"This is a little different from our situation. If it were in the Tang Dynasty, two brothers would at least have a few words with each other. Otherwise, who would know that they are righteous? Why are they planning to attack the city now?"
Qian Ping, who was standing far away, said in surprise that according to their thinking, the two sides should have cursed each other for a while, but the King of Zhennan said nothing and directly ordered his men to push out the siege equipment, such as catapults and the like. Anyway, the Tang army looked down on them, but in the current situation, these things might still be useful.
"Maybe the King of Zhennan figured it out. I've heard from people here before that before a war, the generals on both sides would go up to speak. Now all of the King of Zhennan's relatives are pinned down on the city wall. If the King of Zhennan goes up to speak, the king might chop down his family in front of everyone. If that happens, it will have an impact on the morale of the King of Zhennan's side."
Hu San is a military man, so when analyzing problems, he always analyzes them according to the military's thinking. Take the current incident as an example, it should be similar to what he said.
In fact, the king was indeed a little panicked now. According to his idea, the two sides should argue for a while, and then push out some unimportant people from the Zhennan Palace and push them off the city wall in front of everyone. This would also put psychological pressure on the second son for a while. However, he did not expect that the second son did not play according to common sense. He threw stones up without saying a word.
More than 20 catapults were ready, and they also found a lot of large stones from the surroundings. At the command of King Zhennan, there was no mutual condemnation between the two sides, and more than 20 large stones were already flying towards the city wall.
Other cities in Nanzhao Kingdom didn't even have city walls, which was somewhat different from the Tang Dynasty. Of course, this was also related to the fact that they had not had a war for many years. However, Wang Cheng of Nanzhao was different after all. The city walls here were still very solid. However, when the big rocks collided with the rocks, big cracks immediately appeared. Some soldiers and young men on the walls were directly smashed into meat patties.
"Fight back."
His Majesty the King is no pushover either. Don't think that you are the only one who doesn't have a catapult. Behind the city wall, they also have many catapults, and they have stored a lot of big stones in advance. At this moment, both sides are attacking each other's camps with the support of their catapults.
But it is obvious that His Majesty the King is at a disadvantage, because the King of Zhennan can order his army to retreat and only leave the catapult army behind.
At the same time, the accuracy of the catapults was very low. Most of the stones thrown from the city hit the ground, and a large number of troops retreated hundreds of meters, almost out of the range of the catapults.
The army of Prince Zhennan could run around, but King Cheng of Nanzhao had no way to move, so the stones thrown by Prince Zhennan all hit the city wall. Even if they hit the front of the wall, they could not cause casualties to the people on the wall, but they could cause damage to the wall, and now the gap in the wall was getting bigger and bigger.
"Beat the drum for me."
The king also realized that if he continued like this, his disadvantage would become greater and greater, and dozens of drums on the city wall sounded at the same time.
The meaning is very clear, that is, His Majesty the King wants to talk to the commander-in-chief below. At this time, he must play his trump card, which is to kill the child of Prince Zhennan. Women and other things don't matter, but the child is still very important at this moment. Although Prince Zhennan took the eldest son out, the king knows very well that the eldest son of Prince Zhennan's mansion is not the one Prince Zhennan loves most.
"Keep throwing stones and smash the city wall."
Prince Zhennan also heard the drumbeats outside. He certainly knew what was going on, but at this moment he didn't want his men to stop. Once his men stopped and saw the corpses of their family members, they would definitely be confused, and then they might not be able to command the battle rationally. So he had to take advantage of the current opportunity to smash a hole in the city wall. If he could make a hole, his cavalry would be able to rush in. Regardless of whether he could capture the Nanzhao Royal City, it would be a victory.
The soldiers below did not stop, but increased the speed of throwing stones, which made the king realize that he had to use some real stuff. So the king waved his hand, and the four women next to him were pushed to the top of the city wall and made them stand on the wall.
"Reporting to the prince, the princess and three concubines have been pushed out."
The people below did not dare not to report. They also knew that reporting these things might delay the attack. However, if they did not report, they would be in trouble when the prince came to settle the score later. The king was also cruel enough to push out all four wives of the Prince of Zhennan at once.
As for these four wives, the Prince of Zhennan only cared about his first wife, after all, she was the mother of his sons. As for the other women, they were nothing more than playthings. Let alone if three of them died, even if thirty of them died, he would not feel sad. At most, he could just find another one later.
Prince Zhennan hesitated again and again, but in the end he didn't say a word. He sat in his seat with his eyes closed. When his men saw this, they immediately left.
"Speed up the attack, speed up the attack."
The generals saw that no orders came from the prince's tent, which meant that they had to speed up the attack within this time. If they could make a gap in the city wall within this time, then His Majesty the King's plan would be disrupted and their cavalry would be able to swarm in.
Wait a minute, even if the prince wants to stop these cavalrymen, I'm afraid some of them will be able to rush into the city.
"Push those two down."
After seeing these women standing on the city wall, the Prince of Zhennan still did not stop the attack. His Majesty the King also knew that he had to do something ruthless. When he finished speaking, the two concubines were pushed directly down from the city wall. The height of the wall was more than 30 meters. The two concubines were pushed down from the city wall and were directly beaten to death. Blood flowed from their bodies. They died without even struggling.
