The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 779 is finally here
At night, the stars are densely covered, and there is peace outside the city.

But in the city, they have already experienced a battle, and the shouts of killing even spread outside the city.

In the continuous high-pressure environment, some people in the city had their defenses collapsed, so they thought of surrendering.

There are quite a few people who have such thoughts, and they gathered together, planning to practice fighting outside the city.

It's a pity that these people are in a state of disunity, and the news leaked out before the plan was completed, and it reached Li Jinzhong's ears.

Someone in the city wanted to surrender, which was tantamount to killing Li Jinzhong, so he immediately sent an order to suppress it.

The suppression is cruel, and I would rather kill Li Jinzhong by mistake than let him go.

What he didn't expect was that those who wanted to surrender had already contacted thousands of troops.

If it hadn't been discovered in time, and these soldiers scattered all over the place were gathered together, they would not be able to suppress it for a while.

Even so, the battle in the city lasted for an hour before everything was settled.

"A total of 200 people are stationed, and the other 75 people are captured alive, waiting for the adults to deal with!"

With a gloomy face, Li Jinzhong walked ahead, obviously he was not in a good mood at the moment.

"Order, no one is allowed to enter and leave the streets and alleys in the city tonight, and those who violate it will be executed immediately!"

"Yes!"

After the man left, Li Jinzhong came to a courtyard where he was guarding the man captured alive tonight.

Just after entering the gate, a thousand households greeted him, so Li Jinzhong asked, "Where is the other person?"

Qianhu replied: "Report to my lord, I will place it in the inner room!"

"Take me to meet him!"

"Yes!"

After taking two steps forward, Li Jinzhong stopped again, and said, "I will go by myself...the other people who are still alive, you take someone to deal with them!"

"Kill them all?" Qianhu was a little surprised.

Those who are eligible to be captured alive are all "senior officials" in the military, and many of them are friends of this thousand households.

Right now Li Jinzhong is going to kill all these people, which will naturally shock this Qianhu.

Seeing these thousands of households asking questions, Li Jinzhong asked sharply: "If you don't kill them, how can you convince the masses? How can you stabilize the morale of the army?"

"Humble post..."

Before he could explain, Li Jinzhong scolded angrily: "Go on an errand!"

"Yes!"

Seeing the thousand householders leave, Li Jinzhong turned around and walked straight to the inner courtyard.

After a few breaths, he entered a room where a person was tied to a pillar, apparently Wang Baozhen, the envoy of Shannan.

The two looked at each other without saying a word. After a long time, Li Jinzhong said: "Old Wang, we have been friends for many years, and we have come through ups and downs..."

"I really didn't expect that you would betray me!"

Wang Baozhen's face was gloomy, and he said, "I can't do anything to save my life!"

"A way to survive? Do you think Zhao Yanxun will let you go if you surrender now?" Li Jinzhong sneered.

Wang Baozhen replied immediately: "If you stay in the city, you will die. If you rush out, you will at least have the hope of living!"

"You...you can be sure that we can't hold the city?" Li Jinzhong tried hard to regain his composure.

Wang Baozhen replied: "Whether you can keep it or not, you know better than me!"

If the argument continued, Li Jinzhong knew that he couldn't convince the other party, so he asked again: "I heard that you want to kill me and use my head to claim credit?"

Wang Baozhen replied again: "No, I just wanted to escape, but they didn't listen to me, so the matter failed!"

Li Jinzhong asked again: "So you are saying that other people made their own claims and wanted to kill me?"

"Is this still important? Don't ask, just kill me!"

"Before I came, I wanted to kill you, but now I have changed my mind!"

After saying this, Li Jinzhong went straight out of the house, turned his back to Wang Baozhen and said, "I want you to live, and see how I can defend Rongcheng!"

After saying this, Li Jinzhong walked out of the room, leaving Wang Baozhen alone in the room.

It was the third watch now, because many people in the city hadn't rested because of this matter, Li Jinzhong would calm down the situation as soon as possible.

It took another half an hour before everything was finally arranged. Those who should rest also rested, and Li Jinzhong immediately went home to catch up on sleep.

Two hours passed quickly, and when Li Jinzhong was in a deep sleep, he was woken up by his family.

"Master, Commander Hu came over and said that the Yong army outside the city is about to attack!"

Hearing this, Li Jinzhong was still sleepy, and he bounced off the bed directly.

"Why didn't they report earlier?" Li Jinzhong cursed.

Under the service of his servants, Li Jinzhong hurriedly put on his armor, and then hurried to the city wall.

When he came to the city wall, he saw that on the plain in front of him, the infantry of nearly Wanyong Army had been lined up, and there were eight siege vehicles standing in the middle.

"It really is going to attack the city!"

After saying this, Li Jinzhong ordered to the left and right: "Although there are tens of thousands of people stationed on the southern city wall, there are still not enough people..."

"From the other three walls, another 1 people will come here!"

The main force of the Yong army is all in the south, so there is no need to put too many soldiers on the other walls, and it is the right choice to transfer them to defend the southern city.

"Also, tell the remaining defenders on the other walls to be ready to reinforce the southern city at any time!"

2 people were transferred here, but they were still afraid that they would not be able to defend the city wall. This made the generals feel that Li Jinzhong was too cautious.

Although they also admitted that the Yong army is indeed very strong, but after all they occupy a geographical advantage and have a huge advantage in strength, so they shouldn't be so afraid of the enemy.

Although complaining in their hearts, these generals held back. After all, defending the city and waiting for help is the most important thing.

Everyone went to pass the order, while Li Jinzhong stayed on the tower, paying close attention to the movements of the Yong army.

But two miles away, there were people doing the same thing as him.

On the hillside, Baihu looked at the mobilized army ahead and couldn't help saying: "My lord, people like Yong Jun actually let us go, we are really lucky!"

Originally, they thought they would be pushed forward and used as human shields to attack the city, but they let them go early in the morning.

"Not to mention, Yong Jun is really interesting, and everyone will be rewarded with three days of food!"

While the Baihu was chattering, Yang Hongwen on the side remained silent, staring straight ahead.

Seeing that Yang Hongwen didn't answer, Baihu was very puzzled and said: "My lord, it's hard to regain our freedom. We should return to the south earlier. Why do we stay here?"

This time, Yang Hongwen was not silent, and explained: "It's not too late, just take this opportunity to see how powerful the Yong army is attacking the city!"

Unexpectedly, the hundred households disagreed and said: "No matter how powerful it is, it will be difficult to win after three or five days. We can't wait forever!"

Yang Hongwen replied: "Just wait for one day, and we will leave in the afternoon!"

"My lord, I feel that..."

Before the hundred households finished speaking, Yang Hongwen scolded: "Shut up...the attack is on!"

That's right, at this moment, the soldiers of the Yong army were fully prepared, and they started to move forward with the beating of the drums.

Inside each siege vehicle, there are more than 50 people standing, relying on them to work together to push the vehicle up.

These people will send the siege engine under the city wall in a while, and then walk up to the high platform through the internal stairs, becoming the first group of pioneers.

Behind the siege vehicles, followed by a larger number of soldiers, they held up their shields to protect themselves. They said that the second batch of soldiers on the city wall

Further back, there are soldiers carrying ladders, they are the largest in number, and they are also the last to attack the city wall.

On the city wall, the hearts of the soldiers defending the city were beating faster, and the atmosphere of panic was also spreading.

Looking at the soldiers of the Yong army approaching, although Li Jinzhong felt panic, he also felt a sense of relief.

Pulling out his saber, Li Jinzhong said in a deep voice, "This moment has finally come!"
