We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?
Chapter 76 The Sound of Horse Hoofs
On top of the city wall.
The urgent sound of the trumpet woke up the guards on duty, and they rushed to the city wall.
"What's that sound?" the gatekeeper hurriedly asked the soldier on duty.
"I don't know, it seems to be some kind of musical instrument." Someone replied, "Could it be the Mohe people coming?"
"Don't talk nonsense. It's not the day yet. The Mohe people can't possibly come." The city gate official scolded.
The gatekeeper squinted his eyes and saw in the faint moonlight only vague shadows outside the city, as if dark clouds were pressing down on it.
Then I heard the sound of footsteps coming from far away, which was frightening.
He was horrified and shouted, "Light the beacon and fire the rockets!"
Seeing the person next to him still standing there in a daze, he immediately got angry and kicked him: "Hurry up, do you hear me?"
The soldiers then hurriedly lit the beacon fire, and some took up bows and arrows, dipped them in tung oil, and threw them into the air.
More than a dozen rockets shot up into the sky and then slowly fell down, the faint flames dispelling some of the darkness.
The gatekeeper tried his best to look in the light of the fire and saw a dark object surging under the city.
He was so frightened that his scalp went numb and he fell down on the city wall.
People, people everywhere.
Outside the city wall, there was a sea of people.
The Ninggu army soldiers, wearing armor and holding shields and sharp swords, charged forward, followed by a tide of civilians.
The gatekeeper never thought that there would be so many people in Ninggu County.
"Quick, hurry and report it!" the gatekeeper shouted tremblingly, "They're rebelling! These untouchables are rebelling!"
The city gate official didn't need to say much. The moment the rocket took off, the captains of the Ninggu Army knew that they no longer needed to hide.
The moment the charge stopped, a captain shouted, "Brothers, follow me... Long live His Highness!"
"Long live His Highness!" The Ninggu soldiers shouted in unison, quickening their pace.
The soldiers did not know that it was taboo to shout "Long live a vassal king". This sentence almost came out from the heart without going through the brain at all.
The people had no idea who His Highness was, but they could clearly hear the charge, and there seemed to be an indescribable power hidden in the sound.
Countless people were filled with boiling blood. They thought of the oppression they had suffered from the people in the inner city over the years, the hideous smiles of the Mohe people, and the desperate expressions on their family members' faces as they stared at them while lying in a pool of blood.
In an instant, the people instinctively roared and charged forward. Some people even rushed ahead of the soldiers carrying simple wooden ladders.
Almost instantly, countless wooden ladders were erected on the city wall.
He Conglong, the leader of the troops, immediately shouted, "Your Highness has ordered that the first person to reach the summit will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and will be credited with first place!"
Countless soldiers suddenly became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and swarmed forward like ants.
Although the county soldiers defending the city tried their best to push down several wooden ladders, more soldiers soon rushed up the city wall and overwhelmed the defenders.
At the same time, countless soldiers armed with short blades gushed out from the drainage tunnels throughout the inner city and quickly occupied the streets.
The county soldiers had just returned to the camp to rest when they were startled by the charge. When they hurried out of the barracks, the Ninggu army soldiers and armed civilians had already rushed in like a tide.
Charge, charge, charge!
Flames shot up into the sky, and shouts of killing resounded throughout the inner city!
Li Che never thought that the first thing he invented after traveling through time would be a military bugle.
The production of a bugle is not complicated, but it is the soul of war.
After this period of running-in, the soldiers of the Ninggu Army have become familiar with gathering when they hear the bugle call, getting up when they hear the bugle call, and doing drills when they hear the bugle call.
And at this moment, when the sound of the charge from his hometown resounded in this strange world, Li Che still instinctively trembled, his cheeks flushed, and his adrenaline continued to soar.
Even Zhuge Zhe couldn't help but admire:
"The sound of the horns used by His Highness's soldiers is truly thrilling."
Li Che smiled without saying anything. That horn call was engraved in the genes of the Chinese people. It was the horn call for the awakening of the flower-growing family's bloodline.
"Report! The north gate has been breached!"
"Report! The west gate has been breached!"
"Report! The South Gate has been breached!"
Messengers kept arriving on horseback, and good news came one after another.
"Report! Your Highness, General Wang Hu is requesting a battle. The cavalry battalion is ready to attack at any time!"
Li Che nodded slightly: "Tell him to attack immediately, enter from the main road, and go straight to the tallest building in the city!"
The messenger took the order and left. Li Che suddenly felt someone's gaze coming towards him. He turned around and saw Yue Yun looking at him eagerly.
Li Che couldn't help but laugh: "Let the armored cavalry go too, just treat it as training."
"Yes!" Yue Yun clasped his fists and excitedly took the order.
A moment later, the sounds of countless iron hooves came from far away, then from near to far, and rushed into the inner city gate that had already been opened.
. . . . . .
When the charge sounded, no one in the government office heard it.
At the banquet, bells and drums rang, and the piano sounded. Countless singing girls danced in the middle, and their flying skirts brought out wisps of spring.
Yuwen Tai looked at Qiu Bai at the main table. The latter looked like he was enjoying himself, his eyes almost popping out of his head as he stared at the dancer.
He couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
The prince has only this little self-control, as if he has never seen a woman before. This prince doesn't have much ability either.
Yes, if a prince was capable, he would not be exiled to such a place to serve as a fiefdom.
Yuwen Tai changed into a comfortable position, half leaning on the table, enjoying the music in his ears.
Power is intoxicating.
When they first learned that the Prince of Ninggu had parachuted into the court, the heads of the families, including Yuwen Tai, were still a little panicked.
They were all criminals. If the imperial court knew what they had done, not only would the Sixth Prince, who carried the blood of two dynasties, not let them go.
However, after seeing that the Prince of Ninggu was such a fool, Yuwen Tai immediately felt relieved.
Yes, so what if he is the Prince of Ninggu?
At least in the city of Ninggu County, power and the army are controlled by the aristocratic families of the previous dynasty. The Prince of Ninggu County has only more than a thousand personal guards, so what kind of waves can he make?
Without soldiers and power, he can do nothing.
Just worship him as a statue, provide him with good food and drink, and I believe he will not have any objection.
Perhaps I could get along well with him, and use the prince to control the noble families. If all goes well, maybe I could become the real ruler of this county city!
By then, with the support of the Prince of Ninggu and the barbarians, the Yuwen clan would be the real local emperors in this land as long as they did not rebel openly.
Thinking of this, Yuwen Tai couldn't help but smile again. He made a lot of money this time!
I don’t know which prince this Prince of Ninggu is. I forgot to ask just now.
Suddenly, he vaguely saw a fire outside the door.
Yuwen Tai was stunned for a moment and felt something was wrong.
There has always been a curfew in the inner city. How could there be such a big fire in the middle of the night?
He was just about to call his attendant to go outside and check.
Suddenly, a dense sound like beating drums came from a distance.
Da da da--
Da da da--
This sound seems familiar. This sound can be heard every time the Mohe people enter the city.
Yuwen Tai's body suddenly shook, as if he thought of something, and he sobered up a lot.
That’s…the sound of horse hooves!
