Chen Palace

Chapter 157
The monarchs and ministers are discussing this matter, but King Ping, who is thousands of miles away, is facing the greatest desperation in his life.

Luancheng couldn't see the stars tonight, only the solitary moon, faintly illuminating the black stone city wall, surrounded by fierce soldiers on the city tower, divided into two groups to guard and rest.

The weapons, swords and halberds in their hands are all top-grade refined, shining coldly in the moonlight, but most of their faces look confused, even fearful.

Although they were still alive, they were frightened by the Tatar cavalry...

King Ping sighed secretly, put on his clothes, got up, and ignored the dissuasion of his attendants, and routinely patrolled the tower for a week.

It was quite cool in the night, and a soldier was holding a long gun, and had already fallen asleep drowsily. King Ping kicked him awake, and was about to punish him severely with military law.But King Ping said: "Now is the time for employing people, hit [-] boards, and atone for your sins with merit!"

Standing at the top of the city, he kissed the doubtful side: "You said that I have always been majestic, but now my heart has softened, don't you?"

"Now the enemy is strong and we are weak, in order to preserve every strength, the prince made an exception—"

"What is every strength?!"

King Ping laughed sarcastically, and the laughter sounded in the night sky, with a feeling of melancholy and desolation.

"These people are so unbearable when they are at ease. In front of the enemy, can you still count on them——Look at their eyes,"

King Ping pointed to the patrolling soldiers who were awake not far away, and said sadly: "Their eyes are shining with fear and unwillingness deep in their hearts, they don't want to die like this - if I push it too fast, it is inevitable that there will be a mutiny. "

All the cronies broke out in a cold sweat when they heard this horrifying "reason". Everyone knew that there was no chance of winning this battle.

One of the leading generals argued: "Brothers were willing to do their best to deal with Lin Kuang's subordinates before, but now these Tatars are fierce and strong, and they lost 7000 troops in just one battle. They are afraid." , is also inevitable.”

"Listen..."

King Ping sneered, and slightly raised his voice at the top of the city.

After everyone listened attentively, he saw a glint in his eyes, and said resolutely: "It's human nature to be afraid of death, but now it's a desperate fight. I'm afraid it will be death. Don't be afraid, maybe we can make a situation - behind us is Ping If the state is defeated, our family and children will die, and they will be ravaged by the Tatars... forever."

He spat out the last four words in a dark voice, and everyone shivered. Thinking of the bloody rumors of the Tatars massacring the city during the Jingle period, their complexions turned pale.

"You have explained what I mean to the soldiers, and you must make them feel fearless-we have no way out in this battle."

At dawn, the soldiers gathered in each team, and there was an uproar when they heard what their chief officers said.

They are all locals, and their families are all in Pingzhou. This lecture, like a revelation, wiped out most of their fear——

"My wife has only been in the house for three months..."

"My whole family is in Pingzhou!"

"Lin Kuang, a thief, colluded with the barbarians, and made our Pingzhou elders suffer!!"

... All of a sudden, there was a lot of chatter, saying everything, but there was an idea in my heart——

This group of beasts cannot be put in Pingzhou!
For half a day, the morale was high, and after weeping, the whole army was cold and solemn, and they gave up their lives and only fought for the elders and their families.

King Ping didn't look satisfied, he just sighed: "The mourning army will surely win... I hope this time, what the ancients said will come true."

At this time, a close friend came to report——

"The court's decree has come down!"

"Oh!!"

King Ping trembled in shock, but the natural aloofness of the imperial family and nobles, as well as his hatred for the emperor, made him control himself.

He turned his head back as if carelessly, and said, "Read it and let me listen."

The emperor informed the people of the world of this natural disaster in the form of a mansion report. When mentioning King Ping, he did not mention his previous treasonous crimes, and sent troops stationed nearby to help. If necessary, the army that is three days away can also be called by King Ping.

"how many people?!"

King Ping asked with piercing eyes as if he had found a treasure.

"There are about [-] people and about five guards."

King Ping's eyes froze, he couldn't believe it——

He has long been disobedient, and he is quite familiar with the defense of the imperial court near Pingzhou.

These five guards have more than [-] people, which may not seem to be many, but they are already all the horses within a day or two of Pingzhou.

"Brother Huang... is he really so generous?"

King Ping's heart was fluctuating, and he was meditating, but he heard exclamations from the tower——

"The barbarians are attacking!"

There was a sudden chaos on the tower, the sound of weapons hitting was sharp and piercing, and the air was filled with tension.
