Chapter 296: The Battle Begins

As time passed, the first person to do it was Xiang Wentian.

As long as the reason is that the black-robed old man received a secret letter from the fifth prince Yongde, explaining that he had led the army to the north, so he asked Xiang Wentian to lead troops south to help attack the imperial capital together, so as to obtain imperial power.

It's just that what Emperor Yongde didn't know was that it was because Xiang Wentian waved the banner of the Yongde Dynasty that he forced all the city guards of some originally wavering cities to the side of the eldest prince Yongchun.

This is something that no one expected.

As for Emperor Yongde, he also received the news that the eldest prince was besieged, although he went north, but the speed was not fast, it was just a city-by-city advancement, and it was very stable to take a step and stop.

But Xiang Wentian was the opposite, waving all the way south, and soon encountered the first big city in Shuguang County to seal the city, and the city lord Wu Zide belonged to the nature of the wall grass.

The eldest prince Yongchun also sent someone to contact, hoping that this goods could help, but at that time, Wu Zide did not want to get involved in the prince's struggle for power, so he remained neutral.

But when Xiang Wentian led an army of 400,000 and carried countless grains and grasses to the south, the first obstacle he encountered was the closure of the city, and he sent envoys to Wentian to accept Wu Zide.

It's just that the cunning Wu Zide did not agree to surrender, but he did not say that he would not surrender, and dragged the matter down under the pretext that he needed to think carefully.

But Wu Zide's stupidity is that although it dragged down, it never fell to which side, but waited for the side with the highest chips to fall to which side.

is also official, Wu Zide buried his life with his own hands, of course, this is a later story, not to mention it for the time being.

Inside the garrison tent outside the closed city.

At this time, Xiang Wentian was already angry and angry, for no other reason, Wu Zide's delay lasted for 5 days, and Xiang Wentian did not move an inch in these five days due to the blockade of the city.

On the sixth day, even the old man in the black robe couldn't stand it, and the two of them already knew that it would definitely not work if it dragged on like this, but Wu Zide immediately closed the city gate after the messenger left the city.

Then all the city guards were pulled up to the head of the city to defend, so it was impossible to break the city directly at this time.

Therefore, in the early morning of the sixth day, under the usurpation of the black-robed old man, Xiang Wentian again sent an envoy to the front gate to discuss.

This time, Wu Zide didn't see it at all, and let the messenger call in front of the city gate for more than half an hour.

More than half an hour later, the envoy had no choice but to retreat to the big tent of the Chinese army, and reported to Xiang Wentian truthfully, and Xiang Wentian was angry and directly shot the case, and after letting the envoy go down, he directly recruited several regiment commanders of the border guards and the old man in black robes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this Wu Zide who is locked down is not a thing, he actually plays this game with us, I am not ready to continue to wait, which regiment commander is willing to lead his troops to break the city?"

When the words fell, several regiment leaders, you looked at me, I looked at you, but they didn't speak, and the scene suddenly fell into silence.

After half a ring, Xiang Wentian glanced at these human-looking regiment commanders, and with a direct wave of his hand, all the legions launched an attack on the city, charging from the east, west, and north gates.

And Beicheng directly sent 200,000 people, vowing to break through the blockade.

Just before Xiang Wentian was about to launch soldiers to prepare to storm the city, Wu Zide met with a messenger, and this envoy was none other than someone else, officially sent by the Great Prince.

While the conversation was being very pleasant, the drum beat to ask the sky.

At the moment when the drum sounded, Wu Zideteng stood up in an instant and looked at the north city gate.

And when he heard this voice, it was not only Wu Zide, but also the envoy of the eldest prince who was chatting with Wu Zide, but his performance was not as big as Wu Zide's, but the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, revealing an expression of God helping me.

After saying that Wu Zide heard the sound of the drum, he immediately raised his hand and clenched his fist and said to the envoy, "Lord Envoy, I'm sorry, it seems that we have to talk about it later, and I will go and deal with the military affairs first." ”

And after Wu Zide went out of the palace gate and rode the war horse that the upper and lower people moved over, he clamped the horse's belly and went directly down the avenue to the north city gate.

At this time, the total number of troops in the closed city was less than 90,000, and the city guards were 80,000, which was the standard, and the city guards of the basically less important cities were only 80,000 people, and the extra ones were the guards of the city lord.

And the city guard who commanded the siege was the fake monk Wei Zhongxian.

If you want to talk about this Wei Zhongxian, it is a legendary experience, the original Wei Zhongxian served in the Central Army of the imperial court and was a regiment commander. It's just that Wei Zhongxian has a hobby that doesn't match his name.

That is lustful, Wei Zhongxian is very lustful, it can be said that he is the best in color. But in the imperial capital before, it was somewhat restrained, for no other reason, just relying on the identity of the commander of the central army, it was not a fart in the imperial capital.

It's just that I still can't contain my lustful nature.,After a party with colleagues to drink.,On the street,I met a good-looking woman from a good family.。

And Wei Zhongxian, who was drunk, finally took this woman to his mansion and clicked it directly under the usurpation of his colleagues, but this matter was known to the people in his family.

The last complaint came to the front of the emperor, although Wei Zhongxian was lustful but not easy to kill, he was stunned when he woke up, and finally the emperor was embarrassed and married this Gu Liang directly.

Because of this, he was demoted to the city as the leader of a city guard by a paper document from the original emperor.

As for why the emperor didn't kill Wei Zhongxian directly, the reason is that Wei Zhongxian has his own ability, although his cultivation is not high, but he has a good brain and is a handsome talent.

The emperor also cherished his talents a little, and he had made a lot of military exploits against other countries in the past, so he took his life.

And after the closure of the city, Wei Zhongxian, who is far away from the emperor and no one can manage, has exposed his lustful heart to the fullest, and the concubine alone has already accepted 10 rooms.

And Wu Zide also turned a blind eye to this, but this time he came to Wentian, Wu Zide found Wei Zhongxian as soon as possible, and then dragged it under Wei Zhongxian's suggestion, so as to hoard the baggage for himself to defend the city and so on.

It is precisely because of Wei Zhongxian's lust that every time he takes a concubine, he says that he will no longer marry, and he will become a monk when he marries, but he has not once cashed it out, so the people give him a nickname, a fake monk.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian, who heard the sound of the drums, had already gotten up from the big tent, quickly ordered the drummer to beat the drum to prepare for battle, and then carried a glaive knife and went straight to the city tower.

When Wei Zhongxian went up to the city wall, he saw that the black pressure in the distance had been pressed over, and when he saw this, Wei Zhongxian knew that no matter how stupid he was, Xiang Wentian couldn't wait, and directly attacked him.

"General Wei, the enemy is coming, what should we do?"

At this time, there were 4 regiment commanders around Wei Zhongxian, and at this time, they asked one by one, and they didn't know what to do, because they hadn't really fought before.

So this time it's a bit of a six-god master.

"Calm, what are you panicking about, what kind of system is it?"

Wei Zhongxian is worthy of being the head of the regiment who participated in the defense of the southern border, and he is no stranger to such a siege, so although he is a little nervous at this moment, he is not flustered.

With Wei Zhongxian's scolding, the restless four gradually eased up.

"Li Bujing, Shi Bufan, the two of you led your own corps to defend on the east and west walls respectively, remember, you must wait until you are within the firing range before you can release arrows. ”

"It's... Subordinates take orders!"

The two bent down to receive the order, and then ran directly down the city wall, ordering their soldiers and horses to run to the east and west.

"Yuen Long, Shi Da, the two of you are stationed here, Yuen Long will send 5,000 soldiers and horses to me to lead, I will go to the south city gate to guard, you two must guard the north city gate for me, Yuen Long is responsible for commanding, if anyone is slack, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

At this time, Wei Zhongxian did not have that squinting look, but instead had a serious face, showing the masculinity that a general should have.

"It's... Subordinates receive orders. ”

Then Wei Zhongxian rushed to the south gate with 5,000 soldiers and horses, although it was said that the south gate was facing the direction of the imperial capital, and it stands to reason that Xiang Wentian would not send troops to attack.

But it is necessary to guard against others, and if they send a small force of the enemy to attack the city from the south gate, it will be a great sin.

When all the defenses here were completed, Wu Zide also rushed to the tower of the north city gate, but he didn't see Wei Zhongxian, and his brows immediately furrowed.

Seeing where Yuen Long was arranging his troops, he shouted directly, "Yuen Long, where are your generals? Don't tell me that you are still in the comfort nest and have not come out." ”

Because of Wei Zhongxian's lustful nature, the entire city knew that Wu Zide didn't see him commanding on the city wall at this time, and his lungs suddenly exploded. So the exit scolded directly.

"Uh... That city lord, you misunderstood, General Wei had already come, and had already ordered us to garrison the city wall, and he himself led his troops to the south gate. ”

Yuen Long, who was named by Wu Zide, was stunned by Wu Zide, and then had to explain to avoid misunderstanding.

When he heard Yuen Long say that Wei Zhongxian ran to the south gate, he suddenly became even more angry, and roared directly, "Useless waste, just know how to roll a woman's belly, as soon as there is a fight, I will avoid it from afar, waste." ”

Wu Zide scolded and scolded, but he still began to patrol, because of this kung fu, the border guards of Xiang Wentian were already approaching the range of bows and arrows.

Yuen Long saw that the enemy army was about to approach the attack range, so he didn't pay attention to Wu Zide, but just reminded him to quickly go down the city wall, and then stood on top of the city tower, holding the order flag.

Seeing that it was almost at range, he suddenly roared, "Archers prepare, bow up." ”

"Bow up"

"Bow up"

One after another the command was given, and all the archers drew their arrows and bent their bows, but they did not shoot.

Time passed minute by minute, when the vanguard of the border guards had exceeded the range, Yuen Long calmly did not give the order to release the arrows, and Shi Da glanced at it, wanting to remind him, but still did not say it.

When about 2 regiments had crossed the range line, Yuen Long finally roared "Shoot the arrows"

"Shoot the Arrow"

"Shoot the Arrow"

With the roar of Yuen Long, all the archers immediately let go of the arrows in their hands, and 20,000 feathered arrows suddenly rose from the top of the city wall and flew towards the border guards.

And a regiment commander in the middle of the border guards, seeing that the sky suddenly darkened, immediately knew that it was not good, but it was too late.
