"The Demon Queen is a disaster to the country, kill her!"
Bei Lingyao: ...
This hat and this accusation are all random.
Do they understand what a demon queen is?
However, Bei Lingyao was not stupid enough to bother with these rebels.
She prefers to win people over with virtue.
"Prime Minister Xu, the generals, and the princes have disregarded the country and the people for their own selfish interests and put the people of the world in dire straits. Their crimes deserve death.
But these more than 300,000 rebels are also the people of our Dajing. It is a great virtue for them to admit their mistakes and correct them. As long as King Qi, King Han, King Xiang and Ruo lay down their arms and surrender, they can be given a lenient sentence and will not be punished.
otherwise……"
Bei Lingyao didn't continue.
All the civil and military officials understood Bei Lingyao's meaning.
She looked at the densely packed army of hundreds of thousands not far from the city wall.
Many soldiers were skinny and had empty and numb eyes. It was obvious at first glance that they were captured to be used as human shields and cannon fodder.
If a real fight breaks out, the capital will not lose, but whether it is the rebels or the imperial army, countless casualties are certain.
Bei Lingyao looked up at the dark clouds gathering in the sky. "System, if it rains and thunders, will I cause death if I throw lightning rods at the rebels?"
[Yes, because the host has borrowed the power of heavenly thunder.]
[All right]
Bei Lingyao gave up the idea of killing a few princes with lightning.
The system said: [Generally speaking, if there is thunder and rain, as long as the host doesn't kill anyone with thunder, there will be no problem.]
When Bei Lingyao heard this, she was delighted, as she had quite a few lightning rods in her space.
In this superstitious ancient time, lightning rods could be used to attract people.
Bei Lingyao asked someone to bring a bow and arrow. Crown Prince Zhao Junluo raised his head and said in a childish voice, "Mother, I also want a bow and arrow."
"Your Highness, these bows and arrows are too heavy. You..."
Wang Qi, the guard left by Emperor Yanxing for the prince, said beside him.
"No problem, the prince needs a bow and arrow."
After the twins, a boy and a girl, were born, Bei Lingyao gave them powerful pills.
Therefore, Emperor Yanxing also knew that twins, boy and girl, were born with supernatural powers.
Bei Lingyao handed the bow and arrow in her hand to the prince.
The prince was a small man, pulling a big bow and arrow, which looked a little funny, but when the prince calmly pulled the bow to full length, everyone on the city wall was shocked.
Although this bow is lighter and more suitable for women, it is also what the queen needs, so they specially selected it for the queen.
Even the Queen would have difficulty pulling this bow.
But the four-year-old Crown Prince easily pulled the bow to its full length.
"Your Highness, please try this bow of yours."
The Minister of Works is now seventy years old, and Bei Lingyao has ordered that officials over the age of sixty do not have to come to the front line.
But the Minister of Works not only came, but also brought a handy bow and arrow.
This bow and arrow is only slightly heavier than Bei Lingyao's.
The prince pulled it up effortlessly, and the Minister of Works was overjoyed, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is born with supernatural strength."
General Yu Chengming came over and said, "Your Highness, please try this bow of mine."
"General Yu, this bow of yours weighs five hundred dan. Isn't this taking advantage of the young Crown Prince?"
The Minister of Works said unhappily that his bow and arrow weighed one stone and three dou (120 jin).
It is very powerful that the four-year-old Crown Prince can pull a 1.3-stone bow.
But General Yu only has a 500-stone bow, so what is this if not bullying the weak?
The old man is so shameless.
"minister……"
General Yu also felt confused.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only four years old, how could he possibly pull his 500-stone bow?
But General Yu was very surprised that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could pull a 1.3-stone bow.
"Try it alone"
The prince pulled a few times, gritted his teeth, but couldn't pull it out, so he gave up.
Bei Lingyao gently stroked her son's head and said with a loving smile, "Prince is still young. When you grow up, you will be able to pull a full 500-stone bow like General Yu."
"General Yu is very strong."
The young prince looked at the strong General Yu and had a goal in mind.
He wanted to become strong, protect the country, and protect his father, mother, and younger brothers and sisters.
Looking at the endless black army in the distance from the city wall, the prince was afraid, but he was accompanied by his mother, civil officials and generals, and the Black Dragon Guards left by his father.
There has never been a moment like this when the prince longed to be powerful so much.
At this time, I admire the powerful General Yu.
"I will draw the bow for the prince."
General Yu picked up the bow, pulled it to the full length and shot. With a chirp, the arrow flew through the air and pierced the rebels' royal flag from a distance.
With a crack, the big flag with the word "Qi" fell to the ground in an instant.
"That old bastard Yu Chengming."
The King of Qi was furious. "Come here, raise the royal flag for me, kill Yu Chengming, and seize the capital."
"Kill, kill, kill"
A fierce and murderous aura rose into the sky.
Everyone in the capital felt tremendous pressure.
"Crossbowmen Prepare"
Archers Prepare
Catapult Preparation
Tung Oil Preparation
…
The sound of drums and horns indicated that a great war was about to break out.
"The battlefield is dangerous. I ask the Empress and the Crown Prince to return to the palace. We are here to guard it."
"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Your Majesty the Queen and Your Highness the Crown Prince, please move aside."
"Yes, it's been overcast from morning till now. I don't know if it's going to rain."
"I'll leave this place to you. I hope no one is missing."
Bei Lingyao led the prince down the city wall.
She did leave, but took the prince to the Zhaixing Tower to watch the battle.
But before leaving, Bei Lingyao waved her sleeves, and several lightning rods fell five hundred meters in front of the rebels at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Everyone was wondering whether it would rain that day, but they didn't expect that thunder would come before the rain.
Just when the rebels ordered an attack on the city.
The front-line soldiers carrying the ladders had only run a hundred meters when lightning and thunder sounded in the sky.
Everyone looked at the sky, somewhat worried about thunder and lightning.
"Go ahead, what are you waiting for? Pass on my order. Anyone who dares to shake the morale of the army will be executed immediately."
The King of Qi gave the order in a deep voice.
King Han said, "It's going to rain today."
The King of Xiang retorted, "It's been cloudy these past few days. I've been waiting for a few days but it hasn't rained. Even if it rains, what's so scary about it?"
"How can we climb the ladder to attack the city when the roads are slippery due to the rain?"
King Han rolled his eyes at King Xiang, wondering if a man with such a brain was worthy of being his opponent.
"you"
The King of Xiang was angry.
The King of Qi spoke up at this time, "Today is just a test, my two royal brothers, please be patient."
The King of Qi was confident of victory, and he didn't expect to be able to break through the gates of the capital in one go.
There will definitely be a protracted battle.
As long as Emperor Yanxing can't return, he will take over the capital sooner or later.
"The useless Prince Yi has been captured by Zhao Jingchuan. I wonder if Jiang Liangji and the Yu people can trap Zhao Jingchuan."
There was a hint of worry in King Han's eyes.
King Xiang said, "I have already prepared a backup plan. Even if Zhao Jingchuan defeats Jiang Liangji and the Yu people, he will never be able to return to the capital smoothly."
King Han said: "The Yu people are not to be feared, but Jiang Liangji is in charge of the Northwest Army and should not be underestimated."
