Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Three days passed by in a flash.

The rebels led by the five major families have assembled.

Tens of thousands of troops roared toward Yancheng. In just one day, the entire Yancheng was surrounded and impregnated.

The army's services are divided into five different colors, representing the strength of the Wu family, Chai family, Li family, Cai family and Dong family respectively.

From the service point of view, the Chai family and the Dong family obviously have more people, but the Wu family seems to have a lot less.

This basically represents the status and power of the five major families in Xiang County.

Of course, there are still many powerful squires and landlords here. Now everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope, so naturally they are united.

Zhou Zheng wanted to touch their cheese and used iron and blood methods. Naturally, they couldn't sit still and wait for death.

Even if there is no contrary idea, things have already developed to this point. Everyone knows that there is no turning back when starting work!

Fortunately, under Zhou Zheng's order, Yancheng had already prepared defensive fortifications. Even if Chai Ning and others led a group of five people, it would not be easy to break through Yancheng in a short time.

The rebels tried to attack the city during this period, but unfortunately they were unable to shake it at all.

Later, Chai Ning and others sent out envoys again, hoping to force Zhou Zheng and others to surrender.

It's a pity that every time those who come to negotiate end up returning with corpses!

"I'm afraid it's not an option if we continue to waste it like this!"

"That's right, it's better to just order a general attack! So what if you pay some price!,"

"The imperial court has long noticed the current situation, and countless eyes of the Zhou Dynasty have fallen on us."

"So, there must be no delay!"

The heads of the five major families gathered in the tent. At this time, the faces of the five people were not as high-spirited as they were at first, but instead looked heavy.

Because the development of the whole time was not at all what they expected.

Yancheng City has high walls and deep walls. There is plenty of food and supplies in the city. With the prince personally in charge, the morale is high. It will not be a day's work to break through.

But at this time, some restlessness began to appear in their rear area.

Not only did a group of people appear out of nowhere, but while the five major families were diverting their power, they actually began to rob the landlords and gentry families in seventy-two cities and eighteen counties!

This has never happened before.

If this trend continues, what if the five major families unite with many powerful country gentry and conquer Yancheng? !

The gold and silver treasures behind them had probably been looted long ago.

After all, the major squire and landowners have all supported the five major families with their elite soldiers. How can they protect themselves?

If the people follow suit, the situation will definitely be more troublesome than they imagined.

Other than that, there seems to be no movement from the court, but if things drag on for a long time, who knows whether the court will send troops! ?

"Everyone, according to the situation in Yancheng, if we hold on for at least one month, we will run out of ammunition and food!"

"When the time comes, we will be able to break through Yancheng and capture Zhou Zheng alive without any effort!"

Chai Ning frowned. It was obvious that taking action at all costs at this time was not what he expected.

Because he knew better than anyone else that if Zhou Zheng really died in their hands, even the emperor, princes and ministers would not only not kill them, but would also thank them.

But after all, this kind of thing is only behind the scenes.

On the surface, the court will definitely send troops in the name of revenge for the prince.

At that time, the situation was completely out of their control.

Only by preserving your own strength as much as possible can you protect yourself to the greatest extent possible when things develop later.

Therefore, even if there were 50,000 men, Chai Ning was not willing to lose too many soldiers.

However, the other four major families are not willing to wait any longer.

Everyone is smart, and they claim that Yancheng cannot support one person, but from the news they have received before, it can last at least three months!

The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for them!

"In that case, let's launch a general attack!"

Finally, Chai Ning took a deep breath, and a look of solemnity slowly appeared on his face.

A quick resolution is never a bad thing!

With an order, the 50,000-strong army rose up and moved closer to Yancheng.

Boom! ! !

The sound of the stampeding of fifty thousand troops came from the ground, making everyone in Yancheng look nervous.

Until on the city wall, countless rebel shadows could be seen approaching at extremely fast speeds. Gu Jiang and others knew that the other party no longer had any patience!

......

Whoohoo! ! !

A strong wind blew through the city wall, and a soaring sense of murder enveloped the entire Yancheng.

Two hundred feet away, Chai Ning led Dong Yun and other leaders, riding their horses and standing at the front, looking towards the city wall with slightly narrowed pupils.

This distance is the safest distance.

Because the farthest distance for the archers is only 150 feet.

"Brothers from Yancheng, it's not too late to surrender!"

"Otherwise, if the army moves, it will crush Yancheng and leave no bones behind!"

kill kill kill! ! !

Chai Ning's voice fell, and the 50,000 troops behind him roared in unison.

The huge sound of fighting came overwhelmingly, and wherever it passed, strong winds swept across and shook the sky!

Feeling the overwhelming momentum of the enemy on the opposite side, the heartbeats of Lei Tong and others on the city wall accelerated a lot.

Nowadays, there are only more than 5,000 people in Yancheng who are truly capable of fighting. Facing a rebel force that is ten times their size, even with the blessing of city walls and the assistance of fortifications, it is not easy to stop them. matter.

Fortunately, everyone is united.

Among the more than 5,000 men and women, there are more than 3,000 Zhenbei Army. They are the real elite.

The battlefields they have experienced, the bloodshed and madness they have seen, are by no means comparable to what they are seeing now.

With them here, Yancheng would not be said to be impregnable, but it would not be soft bones that the other party could easily chew off.

"Prince Prince!"

At this moment, Zhou Zheng, Gong Tan, Gu Jiang and others had already walked onto the city wall.

At this time, Zhou Zheng's face still looked a little immature, but the seriousness in his pupils already exuded an aura of stability.

His appearance gave the officers and soldiers who were guarding the city a slight decline in their momentum, and felt more confident in their hearts.

As a prince, he is not afraid of danger and stands on the city wall. What reason do these soldiers have to retreat! ?

"Prince, it's dangerous here."

Lei Tong and others quickly walked up, this must be the front line.

Although there is a distance of two hundred feet, the sword has no eyes, and the two hundred feet between the two sides is just a blink of an eye.

Lei Tong and the others are not afraid of death, but they must not let Zhou Zheng be harmed.

"It's okay."

Zhou Zheng shook his head, without any nonsense, standing on the city wall, his eyes fell on the heads of the five major families, a little cold light raging.

"Chai Ning, I will also give you a chance. Now if you kill yourself to apologize, I can spare the soldiers behind you."

As soon as Zhou Zheng's words came out, everyone was a little confused. Chai Ning and others were stunned and started laughing.

In their opinion, Zhou Zheng simply couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north.

In the current situation, Yancheng no longer has the initiative.

So what if you are the prince! ?

At least at this time, both sides are at odds with each other, and their identities no longer play any role.

"Everyone, break through Yancheng and kill the prince. I will ensure that everyone will live a lifetime of prosperity and wealth!"

Chai Ning was no longer willing to wait at this time. With a crazy smile on his face, he drew out his long sword, pointed it at Zhou Zheng, and shouted loudly at the soldiers behind him.

"Boss, why don't we leave first."

"With General Lei and others here, everything will be safe."

Zhou Ping saw that the other party might attack the city at any time, so he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and pulled Zhou Zheng's robe to persuade him in a low voice.

After all, he didn't want to be shot into a sieve by the opponent's sharp arrow.

"retreat?!"

"Why do I want to retreat!?"

"Get out of the way, I'm going to start showing off!"
