[Combinable entries: King Huaiyang’s Dragon Spear; King Huaiyang’s Seal. 】

[Please select a combined entry or temporarily save the entry. 】

The direction of this mission is very clear, and the mission rewards are also very suitable for Liu Xuan's current predicament.

Liu Xuan gave the order without hesitation,

"Combined, the seal of King Huaiyang."

[The combination is successful and you get the seal of King Huaiyang (blue)]

[The seal of King Huaiyang: the symbol of the title of King Huaiyang. Your identity has been changed successfully. From now on, your identity is the only remaining descendant of King Huaiyang - the 18th son of King Huaiyang Liu Zheng.The royal family tree has been automatically updated. 】

Liu Xuan held the simple seal in his hand, which was only the size of an egg.

The material is an unknown gray-black jade.

The seal is engraved with four large characters in small seals: Huaiyang King Seal.

There are also special anti-counterfeiting lines between the corners.

Liu Xuan knew from the words on the notepad,

It is true that all members of the Huaiyang King lineage were killed in the Huaiyang Rebellion a few years ago.
Now he holds the royal seal of Huaiyang and has the royal family genealogy to prove it.

From now on, he is a true clan member of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Xuan put away the seal, returned to the county government, and called Zhao Liniang and Cheng Hu over.
"Liniang, as a descendant of the King of Huaiyang, please draft a revolt on my behalf. Since Yuan Shu is chasing us relentlessly, we must also start to fight back."

Zhao Liniang's beautiful eyes trembled,
"Descendant of King Huaiyang?"

Liu Xuan raised the corner of his mouth and took out the Huaiyang King's Seal.

He said in Wang Duoyu’s classic tone:
"No more pretending, I'm showing my cards right. In fact, I am a royal clan member, Liu Xuan, the son of King Huaiyang."

Zhao Liniang and Cheng Hu were originally 100% loyal to Liu Xuan, and would not doubt any of Liu Xuan's orders.
Immediately he bowed his head and bowed:

"See Your Highness."

Zhao Liniang quickly wrote the appeal, and Liu Xuan stamped a clear seal of the King of Huaiyang on the signature.

"Cheng Hu, go and post the message in the city, calling on the people in the city to resist Yuan Shu's attack."

At the place where the appeal was posted, Qin Li, Li Lin and Shen Fu looked at this impassioned appeal.
Look at the clear Huaiyang King Seal below,

I couldn't be more excited.

"Haha, the old man has been in the officialdom for decades, and his judgment on people is unmistakable. Liu Xuan is indeed a descendant of the King of Huaiyang."

"I, Qin Li, are fortunate enough to be able to follow the royal family even in my dying years. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,"

Qin Li turned his head and looked at Li Lin and Shen Fu.
"Brother Li, Shen Fu, as the largest family in Huaiyin City, when foreign enemies invade, we must unite as one and fully assist His Highness in defending the city."

"The three of you and I will immediately contact all the aristocratic families in the city to integrate resources, private soldiers and other combat readiness resources for His Highness to deploy. If anyone dares to cause trouble at this time,"

When Qin Li said this, the domineering power of the head of the family appeared.
Say two words coldly,

"Genocide!"

"Boom rumble~"

In the dusty place outside the city, the sound of horse hooves was deafening.

The enemy finally arrived.

"Close the gate!"

Cheng Hu stood on the north city wall, commanding the city defense matters in an orderly manner.

Outside the city, Ji Ling held a three-pointed two-edged sword and looked coldly at the busy soldiers on the wall.

"Just struggling to the death."

After uttering these words coldly, Ji Ling raised his hand to stop the large army.

He gave the order to the commander beside him,

"The rear army is camping on the spot, and the front army is preparing to attack."

Yang Hong, the military advisor accompanying the army, said from the side, "General, the army has just arrived in Huaiyin, the soldiers have not rested, and the only siege equipment is the ladder. Is the siege now too hasty?"

Ji Ling didn't even look at Yang Hong and snorted.
"A mere county town has only three thousand defenders. I have an army of thirty thousand. Even if the front army has ten thousand, it will be more than enough to attack the city."

"Shouchun is now surrounded by enemies on three sides, how can we waste time here?"

"Attack now. If everything goes well, we can start massacring the city tomorrow and return to the court in three days."

"General Zuo, you lead the main attack with 3000 people and capture the city. I will mark your first achievement."

"The end will obey orders!"

Huaiyang County is not a big city. The northern city wall can only accommodate a thousand defenders.
Three thousand Yuan Shu's vanguard troops below the city have already launched a charge.

The trumpet sounded, and hundreds of ladders were rushed over, carried by three thousand soldiers.

Rushing to the bottom of the city wall, the ladder was erected high,
The top hooks the outer edge of the city wall, and two ropes hang down from the top.
The soldiers below pulled the rope hard to stabilize the ladder.

Prevent the ladder from being pushed down by the soldiers guarding the city,
This is the most common method of siege.

As long as the soldiers climbed up the city wall along the ladder,
The soldiers at the back can come up along the ladder in a steady stream.

Of course, what scares the most about this method of siege is the rolling stone.

I saw that the ladder had just been set up.

The rolling stones and trees at the top of the city fell like hailstones,
Huge rocks smashed down the ladder,
The soldiers on the ladder could not escape and were hit by stones and fell to the ground.

The same is true for sunken wood, a dead wood with ropes tied to both ends.

If you smash it down, you can crush a large number of defenders to death.

However, the troops attacking the city were mentally prepared.

A wave of soldiers were killed and injured.

The soldiers behind immediately climbed up quickly, stepping on the corpses of their companions.

A siege is a war of attrition;

The number of stones on the city wall is limited, and if you throw them away, they will be gone.

Although the wood can be lifted up again after being smashed, it takes a lot of time to lift it up.

The siege soldiers took advantage of this moment to climb up desperately.

The first Yuan Shu soldier to climb halfway up the ladder,

A bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes,
In any siege, the first one to climb the city is

Regardless of life or death, it is a great achievement.
In the eyes of the soldiers, the defenders of Huaiyin County were nothing more than a mob.

He had the confidence to scale the city and fight his way out,
But the next moment, the ladder under my feet suddenly shook violently.

The hook on the city wall at the top of the ladder fell off at some point.
Without support at the top, the soldiers below could not control the stability of the ladder at all.
What's more, the soldiers guarding the city have already taken out a long fork.

He forked the ladder and pushed it aside.
The soldiers on the ladder helplessly watched the city head that was just around the corner getting further and further away.
Finally, he couldn't control his body and fell from the ladder.

Liu Xuan stood at the top of the city, looking at hundreds of ladders crooked on the city wall.
I just couldn't stand firm and felt calm.

The city wall has the property of being indestructible, and the defense of the ladder has been increased tenfold.
There is no need to worry about the enemy attacking for the time being.

Patted Cheng Hu on the shoulder,

"Tell brothers to protect themselves. If you have enough rocks, hit them hard."

Cheng Hu nodded and looked behind the city.

I saw a long convoy of wheelbarrows on the wide street.

Taking up the whole street,
The wheelbarrows were filled with stones weighing dozens of kilograms, and the convoy stretched from the north gate to the east gate.

There was originally Zhuting's mine, and there was an inexhaustible supply of stones.

On the edge of the street, Qin Taigong Qin Li came to the refugee relief site again.

He personally distributed free rice, herbal tea and other food to the people who were carrying the stones.

Huaiyin City seemed unprecedentedly united at this moment.
