Li Baiyu looked at the rebels who could only be beaten passively under the city wall with a look of joy on his face.
Although they were nominally soldiers under their own rule, they obeyed the orders of their brothers, who were rebels, and sent troops to attack the city to rebel against themselves.
Li Baiyu is also a human being and has already regarded the rebels as rebellious officials and traitors.
He had given them a chance. As long as they put down their weapons, bring order to the chaos, and help him quell the rebellion, they would be exempted from the death penalty.
But they were determined to go all the way to the dark side. In this case, Li Baiyu would not be sad no matter how many rebels died, because this was destined to be a fight for the throne, and it was either you or me who died.
However, Li Baiyu was destined not to be happy for long.
Jingyuan Hou Chen Jin and others made it very clear that the ice layer could only effectively stop the enemy's attack speed, but it could not stop the enemy's attack forever.
Under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers, the rebels began icebreaking operations regardless of casualties.
The auxiliary soldiers used hammers and pickaxes to build siege equipment and went into battle. The ice was broken bit by bit and moved towards the city wall.
After stepping on the iron caltrops, the rebels learned a lesson and used their shields to clean the foot-piercing weapons hidden under the snow. After half a day, facing the arrows on the city wall, the ice on the four walls was covered by the rebels.
Cleaned up completely.
The generals under several kings began to issue orders to attack the city again.
Without the barrier of ice, the rebels rushed under the city wall in the face of artillery fire in only a moment.
"The thunder stone rolls the wood, throws it."
"When pouring the golden juice, be careful not to melt the frost on the wall."
The thunder stone rolling wood was almost consumed, and after receiving Li Baiyu's order, the imperial guards had already prepared a sufficient amount of green bricks and started throwing them.
Compared with stones, blue bricks have edges and corners, which makes them more convenient to use.
The rebels, who were gaining momentum, reached the city wall and used ladders to find the second obstacle.
The ladder could not be stabilized on the battlements at all. The siege ladder that could usually be held by two people was now unable to be prevented by five or six people.
As soon as the barbed ladder touched the battlements, the guards quickly cut off the barbs hanging on the battlements. With a slight push, it tilted down the slippery wall and was paved on the ground.
Some of the rebels who were halfway up the climb were still alive, but those who were not so lucky fell to their death on the spot under the city wall.
It is impossible to attack the city wall, but there are still thousands of huge green bricks on the city wall that are not thrown down all the time.
For the first time since the rebels had been attacking the city for more than 20 days, they failed to reach the city wall and suffered heavy casualties.
The siege vehicles can approach the city wall by then, but the siege vehicles are extremely heavy and heavy, and there are only a hundred of them per wall.
However, without the help of other brothers, the rebels who jumped onto the city wall with hundreds of siege vehicles were not as outnumbered as the guards. As soon as they landed on the city wall, they were hacked to death by the soldiers of the patrol department of the guards.
The trebuchets were able to temporarily suppress the speed of the archers on the city wall, but the number of stones was limited, and the army was unable to attack the city wall. Many trebuchets were smashed to pieces by the returning stones on the city wall.
The catapult that was unfortunately hit by artillery turned into a pile of rotten wood.
After receiving the report, the Li Yunlong brothers had no choice but to leave the corpses on the ground and retreat in exchange for gold.
Looking at the rebels retreating hastily under the city wall, Li Baiyu excitedly waved the Emperor's Sword in his hand.
Today's defense of the city was the happiest I had done in more than twenty days.
The soldiers on the city wall had no chance of suffering any losses and captured a large number of rebels.
"Yue'er, the rebels have retreated, come out."
The little cutie poked her head out from under Cuiyun's cloak and looked curiously outside the city.
"Uncle, why did they give up the siege so quickly today?"
Li Baiyu looked at the little cutie excitedly: "Yue'er, this is all your fault. I really don't know how to thank you."
The little cutie nodded with a smile: "I want to eat fresh sauced beef, but the food I have eaten these days is too bland."
“The soy sauce beef is okay, it’s fresh”
Li Baiyu looked hesitant, and finally gritted his teeth: "Fresh soy sauce beef, fresh soy sauce beef."
Li Baiyu made a few gestures, and a man in gray robe flew down.
"Old Li Jia is here to see His Majesty."
Li Baiyu looked around secretly: "Senior Li Jia, try to kill a cow and ask the imperial chef to make a fresh meal of beef with sauce and bring it to Yue'er. Don't let anyone see it."
"It's hard for me to explain it to the Yushi Yanguan."
Li Jia glanced at Li Baiyu strangely, and then focused on the little cutie. It was not easy for Dalong to kill live cattle. Every cow was the biggest contributor to the cultivated land. The government had records to record the status of the cattle.
.
Li Baiyu actually violated the rules set by Emperor Taizu Gao in order to satisfy the little cutie's verbal desires, which was beyond Li Jia's expectations.
Seeing the little cutie licking her lips and swallowing saliva, Li Jia nodded helplessly.
"I'll take my leave."
"Yue'er, you can eat it after a while."
"Yeah, yeah, thank you uncle, we will eat together later."
"Yue'er is so good, you should be my daughter"
Li Baiyu paused and glanced at the little cutie with strange eyes: "Yue'er, uncle, can I ask you a question?"
"Uncle, what's the problem?"
Li Baiyu looked a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he slowly squatted down in front of the little cutie, carefully looking at the little cutie's delicate face that inherited the empress's beauty.
"Do you want to marry Dalong and become his next queen?"
The little cutie looked at Li Baiyu blankly: "Why did Yue'er marry Dalong and become Dalong's queen?"
Li Baiyu's face tightened, and he looked a little embarrassed. You can't say that your uncle is interested in your intelligence and wants you to be my son's good wife.
"Forehead"
"Forehead"
"Because your uncle's daughter and one of your cousins is going to marry your brother Liu Chengzhi as your bride, you can also marry your uncle's son as your bride."
"This way we can get closer and closer."
Li Baiyu himself felt a little blushing for coaxing a little girl under ten years old like this.
But when I think about it, if this thing really comes to pass, the benefits will be immeasurable.
Yue'er is the only heir to the Kingdom of Jin. If she marries her son, wouldn't it be possible to subdue the Kingdom of Jin into the Great Dragon without any bloodshed?
While the little cutie is still underage and still ignorant about the love between a man and a woman, it is simply unreasonable not to take action at this time.
It is perfect for such a smart girl to become her son's queen.
Moreover, their identities are equal and they are well-matched.
It's just that Li Baiyu has some doubts about whether his son will be able to suppress this evil little girl in the future.
The little cutie tilted her head and looked at Li Baiyu: "When you marry Dalong, does that mean you are marrying someone else?"
"Well, getting married doesn't count as marriage."
When Li Baiyu said this, his eyes were a little dodgey.
"Yue'er has never thought about getting married. Yue'er wants to stay with daddy all the time."
"Yue'er, you heard my uncle say that men should marry when they are young and women should marry when they are young. This is human nature. Your father loves you so much, how could he let you die alone?"
"One day in the future you will get married sooner or later and leave your father!"
The cute little girl pursed her pink lips and snorted at Li Baiyu with mist in her eyes. She then raised her little foot and kicked Li Baiyu's instep hard and walked towards the tower.
"Dad also makes mistakes sometimes, saying that only the uncle is the one to blame and not the uncle to blame."
