There are always some variables that are unexpected.
After going through untold hardships, the eldest prince finally arrived at Yiling City. However, this group of people who suddenly jumped out from the mountains seemed not to be welcomed.
The men who went to Yiling City to deliver the news first brought back the news that his sworn brother Lei Hu had died a few days ago to save King Ping. The current owner of Yiling, whose surname is Zhu and whose given name is Yunfei, was originally the deputy general in the city. . However, the deputy general didn't seem to want the eldest prince's troops to enter Yiling City. Instead, he set up a heavy guard five miles away from the city.
"Is this slave going to rebel?"
Seeing his subordinates who came back in a slightly embarrassed state, the eldest prince became angry.
"Your Highness, your Highness, Zhu Yunfei was very domineering and rude. He ridiculed his subordinates, saying that now the princes have been kidnapped, and the iron-barrel-like city of Xiangyang has also fallen into the hands of the British king. If If you are allowed to enter Yiling City again, it does not mean that you will cause trouble. Once the King of England sends a large army to attack, he does not want the people of Yiling City to suffer such an unreasonable disaster!"
The subordinate had a grimace on his face, and his gray nose actually made him very uncomfortable.
"He dares!"
The eldest prince became even more angry.
"Also, Your Highness, he, he said that you can't defend Changsha County, which has a vast territory and a large population. It's true, it's true..."
The subordinates were still hesitating before they finished speaking.
"What is it? Tell me!"
The eldest prince was extremely impatient.
"Then, then, my subordinate will just tell you the truth. He said, you are really a prodigal!"
The subordinate gritted his teeth and finished what he said.
This statement made the eldest prince extremely angry. Huo Di drew his sword and pointed it in the direction of Yiling City.
"Come here, gather your troops quickly and attack Yiling City! Commander Qin, I want you to lead Feihuying as the vanguard. Cut off the pass and seize the general. Do not retreat!"
"promise!"
The Qin Commander of Feihu Camp, a tall and mighty man, immediately stepped out.
After he agreed, how could other generals dare to disobey him? He quickly answered the order in unison.
But Tang Hu felt worried on one side. After finally getting rid of the pursuers, he ended up with such a result. For a moment, he really felt that his future was bleak.
He thought, this Yiling city is just waiting for work, and it also has ten or twenty thousand elite soldiers. How can it be easily broken if it relies on its strength to defend it? And if we can't attack for a long time, we don't know where the eldest prince will go?
"Commander Tang, follow His Highness to the front of the formation to supervise the battle!"
The eldest prince rolled his eyes and saw that Tang Hu seemed hesitant. He thought he was worried about his own safety, so he immediately shouted loudly to cheer everyone up.
"Yes Yes!"
Tang Hu was startled and stood up with his hands raised in agreement.
Therefore, the eldest son, who might be facing enemies from both sides, decided to attack Yiling in one go, thinking that he would find a place to stay.
It didn't take long for the forwards from both sides to exchange hands.
The eldest son, who was so angry that he mobilized troops, pressed the Chinese army with his sword and then advanced. In less than a stick of incense, he broke through Zhu Yunfei's defense line outside the city. Zhu Yunfei's forward battalion had no choice but to fight and retreat. In the end, nearly half of the troops retreated back to Yiling City, blocking the eldest prince's troops outside Yiling City.
"Come here, shout to the city and tell Zhu Yunfei that if he obediently opens the city gate, His Highness will not hold him accountable for his previous mistakes!"
The eldest prince slowly rode his horse and stopped four hundred steps away from Yiling City.
In this battle between the two armies, his Feihu camp was indeed extremely powerful and defeated it in one battle. Therefore, at this time, his posture was particularly arrogant.
However, only he knew that he was really racing against time. If Zhu Yunfei is stubborn to the end and can hold on for a day or two, then he will really have to find a way to escape.
Therefore, his gesture was actually an act, with the intention of deceiving Zhu Yunfei that he might not understand the current situation, and also with the intention of using the power of a small victory to put pressure on Zhu Yunfei.
