A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 909 City Gate Proclamation
——At the north gate of Wancheng, Nanyang County, under the city gate tower.

The leader of the Northern Zhou soldiers who were blocking the moat of Nanyang was indeed the King of Heyin.

He wore a black shirt with red sleeves, while his subordinates were all in white robes.

The Tangut Khan's guards on the city walls were also dressed in white.

The Dangxiang Bailang people have always revered the color white. The Bailang Kingdom, the predecessor of Bailang, even called itself the "Great White Kingdom". The eight Dangxiang tribes were in disgrace in the past because they had not yet avenged their great hatred.

Now the young Khan had entered the tiger's den and killed the special envoy of the prime minister, who had a deep hatred for him. This was equivalent to pulling out the tiger's whiskers in front of the prime minister, and he was very proud of himself. The Dangxiang were invincible in the Central Plains and were in full swing, so they naturally wanted to show off their self-respect.

The Northern Zhou Heyin King under the city hit the nail on the head. He raised his horse whip in front of the battle line, pointed at the young man in white armor on the tower, and introduced him to his subordinates with a sneer on his face:

Did you see the white-haired boy on the city gate? He is the ungrateful bastard Tuoba Ningcong! He usurped the throne and became the Khan of the Tanguts. Now he has imprisoned the ruler of Huaxu and wants to call himself the King of Tanguts!
At this point, the Prince of Heyin, who was sitting on horseback, turned around and asked his soldiers: "You are all my brothers in life and death, Yuan Zizhu, and you are also the soldiers of the Yuan family. Now that the Western Wei Dynasty is gone, the only daughter of the Yuan family empress, my niece, has been captured by Tuoba Ningcong and is imprisoned in the city. What should we do?"

The Yuan family soldiers were instantly excited: "What else is there to say? Attack the city and save the only one left in the Yuan family!"

The few words of incitement by Prince Heyin hit the weak spot of the Yuan family soldiers under the city, and it was the right remedy.

To the new Dangxiang king on the city wall, every word was heart-wrenching, and the fact that the Yuan family soldiers came to rescue the Yuan family princess was a fatal blow.

Tuoba Ningcong, the new king of the Dangxiang on the city wall, felt sad and blamed himself for only a moment, then he suppressed the influence of his personal feelings, restored his arrogant look, and responded in a condescending voice - he despised them for wanting to emulate Chen Qianzhi, and that thousands of troops avoided the white robes, and that they were probably trying to pass themselves off as the real ones by crossing the river in white.

The King of Heyin immediately raised his voice to retort: ​​He is a traitor and an ungrateful person. He crossed the river in white clothes and came to the Central Plains. He not only betrayed the governor of Xiangyang who opened the door to their Dangxiang, but also betrayed the oath of Luoshui, deceived the Lord of Huaxu, and imprisoned the only seedling of the Yuan family, his former master!
Although he is not following the imperial edict to fight the rebels now, he is still raising the banner of rebellion and following the will of heaven and the people to fight against him.

Wan Yuwu Yu finally understood. It turned out that what he had just said was a mobilization manifesto before the war?

The King of Heyin was like an old fox, and his words were sharp and to the point.

This was the first time that Tuoba Ningcong and Yuan Zizhu used the forces behind them to engage in a head-on confrontation in front of the enemy.

On the Zhou side, Yuan Zizhu held high the "Yuan" flag and led the Yuan family soldiers, claiming that they were attacking the city in order to rescue the Yuan family's only daughter, the Crown Princess.

The Dangxiang King Wan Yuwu Yu on this side had never been good at speaking, and at this time he was led astray by Yuan Zizhu's public opinion. Knowing that his explanation was useless, he simply started fighting.

The Dangxiang Qiang soldiers were already quite experienced in defending cities. In addition, when they were in Heishui City, they also learned a lot of flexible city defending skills from Prince Huaxu of the Han people.

The city of Nanyang County had gone through thousands of years of city-state struggles and had long been built to be easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, the Zhou soldiers who broke through the moat and rushed to the city were quickly driven out of the moat a hundred or eighty steps away.

The leader of the palace soldiers, Prince Heyin, was naturally indignant, so he took out a precious carved bow and gold-covered arrows from his back, and while still far away from the city gate, he shot an arrow and shot down the Dangxiang flag planted on the city gate tower!

After two arrows, he shot down the royal flag of "Tuoba Ningcong" that was originally lined up with the Tangut flag! And his third arrow actually tied the Zhou army flag to the steel head and shot it onto their flagpole!

The arrows shot by Heyin Prince Yuan Zizhu almost broke the morale of the Dangxiang people, who were famous for their archery and crossbow skills. But with the Dangxiang Khan in charge, he immediately waved his hand and asked his subordinates to take down the Zhou flag and raise their own flag, while he picked up the crossbow of the guard beside him and aimed at Heyin Prince from above.

But the King of Heyin, dressed in black and red military sleeves, flashed past his sight and disappeared.

At the same time, while the Dangxiang people were trying to take down the flag, Yuan Zizhu shot another arrow and threw the flying claw onto the Zhou city wall, and he led the selected agile guards to climb the city wall!
After all, the Han people's theory of the four great military merits was fully practiced by the Yuan family when the Tuoba tribe entered the Pass, and being the first to land and seize the flag was a compulsory course for the Yuan family.

The enemy is at the gates and dark clouds are gathering in the sky.

Nanyang is too big, and its subordinate areas such as Wancheng are all interconnected. There are many city gates, and it is not impregnable. The Zhou State is attacking from all the city gates, and it is difficult for Wan Yuwu to take care of all the fortresses at once.

Therefore, in order to protect the palace and his beloved inside, Wan Yuwu had to temporarily give up the north gate of Wancheng and leave it to Yuan Zizhuo.

Just when the young Dangxiang King in white robe and silver armor retreated to the outside of the city gate of the main urban area where the anti-epidemic palace was located, he turned back inadvertently and found that his sweetheart had come out of the palace and was running towards a black-clad general riding a white horse!
Wan Yuwu took a closer look and the man riding the white horse looked more and more like the King of Heyin who was just under the city. There were two guards in black clothes and golden armor beside him, and they were obviously people from Zhou.

Wasn't Yuan Zizhu attacking Wancheng? How did he sneak in and get to the gate of his old nest?
But Wan Yuwu had no chance to think about it, because his sweetheart had been pulled onto the horse by that man and was about to leave with his enemy!
The young Khan flew into a rage and urged his horse forward, just in time to see the girl being pulled to the back seat of the saddle by her uncle. As soon as she sat firmly, the old and frivolous King Heyin took her hand and put it on his waist.

Wan Yuwuyu's pupils instantly filled with blood, and he shouted sternly: "Come back!"

The uncle and nephew looked in the direction of the sound and saw the Silver-Armored Khan running towards them, only a few feet away.

Yuan Wuyou naturally heard what Wan Yuwuyu said.

She nervously subconsciously stretched out her arms and hugged her uncle's waist tightly. Then she realized sadly that she was now instinctively breaking into a cold sweat due to Wan Yuwu's harsh commands.

She immediately stretched her neck and raised her voice to him:

"Khan, you don't have to see me off. I'm well now and I still have things to do. Let's each do our own thing."

After saying this, Yuan Wuyou realized that his hugging his uncle was too offensive, and he withdrew his hand immediately.

As soon as she left his thin waist covered by armor, Yuan Zizhu in front of her held her wrist, put her hand on his waist, and ordered with a click of the tongue:
"Why are you pretending with your uncle? Hold on tight, don't fall down."

Wan Yuwu, who was only a few steps away from catching up, saw at a glance that Yuan Zizhuo forced the girl to put her arms around his waist and took the opportunity to touch her hand.

The young Khan suddenly roared:

"Don't let him touch you!"

Yuan Wuyou was frightened by him, and subconsciously wanted to smile and appease the bared wolf king, but suddenly realized that he had escaped from his clutches, and sitting in front of him was his uncle who was as ferocious as he was.
