"A lobbyist from Juzhou City?"
Looking at the middle-aged man in his thirties or forties in front of him, the corners of Zhu Youqi's mouth curled up slightly. He smiled indifferently and said,""The arrow is already on the bowstring, and you're still here to lobby? What did you do earlier?"
"No, I can't! I'm not here to lobby!"
The middle-aged man in his 30s or 40s was the advisor of Commander Liu Dezhi.
At this moment, the aide had a stern expression as he said in a clear voice,"I am here to advise Prince Heng not to go further and further on the path of rebellion!”
"Conspiracy?"
Zhu Youqi was stunned and couldn't help but laugh. He asked,""Hehe, are you saying that this king is plotting a rebellion?”
"That's right!"
The aide flung his sleeves and said," Your Highness, as a vassal king, you have a strong army. Now, you dare to besiege another city. If this isn't treason, what is it? Could it be that Your Highness has already thrown the Imperial Ancestral Instruction to the back of your mind?”
"Oh?"
Zhu Youqi dug his ears, not frightened by the advisor's words.
He looked at the aide with a smile and said indifferently,""Your words are reasonable and well-founded. If this king was timid, I'm afraid I would be frightened by your words.”
"What a pity,"
"I'm not afraid of this!" Zhu Youyou said with a smile.”
"Moreover, this Prince did not come to Ju Prefecture to rebel! Instead, we're here to purge the traitors!"
"Cheating?"
Hearing this, the aide's heart skipped a beat. Could it be…
"Not long ago,"
"I led my troops to attack Linzi County and intercepted a few letters. One of them was a letter from Commander Liu Dezhi. This time, this king came to Juzhou to punish the crafty sycophants and eliminate the traitors!”
"This king will give you one last warning. Surrender immediately within an hour.
If they continue to resist, this king will personally lead the army into the city to eliminate the traitors!”
"Send the guests out!"
As he spoke, Zhu Youqi waved his hand.
The advisor beside him was completely stunned.
He had never thought that Prince Heng, Zhu Youyou, who was a vassal king, would be so shameless. He actually gave such a reason!
Eliminate traitors?
How ridiculous!
Wasn't this the excuse that the commander and the others used in the past?
However, at this moment, the advisor could not say anything else.
After leaving the 3rd division camp, the advisor returned to Juzhou City without stopping.
As soon as they returned to Juzhou City, Commander Liu Dezhi hurriedly went forward and asked,"How is it? Were King Heng's troops outside the city frightened? Are they retreating or not?"
"Commander,"
The aide smiled bitterly and shook his head.""The army outside the city is personally led by Prince Heng.”
"Ah?"
Commander Liu Dezhi was shocked." His Highness Prince Heng came personally?”
"Yes!"
The aide nodded." His Highness Prince Heng wasn't scared. Instead, he said that he wanted to enter the city to purge the traitors and capture you, Commander!" He said that you, commander, are having an affair with the Tartars!”
"What?"
Hearing this, Commander Liu Dezhi's expression was uncertain.
"He actually made a countercharge?"
"So, King Heng's army is still going to enter the city!" Liu Dezhi's expression changed drastically.”
"Yes, Commander!"
Looking at Commander Liu Dezhi, the aide asked,""What should we do now? Prince Heng has given us an hour. If we don't surrender after an hour, they will attack the city!”
"Attack the city?"
Commander Liu Dezhi stood up and said,"You're really bullying me
There was no one left in Juzhou City! Immediately gather the entire army and defend the city!”
"As long as we can hold on for three days, when there is news from Dong Ping Bo, we will be saved!”
"King Heng has an army of his own and is a traitor. His crime is unforgivable! When the army of Count of Dong Ping arrives and puts down Prince Heng's rebellion, all the counties in Shandong will be our territory!”
"At that time, those who have made contributions will be rewarded generously!”
"Defend Ju Prefecture City, everyone will be promoted by three ranks!”
Commander Liu Dezhi directly offered a reward. He hoped to use this to boost the morale of the soldiers in the city and defend Ju Prefecture City.
Under Liu Dezhi's encouragement, the soldiers in Ju Prefecture City were indeed like they had been injected with chicken blood. Their morale surged, and they stood on the city walls with high morale.
……
Looking at the situation on the distant walls of Ju Province, Zhu You Xin smiled, not too surprised.
He seemed to have predicted that the guards in Juzhou City would put up a stubborn resistance.
After all, no one in power would willingly give up the power in their hands. Since ancient times, it had always been like this!
Liu Dezhi was naturally no exception!
"Wang Xiaoliang, start the siege!"
Zhu Youqi ordered indifferently.
"Yes, sir!"
Wang Xiaoliang replied.
Immediately, he ordered the three divisions of the new army to start attacking.
In an instant, the black mass of soldiers from the three divisions charged towards Ju Prefecture City.
It looked messy, but in fact, it had undergone strict training.
When the soldiers of the three divisions arrived at the edge of Ju Prefecture City, a regiment commander hurriedly shouted,"Archers! Suppress!"
Following the command of the regiment commander, the archers lined up in a neat row. They held their bows and aimed at the distant Ju Prefecture City.
"Release!"
the order
One arrow after another shot through the air.
A dense rain of arrows rained down on the walls of Ju Prefecture.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The rain of arrows landed on the city walls. Some of the defending soldiers who had yet to react were directly hit by the rain of arrows and died on the spot.
The remaining soldiers hid behind the battlements to avoid the arrows.
At this moment, in the wilderness outside Ju Prefecture City, the soldiers of the three divisions continued to charge towards Ju Prefecture City under the cover of the rain of arrows.
"Hurry!"
"Bridge!" a Battalion Commander shouted in a deep voice. Build a bridge!"
Immediately, a squad of soldiers crossed the moat and lowered the drawbridge.
The drawbridge was lowered, and the soldiers of the three divisions at the back all crossed the moat. The tall siege ladders were also erected on the city walls.
"Hurry!"
"Climb up!" the Battalion Commander shouted in a deep voice. Quickly crawl!"
In the distance, a dense rain of arrows was still shooting towards them.
The soldiers of the three divisions were not equipped with new weapons like the special forces.
However, the soldiers of the three divisions who adopted the new tactics were equipped with many archers and musketeers. Moreover, these archers and musketeers all used three-stage shooting to make up for the lack of firing speed.
Coupled with the harsh training, even if their weapons and equipment were relatively backward, their strength was not weak!
Under the continuous firing of the archers, the soldiers of the three divisions near Juzhou City climbed up the siege ladders and climbed up the city walls.
This scene shocked Commander Liu Dezhi, who was on the city wall.
"Why are these soldiers of King Heng's army so powerful?”
Liu Dezhi only sighed and quickly woke up.
He knew that if he didn't act now, Ju Province would be destroyed.
The city would be in danger!
"Hurry!"
"Stop them!" Liu Dezhi shouted loudly. Stop them!"
