Chapter 979 Datang’s intervention is coming

In a small horse farm near the border, the people here saw all the situations just now. They were also affiliated with King Zhennan. They no longer wanted to go down and fight. The most important thing now was to tell King Zhennan about the situation here.

"Hurry up and ride a fast horse back through the small road. Your Majesty has predicted it well. The Tang army has already crossed the border. You must make preparations for your Majesty..."

When the person in charge here was talking, he suddenly couldn't continue talking at this point, and his subordinates looked anxious.

"If you have something to say, hurry up and say it. What time is it now? You are still hesitating. The Tang Dynasty's army has already come to kill you."

The man who was about to set out wanted to hear what he had to explain, but when he saw the arrows on his accomplices, he understood what was going on. It turned out that only part of the Tang army came from the official road, and the rest People filtered in from both sides, just in time to hear what they just said.

The three soldiers of the Tang Dynasty all hold serial crossbows in their hands. Since you people want to tip off King Zhennan, then don't blame us for being sorry to you.

Nanzhao Palace

There have been two tentative attacks, and this time the King of Zhennan has learned the lesson. Aren't you threatening me with your family members? Then I can also use this trick. Although I can't find the king's family members, I can find the family members of the palace guards.

At this moment, hundreds of people are tied up next to King Zhennan. All of these hundreds of people are family members of the palace guards. Find them one by one and let the people inside see clearly. If you don't surrender, your family members will be slaughtered immediately. .

This trick is still very useful. Prince's children don't care much about the life and death of their family members, but ordinary people still care. From just now to now, more than 20 people have climbed out of the wall, although they were later shot by the palace guards with bows and arrows. He died, but at least the morale of the soldiers inside was shaken.

His Royal Highness the King is now filled with hatred. Why didn't he think of this at the time? If you think about this, after driving those palace maids out, you should let these princes' guards bring in your family members. The palace wall is very high now. If King Zhennan wants to come in, then I'm afraid Not very easy.

Of course, there is a more important point: King Zhennan has already predicted that he will win, so the palace cannot be damaged too seriously. If the damage is too serious, how will he live in it in the future?

Zhennan Palace has been burned to ashes. This must be what His Highness the King ordered. Now that he has taken power, he must work in the palace. If this place is destroyed again, , does he want to find a kennel by himself? Therefore, all the attack methods proposed by his subordinates were rejected by King Zhennan. What King Zhennan has to do now is to attack the heart first.

A whole morning passed like this. Except for the first few dozen people who climbed up the wall and came out, no one came out from behind. King Zhennan also lost patience at this time, but he did not kill all these people. .

He himself has the pain of losing his loved ones. If he kills all the family members of the palace guards, I am afraid that these palace guards will also lose their minds. When he attacks, these people will fight to the end. , will bring huge trouble to oneself. If someone wants to fight to the death, the entire palace may be burned down in the end.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have received news that before we entered the city, the traitors had already brought in thirty cartloads of lamp oil..."

One of his generals came on horseback from a distance, followed by a merchant. This man was a lamp oil merchant in the royal city. According to him, when the war just started, all the lamp oil was taken away by His Highness the King. , but a batch of them had been stored in his warehouse and guarded by the palace guards. Later, when the city wall was breached, the king took this batch of lamp oil to the palace.

When he heard this, King Zhennan went to the shop owner to confirm again, and then he realized how cruel this brother was. It turned out that he had never thought about reconciliation from the beginning, as long as the palace was about to be captured. There are signs that this brother may set the entire palace on fire.

"Damn bastard, pull up the siege machinery for me."

After hearing what King Zhennan said, the generals under his command breathed a sigh of relief. When they started to attack just now, some people were about to pull the catapult over, but King Zhennan stopped them. If they had to rely on people, If they put their lives into it, by the time this war is over, these generals will all become bachelor commanders.

The battle outside the city gate had already caused them to lose about one-third of their soldiers. After arriving in the city, another group of people died. Now they have finally surrounded the palace. If they use those siege weapons In terms of equipment, this person is extremely rare, but if it depends on flesh and blood, then I am afraid that the remaining half cannot be preserved.

Before the king who was inspecting the palace also discovered this scene, he thought that his second brother wanted this palace, so he would not use slings. But at this moment, his subordinates reported that there were many slings being pulled around, and It is in the state of installation. As long as King Zhennan gives an order, large rocks may hit the palace.

"Go, go and tell your good nephew, if a stone falls in the queen mother's palace, won't he even want his own mother?"

The king suddenly saw his uncles. When the soldiers from outside the city came in, the two uncles ran directly to the palace with their families. They all supported King Zhennan and were supposed to wait at their own homes. But those rebels were really terrifying, so they had no choice but to take their families to the palace to take shelter.

According to their thinking, no matter which of the two nephews wins the throne, there is no problem for them to be uncles. They originally thought of hiding here, but unexpectedly they were pushed up the city wall.

Although this uncle didn't want to go up, after all, the sword has no eyes. If the archers outside shoot arrows, wouldn't he be nailed to the city wall? But seeing the king's fierce look, if he had said no, he would have strangled himself on the spot.

The uncle climbed up to the palace wall tremblingly. This place was only one size smaller than the city wall outside, and all the facilities were complete...
