Chapter 233 The Sky Changes! Open!
After being shocked, Li Ruhui laughed and said, "Mi You, you are really crazy. You can do anything to rebel."
"Defaming the emperor and father is a crime of a higher degree!"
"Attack the city!" Li Ruhui, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, gave an order fiercely.
The war broke out!
The army under his command began to organize the first wave of siege.
On the battlefield, the sound of killing shook the sky.
…………………………………………
Four hours later!
The first wave of siege ended.
After suffering huge casualties, Li Ruhui had to stop the siege.
There were only 50,000 defenders on Jianzhou City.
Li Ruhui had an army of more than 200,000.
But... it was still a tragic defeat.
In just four hours, Li Ruhui's army suffered more than 30,000 casualties.
The casualties of Mi Wang's army defending the city were very small.
During the whole process, Mi Wang's army strolled leisurely.
Even the dozens of artillery on the city wall did not fire a single shot.
The main force of Li Ruhui's army was the Imperial Guards, which was already considered elite.
But in front of King Mi's army, there was still a world of difference.
Throughout the whole process, King Mi's army just shot arrows.
Tens of thousands of archers, madly and non-stop shooting arrows.
Although these archers could not reach the level of the White Bone Corps, there were tens of thousands of them.
They all used two-stone bows, which were nearly 200 pounds after conversion.
This kind of bow is certainly not as good as Ying Que's White Bone Corps, but it is also twice the mainstream archers of the empire.
How amazing is the lethality of the bow?
And it can shoot more than fifteen arrows continuously every minute.
The special metal alloy arrowheads can easily penetrate the armor of the Imperial Guards.
Therefore, the battlefield in just four hours was extremely tragic.
There were corpses everywhere, and dense arrows everywhere.
The entire battlefield even showed a strange silence.
Li Ruhui's siege army, the sound of killing shook the sky.
The Mi Wang army on the top of the city seemed very quiet, just constantly drawing bows and shooting arrows.
Arrows rained down.
Crazy slaughter.
One-sided slaughter.
Not only equipped with this strong bow, but also prepared a large number of amazing crossbows, which were small in size and could be operated by only one person, and had a very precise aiming system that could shoot any shield.
Once fired, it made a soul-stirring sound and could instantly shoot through thick shields, and even the people and shields were shot out directly.
This is already a crossbow, but because it uses the best materials, it is much smaller than traditional crossbows.
………………………………………………………………
After paying the price of more than 30,000 people, they still couldn't rush to the city wall.
On the side of Li Ruhui's army, the morale was facing collapse, and they had to call off the troops.
Then, Mi Wang appeared again.
"Li Shumi, I have been very restrained. I didn't use these dozens of artillery."
"And my new legion was also useless."
"Today's battle is just a glimpse, so stop there."
"Li Shumi, please think about it. I didn't put up any resistance on the battlefield of Yingzhou and completely withdrew. Is it because I can't afford to fight?"
"I want to fulfill the reputation of Sky Book City. Because I signed the "Zhenhai Agreement", I have to admit it!"
"I just killed 20,000 or 30,000 imperial troops, which makes me very sad! But in order to stop the war, I have to do this."
"We are not enemies. We all have a common goal to defend the empire. The country, defend the Xia imperial lineage. "
"Li Ruhui, can we talk quietly now?"
Li Ruhui, the privy envoy, said slowly: "Mi You, I was also trained by the Sky Book City. But in the final analysis, I am still loyal to the emperor and the imperial lineage of the Great Xia Empire. Don't say anything extra. I will fight this battle whether I can win or not. "
Mi Wang said: "I am also loyal to the imperial lineage of the Great Xia Empire."
Li Ruhui said: "Mi You, don't treat everyone as fools."
Mi Wang said: "The one on the throne now is a fake emperor, do you still want to be loyal?"
Li Ruhui said coldly: "Evidence!"
And at this time.
A team of cavalry came from the north, galloping like lightning, with about 3,000 cavalry.
The leader took off his helmet, revealing a face with white hair and beard.
It turned out to be the ancestor of the royal family of the Great Xia Empire, Prince Ying!
He is already 96 years old this year, right?
He has disappeared for a long, long time.
He is the uncle of the late emperor and the great uncle of the current emperor.
He is the oldest living member of the royal family, twice as tall as the empress dowager.
He is truly the ancestor of the Great Xia Empire.
Moreover, he was also known as the chivalrous king.
Including the late emperor, he assisted three generations of emperors.
He also served as the regent twice, presided over the Zongzheng Temple, and presided over the Privy Council.
Before the late emperor took power, he and the empress dowager took charge of the imperial government for eight years.
He was in power, but did not exceed his authority.
He served as the regent twice, but when the emperor took power, he resigned twice and returned to retirement.
He was upright and upright, unmatched.
However, he had disappeared from everyone's sight for 19 years.
Unexpectedly, he appeared again.
When Prince Ying took charge of the Privy Council, Li Ruhui was just a seventh-rank official.
Seeing him coming, Li Ruhui immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"Your humble servant Li Ruhui pays respect to the King of England!"
Mi You also stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, King Ying."
He nodded to everyone and said, "Let's go into the city to talk."
Then, he led the way towards the gate of Jianzhou.
The gate slowly opened.
…………………………………………………………
Inside the Jianzhou government office.
"King Mi, where is your evidence?" said Prince Ying.
King Mi said, "King Ying, at this point, you may have more comprehensive information than I do."
Then, Mi You took out a thick stack of things and handed it to Prince Ying with both hands.
Prince Ying was very serious and read it page by page.
After reading a page, he handed a page to Li Ruhui.
And King Mi stood by and waited quietly without saying a word.
Time passed by minute by minute.
After several hours.
Prince Ying finally finished reading all the more than 300 pages.
After a while, Li Ruhui also finished reading, and his face suddenly changed.
"This matter has shaken the foundation of the country."
"Although your evidence is very detailed. But I still want to verify it myself."
"In addition, I want to warn you Mi You." Prince Ying said coldly: "This matter is the internal affairs of my Great Xia Empire and has nothing to do with Sky Book City. I don't want Sky Book City to stir up trouble here."
Prince Mi said: "Of course!"
Then, Prince Ying closed his eyes and fell into painful thinking.
Everyone was silent.
"Mi You, you prepare yourself and go to Beijing in a month!" Prince Ying said, "Li Ruhui, don't fight for now, your army will stay where it is."
Mi Wang said, "Yes, listen to Prince Ying."
Li Ruhui said, "Yes, ancestor!"
Then, Prince Ying said, "Mi Wang, do you have any flying giant eagles?"
Mi Wang said, "Yes, I do."
King Ying said, "Lend them to me."
Mi Wang said, "Yes!"
………………………………………………………………
Next, Prince Ying wrote letters himself.
He wrote many, many letters.
There was only one content, inviting all the princes and nobles of the Great Xia Empire, especially all the princes and all the county kings of the empire, to go to the Xiajing Palace for discussion.
It was a matter of great importance.
It was related to the imperial lineage of the Great Xia Empire and the orthodoxy of the Eastern world.
No one was absent!
Hundreds of letters!
All nobles above the rank of earl in the Great Xia Empire, all officials above the rank of governor, and some governors of important counties will receive this letter.
……………………………………
In just half a month!
All the princes, all the nobles, and all the senior officials in the world have received the intimate letter from Prince Ying.
There is only one content, to go to the capital to discuss matters.
It is related to the imperial lineage of the empire, and no one can be absent.
When everyone received this letter, they couldn't believe their eyes at all.
They even felt suffocated.
Something big happened.
Something big happened.
The ancestors of the royal family of the Great Xia Empire have appeared.
All the big figures have come to Beijing?
It is related to the orthodoxy of the East?
Every word here contains a terrible amount of information.
This... Is this going to change completely?
Everyone found that the previously powerful Li Ruhui army was silent at this time, and the suppression of the rebellion against King Mi was also silent.
What happened? !
…………………………………………
March 2nd!
The ancestor, Prince Ying, went to the capital and had a secret meeting with the Queen Mother.
The meeting lasted for more than two hours!
But the meeting should have failed, so when Prince Ying left the palace, he was a little angry.
He was also a little sad.
The conditions he proposed to the Queen Mother were very simple.
Let His Majesty the Emperor suddenly die of illness, or choose to become a monk.
Of course, the so-called death without illness is not a real death, but a fake death, and disappear from the world from then on.
Choosing to become a monk is even more a noble choice, praying for the country.
Both choices are to maintain the dignity of the emperor, and even more to maintain the dignity of the royal family.
It is also for the unification of the empire, so that this crisis can be eliminated as silently as possible.
Prince Ying felt that he had good intentions, but the Queen Mother refused, and the emperor also refused.
So, Prince Ying called on all the kings, princes, and all high officials in the world to come to Beijing to discuss matters.
Since the emperor was unwilling to disappear decently, Prince Ying had no choice.
…………………………………………
The kings, princes, nobles, and high officials of the world are in a difficult choice.
Do you want to go to Beijing? !
Although all the truth is unknown, rumors have been rife.
His Majesty the Emperor is a fake.
His Majesty the Emperor is also a painted skin.
This matter is too horrible.
If possible, many people are unwilling to stand in line.
You fight first, fight to see a winner, and then let me stand in line.
Firmly support the central government of the court, whoever is on the throne will support whoever.
But if you stand in line in advance, it is very terrible, and you will be crushed to pieces if you are not careful.
And this time, Sky Book City did not make any statement.
Prince Ying repeatedly emphasized that this is the internal affairs of the empire, and Sky Book City has no right to interfere.
So, after receiving Prince Ying's call letter.
Many princes, many nobles, and many officials in the world did not dare to speak out.
Not many people went to the capital.
March 6th.
Mi You went to Beijing, and Li Ruhui, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council and the Grand Commander-in-Chief appointed by the Emperor to suppress the rebellion, went to Beijing.
This was a huge signal.
Li Ruhui was considered a loyal minister of the royal family, and even he went to Beijing? !
So, some of the princes and nobles were shaken and began to go to Beijing.
Then, the eyes of the people in the world were fixed on two people.
The King of Zhenbei and the King of Zhennan!
Will these two people go to Beijing? !
…………………………………………………………
Duke Xia Yan was very painful.
He didn't know how to choose.
Because, although he was not the grandson of Prince Ying, he was raised by him since he was a child.
For a long time, Duke Xia Yan grew up under the wings of Prince Ying.
He was an absolute royalist.
But what if the rumors were true?
What should he do?
He really hoped that Ying Que would talk to him, but he never did.
This was a huge event, but within Ying Que's camp, it was as if nothing had happened.
Prepare for war, prepare for war, prepare for war!
The arsenal in Black Gold City was running frantically.
Countless shells were produced.
The energy of the Dark Tree in the White Bone Territory seemed to be suppressed to the extreme.
Even Shen Wuzhuo, Bai Yutang, and Jiumogang led the ace army to take the initiative to attack, constantly moving south, and moving south.
Not to capture land, but to kill people and train soldiers.
They have already entered the Dali Kingdom for hundreds of miles.
A steady stream of dead people were transported back and sent to the dark realm to feed the dark tree.
How many people did the ace army they led kill?
Only God knows!
And the King of Zhennan, Ying Que, also left Yingzhou directly and returned to the dark realm of the White Bone Territory.
Every day, they peeled skin, disassembled bones, and pulled tendons, madly accumulating the energy of the White Bone Pen.
Every day, they drew bones and veins for people!
The White Bone Territory has finished all the drawings, and selected a group of people with the highest tendon and vein talents from hundreds of thousands of troops to transform their roots and tendons to create the second batch of ace legions.
Inside the secret base of the Dark Academy.
A team of more than a hundred people was also working day and night.
Using the existing materials, they made various crystal energy bodies.
Everyone in the entire camp seemed to have no idea that Prince Ying was going to stir up a world-shaking event.
The entire war machine was running fast.
……………………………………
Just when the storm was about to come, the emperor issued a crucial imperial decree.
Changed Tiannan Road to Tiannan Province!
Tianxi Province and Jingnan Province each divided two counties into Tiannan Province.
Zeng Wendao was transferred to the post of governor of Tiannan Province and took office immediately.
Immediately afterwards, Prince Li Zhan sent troops to occupy Xionggu Pass and Tianye Pass with the emperor's will.
So far, the two gates of the entire Tiannan Province have been closed.
The entire Tiannan Province is surrounded by mountains in the north, and there are only two main traffic routes passing through the mountains.
It took the empire decades to build two city gates on these two mountain roads.
Once these two checkpoints are occupied, it will be like one man guarding the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it.
Shen Wuzhuo and Jiumogang led more and more troops to plunder and kill in the south.
At the most, there were more than 50,000 people.
What was brought back was not only corpses, but also food.
It was almost a crazy looting.
Although the granaries in Tianshui Province were already piled up like mountains at this time.
But they kept looting, looting.
There was no one living within a hundred miles of the Dali Kingdom, and it was a scorched earth.
On the other side, the Moro tribe, who had pledged allegiance to the Shen Gong family in advance, was frantically recruited.
The original 13,000 troops were directly expanded to 45,000.
The entire Tianshui Province and Tiannan Province were also constantly recruiting.
On the sea, the merchant ships of the pirate queen Yu Luosha continuously transported supplies.
Various metals, but mainly saltpeter.
Even in the farther capital of the Dongyi Empire, there were fleets escorted by the Yu Luosha fleet, continuously transporting various secret materials.
……………………………………
March 17!
Zhennan Wang Yingque finally made another public appearance.
He finally took the handwritten letter from Prince Ying in person, and then said to the envoy of King Ying: "Please report to King Ying that I will go to Beijing to discuss important matters together!"
"Yes!" The envoy of King Ying immediately rode on the giant eagle and returned to the capital!
Zhennan Wang Yingque's statement finally ended everyone's wait-and-see attitude!
All the princes, all the nobles, and all the high officials in the world announced that they would go to Beijing to discuss matters!
There is only one exception!
Zhenbei Wang!
The first military officer of the Great Xia Empire.
He replied to Prince Ying that he would guard the northern border for the empire and could not leave for a day.
March 18!
Zhennan Wang Yingque, Zhenhai Hou Shen Wuzhuo, and Tianshui Province Governor Xu Enzeng set off for the capital to discuss matters.
The sky changed!
Officially kicked off!
………………………………………
