Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 661 Siege

Kouwei disappeared, the siege troops and horses were attacked, and the rear army was in trouble again. Even the generals who were slower to react now noticed that something was wrong.

"Grand Master," the general said, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with that Kou Wei."

How could the Grand Master not know? What he was thinking about now was what Kou Wei would do.

In fact, there is no need for the Grand Master to think about it at all.

With a "boom", fire shot into the sky. Before everyone could react, there were "boom", "boom" and "boom" again. The firearms exploded in the crowd, mixed with screams and impacts, and choking sounds. Thick smoke billows.

The war horses were frightened and neighed, and they stamped their hooves in panic. Some cavalrymen who could not steady their horses were led by the horses into the crowd, and the battle formation suddenly became chaotic.

"Steady," the Grand Master shouted, "the more chaotic it is, the more opportunities there are for people to take advantage of it."

The Grand Master did not need to give orders, and the generals around him immediately went to appease the soldiers and try to stabilize the situation.

"Grand Master," another deputy general said, "We will escort the Grand Master away immediately."

The grand master looked at the chaos of soldiers and horses, as well as the mess not far away. Those firearms must have been planted by Kou Wei, and Kou Wei did this to completely mess them up.

"There are not many people in Kouwei," the Taishi said. "They did not dare to stay longer after the sneak attack. They wanted to take the opportunity to form another formation."

The generals responded.

The Grand Master continued: "No matter who is behind the scenes, we cannot retreat. I will always be here to lead you to win this battle."

The generals and soldiers were excited by the Grand Master's words. After the military morale stabilized, they began to clean up the mess.

After all, these are the most elite soldiers and horses in the hands of the Grand Master. Whether they are officers or soldiers, they all support the Grand Master the most. Seeing the Grand Master here, infinite courage surges in their hearts.

The grand master watched the generals perform their duties. This is why he refused to retreat. If he left, the situation would completely collapse.

Since Kou Wei acted secretly, there must have been an ambush on their way to defeat.

Not to mention whether the guards and generals around him can protect him from here, even if he leaves Xincheng, where can he go?

Is there still the big boat they were riding on the river?

The most important thing is that he can guess that Xiao Yu is nearby. If Xiao Yu catches up, he will die if he has no soldiers and horses to contend with.

Therefore, the grand master made a decision in a short period of time. He would lead everyone to fight. This was the key to breaking the situation.

The grand master sat upright on the horse, as if the sneak attack just now had no impact on him. Starting from the people around him, the generals gradually followed his footsteps.

When they were able to reorganize their battle formation, the gate of Xucheng opened and a group of people came out.

Immediately afterwards, two groups of cavalry also attacked from the east and west sides.

Wrap the Taishi tightly in it.

The grand master's prediction was correct. The person in charge of the overall situation was not Kou Wei, but Xiao Yu. Kou Wei had obviously voted for Xiao Yu a long time ago. Du Mo's troops failed to return. They thought there were only a dozen defenders on the city wall, but unexpectedly, what was waiting for them was the armed guards.

So they seemed to be rushing to die. Almost as soon as they met, their heads were chopped off.

"defense."

The general next to the Grand Master gave an order, and the infantry on the periphery immediately raised their shields, and the rear army became the front army, tightly surrounding the cavalry and the Grand Master in the center.

Even if such a military formation is faced with a cavalry charge, it can still hold them back for a while, not to mention that these infantrymen have already realized that they have become a human wall. They are not afraid of life and death, and are willing to use their own flesh and blood to buy time and opportunities for the spearmen and archers behind them.

This soldier and horse was also the only one that the Grand Master personally trained, and he put all his efforts into it.

Some infantrymen risked their lives, and the soldiers standing behind them also found all their courage. They no longer panicked, and stared closely at the approaching armed guards.

The person at the front of the armed guards was Kou Wei who had just retreated. Seeing this situation, Kou Wei seemed to see his old self in these soldiers, and suddenly burst into laughter.

He was completely exposed in front of the Grand Master's soldiers and horses, but he didn't care about the danger at all, because compared to these, what was tumbling in his chest was the disappointment and resentment after seeing the Grand Master's true face.

"Teacher," Kou Wei shouted, "you may have forgotten that what you told us many years ago was not to make great achievements, but to give up high positions and generous salaries, and also to pray for the people. We have been waiting for you all these years. It’s a pity that after you took the power, you forgot all this.”

"You are no longer the teacher who taught us before. The people are suffering from war today precisely because of you."

"Relying on your own reputation to prey on the common people and play with power..."

Kou Wei paused for a moment and then continued: "Teacher, don't you know that cotton can indeed keep out the cold and allow the people in the north to spend a safe winter. It is not comparable to catkins and reed catkins. The reason why you don't know this is because you His thoughts are not on the people at all.”

"We were all deceived by you, and you...were you deceived by yourself."

Kou Wei took a deep breath: "Teacher, I really don't want to see you like this." A sad look appeared on Kou Wei's face.

Kou Wei clenched the long knife in his hand: "The student is not talented, so come and give me a lift."

As soon as he finished speaking, the torches in the Wuwei Army were lit up. The grand master saw that among the Wuwei Army, one man and one horse were particularly eye-catching. Unlike him, that man was standing at the front. Even though he was so far away, he could feel his power.

Xiao Yu.

The grand master looked at Xiao Yu and sneered. If it were him, he would never show up here. He would wait for the armed guards to fight with him before picking up the remaining soldiers.

You clearly have the advantage, so why do you have to fight so hard?

This is what the Grand Master cannot understand about Xiao Yu. He has always tried his best, but he suffered a loss on Xiao Yu. No matter how he deduces, he feels that Xiao Yu will rebel.

Since he was a child, he was taken advantage of by the old Prince Yu and his concubine, and his biological mother and two brothers were killed. Doesn't Xiao Yu have any resentment in his heart? This resentment should be vented through killing.

The little emperor is the son of the late emperor, and he does not have any blood of Empress Zhang. Such a person should become a victim. Isn't it logical to kill the little emperor and ascend to the throne?

Xiao Yu would really spare no effort to lead troops to encircle and suppress him and the Prime Minister, and really want to give up the country?

Even after seeing Xiao Yu, the Prime Minister was too convinced. He always felt that the person standing far away was pretending to be someone else. Xiao Yu should lead troops to attack the capital and take over the defense of the capital under the pretext of escorting him.

Just leave them alone for now, wait until they attack Fengqiu and then attack them, then everything will fall into place.

It was obviously a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why would Xiao Yu let it go?

The grand master kept shaking his head in his mind, but if Xiao Yu had made his guess right, he would not be trapped here.
