The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Chapter 87: The Invasion of the Princes

After hearing what Yan Ying said, Prince Ya was also undecided. He looked at Gao Hou and Fengshawei.

Gao Hou thought for a moment and said, "Doctor Yan, in my opinion, those vassal states are just pretending to attack Great Qi."

"It seems their goal is Fugui City. If we invite Zixuan to fight against other countries, wouldn't we offend all the princes?"

"The vassal states have millions of soldiers. I, Qi Guoyan, am no match for them. If that happens, my Great Qi will be utterly destroyed."

"The city of Fugui is about thirty feet high, and there is plenty of money and food inside. I don't think the vassal states will be able to capture it."

"Why not let Qi give the way to the other princes and let them attack us?"

Fengshawei also agreed, "Master Gao's words make sense. Regarding the Crown Prince's matter, we can use the excuse that the King is seriously ill and there is no one in charge. We will give a reply after the King recovers."

Due to the power of the two men, the ministers did not dare to say anything, and the matter was settled.

The princes were very happy when they heard the news. Their claim of seeking justice for Jiang Guang was actually a lie.

Now that the real goal has been achieved, who will care who becomes the crown prince?

So, the various vassal states led millions of troops and marched straight towards Fugui City.

Zixuan had received the news long ago and immediately ordered Jiyi to prepare for battle. He then arranged for someone to tell Jiang Guang the news.

In the letter, Zixuan told Jiang Guang that he didn't need to interfere in the affairs of Fugui City and asked him to proceed according to the original plan.

Jiang Guang became very anxious when he heard that the various vassal states were passing through Fugui City to attack it.

But when he saw the letter Zixuan wrote to him, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

So he quickly wrote a few letters and asked someone to send them to Linzi.

In Cui Zhu's mansion in Linzi, Cui Zhu looked at the letter written to him by Jiang Guang and immediately felt excited.

He immediately ordered someone to prepare the carriage and drove quickly to Doctor Qingfeng's house.

In the study of the Qing Mansion, Cui Zhu sat down and handed the letter written by Jiang Guang to Qing Feng. "Master Qing, this is the letter that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to give you."

Qingfeng took the letter, opened it and read it carefully.

After he finished reading it, he said excitedly: "Master Cui, the day we have been waiting for has finally arrived."

"I will go to Yanying's house immediately, and you go to Shuyi and Shudiao. Once everything is settled, we will take action immediately."

So, the two of them went their separate ways to secretly contact Jiang Guang's supporters.

At the same time, the special agents secretly sent to Linzi by Zixuan were also ready and ready to attack at any time.

After a long journey of more than half a month, the armies of the various vassal states finally arrived at the west gate of Fugui City.

Duke Dao of Jin and the princes looked at the tall city wall and were secretly surprised. Could such a high city wall be conquered?

The princes of various countries also went back to report to them how tall and magnificent the walls of Fugui City were.

At that time, they didn't believe it and said their sons were exaggerating and alarmist.

Now that everyone has seen it with their own eyes, they can't help but feel a sense of unease and fear.

But now that things have come to this, there is no way back, and I can only bite the bullet and charge forward.

So they ordered the army to set up camp first and then discuss how to attack the city.

After the central military tent was set up, all the princes gathered in the big tent, drinking tea and discussing how to attack the city.

First, the Marquis of Yan spoke: "My lords, in my opinion, it is best to persuade them to surrender first."

"We should send an envoy to Fugui City to negotiate with the city's lord, Zixuan, and persuade him to surrender and avoid the suffering of war."

"Think of it, there are only a little over 100,000 soldiers in the city, while my army has over a million."

"Perhaps Zixuan was frightened by the sheer number of our troops and offered the city to us. Wouldn't that be a good thing?"

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

So, Duke Dao of Jin sent an envoy to the city of Fugui, asking to see the city lord Zixuan, saying that he had something important to discuss.

At this time, Zixuan and Boyuan were drinking tea and chatting on the city wall.

Ever since Zixuan was assassinated last time, Boyuan always followed her wherever she went.

At this moment, I heard from Ximen Commander Ji Liu that an envoy wanted to see him.

She smiled coldly and told Ji Liu, "Tell the envoy that I will not see you. Let the princes use whatever skills they have."

When the princes heard that Zixuan refused to meet, they knew that it was hopeless to persuade him to surrender, so they arranged their troops to prepare to attack the city tomorrow.

The next morning, after a hearty meal, the million-strong army set up ladders, pulled siege equipment, and shouted loudly, rushing towards the city like a tide.

They came to the moat and built the floating bridges that had been prepared long ago on the river surface one by one.

The soldiers quickly rushed across the moat, set up ladders and quickly climbed up the city wall.

Zixuan had already deployed three million robot soldiers.

Adding the one million defenders at the west gate, there are now four million robot soldiers on the city walls.

When Ji Yi saw that the soldiers of all the vassal states had entered the fiefdom, he immediately ordered a counterattack.

In an instant, countless crossbows, lasers, electric currents, and high-explosive bombs poured down from the city like a storm.

In an instant, the area beneath the city walls turned into a living hell, with millions of soldiers scurrying around like ants whose nest had been blown away.

"The sounds of screams, wails, cries for parents, and the explosions of high-explosive bombs created an extremely chaotic scene.

The princes did not cross the river. They watched what was happening from afar and were all stunned.

His eyes widened in horror as he pointed at the wall in disbelief: "What are these red, green, and white lights?"

"And the rumbling thunder, could it be that the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning have come to help?"

"Could those endless soldiers be heavenly soldiers and generals?"

"Oh my God! Could it be that the city lord Zixuan is the chosen one blessed by the heavens?"

"Have we offended her and are now being punished by God? This is over, let's retreat immediately."

Immediately, the princes ordered their soldiers to blow the horns to retreat.

When the soldiers heard the horn, they turned around and ran towards the camp frantically as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw.

All that was left were dead bodies and seriously injured people wailing in pain on the ground.

When Ji Yi saw that the coalition forces of the princes had retreated, he immediately ordered his soldiers to stop shooting.

The attack by the vassal states resulted in nearly 200,000 casualties.

Just like last time, Zixuan did not let the robot soldiers shoot at the vital points of the coalition soldiers.

The high-explosive bombs also blew up the siege weapons.

Some of those who died were accidentally injured, while others were trampled to death by their own brothers.

Zixuan felt very uncomfortable when he saw the dead bodies under the city.

These abominable princes, for their own political purposes, let these innocent soldiers sacrifice their lives in vain. They are the real culprits.

So she asked Ji Yi to order the battlefield to be cleaned up, and those seriously injured who did not escape were brought back to the city for treatment, and all those who died were cremated.
