Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Fall of the Royal City
"Okay, that's fine, you be careful".
Sun Yu nodded, and immediately led five hundred people to the valley slowly
Above the valley, behind Li Zhi, the soldier said, "General, why did they only come with a few hundred people?" Hit no? ”
"This is their vanguard force, they want to find out if there are ambushes above this valley" Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "You go and give orders, wait for them to come in; Whether it's a boulder or a bow and arrow, give them a hard salute. "No". The army formation was only a dozen zhang away from the mouth of the valley, and the five hundred sword and shield men led by Sun Yu entered the valley in a blink of an eye.
"Kill".
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!". After a shocking shout of killing, a sharp eagle feather shot down like rain, and in just an instant, more than 100 people died in 500 sword and shield hands, Sun Yu was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, all raise the shield."
"Puff puff".
More than 100 people were shot dead on the spot, and without Sun Yu reminding them, the remaining 300 or so soldiers had already raised their shields, and the shields were connected together to form a small circular shield array, protecting all the soldiers under the shield array.
"Boom". There was another earth-shattering loud noise, Sun Yu looked up, only to see countless boulders flying towards the shield array, at this moment, he raised his spear to block the boulders, but so many boulders fell, how could Sun Yu alone resist them.
After the "bang" shot flew away the two falling boulders, Sun Yu shouted: "You guys quickly retreat." "Boom".
At this time, it was too late to retreat, dozens of boulders fell at the same time, falling on the shield array, how was the shield array supported by manpower the opponent of these boulders, the shield array was instantly crushed, the shield array scattered, under the attack of the boulders, the soldiers completely lost their ability to resist; Not everyone can predict the danger and fly hundreds of pounds of boulders like Sun Yu and Zhang Meng.
"Ahh There were bursts of heart-rending screams, Sun Yu looked back, only to see that the more than 300 soldiers were less than fifty, the shield array was scattered, and most of the soldiers were smashed under the attack of the boulder, and their brains were splashed.
"Evacuate". Sun Yu didn't care, turned the horse's head and quickly retreated, and the remaining fifty or so soldiers also followed Sun Yu in horror and ran away without their lives, and when Sun Yu returned to the military formation, there were less than ten soldiers who really followed Sun Yu.
Wang Xu gasped, Nima, only ten of the five hundred people died in an instant, how many ambushes do you have to have?
"The lord, his subordinates are incompetent". "It's not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself" Wang Xu let out a long sigh, is he really nowhere to go? When the prince really succeeds in seizing the throne, then it will be his turn, if he does not surrender his military power and surrender, he will only have to resist, but once he resists, he will become a thief, which Wang Xu knows better than anyone else.
"Lord, what should we do now?" Huang Quan immediately stepped forward and asked.
"Give the order to withdraw the army" In the face of so many ambushes, Wang Xu was also helpless, so he had to say helplessly.
Jia Hui stood behind Wang Xu, and also persuaded: "Lord, don't withdraw the army, if we are at war with the prince now, it is under the order of the prince, and it is a righteous army, but if we withdraw the army and sit back and watch the prince be killed, then after the prince inherits the throne, our army will become a thief, not only to face the 100,000 army of the prince, but also to face the imperial army behind us, the imperial capital is not far from here, and then we will be attacked on both sides, and the situation will be dangerous." "So what do you say? Look at the ambush soldiers in this valley, there are 20,000 at least, even if all of our 30,000 people die, we may not be able to rush over" Wang Xu decisively gave the order to withdraw the army, and now there is only one step at a time, there is a good saying, there is no endless road.
"Withdraw the army" Huang Quan shouted, and the 30,000 army returned the same way, and retreated ten miles to the village.
As soon as Wang Xu's army withdrew, Li Zhi received an order from the prince to withdraw his army, didn't he say that he would hold on for half a day? Could it be that the royal city has already fallen?
"Order, all ambush soldiers withdraw to the royal city". Li Zhi gave an order, and the three thousand soldiers also withdrew from the valley and headed towards the royal city.
The royal city of Guxi
The 3,000-Yulin army, in the face of tens of thousands of troops in turn, in the face of the constant bombardment of trebuchets, the battle lasted only two hours before it subsided; The inner city fell, the royal palace was lost, and now the entire royal city of Guxi is under the control of the prince. Zhou Yi slowly walked into the Chengqian Palace, looking at the throne that he dreamed of, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he walked towards the throne step by step; Finally succeeded, what is family affection? Is it more important than the throne? As long as you sit on this golden throne, what do you want?
"What about the old thing?"
A soldier said: "Yu Shizi, the prince has been caught, and now he is waiting outside the palace."
"What prince? He is no longer the King of Guxi" Zhou Yi's eyes were indifferent, and he shouted angrily: "Come on, pull this guy down and punish him with fifty rods, and let him know who the real King of Guxi is." "Shizi, Shizi spare his life" Ignoring the soldier's cry for mercy, the two armorers standing outside the hall quickly dragged the soldier down. "Lord Shi, what should Zhou De do" On the right side of the main hall, an old man in a Confucian robe asked.
This old man's name is Wen Qing, he is a guest in the prince's mansion, and he is also Zhou Yi's adviser, and he often gives Zhou Yi advice, and most of this rebellion is the idea of this Wen Qing. "Wen Qing, this son can successfully ascend to this throne, thanks to your help, you have made a lot of contributions, say it, whatever reward you want, this king will promise you."
Wen Qing said: "Lord Wang, now is not the time to reward meritorious deeds, and Zhou De has not yet disposed of it; Outside the royal city, there are still 80,000 troops of Wang Xu and Lu Yang eyeing each other, and the prince should not take it lightly."
"That's right, then wait until they are solved and then reward them one by one."
Zhou Yi walked to the throne and sat upright, only feeling that everything in front of him had changed, as if he had infinite strength, and he could crush everything with a single move.
After a while, Zhou Yi said: "That old thing is my father no matter what he says, leave him a whole corpse, give him a piece of white silk, a glass of poisonous wine, choose it, and after he dies, he will be buried in the royal tomb."
"Nuo" Wenqing thought for a while and said, "Lord Wang, don't you want to see him?" I won't see you again." Zhou Yi waved his sleeves and said coldly: "I saw what he did, this king doesn't want to see him now, you can go and execute him secretly now."
"Obey" Wen Qing took the order and turned around and walked outside the hall.
