Nangong Ye looked at Liu Mingzhi's suddenly serious eyes, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He knew that this junior had become red-eyed the moment he stormed the city wall.
If he didn't order the imperial army and the military guards to put down their weapons, he would really kill without hesitation.
Looking around at the devastated city wall and the densely packed corpses on the city wall, and turning his head to look at his own soldiers and horses outside the city who could not rush into the city and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Li Tao's command, Nangong Ye closed his eyes in pain.
"Let it go! Let it go! Let it go! I hope you can keep your promise and stop using weapons to kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
"Uncle, don't worry, Liu Mingzhi is by no means a murderous person. As long as the Forbidden Army and the Wuwei brothers obey my king's arrangements honestly, Liu Mingzhi will ensure that they are safe and sound."
"Brothers, listen to my order and put down your weapons!"
The Imperial Guards behind Nangong Ye looked at each other in confusion, but still did not immediately put down their weapons.
"If you want to live, put down the weapon in your hand. This is an order!"
Nangong Ye gritted his teeth and roared, hearing how sad and helpless everyone heard.
The soldiers of the Forbidden Army looked at Nangong Ye's helpless and hunched back, and slowly put the sword in their hands in front of them with a low expression.
One spreads to ten, ten spreads to a hundred, a hundred spreads to a thousand...
Until all the forbidden troops on the four walls knew Nangong Ye's order. Looking at the new army soldiers who were standing on the opposite side of the city wall, filled with evil spirits like the reincarnation of the god of death, they finally put down the weapons in their hands with a low expression.
"Tang Ru!"
"The general is here!"
"Invite the Forbidden Army brothers and the Wuwei brothers to the Lieutenant Colonel Field. All expenses will be the same as those of our army. There must be no abuse at all. Anyone who violates the order will be subject to military law!"
"Got the order!"
Tang Ru wiped the sword clean and put it in its sheath, beckoning his soldiers and horses to follow him towards the forbidden army behind Nangong Ye.
"Brothers, please!"
The imperial army looked at Tang Ru and the soldiers and horses under his command, glanced at Nangong Ye who was standing there, and walked silently towards the bottom of the city wall with his head lowered.
"Ning Chao!"
"The general is here!"
"Lead the troops under your command to clean the battlefield. As long as they are still alive, regardless of friend or foe, go all out to treat them."
"Got the order!"
"Brothers, follow me!"
"Uncle, you made a very correct decision. In fact, you don't have to blame yourself at all. This is the choice of the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army. Otherwise, if they resist to the death, I will never enter the city easily.
They themselves have no intention of stopping my army from attacking the city. If my uncle continues to insist on refusing to surrender and fight to the death with the younger generation, he will be violating the choice of the Forbidden Army brothers themselves. "
Liu Mingzhi thought of the flawless defensive methods of the Forbidden Army soldiers during today's attack on the city, and opened his mouth to comfort Nangong Ye.
After all, ordering the soldiers of the three armies to put down their weapons is a lot of pressure.
However, Liu Mingzhi's well-intentioned words of comfort sounded full of sarcasm and humiliation to Nangong Ye, who thought Liu Mingzhi was ridiculing and mocking his own generals.
"Haha... If you hadn't sent spies to poison them, causing Guan Ninghou and others to become bedridden, His Majesty had no choice but to change generals on the battlefield. Some veterans who have been idle for more than ten years are not familiar with today's offensive and defensive methods. How could you attack so easily? Enter the capital!
That’s it! If you lose, you lose. Nothing you say is of any use.
I feel ashamed of Ruizhong's entrustment on his deathbed and failed to live up to the late emperor's expectations.
As a result, the mountains and rivers collapsed, the country changed hands, and it was no longer possible to live in this world without any shame.
Liu Mingzhi, now your rebellion has been successful and the dynasty has changed. Although he enjoys supreme glory, he must also bear eternal infamy.
I'm waiting for you under the Nine Springs! "
After Nangong Ye finished speaking, the blood-stained sword in his hand suddenly wiped away his neck.
The sound of the blade entering flesh reached everyone's ears, and fresh blood slowly flowed along the blade, dripping on the dark city bricks.
Nangong Ye stared blankly at Liu Mingzhi's right hand, which was bleeding on the blade of his sword.
"You...what do you mean by this? I have failed the emperor, and even if I die to apologize, you can't stop me?"
Liu Mingzhi frowned and looked at his bleeding right hand. He raised his left hand and grabbed the handle of the knife in Nangong Ye's hand and snatched it away.
"Commander!"
"Commander!"
"Commander!"
"Back off!"
A group of generals surrounded Liu Mingzhi and Nangong Ye with their swords. Hearing Liu Mingzhi's scolding, the generals immediately stepped aside, but their eyes never left Nangong Ye, who was in a daze.
Liu Mingzhi let go of his right hand holding the blade, and the pain from his fingers to his heart made him take a few breaths.
With a clang, Liu Mingzhi threw the sword on the city wall. With sweat on his forehead, he took out a handkerchief and clenched his teeth, wrapping it around the wound on his right hand.
"Uncle, I want you to live well and see how I will bear the eternal infamy!"
"By the way, uncle, if you dare to commit suicide once, if you fail, I will massacre 10,000 people. If you commit suicide twice, I will massacre 20,000 people.
If the suicide is successful, I will massacre the city!
I hope my uncle will respect himself, otherwise I will keep my word! "
"Please get down!"
"you......."
Nangong Ye watched closely as Liu Mingzhi was carried by several soldiers towards the bottom of the city wall.
After Nangong Ye disappeared, Cheng Kai took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and walked towards Liu Mingzhi.
"Commander, please apply the golden sore medicine quickly. It won't work if the bleeding doesn't stop!"
"Okay, come and help me, my left hand is not flexible."
After a cup of tea, Liu Mingzhi applied gold sore medicine to the wound on his right hand, bandaged it again, and tried moving a few times. The coldness of the gold sore medicine made the pain in his right hand much better.
Raising his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Liu Mingzhi looked around at the generals around him.
"Which of you sent spies to poison the generals of the Forbidden Army in the city without telling me about it?"
The generals looked at each other in confusion and shook their heads blankly at Liu Mingzhi.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, none of us acted in private!"
"That's strange. The sudden change of generals on the city wall that my uncle said just proves why the defensive behavior of the Imperial Guard is so full of loopholes.
If it weren't for us, who else would dare to poison the generals of the Forbidden Army for no reason and with such courage.
And how did they break through the layers of defensive camps? "
"Commander? Could it be that Mr. Yong'an deceived us? You know the rules of the army better than anyone else. No one will deliver food to the military tent without going through the Huotou Army to test the poison.
The Huotou Army is fine, but the general is poisoned. How is this possible?
Unless there are our spies in the Huotou Army, food for the three armies is a top priority, and it is impossible to insert spies.
There is indeed a very small possibility of it happening or even succeeding, but we did not arrange for spies to poison us! "
"The general seconded the opinion. The defense is tight and there are poison-testing soldiers. How could he be poisoned like this inexplicably!
If it were so easy to succeed, our lives would have been lost long ago!
Let’s not talk about whether we can succeed or not. Once leaked, it will definitely be an endless battle!
If you can defeat the enemy with a 100% certainty and make them abandon their weapons and surrender to reduce losses, who would take the risk of provoking the enemy to fight to the death and poison them! "
Liu Mingzhi looked at the expressions of the generals for a while and knew that none of them were lying, and it was indeed not what they had hidden from him.
That's strange. My uncle is the kind of person who disdains blaming others for his dereliction of duty. As a general who has been famous for many years, he has his own dignity, otherwise he would not draw his sword to kill himself and face life and death.
"Report, Commander-in-Chief, brothers have begun to take over the four walls of the capital. The soldiers and horses under King Zhao outside the city are ready to move and are about to storm the city. Do you want to send troops to destroy them?"
Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses and watched the panting soldier raise his telescope with one hand and look around the city wall for a week, then leaned forward and looked down the city.
Looking at the soldiers and horses with the flag of Li Tao and King Zhao hanging in his original camp, Liu Mingzhi thought for a while and shook his head.
"Chu Jing, find a way to seal the city gate and ignore them!"
"Got the order!"
"Baotong, Ning Chao, and Fuji you each take over a wall of the city and wait for Baoyu to lead his troops back to the city. The rest of the troops will follow my commander to the inner city and attack the palace!"
"We have the order!"
