Two hours later! Dongfang Zhi used the fastest speed to assemble all the troops! Thirty thousand city defense troops, twenty thousand forbidden troops, plus more than ten thousand family private soldiers. Sixty thousand troops marched towards Xuanwumen in a mighty manner.
Of course, it is difficult to attack by force, it will only increase casualties, and it may not be possible to successfully capture Xuandemen. The most effective and simplest method is to surround Xuandemen tightly without attacking or attacking, and waste the food in the palace. Almost exhausted.
This soldier is not made of iron. How can he fight without food and when he is hungry? Now! You can see that the soldiers on the Xuanwu Gate looked majestic and high-spirited. After being hungry for a few days, no matter how loyal you are, your loyalty will change.
And they have plenty of food, so they are not afraid of running out!
certainly! The only thing Dongfangzhi didn't expect was that Wang Mingzhang would send someone to send out the emergency letter three days ago.
As long as Dongfangzhi is willing to wait, then! This one-sided situation will gradually tilt towards Wang Mingzhang.
do not forget! King Qi and King Qin, as long as one of these two kings dares to come, the rebel army will naturally fall apart.
Do you really think that the reputations the two kings built on the battlefield are of no use at all?
"hiss!"
Dongfang Zhi stood on horseback outside Xuande Gate, staring at Wang Mingzhang and other generals who were closing the door with slanting light. This is polite! He had been waiting for several years. If Emperor Xuanwu had strangely abdicated, things would not have reached this level.
The corner of his mouth tilted slightly, "Wang Mingzhang, Wang Dashima, we haven't seen you for a long time! Your old body is still as strong as ever? I just don't know! Can your old trembling hands still be able to hold weapons?"
Wang Mingzhang was not angry, and said calmly: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Although the junior general is over forty, he is still strong and strong, and is no worse than the general."
"It's just! The general just can't figure it out. Sooner or later, this throne will belong to your prince, but why? He still does such a treasonous thing!"
With sudden anger, Wang Mingzhang's tone was extremely sharp and furious, like sharp thorns piercing Dongfang Zhi's heart.
Dongfang Zhi's face was almost distorted, "The throne... will be mine sooner or later! Hahaha~"
"It's really ridiculous!"
"Wang Mingzhang! Whether this throne belongs to the crown prince, the King of Qi, or the King of Qin has not yet been determined! If you and others hadn't been aggressive, I wouldn't have taken such a big risk."
"In that old guy's heart! There is no such thing as me as the prince at all. If this continues, I should be deposed as the prince."
Are you really crazy?
I can't say that my skills are inferior to others.
nature! At this point, Wang Mingzhang and Dongfang Zhi had nothing to talk about.
"Okay! In this case, the general has nothing to say to the prince, but the general reminds the prince that the sword has no eyes. If the prince accidentally breaks, don't blame the general for committing the crime?" Wang Mingzhang's tone was sharp, as if Like a sharp arrow, it pierces directly into the heart.
Crackling!
There was a crisp sound of bones, like the sound of firecrackers, "What a Wang Mingzhang, so courageous and calm. If Liu Wenlong hadn't inherited the position of general, this old guy would have been a good killer on the battlefield."
Under the profound gaze, Dongfang Zhi slowly retreated.
And this time! Both armies had forgotten that there was another army that could determine the outcome of this battle.
After leaving, the generals Wei Daiyan and the generals of chariots and cavalry came out. They led an army of 100,000 people and divided them into two armies, the left and right, to watch the Xiongnu outside. General Shi Wenlong, as a neutral faction, ignored the affairs in the palace.
because! The army in his hands is the real elite of Dawu, with 5,000 Shenji Battalions, Imperial Artillery, and 15,000 soldiers, of course! It's good for them in melee combat. Naturally, they're not strong in melee combat. What's strong is the firearms in their hands.
in addition! Dawu's strongest elite divisions, Feilong Army, Feihu Army, Wuwei Camp, 30,000 troops, are all in Liyanghu City, dozens of miles outskirts, to be honest! All soldiers in this great force can be mobilized, but these soldiers and horses cannot be mobilized without the emperor's personal instructions.
certainly! The prince was in charge of the emperor, and he could also falsely pass on the imperial edict and transfer these soldiers and horses back to the city. But if you want to transfer back the Feilong Army, Feihu Army, and Wuwei Camp, you must pass through Yanghucheng. With Liu Wenwen's suspicion, he will definitely become suspicious and ask the matter clearly.
The transfer of the Flying Dragon Army, the Flying Tiger Army, and the Wuwei Battalion is a big deal. If they are transferred back to the Imperial Capital like this, this is not an explanation! Is there something wrong in the court?
By then! After Liu Wenwen inquired about it, he found that the prince's rebellion was not to dig a hole for himself.
"Send the order! The army will be stationed immediately. No one is allowed to move forward to Xuandemen without my order." Dongfang Zhi ordered.
"promise!"
The soldiers shouted.
The prince's ability to lead troops is quite good.
now! The morale of Wang Mingzhang's soldiers is so strong, attack now! Failure to tackle key problems will only result in more casualties.
And in the afternoon, Zhang Mu, the general under Dongfangzhi, personally led the troops, and Guo Jiang sat behind the army, launching the first attack on Xuandemen.
Wang Mingzhang, Jiang Li and other generals, according to the special geographical location of Xuandemen, defended separately, and launched an attack on the rebels with a condescending attitude.
Sharp arrows were shot at the enemy with extremely sharpness. In such a narrow place, Wang Mingzhang's archers could hardly exert their influence, while the rebels, holding their shields, were snapping in bursts. The arrow hit the shield and made a crisp sound as it moved forward quickly.
that's all! The battle between the two armies to seize and defend the pass also started immediately with bloodshed. The two armies fought fiercely and cruelly, no less brutally than on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition. The battle lasted until sunset, and both armies suffered losses.
But corpses were piled up like hills, mixed with blood, like streams of blood.
In the next two days, the battle between Prince Dongzhi and Wang Mingzhang never stopped. The defenders of Xuandemen were defending to the death. Dongfang Zhi originally thought of encircling them instead of attacking them, but Wang Mingzhang's words immediately gave up his thoughts.
If you dare to despise me, I will call you.
The two armies lost more than 10,000 men and horses in total.
As for the 800-mile express, it reaches Beiliang first. Compared with Beiliang, it only needs to cross one state, but to go to Luzhou, it takes two states in the middle.
Prince Qin’s Mansion…
"Urgent report from the capital, Grand Sima Wang Mingzhang, there is an urgent order to send to the King of Qin!"
"Urgent report from the capital, Grand Sima Wang Mingzhang, there is an urgent order to send to the King of Qin!"
The soldiers guarding the city gate immediately made way for Eight Hundred Miles Battle Report.
Ensure smooth flow.
"Get out of the way, it's about the safety of Wu State, I want to see King Qin!"
…
Eight Hundred Miles was in a hurry. This was the first time Xu Meng had seen Eight Hundred Miles in a hurry. It was so urgent.
Xu Meng squatted on his back, supported the soldier, and said, "I am the military advisor of King Qin. Can you tell me what happened in the capital?"
The soldier was also exhausted and said: "The emperor is imprisoned, and the prince launched the Xuandemen Incident! The matter is urgent..."
"Take me quickly to see His Highness King Qin..."
