Chapter 125: Fighting
Sitting in the side hall of the Deqian Palace, Han Jingyi was very uncomfortable, on the one hand, she was not familiar with those harem masters, and on the other hand, she was worried that His Royal Highness would lead troops to rebel at this time, and the incident would happen suddenly, I don't know if Qi Xiao can deal with it.
Chun'er saw that her face seemed to be bad, and knew that she must not be used to being in the same room with so many people, so she said hello to her father-in-law, and took her to a separate room to rest.
"Girl, take a break here!" Chun'er said.
"No, I don't know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, whether he can transfer troops in time." Han Jingyi shook her head, her face worried.
"Don't worry, girl, Your Highness is wise and martial, this battle will definitely be won." Chun'er was actually worried about death, knowing that His Royal Highness suddenly took advantage of His Majesty's death and led troops to rebel under the defenselessness of His Royal Highness the Prince, which must be a perfect strategy. But she can't panic now, she has to appease the girl, these days everyone can see His Royal Highness the Prince's thoughts about the girl, take care of the girl, His Royal Highness will be less worried, right?
Qi Xiao hurried all the way to the gate of the palace, and assigned tasks to the two generals around him as he went. The two received Qi Xiao's order to change their route halfway to carry it out, and only Murong Ziqiu followed Qi Xiao closely.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Zhang An, the commander of the Praetorian Guard who was guarding the gate of the palace, saw Qi Xiao and hurriedly saluted in surprise.
"How's it going?" Qi Xiao glanced at him coldly and looked out of the palace gate.
"Your Highness, the army led by the eldest prince has surrounded the palace to death, and is about to break into the palace gate. The minister has gathered all the Praetorian Guards to defend the palace gate, but looking at the current situation, we can't go out to find reinforcements, and these 20,000 Praetorian Guards can't reach the 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Great Prince. Zhang An said in a deep voice.
"Resist hard, delay time, reinforcements are outside the city, as long as a stick of incense is good." Qi Xiao said coldly. Fortunately, he had long known that his eldest brother would have this trick, so he had prepared in advance, just in case. Who knows, his imperial brother would choose to raise troops at the same time as his father's death, he should have guessed that his father woke up at this time, and the ministers got the news quickly, all of which were done by his eldest brother, in order to trap those important ministers together, lose their freedom, and let him be at his mercy.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Although Zhang An was curious about why His Highness had such confidence, he couldn't help but ask more questions at this time, so he took the order and hurriedly conveyed it to his Praetorian Guards.
"Ah Xiao, the Shadow has gone to transfer troops. Sooner or later, all this will come, you will understand it a long time ago. Murong Ziqiu saw that Qi Xiao's face seemed to be helpless and sad, knowing that what happened today hit him very hard, although he felt distressed and uncomfortable for him, he had to say something to remind him of his current situation.
"Ziqiu, I know what to do." Qi Xiao exhaled a breath of turbid air and said in a deep voice. After that, he didn't wait for Murong Ziqiu to answer, and walked towards the palace wall. Seeing this, Murong Ziqiu didn't say anything more, and followed closely behind him.
Outside the palace gate, Qi Feng sat on a horse in military uniform, majestic. He looked at the magnificent palace walls and imagined that he would be the master of this place, and he couldn't help but laugh proudly.
He has been planning for so long, and finally created such a good opportunity today, after today, he will be the king of this golden wing, and he will no longer have to bear the charge of ill intentions, nor will he have to rely on Yao Luoyu who kicked him away when he sat on the throne.
Imaginingly, the heavy palace door has been smashed open by people on his side.
"All the soldiers obeyed the order, and followed me into the palace to eliminate the rebellious ministers and thieves who plotted to kill the king, regardless of life and death." Qi Feng roared excitedly, clamped the horse's belly, raised his whip, and then rushed towards the palace.
"Charge," shouted the soldiers, charging into battle with a ferocious expression.
As soon as they entered the palace, sharp arrows and feathers shot from all directions, and the row of people who rushed to the front fell in response, and the people behind hurriedly raised their shields to block them, and some hurriedly waved their swords to block them.
"Hmph, that's all there is to it." Qi Feng snorted disdainfully, took the bow and arrow from the horse, drew the bow, and fired the three arrows in unison, and then saw that the arrow feather seemed to have eyes, and accurately shot into the hearts of the three Praetorian Guards, and the three of them only had time to say a word before they fell forever.
Hmph, Qi Feng sneered, very satisfied with his superb archery skills. A few more arrows came out of the sac, and with a few swishes, several of the archers hidden on the opposite side fell to the ground.
After a few rounds of arrow rain, the Praetorian Guards had killed and wounded dozens of people, while Qi Feng's side had already killed and wounded hundreds.
Although the Praetorian Guards were hidden in the shadows, Qi Feng had a lot of soldiers and horses, and even if he released arrows, he couldn't stop them from advancing. I don't know when, I don't know who rushed over first, but I know that the scene suddenly became chaotic. A group of Praetorian Guards fought with Qi Feng's army, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the scene was spectacular and tragic.
Qi Feng had 300,000 soldiers and horses, but only brought 100,000 to enter from the palace gate, leaving 500,000 to surround the palace, and the other three batches entered from the south gate, the west gate and the north gate respectively. He had already calculated it, but now there are only 20,000 Praetorian Guards in the palace, and the palace is tightly surrounded by his people, and if he can't find support, even if he starves, he will starve to death those in the palace. However, he couldn't wait that long, he could only use the simplest way to kill him directly, who could stop him?
Although the Praetorian Guards resisted hard, they were forced to retreat with few men, and soon fought outside the court.
Qi Feng sat on his horse, looked up at the white figure standing on the high steps, and smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth. "Third Emperor Brother, as long as you surrender, Big Brother can not embarrass you."
Hearing this, Qi Xiao smiled sarcastically, "Brother Emperor, this is an idiot talking in a dream!" "Since he and he have come this far, why are you still so polite with him.
"You! Hum! Qi Feng was so angry by his words that his face sank, and he looked at him coldly, "Brother Huang thinks you can still get out of danger today?" ”
"Why not?" Qi Xiao smiled coldly.
"Hmph, now that my army has surrounded the palace, do you think that just 20,000 Praetorian Guards can stop it? It's just overwhelming! Even if you put on your wings and go out to ask for help, the soldiers and horses stationed outside the city are only 100,000, do you think you can compete with me? Jokes, even if you invite them, I'm afraid they won't be able to come for a while, right? ”
"Not necessarily!" Qi Xiao smiled confidently, his light and breezy appearance made Qi Feng a little unpredictable for a while. However, when he thought that he had come with all the preparations, he threw away the doubts that had risen in his heart and looked at Qi Xiao proudly.
"Third Emperor Brother, you still haven't changed your unyielding temperament, it's okay, let the Imperial Brother teach you."
The people around him were in a dark place, but they didn't affect Qi Xiao at all, he just stood there quietly, hearing Qi Feng's words, his deep eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth seemed to have a mocking smile, and the words he said were cold. "I'm afraid that the royal brother doesn't have this opportunity."
"Hmph, Qi Xiao, this palace is kind and persuasive, you don't know whether you are dead or alive, then take your life!" Qi Feng's eyes were angry, and he said sharply. With a slight force, he flew up from his horse and rushed straight to Qi Xiao. He, the imperial brother, has not been concentrating on martial arts since he was a child, if he arrests him, why worry that the Praetorian Guards will not surrender? Although he has far more soldiers and horses than the Praetorian Guard, it is not ordinary soldiers who can become Praetorian Guards, and it will take a little time to destroy them all. If you can't do it quickly, it will be more troublesome to let the garrisons outside the city know the news, although he won't pay too much attention to that person.
