Chapter 347 Emperor Zhaowu, Winning the Hearts of the People and the Army

"General, below the city, the person standing below the city is the emperor!"

Buzz——

The mind of Luo Ping'an, the leader of the Youzhou rebel army, exploded with a buzzing sound, still echoing the crying words of the crossbowman soldier in front of him.

Click!

The next moment, Luo Ping'an slashed down the crossbowman soldier who refused to carry out his orders without hesitation, without any hesitation or any emotion.

Luo Pingan was holding the ring-shou knife that was still dripping with blood, and roared with a ferocious expression and red eyes: "If you disobey orders, you will be beheaded without mercy!"

"Don't say that the person standing outside Youzhou City is a fake emperor, so what if he is the real Emperor Zhaowu of the Tang Dynasty?"

"He Chen Huaian used to be the emperor to whom I am loyal, but from this moment on, he is no longer the emperor to whom I am loyal!"

With that said, Liu Ziyu pointed his blade and shouted sternly at another crossbowman soldier on the wall: "You, shoot arrows for me immediately -"

"All of you, shoot arrows at this general. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"

"Fire the arrow——"

However, facing the almost crazy general Luo Ping'an, the defenders on the walls of Youzhou City remained stunned and unmoved.

But there was confusion and fear in his eyes, as if he wanted to get the answer from somewhere as to why General Luo wanted to kill the current Holy Emperor.

"Why, do you want to rebel?"

Luo Ping'an went completely crazy. He killed another crossbow soldier who refused to carry out his order with one knife. He roared like a wild beast: "Left and right Yu Houjun, listen to the order——"

"From now on, we will take over the city defense. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed——"

"Fire the arrow——"

Whoosh!

Finally, Luo Ping'an saw the right moment and swung his sword in person, cutting off the crossbow of a crossbow in front of him. Three arrows as thick as spear shafts immediately left the string and shot towards the imperial army formation outside Youzhou City. go.

Due to the long distance and insufficient accuracy, these three crossbow arrows were like mud oxen rushing into the sea to the huge number of imperial soldiers and horses, and they could not hurt at all, let alone threaten the safety of Zhaowu Emperor Chen Huaian below the city.

However, Luo Ping'an's move completely made the defenders on the walls of Youzhou City angry.

Immediately someone shouted loudly: "General, the person standing under the city is the current Holy One!"

"General, how can you be disrespectful to the Emperor?"

"General, stop it—"

In an instant, on the narrow wall of Youzhou City, the defending soldiers who learned the truth tightened their swords, guns, swords and halberds in their hands. While advising the general Luo Pingan to stop, they stepped towards Luo Pingan and the people around him. Dozens of soldiers pressed forward.

These soldiers still maintained restraint and did not directly attack the general with swords or guns. However, the momentum of pressing forward step by step made Luo Ping'an and the dozens of soldiers under his command unable to breathe, let alone They were facing off against soldiers who were defending the city dozens of times their own, so they had to lean on each other back to back, constantly shrinking their formations and defense lines.

"You, what do you want to do? You are trying to rebel!"

Luo Pingan was frightened, but he had to bravely wave the ring-shou knife in his hand and kill several soldiers who came forward to "force the palace", trying to overpower these grassroots soldiers and find him. Return to his majesty as a general.

However, these soldiers were not afraid of life and death at all. As if they couldn't see Pao Ze who fell in front of them, they still pressed on Luo Ping'an and his party step by step.

He kept repeating: "General, stop it, the person standing under the city is the emperor!"

at the same time.

Emperor Zhaowu of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Huaian, who was standing proudly on horseback at the foot of Youzhou City, also discovered what had happened to the defenders on the city wall. He immediately saw the opportunity and shouted to the top of the city: "Generals of the Tang Dynasty stationed at Youzhou City, listen -"

"The leader of the rebel army, Luo Pingan, surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the country, bringing disaster to the Tang Dynasty. The purpose of my personal expedition is to clean up the door and remove these moths from the army of the Tang Dynasty;"

"I now decree that all the soldiers stationed in Youzhou City, except Luo Ping'an and his party members, will be exempted from crime!"

Immediately afterwards, a group of escorting Jinwu Guards officers repeated the content of the imperial edict in unison: "Except Luo Pingan and his party members, all other officers and soldiers are exempted from guilt!"

"Except for Luo Ping'an and his party members, all other soldiers are exempted from crime!"

The sound became louder and louder, until the soldiers and civilians inside and outside Youzhou City all heard the emperor's imperial edict clearly and truly.
