The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 711 We Believe

On the eighth day of June, night gradually fell, this was the third day that Donghefu City was besieged.

In the past three days, the main force of the Yong army has rested around Donghefu City and did not attack the city.

Of course, there are 1 to [-] strong soldiers guarding outside the city, and the more than [-] soldiers staying inside the city naturally don't have the courage to go out of the city to attack and harass.

The two Imperial Army cavalry that Zhang An placed high hopes on fled far away under the continuous attack of the Yong Army cavalry, and their losses were not ordinary.

In a room under the tower, Zhang An was resting his eyes with his eyes closed, when he suddenly heard a shout from outside: "General, there are people coming from the east, and there are quite a few of them!"

"Someone is coming? Could it be that the Yong army is going to attack?"

This was the first possibility that Zhang An thought of, so he immediately got up from the bed and ran up the city wall in a hurry.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Huben Guard who were in charge of tonight's defense had already gathered in large numbers at the eastern city wall, all looking far away.

It was not completely dark yet, Zhang An found through visual inspection that it was not the Yong army who came from afar.

"What kind of trick is this?" Zhang An muttered in his heart.

At this moment, Duan Jingzhen, the commander of the Huben Guard, came over and said: "General, here are the defeated soldiers and civilian husbands gathered by the Yong army!"

Duan Jingzhen was the first to discover the situation in the east, so he sent people out of the city with baskets to inquire about the situation.

Zhang An said in a deep voice: "The rout and civilians? Why did the Yong army bring these over? Could it be that they want to attack the city?"

It's really not that he is worrying unfoundedly. He said that the siege will be filled with human lives. If 10 people are pushed forward to attack the city, the Yong army can take Donghefu City without a single soldier.

"This guy Zhao Yanxun... really can do anything!" Zhang An's tone was cold.

During the three days of the siege, although the Yong army did not use troops against the city, the brainwashing and public opinion attacks never stopped.

According to the soldiers of the Yong Army, Zhao Yanxun was praised as a living saint, a savior sent by God, and a protector of ordinary people all over the world.

However, the emperor and courtiers in the capital city became rebels and courtiers, and were scolded to the point of being bruised.

These public opinion offensives did have a great impact, making the soldiers of the Imperial Army trapped in the city more or less suspicious of the imperial court they were defending.

This is a sign that the morale of the army is about to collapse. Zhang An has been busy these two days in order to stabilize the morale of the army.

I only heard Zhang An say: "Go and tell the brothers, get ready to go to war!"

"The so-called benevolent and magnanimous King Yong is going to fill the moat with the lives of his brothers and civilian husbands... This is his true face!"

Duan Jingzhen nodded, and immediately turned around to deliver the order.

But he also felt that this was impossible, because someone would come to attack the city at night.

Of course, when thinking about the fact that the Yong army took advantage of the night to beat the Han River in one go, it seems that fighting at night is not impossible.

And the movement of the Yong army behind also alerted everyone in the city.

Several guards stationed outside Donghe Mansion are also gradually moving closer to the east of the mansion.

All of this can only make the defenders in the city conclude that the Yong army is really going to attack the city.

It wasn't just them who thought this way, the "captives" who were approaching the city at the moment also murmured in their hearts.

"It's not that we are asked to farm, but also that the land west of the Han River will be distributed to us in the future. Why are we asked to go to Fucheng now!"

"Could it be that...Yong Jun and those people are telling lies, they want us to attack the city?"

"No way, Prince Yong has been eating and drinking for us these few days, and even asked those officials to persuade us to rest assured. I don't think what they said is a lie!"

"Besides, if we really want us to attack the city, why waste so much energy and support us for three days for nothing!"

"It's true!"

"Yong Wang divided us into teams of 200 people, saying that it is convenient for us to farm, but I think it is convenient for us to die!"

"That's right, it's just farming. It's the same as being a soldier. I think it's really possible for us to attack the city!"

The tens of thousands of people are discussing what will happen tonight, these common people are different from the defeated soldiers.

Soon, under the guidance of the soldiers of the Yong Army, these people came to the outside of Donghe Mansion one after another, and stood in line according to certain rules.

There are 10 of these civilian husbands, and it is definitely unrealistic to call them all, so Zhao Yanxun ordered only half of them to come.

But these 5 people also filled the open space to the east of Fucheng, and there was simply no room for 10 people.

At this moment, these people stood in a rectangle, leaving a space in the middle, which could be seen clearly on the city wall.

"What the hell is this going on?" Zhang An frowned in confusion.

The team formation in front of him doesn't look like it's going to attack the city at all.

It's not just Zhang An who is puzzled, but the soldiers guarding the city wall are also full of doubts.

As more and more people arrived, the outside of Fucheng became more and more noisy, until drums sounded at the scene.

The sound of the drum quieted the people outside the city, and also attracted the attention of everyone on the city wall.

After a few breaths, a group of knights appeared from the north side, and the few people walking in front were still holding flashlights.

"Your Highness is here!"

The "speaker" was shouting outside, so everyone on the city wall heard it, and knew that it was King Yong himself who had come.

For this person who easily defeated the general army, Zhang An was also curious while hating him.

This is the first time Zhao Yanxun has appeared, but it is a pity that there is more than 200 meters away, and the sky is relatively dark, so the people on the city wall can't see clearly.

Of course, Zhao Yanxun's appearance unsurprisingly aroused discussions, and everyone was wondering what was going to happen tonight.

What will happen tonight, only the senior officials of the Yong Army will know.

The horses came to the center of tens of thousands of people, and Zhao Yanxun slowly walked onto the temporary high platform.

Although the sky was dark at this moment, when the soldiers of the Yong army turned on more than a dozen searchlights, it was as bright as day in an instant.

Of course, there are two beams of light that keep shining on Zhao Yanxun so that everyone can see him.

When Zhao Yanxun stood still on the high platform, Zhang Meng shouted to the "speaker": "His Royal Highness is here, please bow down!"

The densely packed tens of thousands of people, looking at the figure in the beam of light ahead, all bowed obediently.

"See Your Majesty!"

Although the voices were irregular, tens of thousands of people shouted together, but it was overwhelming.

"Free of ceremony, get up!"

Zhao Yanxun's voice was very easy-going. This was the first impression of everyone present, including the defenders of Donghe Mansion.

Such a "friendly" King Yong may really be a magnanimous and kind person.

"Everyone, how are you eating these days?"

Facing Zhao Yanxun's question, everyone at the scene was stunned, and no one thought that he would ask such a question.

"It's okay..." Scattered people said, this must be bold.

Zhao Yanxun immediately asked: "I heard someone say yes, is it okay? Tell me loudly!"

"Okay!" The voice was louder this time.

Zhao Yanxun was very satisfied, and then said: "I think you all know that this king's army is adhering to the mandate of heaven, following the late emperor's edict, and crusading against the treacherous people in the court!"

"Since it is a crusade against traitors, then this king will not kill innocent people indiscriminately!"

"Those treacherous people in the imperial court conscripted you from your home, so that you and your family members could not be reunited. You are also the ones who were persecuted by the treacherous court!"

"Since this king is attacking treacherous evil, how can he harm you? Not only will this king not harm you, but he will also let you have a good life!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yanxun said with a smile: "So, you can rest assured that you should eat and drink!"

These words, everyone has listened to the soldiers of the Yong army preach dozens of times in the past three days.

Now that King Yong himself said it, they felt even more credible, and they all thanked King Yong for his benevolence.

After all, in the past few years or even before the end of the world, who in power took their "bad lives" to heart.

When everyone was emotional, Zhao Yanxun said solemnly: "When this battle is over, the king will reunite you with your family and ensure that your life will get better and better!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yanxun asked loudly: "Do you believe me?"

After the scene was silent for a while, someone shouted: "Letter!"

As a result, more people shouted the word "Xin", and their voices gathered into huge waves, slapping towards Donghefu City.
