Chapter 238: Surprise
Wei Ming saw Zhu Ciyi squinting his eyes at Tang Yinbrown, who was slowly but constantly approaching the top of the mountain, and couldn't see through what this young prince who had mastered half of the sky in Dongyuan was thinking at this time.
In his experience, when facing the enemy, it is nothing more than a long-distance battle with a crossbowman, and the spears of the defensive shield wall complement each other in the battle, and then the two armies meet each other in hand-to-hand combat.
However, with thousands of soldiers and horses blocking the way of one person, such a battle was the first time in his life.
As King Xin stood on the top of this Jiamen Pass Mountain, he was full of thoughts that what he was going to face was not only thousands of troops but also a group of elite troops, but when the person under the moon approached alone, it really shocked his heart.
But when he turned to look at King Xin, he saw the cautious and gloomy look on the other party's face, and then he was sure that the three thousand soldiers and horses were going to fight against the lonely person in front of him.
At this time, the soldiers and horses of the five roads had been broken in an instant, but Tang Yinbrown was still unharmed, Wei Ming realized that this person's sword was even more terrifying than thousands of horsemen.
The posture of the man who regarded thousands of iron-armored scimitars as if they were nothing and rushed forward all the way was clearly aimed at King Xin - the truth of capturing thieves and capturing kings was not only understood by the person surnamed Tang.
But his proposal to ask the prince to temporarily withdraw from this cusp was ruthlessly rejected by the other party, Wei Ming was full of worry, but he couldn't talk about it, and when he was anxious, he heard King Xin's words slowly come into his ears.
"Order, the two thousand soldiers and horses hidden outside the city immediately rushed to the west city gate, and made every effort to arrest Zhao Chengru and Xin Zi."
This was the first command from King Xin's mouth since he went up the mountain, and Wei Ming, who had lost his way in the night fog, suddenly saw the light on the lighthouse, and turned his head down gratefully, treating it as if it were a holy decree.
Outside the West City Gate, Zhao Chengru stayed in front of Xin Zima after watching Tang Yinbrown leave, and never left half a step.
There are 500 soldiers and horses behind him, all of whom are the elite who have been selected to defend the city, and if they are dispatched, they will definitely be able to fight, and although their strength is a big difference compared to Tang Yinhong, they also boast that they are the second in Tokyo City, and no one dares to object.
This kind of formation could have been used to help Tang Yin break through the formation of that pass, but now he was asked by his close friend to use all of it to protect the safety of Miss Xin behind him, which made him feel a little empty and depressed with nowhere to vent his enthusiasm.
But he has always acted cautiously, and he has great trust in Tang Yinbrown.
Since the other party proposed to protect Xin Zi's safety wholeheartedly, he unconditionally believed Brother Tang's judgment and swore to protect Xin Zi's safety to the death, even if he faintly felt that there was a bit of a fuss in his heart.
With his hands clasped in front of his chest, holding the embroidered spring knife in his arms, leaning on the side of the jujube red horse, he looked into the distance boredly, listening carefully to the shouts and the sound of weapons colliding from time to time, judging Tang Yinbrown's battle situation, Zhao Chengru almost forgot his duty at the moment.
Fortunately, the name of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who has done countless shady deeds for the emperor for many years, is not in vain, and the three points of vigilance that he has always maintained in his heart made him immediately feel the sound of hurried horses' hooves faintly coming from both sides of the city wall.
He straightened up with a blank look.
The brocade-clothed guards who had followed him for many years sensed the subtle changes in Zhao's command, and immediately drew their swords and entered a state of combat readiness.
Seeing the bright blade of the brocade guard, he realized that the situation was different, and the black cavalry troops of the Guards followed closely behind, reorganizing the formation and preparing to meet the enemy.
Zhao Chengru turned around and stretched out his hand to Xin Zi and said, "Sister-in-law, please get off the horse and avoid it." "If there are really thousands of people as I preliminarily judged, Xin Zi will definitely become the target of public criticism when he is sitting on a horse now.
Xin Zi nodded, and was obediently helped off the horse by Zhao Chengru.
Seeing that her face was extremely poor, knowing that she was only afraid that her body would be weak and weak at the moment when she was recovering from a serious illness, Zhao Cheng ordered his five hundred men to set up a formation to meet the enemy, and he personally supported Xin Zi to take shelter after the relatively hidden rocks on the side.
Thousands of iron tools pressed over in an instant, rolling up a puff of dust.
The temporary army formed by the fusion of the 500 Jinyi Guards and the Praetorian Guards, who had just begun to adapt to mutual cooperation against the enemy and was still in the run-in period, had just set up a unified external formation, and was surrounded by troops far outnumbered by themselves.
Outside the West City Gate, the battle is about to break out.
On the peak of Jiamen Pass, Wei Ming replied: "It has been dispatched, and Zhao Chengru has brought five hundred men and horses to resist stubbornly. β
King Xin nodded and asked, "What are the odds of winning?" β
Wei Ming is the old man in front of King Xin, he is no stranger to this young Jinyi Guard commander, and he also has a lot of contact with the Praetorian Guard under Yan Chaoyang, these two groups of people are now almost one, although it really surprised the officials and people in Tokyo, Wei Ming still knows that he still has the ability to judge the combat effectiveness of this mixed army.
"We have an advantage in numbers, and Zhao Chengru's people are all elites out of a hundred, but the two armies are facing each other, and the victory or defeat is five or five. It's just that...... That Xin Zi was protected by Zhao Chengru, and all the troops we guarded outside the city gate were used to compete with the five hundred men and horses, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to divide the spare strength to capture the woman named Xin Zi. β
Zhao Chengru's force value Wei Ming is clear, the guards in Tokyo City Chaoyang Jinyi Chengru, the two right-hand men beside Emperor Gaotian, except for Tang Yinbrown, who suddenly appeared on the mountainside, has long been beyond the scope of ordinary people, there is no better force in the entire capital.
But in the face of Wei Ming's embarrassment, King Xin smiled freely, and said with a look of a bamboo in his chest: "There is no need to worry about this, this king has his own arrangements, then Zhao Chengru betrayed this king once, I will definitely not let him be proud for the second time." β
Wei Ming, the conspiracy and ruthlessness of his master's conspiracy and means, was deeply touched, and since King Xin said so at this time, he naturally didn't worry about the battle situation outside the West City Gate, but looked at the figure who was approaching a little bit at his feet.
"Tang Yinbrown, what should I do with this person?"
King Xin's eyes became solemn, and his gaze turned from Tang Yinyan, who had climbed halfway up the mountain, to the open land outside Jiamen Pass, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.
I don't plan and can't take Tang Yinbrown's life, otherwise I will lose everything.
But having such an awareness does not mean that Tang Yinhao, who seems to have no god of war, also has the same concerns in his heart, looking at his decisive almost suicidal fighting style, he is obviously ready to fight with himself and break the net.
His imperial uncle, who holds the power of the Tiger Talisman, said a few days ago that he would give him a surprise, when will it be fulfilled? Don't you have to wait for your life to return to the west before you can come?
King Xin smiled bitterly, then retracted his smile, and frowned to carefully identify the movement in the westβon the distant horizon, a group of black figures were faintly swarming in. (To be continued.) )
