guards troops who escaped with the Imperial Army in the city, plus the [-] Guards troops from the Western Front Legion who stayed behind in Donghe Mansion. Now there are more than [-] troops in Donghe Mansion.

In fact, if the conditions in the city were met, or if the Yong army did not press hard, Zhang An would be willing to let more soldiers enter the city for defense.

After listening to the report, Zhang An said to the thousands of military officers at the scene: "Everyone, I don't want to tell you those big truths..."

"Our family members are all in the capital, for the safety of our family, we should defend the city with all our might!"

"As long as we are crucified in Donghe Mansion, we will still be useful to the imperial court, and our family members will be safe!"

Zhang An's words are very straightforward, he doesn't talk about loyalty and honor, he only talks about interests with his subordinates.

These words were all spoken to the hearts of the officers present, and also made them unify their thoughts of fighting to the end.

To the west of Donghe Mansion, soldiers of the Yong army chased north and gradually approached Donghe Mansion.

The first to rush to station near Donghe Mansion were the seventh and No.11 guards of Bingma Division and Fang Sheng's Department of Guards Division.

Tan Lu, the Commander of the Seventh Guards, said: "The 10,000+ army only lasted for half an hour, and the general led people to hide in the city. They are really trash!"

Zhou Lixing, commander of No.11 Guards, replied with a smile: "It's not that they are useless, but our army is too strong!"

This is not an exaggeration at all. After all, even if it is 10,000+ pigs, an ordinary army can't finish it in half an hour.

Being able to defeat the imperial court's 10,000+ army in one fell swoop after crossing the river can only show that the Yong army is too strong.

"Are we going to stay here all the time?" Gao Zhengan, Qianhu, the guard, couldn't help asking.

He was gearing up a bit, feeling that staying where he was was a waste of time.

Tan Lu replied: "You want to attack the city? There is no rush for this matter, we don't even have siege equipment!"

Zhou Lixing also said: "I have already sent someone to ask the prince for instructions, let's wait for instructions!"

Gao Zheng'an has always had a strong desire to show off, so he can't sit still right now.

"You two have to wait for instructions, so just do me a favor!"

"What help?" Tan Lu asked.

"Lend me your military horns, anyway, you won't be using them for the time being!"

Hearing this, Zhou Lixing asked curiously, "What do you want this for?"

Seeing Tan Lu's puzzled expression, Gao Zheng'an said, "You will know when the time comes!"

Ten minutes later, the whole army of the bodyguard department set out and rushed towards Donghe Fucheng.

In the battle just now, the strength of the bodyguard division had left a deep impression on the imperial army.

Seeing the arrival of the guards' army, even the extremely safe defenders in the city became nervous at the moment.

"Don't panic, maybe they have grown wings, can they still fly in?"

"Archer, draw the bowstring for me, as long as those bastards approach, shoot them to death for me!"

Standing on the city wall, Duan Jingzhen yelled at the top of his voice to cheer up his soldiers.

And the broken soldiers who were lingering outside the city immediately ran away when they saw Yong Jun rushing over.

Arriving at a distance of 100 meters from the city wall, there were arrows flying continuously on the city wall, but they were all blocked by the shields of the soldiers.

With a shield blocking them and a full body of armor, the arrows on the city wall could hardly hurt them at all.

Of course, the closer the city is, the more lethal the arrow is.

For the safety of his subordinates, Gao Zhengan ordered his subordinates to stop 50 meters away from the city wall.

"Organize the defense first. If anyone loses the lottery here, I will only find you who are hundreds of households!"

After instructing the first point, Gao Zhengan went on to say: "What to do with the errand, I told you clearly on the way here, let's do our own things!"

"Yes!"

A group of hundreds of households left separately, while Gao Zhengan hid behind the army formation.

Outside the city, the Yong army formed an army formation with hundreds of households. Each army formation was about 150 meters apart, and the spread of a word was more than [-] meters.

Such a formation was really incomprehensible to the people on the city wall, and it was also incomprehensible to Tan Luzhou Lixing who came to observe the situation.

About 2 minutes later, at the Baihu Office where Gao Zhengan was located, someone first picked up the loudspeaker to shout.

"Listen, people in the city, His Royal Highness the King of Yong, according to the last emperor's edict, punishes the rebels who murdered their fathers and kings, and plotted to usurp the throne..."

"Your Highness is kind and magnanimous. As long as you are willing to surrender, His Highness will forgive all your crimes!"

"If you are trapped in the city, you will only die. Are you going to sacrifice your life for the traitor? Are you going to sacrifice your life for the faint king?"

"Don't you want to go back to see your children? Don't you want to give your parents a pension?"

That's right, Gao Zheng'an organized his subordinates to persuade the city to surrender by calling out.

The so-called siege is the bottom and the heart is the top. Gao Zhengan can think of such a wonderful use of the loudspeaker, which really surprised Tan Lu and the two of them.

Zhao Yanxun raised his army "righteously" and found very good reasons for himself, but these were only known to the Yong army and the high-level court officials.

The ordinary soldiers on the court side didn't know the reason at all, they just heard the officials say that King Yong was a traitor.

Now, after hearing Gao Zheng'an's yelling, all the soldiers guarding the city murmured in their hearts. Could it be that the emperor they are loyal to is really a traitor?

Of course, more people were touched by the last two sentences!
Who doesn't want to go home, wife and children are hot on the kang, and who doesn't want to be filial to their parents.

It can be said that this scene directed by Gao Zheng'an is extremely lethal to the defenders in the city.

"Don't listen to their nonsense, these traitors are cunning and cunning, we will be killed by them if we surrender!"

"Brothers, these rebels are here to grab food. Think about it... If they were beaten to the capital, how much food would 10,000+ of them grab?"

"They will rape your wives and daughters, and kill your parents. We must never believe their words. We must defend the city!"

In this regard, the two sides launched a public opinion war on the city wall.

Although there are no swords and swords at this time, it is a very dangerous time for the defenders in the city.

As long as a little careless handling, it may lead to the collapse of the situation.

After thinking about this point, Tan Lu praised: "There really is him!"
