The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

As these words were spoken, everyone's expressions brightened.

Prince Qing sat in the chair, still with no expression on his face. He just leaned back, hiding half of his body where the candlelight could not reach.

However, Jin Pingyong's face glowed more and more red under the candlelight. He shook his sleeves, bowed to Prince Qing, and then laughed loudly:

"This is all thanks to the prince."

"The prince ordered people to collect all the kerosene for use in the battle on the front line."

"Hey! Once the fire heats up, the rebels will be burned to ashes! Haha!"

Amidst the laughter, the others followed suit, but Wang Yong couldn't help but ask:

"I am a little confused. Since you have prepared kerosene, why didn't you use it at the beginning? If you do this, the rebels won't be able to break through the Sheep and Horse Wall."

Jin Pingyong glanced at him and said with a smile: "The Earth Official doesn't understand this, right?"

"The rebels used kerosene outside the Yangma Wall. Won't they flee once they are burned? Even if we can burn some of them to death, it will be useless. Once they regroup and come back again, our trick will be useless."

"After all, there aren't that many, so naturally we have to use them in the most appropriate places."

Wang Yong looked ashamed and bowed his head, saying, "I really don't know much about the art of war."

Jin Pingyong waved his hand and said with a calm smile: "It's okay."

"Yangma City is spacious enough, so the most suitable place to set the fire is inside the city wall. That is the prison, and everyone who enters will be roasted by the flames. Of course, the right time is also extremely important."

"The enemy will have to endure our fierce attack just in Yangma City, and if they choose to force their way into the city, they will be overwhelmed."

"Of course, if we set fire to the rebels when only a few of them enter the city, it would be a waste of kerosene. So we have to wait until enough of them enter before we kill them all at once!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yong broke out in a cold sweat. After all, just thinking about that scene was enough to make one shudder.

"So that's how it is. This way, we can indeed wipe out a lot of rebels." Wang Yong followed.

Jin Pingyong nodded and smiled, "Yes, I think many of you may think that this battle with the rebels is just to repel them, but it is not true."

"The imperial court has been creating opportunities for a counterattack."

"Nan Ze has quite a few soldiers. Even if several towers are full of people, that's not all of our troops. Most of our troops are waiting in the inner city."

"As long as the battle on the front line is successful, we will go out of the city to counterattack." At this point, Jin Pingyong's face gradually became fierce. He clenched his fist and waved it, saying loudly:

"This is a life-and-death battle. Success or failure depends on this one!"

"Since the traitor has come here personally with his troops, we must seize this opportunity. As long as we seize it, everything else will fall into place smoothly, and we won't have to stay in Nanze forever!"

These words made everyone in the hall look excited, and Wang Yong couldn't help but feel confident.

Then, everyone talked about the front line, but the previous sluggish atmosphere was swept away. After a moment, a man came hurriedly. It was Xiong Yong.

As soon as he entered the hall, Xiong Yong looked up, but he didn't see Jin Fengluan. Before he could speak, Jin Pingyong beside him smiled and said:

"Your Majesty has gone to the Yangxin Palace. How about it, Officer Xia? There should be good news from the front, right?"

Xiong Yong shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Not only that, but it also brought bad news."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Pingyong's face froze, and Prince Qing also raised his head, his brows furrowed into a knot.

"Huh? How could this happen? What went wrong?" Jin Pingyong shook his head, a look of disbelief on his face.

Xiong Yong looked unhappy, and continued, "We have been fighting according to plan, and nothing has gone wrong. It's just that the enemy is too fierce, and our offensive has not had much effect."

"The current battle situation is that the Yangma Wall is already full of enemy troops, and the enemy troops in Yangma City are even more unstoppable, and..."

Xiong Yong paused slightly, and everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on him. The atmosphere unconsciously became tense again. Wang Yong wiped the sweat from his temples, his heart beating up and down.

Xiong Yong sighed and then continued:

"The defenders on the outer city wall have suffered heavy casualties. Their weapons and defensive fortifications will soon be gone."

Everyone's breathing stopped almost at the same time, and their faces fell.

"In addition, a few moments ago, the outer city gate was breached by the enemy, and they have entered the city."

After saying this, Xiong Yong swallowed his saliva and added: "You know, it took less than an hour and a half from the time the Yangma Gate was breached to the time the Wengcheng Gate was breached."

"The defenders on the outer city wall are doing their best to stop them and attack them as much as possible. It can be said that they are doing it without reservation. They even borrowed 15 artillery pieces from the defenders in the back."

"The enemy broke in forcefully."

After saying this last sentence, Xiong Yong bowed to everyone and said, "I will go to the Yangxin Palace."

After saying that, he turned and left.

There was silence in the hall, and everyone looked stunned and a little panicked.

Jin Pingyong's face flushed, and he shouted to Xiong Yong who was walking out:

"Wait! Xia Guan!"

"I guess the enemy must have lost a lot of troops to force their way into the city like this?"

Xiong Yong had just walked to the threshold when he heard this and turned around and said, "A lot of people died."

Jin Pingyong's ugly expression finally eased a little, and he said coldly: "That's good, they will die anyway if they enter the city!"

Xiong Yong suddenly said, "According to the garrison troops at the front, the rebels are still sending in more troops and various weapons."

"It's like there's never a break. They seem to have an endless supply of troops."

As soon as these words came out, Jin Pingyong suddenly shouted angrily: "How is it possible?!"

"Didn't they say that the enemy only had about 100,000 soldiers in the Datong battle?! Jin Zhou also said that although they lost the battle, they also caused 20,000 to 30,000 casualties to the rebels!"

"It's only been a few days since the battle at Datong. Where did he get the reinforcements?!"

Xiong Yong shook his head and sighed, "I'm not sure about that, but it's true that the enemy is increasing their troops into the city, and the soldiers on the front line wouldn't lie about the military situation at this time."

Jin Pingyong's face flushed red, and he waved his hands fiercely and said, "Could it be that Jin Zhou lied about the military intelligence before?! This guy was defeated and lied to cover up the truth?!"

Xiong Yong still shook his head. "It's no use guessing now. After all, His Majesty asked Jin Zhou to make amends and ordered him to guard the main tower."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiong Yong bowed, said no more, and went towards the Yangxin Palace.

Jin Pingyong knelt on the ground with an ugly expression on his face. Everyone looked at him again. One of them asked carefully, "Your Highness, is this..."

"It doesn't matter! So what? It's just an attack on the city wall. Isn't it exactly as I said? Once you enter the city wall, you will die anyway!"

These words lacked the same momentum as before. Jin Pingyong dodged everyone's gazes, but there were too many of them and the worry expressed in their eyes was extremely naked.

Jin Pingyong was filled with anger and waved his sleeves:

"What?! Are you scared again?"

"I'm not afraid!"

"If these rebels can break into the city tonight, I will personally put on armor and hold a spear to fight them! Humph!" He stuck out his fat belly and a loud but sharp voice came out of his throat.

"I'm going out."

At this moment, Prince Qing suddenly stood up from his chair and walked out with his hands behind his back.
