Chapter 224: Battle against Ezhou City
Knowing that he liked practicing martial arts and fighting on the battlefield, they sent him to the border to fight and sent people to protect him to fulfill his wish.
Chi Ming, the nominal uncle of the emperor, once saved his life from the enemy's guns.
Since he was born, he has felt nothing but kindness, and he has no hatred towards the Chi family.
He also respects the emperor in front of him as his biological father.
As for the emperor's use of his mother, he didn't know whether he should blame him or not, but if the emperor had not done so back then, he would not have been born.
Her mother treated her very well indeed. She was a gentle and kind woman, but she was killed by Yun Yuxiang when the emperor was not paying attention.
Every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. The emperor has responsibility, but he is not the main one.
He should avenge the grudges of the previous generation, and he doesn't want to get entangled in other things.
In life, it's okay to be confused when you need to be confused.
At the very least, with his current identity, he can remain anonymous, travel around the world, or spend his whole life fighting on the frontier.
There are no shackles on my body, and I am free and happy.
As for calling him father, forget it.
He felt it was a bit presumptuous to call him that even though he knew his identity.
The emperor's expectant look was in vain:
"Alas...I am sorry for you."
If he hadn't been confused at that time, how could he have ended up in the current situation?
It's reasonable for Chi Ming to be fierce to him.
"You don't have to."
The emperor knew that Chi Zhuorui had a stubborn personality, so he did not try to persuade him, because he knew it was useless.
"Well, it's up to you."
"How is the capital now?"
"Now..."
As the saying goes, every day is a day, and Chi Zhuorui reports to the emperor on his recent work.
......
Chi Ming, who was being missed, had already arrived in Ezhou at full speed.
Ezhou is the provincial capital to the north of Hongzhou. The city of Ezhou stands on the mountain, and the mountain winds like a natural barrier, tightly surrounding it.
Inside the city, the mountains crisscross each other, like a fortress guarding the entire city.
The terrain of the city is staggered, and the streets and alleys are laid out along the mountaintops. If the enemy attacks, entering the city would be like being trapped in a maze and it would be very easy to lose the way. It can be said to be a natural military fortress that is as solid as a rock.
It can be said that once the rebels capture Ezhou City and cross the Xinglan River, there will be a vast plain to the north, with flat terrain all the way to the Dongxifu land.
By then, the capital city will be in danger!
At this time, the Ezhou City was shrouded in dark clouds, and the outline of the city wall became more solemn in the darkness.
Outside the city, densely packed rebels were ready to attack, stacked up like a ragtag army with no end in sight.
Their flags fluttered in the biting cold wind, like the fangs and claws of evil beasts.
The soldiers were wearing armor that was grim and flashing with cold light, with sharp blades drawn in their hands, full of murderous intent.
The war drums beat so loudly that the earth trembled slightly, as if announcing the coming storm to Ezhou City.
The war horses neighed, pawed the ground and raised their hooves, eager to break through the defense line.
King Jian stood in front of the battle line, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring at the gate of Ezhou City. His eyes were full of ruthlessness and determination to win.
As soon as the order is given, an attack like a surging tide will be launched.
As long as he can conquer this city, the world will be his.
His father was partial to him and set up his fiefdom in a barbaric land like Jianzhou, which he was not happy with.
The nine sons of the dragon are all different. Today, he will prove to the world that he is the most suitable one for the throne.
He will definitely become a famous emperor throughout the ages!
Prince Jian Chi Hui called himself the Army of Justice, pointed his spear to the sky, and shouted loudly: "My men, the emperor is unkind, the regent is cruel, and they have angered the heavens and the people. Thunder roars in a dry land, and the earth dragons turn over. Only by overthrowing them can we appease the anger of the heavens. Today we must take Ezhou and march to Jiangbei!"
The soldiers shouted: "Take Ezhou and march to Jiangbei!"
"Take Ezhou and march into Jiangbei!"
"Take Ezhou and march into Jiangbei!"
The loud shouts shocked people.
The horse under him also sensed the tense atmosphere and kept paddling the ground with its hooves, making neighing sounds.
On the city wall, the soldiers were on full alert. There were 300,000 enemy troops, but only 50,000 soldiers defending the city.
There is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us.
It was at this time that Chi Ming, without even covering his face, climbed up the city wall in broad daylight.
Looking down at Chi Hui below from high above.
Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, Chi Hui spotted him at first sight.
In an instant, shock overwhelmed him like a surging tide.
Chi Ming, shouldn't you be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison?
How come you are here?
It really is a trick of repairing the plank road in the open and marching through Chencang in secret!
He and Yun Yizi had long speculated that Chi Ming would definitely covet the power of the Regent, second only to the King Regent, and would never be willing to give it up easily.
"Chi Ming, you control the government, are cruel and merciless, and wantonly persecute loyal officials. Your actions have long aroused the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people."
"The emperor has thrown you into prison, but you still don't repent. You have escaped to this point. Why don't you quickly open the city gates and surrender to the emperor, so as to thank the world and restore peace to the world?"
Of course the rebels also saw it. They didn’t know who it was at first. They just saw that he was tall and straight, like a general.
But what did King Jian say? Chi Ming?
Isn't that the Regent?
It’s the Regent God of War!
No one in Dongxi was not afraid of the Regent. They became timid and stepped back involuntarily.
Chi Ming glanced at them with disdain and looked at King Jian sarcastically: "You rats, how dare you rebel!"
Prince Jian Chi Hui felt a little embarrassed, and then he shouted: "Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"
Chi Ming snorted and said, "I am in charge of government affairs, but how can I be called cruel and inhumane?
During the years that Your Majesty has been on the throne, the country has been peaceful, the weather has been favorable, the seas have been calm and the rivers have been clear, and the people have praised you. Only you have evil ambitions and want to overthrow the country. You deserve to die! ”
Chi Hui shouted in a stern voice, "Chi Ming, you are showing up in such a blatant manner now. You are treating the emperor's decree as a joke, openly defying the world's disapproval, imprisoning the emperor, and deceiving the world. This is really outrageous! Today, I am going to clear the emperor's side!"
Chi Ming's words were not for show: "Chi Hui, you are plotting a rebellion, which has angered the heavens and the people. The thunder in the dry land and the dragon turning over in the earth in recent days are the warnings from the heavens that they know about your rebellious actions!"
"I am no longer the regent. The emperor has released me because I truly repented and allowed me to atone for my sins. You are scheming to treason under the pretext of clearing the court of corrupt officials."
"King Jian intends to rebel, and anyone can kill him! Today, I will kill you and uphold the law!"
He used his inner strength, and every word he spoke was like thunder, reverberating through the mountains with an echo that never ceased to ring in the ears.
The soldiers under the city were also trembling.
That’s the God of War Regent.
He single-handedly repelled the attacks from Xirong and Nanzhao, allowing Dongxi to enjoy several years of peace.
The God of War is definitely someone who can defeat ten thousand enemies alone.
Now that he's here, do they have a chance of winning?
Chi Hui knew very well that if you fought once, you would lose strength, but if you fought twice, you would lose strength and if you fought three times, you would be exhausted.
He knew that if he let Chi Ming continue talking, the morale of the army would be shaken.
"My men, kill them!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
