The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 470

This estimate put Changsun Ji in a good mood, but it was beyond his expectation that the first line of defense could hold off the rebels for such a long time.

However, the originally good mood completely disappeared after the soldiers reported the situation outside the city.

Because Changsun Ji stood on the city wall and looked down, and saw that it was not the group of rebels who rushed to the front outside the city, but the people with gray heads and faces.

And those thieves followed behind the people, forcing the people to go forward with the tip of their knives. They were using the people as a shield and the most basic material for filling the moat.

This made Changsun Ji's face very ugly. He stared at the governor of An and the big man standing beside him in the distance. Although the distance between them had blurred their appearance, Changsun Ji seemed to be able to see them. The two had smiles on their faces.

For this period of delay, the rebels outside the city had already driven the people into the range of the soldiers' bows and arrows.

He noticed the eyes of the soldiers beside him, and knew that they were asking him what to do.Changsun Ji's hanging hands were tightly clenched together, and then slowly loosened.

With a cold face, Changsun Ji raised his hands, squinted his eyes at the people who were advancing under the threat of the rebels, and shouted: "Get ready, let the arrows go."

It seemed that he couldn't bear it, and a small captain standing next to him opened his mouth and said, "General..."

Changsun Ji waved his hand and said in a cold voice: "Everyone should be responsible for their actions. If they know how to resist, they will not be driven here by these rebels. We can't pay for their weakness. As Soldiers of the Empire, General, this must not be our weakness."

"So now, shoot me an arrow immediately." Changsun Ji shouted.

Bows and arrows shot out from the city wall in an instant, and amidst the cursing and begging for mercy of the people below, all of them were stabbed into their bodies, taking their lives away.

Although Changsun Ji set his mind to shoot those common people, the number of people captured by those rebels who did not know where was too large, which put a lot of pressure on Changsun Ji and the others, and it was difficult to shoot bows and arrows again. Kill the traitor.

Changsun Ji knew that the moat would not be able to stop these rebels, as expected, but one day, the moat in front of the west city gate was completely filled with the corpses of the people.

After taking a few breaths, Changsun Ji looked at the rebels who were slowly retreating, and sighed.Although the rebels were repelled today, tomorrow's battle will not be as easy as before.

Glancing at the soldiers around him, Changsun Ji sighed again. After tomorrow's battle, I don't know how many soldiers will still be alive.

After meeting the prince in the palace, Changsun Ji had no expression on his face, unable to tell whether he was happy or sad.

He just got the news that there is another way to rebel against the king at the west city gate.Tomorrow he will face the three-way anti-king.

To this day, he has only encountered the third anti-king. Changsun Ji is considered very lucky. The other three city gates have already encountered the third anti-king, and some have even encountered the fifth anti-king.

Changsun Ji knew that no matter what happened to his west gate tomorrow, tomorrow would be the last battle. Although he was confident that he could hold on for a few more days, the other gates could no longer hold on.

The most serious thing is the south gate. The south gate of the capital city has been beaten up by the thieves. There are not a few left of the city defense army of more than 1000 people. The rest are all young and middle-aged men selected from the capital. The city defense army is dead, and their rations have been saved.

Although they are all young and middle-aged men, they have a lot of strength. Compared with the well-trained city guards before, the young and middle-aged men who are selected are almost going to die. Basically, they can change a round in a day.

In just a few days, there were no young and middle-aged men recruited at the south gate, and the people in the city were unwilling to guard the south gate even if they were dead.

For this reason, there have been several struggles in the city. Although they were quickly suppressed, the prince did not dare to press too hard.

Now the net has begun to be collected, and the army ambushing outside the city has begun to surround these anti-kings.The prince just gave them a thorough explanation, saying that the reinforcements will arrive in two days at the latest.And gave them a death sentence, they must persist until the arrival of reinforcements.

But Changsun Ji knew that based on the location of the reinforcements he had seen before, even if he hurried, it would take three days.And he looked at the other guards just now, and with the news he inquired, he knew that tomorrow he would be attacked by the rebels.Not to mention the other city gates, just the south gate, which is now facing a situation where no one can guard it.

With a flicker in his eyes, Changsun Ji was thinking, after the city was broken, should he retreat to the palace with the prince, or take advantage of the opportunity of the city to leave the chaotic place of the capital.

However, no matter whether the capital is broken or not, the crown prince won this game.Dayan's entire imperial palace was built as a city within a city. Even with the strength of the city wall alone, there should be no problem in sustaining it for two days.Even if the palace is breached by rebels, as long as the crown prince is not caught by these rebels, then the prince is sure to win.

The sun was rising high, and Changsun Ji looked at the radiant warmth, but at this moment he couldn't feel his warmth.

If possible, he hoped that the sun would rise later.

However, this is obviously an extravagant hope, and a new round of offensive and defensive battles is just beginning.

Far away, the rebels under the city began to attack the city wall.Watching the group of rebels approaching slowly under the attack of bows and arrows all over the sky, they jumped over the moat that was already filled with corpses, and put the ladder for climbing the city on the city wall.

At this time, just relying on bow and arrow attacks will not have much effect.Changsun Ji ordered: "The first team and the second team, continue to attack with bows and arrows, the third team and the fourth team, prepare to fall into the rock. The fifth team and the sixth team, prepare gold soup and oil pan. The seventh team and the eighth team, cut off their ladder to the sky. The nine team Ten teams, prepare to assist each team in the center."

Following Changsun Ji's order, the teams started to move, and as the number of arrows shot decreased, large stones were thrown down from the city wall.

Immediately there were screams from below. On the city wall, large cauldrons were bundled together. Steam was rising from inside, and a stench permeated the surroundings. Naturally, it was boiled golden juice.

There was already a ladder on the edge of the city wall, but before the people below could climb up, the ladder was lifted up, and the person who was climbing in midair yelled and fell down wailing.

As more and more ladders climbed to the top of the city wall, Changsun Ji also began to let the young and middle-aged people who had been alternates start to go up the city wall to assist the soldiers in defending the city.

Pots of boiling oil and golden soup were poured down from the city wall and fell on the rebels below.

The rebels who were originally in good condition turned into monsters after being doused with hot oil. The hot oil shrank the skin of the rebels into a ball, and some even completely peeled off the skin from their bodies. Burned down.
