The original intention of setting up the Chunan General's Mansion was to check and balance the Xianma Kingdom. In the past hundred years, Xian Ma Kingdom has been in dire straits and its people have been in dire straits, so it is impossible to endanger the border of southeastern China. Therefore, Ou Luhai has been almost in retirement for the past five years as General Chu Nan.
As a military general, he should retire at the age of sixty. If he hadn't received a secret letter from his son-in-law, Ou Luhai would have been preparing to leave his armor and return to the fields to take care of himself.
The three kings all died in January, and the news had already spread throughout Dahua, even the remote place of Chunan County was no exception. Among the princes of the current dynasty, only Prince Yun was a prince, and not long ago he went to Zhenwu Temple to worship heaven on behalf of the emperor. At present, Emperor Yonghua is critically ill, and he is the best candidate for succession in terms of etiquette and law.
"Prince Jia's Mansion, Duke Xuan's Mansion and General Baima's Mansion secretly contacted the courtiers and planned to usurp the throne by launching troops to dissuade the emperor while he was critically ill." Ou Luhai kept thinking about the letter Xia Muyan gave him, "Prince Yun's Mansion was originally not as powerful as Jia. With the help of the Royal Palace and the father and son of the Ran family, even though King Yun takes the lead in etiquette, he will definitely not be able to defeat them. Hum, although I, Ou Luhai, don’t like to get involved in the struggle for imperial power, I will never allow anyone to bully my daughter and son-in-law. ! It’s just that you Xia Chengxuan moved out of the Xuanguo Duke’s mansion, but you dared to mobilize people from the Baima Army Camp. Do you really think you are the only one in the Ran family’s army? If you want to send troops to remonstrate, you have to ask me, General Chu Nan, if I will agree!"
Although he is one of the few generals in the Great Chinese Army, he considers himself an honest man and would never bully others, even if he suffered small losses, he would never take it to heart. However, if someone wants to seize the throne belonging to his son-in-law through the power of the military, he will never give up.
"General, Crown Prince Zhi has asked for an audience. He has arrived outside the tent at this moment." The soldiers of General Chu Nan's Mansion walked to Ou Luhai and reported Zheng Sheng. Xia Chengcan is the emperor's direct grandson and has a very high status. He showed his credentials and wanted to see Ou Luhai. These soldiers did not dare to stop him, so they had to walk over quickly to report the news.
"Prince Zhi?" Ou Luhai thought he heard wrongly. He knew that Xia Chengcan had been at the Pinan post before.
The massacre of the city in Beiye was more widely spread than the death of the three kings. As a border guard general, he naturally knew about it.
"Yes, General." The soldier lowered his head and replied with a firm voice.
Although Xia Muyan is his son-in-law, it is Xia Muyang who Ou Luhai admires and admires the most, and who thinks he should inherit the throne the most, "His Royal Highness King Zhi is brave on the outside, wise on the inside, proud but not arrogant, strict but not harsh , if he can inherit the unification, the great power of the country can be expected." For this reason, he naturally had a better impression of Xia Chengcan. Hearing that he came to find him, although he didn't know the reason, he hurriedly left.
Like, so similar.
At the first sight of Xia Chengcan, Ou Luhai found that his appearance was very similar to that of young Xia Muyang.
"Prince Chengxuan!"
"General Ou!"
... ...
Hu Huiming was awakened by a cry of killing. As soon as he got out of bed and put on his robe, the door to his room was kicked open. Before he understood what happened, he was pushed to the ground, his hands were tied, and he was led to the garden.
"Mother! Second brother! Third brother! Sister!" When he arrived at the garden, he discovered that all his relatives except his father were being held hostage. He couldn't help but said angrily, "Where are you thieves from? How dare you break into Pingchang without permission? Earl's Mansion! Let us go quickly, otherwise this matter will never be rectified!"
Qingji slapped him until he was dizzy, and then scolded him coldly: "You bitch, you are just as annoying as your bastard father! Try opening your mouth again. If you dare to say another word, I will I’ll kill someone in your house!”
After hearing this,
Hu Huiming's opened mouth froze in astonishment, and he felt anxious, angry, surprised, angry, and scared. He knew that the old man in front of him was definitely not joking. If he dares to say a word, he will really kill someone in the house. Thousands of curse words had to be swallowed back silently.
When the soldiers and guards of the Earl of Pingchang's mansion saw that their master had been restrained, they couldn't help but resort to fear. They surrounded the courtyard and did not dare to take action again.
"Hu Xiu'an's three wives, seven sons, two daughters, and two grandsons have all been captured!" A guard from Prince Jaw's Mansion came to report, holding a rope in his hand, and the other end of the rope was tied to Hu Xiu'an's Two beautiful concubines.
"Okay, take it outside the house!" Qing Ji nodded slightly and ordered in a deep voice.
The family members of the Earl of Pingchang's Palace took over, and the matter was settled. After all, they wanted to blackmail Hu Xiu'an, and his wife and children were more useful than his father and brother.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived outside the house, he saw Xue Xiaoman leading a group of people to greet him. Behind him were more than twenty people, old and young, tied up.
"Xue Xiaoman, is it so smooth for you?" Qing Ji opened his eyes and asked with a smile.
"Capture the thief first and capture the king first. I captured Hu Fengju as soon as I entered. It's useless no matter how many masters he has in his house." Xue Xiaoman laughed.
"Without further delay, let's go back quickly. Maybe Hu Xiu'an has already brought someone there." Qing Ji said to everyone in a deep voice.
He was the leader of Xia Chengxuanding, so these people naturally followed his name. A group of people dragged six to seventy members of the Xu family towards the Prince Jia's Mansion.
... ...
The Hedgehog Formation evolved from the Spiral Shield Formation and the Human Tower Formation. It is a formation commonly used when the army is on the defensive and has very strong defensive power.
Within a quarter of an hour after Hu Xiu'an gave the order, the more than 2,000 people in front of the team formed more than forty hedgehog circles. The second wave of arrows caused almost no damage. The Jin Guards were the Imperial City Guards and received frequent training. Moreover, Hu Xiu'an also learned from King Duan and was quite good at leading troops. Although he was attacked, he did not panic.
"Pour the oil!" Xia Chengxuan ordered in a deep voice while hiding in the alley. The soldiers behind him listened to his order and hurriedly went to deliver the order.
One drum, then three suonas, and then a burst of golden music...
"Brothers, pour the oil!"
"The Chinese Army has summoned us, open the oil barrels!"
"Prince Jaw has issued an order, pour tung oil!"
Within a dozen breaths, more than a thousand barrels of tung oil were poured onto the street, surrounding the gold guards. As far as marching is concerned, the street is already narrow, and now it is trapped by the oil circle, almost like a turtle in a urn.
"The spearmen dig ditches and guide the oil, and the shield hands fill the ditches and cover the oil stains!" Hu Xiu'an's face changed and he shouted loudly.
The first thing that the soldiers feared when gathering troops were arrows and the second was fire. Xia Chengxuan was obviously very good at using soldiers. Hu Xiu'an remained calm in the face of danger, used a hedgehog formation to break the rain of arrows, and also came up with a method of digging trenches to divert oil to resolve the fire attack, which shows his skill in military arts.
If the oil circle is 10%, the more than 20,000 gold guards will probably not be able to save one out of ten, and they will either be trampled to death by the robes or burned to death in the fire. The spearmen on the outside of the formation listened to the military order and tried their best to pry up the bricks on the ground. The shield bearers next to them used their shields as shovels to dig up the sand and bury the oil stains.
Naturally, Xia Chengxuan would not give them enough time. He lit a torch, and for a moment the flames shot into the sky, and they formed a circle intermittently.
"Don't panic! Dig bricks, dig trenches, and block the fire!" Hu Xiu'an shouted hurriedly when he saw that the formation was starting to loosen.
"Hu Xiu'an, if you are willing to surrender, you will never
even! "Lu Jianting shouted towards the ring of fire.
This was Xia Chengxuan's distraction plan. On the one hand, he was facing the imminent fire, and on the other hand, he was not as gentle as his family. Even Hu Xiu'an couldn't help but be tempted at this time.
He knew that there was no way to survive what he had done, so it would be a great comfort if he could keep his children safe by surrendering.
"Damn it! How could I end up in such a situation when I was sure of victory!" Hu Xiu'an thought unwillingly, "As long as I break out of this ring of fire, I can capture the Jaw Palace. Why should I die? I want to break out! I don't want to surrender. die!"
His instinct for survival overcame everything else, and he decided to make a desperate move.
"Crossbowman, shoot him to death!" Hu Xiu'an pointed at the direction from which the sound came and shouted. The crossbowmen were good at attack but not good at defense, so they lined up in the middle of the formation. After receiving Hu Xiu'an's order, they drew their bows and fired arrows. For a moment, dense short arrows flew towards the alley where Lu Jianting committed himself.
"Puff~~~Puff~~~Puff~~~Puff~~~" The newly-pierced scarecrow was covered with arrows.
"Hmph, it's disrespectful to come back without reciprocating. Their hedgehog formation has been loosened. Let's fire arrows!" Xia Chengxuan ordered coldly.
Three tones of drums, then three sounds of suona, and then two waves of golden music...
"Your Majesty has an order, fire arrows!"
"It's the order to fire the arrow. Quick, fire the arrow!"
"Your Majesty asked us to fire arrows, hurry up!"
As soon as the singing stopped, there were urgent calls from all directions. The gold guard was trapped in the ring of fire, and the shield bearers stepped forward to shovel earth to stop the fire, and the entire formation relaxed. Xia Chengxuan had already decided on the strategy of arrow attack and fire attack, so he had enough tung oil, bows and arrows. Although there were many soldiers in various prefectures who were not good at shooting, they turned into crossbowmen and fired randomly at the golden guards in the ring of fire.
Although everyone's shooting skills were not good, the damage was not weak at all. The fallen gold guards slowly piled up in the ring of fire.
"Your Majesty, good news. Our people have captured the members of the Hu family. Come here now, they are only five miles away from here." The soldiers from Prince Jia's Mansion sent by Qingji to report the news came to Xia Chengxuan and reported loudly.
"Okay, great!" Xia Chengxuan clapped his hands and laughed. "After all, the Golden Guard is the sharp sword of the imperial court. It is a pity that it has been broken like this." He stood up and asked someone to give the order to suspend the attack.
"Hu Xiu'an, don't resist stubbornly. Your Earl's Palace in Pingchang and Duke Li's Palace have been captured by us, and now our people are escorting your father, brother, wife, children and grandchildren here. You are Do you want them to die in front of you?" Xia Chengxuan shouted towards the ring of fire.
When Xia Chengxuan said that he had captured the Earl's Palace of Pingchang and the Duke of Liguo's Palace, he had lost all hope. How can you fight with someone if your life is caught?
"Clang~~~" Hu Xiuan dropped the sword in his hand weakly and closed his eyes in despair.
... ...
As soon as the people from the Nine Halls rushed into the battlefield, the situation became one-sided. In less than a quarter of an hour, all the defenders were killed.
"Woo~~~" Du Chong personally led people to push open the city gate. Then, they quickly climbed up the tower and beat the war drums on the top of the city.
The war drums sounded and the city gate was broken. This is the secret code agreed between Xia Chengxuan and Xia Jingyu.
When Xia Jingyu heard the sound of drums coming from the tower, his face showed ecstasy and he shouted: "Brothers, the city gate has been broken, come with me and charge!"
