Chapter 467 General Li Huan is here

Niu Wei was just an official of a hundred households, and he seemed to have a lot of status, but in front of someone like Cui Ling, he was really nothing.

Especially for an honorable person like Cui Ling who holds power, it can be said that if he offends a big man like Cui Ling, it is really not difficult for Cui Ling to kill Niu Wei.

Facing Cui Ling at this moment, Niu Wei naturally seemed very respectful and cautious, for fear that the other party would remember his previous actions.

Cui Ling rode on a tall horse, followed by a group of elite soldiers. Among these soldiers and horses, dozens of personal soldiers were generals raised by Cui Ling, Mao Qing, and Zhao Tong in their respective mansions.

These generals can be said to be the same as their families. They have been servants of their families for generations. It can be said that even if Cui Ling and the others want to rebel, these generals will choose to follow without hesitation.

Cui Ling looked at Niu Wei and the others indifferently, and glanced at the closed city gate behind Niu Wei and the others, as well as the fearful and nervous soldiers following behind Niu Wei. cool color.

Cui Ling didn't think there was anything wrong with the reaction of these soldiers. It could be said that this was the normal reaction of these low-level soldiers when they faced them.

In a blink of an eye, Cui Ling had already approached Niu Wei and the others, and Niu Wei had a respectful expression on his face.

Just when Niu Wei was quite uneasy, wondering whether Cui Ling would blame him, he heard a voice suddenly say: "Bold Niu Wei, you are so brave, you dare to treat Lord Hou mercilessly. Li, come here, take it down for me!"

After receiving Cui Ling's look, a general of the Dingyang Hou Mansion who was following Cui Ling stepped forward and pointed at Niu Wei with a horsewhip in his hand arrogantly.

Niu Wei couldn't help but thumped in his heart when he heard the words, his face changed slightly, he raised his head and looked towards Cui Ling, but saw two generals immediately stepped forward, grabbed Niu Wei, and held Niu Wei up with their weapons .

In fact, when facing the generals of the Dingyang Hou Mansion, Niu Wei subconsciously wanted to resist for a moment, but thinking of Cui Ling's identity, Niu Wei suppressed the thought of resistance just born in his heart go down.

If he said he didn't resist, he might just be reprimanded or even beaten up by the opponent, but if he really dared to resist Cui Ling, let alone whether his soldiers would be with him, he would If his subordinates dare to follow him, what can he do to Cui Ling?

Could it be that he really confronted Cui Ling? If he really did that, he would be courting death.

At the same time, the subordinates behind Niu Wei saw that their lord was arrested by the generals of the Dingyang Hou Mansion, they only appeared a little flustered for a short time, and then there was no movement.

Cui Ling showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, and snorted coldly: "You all listen to me, I have received the news that Niu Wei was bought by King Ning's rebels, and he intends to take advantage of the chaos to open the door. The city gate welcomes the rebels to enter the city, and now I order you all to step aside, otherwise, you will all be regarded as Niu Wei's party!"

After Cui Ling's words fell, all the soldiers present opened their eyes wide, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Many people looked at Niu Wei who was struggling desperately, shouting that he had been wronged, and then looked at Cui Ling, the Marquis of Dingyang with an indifferent expression on his face. This kind of thing happened to come from the mouth of a dignitary like Dingyanghou.

Even though they had some doubts in their hearts, when they faced Cui Ling, Marquis of Dingyang, they still subconsciously obeyed his orders, and slowly retreated to the sides, letting the city gate out.

Mao Qing and Zhao Tong on the side looked at each other, and both of them had smiles on their faces.

Although they had anticipated the situation in front of them from the very beginning, it can be said that the reaction of the soldiers guarding the city was completely within their expectations.

As long as there is no accident, the city gate is considered to be under their control.

At this time, Cui Ling said to Niu Wei's subordinates: "I believe that you are not Niu Wei's accomplices, but for the sake of you guys, I hope you put down your weapons. I will investigate carefully later, and then return you one." clean."

At first, I was a little worried about whether I would be implicated and labeled as a rebel, but now hearing what Cui Ling said, these soldiers dropped their weapons almost reflexively, for fear that if they moved a step slower, they would attract the attention of others. Cui Ling's suspicion was regarded as Niu Wei's accomplice.

With the sound of bang bang bang bang, more than a hundred soldiers actually dropped their weapons, and obediently retreated to the side, squatting at the city gate one by one under the supervision of the soldiers brought by Cui Ling. Come from the corner of ten feet away.

At the same time, a group of soldiers also arrived in front of the city gate, completely holding the city gate in their hands. It was only at this moment that Cui Ling and the others were completely relieved.

Zhao Tong nodded at Cui Ling, and Dang even took a few generals to climb the city wall.

The soldiers on this section of the city wall are all Niu Wei's subordinates, and what happened below the city is naturally seen in the eyes of these city guards. Therefore, when Zhao Tong led people up the city wall, he did not spend any effort on the city wall. This part of the soldiers was brought under control.

Standing on the high city wall, Tongju Zhao condescendingly looked out of the city. With the sun gradually rising in the sky, he could already see the situation outside the city clearly.

The huge camp looks quite crude, and even the defense of the camp is very poor. It can be said that if a group of people suddenly breaks out under such circumstances, it may really cause serious damage to the camp. Great confusion.

Zhao Tong's thoughts like this just flashed in his mind. Now that they have chosen to stand on King Ning's side, he actually thought about what kind of harm would be caused to King Ning's army by bringing people into the camp. This made Zhao Tong shake his head. shook his head.

Taking a deep breath and calming his mind, Zhao Tong nodded to the family general beside him, and immediately saw that family general took out two torches and lit them, and handed them to Zhao Tong.

Zhao Tong took the two torches, stood there, and kept shaking the torches in his hands towards the outside of the city.

It has to be said that Zhao Tong's action of standing on the city wall and shaking the torch couldn't be more eye-catching, especially when Zhao Tong shook the torch with a certain frequency, which was obviously conveying some news.

At the same time, on a tall building not far from the city gate, several figures were looking at the dangling torches on the city wall.

Seeing this scene, Xu Chu with gray hair couldn't help but sighed softly and said: "I really didn't expect that Uncle Xining and Marquis Dingyang actually colluded with King Ning and betrayed the court."

Chen Ke looked calm and said: "Uncle Xining, Marquis Dingyang and others colluded with King Ning and intended to sacrifice the city of Nanjing. It can be said that the evidence is solid, and now you have witnessed it personally. It counts as framing them."

Xu Pengju on the side looked at Chen Ke with a solemn expression: "Master Chen, it's already at this time, why hasn't the Champion Marquis moved yet? Could it be that Zhao Tong and Cui Ling are really going to open the city gate?"

Chen Ke said with a calm expression: "Don't worry, my lord. Your lord will appear when it's time for you."

On the contrary, Xu Yu glanced at Xu Pengju lightly and said: "Pengju don't worry, now all this is within the expectation of the champion, so you have nothing to worry about."

Chen Ke looked at Xu Yu and said: "All I need to wait for is the signal from the Lord. When the time comes, I will ask the old Duke to help my Lord defeat the rebels!"

Xu Yu chuckled and said: "I am deeply favored by the emperor, so I will do my best to help the champion."

Zhao Tong, who was shaking the torch on the city wall, suddenly saw the same torch shaking outside the city, and his face was filled with joy.

This was the signal he had agreed with King Ning. As long as they saw the signal from the torches outside the city, they could open the city gate immediately to welcome King Ning's army into the city.

So at this moment, Zhao Tong stepped down the city wall quickly, and said to Cui Ling, Mao Qing and others at the city gate: "Quickly open the city gate, the prince's army is coming!"

It could be seen that Zhao Tong was very excited, so his voice was a bit loud, so that Niu Wei and his soldiers who were guarded not far away could hear clearly.

Almost instantly, a group of soldiers who had squatted there with their heads shrunk raised their heads and looked at Cui Ling and the others. They all showed disbelief.

Niu Wei tremblingly said with horror on his face: "Marquis Dingyang and the others are the ones who really colluded with King Ning. It's over, the city of Nanjing is over..."

The creaking sound of the city gate opening sounded, and at the same time Niu Wei and the others felt the slight vibration of the earth. This vibration was naturally the movement of a large number of rebels approaching rapidly.

"The Marquis of Dingyang has rebelled, the Marquis of Dingyang has rebelled..."

Niu Wei couldn't help roaring loudly. It has to be said that Niu Wei's voice is really not small. There are all Niu Wei's shouts in the surrounding area, so that many city guards turned towards the city gate in astonishment. looked over.

On the contrary, when Cui Ling and the others were looking at the open city gate, they couldn't help showing a bit of disdain when they heard Niu Wei's shout.

If the city gate was not occupied by them and was discovered when it was opened, they might be very worried, but at this moment the city gate has been opened, and even the figures of King Ning's army outside have appeared in sight. Otherwise, they would be able to enter Nanjing City in an hour and three quarters, so they would have nothing to worry about.

A group of people outside the city was marching towards the open city gate, especially one of the flags couldn't be more eye-catching, it was the king's flag representing King Ning's identity.

King Ning is personally leading an army to enter the city.

Although Wang Jia and others also persuaded King Ning not to risk himself, although Cui Ling and others were the internal support, it was not too dangerous to enter Nanjing City, but they were afraid of anything.

Who knew that King Ning would not listen to their persuasion at all, and insisted on following the army to enter Nanjing City as soon as possible. He couldn't wait to enter Nanjing City.

Only when he entered Nanjing City did he really have the confidence to compete with the imperial court. He didn't want to wait for a moment, even if he took some risks for it, he would admit it.

Looking at the open city gate from a distance, King Ning finally couldn't help laughing and said to his cronies and subordinates, as well as the officials and powerful officials who had taken refuge in him these days: "The city gate has been opened, and everyone enters the city with this king." .”

At this time, those tyrants, gentry, and officials who chose to support King Ning looked at the open city gate, and the last trace of anxiety in their hearts disappeared.

As long as they occupy Nanjing City and push Ning Wang to ascend the throne, they will be heroes from the dragon, and their investment will be rewarded by hundreds or even thousands.

All of a sudden, everyone congratulated King Ning and said, "Congratulations, my lord, for successfully capturing Nanjing City."

At this moment, the earth suddenly shook, as if a cavalry was approaching at an extremely fast speed.

And at this moment, a group of extremely eye-catching fireworks exploded in the air, and the fireworks exploded, which was quite eye-catching in the hazy sky.It can be said that the group of fireworks exploding in the sky can be clearly seen within a few miles.

"kill!"

Suddenly, a thunder-like explosion was heard from a distance.

Accompanied by the sound of the explosion, there was a rush of horseshoes, the ground shook, and the sound of horseshoes was getting closer. Even King Ning and the others couldn't help but be taken aback by such a change.

Many people looked towards this side subconsciously, just in time to see a troop of cavalry roaring towards them, and the mighty General Li was clearly written on several eye-catching banners.

Those Li character flags fluttered in the wind while the cavalry roared, and the buzzing sound was not to mention how eye-catching.

King Ning and the others stared dumbfounded at the roaring cavalry, and even King Ning said with a little surprise: "This... what's going on, I'm not mistaken, is it? Is it the banner of the champion Hou Lihuan?"

At any rate, King Ning also knew that Li Huan had been appointed as a mighty general by the emperor this time, commanding the army to go south to suppress the rebellion. Now that he saw those flags, it would be strange to say that he didn't react at all.

The most important thing was that King Ning really couldn't figure out how Li Huan, who was at least a few days away from them, would suddenly appear in the city of Nanjing.

"Illusion, this must be an illusion!"

Such a thought flashed through my mind, but the shaking of the ground was extremely real. The most important thing was that a troop of cavalry carrying Li Huan's banner was too fast, and in the blink of an eye they slammed into the ranks of the rebels .

The rebels who hadn't approached the wide-open city gate never expected to encounter the impact of cavalry.

It is conceivable what the result would be if these unprepared infantry of King Ning's rebel army were suddenly hit head-on by cavalry galloping at high speed.

In an instant, the rebel army was directly beaten by the cavalry rushing into the formation. Accompanied by a burst of screams and wailing, the rebel army under King Ning was thrown into chaos. Li Huan is here, the anti-king Zhu Chenhao must die soon!"
