Chapter 171: Love and Hatred in the Rivers and Lakes - The Battle at the Beginning

After such a sect is confiscated, how much silver and weapons will there be!

The reckless martial arts sect, why do they have so much wealth, and why can they produce such powerful weapons.

The threat of such a sect to the imperial court is simply too great, and it must be eliminated as soon as possible.

The most infuriating thing is that they actually harbor the remnants of the criminals, and it is better to eradicate them with this reason.

In the eyes of the emperor, King Yuan is his most trusted imperial uncle, because the imperial uncle has always shown no interest in the throne.

Uncle Huang always made it very clear that he didn't think it was fun to be an emperor at all, and he just liked to do something to kill the enemy.

I just like to gallop and fight on the battlefield.

Such an imperial uncle, the emperor is very willing to give him some benefits, let him contain the powerful Shen Guoxun, and let them form a relationship of mutual opposition and mutual checks and balances.

In this way, his throne will be more secure.

Let's get back to the point.

The second letter asked the Huaishan faction to marry their daughter to the palace as a concubine, which meant that the daughter of the alliance leader would get the supreme status, which could be regarded as a promotion of the Huaishan faction.

This is what the emperor meant, and King Yuan wrote it on his behalf.

The emperor felt that without much certainty of annihilating the Huaishan faction, it would not be bad to control the daughter of the alliance leader in his own hands first.

However, such a request would only be agreed to by a fool! Obviously, if the daughter of the true alliance leader was sent to the palace, it would be that the entire Huaishan faction was pinched by the royal family.

Mei Mantian replied with another letter, in which she said that the little girl is married and should not enter the palace, please forgive me.

In the third letter, he asked the Huaishan faction to borrow two million taels of silver, saying that the treasury was empty and that silver was needed to fight a war with the Dali country in the north.

I hope the alliance leader can do a little help.

Mei Mantian's reply was even more angry, saying that now the Huaishan faction's food and clothing have become a problem, can you ask the court to borrow some food.

It's really a joke, how could the imperial court lend grain out, now because there are too many dead people and too few people who grow food, the imperial court is still short of military rations.

King Yuan rode a tall horse along the rugged mountain road, wondering how much gold and silver, how much grain, and how many weapons he could steal from the Huaishan faction.

Also coming to participate in the battle was Gonggong Qin, who was very powerful in martial arts, and King Yuan had studied with him, and the strength of the two was comparable.

plus two generals with very good martial arts, General Su and General Meng, these two people are also considered martial arts masters.

There are also some middle-class generals who have stayed in the martial arts sect, and their martial arts are very good.

With such a lineup, plus more than 100,000 troops, King Yuan still feels that there is little chance of winning.

Therefore, he also issued an order to the officers and men to weaken their strength and reduce our casualties before they make their contributions.

At noon today, King Yuan suddenly received a flying pigeon biography from Xizuo, which stated that important people in Huaishan had been poisoned.

After receiving this news, he finally took a big reassurance.

After entering the gloomy canyon, King Yuan felt a little uneasy in his heart, if he was ambushed here, the consequences would be very terrible.

Looking at the path leading to the summit of the Six Peaks, King Yuan made a gesture to one of the generals.

The general understood, and some of the soldiers were arranged to climb the mountain first.

But what are you really afraid of, what is coming.

Just when some soldiers had climbed a distance of only a few tens of meters, it rained steel needles throughout the canyon.

Countless sharp steel needles were shot from the trees of the canyon, with such force that they could easily shoot into the armor of the soldiers and sink into their flesh.

In just a few breaths, there was a wail in the canyon.

Many soldiers fell to their deaths as a result, and some were injured to varying degrees.

"Set up a shield, hurry." A certain general, shouted.

But when they blocked the flying steel needles with their shields, it seemed to stop again.

In just a few breaths, the soldiers suffered very heavy casualties, and probably a third did not get up again.

King Yuan looked at the corpse that had fallen to the ground, and he had a sense of foreboding in his heart.

It seems that this encirclement and suppression operation will not be so easy to succeed.

King Yuan took a hard breath and comforted himself, it may be that the black light is blind, someone has touched the mechanism, it is not that the Huaishan faction has discovered them.

"Hurry up and prepare for Gongshan." One of the generals ordered.

As soon as the large army was ordered, they all climbed up like crazy, and when there was only one path, many soldiers were ordered to climb the thorns and climb the rock walls, trying to get up the mountain as quickly as possible, so as not to cause another accident.

But alas, they only climbed a few hundred meters and were desperate again.

Because, again, they felt the danger coming.

The rumbling sound of rolling stones resounded through the valley, and the dense rolling stones on the mountain rolled down surgingly.

The most terrifying thing is that above the straight cliff of the main peak, many boulders have fallen.

The boulder fell down to form a huge crater that crushed the soldiers who could not evacuate into meatloaf.

There was even a large lump of stones that fell on the top of King Yuan's head.

King Yuan's pupils contracted violently, and he leaped up from his horse, but his horse suffered and was directly crushed into a meatloaf by the stone.

The soldiers who didn't know how to do light work could only wait for death, watching the boulder smash at them, unable to hide, and watching themselves being smashed into the meatloaf.

"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw."

"General, the exit of the canyon has been blocked by boulders, and you can't get out."

"What to do? Checkmate? ”

The boulder rolled for a while before stopping, and the soldiers in the canyon decreased sharply, and those who survived were all those who had some martial arts, and those who moved faster, flew up and climbed the big tree, and escaped.

Or, prostrate on the ground, quickly lie down in a pit, and luckily temporarily pick up a life.

What made them desperate was that the bows and crossbows they brought that needed to be carried by a few people, more than a dozen, had been smashed by the boulders and scrapped.

In this case, should we continue to work on the mountain? If one is not done well, it may be wiped out.

Several generals looked at each other, at a loss, and they all stared at King Yuan with frightened eyes, asking him to make an idea.

King Yuan rubbed his face vigorously, his face showed pain, and said in a deep voice: "This king has received news that most of the people in the Huaishan faction have been poisoned, but they don't know it yet.

When they use their internal force, they will know that they will not be able to exert their strength at all.

So, we still have a chance to win. ”

Several generals had no choice but to nod, for the sake of today, they had to bite the bullet.

The defeated army will be miserable, if you go back, there will be no good fruit to eat, if you fight again, there is still hope.

If you can bring Mei Mantian's head back, you can also make up for it.

King Yuan's whole heart was burning, and he thought of many kinds of openings, but he never expected such a scene to be used as the opening battle.

The few remaining soldiers fought again and continued to climb up.

Their military spirit has actually collapsed.

That is, instinctively obey the command and continue to climb up.

However, when they curled up and crawled for a short while, they realized that something was wrong.

Shouts of killing came from all directions, as if thousands of troops were surging towards them.

The soldiers were even more frightened, and as they climbed the mountain, their legs trembled and their teeth rattled up and down.

King Yuan looked murderous, took out his weapon, and waited solemnly.
