My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 1400 Boost morale
Li Baiyu resisted all opinions and vetoed the persuasion of civil and military officials, rode out of the palace under the guard of a hundred top insiders, and rushed towards the outer city wall of the capital.

Looking at the empty street, Li Baiyu sighed silently.

This place was supposed to be the most prosperous place in the whole world, with an endless stream of business travelers and people.

The streets and alleys are full of hawkers, a scene of a prosperous dynasty.

But now because of the sudden rebellion of the five kings, the place that should have been the most prosperous in the world has become sparsely populated.

Occasionally, some strong men appeared on the street, holding rice bags in their arms, looking around cautiously, quickly hiding in the alleys and rushing towards the door.

Without exception, relatively strong young people appeared on the streets.

Li Baiyu felt a little bitter in his heart, the people had already started hoarding food.

They may support their orthodox throne, but they don't think they can keep the capital from being invaded by rebels.

In the eyes of the common people, there is no opinion of whether the soldiers of the government are not the soldiers of the government. They only know that the rebel army of the five kings outside the city has a total of 40 soldiers and horses, while the imperial guards in the capital are only 13, plus [-] military guards from the city patrol. There are only [-] soldiers and horses.

13 versus 40, the common people will subconsciously choose 40.

Even though there are only about 15 elites outside the city, the common people don't care about these.

"Even the common people don't think that I can defend the imperial city. I really failed."

The Ouchi guards and the regular guests silently looked at Li Baiyu, who looked a little gloomy.

"Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. If you say something disrespectful, Your Majesty's ascension to the throne is short, and the prestige in the hearts of the people is not as deep-rooted as the previous emperor."

"As long as the rebellion is assessed this time, His Majesty's prestige will be greatly enhanced in the hearts of the people."

"Water drop wears stone, not a day's work."

"If your majesty wants to be like the late emperor, there is still a long way to go."

Li Baiyu tightly held the Tianzijian in his hand and nodded: "I understand, let's go to the south gate first."

"Order."

Unworthy of Banzhuxiang Kung Fu, Li Baiyu boarded the city wall of the south gate of the capital under the protection of a hundred inner guards.

Guan Ninghou Lu Tao, who was arranging fortifications, heard the message from the guards, and hurried towards the city gate stairs to meet him.

"The minister Lu Tao welcomes His Majesty."

"Guan Ninghou, the most important thing is to defend the city, don't stick to the etiquette, get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, the city wall is not safe. How did your Majesty get here if you didn't sit and guard the palace? Once the rebels attack the city and arrows flood the sky, I can't take your majesty's safety into consideration. If your majesty's dragon body is injured, I will die. .”

"Your Majesty, go back to the palace. Not only will your hands and feet be tied up here, but you will also have no way to explain to your colleagues in the court."

Li Baiyu glanced at Liang Ying's rebel camp outside the city, narrowing his eyes and shaking his head.

"Guan Ninghou, you four old lovers are fighting for the country, how can I just sit and guard the palace."

"I want to defend the city with you and inspire the morale of the three armies."

"Don't worry, I live above the city tower, and I will never interfere with your commanding the defense of the soldiers."

"I know that I don't have much experience in fighting. I just want to be with the soldiers."

"Let the rebellious officials and thieves outside the city see that the emperor they rebelled against is not a cowardly and cowardly king."

"Don't worry about defending the city, I'm going up!"

"This"

Guan Ninghou Lu Tao was still a little hesitant, because Li Baiyu's status was really extraordinary, if something happened to him, how could he command the soldiers to defend the city with peace of mind.

Seeing Lu Tao's hesitant face, Li Baiyu straightened his chest and took out the Chuan Guo Yuxi and held it in his hand.

"Guan Ninghou Lu Tao listens to the order!"

Lu Tao was startled and hurriedly knelt down on one knee.

"Minister Lu Tao listens to the order."

"This time, I will personally lead the expedition and live in the city tower to supervise the battle. If unfortunately I encounter a stray arrow, Lu Aiqing does not need to be disturbed, and she can guard the city with peace of mind."

"I can die in battle, but the city must not be lost."

Lu Tao shook his body, looked at Li Baiyu's resolute face and nodded silently.

"Veteran Lu Tao leads the order."

Li Baiyu nodded heavily, I have climbed to the top of the tower to watch the battle, you can continue to lay out the fortifications.

"The old minister obeys the order."

As Li Baiyu boarded the city wall, the news that the emperor's imperial conquest had personally boarded the city gate spread like wildfire.

More than 2 imperial guards on the city wall of the south gate knelt on one knee and saluted Li Baiyu in unison.

"Long live my emperor, long live!"

"Long live my emperor, long live!"

Li Baiyu glanced at the high morale, and the soldiers of the Imperial Guard who were not intimidated by the 40 rebels outside the city slowly climbed up to the high platform under the tower.

"All officers and men are exempt from courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Soldiers, I'm being polite, thank you for defending the city for the country."

"The vassal king has no morals, so he suddenly raised his troops, rebelled and deceived the king to do immoral actions."

"This act of disrupting the country, the people and gods are all angry, and the heaven and the earth can be punished. I am enthroned as a great treasure, and I am not ready for the battle."

"Thank you soldiers for fighting the rebellion for the country."

"I have a golden mouth, and I swear here."

"Those who cut down the heads of rebels and less than ten people will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. Those who have official positions will be promoted to one level, and those who have no official positions will be promoted."

"Whoever beheads 20 or less rebels will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and be promoted to three ranks."

"Whoever kills more than 50 and [-] rebels will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver and become a noble."

"Whoever kills the heads of hundreds of rebels will be granted the residence of Boci."

"Capture Li Baihong, Li Yunlong, Li Yunping, Li Qing, and Li Zhizhe alive, and reward him with ten thousand taels of gold and ten thousand households!"

"For those who died in the war for the country, their descendants will inherit the military exploits, become nobles, be named uncles, add ten thousand households and marquises, and the pension will be doubled."

"I personally supervise the battle in this battle, and rewards will be given for meritorious service."

"The time has come for you to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds."

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while, let me see your skills."

"The imperial guards will bring peace to the world."

"I am with you."

As Li Baiyu's words spread throughout the city gates, shouts suddenly burst out from all over the city walls, and morale reached an unprecedented height.

"Long live, long live, long live."

"Kill the enemy and make meritorious service, kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds."

The sudden shout stunned the rebels who were repairing outside the city, and subconsciously looked over the city wall of the capital.

I don't know why such a deafening shout of killing suddenly came from the city wall that had been quiet all along.

The people in the city also opened their windows and looked around. They felt an unparalleled fighting spirit from the city wall covering the outer city, the inner city, and the imperial city.

Looking at the map in the big tent, the four Li Bohong brothers who made the siege plan frowned, their pupils shrank tightly, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the capital.

There are some bad thoughts in my heart.

Things seem a little unexpected.

Only the fourth son, Li Yunping, was still calmly sitting on a chair beside him, drinking tea gently.

A posture that has nothing to do with oneself and hangs high.

No one knew what Li Yunping was thinking.

The shouts on the city wall gradually subsided, and Li Baiyu slowly climbed up the tower and looked outside the city.

The regular customer handed the binoculars to Li Baiyu with a wink.

Li Baiyu held up the binoculars and looked around.

Seeing Fa Wudao above the banners of the rebel camp, the banner on the side of the Qing emperor frowned slightly.

"Hmph, I really want to be a rebel and want to set up my own memorial archway."
