Volume 1 Pattern Chapter 24 If it is difficult

Perhaps except for the second prince Xiang Zhiyi and the third prince Xiang Zhiyan in the main hall who knew all this, everyone else was completely ignorant of this matter.

They didn't understand why Xiang Zhiyan, the new crown prince who had just ascended the throne, suddenly died violently, and this doubt also extended to the death of hundreds of civil servants and the execution of nineteen generals.

The day after Guangwu Gong died violently. Only the second and third princes led a few rare eunuchs and palace maids to send their coffins to the imperial tomb. The third prince knew who was responsible for the death of his eldest brother, but he was only ten years old, and he had no room for resistance. Perhaps, if the second prince is not his biological brother, then he is now difficult to protect himself.

By noon, the coffin had been laid. But the ministers, who had not participated in the coronation ceremony, protested fiercely, believing that the royal family's funeral was not allowed to be so hasty.

Xiang Zhiyi didn't make any response, he slowly walked up the more than ten layers of bluestone steps in front of Lang Qian's Palace, his fingers gently hooked the scabbard on his waist, and in the low sound of opening and closing, he released a shuddering aura. He took two steps and one step at a time, and under the stunned eyes of the ministers below, he climbed the last golden step, which only the king of a country is qualified to step on.

Xiang Zhiyi stood quietly in front of the gate of Langqian's palace, he turned his head and looked down at the courtiers who were in confusion under the golden steps.

The old minister, who was relatively high-ranking in the ranks, impassionedly told his colleagues about the majesty of the emperors of Guangcai and the grand scale of the burial, and even mourned the whole country. Now that King Wu died violently, he was hastily buried, is it the grave of the people of the royal family? Please also think twice about the second prince! Posthumously seal the name of the martial king!

These middle-level ministers are not qualified to enter the temple, so they will not know what happened yesterday. Besides, they despise this cynical gentleman the most, if this country has no owner, they will also try their best to prevent these two princes from conforming to human reason and succeeding as kings.

But Xiang Zhiyi smiled slightly at this time, as if he was frozen, "Zhong Aiqing, please respect yourself!" ”

The old ministers suddenly stopped talking, and they stared at the second prince on the big stage, and they didn't tell for a moment whether it was him or the late Prince Xiang of Guangtai. But the decisive coldness of the killing will never be wrong, and the ministers were so frightened that they couldn't say anything for a while.

But at this moment, a long-haired courtier who had reached the destiny of heaven stepped forward and looked directly at the second prince on the steps.

"The second prince, the subordinate believes that this matter should be carefully considered, not simply dealt with. After all, our royal family is the heir of God, and no etiquette can be perfunctory, and I hope that the second prince ......" He stopped suddenly, his eyes fixed on Xiang Zhiyi's hand, the light that passed through the sun was too familiar.

He is subordinate to the three major divisions of the Guangcai Kingdom, the capital of the military cardinal department, and is the highest commander of military power, and even the general of Zhenguo, who is a very popular minister, will give him three points when he sees him. Without him, simply because he holds the power of a million soldiers. That's why his current momentum is so sufficient, the Taihou is dead, so he who is dissatisfied with this position is bound to make relevant actions. But the thing that represents his own power is in Xiang Zhiyi's hands......

"It's a candle dragon seal...... When......" he said hoarsely, and his body gradually collapsed to the ground. Behind him was a general with a sinister smile. He rolled the blade of the blade, quickly shattered the heart of the capital, and drew the blade out.

"Traitor!" Xiang Zhiyi put the candle dragon head symbolizing military power in his hand with his body, and slowly raised his hand, "All the soldiers...... Cleanse these thieves! ”

The deafening roar resounded through the heavens and the earth, and countless soldiers pulled out the broad blades in their sheaths, and they all had hideous faces and approached the Wenchen in front.

The chaotic wails recurred in this world, and the dark era really ended in this purge of rebellion, and the person who was truly worthy of the title of Martial King gradually showed his edge.

Later in the country of Guangcai, whenever those who lived by their ingenuity remembered that day, they would always cry out in horror, and their noses seemed to still smell the bloody smell that obscured the day, and they knelt on the ground with tears flowing, begging for forgiveness from unknown people.

The huge square surrounded by a semicircle gradually fell silent, and the soldiers withdrew their broadswords and stood solemnly on the square, neatly lined up, waiting for the birth of the new king and his irreversible edict.

"Now I am the Lord of this vast vessel! He is the king of this vast vessel! Xiang Zhiyi glanced at his military ministers, his eyes were like knives, "I am the Martial King of Guangcai!" ”

All the soldiers trampled on the blood-soaked floor, raised their arms and shouted, and they hailed the birth of a new king and offered his most loyal prostration. That was the first time Xiang Zhiyan had seen the second brother's ambition, and he couldn't believe his eyes as he glanced at the group of high-spirited soldiers. That is Xiang Zhiyi's imperial power, which is bound to burn this fire to the continent of Dayue......

Xiang Zhiyan now truly understands how powerful his elder brother and the emperor in front of him are, and whether those pretending to be seen by the world are real or false......

The defeat of the former Taihou has always been faintly remembered by the arrogant Xiang Zhiyi, who burned all the humiliating regulations when he first ascended the throne, and he could never tolerate the extreme presumptuousness of these harlequins who kicked on his head.

After the execution of the nineteen generals, he personally led the troops, lifted the broad-bladed saber, and led the cavalry to raise the whip and go straight to the difficult pass. The army of 50,000 followed King Wu to break through the mountains and rivers, and rushed to the territory of the eastern country, and within half a month, it arrived at the Ruojian Pass east of Guangcai, which has now become the territory of the Qiyan country.

If the difficulty is located at the junction of the four countries, it is the key to the north and the gateway to the south. It is close to the Shanglu Kingdom in the northeast, intersects with the Qinan Kingdom in the east, is the imperial capital of the Yue Dynasty in the south, and confronts the Yanruo Kingdom across the mountain in the southeast. It has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

At the time of the prosperity of the Great Yue, the narrow and narrow strip of difficulties prompted the Indian people of the Northern Regions to bring local special skills and items to the capital of the Great Yue Kingdom and trade with the people of the Yue capital. Later, with the impact of the war, the Northern Regions became more dependent on this difficult pass to carry out extensive contacts with the Great Yue Continent.

At the same time, this narrow strip of land that runs through the north and south also provides a natural combat barrier for Guangcai, and is an important place of strategic depth, so Guangcai can be invincible in the east.

It's just that this sudden failure made everyone think that Guangcai had declined. And King Wu wants to take down this difficulty and give the eastern countries a ruthless disadvantage.

Not far away, there is a long line that seems to break through the sky, that is, if it is difficult, a winner will get the plateau of the North Continent.

King Wu immediately raised his hand to signal the army to stand still. He smiled coldly at the soldiers on the lookout in front of him. This is a complete provocation, and as the army of the Qiyan State that defeated Guangcai, it will never be tolerated.

The warrior on the stage shot a cluster of arrows at the face of the Warrior King, but the Warrior King stretched out his hand and moved forward, so he firmly caught it in his hand, broke the cluster of arrows, and threw it on the ground. When he looked up again, the warrior had stuck a lettered letter diagonally into the next arrow and shot it at the barracks' stockpile.

The samurai had participated in this difficult battle, and he knew that after that battle, Hirowa would never be able to turn over. A few days ago, the generals in the barracks were still discussing how to crusade against Guangcai and completely disintegrate it, but now the generals of this Guangcai country took the initiative to come here to die if it was difficult, how could he not be happy?

King Wu stared at the distant arrow and understood something. He inserted the broad blade of his hand diagonally into the scabbard of the horse, and with his left hand he bent down to take the hard bow on the side of the horse, and he picked up an arrow and rested it firmly on the hard bow. The bow was fully drawn, and then only a "whoosh" was heard, and the arrow pierced the samurai's neck like an eagle showing its claws. The samurai glanced down at his neck in shock, fluttered twice, and fell off the tower without a sound.

The two generals who were close to King Wu were stunned for a moment, and let out a breathtaking reverence, and they once again deepened their loyalty to King Wu.

"The letter has arrived, and the pigs and dogs should come out." King Wu said coldly, "My generals...... Kill with me! ”

The generals reacted immediately, as if the trapped beast had broken through the cage, only to hear a burst of tense springs bounce open, and the sabers were pulled out of the soldiers' waist sheaths, and they couldn't wait to rush forward.

They have endured it for too long, Guangcai has always been invincible, but at the most critical moment, they lost the battle of Ruoqiu, and everyone could not accept such a result. They are all hot-blooded men, all samurai who are willing to fight for their country, and they can give up everything for the sake of victory......

The neighing of horses like a storm and the furious roar of soldiers resounded through the heavens and the earth, and 10,000 heavy cavalrymen with broad-bladed sabers in one hand took the brunt of the attack and rode forward. 30,000 foot soldiers from the gap in the cavalry, holding a huge iron shield in their left hand and a fifteen-foot spear in their right hand, greeted the enemy with the momentum of a mountain.

If the gate of the city is opened, a large number of soldiers should be deployed by the enemy, holding their spears high and waiting for the enemy to charge. More than 100 crossbowmen stood on top of the city gate, their bows wide open.

The cowhide drum carved with candle dragon and burning phoenix is beaten hard by the soldiers who are as strong as an ox, and the drum sounds like a sky. The morale of the soldiers was unprecedentedly high. Guangcai has the most advanced forged steel smelting method in Luzhou. In the continental countries where it is still difficult to make iron, the law of forging steel in Guangcai is to greatly improve the utilization of surplus iron and the sophistication of iron armor. Through repeated smelting by master blacksmiths, the workmanship is as fine as the floor tiles fired in the Imperial Cellar. Armor made of ordinary iron-making techniques, as well as ordinary hard bows and spears, can be easily broken. And Guangcai's forged steel fish scale fine armor, even if it is a saber or a heavy hammer axe, cannot be easily chopped open.

However, the excellent skill doomed the production of armor to be low and costly, so King Wu applied 5,000 sets of forged steel fish scale armor to 10,000 heavy cavalry, making it a truly armed army to the teeth.

This is the earliest galloping, the real division of tigers and wolves.

This protracted battle, which lasted for three months, ended with King Wu losing 10,000 elite soldiers, killing 60,000 enemy guards, and defeating ten generals.

Qi Nanguo mistakenly underestimated the iron fist and hegemony of Guangcai, the young emperor. They still think that their victory is a frontal war and not a despicable sneak attack. To this day, this tiger that follows like a shadow is once again beginning to show its glory.

It was not because Qi Nan defeated Guangcai's iron-blooded army that led to Guangcai's defeat. It was the death of Guangcai's Taihou, which greatly disturbed the morale of the army, so that it could take advantage of the weakness and defeat Guangcai in one fell swoop.

Now this martial king, who is ten times more brave than the Taihou, can be regarded as a real tragic dismount for Qinan and the eastern countries.
