Chapter 202: Counting
It was night, in a study in the Hukou Pass. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Wang Chenghu was sitting behind the desk, facing a silver-armored young general in front of him, and said with a sigh: "I have heard that this ninth prince is quite famous, but from this point of view, this is all rumors, I am afraid that Hukou Pass is in danger again." ā
"Father, it's not that serious!"
The silver armor general smiled awkwardly, he was still thinking about how to talk to his father just now and apologize to the Nine Princes, but now listening to his tone, this matter seems to be hopeless.
"It's not so serious, if he is allowed to be the emperor, the Great Yan Kingdom will suffer. ā
Wang Chenghu stood up with a "poof", and the more he talked, the more angry he became.
The silver-armored young general had no choice but to stiffen his scalp and tell Wang Chenghu what Li Daoyuan ordered before leaving tonight.
"Do you want to put on a celebration banquet?"
After hearing this, Wang Chenghu sat down baldly, as if he was ten years old in an instant, and said in his mouth.
"Father, are you going tomorrow?"
The silver-armored junior asked softly, but Wang Chenghu kept his head down and remained silent, just waved his hand at the silver-armored junior general, signaled him to go out, and let himself be alone for a while.
Seeing this, the silver-armored young general had no choice but to retreat to the study.
For the next seven days, Li Daoyuan was in the palace every night, holding a banquet on time, except for Wang Chenghu who said he was sick and Wang Xun was not in Hukou Pass, the rest of the more than 50 generals were present one by one.
Some generals who see the wind and steer the rudder, knowing that Li Daoyuan is pretending to be the Nine Princes, like to watch the general dance the sword,
As a result, at the banquet every night, several generals volunteered to come to the stage to show Li Daoyuan the sword dance, and some generals who could sing a few lines of opera came on the stage to sing a song to Li Daoyuan.
Li Daoyuan did not refuse to come, as long as he played, he would be rewarded.
This night, there were two generals with red and white faces performing double reeds on stage, and Li Daoyuan laughed when he watched it.
But just when the performance was exciting, suddenly there was a burst of voices from outside the gate, shouting to kill the sky.
"It's coming, hehe!"
Li Daoyuan looked at the generals sitting in a mess in the main hall, and laughed secretly in his heart.
"Please also ask the Nine Princes to be calm and not impatient, and the last general and others will go out to check it out!"
Sun Derong staggered to his feet and said respectfully to Li Daoyuan,
"It just so happens that this king takes this opportunity to see who has swept away the elegance of this king. ā
Li Daoyuan stood up and said with great interest, but when he saw Sun Derong and wanted to say something, he followed up and said: "There are many generals here, what else can this king worry about!"
Then Li Daoyuan brought two hundred silver spear soldiers and a group of drunken generals to the city wall.
I saw that the city wall was in chaos, and everywhere I could see splashes of flesh and blood, and screams one after another.
At this time, Wang Chenghu was leading, and his own headquarters of 5,000 soldiers and horses were resisting to the death, and Zheng Guo soldiers climbed the city wall from the ladder continuously.
These Zheng soldiers wore all the same red armor on their bodies, and the weapons they used in their hands were also scimitars that were relatively rare in Yan Kingdom.
Moreover, the Zheng soldiers who climbed the city wall were all elite soldiers like wolves and tigers, and they could often hold on to the arrival of their companions under the siege of three Yan soldiers.
Li Daoyuan and others, under the hard work of the Silver Spear Army, stepped on the blood stains all the way and came to the city tower located in the city wall.
At this time, Wang Chenghu had already played in person, and he saw a bloody horse chopping knife in his hand, as long as it was a Zheng Guo soldier who entered half a zhang of his body, he would immediately be cut in two by a person with a knife.
But even so, there was still a steady stream of Zheng soldiers besieging him,
The other party should know that as long as Wang Chenghu is defeated, even if they can't conquer the Tiger Pass tonight, they will be regarded as a great achievement.
At this moment, a young general behind Li Daoyuan snatched the silver spear from the hands of a silver spear soldier and desperately killed the Zheng soldiers who were besieging Wang Chenghu.
Li Daoyuan didn't care about this, and dozens of generals behind him led him sat down in the city tower, and then said: "Everyone should be a little restless, this king sees that these Zheng soldiers will not be able to take the tiger's mouth pass for a while, so you will sober up here, and wait until tomorrow, this king will lead you out of the pass together to defeat the incoming enemy." ā
A middle-aged general who looked honest couldn't help but step forward and said: "The last general sees that the war is urgent, and asks the ninth prince to allow the last general to go back and gather the people of the headquarters to come to help General Wang." ā
"You want to get out of here?"
Li Daoyuan's eyes narrowed, turned his head to look at the general, and asked gently,
"Yes,"
The middle-aged general didn't think much about it, and replied honestly.
"If you escape from the battle, you should be punished for your crimes, Silver Spear Army, give me this person justice on the spot!"
As soon as Li Daoyuan saw the other party's answer, he suddenly rushed to guard the silver spear army outside the building and ordered.
"The last general has been wronged, and please ask the prince to be gracious,"
When the middle-aged general heard Li Daoyuan's order, he was suddenly frightened and flew out of the sky, knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.
The two silver-speared soldiers outside the door came behind him in a few steps, and both looked at Li Daoyuan who was sitting in the middle,
I saw that Li Daoyuan's face was calm, and he nodded at the two of them.
Without saying a word, they raised the silver spear in their hands and stabbed it into the middle-aged general's body.
Standing on both sides of the tower, all the generals did not dare to make any more noise when they saw this, for fear that they would be the next to be killed for no reason.
Now that they are almost there, they all see the purpose of the Nine Princes,
The Ninth Prince wants to borrow Zheng Guo's hand to kill Wang Chenghu!
Among this group of generals, some of them were glad in their hearts and participated in the banquet held by the Nine Princes on time every night, and some were deeply worried about the old general Wang who was fighting bloodily.
At this time, the happiest person is Sun Derong, in the case that Wang Xun is nowhere to be found, and Wang Chenghu is about to die in battle, the biggest profit in the Tiger Pass is his deputy general.
Approaching the middle of the night, the sound of fighting on the city wall became a little more intense.
There were even several times when Zheng Guo's soldiers almost broke through the defense line of the Silver Spear Army and rushed into the city tower.
But fortunately, the Silver Spear Army, which is not weak, is still able to deal with these ordinary soldiers of Zheng Guo with ease, and only paid dozens of casualties, and successfully blocked the enemy, several times their size, outside the city tower.
At this time, Wang Chenghu finally saw the intention of the Nine Princes, he stood on the city wall strewn with corpses, and glanced at the people and horses of the headquarters who were falling all the time, and Wang Biaohu who was scarred on the side.
He looked up to the sky and sighed, then jumped down, and the tower more than 100 meters high committed suicide and died.
