The Invincible Sixth Prince

The news from the city defenders quickly reached the court.

At this moment, Yuan Shu and Qiu Chi were discussing countermeasures.

There were nearly half as many ministers in the court as before.

Some escaped with their families before the Beifu army surrounded them, some were executed by Yuan Su for causing rebellion, and some simply got into trouble with Yuan Su when Yuan Su was in a bad mood and have been killed. In jail.

Facing the siege of the Beifu Army, the ministers of Yuan Shu and Qiu Chi panicked.

At this moment, after receiving news from the city defenders, the court was enveloped in an atmosphere of panic.

"How to do how to do……"

Yuan Shu's complexion was very poor, and his mental state was also very wrong. He was sometimes depressed and sometimes crazy.

Now, Yuan Su was mumbling to himself as if he had lost his soul.

For the past few days, Yuan Su could not sleep at night, and was worried every day, fearing that someone would behead him in his sleep and present it to Yun Zheng to claim his reward.

Yuan Shu didn't know how many times he woke up from nightmares.

He even dreamed of being beheaded by his own son Yuan Wei.

After waking up from the dream, Yuan Su immediately settled with Yuan Wei about his abandonment and escape. He ignored the advice of his ministers and directly put Yuan Wei in prison.

Yuan Shu knew that Yuan Wei was also helpless.

After all, the Sole River Plains had been breached, and the army in front of them had either died in battle or been swallowed up by Lou Yi, a hungry wolf. Even if Yuanwei did not abandon the pass and escape, as long as the Beifu army surrounded it and cut off the food route of Tianqiong Pass, Tianqiong Pass will also fall, and even the defenders of Tianqiong Pass will surrender.

But he just wasn't reassured.

Afraid that the things in the dream will become reality.

Today, only Sha Zhen and Yao Cuo can enter Yuan Su's palace.

"Your Majesty, let's break out!"

At this time, a civil servant suggested with a sad face: "We still have so many people, as long as we rush out, we can definitely escort the king to leave safely!"

"Charge? How?"

A military general immediately stood up and objected, "The enemy is surrounding three buildings just to make them abandon the city and run away! The enemy has so many cavalry, and we are almost all infantry. How can we outrun the cavalry?"

Rushing out is purely seeking death!

Even if the enemy doesn't attack, as soon as they rush out, their soldiers will scatter in all directions!

"What if you don't rush there? Are you just waiting to die in the city?"

"We can still defend it! Is it not that easy for the enemy to attack the city by force?"

"How to defend it? The enemy will just keep smashing it with catapults. How long can our city wall last?"

"When the city is destroyed, no chickens or dogs will be left alive! Do you think Yunzheng can't do it?"

"Then we will send people to rush out and destroy their catapults!"

"Sending people out now will mean death! Even if the catapult is destroyed, the enemy can't rebuild it?"

"..."

Suddenly, a group of ministers started arguing again.

In fact, most people are descended from the Lord.

But Yuan Shu was afraid of death and still took chances, refusing to surrender.

Several ministers who had previously advocated opening the city to surrender had already been cut into pieces by Yuan Shu's five horses.

Now, even if they advocate surrender, they dare not speak out.

"Somebody come!"

Just when everyone was arguing, Yuan Shu suddenly yelled.

When the palace guards outside the palace ran in, Yuan Su immediately pointed at the civil servant who spoke first and shouted angrily: "Drag this traitor and traitor down to me and chop him down!"

Yuan Shu's sudden outburst made everyone confused.

They didn't even know why Yuan Shu wanted to kill this minister.

Just because he suggested that Yuan Su lead his army to rush out of the city?

"Your Majesty, what is my crime?"

The civil servant knelt on the ground with a bang, "I am doing this for the good of the king..."

"Do you think that I don't know that you just want to rush out and surrender?" Yuan Suruo looked crazy, staring at the civil servant, "If you want to surrender, I will never give you a chance!"

With that said, Yuan Su angrily urged the palace guards to drag the civil servant down and chop him down.

No matter how many civil servants begged for mercy, Yuan Shu remained indifferent.

Seeing that his begging for mercy was in vain, the civil servant could no longer bear it and allowed the palace guards to drag him out. He cursed loudly: "Yuanshu, you stupid king! You will not die! I will wait for you on the Huangquan Road..."

Yuan Su was so angry that he rushed down from the throne, rushed out of the palace gate and shouted at the palace guards: "Let this traitor be quartered by five horses! I will let him die without a complete body!!!"

Looking at Yuan Shu who was going crazy, many ministers were secretly frightened.

No one knows which of his words will anger Yuan Shu, who is almost crazy.

No one knows if they will be the next person to be killed for no reason.

At this moment, many people gave up the idea of ​​coexisting with Yufeng City.

They just want to escape from this devil's cave quickly.

Suddenly, Yao Cuo and Sha Jie felt several eyes falling on them.

Almost instantly, the two understood what these people meant.

The two looked at each other silently and returned the same look.

Quietly, they seemed to have reached some kind of agreement.

……

Catapults struck from morning till night.

During this period, the soldiers who operated the catapults changed many dials.

This was also an opportunity for the soldiers to become familiar with the use of catapults.

The deterrent effect of the catapult is indeed good, but the effect is only average.

They smashed for a whole day, but they didn't kill ten enemy soldiers in total.

The main thing is that they are all concentrated in one place, and as long as the enemy is not a fool, they will know where to stay away.

However, under their constant attacks, a gap was opened in the upper part of the city wall.

If it continues like this, the gap will gradually expand and spread to the bottom of the city wall.

After dinner, Yun Zheng called Dugu Ce to the tent and told him his decision.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your cultivation!"

Duguce was so excited that he quickly stood up and saluted.

To say that Duguce doesn't want to go further is definitely a lie.

But he is already the deputy commander of the Beifu Army, and there is basically no possibility of going further.

But this time, it is a huge opportunity.

Destruction of the country!

This is definitely something that will leave a name in history!

"Sit down and talk."

Yun Zheng pressed his hands, "You are also a veteran of the Beifu Army. You can do whatever you want to cultivate! This king is putting a burden on your shoulders. You must take care of this as the Protector!"

Dugu Ce's chest rose and fell violently, and he nodded heavily: "I will definitely be devastated, and I will never betray His Highness's trust!"

"I believe in you!"

Yunzheng nodded and smiled, "I called you here because I want to talk to you about the future affairs of the Northwest Protectorate..."

Next, Yun Zheng chatted with Dugu Ce in detail.

The two talked a lot, from conquering the people's hearts to training the army, to containing the Dayue Kingdom, they talked about everything in detail.

Just as the two were chatting animatedly, the guards outside the tent suddenly ran in with excitement on their faces.

"Your Highness, Deputy Commander, there is news from the front that the enemy troops in the city are in chaos!"

Hearing the words of the guards, Yunzheng and Duguce stood up suddenly...
