"Click"
"Boom boom"
"Thunderbolt"
…
Several bolts of lightning struck the rebels' eyes, halting their advance.
The rebels on the front line were all quite frightened.
It was almost there. If they had been a step faster, the lightning would have struck them.
At this time, there were constant thunder and lightning in the sky, which struck from time to time.
Both sides in front of the battle were stunned.
But the people in the capital are happy because destiny is in their hands.
God is helping them.
"The rebels are disloyal, unjust, unkind, and unfraternal, and they are being punished by heaven."
General Yu shouted at the top of his lungs from the city wall, "If you don't surrender quickly and join the rebels in rebellion, you will be struck by lightning and go to hell after death, where you will never be able to be reborn."
Crash!
On the rebel side, many soldiers who were unwilling to join the rebels immediately dropped their ladders and fled in all directions.
Once there is one, there will be two. When you see someone running, everyone will run along.
There were more than 300,000 soldiers, but tens of thousands of them ran away, which was enough to shake the morale of the army.
Not to mention the thunder in the sky and the rumbling in the dark clouds.
"Come back, come back, come back to this king."
The Three Kings roared.
"Anyone who dares to escape will be killed immediately."
"Kill him for me"
…
The situation on the rebel side got out of control and became chaotic.
But on the city wall, General Yu was still shouting, "Capturing the rebel king will atone for his sins."
"Catch the rebel king and redeem his sins."
The soldiers in the capital also shouted in unison, and the deafening sound echoed throughout the world.
The faces of the King of Qi, the King of Han, and the King of Xiang turned cold. "Quick, protect the emperor and retreat."
They were quite frightened, but fortunately there were still many loyal soldiers protecting them, otherwise they would have been caught and had to pay for their crimes.
"General, this is a godsend opportunity. We..."
"Don't chase after a desperate enemy. We just need to defend the capital, protect the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the other princes and princesses, and wait for the Emperor to return."
General Yu shook his head, not daring to take the risk.
Even though this battle ended in an oolong before it even started, the King of Qi, the King of Han, and the King of Xiang were all powerful.
After all, there are hundreds of thousands of troops. If they go out of the city gate to pursue the rebels, the rebels will be desperate and they will be the ones who suffer.
"General, are we just going to do it and not do anything?"
Some people were unwilling to accept this, thinking that they could have led their troops out of the city to quell the rebellion, but they missed such a good opportunity.
"Don't you look at the sky? The thunder is still roaring in the sky."
General Yu still had some concerns after all.
He felt that there was something strange about the one thousand meters ahead of the rebels. The thunder struck there of all places.
Those who were still unwilling to give up at this time gave up their thoughts after hearing General Yu's words and the rumbling thunder in the sky.
Just then, the downpour finally came.
Compared to the cheers in the rain in the capital, the rebels were in a mess.
"Yeah, mother, the rebels have all run away."
On the Star-Picking Tower, the prince was extremely happy.
Bei Lingyao smiled slightly. This was also her first time fighting like this.
Although it was not a real killing, Bei Lingyao was quite satisfied with the result.
If it was an invasion by a foreign country or race, she would naturally not be polite, but there were many civilians among the rebels who had no choice but to sacrifice themselves, and they could not be sacrificed in vain.
We are all citizens of Dajing. Instead of using our energy to kill each other, we might as well attack the invaders.
This is also the reason why Bei Lingyao looks down upon the princes the most.
Foreign enemies invaded and Jiang Liangji rebelled in the northwest. Even if these vassal kings did not help, they should not add to the chaos.
Yet they still rebelled and created internal unrest.
He is so evil!
"Mother, let's go back. My sisters and brothers must miss us."
The prince's tense heart also relaxed.
"Okay, let's go back."
Bei Lingyao held her son's hand and walked down the stairs one step at a time.
"Today's battle was easy, but we had some luck. It was God who helped us. But we can't rely on God for everything. Luck will eventually run out."
Bei Lingyao didn't care whether her son understood or not, but she still had to say it.
We must not let our son think that fighting a war is too easy and that he can win it just by relying on luck.
In this world, she was a maid in Taiji Palace. Before being sold into the palace, she was just a peasant girl of seven or eight years old.
She could neither show that she could fight nor that she knew martial arts.
He only brought the prince to the city gate to stabilize the morale of the troops.
But for now, Bei Lingyao is still very satisfied with her personality.
After returning to Fuhua Palace, Bei Lingyao asked people to prepare ginger soup and everyone drank a bowl.
It rained all night, with occasional thunder. All five children slept in the big bed with Bei Lingyao.
Afraid that the thunder would scare the children, Bei Lingyao patted this child and stroked that child gently.
At this time, the soldiers guarding the city gate were still holding their posts.
Feeling the rain had subsided a bit, Bei Lingyao called Xiao Linzi over and said, "Tell General Yu to prepare ginger soup for the soldiers defending the city."
"I obey your command."
After Xiao Linzi left, Bei Lingyao paid attention to the situation on the rebel side.
The King of Qi, the King of Han and the King of Xiang are three brothers who share the same fate and are in a miserable state.
The heavy rain came at the right time. Although the three brothers left under the escort of their men, they were inevitably caught in the rain.
Not only were they in a mess, but the soldiers also ran away in all directions, the morale of the army was in chaos, and they suffered heavy losses.
But this is just the beginning.
The news that the rebels were struck by lightning was spread all over the country by people with ulterior motives.
The reputations of the three princes suffered a severe setback.
I can't even pick it up.
They quickly fled back to their own fiefdom.
The imperial court went to recruit deserters from the three vassal kings.
We cannot leave so many people alone, otherwise they will occupy the mountains and become kings, which will cause trouble for the court in the future.
Those who want to join the army can join.
If they want to farm, let them open up wasteland and farm.
Let them play to their strengths.
As for the three princes, Bei Lingyao did not take any action against them.
They are all waiting for Emperor Yanxing to come back.
However, members of the royal family wrote letters demanding severe punishment.
Another neglected vassal prince, Prince Yi, was also taken back to the capital.
After the situation in the capital calmed down, Bei Lingyao began to worry about Emperor Yanxing outside.
The life-saving talisman she gave to Emperor Yanxing was not used, and Emperor Yanxing is not in any danger now.
However, the army led by Emperor Yanxing did not gain any advantage when it faced Jiang Liangji's Northwest Army.
Emperor Yanxing's main purpose was to persuade the Northwest Army to surrender, hoping that they would not follow Jiang Liangji in rebellion.
The Northwest still has to rely on these people to guard it. Even if these people need to be replaced, it will not be easy to find a large number of troops to replace them.
The Yu people want to fight, but the northwest defense line cannot be broken.
"Your Majesty, I will go and assassinate Jiang Liangji."
Vanguard Yang Lie volunteered to fight, thinking that Jiang Liangji was too hated.
Those who collaborate with the enemy and sell out their country are not good people.
"Although I cherish the hearts of the Northwestern soldiers, this battle must be fought. Not only must we win, but we must also severely subdue the Northwestern Army, so that these brave Northwestern generals will return to their hearts."
Emperor Yanxing looked at Yang Lie and said, "Jiang Liangji, I will kill him."
