Dressed as the prince's substitute? I took the throne

Chapter 193 Fake Death

Zhou Chuxuan's eyes flashed with anger: "Come on, take me over to have a look."

By the time they arrived at the city wall, countless soldiers on the wall were cursing at the people below.

"You thieves from Liao, are you only capable of attacking the defenseless civilians?"

"Let them go. Come and fight Grandpa if you have the guts."

"Thieves! Shameless thieves! If I had the order, I would go out and kill you all right now."

"..."

Zhou Chuxuan stood on the city wall, took out a telescope, and stared at the people lined up below.

Soon, a glint of understanding flashed in his eyes: "Soldiers, don't panic. These people are not our people at all."

Hu Yongwei immediately turned around and asked, "But Your Highness, how did you make that conclusion?"

Zhou Chuxuan pointed at the clothes of the people below the city wall and patiently explained, "Our people all wear coarse cloth clothes, and because they do manual labor all year round, their clothes are tattered and worn out. They are definitely not as neat and clean as this."

"It's common to have clothes patched all year round. Look at the group of people below. Although their clothes are worn out, they are basically not pale and skinny. You can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary people."

"If they were ordinary people captured by the enemy, how could they be so calm and not shout or scream?"

After analyzing the situation, Hu Yongwei suddenly realized: "Listen up, soldiers! These are all tricks of the Liao army. These people are not our people."

Just below the city wall, Salem Yuan didn't ride his horse, but hid behind two shield soldiers. "Zhou Chuxuan, don't you claim to be the rulers of the people? As the crown prince, do you intend to watch your people being slaughtered by us?"

"I'm telling you, if you don't open the city and surrender, we'll kill a few people every day until we've killed all of them."

Zhou Chuxuan stared at Salem Yuan who was hiding behind the shield soldier and narrowed his eyes slightly.

This guy was quite cunning, unlike Salem Xun before, who rode on a tall horse and shouted loudly, which gave him the opportunity to be shot to death.

He hid behind the shield soldier, and could only hear his voice but not see him.

This made Zhou Chuxuan very angry.

Hu Yongwei, standing by, couldn't help but curse, "You damn Liao thief, stop spouting nonsense! These aren't our people at all. Are you trying to confuse the public with your lies and mislead their minds?"

Salem Yuan sneered and continued, his voice rising: "In order to defend the so-called city gate, you even disregarded the lives of your fellow citizens. It seems that you don't care much about the lives of your own people."

As soon as these words were spoken, the guards on the city wall were more or less shaken, and frequently looked at Zhou Chuxuan and Hu Yongwei, hoping to get the order to attack from them.

However, Zhou Chuxuan had already seen through the Liao army's conspiracy, so how could he let his soldiers go out to die?

After a long pause, Zhou Chuxuan said in a deep voice, "Everyone, get ready! Shoot!"

At a command, countless artillery pieces and AKs were fired together, and shells and bullets whizzed towards the Liao army and the people disguised as civilians.

In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere under the city wall.

The Liao army once again fled back to the camp, leaving behind a large number of corpses.

This time, even Salem Yuan was injured. The two shield soldiers blocking in front were blown away by the aftermath of the artillery shells, and he himself was also affected by the aftermath.

"Well!"

Salem Yuan struggled to come to the military camp, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale, frightening everyone around him. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Young Master, Young Master, how are you?"

Salem Yuan said in a deep voice, "I'm not in the way. Go quickly and spread the news that I'm seriously injured and dying. Make sure to make it a big deal, and then move the camp!"

"Yes!"

Sitting alone in the tent, Salem Yuan's eyes were filled with solemnity. He didn't expect that the opponent's weapon was so powerful. What on earth was this?

"All beings are equal, all beings are equal..." Salem Yuan kept repeating this name, and there was a hint of fear in the depths of his eyes.

In the face of this so-called equality of all beings, it seemed that all their weapons had lost their luster, and this attack resulted in the loss of thousands of soldiers.

"Zhou Chuxuan, you are so cruel that you are willing to take action even at the cost of your own reputation." Salem Yuan punched the ground in front of him fiercely.

"This time, I don't believe you won't be fooled!"

......

"What? Salem Yuan is dead?"

Zhou Chuxuan looked at Hu Yongwei in shock: "General Hu, where did you get this information?"

Hu Yongwei cupped his hands and said, "This was obtained by one of my scout soldiers who went out of the city to gather intelligence!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chuxuan instantly flew into a rage: "General Hu, haven't I emphasized again and again that you are not allowed to leave the city to gather intelligence? No one is allowed to enter or leave the capital right now, why don't you obey my orders?"

Hu Yongwei stammered, "Your Highness, I saw that they suffered heavy casualties today, so I wanted to take advantage of the chaos to find out. Your Highness, I..."

"Your Highness, the enemy commander is dead again. Can we just leave the city and kill the enemy?" Ma Sandao shouted excitedly, "As long as we leave the city now, we will be able to take advantage of the chaos and destroy the last bit of the enemy's spirit!"

Han Bin pondered for a while, then said softly, "Your Highness, although General Hu's actions were somewhat inappropriate, I believe we can send an elite force tonight to give it a try. Didn't you also intend to have General Hu give it a try tonight?"

Zhou Chuxuan pondered for a while and said, "This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy to fake his own death. The purpose is to lure us into a night attack, then set up an ambush around us and catch us all in one fell swoop!"

"And they will send their elite troops to ambush us around the capital. Once we leave the city, they will disguise themselves as our army and capture our city in one fell swoop!"

Zhou Chuxuan had seen this plot countless times in a historical novel, so he would not be fooled easily.

"However, since Salem Yuan wants to have some fun, then I naturally don't mind!"

Zhou Chuxuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile: "Everyone, go back now to prepare the equipment for ignition and prepare to leave the city at night!"

Ma Sandao was instantly overjoyed upon hearing this: "Your Highness, have you finally come to your senses? Great! Tonight, we will kill every last one of these Liao thieves!"

Han Bin quickly gave him a big scolding: "Be quiet and listen to what His Highness has to say."

"I have nothing more to say. I'll have General Murong arrange the rest for you later! Everyone, go down and get ready!"

"Yes!"

Murong Xue, who stayed behind, sensed something different: "Your Highness, are you really going to attack?"
