"Aruwin is dead!"
Xu Da and Chang Yuchun looked at each other in shock.
"Aruwin really died like what the Crown Prince said!”
Because they were far away, they didn't see Aruwin's forehead being shot. They only saw Aruwin suddenly fall from the tower.
"What is going on?" "Is it a hidden weapon?" Xu Da frowned.
However, there shouldn't be any hidden weapons that could shoot so far. Bows and arrows and firearms wouldn't work.
Or had Li Keyi already been instigated by the Crown Prince to defect? This was because Aruwin had been standing with Li Keyi. Could it be that Li Keyi had pushed Aruwin down from the tower?
If Zhu Biao could hear Xu Da's speculation, he would definitely not know whether to laugh or cry. Old Xu should really be a screenwriter. His imagination was heaven-defying!
Chang Yuchun shouted," Commander, now is not the time to think about this. This is a rare opportunity. Let's lead our brothers and charge!"”
Xu Da gathered his chaotic thoughts and nodded."Alright, you will lead 10,000 men from the 33rd and 36th Guards to attack Bianliang City. Remember, there is no need for much. The Crown Prince's plan is to force Li Keyi to surrender and take Bianliang City without bloodshed!”
Chang Yuchun was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud."Old Xu, it seems that you're starting to trust the Crown Prince. We two veterans have misjudged him. The Crown Prince is not simple!”
Xu Da smiled bitterly and shook his head. He's only thirteen years old!"
He subconsciously looked in the direction of the yellow flag.
Under the yellow flag, Zhu Biao didn't put the sniper rifle into his Dimensional Pocket. Since this thing had killed someone, it was impossible not to attract attention. Didn't he see the guards and hundreds of soldiers around him looking at the sniper rifle?
Concealing it blindly would instead cause everyone to make wild guesses.
Fortunately, there were already firearms in this era, and the Ming army was also equipped with a few firearms and general barrels. It should not be difficult for others to fool them.
The main reason was that the people from the Guards Division were beside him. They would definitely secretly report to the Emperor's father. That person was not easy to fool. However, as for how to explain it, that was something that would happen after they took down the Yuan Dynasty.
Firearms at this time were still relatively simple and crude, and it was very troublesome to load a bullet. Moreover, the range was very small, and the lethality was not great. Therefore, most soldiers still preferred to use cold weapons.
However, Zhu Biao knew that firearms would become the mainstream of war in the future. Therefore, he had to develop firearms vigorously. He could not let the Ming Dynasty repeat the mistakes of history. China's firearms would become more and more backward from the most advanced. A few hundred years later, China would be suppressed by Europe. It would lose its power and humiliate the country. It would sign a series of unfair agreements, and there would be unforgettable humiliations such as " Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter " and " Sick Man of East Asia ".
Of course, there were objective and subjective factors in the hundred years of national humiliation.
The Outsiders ruled over tens of millions of people with hundreds of thousands of people, and their hearts were originally empty. Therefore, the emperors of the Outsiders, such as Kangxi and Qianlong, who claimed to be the emperors of the past, imposed strict control and suppression on firearms. Many of the advanced firearms invented were directly destroyed before they were even released.
Therefore, the rule of foreign races and the development of firearms became a natural contradiction. The lack of firearms and the invasion of Europa became inevitable because of the arrival of the Great Voyage Era.
Therefore, in order to prevent a hundred-year national humiliation from happening, the only way was to solve it from the root. What was the root? The root of the problem was that they could not let the rule of the foreign races become a reality.
Zhu Biao instantly thought of many things, such as establishing a series of advanced systems to keep China strong forever. This was very difficult to do because from a philosophical point of view, when something flourished, it would decline. We could only try our best to prolong the time of prosperity and make this decline come later.
"Of course, an expedition to colonize Europa or return it to the Stone Age is another way!
Of course, they also had to suppress the rise of the surrounding foreign races.
"Leave behind a posthumous edict for future generations and create an order to wipe out the entire Jianzhou Jurchen Clan before they gain any power. We won't give Nurhachi's ancestors and clansmen a chance to grow stronger. We might even kill them in the cradle. This should be a good idea!”
Zhu Biao suddenly heard a deafening shout. He quickly looked up and saw that the Ming army had begun to attack the city with ladders. The catapults and general barrels beside them had also begun to exert their strength.
On the city tower, the Yuan Dynasty generals had yet to recover from the scene of Aruwin's sudden death. When they saw the Ming army begin to attack the city, they were a little flustered.
"Quick, quick, quick! The Ming army is attacking the city. Block it for me! We can't let the Ming army attack us. Arrow! Release the arrows! Shoot them!"
As the original general of Bianliang City, he naturally took over the baton when the Retired Emperor Aruwen died.
Kuter and the others hesitated for a moment, but they still carried out Li Keyi's order. However, they were still suspicious of him. They also did not understand how Aruwin died!
Therefore, they also suspected that Li Keyi was the murderer!
In addition, Li Keyi's reputation was not good. The reputation of the cowardly general who fled was also spread in private. Therefore, everyone could not help but think that without the King of Liang, could Li Keyi, this idiot, resist the attack of the Ming army?
Li Keyi's face was pale and his body was trembling. He knew how Aruwin died. Something had suddenly pierced through his head and he died instantly.
Would it be his turn next?
Moreover, there were so many Ming soldiers, probably around 100,000 to 200,000. This city…definitely could not be defended!
Chang Yuchun remembered Xu Da's warning, so it seemed like the siege was a huge one. However, they didn't attack head-on, so there were very few casualties. After attacking for about fifteen minutes, he retreated.
"Old Xu, Bianliang City is finished. We've just tested the waters. Aruwen's death has a huge impact on the morale of the Yuan army. In addition, Li Keyi doesn't know how to use troops.”Chang Yuchun wiped the blood and dirt off his face and chuckled.
Xu Da muttered,"If we can surrender, then let's surrender. This way, our losses will be smaller!" Old Chang, go and invite the Crown Prince over. Let's discuss the next step of the plan!”
Soon, Zhu Biao was invited over. Xu Da's gaze took a deep look at the sniper rifle in Zhu Biao's hand. Although he was curious, there was something more important.
"Crown Prince, what should we do next? Do you have any suggestions?”
"You guys should know how to surrender, right?" Zhu Biao wondered. Just do it the way you did before!”
Xu Da immediately ordered the army's chief registrar to write a letter of persuasion on the spot, full of emotion and sincerity, and sent it to the city tower with an arrow.
