At this time, it is useless to regret it, Wen Haizheng can only immediately gather people and horses to recapture the city gate as quickly as possible, and everything has a chance to recover. However, Wen Haizheng faintly felt in his heart that the general trend had gone!

The army that had just been sent back to rest was called back again, and Wen Hai was leading people to rush to the city gate as fast as possible. When I saw it, I arrived at the city gate, and I saw a figure facing the black press, neatly stopped in the middle of the road. The first person with a purple armor handsome face was Sima Hongyan, the lord of Yanling Feng.

As soon as she saw Wen Haizheng, who was in a hurry, she smiled, waved her hand and shouted, "General Wen!" I didn't expect to meet again so soon after saying goodbye! ”

Wen Haizheng was so angry with her that he almost vomited blood, he roared, and rushed up with a shout.

Suddenly, there was a dense bowstring sound from behind Sima Hongyan, and a cloud of black mist flew towards Wen Haizheng's army.

Wen Haizheng was startled, brandished his long sword to block the flying arrows, and his generals also raised their shields to block. Who knew that at this time, there was another bowstring sound from both sides, and it turned out that Sima Hongyan had also ambushed archers on the left and right wings, and Wen Haizheng's troops happened to be in the center of the arrow rain.

Tonight is simply Wen Haizheng's nightmare, he was calculated by Sima Hongyan one after another, as if everything tonight was under Sima Hongyan's control. Anger, humiliation, unwillingness, all kinds of complex emotions filled Wen Haizheng's chest, and he was almost driven crazy.

That's it! Looking at the rain of arrows coming from three sides, even the gods couldn't avoid it, but they didn't expect that today would become the end of his Wen Haizheng, and maybe it would also be the end of Dongning.

The guards behind them saw that their general gave up resistance in the rain of arrows, they risked their lives and raised their shields to block Wen Haizheng's body, and they themselves were shot by countless arrows in the blink of an eye, and fell softly.

Seeing the guards who had followed him for many years die in front of him to protect himself, Wen Haizheng felt a sharp pain in his heart, but before he had time to be sad, he felt a piercing pain in his heart, and his eyes were dark, so he planted his horse.

The Yanling army occupied a favorable terrain, the reinforcements brought by Wen Haizheng suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining soldiers saw that the commander had fallen off his horse, and the general trend was gone, so they lost their armor and fled in fear.

Sima Hongyan ordered Xiao Hongying to set up a defensive line in a favorable position, and once Dongning knew that the East City Gate was lost, he would definitely send troops from all over the country to support.

Unlike other countries, Dongning is not a mortal threat in that it is not a mortal threat to breach a city gate. Dongning's defense relied not only on the city walls, but also on dangerous places. Taking advantage of the coastal advantages, Dongning's fortifications were the most complex and rigorous of the five kingdoms. Therefore, even if Sima Hongyan entered the city, he did not dare to march in a big way, so he could only step by step and slowly figure it out.

However, entering the East City Gate is considered a victory, and after the Yanling army set up a defensive line, they will rest in the East City that night, and they will wait for tomorrow dawn to make plans.

In order to prevent the enemy from taking the back road, Sima Hongyan left a heavy defense at the east city gate, which was a retreat and could not be lost.

That night, the news of Wen Haizheng's death in battle was transmitted back to the Dongning Imperial City, and Lan Shengwen was shocked and convened his ministers overnight to discuss countermeasures. Not only Wen Haizheng died in battle, but the sixth princess Lan Aoxin and Zhou Fanqi, the son of the Taishi, also fell into the hands of the Yanling people, and their life and death are unknown. Even the Six Dao Hades who were sent to assassinate Sima Hongyan were arrested by Sima Hongyan with a trick.

Lan Shengwen has been an emperor for more than 20 years, and today he felt panic for the first time.

Wen Hai is a famous general in Dongning, and he failed so quickly that everyone began to re-examine the current Yanling military. The person who bullied Sima Hongyan before and didn't take her seriously at all now secretly regretted that he was once a light enemy, and now he has paid a painful price, and he is ashamed.

Now that Sima Hongyan is leading the army, serious disagreements have begun to occur in the Dongning court. The civil officials advocated peace, and the military generals advocated fighting to the death, and each reason was to admonish Lan Shengwen to death. Lan Shengwen felt that both sides made sense, and couldn't help but hesitate. Unable to make up his mind, he immediately ordered someone to write a letter to King Hong and ask for his opinion, after all, King Hong knew the situation best in the war.

King Hong was on his way to the east city gate, and when he was resting at night, he got the news that the east gate was lost and Wen Hai was dying in battle. At this moment, there was only one day left before Dongcheng, and King Hong was worried that the Yanling army would attack overnight, so he immediately put the whole army on alert.

In the morning, the spies reported back and reported to King Hong in detail that the Yanling soldiers had designed to capture the six princesses, the princes, and the assassins, and that they had infiltrated the city gate in disguise as Dongning soldiers.

King Hong originally thought that this raid could cause a sudden blow to Sima Hongyan, but he didn't expect that it would make a plan for the family. Not only did he lose the city gate, he broke countless soldiers and horses, but also let a princess and a prince fall into the hands of the other party and become hostages.

After many accidents, Shen Caijie, as the military advisor of King Hong, was also unexpected, and he didn't expect Sima Hongyan, a girl who was only in her twenties, to be so scheming, and even a veteran like Wen Haizheng would be defeated by her. In the contest of wisdom, he also fell behind.

King Hong came to Shen Caijie to discuss the next plan, and he was already a little dissatisfied with Shen Caijie in his tone, the previous series of things were all arranged by Shen Caijie, but now there is no way to play a role, so King Hong has begun to have a trace of doubt about the ability of the military advisor.

And King Hong's doubts made Shen Caijie have a great sense of crisis, if he couldn't think of a way to deal with Sima Hongyan, I'm afraid King Hong would not spare him. Shen Caijie racked his brains to think of a strategy, and his head was unconsciously covered with cold sweat.

On the Dongning side, King Hong and Shen Caijie were planning a way to deal with Sima Hongyan, and Sima Hongyan was also gathering everyone to discuss the strategy of attacking Dongning.

Guo Zidi and Ban Lingruo suggested that the army should drive straight in, directly kill the palace in the capital, and exterminate the Lan royal family in one fell swoop. And Nan Guying and Shi Jinyan suggested getting rid of King Hong first, he was the biggest threat first. As long as King Hong falls, Dongning will be at his fingertips.

After discussion and analysis, Sima Hongyan was inclined to the latter, after all, more than half of Dongning's troops were in the hands of King Hong, and it was of little significance to take the Dongning Palace, and getting rid of King Hong was the top priority. In particular, there is a think tank Shen Caijie under King Hong, and this person's ability should not be underestimated.

After the discussion was completed, Sima Hongyan sent the Hongyan Women's Army to investigate the deployment of King Hong's troops, and the more detailed the information, the better. Either you don't fight, or if you want to fight, you will strive to completely eradicate the forces of King Hong at one time.

For two days in a row, Sima Hongyan and King Hong were not moving, and there was only a day's journey between the two armies, which was very close, and they were trying to find out each other's reality by all means.

Before attacking the East City Gate, Sima Hongyan asked Xiao Hongying to kill three eunuch killer sacrifice banners, leaving only one Heavenly Dao Hades. Leaving him alive was because he didn't participate in the Wilderness War, but it wasn't because of this reason that he had to spare him, it wasn't enough to kill him ten times for the bad things he had done, and let him live temporarily because Sima Hongyan still had something to ask him.

The Heavenly Dao Yama King has been in the palace since he was a child, and has served Lan Shengwen for decades, from Lan Shengwen as a prince until he became the emperor, the Heavenly Dao Yama King has always been by his side. The identity of the killer is only known to Lan Shengwen and the Lan Shengwu brothers, and the others only know that he is the most powerful eunuch Hong Gonggong around the emperor.

Gonggong Hong's martial arts were taught by Lan Shengwen's father, firstly, to protect the safety of the prince, and secondly, to exclude dissidents for the future heir to the throne, so Gonggong Hong's identity is very special, and even Lan Shengwen can't easily kill him.

For this kind of person with unique skills, the Lan clan naturally has a way to control them, and that is to use poison. Eunuchs like Gonggong Hong were forced to take a poison since they were young, and only when the emperor had an antidote, they only needed to take it regularly, and they didn't have to worry about their lives. But if they dare to have different hearts, as soon as the emperor stops the antidote, they will burst into blood and die. So for so many years, the eunuchs such as Gonggong Hong have been loyal to the emperor.

This time, Sima Hongyan led the army to attack Dongning, and he had expected that Dongning would definitely send these killers to ask for his own life, so Sima Hongyan made a plan to capture them early in the morning. These eunuchs who claimed to be the king of Hades had extremely high martial arts, and if they were rounded up with soldiers, they would not only cause a large number of casualties, but they would not necessarily be able to catch them, so Sima Hongyan chose to outwit them.

When the Yanling army was stationed outside the East City Gate, there were female army secret posts all around, as long as someone approached the barracks, they would be discovered by the female soldiers, and Sima Hongyan let the army keep changing positions to confuse the other party's spies, so for a period of time, King Hong never touched the movements of the Yanling army. It wasn't until later that the women's army discovered the anomaly.

The red-faced women's army is a master of ambush and concealment, and the hidden methods of others cannot escape their eyes, but for several days they felt that someone was approaching, but they could not find any trace of each other. Sima Hongyan guessed at that time that he must have met a master, and there can be people in Dongning who can hide from the ears and eyes of female soldiers, and only the masters of the six realms of Hades can do it.

Although these eunuchs have high martial arts, they do not dare to rashly break into the barracks, and if they want to assassinate, they must create chaos and take advantage of the situation. When the female soldiers found out that Wen Hai was leading the troops out of the city late at night, Sima Hongyan expected that this was a sneak attack against her.

So Sima Hongyan set up a bureau, and she asked Shi Tingying to pretend that she was protected by female soldiers to stay in the Chinese army's big tent, and she led the troops to ambush on the periphery to form an encirclement.

Zhong Liying's Chinese military tent was made into two layers, inside and outside. Shi Tingying hid in the inner layer, and the outer layer was reserved for the assassins, Zhong Liying buried several small traps for the assassins, as long as the assassins came in, they would inevitably trigger, and then the poisonous powder would be scattered all over the tent, and they couldn't hide.

Zhong Liying's ability to use poison has been superb, and the effect of the drugs she developed is even more remarkable.

That night, Wen Hai was leading the troops to sneak attack, and several assassins hid in the dark to observe, female soldiers are good at makeup and disguise, Shi Tingying looked like Sima Hongyan with cold eyes after changing her appearance, and she really hid from a few cautious assassins.

Fortunately, Shi Tingying also has a pair of phoenix eyes, otherwise it would not be easy to disguise herself as Sima Hongyan. Because Sima Hongyan's pair of phoenix eyes are too distinctive, both beautiful and charming, which is rare for ordinary people.

Fortunately, the eunuch is not a normal man and is not interested in women, so they haven't noticed some details, otherwise it's really hard to say whether they can hide it.

They observed for a long time, and after determining that the woman in the Chinese military tent was Sima Hongyan, these people took action. In order to play realistically, the female soldiers in charge of the guards really tried their best to fight the assassins, fortunately, the target of these eunuchs was Sima Hongyan and did not entangle with others, otherwise there would inevitably be casualties among the female soldiers with their martial arts.

The result can be imagined, as soon as the military tent in China was empty, Gonggong Hong and the others immediately realized that they had been fooled, turned around and left.
