After receiving the emperor's order, two executioners in red vests dragged Li Peier to the highest position in the city tower, ensuring that all the soldiers lined up under the city could see it with their heads raised. Then they suddenly raised their shaky butcher knife, raised their swords and fell down, and cleanly cut off Li Peier's head. Then the soldiers guarding the city hung the flagpole and hung them high.

The flagpole on the head is still sprinkling blood. Under the scorching sun, it is very vivid, very creepy and terrifying.

In an instant, the entire city tower was filled with a breath of death.

After killing a family member of the Li family, Wu Zetian seemed to be feeling a little better and began to bargain with Li Baide: "Li Baide, if you stop fighting now, surrender, and tie your back to the city gate with your unscrupulous son Wu Dan, I can spare your life!"

Li Baide outside the city saw his son's head hanging bloody on the flagpole of the city tower, his face turned pale, his heartache was as painful as a knife, his hands were covering his heart, and he couldn't say a word.

Guo Xiangcheng, who was standing on the other side of Li Dan, raised his hand and pointed at Wu Zetian on the city tower, shouting loudly:

"Wu Meiniang, do you still recognize me, Guo Xiangcheng? We have already dedicated all our wealth to the Tang Dynasty. This will not only not scare us, but will arouse our stronger fighting spirit! Our Lord is thinking of fighting with you and your mother, so when the troops are at the city, you will give you a chance to atone for your sins. If you insist on your own actions and become enemies with the Tang Dynasty, and when we conquer Shendu, there will be no mother and son, and all Wubians, including you, will suffer! At that time, it will be too late to regret your heartbreak!"

Of course, Guo Xiangcheng's words were also conveyed by the treble sergeant.

"You traitor who is cut into pieces!" Seeing Guo Xiangcheng, Wu Zetian was furious, but he had no way to retaliate against him immediately, because she did not have the control of his family, so she could only angrily issue an order: "Behead one of Li Baide's family and hang it on the flagpole!"

"Slow!" Guo Xiangcheng hurriedly raised his hand and shouted loudly, then turned his hand behind him and pointed it behind him as his hands pointed, the soldiers arranged behind him separated to both sides. A white horseman appeared from the other side.

"Wu Meiniang, look at who this person is?" Guo Xiangcheng asked loudly in a very ironic tone.

Wu Zetian squinted his eyes hard and looked down at the city tower. He saw a man riding on a white horse, wearing a red cassock and a bare head. The bald head was shining under the sun, shining and particularly conspicuous.

Almost everyone on the city tower recognized that the bald head riding on a white horse was the emperor who was in love with the sun and the fake monk Xue Huaiyi?

At this moment, the most elegant monk in the world was tied to the horse's back by a rope and became a captive, or hostage, Li Baide.

"Your Majesty save me!" Xue Huaiyi opened his voice and shouted loudly in an extremely hoarse voice.

"Wu Meiniang, this dragon monk Xue Huaiyi is your old friend. I think you should have a deep kindness. If you are still attached to the joy of the past, you might as well use all the families in the Li family. No, plus the families in the Cheng family and Cao family to exchange them." Guo Xiangcheng suggested loudly.

"Don't think about it!" Wu Zetian immediately refused. The families of Li Cheng and Cao's three mansions were her best punching bag. How could she agree to exchange it? She knew how much kindness Xue Huaiyi still had in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have sent him to the enemy's army.

In fact, Xue Huaiyi became an abandoned son from the moment he was sent as Li Baide's military commander.

To put it bluntly, this is a strategy called killing people with a knife.

With a "click", another family member in Li's mansion was beheaded and a flagpole was hung on his head.

"Ouch~" Li Baide screamed in pain, spit out a mouthful of blood, fell off his horse, and fainted immediately.

"Xue Huaiyi, you see that Wu Meiniang has no kindness to you. You can immediately make Wu Meiniang's scandal come out! Otherwise, you will be killed on the spot!" Guo Xiang showed his fierce appearance and threatened Xue Huaiyi.

I originally thought that I could be the commander of the army of 100,000, and the emperor was far away. I could be happy every day, but I didn’t know that after only one day of happiness, I fell into the abyss and was imprisoned in the military camp. Xue Huaiyi felt that he was too sad and too cruel, and he wanted to die.

Originally, Xue Huaiyi had a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that Wu Zetian would find a way to save him. Now, seeing that Wu Zetian did not care about his life at all, his hope in his heart was completely shattered, so he had no worries. In order to survive, he immediately read the insulting Wu Zetian after being beaten in prison and said:

"You are a seventy-year-old cow, but you like to pretend to be young and eat tender grass. You are the first woman in ancient and modern times!"

"You look like gold and jade on the outside, but you are a shabby and shabby old and torn melon inside!"

"You practice the technique of replenishing and replenishing day and night, absorbing the essence of people, and killing many handsome men. You are a thousand-year-old fox demon wearing a human form!"

......

Xue Huaiyi, the head of the army, appeared in person and told Wu Zetian unscrupulously about the scandal of Wu Zetian. Many of the things involved secrets and details were as ugly as they were. For many soldiers, it was the first time they heard it, and he said it vividly, making people feel as if they were immersed in the scene.

The soldiers and ministers at the scene, whether they were anti-military or protecting the military, understood and burst into laughter after hearing these extremely dirty words.

The female officials and palace maids surrounded by Wu Zetian were all so embarrassed that they could not raise their heads after hearing this. You should know that these female officials and female officials were very young, and some of them had not experienced personnel and affairs. They knew that they knew about such things, but they had never heard of them in public. It was simply horrifying to hear people preaching like this.

Wu Zetian was extremely embarrassed and angry, and her face turned dark. Fortunately, she was the supreme emperor. No one dared to say anything to her in the city. Even if she showed it in her eyes, she would dare not to complain in secret. Otherwise, she would be ashamed and would find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

"Come on, shoot this thief on the spot!" Wu Zetian immediately gritted his teeth and ordered with trembling all over his body.

Whoosh~

The soldiers guarding the city were holding bows and arrows in their hands. After hearing the order, they immediately fired arrows outside the city.

There were at least two thousand arrows, like a horizontal rain curtain, pouring towards the position outside the city, scaring Xue Huaiyi from the horse.

However, the arrows fell to the ground halfway through and pierced in the middle of a position that was at least four hundred steps away from Xue Huaiyi.

This time, Xue Huaiyi cursed even more happily! Of course, it was not that he was scolding alone, but that there were many soldiers who, under his leadership, cursing loudly.

"Change the strong crossbow!" Wu Zetian's mouth twitched.

The arrow shot from the powerful crossbow is more than two hundred steps away from Xue Huaiyi.

"Use winch crossbow!"

Winch crossbows need to be fired from the crossbow platform, and several crossbow platforms are also built on the city tower.

Several guards of the prison guards lifted a pair of winch crossbows from the Tibetan soldiers building on the city tower and set it on the crossbow platform.

The so-called winch crossbow, apart from the crossbow platform, is just an enlarged slingshot. The thick crossbow string is fixed on the bulge of the crossbow platform. The three guards work together to pull the crossbow string. The crossbow arrow is like a flagpole, about 15 feet long. When it is shot, it is like a gun, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air. When it lands, it is still a hundred steps away from Xue Huaiyi, but it is also a hundred steps away from it!

This kind of winch crossbow has no accurate point and is a purposeless attack weapon. If the arrangement of Li Baide's army is close to the city wall, it will definitely be able to shoot someone, but it is impossible to shoot a specific person.

"Your Majesty, please allow the last general to lead troops out of the city and kill the rebels!" General Wu Youxu, General Qin Buxiong, General Qin Buxiong, and General Li Duozuo, General of Yulin Guard, could not bear to listen and asked for battle.

Wu Zetian waved her hand, but she did not allow it. Although she was very angry, she still kept a calm mind. Our army was newly defeated and the rebels had a royal heir in their hands. The situation was extremely unfavorable to us. If we go out rashly and fight was not good, it would inevitably endanger the security of the Shendu and even the imperial palace, and the situation would then fall to an uncontrollable point.

At this time, Wu Zetian thought of the crossbow cart built by Zhang Lin. The power of this crossbow cart was once said by Zhang Lin that the range was more than 800 steps. Once the crossbow arrow was released, it would definitely shoot the arrogant and rude thieves under the city to death.

"Qiu Shuang, where is the crossbow cart made by Gang Liehou?" Wu Zetian turned his head and asked Qiu Shuang beside him.
