As the army got closer and closer to Qingfeng City, the Shui family had already received the news that they had begun to deploy a defensive offensive near the city gate.

The heavy rain has not stopped. Qingfeng City has not been bathed in the sun for several days. Under the torrential rain, there is no inch of hard land.

The gloomy atmosphere made countless soldiers feel uneasy.

Qingfeng City has not been peaceful these days. Since the news of the rebellion of the Eight Princes spread, some nobles have realized that Qingfeng City is about to face a disaster.

Many noble forces who were afraid of death were just about to escape when they were attacked by unknown killers and were instantly destroyed.

Several nobles were destroyed one after another, which made the nobles in Qingfeng City panic and they would never dare to disobey the Shui family again.

They knew in their hearts that it must be the Shui family's move, but they had no choice. If their strength was not as strong as others, it meant that they could only be beaten.

After hesitating, the nobles were forced to lead the elite family members into the city wall and arrange fortifications.

At this moment, there was a regular vibration in Qingfeng City.

The earthquake was like a calm skin drum, being hit regularly...

Countless soldiers wearing bright silver armor appeared on the distant horizon, and could feel the majestic momentum through the rain.

Seeing such a mighty power, some spoiled nobles began to lose their legs.

On the city wall, Shui Qianzhou is worthy of being born in military martial arts. Although he has never experienced a real battlefield, he still has courage.

Faced with such a powerful army, he had no choice but to go all out.

The army rushed forward and stopped a mile outside the city gate. The Eight Prince personally led a cavalry to the gate of Qingfeng City and shouted: "Come here! I am the Eight Prince of the Empire, the general on duty at the gate of Qingfeng City.

Who is it? Open the city gate for me quickly.”

Shui Qianzhou took a step, took off his hat on his head, and said, "When the Qianzhou went into the water, the eight princes led a large army to Qingfeng City. What's the matter? Is it because he wants to attack Qingfeng City? His Highness, but he wants to rebel."

The Eight Prince was shocked and said, "Shui Qianzhou! How could you be above the city gate... You knew that I was coming long ago."

"The prince led a large army and came with pressure. How could this city lord not know?"

"Since that's the case, Shui Qianzhou should not come down quickly to receive the order. I will come with the emperor's will to encircle and suppress the rebellion of the Shui family. Shui Qianzhou... Come down quickly to die."

Shui Qianzhou laughed instead of anger and said, "Hahaha... His Highness Eight Princess is really brave. The ability of the evil people to complain first is really unattainable. Not only is it treason first, but now it is still a lie to pass on the emperor's will. I have never seen it.

By the way, there are such shameless people."

The Eight Princess looked unhappy and said angrily: "Shui Qianzhou, what are you talking nonsense, what are you treason, what are you falsely spreading the decree!"

Shui Qianzhou waved his hand and said, "Come, bring the sinner up."

Shangguan Yuntao and three personal guards were pressed onto the city wall by several people.

When the Eight Prince was furious when he saw his son, he said, "Shui Qianzhou, you dare! You dare to arrest me. You are going to rebel."

Shui Qianzhou didn't care about this, and asked Shangguan Yuntao to recount the news that the Eight Princes and the Jiang family were treasoned together.

Shangguan Yuntao also cooperated very well and told all the "facts" again.

And his voice was loud and his face showed shame. The soldiers who did not know the truth were really moved by him.

The Eight Prince was furious, trembling with his hands, pointed at Shui Qianzhou and said, "You... Shui Qianzhou, I want you to Shui's family, and you will not leave any other children!"

"Bold, a traitor prince actually openly threatens the lord of the Empire City. You don't take the royal family seriously. Come and shoot me such evil thieves!"

The guards bent their bows and shot arrows immediately. The Eight Princes were immediately scared to death and had to escape in panic.

Seeing the Eight Princes escape, Shui Qianzhou shouted: "The Eight Princes treason, and all the nobles of the Empire of the Celestial Dynasty will be killed. All the nobles of our Qingfeng City will kill Shangguan Yuntao to sacrifice the flag and drink blood to form an alliance.

We are in a position to kill the traitors!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and fell, killed Shangguan Yuntao with one sword, and received bloody wine, and sent it to the heads of the noble family, so that they could form a bloody alliance.

As long as they drink this cup, the Eight Prince will never let them go. From now on, they and the Shui family will be grasshoppers on the same rope.

If you don’t drink it, you will probably be killed by Shui Qianzhou on the spot.

Faced with such a dilemma, they had no choice but to drink bloody wine on the spot and fight side by side with the Shui family.

Seeing this scene, Mu Chen showed an admiring look.

The Shui family is worthy of being born in a military rank. The qualities and morale that should be possessed are all qualified.

Although this glass of blood wine cannot completely win people's hearts, it can also make many nobles obedient for the time being.

Prince Eight saw his son being killed and insulted after his death. He was furious and wished he could kill everyone on the city wall.

After returning to the large army, he immediately ordered: "Come here! Bounce for me! I want to kill everyone on the city wall! Kill me."

Qin Guang was a little surprised by Shui Qianzhou's decisive decision, but he didn't take it seriously.

In the face of true strength, any conspiracy is just a foil.

Even if Shui Qianzhou's intention to accuse the Eight Princes was false, it would not affect the overall situation. Two hundred thousand guards and more than one hundred thousand princes' soldiers were fully capable of slaughtering Qingfeng City.

As long as they are killed, history will naturally be written by them.

Qin Guang was a militant and had no interest in chatting with the weak. When the Eight Princes retreated, he had already dispatched archers to line up and start attacking the city walls.

Facing the attack of arrow rain, Shui Qianzhou shouted: "Shield array, go to the shield array."

The soldiers behind him immediately raised their heavy shields and blocked them in front.

The bow and arrow shot into the shield and inserted it directly into it. The thick black iron shield could not stop the enemy's bow and arrow.

Although the bow and arrow can shoot into the shield, fortunately the shield is thick enough, and one or two bows and arrows cannot penetrate the shield completely, but it cannot last long.

Shui Qianzhou was shocked and said, "How could the Eight Princes's soldiers have such powerful bows and arrows!"

Mu Chen picked up a long arrow on the ground, looked carefully, and said, "The tip of the arrow is mixed with black iron, and the arrow shaft is also made of fine iron. It is a top-class bow and arrow. Only the army directly under the royal family can be equipped with such weapons.

, the royal guards came."

"What! The Eight Princes have the help of the Guards."

The Guards are directly under the royal army, and their equipment is naturally the most excellent in the empire. In terms of equipment alone, they are almost the same as the Qianlong Army.

Shui Qianzhou: "Arrower...attack me...quick, fight me."

Mu Chen said helplessly: "What's the use of counterattack now? The opponent is 1,500 meters away from the city wall. Even if he can shoot, it will not cause much damage."

The effective killing distance of ordinary bows and arrows is about 1,000 meters, and beyond this distance, the lethality is limited.

Only the most elite crossbow can shoot from 1,500 meters away and cause effective damage. Of course, the long-range attack distance of the Qianlong Army has long exceeded 3,000 meters.

However, what surprised Mu Chen was that the archers of the Shui family could even hold high-quality crossbows, but the number was a little small, only about a thousand bows.

Mu Chen smiled and said, "Oh, the Shui family is quite wealthy. There are so many such high-quality crossbows."

Shui Qianzhou: "It made Brother Muyu laugh. This batch of high-quality bows took a lot of effort to get it, but the number was too small, which could only serve as a deterrent effect."

With the help of the top bow, the opponent's pace has indeed slowed down, but the effect is not very good.
