Murong Chao sat up straight and gritted his teeth and said: "Nonsense, push out all the ballistas from the top of the city. If King Beihai doesn't disarm, shoot him. General Yue, push one over for me. I want it." Target Murong Zhen personally and never let him do anything bad!"
Han Fan opened his eyes wide: "But, if we launch the crossbow like this, not to mention whether Murong Zhen will have any ideas, the Jin army on the opposite side will see us like this..."
Murong Chao said in a deep voice: "Han Fan, are you an old fool? I mean, how many crossbows are needed to target Murong Zhen and his cronies? Just ten or eight. The Jin army doesn't know how. Are you afraid that if you push a few crossbow machines for us, you will think that we have different intentions, or should this crossbow machine be able to hit Liu Yu as far as three miles away?"
Han Fan's expression softened slightly and he nodded: "Your Majesty said that the old minister should go and handle it now. Master Yue, just in case, you'd better go down to the city gate and act according to the situation."
Yueshou curled his lips. Obviously, he was reluctant to Han Fan's proposal and turned his eyes to Murong Chao.
Murong Chao sat up straight and said: "Go, General Yue, keep an eye on Murong Zhen for me. If he messes around, just take him down. This is my will. Before the ceremony is over, I am still Dayan Emperor, this order is always valid."
He put his hand into his arms, as if he wanted to touch something. As soon as he put his hand in, he sighed: "I gave the military talisman to Princess Lan last night, but I can't give it to you now. This can only be an oral instruction, so you can do whatever you want. That's right. , met Murong Zhen and told him again to act according to the original plan without making any mistakes."
Yueshou nodded, turned around and walked downstairs. The cyan figure gradually moved away, while Han Fan saluted and walked to other locations on the city. With the assistance of several generals, he commanded several crossbow machines. Lifting off the oilcloth wrapped around their bodies, hundreds of sergeants began to push these heavy beasts from the tower behind to the crenellations.
The corners of Murong Chao's mouth curled up, and an unspeakable sneer flashed across his face. He turned to look at a crossbow machine that was being pushed towards him. He stretched out, supported himself, and stood up. , while saying to the few attendants who were about to help him get off the stick: "What are you helping me to do? Go and get the crossbow quickly. If you miss the important thing of disarming and handing over a woman, I will kill you all!"
Several servants were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they didn't even bother to salute, so they turned and ran towards the arsenal at the back. Hundreds of crossbows had been tied into bundles and piled there like straw piles. Several auxiliary soldiers were They were hurriedly untying these belts. No one expected that in today's ceremony of withdrawing and disarming, these weapons would be unsealed again. Some people were complaining in a low voice: "Even the horses of the King of the North Sea's troops were tied up." The cloth cover has not been untied, what are we doing here?"
"How many of you have the brains to dare to say such nonsense? This is an order personally issued by His Majesty!"
"Hey, stop talking and get to work quickly. Look, His Majesty got up to control the crossbow. Hey, the direction of the crossbow arm seems to be pointing towards Murong Town."
"Move quickly, hurry up, don't miss something important."
These whispers came to Murong Chao's ears, but he turned a deaf ear to it. Instead, his face was pressed against the back of the crossbow arm of a divine crossbow that had just been pushed in front of him. His eyes looked through the mountain and pointed directly at Murong Town below the city. At this time, Yueshou had also rushed over and was busy gesticulating with Murong Zhen. Murong Chao murmured to himself: "Disarm and give to a woman! Disarm and give to a woman."
Outside the city, there was a small commotion inside and outside the handsome platform. Liu Muzhi looked serious and winked at Liu Jingxuan and others under the high platform. Liu Jingxuan, Xiang Mi, and Sun Chu turned around without saying a word. They got off the stage and ran towards their respective troops.
Soon, in front of Murong Lan, more than two thousand armored soldiers held large shields, held spears, and marched in neat steps, encircling them from the left and right sides. They were less than twenty steps in front of Murong Lan. , forming a shield wall.
Behind the shield wall, there are more than five rows of armored sergeants. The cloth cover covering the blade tip has been removed. A cold light shines on the tip of the blade. An invisible murderous aura fills the whole place. Even if the evil wind just blows, There was no such formation when Daisaku and Sister Lan cut off the kunaiya with one blow.
Xiang Mi was fully armed, like a mountain of meat wrapped in iron armor, with two axes on his back. He stood in front of the shield wall with a complicated look on his face. He faced Murong Lan opposite, pressed his fist on his chest, and bowed slightly: "Princess Murong , Tieniu Military Order is with me, please forgive me."
Murong Lan sighed softly, looked back at the city, and said: "I don't blame you, Brother Tieniu. If I were you, I would make the same choice. However, please restrain your subordinates. As long as I If we still stand here, we will never allow conflicts to occur.”
Xiang Mi gritted his teeth: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will try my best to restrain my subordinates. But now, we need to protect the queen and the commander. Please understand."
Wang Miaoyin's voice sounded from the high platform, allowing everyone to hear clearly: "General Xiang, I think that I and Marshal Liu do not need the protection of the soldiers yet. You all need to step back."
Liu Muzhi's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness the Queen, this is..."
Wang Miaoyin gently raised her hand: "Liu Changshi, in order to show her sincerity for peace, Princess Murong even destroyed the Murong tribe's sacred objects with her own hands, the divine weapon and the sharp arrow Kunaiya. This is enough to prove her sincerity. As for the The matters in the city have nothing to do with her, but since the military talisman is still in Princess Murong's hands, she should be able to control the situation and we don't need to overreact."
Having said this, Wang Miaoyin paused and pointed to the city in the distance: "Besides, Liu Changshi, do you think it is possible to shoot the crossbow from the city to the handsome platform?"
Liu Muzhi nodded, and the fat on his face twitched slightly: "Her Royal Highness the Queen is more thoughtful than mediocre ministers. General Xiang, General Liu, you can withdraw your troops."
A trace of joy flashed across Xiang Mi's face. He raised his left hand high, clenched his fist in the air, shook it three times, and then suddenly spread his fingers. In the military formation behind him, there was a sound of drums and horns. Just now The array, which was still like a steel forest, immediately spread out towards the two wings, and an avenue more than fifty steps wide reappeared behind him.
Murong Lan saluted Wang Miaoyin by pressing her chest: "Thank you very much, Queen Wang, for your understanding and tolerance. The soldiers and civilians of our two countries have experienced vendettas for many years. Today, it is not easy to have this opportunity to resolve the hatred and coexist peacefully. However, with your attitude, , I think no force can stop the arrival of peace."
