Chapter 433 Siege Battle
Feng Yang and his men, however, fought with increasing ferocity, charging into the street and leaving a trail of corpses and rivers of blood in the blink of an eye!
At the same time, at the north gate of the Tiansheng Imperial City.
Emperor Beizun, who was standing on his horse, looked up slightly at the group of people standing on the city wall. By the bright firelight, he could vaguely see that the people on the city wall were Emperor Tiansheng and his court officials.
"This imperial city looks like it's been reinforced at least four or five meters high. If you don't have enough skill, it'll be difficult to even throw a hook up there. How are you going to get up there? You definitely can't throw a rope up there. Your Thunderbolt Hand should have some martial arts skills, right?"
The Minister of Works beside Emperor Beizun gazed at the magnificent city gate before him, which was even more imposing and majestic than the imperial city of their Great Yong Dynasty. The dense array of arrow towers on both sides also exerted an invisible pressure on the people.
"Furthermore, do you think the Heavenly Emperor will come out of the city to fight? Does he really want to turn such a beautiful city into ruins? It seems like such a waste."
Lord Sikong raised an eyebrow, looked at the magnificent city before him, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Di Beizun also looked up and followed her gaze, saying calmly, "Our Great Zhou has no fewer than ten cities more magnificent than this. What's there to regret?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Sikong rolled his eyes. "Your Majesty, I know that your Great Zhou is very prosperous, but have you ever thought that if we conquer this city, it will become your domain? Don't you want to possess such a magnificent city directly, instead of a ruin?"
"As long as they are willing to submit to me, I don't care what they do."
Emperor Beizun gave this indifferent reply.
Lord Sikong shrugged, took out a telescope from his sleeve, and looked up at the city tower. He examined it for a while, then suddenly frowned. After checking again for a moment, he turned to Emperor Beizun and asked in confusion, "I didn't see Tuoba Yu. Your Majesty, could he really have been killed by your palm strike?"
Shouldn't he be on the city wall at this time?
In the entire Tiansheng, the only person that Sikong Jin could take notice of was Tuoba Yu. He did have some real talent and learning. When she worked with him, she was amazed by his talent and strategy. However, Tuoba Yu was talented, but after meeting Emperor Beizun, he became somewhat overshadowed. He and Xifeng Lie were both opponents that Sikong Jin could compete with.
The west wind is fierce...
I wonder if this guy has already returned to the Great Liao. With what she gave him, they should have no problem going back. I just wonder if Di Beizun would be so angry that he would chop her up with one palm if he knew that she gave the Phoenix Jade directly to Xi Fenglie and deliberately let him go!
As soon as Lord Sikong finished speaking, he was so busy thinking about Xifeng Lie that he didn't notice that His Majesty's face had darkened instantly.
Are you disappointed that you didn't see him?
In the night breeze, the calm and gentle voice of the young Northern Emperor slowly drifted over. However, Sikong Mo, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but shiver slightly as he listened. Yet, Lord Sikong was completely unaware of it, and even less aware of the layer of frost that had settled on the cold and peerless face of the Northern Emperor.
Lord Sikong tucked the clairvoyant device into his sleeve and replied calmly, "Of course I'm very disappointed. Tuoba Yu said that if I ever came to their Tiansheng Imperial City, he would definitely treat me well, serving me the best wine and meat, and I could take whatever treasures I wanted, like gold and silver..."
At this point, Lord Sikong suddenly sighed softly, "Unexpectedly, they came this time, but they came directly to attack. Thinking about it, it's really a bit..."
I don't know if we'll ever have the chance to drink together again. I haven't seen him since we parted ways that time, and what Xifenglie said...
As soon as Lord Sikong finished speaking, Emperor Beizun's handsome face darkened even more. He narrowed his unfathomable eyes and glanced at Lord Sikong. "How could I possibly skimp on the benefits for you? Once I conquer it, I'll give them all to you!"
After uttering these words, Emperor Beizun suddenly issued a command—
"Siege!"
At Emperor Beizun's command, the troops began to form ranks.
The Thunderclap Battle Formation led the way, followed by the Wind Riders, and behind them were hundreds of thousands of well-equipped troops and various siege weapons.
Amidst the countless blazing torches, the glint of blades flashed, casting chilling light. Horses began to neigh, and the main force slowly approached the Heavenly Holy Imperial City.
Meanwhile, Emperor Tian Sheng and his ministers on the city tower were greatly alarmed by Emperor Bei Zun's imposing aura.
"Your Majesty, approaching from the front is His Majesty the Northern Emperor's Thunderclap Battle Formation. The Thunderclap Bombs they wield are the Northern Emperor's latest weapon, possessing immense destructive power. Although they resemble firecrackers, their power far surpasses that of firecrackers. During the Battle of Yingzhou City, His Highness the Crown Prince and Crown Prince Xifeng suffered losses due to these powerful weapons. Furthermore, the Northern Emperor's Legion is even stronger than Xifeng Lie's Eagle Division, displaying exceptional bravery and skill in battle!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we must be cautious. Back then, in the Battle of Hangu Pass, Sikong Jin relied on the 200,000 soldiers of the Third Army of the Northern Army to turn defeat into victory and defeat the hundreds of thousands of fierce troops of Ge Su. Now, the people below include those 200,000 troops!"
Speaking of Emperor Beizun's Thunderclap Battle Formation and the formidable Emperor Bei Legion, the expressions of all the court officials of Tiansheng changed drastically. Even the still somewhat handsome face of the Tiansheng Emperor showed a hint of solemnity. Looking at the Great Zhou soldiers slowly approaching below and beginning their challenge, the chill in his eyes intensified. Just as he was about to order his troops to leave the city and meet the enemy, a report suddenly came from below—
"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened! Your Majesty!"
"South Gate! The South Gate has been breached! Prince Wei has rebelled! He has joined forces with over 200,000 Great Zhou troops outside the city and is attacking through the South Gate. His Highness the Crown Prince is sending his personal guards to resist them, but their attack is fierce. His Highness's mere tens of thousands of troops are unlikely to withstand it!"
The scout finished speaking in a panic, and the surrounding air pressure suddenly dropped! He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe!
"What did you say? You said the King of Wei has rebelled? The south gate has been breached?"
Emperor Tian Sheng stepped forward in disbelief, grabbed the scout by the collar, and asked coldly.
The scout trembled with fear. "Yes...yes, Your Majesty...His Highness the Crown Prince sent me to request reinforcements, otherwise it will be too late! Hundreds of thousands of their troops are heading towards the palace, and His Highness's side probably can't hold them off!"
