Chapter Seventy-Four: Lan Guo Chaos II
When the Lan Kingdom had just driven out the foreigners, there was a rebellion of the Five Kings.
Sima Yan, King of Lan Guojing, Sima Jin, King of Ning, Sima Yuan, King of Liyang, Sima Lun, King of Qing, and Sima Yi, King of Chang'an, these five kings formed an alliance, under the slogan of defending the capital, and they were unstoppable and attacked Monna.
Among the five kings, Sima Jin, the most prestigious, was the general, and the other four were generals, leading a total of 100,000 troops towards the city of Mona. These five kings are all the brothers of the previous kings and the uncles of Sima Xunhao.
King Jing Sima Yan is the second, King Ning Sima Jin and King Qing Sima Lun are brothers of the same father and mother, King Ning is the third, King Qing is the fifth, Sima Yuan, King of Liyang and Sima Yi, King of Chang'an, are brothers of the same father and mother, King of Liyang is the seventh, and King of Chang'an is the eighth.
At that time, the city defense battalion and the Praetorian Guards in the palace were less than 20,000 people. The general of the city defense battalion is called Meng Yan, and the general of the Praetorian Guard is Wan Qin, who once sent Zhen Rong to the Chu State.
Although there was a unit stationed outside the city, this army was led by Sima Xunye, and when he received the news of the rebellion of the Five Kings, Sima Xunye called this army back to Kyoto to hold on. The total number of people in this unit is only 8,000.
Now sending people to call the troops stationed on the border to return to the division is also far away from the water can not save the near fire, and the border is already unstable, if once it falls, it is known by the enemy, and the foreign enemy attacks in, this beggars will not add fuel to the fire.
At this moment, there was an atmosphere of fear and anxiety throughout Kyoto, and some people even began to flee in fear.
At this moment, Zhen Rong, who is in Mingxia Palace, is also full of sadness, this time is different from last time, last time it was the foreign tribesmen who attacked from the outside world, the road is far, there is buffer time, you can drop other troops to come to the rescue, but this time it is directly from the territory of Lan Kingdom, there is no buffer time at all, and their troops are more than three times more than Monna, this battle is difficult to fight, even Zhen Rong is not sure.
Although Zhen Rong could secretly send people from the hussar battalion to come to the rescue, the hussar camp was far away from Qigang Pass, which was more than 900 miles away, and the army was moving fast, and it would take ten days to get here. Besides, she can't call the army of the hussar battalion to come at all, once she really comes, the fact that she has control of the hussar camp will be known to the eldest brother, and it may not be a secret that my father secretly told me at that time.
As it stands, the city of Munnar can hold on for up to five days.
When they reached the state of Langzhou (one of the four great cities), they were not far from Munnar.
At this time, the five kings were attacking the city of Yanzhou, and the defenders of Yanzhou swore to defend the city to the death, but they failed to defend it. After they got the state, they began to want to come to Kyoto.
At this moment, Zhen Rong, seeing that the enemy army was about to enter Mona, Zhen Rong did not have any scruples, so she had to secretly confess to Ling Yu, and immediately went to Qigang with a gold medal warrant to find the hussar general Hang Ji (this person is the son of General Hang Xiangyun, after Hang Xiangyun's death, he inherited his father's position, so he is Hang Yiyun's nephew and Zhen Rong's cousin).
My eldest brother and second brother and I discussed how to fight the enemy, and in the end, we decided to send the nearest Shengzhou, as well as the army of Tanlin, to come to the rescue of Munnar. It will take five days at the earliest, so Munnar will have to hold out for five days to have a 40% chance of winning. Although people were sent to the rescue, the combined troops of Shengzhou and Tanlin were only 30,000 people, and the more than 28,000 people in the Beijing division were only more than 50,000 people.
Zhen Rong suggested that we should first send people to appease the people in the city, so that the people would not panic so much, and then boost the morale of the army.
Zhen Rong thought so in her heart, when the armies of Shengzhou and Tanlin came, they could hold out for seven or eight days, plus the five days before they came, then as soon as the hussar camp arrived, the chance of winning this battle became seventy percent, so the current insistence is to wait for the arrival of the hussar camp.
The five kings finally came, and they camped thirty miles outside the city.
They need hundreds of ships to attack the city of Mona, because the city of Monna is surrounded by a moat more than 100 meters wide, only the north gate has a bridge, this bridge was built to facilitate the people outside the city to enter the city, and now this bridge is garrisoned by half of the troops of the city defense battalion, and the other three gates need to be entered by boat.
Zhen Rong estimated that they would use the most troops to attack the north gate, because there was a bridge at the north gate, so they could use ships, and once they were captured, they would be able to enter the city immediately and win the victory. Although the bridge can be destroyed, when the Shengzhou and Tanlin armies come to the rescue, they can only borrow boats to cross the river to attack the city, and then there will be so many boats that can be used.
Therefore, Zhen Rong suggested that all the 10,000 people in the city defense camp should be guarded at the north gate, and his eldest brother also felt so, so he agreed to this arrangement.
When the Five Kings sent 30,000 people to attack the North Gate, before that, Zhen Rong asked someone to make *, and when they attacked the city, they used * to blow up more than 10,000 people directly from the 30,000 horses of the Five Kings.
At that time, the entire north gate was full of piles of corpses, and there were also dead bodies floating in the moat under the bridge, and the scene was extremely terrifying and bloody. The blood was left in the river, which directly dyed the river red, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air, the pungent smell was too strong, so that Zhen Rong, who was standing in the city, asked, her stomach was extremely uncomfortable, and she couldn't help retching. Even if she had seen it in Central Africa, she still couldn't stand the strong smell of blood, and the whole North Gate was simply as terrifying as purgatory.
The other three gates, the same, were as if the bodies were floating on the water of the moat, and there were also connected boats, drenched in blood and miserable.
After holding out like this for three days, the enemy still had more than 70,000 dead and wounded, while we had less than 10,000.
That night, the enemy finally stopped attacking, Zhen Rong stood under the city tower, looking at the soaked corpses in the river, feeling sad and sad, those who were once fresh lives, but now they are lying in the cold water worse than the mud, alas! War is the most devastating thing in people's lives, but there are still so many people who do not care about the lives of others, start wars, and invade others.
At this time, Wan Qin walked up to the city tower, looking at the arrogant and peerless beautiful back, as well as the wind on the city tower, the long hair that was blown apart, and the long skirt, he teared off the cloak on his body in distress, gently put it on her shoulder, and said in a tone of admiration and pity: "Princess, it's too cold on this city tower, princess should go back!" Is there a final general here? ”
Seeing that it was Wan Qin, Zhen Rong smiled at him kindly: "I'm fine, it's you, you gave me the cloak, what about you?" As he spoke, he was going to give it back to him.
Wan Qin smiled and said, "Am I in good health?" The princess is weak, so she has to take good care, so the princess is still wearing it! Wan Qin stopped her as he spoke, and then fastened her cloak to Zhenrong.
Seeing this, Zhen Rong had no choice but to accept it.
In fact, when Wan Qin sent Zhen Rong to Chu State, Wan Qin knew that Zhen Rong was by no means like an ordinary woman when she heard what she said. Sure enough, after getting along for the past few days, plus the last time she defeated the foreigners because of her plan, her wisdom and strategy are comparable to those of men, and they are even better. He really admires the princess, if the princess is a man, she will not be inferior to becoming the emperor of Lan Kingdom.
