Wang Chaoqing was very sad. No one comforted her, and no one wanted to comfort her.
Bei Mingkang's sadness was slightly lighter than that of Chao Qing.
After all, he has other sons. If the remaining two sons fail, he is not old enough and can still have another son.
My son's injury was a trivial matter, and the game was not worth mentioning. The most important thing was the siege by the natives.
Nothing is more important than defending the city now.
Bei Mingkang felt heavy after seeing the twelfth prince Dihao. Dihao was chased by the natives and fled into the Tiger Roaring City.
When Bei Mingkang saw the prince supported by his family, he was only surprised but not happy.
This is no small matter.
This year's formation is too dangerous at first glance. He has been the city leader for more than thirty years, and this is the third time.
The first two times, they were all destroyed.
Even in his memory, his father had only one way to deal with the crowds of natives, which was to lead people to break out early and hide, waiting for the crowds to pass.
There is a passage underground in Tiger Roar City, and he can escape at any time if the timing is not right.
But this year with two His Royal Highnesses, this practical grasp is particularly important.
He left early, and it seemed that he was particularly greedy for life and afraid of death. Thinking of the previous two attacks on the city, the emperor must have new ideas.
If we leave too late, no one's life can be saved.
Bei Mingkang just wants to send the two princes out of the city to a safe place. Otherwise, if something goes wrong with the two princes, he will not live.
The emperor will eat him alive like the natives.
But these two princes are not puppets at the mercy of others, nor are they obedient children. Bei Mingkang, even if he takes them out of the city, he cannot guarantee their safety 100%.
Bei Mingkang still stood on the city wall, looking down at the endless attacks of the natives outside the city, feeling bitter in his heart.
The natives are simply the most evil existences in the world.
When attacking a city, it does not matter day or night, it is endless and endless. The most important thing is that the natives cannot have any siege machines, so there is another difference between them and human sieges.
Human beings often choose one or more city gates to attack. After all, compared to a city wall that is ten meters high and two to three meters wide, city gates are relatively easy to break through.
But the natives are different. No matter which direction they come from, they run to the city wall and start trying to climb up. The entire city wall has 365 degrees of dead ends, and they are all the places where they can attack the city.
These two points determined the difficulty of defense for the natives to attack the city.
As a defender, humans basically don't want to go out of the city to fight back. Most of them just shoot arrows, or use long-range spiritual combat skills, or roll trees and rocks.
But Tiger Roar City is so big, and it has to be defended all around the wall, and it needs to be defended for twelve hours a day, which is so uncomfortable.
Fortunately, tens of thousands of soldiers were recruited this time to deal with His Royal Highnesses. Although they have not reached the desired number, and they are all untrained recruits, it is still possible to hit them with rocks.
Besides, some people are better off after all.
This would at least allow these soldiers to be divided into three shifts, with each shift lasting three hours and six hours. This would be more humane than some of the current sweatshops and allow them to relax mentally.
However, Bei Mingkang knew that no matter how hard he tried, he would eventually lose.
In the more than 50 years since Huxiao City was built, it has never been able to successfully defend the city against the crowds of natives.
