Chapter 321: Alone
Luo Tian didn't know about Yu Cheng and the Six Princes' plans, and he didn't even know that the Black Eagle Guards had been secretly helping the Six Princes and Yu Cheng deliver the news.
He was carving the formation on the wall of the palace separately with Kuroki, which was a big project, and even with the help of many palace people, he was busy for a full day.
After a night's rest, when it was close to noon the next day, the palace guards hurriedly came in to report that a large number of forbidden troops and civilians had appeared in front of the main palace gate.
Climbing the wall of the palace and looking out, the vast soldiers of the forbidden army were in front of him, and in front of the battle were two rows of people from the royal city, mostly old and weak, women and children.
Yan Kuang rode his horse and saw Queen Luo Tianhou shouting loudly: "Young Master Luo, if you don't want the people to suffer, open the palace gate." ”
"Despicable, whether it is a war or a seizure of the throne, why implicate the common people. Luo Tian shouted.
"That's politics, Lotien. ”
At this moment, riding a black horse, the third prince appeared in front of the palace wearing a black armor.
"Politics is people-oriented, if you do this, aren't you afraid of losing the hearts of the people, how can an emperor who is not popular with the people govern a good country?" Luo Tian shouted loudly.
"So you are just a martial artist, only stupid people will think that politics is people-oriented, the people are just tools in the hands of the superiors, they can be used, why do the people kneel to me, why do they say long live to me, because in this world, the most important thing is the emperor and not the people, the people can die in batches in order to achieve the emperor's feats, and now I will start my great work, I need them to dedicate themselves, this is their honor. ”
"You're really crazy, let someone like you be the emperor, and the Yunshan Kingdom will be over. Luo Tian's dislike for the three princes became deeper and deeper.
"I don't have anything to say to you, the little cub of the Luo family, let Ji Yuan come out, it's time for our two brothers to talk. ”
As if it was destined in the dark, Ji Yuan wore a white armor and rode a pure white horse out of the gate of the main palace, but the gate was not completely opened.
The weak people looked at Ji Yuan, and this prince who won the hearts of the people became their hope at this moment.
"Third brother, you are really despicable. ”
"Hehe, despicable, when I become the emperor, these stains will not be known to future generations, which great king has not used despicable means, I just want to ensure that I can ascend to the throne of God, there are a total of 1,200 people here, I will give you a stick of incense time, as long as you completely open the palace gate, I will let them go, before you promise, every once in a while I will kill some people, so many people in the entire royal city, are my tools. ”
"Your Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, save us. ”
"Mom, I don't want to die yet. ”
The wails of the people are endless, if the six princes agree to open the door, the tens of thousands of forbidden troops will rush into the palace, the last line of defense will collapse, and when the time comes, the three princes will ascend the throne, and Luo Tian will not even have a chance to turn over.
But if you don't open the door, the people in front of you will suffer, and the three princes' actions really stumped Luo Tian and them.
"We can't open the door, and when we open the door, we're too passive. ”
"His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, you can't open the door, the soldiers are pressing, and the throne is not guaranteed. ”
In the midst of an argument, Ji Yuan looked back at Luo Tian.
"What do you think?"
Luo Tian thought for a while and said: "The people are the most important, even if they enter the palace and we are defeated, as long as I am still here, I will take you away safely, and as long as you are alive, we will have a comeback." ”
"Hehe......" Ji Yuan smiled, gently shook the white robe on his body, and walked out.
On the wall of the palace, Ji Yuan looked at the black army below and said, "Third brother, I am willing to open the palace gate." ”
The third prince thought that he knew Ji Yuan, and he never thought that this younger brother of his was a really generous and kind person, but he was a hypocritical person, and a hypocritical person would definitely try his best to hide himself.
"As soon as the palace door opened, I let these people go. The third prince shouted loudly.
"Open the palace door. ”
The order had been given, and Luo Tian beckoned everyone to stand behind the gate, ready to meet the upcoming battle.
The red palace gate slowly opened, and the third prince on the black horse outside the palace gate sneered, he was finally only one step away from the throne.
The people fled in panic, and the three princes raised their hands high and shouted loudly: "All the soldiers will follow me to kill them, and when I become emperor, you will all add officials to the knighthood and kill them." ”
Just as he shouted and led people forward, thick smoke suddenly rose from the rear, and at the same time, a strong wind blew, and the smoke soon filled the forbidden army.
Yu Cheng and the soldiers of his three battalions immediately put on the masks they had prepared, this kind of ecstasy smoke is not very effective, and it cannot immediately charm people, but after inhaling a certain amount of ecstasy smoke, the body will be tired, the limbs will be weak, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
"It's smoke, where did it come from?" Yan Kuang hurriedly covered his mouth and nose and looked back.
There were already many soldiers who fell to the ground crookedly, under the smoke, the scene outside was not real, but someone shouted: "Protect the six princes and take down the rebels." ”
The voice sounded a little familiar, and before Yan Kuang could react to what was happening, someone in the back row was already screaming.
The soldiers of the three battalions of Yucheng took advantage of the cover of the ecstasy smoke and attacked.
At the same time, the six princes also drew their swords and shouted loudly: "Palace guards, follow me to kill and take down the traitors." ”
He rode forward on his horse, and the palace guards rushed out, at this moment Luo Tian was a little stunned, and the person on the white horse seemed to be a little unfamiliar.
"Ji Yuan seems to know everything and has prepared a careful plan, and you don't seem to know all this. Kuroki whispered beside Luo Tian.
"Do you really know him?" asked Kuroki, but Luo Tian couldn't answer.
The battle began, in front of the gate of the main palace, in the smoke, although the men and horses of the three princes had a numerical advantage, but because of the smoke, they suffered a great impact in the three battalions of Yucheng, and nearly two battalions of men and horses were killed in half an hour, the ground was full of blood, and the corpses could be seen piled up everywhere.
"The wind rises!"
However, the Ecstasy Smoke did not last long, and the National Master began to cast spells, and a strong wind blew through the smoke to disperse.
"Where did Ji Yuan get so many soldiers and horses, wait, isn't that a forbidden army? Yan Kuang, your forbidden army is attacking our own people. The third prince turned around and roared at Yan Kuang.
Yan Kuang was also stunned, and after a closer look, it was not the soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction who were attacking his own people, but the people and horses of Yucheng.
"Yu Cheng, what are you doing?" Yan Kuang roared.
But seeing Yu Cheng slash the forbidden army that fell to the ground in front of him with a knife, he then sneered at Yan Kuang: "I won't always be your subordinate, I won't be able to turn over with the third prince for the rest of my life, so I choose to follow His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince." ”
"You dare to rebel, kill!" Yan Kuang rushed forward irritably, Yu Cheng knew that his cultivation was not as good as Yan Kuang, and he would definitely die if he fought hard with Yan Kuang, so he did not fight him, but quickly retreated, specifically attacking the forbidden army who fell to the ground.
Half of the tens of thousands of forbidden troops lost their strength under the smoke, and the rest of the men and horses were defeated and retreated under the attack of the palace guards and Yucheng soldiers and horses, the momentum was lost, and the combat effectiveness dropped too much.
Maybe the captain level can hold on a bit, but ordinary soldiers are like fish on a chopping board.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die......"
When the first deserter appeared, it was as if a flame had been lit, and more and more people began to flee.
The Three Princes cut down a few deserters in an attempt to turn the tide, but it was too late, the tide of deserters could not be stopped, and in the face of death, these forbidden troops reacted instinctively.
"Third prince, let's go, stay in Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood. A henchman said to the third prince.
The third prince gritted his teeth, he thought that he would be able to sit on the throne today, but he didn't expect that success or failure would be reversed in an instant.
"I haven't lost yet, no, I still have the master of the national teacher and Da Shun, I won't go, the national teacher, you are clever in spells, and you have cultivated to the sky, you will definitely be able to help me ascend to the throne of God, right?"
But this shout was not answered, he turned his head, and the national teacher who had been inseparable from him was gone.
"What about the national teacher, which of you has seen the national teacher?" the third prince asked loudly.
Not only the national teacher, but even the master of Da Shun disappeared, and at this moment, he stood in the center of this battlefield like a lonely man.
