Chapter 396: Getting on the Wrong Boat

In the city, the trapped cavalry fought bloodily, according to common sense, the cavalry against the infantry, must be more than three times the infantry to defeat, however, now the contrast between the enemy and us in the city is too great, not to mention three times, the previous brave cavalry, has been suppressed in a small area.

The range of movement of the war horses was limited, the impact power was missing, the combat power of the cavalry was greatly reduced, and there were more and more people besieging them, and they couldn't get out after trying to rush several times, and the cavalry couldn't help but despair.

The archers on either side were ready to take their bows and arrows, and the catapults turned their positions and aimed at them.

The cavalry looked at all this, and the courage to die broke out in despair, and one of the leaders suddenly raised his spear and shouted: "Brothers, even if we die, we have to pull a few pads, we are cavalry, against the infantry, how can we pull a few more, kill-"

"Kill—"

The roar sounded, and the whole cavalry rushed into the crowd and began to fight, so that although they were besieged on all sides and the battle was even more fierce, they were finally mixed together, and the archers and catapults could not play their role, and escaped the fate of one-sidedness.

It's just that, even so, at most, it can only increase the casualties of the defenders, and the fate of the cavalry still can't be changed.

The battle was extremely fierce, the cavalry were like crazy, they rushed forward without fear of death, the spear in their hands was cut off, they served as long sticks, and when the war horse fell, they became infantry, and the blood in their heads was splashed on the enemy's face, giving the companions behind a chance to kill a few more rebels!

The cavalry fell down, they were seriously injured, and without weapons, they pounced on the guards and fought with their bare arms, biting with their teeth, kicking with the soles of their feet, buttoning their eyes, pinching their crotch, and all the tricks that could be used were used, often the cavalry who was hit by several knives finally had to desperately strangle the opponent's neck, even if they died, their arms did not let go, and finally strangled the opponent alive on the spot.

Yue Shaoan stood on a high place, looking at the miserable scene in the city, and his heart sank.

Liu Bonan's face turned pale, at this time, he was already trying his best to mobilize manpower, but it takes time to mobilize troops, and the cavalry that was trapped at the moment obviously could not hold on to the arrival of reinforcements.

Liu Bonan gritted his teeth and ordered Li Chen to lead the many people who had built the bridge before to rush up first, and at the collapse site, some of the infantry built a ladder to crawl, and some climbed the collapsed bricks.

However, the number of troops was too small, and the defenders were focused on defending here, and the archers and catapults were concentrated in this place to attack, more than 1,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, and the corpses were piled up on the wall where the collapsed place was piled up a few feet high, and still not a single person could rush in.

Liu Bonan had to order to stop the attack, otherwise, it would not help if all these people died there......

Just when everyone was already desperate, suddenly, the city gate "Boom! With a bang, the drawbridge suddenly fell, and then the city gate slowly opened, and more than a dozen light horsemen dressed in black rushed out quickly.

The defenders behind were chasing after him, Yue Shao'an looked at it, and it was a petite woman running at the forefront of the light horse, and he recognized it carefully, and he could see that it was a moonlit night, and he couldn't help but be happy.

Looking back, seeing that Liu Bonan was still stunned, Yue Shaoan scolded. Being scolded by him like this, Liu Bonan suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly ordered the cavalry to rush towards the city gate.

Yue Shao'an saw that Liu Bonan had already made a move, and waved his hand at the moonlit night, and the moonlit night came straight to the front, and more than a dozen people dismounted and knelt on one knee.

The crisp voice of the moonlit night came out: "Yeyue is good at making an initiative to open the city gate, please ask the emperor to surrender!" ”

Yue Shao'an stepped forward happily and helped her up: "It's good, it's good...... Get up! ”

The people behind the moonlit night stood up in unison, and none of them spoke.

Looking at these cold people, Yue Shao'an was in a good mood, and ordered someone to take them down to rest, and then looked towards the city, only to see that Liu Bonan's cavalry had rushed into the city, and the defenders with the black cauldron were defeated and retreated, and the besieged cavalry also smoothly merged with those who entered the city later.

Everything has basically settled down, Yue Shaoan let out a long breath, waved his hand and said, "Let's go too!" With that, the crowd quietly returned to the camp.

Gao Chong and the others had already withdrawn, and the soldier who threw the last earth mine was beaten by Gao Chong and couldn't move, so Yue Shao'an had no intention of pursuing his fault anymore, and ordered the troops to set up camp and go north to resist the Jin soldiers.

When Liu Bonan rushed into the palace to arrest Zhang Xianrang, Yue Shaoan's team had already embarked on the road to the north.

Yue Shao'an took the lead, the speed of the team was not very fast, Gao Chong lowered his head, and came up with a sad face to ask Yue Shao'an for his guilt, Yue Shao'an looked at his pitiful appearance, and comforted him with a few words.

I once thought that Gao Chong didn't learn anything else from Mr. Yue, but this cheeky person learned very much, as soon as he heard the good words and knew that Mr. Yue didn't blame him, the whole person changed all of a sudden, and he said endlessly, as if the person who came to ask for sin was not him.

"Mr. Yue!" Gao Chong said with a shy face: "Why didn't we take the city, we didn't rush to kill, the credit was taken by the people of the Northern Battalion......"

"O noble, come, come down, I'll tell you!" Yue Shaoan jumped off the horse, stretched out his hand with a smile, and took Gao Chong off the horse.

Gao Chong's eyes lit up and he leaned over: "Mr. Yue, what's the good news?" ”

"Isn't it time for you to rub your ass?" Yue Shaoan said suddenly.

"No!" Gao Chong was puzzled: "The butt doesn't hurt!" ”

"Bang!"

"Oops-" Gao Chong jumped up and covered his ass with both hands: "Mr. Yue, why are you kicking me!" ”

"Does it hurt now?"

"It hurts!"

"Rub it off-" Yue Shao'an glanced at him, his face sank slightly: "Do you know how many people in the Beida Camp you killed by this mistake?" What else do you need to take the credit, if you don't deal with it by military law, it will already be very light. ”

Gao Chong didn't dare to say much, so he ran back in a gloomy manner, but muttered in his mouth: "Mr. Yue is too fierce......"

"Haha......" The ordinary sergeants didn't dare to laugh, but Zhang Heng and Niu Ren laughed without scruples, although today's battle was full of twists and turns, but, in general, it was a victory, and their mood was relatively good.

In particular, his own people were basically not killed, and there were only two people injured, one because of merit, one because of fault, one in the head and one in the buttocks.

In the laughter of the generals, the moonlit night came to Yue Shao'an's side quietly, and said softly: "Emperor, my subordinates have something to report." ”

Yue Shaoan knew what she was going to say, nodded and said, "Okay, you come with me!" After that, Yue Shaoan took the moonlit night and walked on the side of the path, far away from the team, and after making sure that no one could hear it, Yue Shaoan said, "How is the investigation?" ”

"It's been checked."

"Say!"

"It's about the prince's ......"

"Prince?" Yue Shao'an was a little puzzled: "The emperor didn't have a ...... from where he gave birth to a son" Speaking of this, Yue Shao'an suddenly realized something, was taken aback, and said: "You mean, the second prince, the crown prince set up by the first emperor?" ”

"Yes!" Yueye looked at Yue Shao'an's expression of excitement, paused slightly, and then said: "The news that Gu's subordinates got is that Zhang Xianrang used the prince to blackmail General Liu. ”

"But, didn't the prince die when the Jin soldiers entered the city?"

"At that time, everyone thought that the prince was dead, but he was not dead." Yueye said: "The prince was actually put under house arrest by Zhang Xian. ”

Yue Shao'an was shocked, this matter is very important, if the prince does not die, then, as long as Zhang Xianrang moves him out, the Song Dynasty will be turbulent at that time, the so-called heaven has no two days, the country has no two masters, the throne has always emphasized an orthodoxy, and the current emperor will be very passive at that time......

"Moonlit night, you make it clear, what's going on, didn't you say that all the princes died that day, and only the five princes were captured alive? Why is the prince still alive? ”

"Emperor, the following words ......" Moonlit Night looked embarrassed.

Yue Shao'an understood: "Don't worry, I know that you were recruited after Zhuo Yan took over the organization, and I have absolute trust in your loyalty, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Yueye glanced at Yue Shao'an gratefully, nodded and said: "That's the case, on that day, Zhang Xianrang's reason for treason was not that he wanted to be the emperor, but to seek the throne for a prince, but at that time, there was a prince on the throne, and the prince had no chance, in order to eradicate the prince, he asked Zhang Xianrang to do this." ”

Yue Shaoan nodded lightly: "So, before the Jin soldiers entered the city, Zhang Xianrang had already arrested the prince?" ”

"Yes!" Yueye continued: "After Zhang Xianrang caught the prince, he told the prince he was loyal to at that time that he had killed the prince, but I didn't expect that it was because of this sentence that the prince had murderous intentions towards him. ”

"Why is that?"

"Because at that time, although the prince lacked the strongest resistance to the throne, there were several other princes, and he didn't have any outstanding achievements for the emperor to see, so he wanted to sell Zhang Xianrang so that he could be the emperor and a springboard."

"Understood." Yue Shaoan pinched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "So, in this way, Zhang Xianrang has no way to retreat, and he actually took refuge in the Jin Kingdom, right?" ”

"Yes!" Yueye nodded: "It's just that there is something that his subordinates can't figure out, since Zhang Xianrang didn't kill the prince that day, why didn't he hand it over directly, but instead relied on Jin Guo?" ”

It is not difficult to understand that the crown prince is the one he persecuted, and the other prince is bent on killing him. Whoever takes the throne of these two people, Zhang Xianrang will not have a good death, and he is also helpless. Yue Shaoan shook his head and sighed lightly: "It seems that he is on the wrong ship......
