Chapter 427: The Battle of the Southern Kingdom
Zhang Zhongliang and Mary: "Father." β
Zhang Si: "Emperor, I know what you're going to do. If you want to put this war down on your own, it's simply delusional. Wang Erhao is now red-eyed, and he has already denied his six relatives. β
Mary: "Father, we have already thought about it, I will go with the prince, and I will persuade Wang Erhao." β
Zhang Zhongliang took a step forward and stopped talking.
Mary: "Father." At the moment I am the best lobbyist in Nanzhao. If I can't persuade Wang Erhao, then no one can do it, this is the only choice. What's more, once the city is broken, the jade will be burned! β
Zhang Si looked at the two of them, unable to make up his mind.
Zhang Zhongliang and Mary: "Please allow my father." β
Zhang Si pondered for a long time and nodded lightly: "It's okay." But more people should be sent to protect the crown princess. β
Zhang Zhongliang: "Father, I will mourn here, and enter Wang Erhao's camp to wait for an opportunity to make peace, it is really not appropriate to bring more people, otherwise it is easy to make Wang Erhao misunderstand." If he wants to kill me, it will be useless to bring more men. β
Zhang Si: "It's okay, you must be careful. β
Zhang Zhongliang: "Yes. Turning to the door, "Hao Tianlei, you wait to come in." β
Outside the door, Hao Tianlei, Wang Yihu, Wang Tianbao, Ye Piao, and Xian Yongfeng five warriors entered in response: "Obey the emperor's orders." β
Zhang Zhongliang: "Let's go immediately." β
β¦β¦
The sound of light horsemen.
Turning the hill, Zhang Zhongliang and his entourage of seven people quickly whipped their horses and came to the outside of Wang Erhao's military camp to rein in their horses.
The mount hissed and raised its front hooves.
Two columns of guards suddenly flashed out of the barracks, fully armed, sandwiching seven people in the middle, as if facing a great enemy.
The leader of the barbarian chieftain took a step forward and asked in a loud voice: "Who is coming, who dares to break into the barracks at night, and report it quickly." β
Hao Tianlei stepped forward and clasped his fists and saluted: "This general, Zhang Zhongliang, the crown prince of our country, and Mary, the crown princess, ask to see Prince Wang Erhao. Please let me know,"
The chief took a closer look, recognized Zhang Zhongliang and Mary, and immediately turned respectful: "Princess, concubine, please wait." "Beat the horses back to the camp.
Mary stepped forward, tears faintly visible through the light veil that concealed her face.
Wang Erhao was discussing with several generals.
The chief came to report: "Second Emperor Uncle Qi, Princess Mary and the concubine are waiting to meet." β
Wang Erhao couldn't wait to ask, "How many people?" Where is it now? β
Chief: "There are only five retinues, seven in all." Now outside the barracks, waiting for the emperor's uncle to summon him. β
Wang Erhao: "Hurry up, please." I couldn't help but get up and go out.
Wang Erlei stepped forward and whispered a few words in Wang Erhao's ear.
Wang Erhao frowned: "You are my nephew, I listen to you." "Order," the battalions obeyed the order and lined up to meet the enemy! β
Zhang Zhongliang and his entourage were still lingering outside the barracks.
The flags were unfurled in the barracks, and the dust was flying. The huge army went straight to the outside of the camp and surrounded Zhang Zhongliang's seven people.
Zhang Zhongliang remained immovable and waited to see what happened.
Wang Erhao flashed out of the array: "Zhang Zhongliang, you are finally here." I knew you were coming. β
When Mary saw Wang Erhao, she was sad: "Uncle Huang ......" She turned over and dismounted, and went straight to Wang Erhao. It was too late for Zhang Zhongliang to stop her.
Wang Erhao saw Mary galloping over, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, uncle and nephew saw each other, Wang Erhao's tears also welled up, both hands held Mary's shoulders, crying silently: "Niece ......"
Mary was full of tears and almost fainted: "Uncle Huang, quickly take me into the tent, I want to worship my eldest nephew." β
A word woke Wang Erhao from his sadness, he shook off Mary, got on his horse again, and ran straight towards Zhang Zhongliang.
Looking at each other, Wang Erhao's eyes were fire, and Zhang Zhongliang was as calm as ever.
Wang Erhao: "Zhang Zhongliang, you hand over the people to me." β
Zhang Zhongliang: "Uncle Huang......"
Wang Erhao: "I'm not your imperial uncle. You're not my nephew either. From now on, there will be no such thing as you in our country. β
Zhang Zhongliang: "Uncle Huang, you are the commander of the three armies, you have to be calm, you listen to me......"
Mary was crying to the point of fainting. Wang Erhao motioned for the soldiers to carry Mary into the tent and turned to Zhang Zhongliang, "We are no longer in the same place, this time in addition to raising troops for revenge, I will also escort the princess back to China according to my eldest brother's will." β
Zhang Zhongliang: "Do you think the crown princess will go back with you?" β
Wang Erhao's long sword came out of its sheath and pointed directly at Zhang Zhongliang: "Do you think I don't dare to kill you?" β
Zhang Zhongliang pulled out his sword and threw it to Wang Erhao: "Uncle Huang, as long as you can unravel the hatred in your heart, you can do it at any time." After saying that, he turned over and dismounted, and walked straight to the big tent in the camp.
Several soldiers wanted to stop them, but they were intimidated by Zhang Zhongliang's prestige and wanted to advance and retreat.
Hao Tianlei and the five followed Zhang Zhongliang and entered the camp.
Wang Erhao took the sword, looked at Zhang Zhongliang, and then threw the sword to the ground angrily.
Outside the big tent, two columns of soldiers set up a forest of guns, like wolves and tigers.
Zhang Zhongliang walked into the gun forest with his head held high and entered the big tent. He stroked the coffin, Hao Tianlei burned incense for him, and Zhang Zhongliang prepared to make offerings.
Wang Erhao rushed in, snatched the incense, and threw it to the ground: "You are not allowed to worship." Zhang Zhongliang, you don't need to be coy here, in fact, you don't want to be happy in your heart. β
Zhang Zhongliang was calm and deep: "Wang Erhao, there is no one, no one kills people and sets fires, and plunders land and cities. β
Wang Erhao: "Huh? I'm here only for revenge. What land cities, I'm not interested in these. Zhang Zhongliang, as long as you can hand over Qiu Yunlong, I will immediately suspend the war. β
Zhang Zhongliang is neither arrogant nor humble: "Wang Erhao, you can kill me, but you can't kill him." β
At this time, Mary woke up from a coma: "Brother...... Prince ......"
Wang Erhao: "It seems, Zhang Zhongliang, you would rather die than give in." Alright, you go, I have given a death order, and the city will be broken tomorrow! β
Zhang Zhongliang angrily: "You-" angrily withdrew from the big tent.
There were still knives and guns outside the tent, Zhang Zhongliang walked straight to the camp gate, and the soldiers on both sides avoided back.
Walking out of the camp gate, Zhang Zhongliang flew on his horse.
Mary stumbled out of the tent with her hair scattered: "Prince......"
Wang Erlei followed behind: "Princess, princess, sister......"
Zhang Zhongliang stopped and waited, and when Mary walked out of the camp gate, he rode up to meet her, and hugged Mary to the horse with both hands. The seven rode their horses and walked towards Nanzhao City.
Wang Erlei galloped out of the camp on horseback, already in tears: "Sister ......"
Mary looked back, exhausted: "Brother, brother...... Take care ......"
Zhang Zhongliang clamped his legs, and the war horse galloped towards Nanzhao City like an arrow.
Wang Erhao was on the ground, his eyes were straight, and after a while, he was furious, howled loudly at the sky, and fell from his horse.
β¦β¦
The daughter of the national teacher Qiu Yunlong rushed to the door in a hurry, and when she saw the maid at the door, she asked eagerly, "Where is the prince?" β
The maid trembled: "Holy Maiden." I, I don't know. β
Simply: "Say." Tell me quickly, I'm dying. β
Maid: "The crown prince and the crown princess have gone out, probably to Nanzhao." β
Single: "Who's together?" β
Maid: "Just five guards." β
Bursting into tears, he turned around and ran towards the altar.
The altar was lit up like daylight.
Qiu Yunlong brandished his long sword and ran all over the field.
Zhang Si and the others prostrated themselves on the ground under his command and knelt down to worship the gods.
On the stage, a brahmin was still dancing to the gods.
Qiu Yunlong pointed his sword at the sky. Suddenly, he let out a long roar, opened his mouth, slowly put the sword into his throat, and slowly pulled it out.
ran to the stage and looked around, she was looking for Zhang Si's second brother Zhang Biao.
When she saw Zhang Biao, she hurriedly ran off the stage, squeezed through the crowd, and when she got to Zhang Biao's side, she dragged him past and whispered for a while.
Zhang Biao smiled secretly: "Holy Maiden, you also have times to beg me." β
Just the right color: "It's not me asking you. Are you going or not? You don't go to me to find someone else. β
Zhang Biao: "I'll go, I'll go, can't I go?" How dare I disobey what the Holy Maiden commanded, and Bentarah is going to the soup and the fireβ"
Only: "You gather people, and I will wait for you outside the palace gate." β
β¦β¦
Wang Erhao was lying on the bed, surrounded by a group of generals. The military doctor is feeding Wang Erhao medicine.
Wang Erhao slowly opened his eyes: "Princess-what about the princess?" β
Marshal Kach motioned for the military doctor to step back: "Second Imperial Uncle, the city will be broken tomorrow, and the Imperial Uncle and the princess can meet again." β
Wang Erhao closed his eyes again: "Ah, life...... Dead ......"
Kach: "Uncle Huang, the sky is full of dark clouds tonight, and there may be heavy rain soon, and tomorrow will attack the city, and God will help you." We will take the lead and hope that Uncle Huang can rest assured. β
Wang Erhao: "Let the soldiers have a good rest." Don't wait until tomorrow, when it rains, you can attack the city immediately. β
Soldiers: "Yes".
Queen Bei Ke Bo Yan Bo Ti bedroom, Queen Bei Ke sat in front of the dresser to comb the cloud sideburns.
The palace maid came to report: "Queen, the holy woman has entered the palace to ask for peace, and now I am waiting at the door." β
Pei Ke: "Ah, hurry, please." "I was the first to go out.
Just entered the hall and knelt down: "Aunt Kang'an." β
Bei Ke was already in a hurry: "Hurry up, please get up." β
Outside the door, in the night sky, a bright moon was gradually obscured by large dark clouds.
Dark clouds rolled, lightning and thunder roared.
On the avenue outside the dormitory, the sound of horses' hooves was loud.
Armed alone, he took the lead and rode the horse. They were followed by more than thirty warriors.
Torrential rain poured.
The Queen's bedchamber. Bei Ke said to Shan: "Tonight's heavy rain, I listened to Zhang Biao's words, the day of the rain is the time to break the city." Go and rest first, there may be a fierce battle soon. β
Single: "Auntie." I went to the city with General Zhang Biao to have a look. β
Beko: "You have to be careful. β
There was a thunderous explosion, and lightning streaked across the night sky with a white light. The torrential rain is getting heavier and heavier.
The earth was gray.
Turning over the hills, the whole body is wet in a single row.
In front of it is already Wang Erhao's military camp, just Le Ma.
The crowd gathered around.
Just wondering: "Why don't you see any movement?" β
Zhang Biao: "It seems that the prince is more than lucky." β
Shan was anxious: "What should I do?" β
Zhang Biao rode up the hill: "Look at this posture." The entire city of Nanzhao has been surrounded to the point of impassability. We can't rush in. β
Just: "You have to figure it out." β
Zhang Biao thought for a while: "Now only the surprise soldier wins." Listen to me. We took advantage of the darkness and rushed directly to the camp. Because it was a surprise attack in the dark, the enemy army could not distinguish between you and me, and did not know what we were doing, so it was bound to be chaotic. We just took this opportunity to rush into Wang Erhao's tent. As long as Wang Erhao can be captured alive as a hostage, this war can be ended without much effort. β
Only: "But tonight's rain, the enemy will not sleepβ"
Zhang Biao interrupted: "Are you afraid of death?" He ordered loudly: "The Holy Maiden stays." The soldiers were not afraid of death and obeyed the order, and followed me to attack the enemy camp. β
Everyone: "Yes." β
Zhang Biao: "Kill". Lead the crowd into the night.
Simply pinched the horse's belly: "Drive-", and rushed down the mountain with everyone without hesitation.
Wang Erhao was burning incense for his son.
Wang Erhao: "Son, if the city is broken today, I will take back the palace master, and I will take down Qiu Yunlong's head to pay tribute to you." Today's battle, you live or die. Pray that the spirit of heaven will bless us and wait for our triumph. β
A sergeant came to report in a panic: "Uncle Huang, someone broke into the camp." β
Wang Erhao: "How many people?" β
Sergeant: "About thirty." These men intended to break into the Emperor's Uncle's Tent and were surrounded by Marshal Kach's army. β
Wang Erhao: "It's a good time. Pass my orders and capture them alive. β
β¦β¦
The sky is about to dawn, hazy.
In the torrential rain, Zhang Biao, Shan Dan and more than 30 warriors were surrounded by a large group of men and horses, and a cadre rushed left and right, but gradually lost their support, fell off their horses one after another, and were captured and tied up.
The drums of war shook the sky. The battle in Nanzhao City broke out again.
Zhang Biao led the soldiers and the people to fight in the rain.
Wang Erhao's several sieges were returned.
In the rain, the flag of Nanzhao is still standing.
The prince went up to the city.
From a distance, the vine armor army has all been put into battle.
Wang Erhao immediately lined up in front of the battle, confident. When he saw the prince going to the city, he laughed: "See how long you can hold on?" β
The prince looked indifferent: "I don't know." β
There was a burst of laughter from Wang Erhao's array.
Wang Erhao ordered: "Pass the order, and the generals' troops will change from attacking the city in turn to attacking in an all-out way." If there is a person who goes to the city to cut down the flag of Nanzhao, or takes off the head of Qiu Yunlong, regardless of the soldiers, he will be immediately crowned a marquis. β
All the soldiers were greatly encouraged, and everyone fought bravely.
Wang Erhao: "Prince, listen. If you have to resist stubbornly, after the city is broken, you will hurt one of me, I will kill you, and if I die, I will kill ten of you. If you offer Qiu Yunlong's head and return the princess, I will suspend my army. β
Prince: "Wang Erhao, you deceive people too much, you offend me for no reason, someone resists your son's death, but who will I find to pay for the death of the 100,000 souls of the Nanzhao Kingdom and my Zhang clan?" β
Wang Erhao: "I have made a great concession to save your father Dai Xiao from the humiliation of the guardian spirit, but there is no discussion between the murderer's head and the return of the princess." The king will show you something, and you will make a decision in half an hour. β
Wang Erhao waved his hand, and the sergeants in front of the formation dodged away, and the soldiers pushed Shan Dan, Zhang Biao and others to the front of the formation.
The prince was taken aback. Draw the sword and about to unsheath it, and slowly retract it.
With a stubborn face, he shouted at the city: "Prince, leave us alone!" β
Caher stepped forward, slapped a single slap, stumbled a few steps, and fell to the ground.
Ka He said: "Uncle Huang, this demon girl is Qiu Yunlong's daughter, kill her first." β
Wang Erhao: "Okay, it's just time to sacrifice the flag in front of the battle." β
was simply pulled from the ground and pushed to the flag of Shuai.
β¦β¦
Zhang Si'an sat on the top seat and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Qiu Yunlong ran in like a lost soul under the stern support: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good!" β
Zhang Si stood up and sat down to help Qiu Yunlong: "Don't panic, national teacher. β
Qiu Yunlong: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good. The Holy Maiden and the old general, as well as a few Darla, were gone. So they took more than thirty warriors to attack Wang Erhao. β
Zhang Si was shocked: "When will you leave the palace?" β
He stammered: "Your Majesty, they probably left in the second half of the night." It's no longer possible to catch up. β
Qiu Yunlong reprimanded: "What are you doing to eat? No one can look at it. After a while, he shouted to the sky and grabbed the ground: "Ahhh Daughter, my lifeβ"
