Chapter 71: Temptation

At night, the breeze and the moon coexist.

Only the sporadic light of the ancestral altar is incompatible with the surrounding darkness, and the rest of the place and the distant jungle are all blended into the night, and it does not appear abrupt.

A pair of eyes, hidden behind the grass, peeping at the lights of the ancestral altar. He didn't dare to go close to investigate, the great name of the Tianlin Army was very intimidating, and he was worried that the shadows would suddenly break through the air.

"No matter, just like that."

Of course, he didn't dare to make a sound, and after muttering a word in his heart, he slowly withdrew from the grass and fled briskly. One more second is one more danger. As a spy, he knew this very well.

What he saw was enough to make a difference, and he chose to tell a small lie to the people above, or his life was important.

He just turned around and disappeared into the darkness, not knowing that not long after he left, the firelight slowly lit up on the ancestral altar.

Emperor Qinghua knew that he was sending people to investigate the situation in the imperial capital, and Prince Huang Hao, who had no shortage of strategists around him, was naturally prepared. The person hiding in the grass to spy on the ancestral altar was Huang Hao's preparation.

"Father hasn't moved yet? Is he really old, and he has become a courageless person who thinks about the future? ”

Imperial capital, imperial palace.

Huang Hao caressed the white jade emperor with both hands, as if kneading the **** on both sides of a young girl, and his face was full of indulgence. No, can women compare to the power represented by this position?

He didn't dare to show his rebellion for the time being, but he couldn't resist the call of the main hall of the imperial capital, so he unconsciously separated the eunuch guards and became intimate with the "lover" he had longed for for many years.

While he was enjoying the great satisfaction of his heart, suddenly, a rapid shout woke him up from his sweet dream.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, something is wrong!"

The eunuch guarding the main hall shouted anxiously, and the news delivered by his colleagues was really urgent, and he didn't dare to delay it slightly.

"Come in." , Huang Hao calmed the restlessness in his heart and said coldly.

The giant mountain collapsed in front of him and was still in a state of mind like stopping water, but Huang Hao did not. But he knew it, and he tried to get himself to such a state.

The eunuch who was anxiously walking back and forth at the door heard the call and immediately pushed the door in.

As soon as he entered the door, he didn't care about saluting, and the eunuch slammed his hands and feet on the stone slab with a thud.

"Your Highness, according to the report from the soldiers defending the city, a large number of unknown people have appeared under the city gate and are attacking the imperial capital."

The eunuch hurriedly finished speaking, and secretly raised his head to peek at His Royal Highness the Prince. He saw that His Highness's ruddy face suddenly lost its bloody color, and it was as pale as the northern realm covered with thousands of miles of ice and snow.

Huang Hao panicked.

He speculated about when Emperor Qinghua would send troops, and he was also prepared in advance. It's just that he didn't expect it, but when he realized that he was going to really face Emperor Qinghua, the figure of Emperor Qinghua who had been pressing him breathless in his dreams for many years, threw him into the abyss of fear.

"This ...... At this time, you can't panic, with the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou, the prince will not lose. ”

Huang Hao barely suppressed the fear in his heart, and said with a gloomy face: "Go." ”

The moment he stepped out of the main hall, he took a deep breath, he must, he must seize this opportunity.

The opportunity must not be lost, the loss will not come again, and the life must be lost.

——————

Hengcheng is an old name, and since it was established as the capital, everyone prefers to call him the imperial capital.

When it was still called Hengcheng, the flames of war were kept out of the border, and it was peaceful for a long time. But tonight, a soldier in black armor pulled out his bowstring, regardless of the accuracy of the bow and arrow in the dark, and ignited the battle in the imperial capital.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack."

A few unlucky guys on the castle tower were crying for their lives, and the fallen corpses and flying bows and arrows sounded the alarm. Hurried shouts came and went, and Xuzhou Baijia skillfully hid behind the battlements, waiting for the arrow rain to pass and report back to the enemy.

Unable to see anything, no one dared to light a torch. Neither friend nor foe wants to be a target to attract the attention of the other party.

With the faint moonlight, the archer can only guarantee that the arrow will not pierce the body of his colleague, and the accuracy cannot be guaranteed. They all suffered from night blindness when they thought pig offal was dirty.

The moonlight was already weak, and with the hindrance of eyesight, the blind archers could not play much role. The occasional result is also because the blind cat encounters a dead mouse, and an arrow happens to hit it impartially.

Tonight it is said to be a siege, but it is actually a temptation. Qilin Hou Wang Lie may not have heard of "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, winning all battles", but the truth in the meantime is still clear. If he has some talent, maybe the author will write his name on this ancient military saying.

The sound of gold sounded, and the soldiers of the Tianlin Army retreated to the place where they were encamped in an orderly manner. At the south gate of the imperial capital, I don't know when a tent appeared, and it was the garrison of the Tianlin Army.

In the largest tent, Emperor Qinghua stood with his hands in his hands.

As soon as Qilin waited for the camp, he immediately came to the Qinghua Emperor's tent to report. The eunuch who was guarding outside the tent told Qilin Hou that His Majesty had ordered the general to come without warning.

Wang Lie didn't like red tape, he couldn't help himself on weekdays, he opened the curtain and strode into the tent.

Wang Lie's steps were as heavy as a burly figure, and the sound of footsteps sounded, and Emperor Qinghua turned around. Wang Lie was about to salute, but was supported by Emperor Qinghua, "There is no one else here, there is no need to pay more respects to me, let's talk about the situation first." ”

Wang Lie stretched out his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said solemnly: "According to the observation of the last general tonight, the white-armored warriors who are now guarding the imperial capital are trained in an orderly manner and move quickly. When our archers shot arrows, the white-armored army was only in confusion for a few breaths, and they were able to deal with it calmly. In addition to defense, there is still room for counterattack. Not to mention how it was to fight on flat ground, but based on tonight's performance, the last general concluded that the White Armor Army had been training in absolute secret for several years. ”

Emperor Qinghua still held his hand, "Don't increase the popularity of others and destroy your own prestige." No matter how strong the White Armor Army is, can you win the Tianlin Army that you brought out with your own hands? ”

"Definitely not." , Wang Lie snorted lightly, and then said firmly.

"That's it. No matter how strong the enemy is, in front of the Tianlin Army, I believe that they can only be called a rabble. Secretly trained for years? The Tianlin Army has devoted nearly ten years of hard work between you and me, and has made many great achievements. I don't believe that a small team secretly raised in Xuzhou can break the legend of the invincibility of the Tianlin army. ”

Wang Lie said "um", "The last general also thinks so." ”

Emperor Qinghua knew that although this veteran was calm on the surface, he was probably still a little powerless. He continued: "Since ancient times, attacking a city has required four or five times more soldiers and horses than the soldiers defending the city, and it has to pay a heavy price to succeed. You only have 50,000 soldiers and horses, and only 20,000 of them are from the Tianlin Army. I know you're stressed, so you have to be comfortable. Win or lose, I will not blame you. ”
