The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1359
Gu Chengyu twitched the corners of his mouth. He had suspected He Chaoguang for a long time, but only now showed his feet. It has to be said that King Jing is really capable, but he doesn't know how many hidden stakes he has here.

Gu Chengyu glanced into the hall behind him, turned his gaze to Hu Maoshen, and then gave Ming Mo a wink, Ming Mo immediately nodded knowingly.

Ming Mo knew who his prince was looking at, and Hu Maoshen belonged to Prince Jing, so he naturally wanted to keep an eye on him.

"My lord, He Zhaoguang didn't open the city gate!" Qin Min rode back and reported to King Jing.

Prince Jing reined in the reins, thought for a moment before saying: "I'm afraid he has been exposed, so don't contact him anymore, he is useless."

You don't need to guess to know who it is, Gu Chengyu!Why does Gu Chengyu have to stand on the opposite side of him, is he not good to him?Prince Jing slightly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of determination.No matter who it is, it can't stop him.

"Then if we can't enter the city gate, our chances of winning will be cut in half!" Qin Min frowned, and what he was worried about finally happened.In fact, it's conservative to say that it's half off. Who would have thought that He Zhaoguang would suddenly disappear.

"There is no way out, we can only move forward. Before the imperial court has time to deploy troops for reinforcements, we must seize the opportunity!" King Jing grabbed the reins and looked behind him.

When he saw the continuous flames behind him, his heart surged. These people have been following him. If he also retreats, how can he be worthy of them?I'm sorry for myself?
"Accelerate the march, the ladder is ready, attack the city at any time!" With a wave of his hand, King Jing rode his horse forward, and the army behind him immediately started trotting.

They are now only three miles away from the city gate, and Prince Jing no longer hides and hides, anyway, the court has already discovered it.

When Gu Chengyu and the little emperor arrived at the gate of the city, Prince Jing's army had already approached the city.Gu Chengyu stood on the city tower, looking at the flames below, illuminating the outside of the city like daytime.

King Jing looked up at the city tower, and shouted behind him: "Siege the city!"

Needless to say nonsense, the reinforcements from the imperial court are still in the future, so he has to act as soon as possible.

As soon as he finished speaking English, some soldiers lifted the ladder to the top of the wall.Gu Chengyu's expression froze, and he shouted behind him: "The archers are ready!"

Gu Chengyu threw the raised torch downward. There is a moat at the gates of the capital. If you want to attack the city, you can only start from a few gates.

On the outside of the city wall, there is a trench, which is three meters deep and ten meters wide.Gu Chengyu had already ordered people to pour kerosene into the trench before, and as soon as his torch entered the trench, the trench burned blazingly.

"Quick, lift the board up!" Qin Min shouted at the soldiers behind him.

The burning trench blocked the rest of the enemy troops, and Gu Chengyu looked down at the enemy troops stepping across the trench through the boards and running towards the city gate.

The kerosene can only burn for half an hour, but it is this hour and a half that is won on the battlefield.The tongue of fire ruthlessly licked the soldier's body, unscrupulously releasing its scorching heat.If you don't pass through the trench quickly, you will fall into the abyss of fire below.

There were bursts of tragic screams and a strong smell of burnt meat from below. Such a tragic situation frightened the soldiers who were about to pass to half their lives.

"Not yet? As long as we pass through this trench, we will be promoted and make a fortune just around the corner. Wealth and wealth are in danger, go!" A stout soldier raised his knife and shouted at the people beside him.

Now, where is there a way out?If you don't make it, you will die. If you try your best, you may still be able to survive. It is not impossible to even get promoted and get rich.

His actions greatly boosted morale, and the soldiers rushed to the pedals with enthusiasm.

The wide and thick pedals were burned to ashes, and they were replaced one after another. These soldiers seemed to be tireless.

But those soldiers who passed the trench faced another test.Rockets shot at them all over the sky, and many soldiers who didn't die in the trench died under the rockets.

There were only [-] forbidden troops in the imperial court, and they rushed over from Nancheng, outflanking the enemy army.

"Bump into the city gate!" Qin Min said to the people carrying the stakes.

After a while, there was the sound of the city gate slamming. Gu Chengyu watched the soldiers beside him lift up the huge boulder and drop it, smashing the brains of the enemy army who was about to climb up, and the yellow and white ones stuck to the city wall. It made Gu Chengyu feel sick to his stomach.

The little emperor had never experienced such a grandiose scene. The crying and howling of the soldiers below was so tragic that his face was much paler than before.

Gu Chengyu didn't have the energy to care about the little emperor's mood right now. He glanced at King Jing and Qin Min below, turned around and said to King Jing, "I beg you!"

The little emperor panicked when he heard the words, "The regent wants to do it himself?"

He also heard that Gu Chengyu is good at martial arts, but Gu Chengyu is now the pillar of the imperial court, if he makes a mistake, he doesn't know what the consequences will be.

Now it was all up to Gu Chengyu to stop those wolves, tigers and leopards in front of him. He couldn't imagine that without Gu Chengyu, he would be torn apart and eaten by these people.

"The army dispatched by Weichen has not yet arrived. If King Jing cannot be stopped during this period, Weichen may not be able to wait for reinforcements."

Gu Chengyu still has confidence in self-defense, even if King Jing's martial arts are not weak, he just needs to be fearless.

"Then be careful, if you lose, don't try to be brave!" The little emperor clenched his fists. Although Gu Chengyu is now the backbone of the court, he also knows that the situation is critical.Since Gu Chengyu dared to participate, it showed that he had confidence in his martial arts.

"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty!" Gu Chengyu responded, then drew out his long sword, and flew towards the tower.

King Jing soon noticed a piece of plain white falling from the tower in the haze. He raised the long sword in his hand and looked at Gu Chengyu who was already standing not far away.

Qin Yingyuan was also fighting the enemy bravely, but because of Gu Chengyu's appearance, she was distracted and received a sword on her arm.She turned around and dealt with the soldiers behind her, and slowly approached her brother.

Even in the midst of this turmoil, with rivers of blood flowing all around him, he was completely out of tune with his surroundings with his plain and cold air.Sometimes she didn't know why she was so attached to him. She once thought, could it be because of her stubborn temper?Or is it because what you can't get is always the best?
She didn't have an answer, and the more she thought about it, the more she didn't understand.When I didn't see him, I didn't feel like I missed him too much, I just thought about him occasionally, really only occasionally.But when she saw him, she could no longer hold anyone in her eyes.

"My lord! Leave this person to your subordinates!" Qin Min frowned tightly. Everyone knew that Gu Chengyu was highly skilled in martial arts. He tried his best to fight, but he didn't know if he could stop it.

Prince Jing's expression darkened, "No need!"

Gu Chengyu was dressed in plain onyx, with plain white clothes fluttering in the night wind, and the sword in his hand reflected a cold silver light in the moonlight.
