The eldest son of the red mansion

Jia Ke was really relieved after listening to it. It seems that Fan Kang didn't have any evil intentions during this time.

Next, Jia Ke ordered Wei Kun to send a message to Wutai Mountain, so that Mother Jia could set off for the capital with the young and old Jia family.

There was nothing to say the next night. On the second day, Jia Ke gathered the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army. After all the generals had arrived, he ordered people to set up the formation again. Jia Ke came with the generals in person. Under the city gate.

At this time, someone in the capital had already notified King Zhongshun, and King Zhongshun knew that Jia Ke had returned, so he brought the princes, nobles and royal family members to the gate of the city, and looked at Jia Ke from afar.

Jia Keqi immediately looked up to the tower, and saw that King Zhongshun was wearing a python robe, surrounded by the crowd, looking at him with a bit of aura.

Jia Ke urged the horse forward and shouted to the tower: "Lord Zhongshun, why did you rebel?"

King Zhongshun did not lose his momentum, "Jia Ke, your name is Prime Minister, but you are actually a traitor. What is wrong with me eliminating the world's great troubles?"

After hearing this, Jia Ke smiled, "Since that's the case, let's stop competing for advantages with words, and see real kung fu with our hands."

After Jia Ke finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and returned to the main formation.

Then, in Jia Ke's formation, drums were beating like thunder. Upon hearing the drumming, countless soldiers pushed various engineering equipment and approached the capital again.

With a livid face, Niu Jizong ordered his men to start preparing.

During these days, Niu Jizong has done nothing. He demolished many houses in the capital, collected a lot of wood, pulled them to the top of the city, and used them as rolling logs, and the stones of the houses were also used as thunderstones.

But they didn't collect many bows and arrows, because when Jia Ke left the capital, he had already emptied the warehouse of the Ministry of War.

When Niu Jizong and the others went to the Ministry of War to collect equipment for attacking and defending the city, they found that the warehouse of the Ministry of War was empty.

In the end, they could only collect all the bows and arrows collected in the homes of the princes and nobles, but although they had bows, arrows were very rare, because no princes and nobles dared to hide too many arrows in their homes.

So now when defending the city, there are not many archers participating, and their arrows are quickly used up, which greatly reduces the threat to Jia Ke.

After Jia Ke made a tentative attack, he discovered the weakness of the defense at the top of the city. Although there were many rolling wood and lightning stones, there were almost no bows and arrows for suppression.

Seeing this situation, Jia Ke knew that his arrangement in the capital had worked, so Jia Ke ordered the whole army to attack with all its strength.

After receiving the order, Jia Ke's army began to attack the city desperately. Now the 80 million horses under Jia Ke's command are like waves, retreating and rising again, continuously.

Moreover, Jia Ke had already made preparations, and all kinds of engineering equipment were well prepared.

And Niu Jizong led these people who were originally recruited from everywhere. They had no combat experience at all, and they might not dare to attack people even with knives and guns. It has already lost more than half, and the defense is already crumbling.

And King Zhongshun has not gone down to the city since he came to the tower, and he also knows that the matter has reached the most critical moment, and if he can guard for one day, he can live another day.

Now seeing that the city tower was crumbling, he knew that this could not go on, so he called his own soldiers to order, and he immediately searched for strong men in the capital.

In less than an hour, his personal soldiers collected seven to eight thousand people near the city wall, and some of them were forcibly captured by these personal soldiers.

But King Zhongshun didn't care so much now. When he saw these people coming, he immediately sent them weapons and dispatched a battle team to force them to go to the city to fight against the enemy.

When these people saw that they were going to fight, how could they agree to cry for their fathers and mothers and tremble all over there.

The soldiers of King Zhongshun looked impatient, took out their whips and beat them non-stop, trying to drive them to the top of the tower.

Chapter 593

Those strong men who were driven up to the tower were forced to stand on the tower with weapons, but these people did not have the determination to fight desperately, and they immediately hid aside when they saw danger.

Although there are guards from all over behind to supervise the battle, these people don't dare to persecute them too much, because these strong men also have weapons in their hands. If they are too persecuted, they may turn back before the battle.

Not to mention that King Zhongshun gathered strong men here and forced them to go to the city to fight against the enemy, but also that Jia Ke was under the tower, and seeing that it was getting late, he ordered all around to withdraw his troops and prepare to fight again the next day.

As soon as Jia Ke passed the order, Fan Kang immediately came out to persuade him.

"My lord, although it's getting late now, the city tower is already crumbling. If we stop attacking now, it's just time for the opponent to breathe. It's normal for a capital with a population of one million to recruit 10,000+ strong men. By tomorrow, they will If you can recover some vitality, it is better to attack the city at night."

Jia Ke's eyes lit up after listening to it. Fan Kang's words really made sense.

So Jia Ke took back the order and ordered the troops to light torches, light a bonfire, and attack the city overnight.

From upstairs, King Zhongshun and Niu Jizong saw that the sky had already turned dark, and they thought that Jia Ke would withdraw his troops immediately. Today is the end of the day, and in the evening they can recruit some strong men in the capital, and tomorrow they will Can defend the city.

Unexpectedly, Jia Ke didn't stop, and actually lit bonfires and torches outside the city, which illuminated like daytime. Seeing this, she actually wanted to attack the city overnight.

Niu Jizong only felt exhausted now. He came here and there day after day to fight and rescue, and then barely held the city. He wanted to take a rest, but now seeing that Jia Ke didn't stop, he felt a burst of despair.

And the strong men captured from upstairs were already exhausted, and they hadn't had enough water yet. They didn't expect Jia Ke to attack the city overnight, and they were completely demoralized.

Seeing this situation, King Zhongshun knew that if he didn't know how to boost morale, he might be attacked soon, so he immediately ordered his own soldiers to carry dozens of wooden boxes.

King Zhongshun came to the top of the city and opened the wooden box, only to see that there was silver shining inside.

"Soldiers, you have worked hard in the city today, and I am not a ruthless person. Now, each of you will get 10 taels of silver. As long as you pass today and tomorrow, you can still get ten taels of silver."

The eyes of these captured young men were a little red when they saw the shining silver. These people were just ordinary people, and they had never seen so much silver.

Seeing that the morale was available, King Zhongshun hurriedly winked at the people next to him, and his soldiers immediately began to distribute silver taels, and none of them missed ten taels per person.

Now that these strong men on the towers have some money to take tomorrow, they have some morale.

However, after Jia Ke attacked the city for more than an hour, he saw that the top of the city slowly began to stabilize, which puzzled Jia Ke.

And Ben Bray, who was standing next to Jia Ke, was a little impatient seeing this situation, so he stood out from the crowd, "Master, let the slaves attack me once, I don't believe it, are they all iron fighters?" of?"

Jia Ke saw that there was a stalemate on the tower and that a general like Ben Bulei was needed, so he nodded and said to him, "Wear more armor, be careful, and don't be reckless."

After hearing this, Ben Bray nodded again and again, and then he came to the city wall wearing three layers of armor and carrying his big iron gun. He ordered a few soldiers to hold the ladder for him, and he went up the city along the ladder climb.

When the people on the top of the city saw that a strong man was about to go up the top of the city, they hurriedly took huge stones and threw them back and forth to the headquarters.

Although Ben Bray was a reckless man, he was not a fool. He climbed up the watchtower while watching the actions on the watchtower. When he saw the boulder coming, he held an iron gun with one hand and pushed the boulder away with a clang.

The soldiers on the top of the city looked dumbfounded. The boulder weighed more than a hundred catties and was thrown from top to bottom. They never thought that someone could push it away.

As soon as these people on the tower were stunned, Ben Bray climbed up a few more steps, and he was about to reach the tower.

The strong men on the tower yelled loudly for the nearby partners to come for reinforcements, and at the same time chopped at Ben Bray with the knives and guns in their hands.

Ben Bray held the gun with one hand. Although he blocked a few times, it was a bit inconvenient after all. He was hacked several times by them, but fortunately he was wearing three layers of armor, and these people in the city were not specially trained soldiers. So it didn't hurt Ben Bray at all.

With this skill, Ben Bray leaped onto the top of the city, and he could let go of his hands and feet and waved the big iron gun in his hand to attack left and right, clearing an area on the city tower in a short while.

So the soldiers attacking the city took advantage of this time to rush to the top of the city, and more and more Jia Ke soldiers on the top of the city gradually formed a confrontation with Niu Jizong's subordinates on the top of the city tower

Jia Ke saw that a breakthrough had been opened at the bottom of the city, and immediately ordered the troops to gather at this place. Soon, Jia Ke's troops on the tower were more and more. King Zhongshun saw that the situation was over, and hurriedly fled to his palace with his own soldiers. .

Although Niu Jizong also wanted to run for his life, he was surrounded by Jia Ke's soldiers before he could retreat. Niu Jizong had been fighting for a day and was exhausted, so he was captured alive within two strokes.

The battle on the tower was soon over. Jia Ke's soldiers came to the gate of the city and slowly opened the gate of the capital.
