God said the world

Chapter 92

bump……

There were loud crashes one after another, but the sealed breaking stone did not move at all.

"TNND, what kind of stone is so hard." At this time, the porcupine king was already covered with scars, all of which were caused by hitting the breaking stone.

The lava billowed in, and wherever it went, thick smoke billowed and red fires ignited.

Seeing the porcupine pigs being ruthlessly swallowed by the molten lava, the porcupine king's heart twitched in pain all the time, and the other porcupine pigs also started to concentrate their attacks on the city wall under the order of the porcupine king. If you break it, attack the city wall. After all, the city wall is easier to break than the breaking stone.

Watching the lava coming gradually, the porcupine king organized the porcupines to shoot out the horned arrows in volleys and inserted them into the ground to form a wall of horned arrows, and at the same time let the porcupines that can roar and attack elite line up Qi used his roar to disperse the raging lava. Although it was futile, it could also buy more time for the arrow hobs who were digging the wall behind.

Some residents also followed Tian Yinke and Cao Zhuo to the direction of the imperial city. The residents who were on the run did not question why Cao Zhuo, who usually makes a living by butchering pigs and selling pork, put on a set of armor today. The current residents They only thought of going to the imperial city to survive, and nothing was more important than their own lives.

Cao Zhuo and Tian Yinke killed at least 100 people along the way, all in twos and threes, but now the two of them are hiding among the large number of residents and rushing towards the imperial city.

However, Tian Yinke didn't understand why Cao Zhuo had to wear such a suit of armor?It would be particularly eye-catching to rush into the imperial city like this, and it would be easy to become one of the targets of attack, and even fall into siege.

But Cao Zhuo explained with a smile: "Idiots know that I am usually a pig butcher wearing a set of sophisticated equipment. There must be something wrong with it, but even if I am in danger and I know I will die, I will wear it. Tell Xiliang Kingdom that someone from Longchao has already found out where they are, and I also believe that there will be other Jinyiwei sneaking in here. What I want is to use this armor to gather everyone together. If you miss this opportunity, there will be no next time. gone."

Tian Yinke immediately understood Cao Zhuo's mood, waiting here alone can't do anything, and there is no one to talk to, the loneliness is really tormenting.

A group of people rushed towards the imperial city, but there was no lava explosion near the imperial city, but Tianyinke felt very strange why, there were puffs of white smoke rising from the moat of the imperial city?
The corners of Cao Zhuo's mouth raised slightly and he sneered, "Of course we need to build a cold water river, otherwise the lava would flow here, wouldn't it melt the entire imperial city?"

Tianyinke shuddered. This was planned for a long time. Such a mechanism was set up to lure the enemy into the city, block all the back roads, and then the lava erupted. However, the imperial city had preventive measures. Hanhe; What if the residents in the city didn't evacuate in time?Wouldn't they all die?

After thinking about it, Tian Yinke felt deeply afraid.

After approaching the imperial city, Tianyinke found that many people had already arrived outside the moat of the imperial city ahead of them, crying there, but the suspension bridge of the imperial city had not been lowered.

It was only after Tianyinke arrived at the moat that he discovered that the river was flowing all the time without any sign of freezing, but the cold was extremely oppressive, and some of them accidentally fell in the crowd. It was an astonishing scene It just appeared, and the person who fell hadn't touched the river, and a thick layer of frost had already formed, and then there was no cry, as if it had been frozen.

"General, open the city gate now and lower the drawbridge to save tens of thousands of city residents." A young general beside Quzhou said excitedly.

But Qu Zhou didn't respond at all.

The young general winked at the people around him, and that person immediately led more than a dozen people down the city wall and ran to the city gate. He wanted to open the city gate, but he didn't want to be pierced by the guards of the city gate. chest.

The city gate guard said loudly: "Without the order of the king and the general, the city gate cannot be opened. Anyone who violates the law will be killed on the spot."

The dozen or so people who were brought down looked at each other in blank dismay, but they also pulled out their knives awe-inspiringly, and fought with the guards at the city gate. Soon, more than a dozen people were not put out; Surprised, the gatekeeper sergeant, whom I didn't think much of in the past, can easily kill the guards of the standing army with the same number of people without hurting a single person, unless it is the Habayashi army in the palace that has such strength.

Qu Zhou glanced at the general who was still kneeling out of the corner of his eye, but said nothing.

And the young general calmed down after hearing the symphony of weapons under the city tower, and was even a little secretly happy, but when the screams stopped, he didn't hear the sound of the city gate opening, so he couldn't help being surprised .

It was obvious that no one else intervened just now, why Xiaofang and the others haven't opened the city gate yet.

"Stop wishful thinking. The council in the palace has already arranged for the army he trusts to take over the opening of the city gate. Now unless I give an order, no one can open the city gate." Qu Zhou couldn't bear to say after all. There are too few generals available in Liangguo. Those with talent and ability have already been wiped out, and the rest are young generals who are the hope of the new generation of Xiliangguo. What if he dies?Then rely on these people to support Xiliang's military affairs.

Qu Zhou continued: "For the sake of the country's rise and fall, the king has no choice but to do the same. We, the courtiers, have to distinguish the seriousness of the matter."

General Prince is the kneeling young general. He is the best of the new generation of generals. He is very good both in training and in actual combat exercises. That's why Qu Zhou kept him by his side in case of accidents.

"Could it be, general, do you also support this approach?" The prince will grit his teeth, and said anxiously, the lava is getting closer.

"The cultivation of food in our country is beyond our means. If this continues, the whole country will starve to death sooner or later. It's better to give up some unimportant people." Qu Zhou said helplessly.

The prince said loudly and solemnly: "Is it necessary to abandon one hundred thousand people just because of this? Can't we think of other ways if we don't have enough food? We can let our army go hunting for food for military training."

"What if all the wild animals in the nearby mountains are hunted and killed? After all, it's not a long-term solution." Qu Zhou said calmly.

The prince said dissatisfied: "At least it can relieve the urgent need, can you think of a way?"

"Many ministers died of illness. You have heard that they died of hard work for the country. But to put it bluntly, these capable ministers were killed because they knew about this matter and could not solve it. Batch after batch of ministers were killed. Kill, what do you think can be done? There is no disaster, and the harvest is as usual, so the country's grain can last for 50 years, and all these methods are calculated, and it can be concluded that it can last for 50 years." Qu Zhou seemed to grow old in an instant Many, murmured: "50 years... 50 years."

Cao Zhuo was anxious in his heart, if the lava would soon come pouring in like this, what would he do with his mission?Can I go back to the place where I was born and raised?But the Hanshui River in front of him was like a murderous invisible devil, who would feel the bone-chilling ice as soon as he approached it, and even a person with internal strength would be hurt by the cold air after standing in the Hanshui River for a long time.

Cao Zhuo raised his head and took a look, the towering city wall felt even more dejected; why haven't the others come out yet?
