Chapter 824: Sworn, to the palace gates
Xiao Tianyao has never been a soft-hearted person, since he chose to go to war, he will not hesitate, nor will he show mercy. Under his command, the Jinwuwei Army attacked the city gate one after another with a brave attitude.
Facing wave after wave of siege, the general defending the city could no longer maintain his composure: "If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend for a day!" The Jinwuwei Army was too strong, so powerful that he was afraid!
"The Jinwuwei Army's fighting power is already strong, and with the help of black iron armor, we are not their opponents at all." Fortunately, the Jinwuwei Army gave them a day to prepare, otherwise, they'll fail to fight even for half a day.
Of course, the difficulty was only temporary. Ever since the court knew that Xiao Tianyao led troops into the capital, the Ministry of War has made preparations. As long as the Ministry of War was given an hour, they can transfer all the weapons and personnel to the front line to resist the Jinwuwei Army.
So, Prince Xiao seemed to give them a day to prepare, but it was useless because they had already prepared.
"General, does the emperor have an explanation? Xiao Wangye hasn't made a move yet. Once Xiao Wangye makes a move, we will only have to open the city gate." The lieutenant was in a panic and wished he could go down and open the city gate to welcome Prince Xiao into the city.
Facing Prince Xiao and the Jinwuwei Army, they have no chance of winning at all. Instead of struggling to support them, it was better to open the city gate, to save a few people from dying.
"Where is the emperor…" The general guarding the city just opened his mouth, when he heard a majestic voice descending from the sky: "The traitor is so courageous, hurry up and put down your weapons and catch him without a fight."
"This is?" The general guarding the city's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look behind him, only to see an old man in gray flying towards the city wall in a thunderous manner.
"It's the lord who guards the gate of the palace! That's great, we will be able to resist for a while when the lord comes." Although the general guarding the city had never met these two guards, they knew their reputations.
The lord who guarded the palace gate in the east was a Martial God. He was also the number one martial art master in the East and was even known to the world. However, it was inappropriate for this number one master to appear right now.
The old man flew over with the cold wind, stood on the city wall, without looking at the general behind him, and condescendingly looked down at Xiao Tianyao who was under the city wall. He frowned and reprimanded: "Young son of the late emperor, why did you rebel?"
"Benwang is fighting for his innocence!" Facing the old man, Xiao Tianyao didn't even show the slightest fear.
Not to mention now, even in the past, he was not afraid of this Martial God. Many Martial Gods died at his hands, and he didn't mind killing one more.
"Absurd, you lead troops to attack the city, how can you be innocent."
"Benwang's innocence needs to be washed away with blood." Xiao Tianyao raised his eyes coldly, glanced at the old man with sharp eyes, and said unhurriedly: "Your Excellency, you can either shoot or get out of here. Benwang can treat it as if you didn't come here." In this world where strength was paramount, strength means everything.
If he can't beat the old man guarding the palace gate or the soldiers and horses of the court, even if he was innocent, it was useless. On the contrary, his strength surpasses everything else, even if he rebels, no one dares to say anything.
History was written by the victors; similarly, public opinion was also in the hands of the strong, and the weak have no right to speak out and cannot speak out.
"You… Presumptuous!" The old man flushed with anger as if he had been greatly insulted.
"You are not benwang's opponent!" Xiao Tianyao acted as if he didn't see it, and he gave the old man another slap in the face, forcing the old man to step down: "What an arrogant boy, I have to take a good look today, how strong you are! "
"Huh…" The old man flew down the city wall, with a lot of energy, and the Jinwuwei Army under the city wall retreated repeatedly.
"What kind of martial arts master is bullying the weak?" Xiao Tianyao looked disdainful, jumped into the air without any external force, stretched out his right leg in midair, and kicked the old man's heart.
Xiao Tianyao's move was simple. His speed was not fast, but for some reason, the old man seemed unable to dodge and was kicked by Xiao Tianyao.
With a sound of *Boom*, the old man fell straight from midair to the ground like a kite with a broken string and even bounced half a meter because of strength.
"This, how is this possible?" The soldiers on the city wall were shocked when they saw this scene.
The old man was a martial god, the number one master in the east, why can't he even counterattack Prince Xiao's move?
"Help him up, it's good to treat others well." After kicking someone, Xiao Tianyao turned around in midair, and sat back on the horse gracefully, without blushing. As if he was not the person who kick the other party.
"No, no… no, you can't be so strong." The old man was helped up by the Jinwuwei Army. He spat out a mouthful of blood when he opened his mouth, speaking intermittently.
"The facts are in front of everyone, benwang is innocent!" Xiao Tianyao caressed the wrench on his left thumb with a calm expression.
"You, you traitor, you will die!" The old man simply cannot accept being defeated by a young man, let alone suffer such a miserable defeat.
"You will die, but benwang will continue to live." Xiao Tianyao raised his hand, signaling the Jinwuwei Army to drag him down.
He doesn't have the time to reason with an old man. So what if he convinces the old man? Can the old man help him?
He can't!
So, there was no need to waste time.
"Continue to attack the city. Before dawn tomorrow, benwang wants to see you entering the city!" Without giving the imperial soldiers and horses time to recover, Xiao Tianyao gave the order to continue the attack.
"Yes!" Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, resounding over the capital, not to mention the general guarding the city, even the ordinary people in the city could hear it. They knew that Prince Xiao was about to attack!
However, the people in the capital were not panicking. For them, whether the Emperor defeated Prince Xiao or Prince Xiao defeated the Emperor, it was the same, they were all from the royal family of the East.
As long as the South, the West, and the North don't attack the imperial city, whether the Emperor will be the elder brother or the younger brother, it will not affect their lives.
The violent and bloody siege battle kicked off again. At this moment, the Jinwuwei Army seemed to be on the verge of chicken blood. They rushed forward one by one, and the giant logs in their hands slammed into the city gate.
"General, what should we do now?" Unlike the Jinwuwei Army's high fighting spirit, the soldiers of the imperial court were like eggplants beaten by cold. Each of them went limp. They don't dare to fight at all.
Without reinforcements, and even the martial god in the palace has been defeated by Prince Xiao, do they still have a chance of winning?
"Defend the city gate to the death!" The general guarding the city knew that they had no chance of winning this battle, but they could not surrender. If they dared to surrender and open the city gate to welcome Prince Xiao into the city, the emperor would never let their family members go.
A skinny camel was bigger than a horse. The Emperor may not be the opponent of Prince Xiao, but dealing with them was as easy as crushing an ant.
"But, but…" The lieutenant general looked at the high-spirited Jinwuwei Army. He couldn't help but shed tears.
