Chapter 212 Lobbying Offensive
The Eighth Prince was completely overwhelmed by this earth-shattering news. It took him decades to raise his strength to the peak of the emperor level, and Tie Yan said that there is such a place that can make an emperor-level master within two years. How could he not be shocked by the news of becoming a respectable powerhouse!
"Someone is here, my lord, think about it carefully, no matter what decision you make, I will respect your choice!" After speaking, Tie Yan disappeared into the void strangely, as if this person had never existed before.

"Eighth Prince, I already know the news of the enemy's attack." Helian Wencheng, who was called by Luosang, walked into the hall and sat down, and said.

The Eighth Prince was still immersed in the shocking news just now, and Helian Wencheng sat down and had a sip of tea before he came back to his senses, and quickly pulled out a smiley face that didn't actually smile.After all, Helian Wencheng still has 20 troops in the city, so he had to put on a friendly face and said, "That's right, the gates of the four sides of the city have been invaded, it's probably the enemy's cover-up, I'll ask someone to inquire about the details again." Reported."

On the tower of Dongcheng, the general defending the city of Dongsang Kingdom stood tall, the armor on his body reflected the dazzling sunlight, and stared at the enemy army in front of the tower.

Seeing that the enemy army pressed down 300 meters away from the tower, they stopped in an orderly manner and adjusted the team very neatly.The ground and the city wall, which had been trembling slightly under the iron hooves of the army, also stopped, and the murderous aura that rolled over them disappeared a lot, which relieved the sweaty soldiers on the tower, but their hearts were still tense, because The invisible army under the city tower was enough to make them tremble with fear.

Except for the generals of the entire army, no one in the army spoke. They pointed the long halberds in their hands obliquely to the sky. The sunlight reflected from the densely packed halberd blades dazzled the defenders on the tower, and their hearts jumped even more. non-stop.

"What the hell are they doing?" the general on the tower asked coldly, frowning when he saw the large number of enemy troops below adjusting their ranks into order.

"I don't know." Joining the army beside him also shook his head, unable to figure out what kind of medicine was buried in the enemy's gourd, and said cautiously: "It must be that the visitor is not kind, so we must be careful in dealing with it."

Below the gate tower, a path was suddenly opened in the army formation, and a group of people rushed towards the gate tower. The general hurriedly shouted: "Archers, stone throwers, get ready!"

As soon as the order was given, a sharp arrow appeared on each arrow window of the city tower, and several rows of catapult bandages lined up in the rear were also rattled and entered a state of preparation for battle.

Unexpectedly, the troop galloped out by the enemy did not appear to be attacking at all, but more than two hundred cavalry, each riding a team of tall horses, stopped after rushing to a distance of 200 meters, and did not continue to advance.

The bows and arrows issued by the archers of the city defenders can only be shot at a distance of 200 meters, which is just right for people to be separated from the city tower. At 200 meters, the strength was almost eliminated, and they couldn't penetrate the enemy's armor at all, so they didn't dare to shoot.

"Find out your generals, I have something to say!" In the team 200 meters away from the city tower were Lang Ya, Cheng Sheng and several generals from the Dongsang Kingdom, and the other team were all protecting them.One of the generals swayed towards the tower with a voice of fighting spirit, which could be heard clearly within a radius of five miles.

This point must be grasped well, it was Cheng Cheng's order.Therefore, the speaker is also a master of fighting the emperor, and he must use a strong enough voice to break the heartstrings of the enemy soldiers.

The general who defended the city narrowed his eyes. Hearing how loud the voice was, the soldiers at the Doushi level were shocked. They did not want to be inferior, and said loudly: "I am Qi Liang, the general who defends the city. What can you say?" ?”

Still an emperor-level master, it seems that he has met his opponent, the general beside Lang Ya continued to shout: "Prince Lang Ya is here, why don't you hurry up and open the city gate to welcome the return of His Royal Highness!"

The general guarding the city, Qi Liang, was startled suddenly. He tried his best to see if there was Prince Lang Ya among the crowd, and laughed loudly, "You think I'm going to be fooled by you, even if you dare to bring it here to make a fool of yourself?" ?"

"Qi Liang, don't you recognize this prince?" Although Lang Ya's strength is still at the peak of the Doujun, the majesty of the king in his voice is not at all shocking or more devastating than the words of an emperor-level master. Heartstrings.

"Ah, it's Prince Lang Ya!"

"It's really His Royal Highness!"

There was an uproar on the top of the city tower, and everyone was moved by Lang Ya's strong return, and everyone had different expressions.

"His Royal Highness, please forgive me for not being able to open the city gate for you." Seeing the commotion on the tower, Qi Liang hurriedly shouted, suppressing everyone's voices.

"Qi Liang, don't blind yourself to good and evil. The reason why His Highness the Crown Prince didn't launch an army attack is because he didn't want to cause a river of blood to Dongsang. His Highness loves the country and the people, and he doesn't want an unnecessary sacrifice for a soldier. If you don't open Welcome at the city gate, the army presses in, the tower will be destroyed, and the blood will flow like a river." The general beside Lang Ya took the mouth, flattered Lang Ya, and made a bad news for the soldiers on the tower.

"Qi Liang, maybe you have deviated from my understanding of me. No one in Dongsang knows about my personality and character, Lang Ya? Will you really usurp the throne by doing something against your conscience but in vain? It's the Eighth Prince's conspiracy, a terrifying conspiracy set up together with His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, the current Emperor is Lang Jun, just a pawn of the Eighth Prince's, don't be fooled by the evil words." Qi Liang didn't think about it. The opportunity to make a judgment, Lang Ya took it, and said loudly.

"His Royal Highness said that if you open the city gate, you will not be punished for your crimes. Instead, you will be promoted to nobles, because you are also deceived by demonic words. If you still refuse to open the city gate and wait for the army The moment you break through the city, you are a sinner of the country, not only will your head be beheaded, but the nine clans will also be implicated, keep your eyes open and see the matter clearly." The general with emperor-level strength next to him spoke loudly again shouted.

"Yes! His Royal Highness is benevolent and righteous. I believe that you, Qi Liang, are not foolish. You can also distinguish right from wrong, and have your own ideology and decision-making. Now that you open the city gate, you will not only avoid a bloody storm in Dongsang, but also You are still a hero, you have to think about it yourself, otherwise, if you make a mistake, you will be hated forever, and everything depends on your decision." Another general in the team took the words, and continued to lobby without giving the other party any chance to think.

With big sticks and sweet dates, coercion and temptation, a war without gunpowder, unfolding in the confrontation between the two armies, with sharp lips and sharp tongues, is no more exciting than a real bloody battle.

"General, you must not listen to the words of the monsters below to confuse the crowd. Once the city gate is opened, the army below will rush into the city, and they will definitely not leave us alive." Seeing that Qi Liang was hesitating, the soldiers beside him couldn't help shouting discouraged.

Joining the army’s voice was like a magic voice, pulling the shaken Qi Liang back, and then he shouted loudly towards the tower: “You don’t need to waste your time, each is independent now, as a soldier, I should obey Order, if I let you in, it will be my dereliction of duty."

"Bold Qi Liang, you are so obsessed, you will not be the only one who will cause harm, but tens of thousands of national soldiers. What is the purpose of His Highness the Crown Prince's persuasion? It is not to avoid bloody storms. The war will keep tens of thousands of families from being destroyed!" the general beside Lang Ya shouted.

"Qi Liang, think about your family members, wives and children, sons and daughters, and Gao Tang in the house. They all hope that you can serve the country and make contributions to the country. What are you doing now? Seeking skin from a tiger! If When the army breaks through the city, your Qi family and nine clans will be implicated, and you will be stained for a lifetime, with a bad reputation." Another general took up the conversation again.

Lang Ya said again: "Qi Liang, the Eighth Prince rebelled. If it wasn't for the protection of the guards, I would have been murdered. This is a huge conspiracy between him and Helian Wen, to cooperate with the Helian family. With the major forces of the Douwu Empire, let Helian Wencheng control the Douwu Empire, and the Eighth Prince will control the Dongsang Kingdom, so that they can attack the empire and the territory of the Dongsang Kingdom together, and drive us to death. But their The conspiracy has long been seen through, the entire empire has been liberated, and even Helian Wencheng fled to Kangle City with his troops. Should you know this? The nature of a large army attacking the city is completely different from opening the city to welcome us yourself. , and can prevent the soldiers of the empire from bleeding into rivers and mourning, you have to make up your own mind."

"Shut up, you don't want to deceive people there, who can you fool with such a trick?" Joining the army saw that not only was Qi Liang wavering, but the soldiers on the tower who were about to start the battle all turned their heads to look at him.It is good to be a soldier to fight and defend the homeland. If there is peace without fighting, it is naturally what every soldier would like to see.

"Are we trying to confuse the crowd? Don't we all have a definition? Do you have the final say? My army is mighty, are we afraid of success?" Cheng Cheng snarled, and the 10,000+ army behind him gathered at the same time. Shout three times, the sound shook the sky.
