The sky was dark, but the Beiliang Imperial City was brightly lit.
"quick!"
"Go up to the tower and be on guard."
"We must not let the Dajing Army enter the city!"
The tall buildings in the imperial city are majestic and magnificent.
The Northern Liang army climbed up the city wall carrying kerosene and bows and arrows.
There are 70,000 troops outside the city, ready to go.
Han Cheng walked up to Ji Ye and said, "Prince, everything is ready."
Ji Ye nodded: "My father promised in front of all the civil and military officials that if we win this battle, he will make me the crown prince.
This battle is crucial. ”
...
...
Ji Ye turned his head to look at Han Cheng and whispered: "This king not only wants to win, but also wants to win beautifully."
Hearing this, Han Cheng raised his eyes, clasped his fists and saluted: "I swear to follow the eldest prince until death."
"We will do our best in this battle and make sure that the Dajing Army will never return."
A young man from Hancheng became famous and defeated the Western Jin Dynasty in one battle.
In succession, three cities of the Western Jin Dynasty were incorporated into the territory of Northern Liang.
If Xiahou Dun is the god of war of Beiliang, Han Cheng is no less so.
There were even rumors in various parts of Beiliang that Han Cheng would replace Xiahou Dun as the God of War.
Ji Ye nodded in satisfaction and whispered, "This king, I am looking forward to the arrival of the Dajing Army soon."
Late at night, midnight.
There was movement in the Beiliang Imperial City.
Gu Zhenbei lit torches and led his troops towards the imperial city.
The flames stretched on and on, as if there was no end in sight.
Ji Ye in the imperial city frowned: "What's going on? How can there be so many of the 150,000 Great Jing troops?"
"Is the scout's information accurate?"
Han Cheng was also stunned.
If the other party is cheating, the torch will definitely not move.
But the torch was moving at a constant speed, which must have been done by a "real person".
Han Cheng's face darkened: "Prince, there are probably 200,000 Dajing troops under the city."
It is twice as many as the Northern Liang Army.
It is a big taboo to not have a clear understanding of the enemy's situation when marching and fighting!
The Zhenbei Army was approaching the city. Gu Zhenbei heard someone shouting from the city wall: "Who is the commander of Dajing?"
Gu Zhenbei raised his voice and said, "I am the general of the Great Jingzhu State, Huo Bei."
A year ago, the Northern Liang Army didn't know Huo Bei.
In just half a month, this name was like a plague, entangled in their hearts and they could not get rid of it.
Ji Ye gave the order: "Shoot!"
The Beiliang archers immediately drew their bows and put arrows on.
Thousands of arrows were fired at the Zhenbei Army.
Gu Zhenbei didn't even need to speak; Li Shixin, who was following him, waved.
The Zhenbei Army, holding steel shields, immediately changed their formation and formed a shield formation.
Beiliang's sharp arrows continuously hit the steel shields, but apart from scratching them, they did not hurt the Zhenbei Army at all.
Han Cheng immediately called a halt upon seeing this, as if this continued, all the arrows would be wasted.
The sharp arrows stopped suddenly and the shield formation was withdrawn.
Gu Zhenbei sneered: "A three-year-old kid is playing a trick of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and he actually put it on the battlefield to show off his skills."
He had been hostile to Xiahou Dun for many years, and suddenly facing Ji Ye's petty tricks, it was like scratching an itch through a shoe, making him feel itchy all over.
Gu Zhenbei gave an order: "Attack the city!"
Tanks bombarded the city gate, the city wall loosened, and stone fragments fell.
Rocket launchers bombarded the city walls, and the Beiliang army fled in panic.
This was the first time Han Cheng had seen such combat power.
Now he understood why Huo Bei, with the help of 150,000 troops from Dajing, was able to destroy Beiliang cities one after another.
They broke into the capital city with unstoppable force.
The fire truck and ladder entered the battlefield, and Gu Zhenbei gave the order: "Attack the city!"
Under the bombardment of artillery shells, Han Cheng took Ji Ye and ran towards the city wall.
There was kerosene on the city wall, which could not withstand the heavy bombardment.
If you are not careful, the kerosene will get on your body and there will be no chance of survival.
"ah!"
The Beiliang army rolled on the ground, some dead and some wounded.
Suddenly, the city gate collapsed to the ground.
The Northern Liang army did not dare to rush out of the city gate and could only retreat step by step.
Gu Zhenbei led his troops into the city.
Li Shixin held a megaphone and said: "If the Northern Liang army surrenders, they can keep their lives."
"From now on, Beiliang will be destroyed and become part of Dajing's territory. The new emperor of Dajing will be respected as the monarch."
What Xiao Jingzhou wanted was to unify the world, not to increase killing.
Gu Zhenbei understood Xiao Jingzhou, and at the same time, he didn't want to let more people die in vain.
At the same time, he also understood that as generals, dying on the battlefield for the country was their duty.
He wanted to say these words to the King of Beiliang.
If the King of Beiliang is willing to surrender, these soldiers can also keep their lives.
Ji Ye looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground. His bloodshot eyes were filled with not only hatred but also a bit of fear.
In his opinion, Dajing's weapons were too powerful, and he could inflict heavy damage to the Beiliang army without getting close to them.
With the addition of an army of 150,000, he began to feel a little desperate.
Ji Ye held Han Cheng back and asked, "Can the current strength of our troops hold out until dawn?"
Han Cheng was silent.
The Dajing army broke through the city gate in less than an hour.
They did not carry out mass killings in the imperial city.
It doesn’t mean that they won’t destroy the Northern Liang Army.
Han Cheng shook his head, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes: "Prince, this battle is lost."
A complete defeat.
Ji Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go back to the palace!"
He wanted to persuade his father that if he surrendered at this moment, even if the royal family was destroyed, all civil and military officials would not be able to escape death.
Being able to save hundreds of thousands of common people in the imperial city was the last thing he did for the people.
Xiahou Dun was ambitious and led an army of 500,000 to attack Dajing.
When he has time, the people of Beiliang will surely escape from his clutches and no longer become slaves of a conquered nation.
Thinking of this, Ji Ye became more certain of his inner thoughts.
The remaining Beiliang troops escorted Ji Ye back to the palace. The moment the civil and military officials saw Ji Ye, they all rushed forward.
"The eldest prince has returned to the palace!"
"Did you win? Did you win?"
All the civil and military officials had smiles on their faces, and even the King of Beiliang breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Ye walked to the front of the hall and knelt down with a plop. Han Cheng behind him also knelt down.
Everyone was confused. Several princes wanted to ask, but they held their questions back.
When the King of Beiliang saw this, his heart sank.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his face looked a little stern.
"Defeated?"
With just two words, all the civil and military officials present could no longer stand.
There were constant sounds of panic in the hall. Some people were so frightened that they fainted on the spot, and the whole hall was in chaos.
Ji Ye said: "The Da Jing army is very powerful, and I am no match for them."
"The Great General Huo Bei of the Great Jing State is leading the Great Jing Army to the Imperial Palace."
"After attacking the city, Huo Bei threatened that if Beiliang surrendered, he could spare the lives of the people."
"There are hundreds of thousands of civilians in the imperial city, and there are tens of thousands of Beiliang soldiers. If these lives can be saved, I am willing to die in exchange for my life."
Ji Ye said: "Father, surrender!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Several princes could no longer sit still and pointed at Ji Ye.
"What did my brother say? If you kneel down and beg for mercy, will Dajing let the people go?"
"Don't forget how Chibei treated the people of Dongzhou in Guyan County."
The King of Beiliang closed his eyes and said calmly, "The enemy will not let the people go just because you are cowardly.
It may even get worse, I dare not gamble. ”
The King of Beiliang said loudly: "The eldest prince was disrespectful in front of the palace and fled in the face of battle. He will be demoted to a commoner and kicked out of the palace immediately."
"Han Cheng leads his troops to defend the imperial city to the death. If anything goes wrong, you will be beheaded!"
Ji Ye was dragged away, and several princes were even a little envious.
If what Da Jingjun said was true, perhaps Ji Ye could still save his life.
