The capital of the Zhao Kingdom, Yecheng is now in chaos.

With the rebellion of the crown prince Shi Xuan, Shi Hu never expected that in a hurry, Shi Xuan would be able to gather so many troops to launch a coup d'état!

Not to mention the city guards and patrol battalions, which are relatively poor in combat effectiveness, among the seven military horses stationed near Yecheng, including the guards of the East Palace, the old Shitao Division, the Old Kui'an Division, and the Maqiu Division, the entire four divisions of soldiers and horses have become rebels, and under the banner of Shi Xuan, they launched an attack on Jianzhang Palace.

Among them, there were many rebels among Li Nong and Shi Bin's subordinates, and for a while, there were three or four hundred thousand rebels!

What is even more incredible is that many soldiers do not know what they are doing, and many of them even scatter and flee, or rape and plunder in the city, and do all kinds of evil!

Shi Zun and Shi Jian have led the remnants to retreat into Jianzhang Palace, but the strength of Jianzhang Palace is still overstretched, barely able to resist the siege of the rebels, but it can't withstand it for long.

"When will Shi Min and Shi Bin and their reinforcements arrive?" Shi Hu asked this question more than once, but no one could answer him.

"Kill!"

The battle of Jianzhang Palace was in full swing, and the rebel soldiers wearing red cloth belts and wearing stubborn clothes climbed up the ladder, but they were often killed by random arrows, or hit by stones and rolling logs falling from above, and died violently.

The rebels were in a hurry and did not carry any decent siege equipment.

Originally, in Shi Xuan's plan, Hao Zhao led the troops to open the palace gate to respond, and the inside and outside should be combined. But Hao Zhao has been ambushed, and if the rebels want to capture Jianzhang Palace, they can only work hard and besiege Jianzhang Palace with crowd tactics.

"Father, look!"

Looking in the direction of Yiyang Gongshijian's finger, he saw a large area of black pressure, crowded and impenetrable rebel phalanx, and suddenly there was a commotion.

This was not an internal strife among the rebels, but a panic caused by the attack of the enemy forces in the rear, and they began to arrange their troops and change their formations under the command of their respective generals.

"It's Shi Bin! It's Shi Bin's soldiers and horses! Shi Hu shouted, "Soldiers! Our reinforcements have arrived! ”

I saw that among the flags of the chaotic army, the banners with the words "Yangong Shibin" were swaying, waving in the wind.

Everyone was originally Zhao Jun, and their clothes and armor were exactly the same. But now that each is its own master, the rebels wore red bands around their arms to distinguish them.

Shi Bin took the lead, holding a Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand and rushing left and right, under the cover of the nearby guards, Shi Bin showed extraordinary bravery, and there was almost no enemy under his men.

"Hah!" Shi Bin snorted vigorously, and directly swept away with his halberd, slapping the three rebel soldiers who were blocking in front of him.

Another stab, picking off an enemy on the left.

But the number of rebels was so great that they were all killed, and the enemy still pounced on them.

Seeing this scene, Shi Hu immediately said in a deep voice: "Which of you wants to go out to pick up Shi Bin?" ”

"My son is willing to go!"

"The last will go!" Shi Zun, Shi Jian, as well as the generals present such as Tao Leopard and Guo Tai all said in unison.

"Shi Zun, you go. I will give you 3,000 elite soldiers, as well as 800 Dragon Teng Guards, be sure to bring Shi Bin and his subordinates in! ”

"No!"

Shi Zun immediately took the order, lit up the army, opened the palace gate, and went out directly, breaking into the enemy formation like a torrent.

The place in front of the palace gate was extremely empty, enough to accommodate 100,000 people, so the battle in this place was like a wilderness, which was very suitable for the cavalry to gallop.

After losing thousands of soldiers, Shi Bin's troops and horses finally retreated into Jianzhang Palace in a panic under the cover of Shi Zunjun.

Seeing that Shi Bin's clothes and armor were stained with blood and panting, Shi Hu frowned and said, "Shi Bin, how many reinforcements have you brought this time?" ”

"Father, less than 20,000."

"Why so little?"

"When Erchen went to the camp, his subordinates Guo Rong, Li Si and other six people had already rebelled, and they led their troops to rebel out of the camp, and now they are among the rebels! The more than 20,000 soldiers and horses of Erchen still collected some defeated soldiers along the way, so that they could enter the city and enter the king. ”

"Hateful!" Shi Hu gritted his teeth and said.

In fact, it is no wonder that Shi Bin could not restrain the soldiers under his command, long before the formation of the army, it was Shi Hu who deliberately broke up the establishment of various departments, so that the soldiers and horses of each department could check and balance each other, and prevent the emergence of a situation of dominance in the army.

Unexpectedly, the causes I planted back then have now tasted the bitter fruits.

"Father, what are we going to do now?" Shi Bin asked.

"The rebels are strong, but they can't last long. What about Li Nong, Shi Min, and Kui'an? Why haven't their soldiers arrived yet? ”

When Shi Bin heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Father, the reinforcements of the old general Kui'an can't be counted on. According to them, Zhu Bao has rebelled and killed the old general Kui'an, and now almost all the soldiers and horses of Kui'an have rebelled, and they are helping to abuse the rebels! ”

"Kui'an...... How dare you be fierce!? Shi Hu was angry and ruined.

Shi Bin said again: "Father, it is necessary to think about it carefully. The soldiers and horses of Kui'an's department have been rebellious, plus the original guards of the East Palace, the soldiers and horses of the Shi Tao Department and the Maqiu Department, among the seven armies near Yecheng, there are four rebels, and there are rebels among the various departments, and their strength should exceed 400,000! Father, now that the tide is over. ”

"So what do you say?"

"Father, now we only have two paths to follow. One is to wait for reinforcements, waiting for Shi Min and Li Nong's reinforcements to arrive, consume the fighting spirit of the rebels, force them to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, or a miracle appears, our army can win more with less and defeat the rebels! One retreated elsewhere, gathered soldiers and horses from all walks of life across the country, and raised troops to serve the king! ”

"I'm going to wait for Shi Min!"

……

Seeing that Shi Bin's troops and horses had entered Jianzhang Palace, Shi Xuan's face couldn't help but sink like water, and without saying a word, he returned to his temporary Chinese army tent and summoned the generals.

The rebels' siege of Jianzhang Palace did not stop, and for a while, although the rebels were outnumbered, there were as many as three or four hundred thousand, but they could not capture the fortress-like Jianzhang Palace.

"Shi Bin's soldiers and horses have entered the Jianzhang Palace." Shi Xuan said in a deep voice, "General, our army has hundreds of thousands of people, can't we help a small Jianzhang Palace?" Our army has been besieging Jianzhang Palace for nearly half an hour, and there is no time for me, if we can't take Jianzhang Palace as soon as possible and kill Shi Hu, what will happen to us, you should know! ”

The generals present are all people who understand, so they naturally know this truth.

Once the Jianzhang Palace cannot be attacked for a long time, as time goes by, the warlords in various places, such as Pu Hong, Yao Yizhong and Shi Bao, will inevitably move when they hear the wind.

These men had no less than 100,000 men and horses, and if they were attacked in groups, the rebels would be difficult to resist.

What's more, Shi Xuan started the incident in a hurry, and there was no coordination between the various ministries, and the military orders could not be effectively implemented. Didn't you see that after Shi Xuan launched a coup d'état, Yecheng was full of routs?

If people are not aligned, how can they be accomplished?

And once defeated, the villain's generals are dead. According to Shi Hu's character, the rebellious soldiers may still survive and be assigned to the frontier, but those above the commander have no way out.

"Your Majesty, you have something to say. We will obey your commands! Liang Qian immediately said.

"May I obey the king's command!" The generals chimed in.

"Good!"

This is the effect that Shi Xuan wants.

"Among the enemy troops, the only ones to worry about are Shi Min's troops and horses. Shi Min is a person who has won a hundred battles, is brave and strategic, and the Han army under his command is even more forbidden, obedient and very brave! The Han army camp is in the east, and I just got the news that Shi Min's troops have marched to the second gate of Renshou and Zhongyang in the east of Yecheng. Maqiu! ”

"The last general!"

"I order you to lead your troops and horses, and give you another 10,000 guards of the East Palace, please be sure to block Shi Min in the place west of Suzaku Street, and not make it attack Jianzhang Palace!"

"No!"

Shi Xuan said again: "The generals will listen to the order!" Jianzhang Palace has Shenwu, Xiangguo, Dingyang, Yaowei and other eight gates, all of which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and I Minger and other organizations dare to die, with 3,000 people as a team, day and night to attack the eight gates of Jianzhang Palace! Your generals must also be on the front line and supervise the battle! Those who take a step back will be killed! ”

"No!"
