Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Battle of the Tiger's Teeth

The palace of the kingdom finally ushered in its new master, a young king, wearing a crown, blessed by the fortune of the country, making the momentum of the body magnificent!

"The king has first ascended to the throne, but there are still rebels in the country, and Weichen thinks that it should be solved as soon as possible, otherwise, the country will be in turmoil and the society will be unstable!" Lu Ding bowed and said.

When Gong Xuanwu heard this, thinking of the previous defeat, his face couldn't help but become gloomy and said:

"Lu Aiqing is right, I am orthodox, I ascended the throne as a king, they should submit to me, but now they are establishing a small court in the Xingzhong region and the Wangguan area, this is a contempt for orthodoxy, everyone Aiqing, who will come up with the idea!"

As soon as the words fell, an originally neutral minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you and His Royal Highness the Third Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess are all members of the palace royal family, if you send troops to attack, wouldn't it be a joke for the people of the world to see each other, and the same clan will fight against each other, but it is a big taboo, Weichen thinks that you should send someone to persuade you to surrender, and peace is precious!"

The continent of all nations has a strong clan relationship, advocating clan unity, family harmony, and harmony among neighbors, which is particularly important in the war-torn era.

"Smack!"

The emperor's heart was unpredictable, and Gong Xuanwu, who was full of ruthlessness towards Gong Xuanzhi and Gong Bingxue, listened to it, and was furious in his heart, and slapped the imperial case with both hands and said:

"Shut up, the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, they actually rebelled and didn't kill them, how do I govern the world, how the world thinks of me, they will laugh at me for being incompetent, understand?"

"The king is angry!"

The ministers bowed, they felt a terrifying momentum, which made them feel uncomfortable, this is the imperial momentum, a word will determine life and death!

"Calm your anger, there is no good way, how do you let me calm my anger, I decided to send troops to the battle, calm the war, and restore the peace of Qingxiao Kingdom!

Gong Xuanwu sat down on the throne again, took out a holy decree, wrote and spoke, and finally covered it with a jade seal.

Ordered by the sky, Guotai Yong'an!

"Obey the order!"

Lu Ding refused in his heart, and vigorously supported Gong Xuanwu to become the king of Qingxiao, just for the sake of glory and wealth, and the prosperity of the family, and he was unwilling to go out to fight.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and many people are dying in vain, although he has martial strength, he is not completely sure that he will survive on the battlefield.

But he can't refuse, military power is the guarantee of rule, is the foundation of their life, Gong Xuanwu definitely doesn't worry about the rest of the people leading the army, so he can only choose him.

"Well, appoint Lu Ding Aiqing as the general of the town, lead 400,000 troops, go out to the Xingzhong region, quell the rebellion, and disperse the dynasty!"

Because he was worried that some people would oppose him, after Gong Xuanwu finished speaking, he dissolved the court meeting and strode out of the National Palace!

Two days later, 50,000 Praetorian Guards, plus 350,000 troops near Xiao Yuncheng, with a large number of weapons, marched towards the central region.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the war, Gong Xuanwu issued an edict to increase from the annual double endowment to three endowments.

Officials at all levels just took this opportunity to embezzle, sent government soldiers, grabbed food, encroached on land, and the people were zombies on the land, there was no ration, and the displaced people gradually appeared.

Hengyuan City, the main city in the central region, is also the largest city in the nearby four counties, the city wall is tall and thick, built by the mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, only one side leads to the outside world, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also the Xingzhong court of the palace Xuanzhi now.

Due to the special topography, this is also the second largest weapon production area in Qingxiao Country, with thousands of armor and weapons being produced every day, continuously replenishing military supplies!

The city lord's mansion has now been changed to the Xingzhong Palace, which is dedicated to discussing the seat of the government, and countless generals of the Xingzhong Army have come in and out, which shows that the government affairs are busy.

"King, Lu Ding led an army of 400,000 and is ready to go, coming to us, we need to take precautions as soon as possible!"

Jiang Hua, the general of the Xingzhong Army, commanded 200,000 troops, and his ability and strength reached the realm of martial arts, he was a typical hawk, advocating external expansion, training, commanding troops, and his combat skills were all first-class, and now he is the great Sima of the Xingzhong Imperial Court!

"This king already knows about this, but I didn't expect Gong Xuanwu to be so anxious and not give us a chance to breathe at all!"

Gong Xuanzhi, who was sitting on the brand-new throne, said coldly, because it is not orthodox, the blessing of the national fortune is not strong, and there is a little bit of imperial momentum missing from his body!

"Don't be discouraged, your subordinates are sure to win this battle, but you must give up Qingding and Qinghui counties, and resist the enemy army with the help of antennas in Qingquan Huya Pass. Jiang Hua pondered.

Now the four counties ruled by Gong Xuanzhi include Qinghan County, Qingquan Army, Qingding County, Qinghui County, among which Qingding and Qinghui counties are flat and there is no natural danger at all, and Qingquan County, the mountains are vertical and horizontal, and it is difficult for cavalry to fight in it, and there is Huya Pass, this treasure land.

Qingquan tiger teeth, ghosts and gods open up;

Lonely souls are hard to enter, and birds are around!

In Jiang Hua's opinion, with such a terrain, it is easy to resist the 400,000 troops led by Lu Ding!

After all, it is the land of two counties, occupying half of his sphere of influence, Gong Xuanzhi thought for a while, sighed and said: "According to what Da Sima said, give up the two counties and defend with land risks." ”

"The king is wise!" Jiang Hua said happily after hearing this.

After discussing the policy, the people of Qingding and Qinghui counties moved to Qingquan County in large numbers, and all of them were transported to Qinghan and Qingquan counties without leaving any grain, weapons, baht, and livestock.

At Huya Pass, tens of thousands of troops set up camp, cut down trees around them, and stored water sources to prevent enemy attacks!

Fire oil, stones, wood, arrows and other defensive equipment were transported in large quantities to Huya Mountain on the edge of Huya Pass in case of emergency.

After everything was done, the army led by Lu Ding with a gloomy face arrived as scheduled, and the 400,000 troops were outside the Huya Pass, forming dozens of phalanxes, stretching for several miles.

"Retreat to ten miles and set up camp!"

Seeing Jiang Hua on the Huya Pass, the pass was full of soldiers, and the terrain leading to the city wall was long and narrow, which was very unfavorable for the siege, in order to protect more troops, Lu Ding chose to retreat, observe the situation clearly and then capture the pass.

"Woo!"

The next day, when the sky was bright, Lu Ding, who had been thinking for no success all night, ordered the army to launch a tentative attack, and rushed to Huya Pass with siege engines, ladders, and wooden ladders.

The sword and shield soldiers were in front, the broadsword soldiers were in the middle, and the archers were in the back, and more than a dozen spiritual powerhouses were mixed in the army, slowly groping their way to the edge of the city wall.

"There are enemy troops!"

"Whoa!"

Through the fog, after approaching the city wall for more than 200 meters, it was discovered, and immediately sent out a rain of arrows.

The imperial army led by Lu Ding increased the speed of walking, and the archers behind stopped moving forward, stationed in place, and drew their bows and shot arrows.

"Catapult Attack!"

The moment Jiang Huazai started the war, he rushed to the city wall and calmly commanded the war.
