Chapter 263: West Chicheng is broken

"Siege!"

With Apu's order, five white elephants rushed to the city gate, and the heavy city gate, which was responsible for defending against the enemy, immediately made a squeaky sound.

The scene of the white elephant crashing into the city gate is not something that can be seen anywhere, although Ah Xiu, who has lived on the border of the dynasty for a long time, can occasionally see merchants riding elephants back and forth, but it is the first time he has encountered the scene of dozens of giant elephants taking turns to attack the city like this.

In the previous battle, every time the 800 elephant soldiers were dispatched, the opposite side was so frightened that their legs trembled, and when the giant elephant rushed to the enemy formation, the other party turned his head and ran away, without the slightest intention of resisting.

Now the army in the city is out of the way, just giving the White Elephant Army a chance to play its role, less than ten rounds of continuous impact, the city gate is already crumbling, and the soldiers behind the city gate are still trying their best to resist.

But after all, manpower could not be compared with the giant elephant, and after a quarter of an hour of hard work, a city gate was finally overwhelmed and collapsed, stirring up smoke and dust in the sky.

The soldiers who didn't have time to escape after the door were directly smashed into pulp by the thousand-pound giant gate, and they couldn't die anymore. Dozens of white elephants roared like a majestic force, and the scene was quite spectacular.

"Into town!"

Apu turned over and rode a white elephant and commanded in a deep voice.

The city was in chaos at this time, and the soldiers who should have resisted were frightened by the sight outside the city gates, and at this moment, completely ignoring the shouts of the commander, threw down their spears and broadswords and fled to the rear.

As soon as the officer of the formation slashed over a deserter with a knife, he was pushed down by another deserter, and then more than ten people stepped on him, if it were not for the armor body, I am afraid that he would become the first officer in the history of Xichi to be trampled to death by the deserter.

When he staggered to his feet, he was stunned to find that there were no soldiers around him, except for a little monk standing in front of him.

"Oh Buddha Buddha, the general trend has gone, the donor should leave as soon as possible."

After the little monk finished speaking, he turned to look at the white elephant army that was walking towards this direction not far away.

The officer's eyes hesitated, but only for a moment, his eyes became firm again. He drew his saber from his waist, took a step forward, blocked the little monk behind him, and then raised the tip of his sword tremblingly and pointed it at the elephant herd ahead.

Although he is only an eight-rank petty officer, his ancestors have also been generals, and this honor makes him have no room to retreat.

The little monk clasped his hands together, didn't say anything, and quietly looked at the White Elephant Army, which had already approached.

……

Apu stopped the giant elephant beneath him, leaned over to look at the officer, and spoke in a deep voice:

"Get out of the way!"

The sword-wielding officer's hands began to tremble, but he still had the courage to say:

"Don't."

"Wari, I respect you for being a talent, but loyalty and foolish loyalty are two different things, you know the two royal brothers' personalities best, do you want the country to fall into their hands?"

Apu said with a frown.

She didn't need to talk to a small officer, but along the way, she had been so disappointed in the Western Red Army that fled without a fight, and now this officer dared to draw his sword and face him, which made her admire.

"Oh Buddha Buddha."

At the time of the stalemate, the little monk behind the officer recited a Buddha name and interrupted the two, "The little monk has a reluctant request, and I hope the donor will agree." ”

Xichi Shangfo, as the princess of the royal family, Apu is no exception, she did not directly refuse, but asked:

"I don't know what the little master has to ask for?"

"The little monk begs the donor not to go any further."

Without waiting for Apu to reply, Anand behind her drove forward and said:

"The monks don't care about the world, and the little master can't help but be too lenient."

The little monk still had a calm face, and said lightly:

"If the donor insists on entering the city, even if the two princes are defeated, they will inevitably fight to the death, and many innocent people will suffer because of this.

If the princess can be trusted, the little monk is willing to enter the palace to persuade the two princes to let them put down the butcher knife, and the princess only needs to promise to give them a way to live. ”

Seeing that the war was losing and retreating, his sister's team was getting stronger and stronger, and he had no intention of fighting, but joined forces, buried thousands of catties of gunpowder in the entire imperial city, just waiting for the other party to attack the palace, and then wiped it out.

If the palace is gone, it can be rebuilt, and the people can multiply when it is gone, but if the throne is gone, there is nothing.

The reason why the officer named Wari blocked the way was also because he knew the inside story, so he wanted to avoid all this from happening as much as possible.

……

If she could choose, Apu was naturally reluctant to meet the two brothers, but unfortunately the other party did not want to stop, for the sake of the future of the entire Xichi, she had to be ruthless to take the throne.

However, she finally agreed to the little monk's request and ordered her 50,000 soldiers and 800 white elephants to withdraw from the capital and wait for a response.

Regarding this little monk who still did not change his face in front of the army, Apu probably also had some guesses in his heart.

This year is supposed to be a 10-year Dharma conference, and all the years the Buddhist conference is run by the royal family, and this year, looking at this scene, there is a chance that it will be delayed.

However, I heard that a living Buddha from the Central Plains came to Vizhen Temple a month ago, and I think that this little monk should be the disciple and grandchild of the living Buddha...... Even if Princess Apu of Xichi was smart, she didn't expect that the living Buddha in the Central Plains would be a twelve-year-old child.

Xichi Palace, two men dressed in red python robes have gloomy faces, Xichi python robes are very different from the dynasty, Xichi does not have a real dragon, the pattern on the python robe is a kind of lizard in the legend, this lizard has a single horn on the top of its head, it is said to be the mount of a certain Buddha in Tantra.

The two men are very similar in appearance and temperament, and they are brothers of the same father and mother.

At first, they only regarded each other as opponents for the throne, and did not take the concubine sister who had been captured by the dynasty for several years in their eyes.

Unexpectedly, the two fought halfway, and the sister, who had always been inconspicuous, suddenly appeared on the Xichi border with 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Later, the eldest prince won over Banerjee, who had 800 white elephant soldiers, and planned to borrow the other party's hand to seize the throne.

The eldest prince did not think that this move might lead the wolf into the house, but he also knew that as long as Apu hooked his finger, Anand, who was guarding the frontier, would come to help with 30,000 horses.

In the end, after much consideration, the Grand Prince decided to accept Banerjee's aid.

Later, as he expected, Anand brought men and horses to reinforce Apu, but he didn't expect that even the White Elephant Army in Banerjee's hands also joined Apu's camp.

The eldest prince panicked all of a sudden, and had to put down his body and ask to join forces with the second prince, after all, the two are brothers who broke bones and tendons, if Xichi wants to produce a new monarch, then he must choose one from the two.

If the throne is taken away by Apu, not only will they become a joke, but even their mother, Empress Gong, will also become a joke.

After joining forces, the two thought that they would win, but who knew that the ferocity of the 800 white elephant soldiers was far beyond their imagination, plus the 30,000 soldiers who had been working hard in the frontier all the year round, directly beat those soldiers who were used to living a stable life in the hinterland to the point of being powerless.

The two watched their power weaken and weaken, but they couldn't do anything about it. At this moment, Empress Gong thought of a poisonous plan for her two sons - to blow up the palace.

------Off topic------

It's been a while since the manuscript was used up, and now it's staying up late every day to code words, and the next day I have to finish it early and send it up, which is a bit rushed.

In addition, I have been staying up too hard for a while recently, and my body can't stand it a little, so I want to take a day off tomorrow.

Asking for leave is not to be lazy, but to code words in a better state, sorry for everyone.
