Chapter 491 The situation is unfavorable
The fierce battle in Los Angeles is in full swing.
Under the arrangement of Liang Wang Li Long, the rebels and the Yan army launched an offensive.
Although it was not fierce, it made the common people and wealthy families in the city feel threatened.
In just one night, the people in the city rushed to the city gate frantically, and they strongly demanded that the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty open the city gate.
At the same time, the aristocratic families also joined in and sent people to exaggerate the situation among the people, causing the people to be filled with righteous indignation and even want to attack the city gates.
The defenders were helpless and could only send soldiers to block all the civilians in the streets, but this also blocked their way to support.
Upon hearing the news, Di Ying immediately went to the streets in the east of the city.
Looking at the densely packed crowds of people, Di Ying's face changed drastically.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm himself down, stood on a high place and shouted: "Everyone, please listen to me!"
The noisy people gradually quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on Di Ying.
"As the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou, I hereby assure you that I will fight to the end in this battle!"
Di Ying said with a serious face: "Your Majesty also said that if the city survives, the people will be there, and if the city is destroyed, the people will die!"
After these words were spoken, the people who originally wanted to leave the city suddenly hesitated.
Even the empress stayed in the city, what else did they have to worry about?
With the empress around, the soldiers of the Great Zhou will definitely fight to the death.
What's more, the walls of Luo City are high, so it is not easy for the enemy to rush in.
However, just when the people were about to be convinced, someone suddenly shouted, "If Your Majesty is really willing to live and die with us, we are naturally willing to stay, but where is Your Majesty now?"
This sentence is like a stone thrown into the lake, causing a thousand waves!
Someone immediately echoed: "Yes, if Your Majesty really wants to do this, then he should take the initiative to show up!"
"Hmph, His Majesty hasn't attended court for months. In my opinion, she's long gone!"
"He is lying to us. In fact, His Majesty has been out of the city for a long time. Otherwise, how could he not show up?"
For a moment, questioning voices filled the entire street.
Di Ying's face changed drastically. Just as he was about to explain, someone shouted, "Open the city gate, we want to get out!"
"Yes, let us out!"
"If they don't let us out now, we won't be able to leave even if they come and kill us."
As they were shouting, someone actually took the lead and rushed towards the city gate.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty immediately protected Di Ying and retreated to the city wall. Although Di Ying tried his best to shout and persuade everyone to remain calm, once public opinion erupted, it was difficult to stop it.
All the people began to attack the city gate.
Seeing that he could not persuade them, Di Ying could only sigh and say, "Stop them!"
The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty immediately stepped forward to maintain order.
However, in this way, they not only had to face the pressure from the enemy outside the city, but also the impact from the people inside the city, being attacked from both sides.
For a moment, the entire city of Los Angeles began to fall into chaos.
The wealthy families in the city began to pack up their things, and the common people went crazy, with some even taking the opportunity to steal and do shameful things.
The rebel spies hiding in the city quickly spread the news.
Outside the city, in the camp.
King Liang Li Long looked at the letter in his hand with a look of satisfaction on his face.
“Everything is going according to my plan. Now the noble families in the city are ready. They are just waiting for our army to attack with all their might, and then they will rise up and join forces with us.
Come on, pass the order down, change the feint attack to a full-scale attack after daybreak, and take over Luo City within three days!"
Li Long's face showed excitement when he thought of taking over Luo City and being worshipped by thousands of people after ascending the throne.
After planning for a long time and now it’s about to be accomplished, how can I not be excited.
Three days, just three more days, and he would be able to sit on the dragon throne above everyone else!
By then, I will definitely pin the empress under me and humiliate her severely!
Thinking of the empress's lofty and delicate face, an expression that all men understand appeared on his face.
This time, he also wants to taste the empress!
But what Li Long didn't know was that at this moment a troop of soldiers was heading this way.
After a night of traveling, we finally arrived outside of Luo City after daybreak.
However, the shouting and killing in the distance prevented Chu Ning from getting closer. Instead, he chose to rest in a forest and wait for news from the scouts.
An hour later, Chu Ning was eating dry food when he heard the sound of horse hooves on the road in the distance.
The two scouts are riding back!
"See Your Highness!"
"Tell me, what's the situation in Los Angeles?"
"Your Highness, Luo City is being besieged by the Great Zhou rebels and Yan State troops, and the people in the city seem to have rioted."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Ning's face changed slightly: "How could this be? Could it be that the Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty is unable to control the people?"
As an emperor, if he can't even do this, he would be a failure.
But based on his understanding of the Empress of the Great Zhou, she was a very resourceful woman and it was impossible for her to be unable to do even this.
The scout quickly explained: "Your Highness, the Queen of the Great Zhou has not been attending court for six months and has announced to the public that she is seriously ill.
The empress did not show up this time, but asked the prime minister of Great Zhou to appease the people. However, the people of Great Zhou did not believe the prime minister's words and thought that the empress of Great Zhou had fled Luocheng, which led to the riot. "
Chu Ning couldn't help but look surprised after hearing this.
seriously ill?
The empress is good at martial arts and her physique is stronger than that of ordinary people. How come she suddenly became seriously ill?
Moreover, the palace has imperial physicians. Even if the patient is seriously ill, he should recover after six months of treatment.
Now that Los Angeles has reached the most critical moment, why hasn't the empress shown up yet?
The more Chu Ning thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. His brows furrowed in surprise.
Just then, the sound of horse hooves was heard again, and another scout came back.
"Your Highness, the Great Zhou rebels and Yan's troops have launched a general attack, and Luo City is in danger!"
This time the news was even worse.
Ran Ming didn't wait for Chu Ning to speak when he heard this. He stuffed the dry food in his hand into the hands of the soldiers next to him and shouted:
"Your Highness, what are you waiting for? Go to the city immediately!"
Chu Ning raised his eyebrows: "We only have 200 people, and the enemy has more than 100,000 troops. How can we fight our way in?"
Ran Ming's mouth twitched and he dared not speak.
If there were several thousand people around him, he would definitely dare to charge in.
But there are only two hundred people around him, which is indeed too few. Although he really wants to rush into Luo City immediately, his strength does not allow it.
Chu Ning stood there, looking at Luo City in the distance, a solemn look on his face.
In fact, he could have not participated in this matter, but the empress wrote a personal letter and he had to come.
Now that we are at the battlefield, if we do nothing and just go back, it would be too against our conscience.
Don’t back down when you encounter difficulties!
Of course, the difficulties this time are the greatest ever, but we must find a way to enter Los Angeles.
As long as we get into the city and meet the empress, we might still have a chance to turn the tide.
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and made up his mind: "Let's explore again, the others rest here!"
