He gave an order: "Let's go and meet Liu Wenyao. Remember, try to drive the carriage to the city gate. Cannons and muskets are too heavy. It's easy to shoot straight, but it's very difficult to shoot downwards. As long as you hide in front of the city gate, they won't be able to launch a sneak attack."
"The hand cannon is not very powerful, but our shields can handle it."
After giving instructions again, Liu Zeqing's carriage quickly arrived in front of the Iron Gate and stopped thirty steps away from the city gate.
He squatted in the carriage and shouted outside: "I am Liu Zeqing, your subordinate, to see Governor Liu! Where is the crown prince? Your subordinate would like to pay his respects to him."
Liu Wenyao spat softly, and Liu Zeqing's voice was deep and high-pitched, and he didn't look hurt at all.
He shouted expressionlessly, "Where did General Liu get hurt when he fell off his horse? Can you please stand up so I can take a look?"
Liu Zeqing's voice sounded again: "Excuse me, Commander Liu. I just applied the medicine and cannot be exposed to the wind."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is right behind me, why don't you come out and salute?"
Seeing that Liu Zeqing did not show up, Liu Wenyao moved the prince out. Only by seeing Liu Zeqing in person could he act according to the plan.
If it wasn't Liu Zeqing who was killed, the consequences would be disastrous.
This earthen city simply cannot withstand the siege of 15,000 people!
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Zeqing got out of the carriage at an extremely slow speed. As he got out, the nearby guards stepped forward and raised their shields high.
He stepped off the carriage and stepped on the soft sand, bowing and saying, "Your Highness, I am Liu Zeqing, your Highness. I was injured when I fell off my horse and cannot be exposed to the wind. I can only use my shield to block it. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
Zhu Cilang turned around and came out from behind Liu Wenyao. He asked the eunuchs to hold up torches, and the red light of the flames made his tender cheeks red.
"Liu Zeqing, I (Prince Ming formally called himself in front of officials) can't see your face clearly."
Liu Zeqing looked up at the top of the city wall, and after confirming that it was the prince without a doubt, the stone in his heart finally fell.
As long as the prince is there, the military pay will not go away.
He ordered Zhang Yuan: "Bring a torch so His Royal Highness can see more clearly."
He just took the oil-soaked torch and raised it high without waiting for Zhang Yuan.
There was a loud bang.
The earth trembled, smoke and dust rose into the sky, and gravel and lead bullets scattered everywhere.
