Chapter 232 Siege
"The Yun family is a spy of Nanzhao, and you don't know that? You are just like that idiot Prince Jian, being used as a pawn without even realizing it."
"impossible!"
His grandfather couldn’t be from Nanzhao, and he was at a loss for a moment.
He looked at Yun Yizhi inquiringly: "Grandfather?"
But Yun Yizi didn't say anything.
Chi Zhuoxu was really panicked now. Could it be that all the people in the Yun family were from Nanzhao?
Doesn't that mean I also have the blood of the Nanzhao people flowing in my veins?
Is this the reason why my father has never appointed me as the crown prince?
Also, my grandfather became emperor for himself, not for him.
All the soldiers behind him belong to him, not a single one of his own.
What kind of rebellion is he committing?
However, my grandfather is already old, and I can’t be emperor for many more years, so the only ones left are the people on the city wall.
They absolutely cannot survive.
"Someone, throw the gunpowder out for this prince."
But after the shout, no one responded.
"Are you deaf? Throw the gunpowder away for this prince."
His answer was still silence.
Chi Zhuoxu was filled with despair. He finally realized that he had been deceived by his grandfather from the beginning.
He asked loudly, "Since you are a spy from Nanzhao, why did you send my mother into the palace?"
If his mother had not entered the palace, he would not be in this situation now.
The current situation is all caused by Yun Yizi.
Yun Yizi glanced at the personal soldiers beside him, who immediately pulled Chi Zhuoxu off the horse, tied him up, and stuffed a rag they got from somewhere into his mouth.
“Wuwuwu…”
After struggling, he was thrown to the back and lay on the ground, wriggling like a maggot.
But no one paid any attention to him.
When Chi Ming saw this internal strife, the sarcasm in his eyes became even stronger.
Chi Zhuoxu looks so cowardly that he definitely can't be of royal blood.
He was a little confused. Was Chi Zhuoxu talking about gunpowder just now?
Can gunpowder still be used on the battlefield?
He glanced at the chariot below and indeed found some black bumps with a cold metallic luster.
Is this what is called gunpowder?
In previous wars, gunpowder used for firecrackers and fireworks had never been used to blow up city walls.
He did not underestimate it, it might be a new weapon they had invented.
He gave Ming Yi who was in the dark a look, and Ming Yi went to investigate without making any expression.
At this time, Yun Chu woke up again, crying and shouting for his grandfather to save him.
Yun Yizi was so heartbroken.
"Chi Ming, how about you let them go and I persuade Nanzhao to withdraw their troops?"
"Yun Yizhi, I will fight back Nanzhao. You have evil ambitions. If you still want the lives of your children and grandchildren, then surrender. Otherwise, I will kill all your clans!"
"You say I have evil ambitions, but you are no different. You are stepping on my own authority. The right to execute the entire clan is reserved for the emperor!"
Chi Ming laughed out loud after hearing this: "Yun Yizi, you are already old, how many years can you enjoy glory even if you become the emperor?
Is it really worth it for you to work hard for Nanzhao? ”
Yun Yizi saw that the matter had been thoroughly exposed, so he stopped trying to cover it up and frankly admitted, "Why isn't it worth it? The Emperor of Nanzhao is wise and powerful, far superior to the Emperor of Dongxi who only knows how to take pills and practice Taoism. The world should have been unified by Nanzhao!"
"Haha, Yun Yizi, you are too arrogant and self-righteous!
Do you think the Emperor of Nanzhao will really take your Yun family seriously? ”
There was a gleam of ruthlessness in Chi Ming's eyes. Today was the day Yun Yizi would die.
Behind Yun Yizi, nearly 200,000 soldiers were on full alert. This was the private army that the Yun family had secretly accumulated over a hundred years.
Some of them were captured and dismissed by Chi Ming, while others joined King Jian's army and returned to their hometowns.
That was all he had.
Today is a battle of life and death.
"Chi Ming, Dongxi is facing internal and external troubles and it is difficult to escape. You might as well surrender and hand over the country to avoid the suffering of the people of the world.
I believe that under the leadership of the Nanzhao Emperor, the world will be peaceful and the people will have good weather and plenty of food and clothing. ”
Chi Ming stared at Yun Yizhi with disdain on his face, "I already knew that Nanzhao and Xirong would attack at the same time.
As for you, I will take you to the border of Nanzhao.
Do you think the Emperor of Nanzhao will withdraw his troops for you? Hahaha..."
He has a purpose for chatting with him here.
Not long after, Ming Yi came back, but no one could tell what the gesture he made was.
Chi Ming never let down his guard.
I'm afraid today will be difficult.
If it really is gunpowder that can explode, then Xingzhou may not be able to be saved.
He is still a little conceited.
Yun Yizi's face turned pale in an instant. He knew in his heart that although he was confident that the Yun family was important to Nanzhao, it was almost impossible to get the Emperor of Nanzhao to withdraw his troops for him.
The only option now is to fight hard.
Chi Ming would not give him a chance to breathe, and immediately shouted loudly: "Listen, soldiers below the city, Yun Yizhi is a Nanzhao spy!
You are all passionate men of Dongxi, how can you help the tyrant to commit atrocities?
Why don’t you quickly give up the dark and turn to the light! Anyone who lays down their weapons will not be killed! ”
He uses the same tricks, whatever they are, as long as they work.
Dongxi and Nanzhao have always been hostile to each other, and the common people naturally have their own standards.
Chi Ming used his internal force to speak, and when the soldiers heard it, there was a commotion, and many of them showed hesitation and struggle in their eyes.
They were all native Dongxi people who had lived on this land since childhood. Who would be willing to submit to Nanzhao and become a slave of a conquered country?
But now, they are in a dilemma.
However, morale was greatly affected.
Yun Nianzhao screamed with all his might: "Father, don't worry about us, just attack the city."
Yun Yizi's brows were knotted with worry. Did he really want to disregard the lives of his children and grandchildren?
Chi Ming saw his embarrassment and said, "I will not embarrass you. I said I will release you if you show up. I will keep my word."
As he said this, he drew out his sword and with a few slashes, the rope broke.
"Chi Ming, stop it!"
But all four ropes were broken.
"ah..."
The four men fell heavily to the ground from the high city gate, covered in blood, and there was no sound anymore.
Yun Yizhi was shocked: "Ah..."
"Attack the city!"
The eldest son and grandson whom he carefully nurtured.
He was brutally killed.
"Charge!"
The crossbow is at the front, shooting arrows without any cost.
The sky was raining arrows, and they were fired continuously. Chi Ming was ready for battle.
Even the Black Armor Army does not have this kind of repeating crossbow.
Yun Yizi has capable people under his command.
And that iron lump.
He was ready for a fierce battle.
On the city wall, the soldiers were on full alert, with their shields protecting them tightly.
Just wait for this wave of arrow rain to pass.
But after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
I couldn't help but stick my head out to check, and saw that the rain of arrows was still flying.
But the arrow fell down before it reached the city wall.
Shu Feng couldn't help but burst out laughing.
