: Bastard

"Which prince will your majesty choose?" Li Chong asked bluntly.

"The Seventeenth Prince." Yun Aotian said without hiding it.

When everyone heard this news, they were shocked, even Yun Caier looked incredible.

The matters of the royal family are the most mysterious, but they are also the most unstoppable to keep secrets. Every imperial concubine, every princess or prince cannot hide it from the world. Even as long as Yun Aotian walks out of the palace, his every move will touch everyone's hearts. But under such circumstances, he actually has a seventeenth prince. Obviously, Yun Aotian has already planned all this, and he did not know the ambitions of Prince Yong and others on the first day.

"I can only promise you for the time being. And it's a secret." Li Chong hesitated for a moment. Although he felt that he was plotting by Yun Aotian, he decided to agree.

"This sentence with you is enough. The secret and waist cards will be sent to you soon." Haha, Yun Aotian achieved his goal and turned around and left the hall.

After a bitter smile, Li Chong sat on the chair decadently.

Soon the entire city lord's mansion could hear the news of the emperor's arrival, and the entire Jiling City suddenly became excited. Just as they had enough food and clothing, these people immediately rushed to the streets and witnessed the emperor's demeanor.

After the city lord's mansion came out, Yun Aotian specially climbed his own dragon chasing and patrolled the city defense with great fanfare.

"Ji Tong, inform Ouyang Ye and bring out all the weapons for me, especially the crossbow chariots and crossbow arrows."

"Xiaoyong Camp and Fengxiang Camp are responsible for the guards of the east and south gates, Ai Dong and Ai Li are responsible for the west and north gates. Remember, your main task is to teach the people who have just climbed the city tower to learn to fight as soon as possible."

"Cai'er, lead the guards and the warriors in the city to serve as reserve teams. If there is any danger in the city gate, go to support immediately."

"Man'er, lead the sisters to call on the people in the city to protect their homes, men climb the walls, women send food and rescue wounded people, and children transport me arrows."

"Old Gazi, you are not familiar with this place, and you have no acquaintances. You will take your brothers to snatch all the things you can use to defend the city, and collect all the lamp oil and vegetable oil for me."

Everything has become a foregone conclusion, and Li Chong can only calmly issue various instructions.

Nearly half of Prince Yong's army's food and grass were snatched. If there were no accidents, Prince Yong would definitely launch an attack within five days. This is beyond doubt. Yun Aotian's appearance made this time advance again. Not only that, Prince Yong's attack will be endless, knowing that the city will be broken.

However, Li Chong knew Yun Aotian's intention. The reason why Dongli Kingdom did not attack now was because the army had not yet been assembled. Every time Prince Yong delayed, Dongli Kingdom's army would gather more. If Prince Yong was forced to attack the city as soon as possible, and if Prince Yong was afraid that Prince Yong would repent, Dongli would choose to send troops immediately, and the troops would not be sufficient.

There are two benefits to forcing Prince Yong to siege the city urgently. One is that Ji Ling City will stick to it, which can create an illusion, as if Prince Yong regrets it and kills the emperor, he is unwilling to give up Ji Ling City. In this way, Dongli Kingdom and Prince Yong will have a gap, and may even fight. In any case, this is good news for the Dayun Dynasty.

The other one is that Ji Ling City was quickly captured, and Emperor Yun Aotian was killed. At that time, the reward orders of Li Chong and Prince Li appeared immediately, and the entire Great Yun Dynasty formed a situation of five divisions of the world. At that time, Prince Yong killed Emperor Yun Aotian and made the greatest contribution. The other three princes obviously would not allow Prince Yong to be great. If Prince Yong contributed to Ji Ling City, the other three princes would definitely suspect that Prince Yong was unwilling to be willing to cooperate with Dongli Kingdom. It would be strange if the other three princes did not send troops to attack. If Prince Yong did not hand over Ji Ling City to Dongli Kingdom and did not divide some territory to Dongli Kingdom, how could Dongli Kingdom give up.

Yun Aotian's own appearance made the original simple situation extremely complicated. Regardless of whether Ji Ling City was broken or not, Yun Aotian at least saved the vicinity of Kyoto, and caused suspicion and internal struggle among the four princes.

Li Chong had to admire Yun Aotian's treason for one stone.

However, Li Chong couldn't take care of so much, nor did he want to take care of so much, but he couldn't watch hundreds of thousands of people in Ji Ling City die in a bad life. He didn't want to see his brothers and family be hurt.

The war is imminent, and a tense atmosphere spread throughout Jiling City. Everyone felt this solemn atmosphere, everyone's hearts are hanging, and everyone is working hard to carry out their work.

In just three hours, the entire Jiling City had been mobilized. Any man who could get the weapon would take the initiative to come to the city wall to help defend, and those women and children also had their own ways to serve.

What is worth mentioning here is the Ouyang family. Not only did all their weapons contribute, but the elites in the family even rushed up to the city wall and swear to live and die with Ji Ling City.

However, Li Chong knew that these were not entirely due to his reputation. Most of them were because Yun Aotian, the emperor of the Great Yun Dynasty, personally took charge, which made the entire Ji Ling City crazy.

It was soon dark, and at this time, the number of people who could participate in the battle on the city wall reached a terrifying 200,000, and the rest were even more uncountable.

Everyone's faces showed excitement, and they knew that Prince Yong's soldiers surrounded outside were only 200,000.

However, unlike these people, Li Chong and other generals are very clear about the gap during the period. If they really fight, the 200,000 people will not be able to withstand the rush of 20,000 regular troops. Fortunately, they are now guarding the city wall. As long as they try not to let Prince Yong's soldiers rush up the city wall, as long as they obey the orders, the gap will really narrow a little.

A night passed slowly in this tension. After a night of careful calculation, Li Chong had allocated the materials he received evenly on each city wall, and a dedicated person was responsible for it.

Two thousand soldiers and nearly six thousand bandits, all of whom had more or less fought and received professional training. At this time, these people became the key to Li Chong and also became the intermediate officers of the 200,000 temporary army.

The more than 200 veterans including Lao Gazi have no time to become officers now, but follow Li Chong as a guard. But they know that when it is their turn to play their role, it must be the most dangerous moment in the battle.
