Usakana stood behind the city wall, the two-meter long knife in his hand having been waiting for a long time.
"Why haven't Beidi's troops come yet?"
Wusaqi put a knife on the neck of the still living Beidi soldier, "Are you deceiving me?"
The soldier's face trembled, and he shook his head and begged for mercy: "No, what we said is true." Another soldier fell to the ground, refusing to close his eyes.
The few people who were still alive looked at the corpses on the ground for fear that they would be the next to suffer such torture. It would be better to die cleanly.
Usakana lowered his eyes, his huge eyes full of sternness: "Go and bring that useless prince to me."
Li Yuheng was dragged and thrown in front of Usakana, covered in blood.
"Where is Wei Ming's 130,000-strong army? They won't come."
Li Yuheng's head was stepped on and he remained silent.
"If you don't reply to me, Prince, then your tongue will be useless, so just cut it off."
Li Yuheng's chin was kicked hard by Usakana's toe, and the sound of the bone hitting his chin was so painful that he closed his eyes and muttered, "I am not only the prince of Beidi Kingdom, it will be useless even if you kill me."
But his trembling fingertips betrayed his inner fear.
Li Yuheng was afraid, afraid that Usakana would really kill him.
"Your Highness, there is a group of people approaching quietly." The Snow Country soldier standing on the wall shouted with a slightly raised voice.
Li Yuheng grabbed the ground with the fingertips of his hands and tried to stand up to look, but was knocked to the ground by Usakana.
When the sentry sent by Wei Ming to test the authenticity came to the bottom of the city wall on horseback, he immediately tightened the reins.
Quiet!
So quiet!
If the crown prince of the Snow Country was killed, it would be impossible for the Snow Country's 200,000-strong army to stand still. How could the city wall be opened for so long without any sign of fighting?
Several people immediately turned their horses and fled.
"Shoot them." Usakana ordered, and several arrows flew out from behind the city wall, piercing the backs of those people one after another.
The man fell off his horse, and the frightened army horse ran for a while and then stopped.
"There are only ten people. It seems that Wei Ming noticed something strange in the city. Even if he saw the fireworks signal, he did not bring troops over. They came to inquire about the news." Ursano's face turned red, and his eyes were full of murder when he looked at Li Yuheng. He wanted to kill the prince of Beidi Kingdom immediately.
Usakana stretched out his hand to stop the long knife he was reaching for Li Yuheng, and sneered: "It's not like we gained nothing. We destroyed five thousand soldiers and horses of the Beidi Kingdom, and even captured their prince alive. Before we attack the isolated city tomorrow, I will give him They put on a good show.”
Half an hour later, 130,000 troops returned to the isolated city.
Wei Ming stood on the city wall and never left, "Isn't he back yet?"
The subordinate shook his head heavily and replied: "No."
"Notice down and tighten the defense. Usakana will definitely attack the city tomorrow." Wei Ming clenched his palm tightly on the city wall. It was unfavorable to send troops. King Heng didn't know whether he would live or die.
At this time, Li Junche, who was in Bacheng, looked at the letter in his hand with a deep expression, and the paper was wrinkled.
This is a handwritten letter from Wen Jinhe sent by the secret guard from Nancheng.
There was another opened letter on the table, which was sent from Yuebei City.
Murong Nie stood outside the house and knocked on the door and shouted: "Your Majesty."
"Come in." Li Junche placed the letter in his hand on the candle and burned it to ashes.
When Murong Nie came in, he only saw the yellow fire burning in the charcoal basin.
Li Junche sat down, looked at Murong Nie and said, "Prince Usakana of the Snow Kingdom has led an army of 200,000 to send out troops. Now, as expected, fighting has begun on the northern border. Send the order to attack the city tomorrow."
After Murong Nie left, Li Junche meditated for a long time on his seat, picked up his pen and wrote a letter, "Go to Shuonan City and hand this letter into Su Qingli's hands."
The secret guard took the letter with both hands, opened the door and disappeared into the courtyard.
Li Junche looked at the remaining paper ashes burned in the charcoal basin, moved his eyes and looked deeply at the leafy poplar trees outside the window, feeling worried and helpless.
My little princess is a bit brave. In this case, she can only help out.
At noon the next day, Usakana led the army out of the city. There was an iron cage in front of the team. Li Yuheng's armor had been taken off, revealing a white satin underwear with deep holes cut by a knife. Red blood stains, and tears shed from worry all night.
Before half the time, darkness fell under the lonely city.
Wei Ming was standing on the city wall wearing armor and had been waiting for a long time.
The captain frowned and questioned, "General, the number is less than 200,000, and Usakana seems to have only brought half of it."
Do they look down on the lonely city and think they can break the city with only 100,000 troops?
The iron cage was dragged by a cart to the front of the Snow Kingdom army. Usakana shouted towards the city wall: "You princes, open your dog eyes and see clearly. This is the noble eldest prince of your Beidi Kingdom, King Heng." Your Highness, he is now the prisoner of this prince, worse than a dog."
Wei Ming looked at Li Yuheng who was locked in an iron cage with his hands and feet tied, his hands trembling a little.
Everyone on the city wall looked around each other, focusing all their attention on the figure standing with his head held high.
Compared with the noble King Heng, the general who has achieved countless military exploits is more trustworthy.
Wei Ming said in a deep voice: "Usakana, if you are sensible, you would let our Highness King Heng go, and I can still keep your whole body alive."
The tip of the spear in his hand was pointed at Usakana's eyebrows, and the calmness in his eyes was something that no one else had.
Anyone can cause chaos, but only the commander-in-chief cannot, otherwise the morale of the military will be in chaos.
Usakana clapped his hands ridiculously, "Arrogant, how can you, the Beidi Kingdom's small soldiers and crab generals, be able to stop our Snow Kingdom's 200,000-strong army. But I am not that unkind, if you can open the city gate and surrender. , I don’t mind sparing his life and letting him return to the capital to fulfill his filial piety in front of your Beidi Emperor.”
Wei Ming's eyes tightened, the tip of the spear was trembling, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't even think about it."
Once the city gate is opened, the more than 200,000 troops in the isolated city will surely be dead, and the people in the city will also die.
Yesterday, after Usakana invaded Yuebei City, the first thing he did was to order the people in the city to be strangled. Although there were only about a hundred people in Yuebei City, all of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, they were all unarmed and had no counterattack. The power has now turned into cold corpses.
Usakana's long knife struck the iron cage, making a harsh collision sound, "Li Yuheng, it seems that your identity as a prince is not important. You see, none of the generals of Beidi Kingdom want to save you."
Li Yuheng, who was aching all over his body, raised his head with difficulty and looked at Wei Ming who was standing on the city wall. He raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically and said, "I have said that I am not the only prince in Beidi Kingdom. No one wants to accompany you in this drama." look."
Even if he is greedy for life and power, he is still the prince of Beidi Kingdom, with a noble status, and will never bow to the enemy.
