Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 628 Unwavering Obedience to Military Orders

Su Chen had already gotten up at the mansion, and was practicing swords in the courtyard, when suddenly a guard rushed in to report that a reinforcement army had arrived at the west city's Fengtian Gate, claiming that there was King Deng inside, but it was hard to tell whether it was true or not, so General Su asked to decide.

"Deng Wang?" Su Chen was a little surprised after hearing this, why did Deng Wang and Li Congyi come to Runzhou?

But the authenticity of this kind of thing needs to be verified in person. At the same time, it is necessary to prepare for the possibility that this group of troops is pretending to be Wu Yue soldiers. Only by opening the city gate to confirm whether it is true.

Otherwise, once caught, the whole city may be in danger.

A month ago, it just happened that General Lu Jiang opened the city gate to rescue the people outside the city, and as a result, spies were mixed among the people.

Su Chen immediately went out, led a team of guards, and rode his horse towards the Fengtian Gate in the west city. At the same time, he sent Jing Hong to the barracks in the city to mobilize thousands of troops to prepare for defense, so as not to change.

"Drive! Drive!"

The sky was bright, and many people in Runzhou were awakened by galloping on the streets.

When Su Chen arrived at the gate of the city, he dismounted from his horse, quickly rushed to the top of the city tower, and looked down. At this time, there was already a fight outside the city. They were really fighting, not acting.

Five to six thousand Wuyue soldiers rushed over to surround these Tang troops.

At this moment, Deng Wang Li Congyi was so frightened that his legs trembled and his face was ashen. He got off his horse and leaned against the gate of the city. There were more than a hundred guards protecting him from the outside, and the rest of the soldiers were fighting against Wu Yue soldiers.

Although the Tang army on the city wall did not open the city gate to rescue them, they were attacking the Wuyue soldiers below the city with bows and arrows and rolling logs to help the reinforcements outside the city. The soldiers of Wu Yue kept shooting.

Deng Wang Li Congyi was about to cry. He was only 22 years old. He was a relative of the emperor and had a noble status. He didn't want to die here just like this!
He kept yelling towards the city gate: "Hurry up and open the city gate, I am King Zheng, you don't want to live anymore, wait for me to enter the city. I want you to look good!"

"This king has an imperial decree. Hurry up and open the city gate. Su Chen is just a servant of my royal family, the Li family. You believe in his military order and dare to violate the imperial court's decree. Do you want to rebel?"

He shouted hysterically, but the city gate remained motionless.

King Deng was almost desperate at this moment, because there were fewer and fewer Tang troops under the city and they were constantly being killed, while Wu Yue soldiers kept attacking like a tide.

If the city gate is not opened again, the remaining hundreds of imperial guards outside the city may all be killed.

At this time, Li Congyi hated Su Chen extremely in his heart. If it wasn't for his strict order, how could such a thing happen?
King Deng felt great hatred in his heart. Originally, he came to Runzhou to supervise Su Chen and search for evidence, but now he has even more opinions on Su Chen. Even if there is no criminal evidence, King Deng feels that he can't make him happy. He has to make something out of nothing, otherwise he will be sorry for talking to himself today. The soldiers of the Imperial Guard who fought over were also sorry for being so frightened and hopeless.

At this time, Su Chen was already standing on the city gate, and he saw the fighting under the city very clearly, and Tang Jun was dressed like a guard.

He asked Du Tou and Du Yuhou beside him, "Has anyone in this Tang army ever produced a badge or warrant?"

One of them nodded his head and replied: "It is true that someone claimed to be King Deng and took out a warrant, but we do not know King Deng, nor do we know whether the warrant is true or not, so we strictly obey the orders of General Su. Without your consent, we cannot open the city." , once the reinforcements are cheated, our Runzhou City will not be able to defend."

Hearing Du Yuhou and Du Tou's explanation, Su Chen nodded slightly. Soldiers take obeying orders as their bounden duty, and military orders are like mountains. There is nothing wrong with their insistence.

Su Chen turned around and shouted towards the city: "I am the commander of Runzhou, which reinforcement army is leading the team under the city, do you have a token to prove your identity?"

Shen Lang, the deputy commander of the capital who was fighting under the city, heard this voice, turned around on his horse, took out the silver-plated waist badge of the imperial army, shook it, and shouted: "General Su, I am the guard in front of the palace. Commander Shen Lang! This is the token of the Forbidden Army, to escort King Deng and the imperial decree to Runzhou, and implore General Su to order the opening of the city, otherwise I will be unable to resist immediately."

He shouted loudly towards the top of the city, the situation was in dire straits.

Su Chen looked at the team of only a few hundred people left outside the city, still struggling. When fighting with Wu Yue soldiers, it didn't look like a fake at all, it was completely real swords and guns, the fight was fierce and full of blood.

In addition, the imperial guard's badge does not seem to be a fake, Su Chen decisively ordered: "Come here, open the city gate, pay attention to respond, and notify Marquis Jing Yu, and do a good job of defending the urn city to prevent accidents."

"Yes!" The chief took the order and went down to convey the military order.

In case of accidents, it means that this army horse, if it is a disguised Jinling Forbidden Army of the Tang Dynasty, deliberately staged a bitter trick, then it will block it in the second city gate, Wengcheng.Because behind the main city wall, there is another urn city. Between the main city and the urn city wall is a small square, which is used for placing military supplies and training in formation.

Once inside the urn city, close the city gate, surrounded by Tang troops, it is tantamount to catching turtles in the urn, unless there are too many soldiers and horses pouring in, kill the tower from the stone steps on both sides, and enter the urn city through the connecting road of the city wall.

If Jing Hong defended properly, he could wipe out a small number of enemies here, and let them all be buried here.

"Squeak!"

The heavy city gate was opened, and King Deng and some guards who were closest to the gate were able to enter the city first. The rest of the guards also rushed into the city while fighting, but it was inevitable that some Wu Yue soldiers rushed in after them, but they were defeated. The responding Tang Jun stopped in time with spears, bows and arrows, and quickly closed the city gate.

Dangerous and dangerous, Deng Wang was rescued into the city, and his whole body was a little weak.

Li Congyi's entire back was drenched, and he was frightened by the situation just now. All this time, he was just a pampered, stern and soft-hearted prince.He hadn't been trained on the battlefield, so he didn't have enough courage. Whether it was rushing to kill the camp or fighting in the city, King Deng was a little scared. He was worried that he would die here.

Finally, he entered the city safely and without any danger, and he finally felt relieved a lot.

Su Chen walked over and saw King Deng wearing Du Yuhou's attire, and roughly understood that this was deliberately changed to avoid the attention of Wu Yue soldiers.

Su Chen went to court and often entered the harem, so he met King Deng several times, and after seeing his face up close, he confirmed that this was King Deng Li Congyi without a doubt.

So, Su Chen's vigilance was relaxed a lot, he stepped forward quickly, and asked with concern: "His Royal Highness Deng, why are you here?"

Li Congyi had lingering fears and his legs trembled, but he didn't want to lose face in front of Su Chen, so he resisted to stand up straight, and said indifferently: "This king is here, I have received the imperial order, and I have come to read the imperial edict, and I will stay in Runzhou , during the period when you are the commander in chief, this king will be the supervisor of the army, responsible for supervising the battle!"

Hearing this, Su Chen could more or less guess that this should be the imperial court, who is no longer worried about the frontline soldiers, and wants to send someone over to supervise. When the imperial court is at such a moment of life and death, the emperor probably trusts the royal family more, and thinks that brothers surnamed Li are more reliable Bar.

Su Chen was thinking like this, but he didn't show it. He cupped his hands and said, "I don't know that Prince Deng is here, and I'm far away from welcoming you. Please forgive me, Prince Deng!"

Li Congyi sneered and said, "How dare you blame you, Jiangzuo Sulang! This time, the king couldn't even enter the city gate, and almost died outside. These soldiers only listen to your orders, and they can't even listen to the king's token." , General Su, you really have a good discipline!"

Obviously, Deng Wang's tone was full of sarcasm and complaints.

Su Chen heard it, but it's not easy to contradict and defend face to face.He just apologized and said: "I'm sorry, because I didn't get the news in advance, and I suffered a loss in this area a while ago, so the officers and soldiers are very careful. They guarded all night, and suddenly reinforcements from unknown sources appeared. It is inevitable to have doubts The last time General Lu was injured, it was Wu Yue soldiers who entered the city pretending to be refugees, but mixed with assassins and spies and almost broke Runzhou City. It was because of this lesson that the defenders in the city were extra vigilant and did not recognize King Deng. Please Deng Wang is more considerate and forgiving!"

Deng Wang Li Congyi snorted coldly in his heart, his face was not good-looking, but he suppressed the fire and did not attack, if because of this matter, he would tear himself apart with Su Chen in person, it would not be conducive to his next actions and divisions.

"Let's not mention this matter for now, Su Chen, accept the imperial edict!"

Deng Wang Li Congyi directly took out the imperial decree from his arms, ready to read it out,

Su Chen saw that he really took out the imperial edict, so he bowed down according to the etiquette, and the other generals also knelt down one after another.

King Deng began to read out the edict, which on the one hand praised Su Chen, and at the same time appointed King Deng Li Congyi as the supervisor of the Runzhou garrison, and joined hands with Su Chen to guard Runzhou.

After the reading, Su Chen stood up and accepted the imperial edict, but he didn't think much about it. After all, he was just a courtier, and when the imperial edict came out, it was often a game between the ministers and the royal family.

The content of the imperial decree is often debated by the ministers of the various parties in the court before making a decision, and finally it is drafted and issued after a comprehensive game is played by Li Yu. Therefore, since the imperial decree is arranged in this way, it is naturally the result of the game between all parties in the imperial court.

Su Chen said politely to King Deng: "Right now, the Wuyue soldiers have retreated, please go to the General's Mansion to rest temporarily, as for the wounded, there will be military doctors to help treat them."

Deng Wang and Li Congyi nodded, and decided to settle down in Runzhou first, and then recruit some generals to secretly investigate whether Su Chen's collusion with the enemy is true?By the way, let's take a look at how Su Chen and others resisted Wu Yue's army in Runzhou.
