Xiao Yuming left the prime minister's mansion with a heavy heart, Cui Jian had followed him for many years, and he saw that his face was a little abnormal, so he asked why.

However, Xiao Yuming was silent.

When he had mounted his horse, he ran to the gate.

In his heart, he kept thinking about the last words Li Ziyuan said to him, "If the Wei State wants to prosper and become the overlord of the five kingdoms, it can only pin its hopes on the eldest prince." ”

These words are tantamount to making waves in his heart, he is from a poor family, and his long-cherished wish in his life is to make Wei strong, only when the country is prosperous, the people are qualified to talk about vitality.

He knew that the current Wei State was already full of holes, and he urgently needed a wise lord to turn the tide, but today's saints have long been smoothed out by life, and have begun to become mediocre, without the radical and eloquent strategy of the past.

is no longer young, no longer vigorous, and when encountering problems, there will always be some foresight, so the current Great Wei Emperor cannot change the status quo of Wei that has been sick for a long time.

But the eldest prince, can he really bring change to the Wei State?

Xiao Yuming thought to himself: "I haven't been to the capital for a long time, and I basically don't care about the affairs of the court, so what is the matter with the eldest prince, I shouldn't listen to other people's words, I need to observe carefully for a while."

But for now, the eldest prince will be the most likely candidate to win the throne among all the princes. ”

If Zhao Changqing knew what Xiao Yuming was thinking, he would definitely scoff at it, just because his brothers were not fuel-efficient lamps.

After leaving the capital, Xiao Yuming quickly gathered his army and set up camp on a barren mountain outside the north of the capital.

In addition, there are no forests nearby, which can prevent enemy attacks, and there are only 30 miles between the northern city and the barren mountains, so it is relatively cheap to come and go, and they can also take care of each other.

At the same time, he also arranged a large number of scouts to be distributed around the capital, in order to closely monitor the movements of the enemy army.

At the end of the day.

Inside the Chu army camp.

Xiang Nantian personally led three thousand light horsemen, preparing to bring back Zhou Xing's head.

Before leaving, Xiang Nantian, in order to boost the morale of the whole army, ordered the soldiers to tie white cloth to their foreheads regardless of their rank, and then said some inspiring words, a large number of which were made about Zhou Xing's death.

The so-called mourning soldiers will win, and Xiang Nantian's approach is understandable.

It's just that he underestimates human nature too much.

Sometimes words don't motivate people properly, and they can backfire.

Compared to tonight, if he didn't bring back Zhou Xing's head, it would be equivalent to saying a big word in the whole army, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Three thousand light horsemen, like the wind.

Xiang Nan Tiangui is the marshal of the Three Kingdoms, and being able to do such a thing can actually be called disregarding the risk.

According to his meaning, the head of General Zhou Xing was hung on the head of the northern city by the Wei army, and when the three thousand light cavalry marched quickly to the outside of the city, they used the soldiers with high martial arts skills to quickly grab the head through the ladder and other methods, and immediately retreated.

Visions are always beautiful.

Xiang Nantian's team of men and horses had not yet arrived in the capital, but they were detected by Xiao Yuming's scouts.

After the scout reported to Xiao Yuming, the latter did not hesitate, and immediately ordered his general to personally lead 30,000 soldiers, no matter what the light cavalry enemy army was going to do, in short, to snipe the enemy outside the city gate at all costs.

When he had ordered all this, he began to think about the purpose of the enemy's sudden dispatch of cavalry.

"Just a few thousand light cavalry want to attack the city? Impossible! The Chu army is not so stupid! What are you doing here if you don't attack the city? It's just a few thousand men and horses, and they are all cavalry who are good at charging, and there must be something wrong with this!"

At this time, Cui Jian, who had been surrounding him, blurted out directly without thinking about it after hearing his thinking voice: "Is it that the enemy army wants to snatch back the head of the enemy general hanging on the head of Beicheng?"

I just heard the scouts say that they all have white cloth on their foreheads, as if they are hanging filial piety, for whom?"

Cui Jian's casual remarks made Xiao Yuming pause, and said, "What you said makes sense! I heard that the hanging of the enemy's head on the north city was deliberately done by the eldest prince?"

Cui Jian nodded and said, "When I entered the city, I also heard the soldiers talk about it. ”

Xiao Yuming was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing.

As if waking up from a big dream and suddenly realizing it, "I understand, no wonder His Royal Highness the Great Prince insists on stationing our army outside the city, in addition to the meaning of what His Majesty said, there is also the intention of letting us strictly monitor the movements of the enemy army."

The enemy army has failed to attack the city, and has been abroad for a long time, I am afraid that the morale of the army has been turbulent. What would have happened if we hadn't managed to get the enemy back the head of the man hanging the gate?

The morale of the enemy's army will inevitably be greatly defeated! It turns out that this is the reason why His Royal Highness the Great Prince hung the enemy's head on the city gate. I'm not afraid that they will rob it, but I'm afraid that they won't come to rob it.

Closely calculating the head of the enemy general and the time of our arrival, this ability to anticipate the enemy is like a stroke of genius.

I now understand a little why the prime minister admires His Royal Highness the Great Prince so much, not to mention those of them who don't know how to march and fight, even I have some admiration for the methods of the Great Prince.

Ordering the army, enter the state of readiness for war, I am personally leading 20,000 people to block the enemy's retreat, so that they will not return, and they will not escape!"

......

At the same time, Xiang Nantian and the others had already come to the outside of the northern city.

Without resting for a moment, they began to feint at the city gates.

Three thousand people dismounted and swarmed up.

At this time, Cao Shen, who was sleeping, was awakened by the movement outside the city, and immediately arranged for people to defend the city.

Cao Shen never dreamed that the enemy army would take advantage of the night to attack the city, and it seemed to be menacing.

Under the cover of night, the enemy army rashly attacked the city and did not spread out on the flat ground, so Cao Shen could not predict the specific number of opponents.

And at this moment, there were heavy horses in the distance.

In addition to the disadvantage of speed, the heavy cavalry is tantamount to being able to restrain the light cavalry.

Cao Shen looked up and saw hundreds of torches in the distance reflecting half of the sky, and gradually saw a vague banner with the word 'Xiao' written on it.

Then he burst out laughing, "Brothers, shoot down the enemy army in the shortest possible time, our reinforcements have arrived!"

At the same time, he also thought in his heart: "It turns out that this is the real plan of His Royal Highness the Great Prince! Let King Qin's army be stationed outside the city, once the enemy army attacks the city, it can create a situation of left and right attack for the enemy army in a short time, making it difficult for them to advance and retreat!"

In this world, the art of military use can be used so exquisitely, I'm afraid that only His Royal Highness the Great Prince can, right?"

Xiang Nantian saw the Wei army coming from the rear, his heart sank, and he made a decision on the spot, so he picked up a spear and performed light skills, jumped up, and went straight to the city.

There is a momentum of one person attacking the city.

And so it is.

No matter how disordered the situation between the two sides was at this moment, it did not interfere with him in the slightest to climb his strength to the peak, and the tip of the spear in his hand seemed to be burning, blooming with supreme power, causing an invisible pressure on everyone in the city.

This battle cannot be delayed any longer.

The people of the Five Kingdoms all know that the heavy cavalry charge formation is the nemesis of the light cavalry, and once the heavy cavalry is placed in formation, it will form an invincible front.

As Bing Feng pointed out, even if he is a supreme master, he is in danger of falling.

Therefore, when he saw the arrival of the Wei State Heavy Cavalry, Xiang Nantian, who had been tested by life and death on the battlefield for a long time, sank in his heart.

And when Cao Shen looked at Xiang Nantian, who was constantly gathering momentum above the city, his brows were also slightly wrinkled, and he had a bad premonition, "He is actually a Realm Grandmaster, only half a step away from the realm of the Great Grandmaster, looking at this person's outfit, he doesn't look like a person in the rivers and lakes."

I didn't expect that in the army of Chu State, such a master would be born. ”

Almost instantaneously, a spear of Xiang Nantian turned into a stream of fire, falling from top to bottom, like a meteorite, and quickly fell towards the top of the city.

How could Cao Shen make him proud?

Use all your skills, and the knife moves are frequent.

Quantity vs. quality.

A single sword cannot neutralize an opponent's attack.

That's two knives and three knives.

Cao Shen firmly believes that in the end, a knife will completely offset the terrifying one.

Therefore, almost in a few breaths, Cao Shen has already swung the knife hundreds of times.

But that only slowed down the spear's fall.

Meanwhile.

Xiang Nantian's figure swept rapidly.

Ran towards Zhou Xing's head.

At this moment, Cao Shen finally understood the other party's intentions.

He didn't stare at the falling shot, but said to the soldiers next to him, "Get out of the way!"

After receiving the order, the soldiers quickly dodged.

Cao Shenmeng's unloading force did not resist the spear, and fell with it.

He took out the gap and went straight to Xiang Nantian.

The two of them looked at each other, Cao Shen's knife flashed, Xiang Nantian had no blade, and he had to dodge in a hurry, thus losing a great opportunity to seize the first rank.

He was unwilling, and immediately waved a palm, and the palm print roared past, hitting Cao Shen's knife face.

The strength of this palm was amazing, and Cao Shen's arms were numb from the agitation, and he fell heavily on the city wall.

At the same time, the spear had fallen to the wall.

In an instant, a large pit appeared on the wall made of heavy bluestone, as if it had really been destroyed by a meteorite.

All the soldiers were stunned when they saw this.

When had they ever seen a single man who could do it to such an extent?

It's hard to accept for a while.

Xiang Nantian turned over and landed on the ground, and said to all the light horses: "Get on the horse and retreat!"

Hearing this, the Chu army mounted their horses and retreated in his direction.

But the Wei army in the rear was relentlessly chased.

Not far away, 20,000 soldiers led by Xiao Yuming were waiting for them.
