I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

"Jinwuwei——"

"Iron Buddha-"

"Tiger and Leopard Rider——"

"Follow me and attack to protect His Highness Prince Jin!"

Almost at the same time, Kang Yang, the commander-in-chief of the Daxin Imperial Guards in Tumu Fort, issued an order for the Imperial Guards' cavalry to attack and escort them.

In the Longcheng Jingnan army camp, Huo Qubing, Pang Xianchu, Fan Wuji, Xiao Po and other generals also rushed out on horseback waving their spears and knives.

General Wang Jian also immediately ordered Qin Rui's front to press forward, ready to provide cover for the cavalry troops with large ballistae at any time.

Kick, kick, kick!

Kick, kick, kick!

In an instant, tens of thousands of war horses galloped outside the earthen fort, their flying iron hooves trampling the ground wantonly, like a tornado passing through, sweeping up yellow sand and flying dust all over the sky.

At this time, Chen Huaian and Zhao Qian, who were at the center of the battlefield storm, seemed to automatically filter out everything that was happening around them.

In their eyes, there was only each other.

One of them, wearing golden battle armor, stood proudly on horseback, with one arm hanging down, dragging a Fangtian painted halberd with cold light, as if one halberd could cut into pieces the heaven and earth stars;

The other one, who was also wearing a golden armor, was thrown off his horse. A peerless magic weapon forged from a meteor from the sky - the Overlord's Spear, also lost its light in his hand and became Extremely bleak.

However, what is bleaker than the tarnished Overlord's spear is undoubtedly the look in the eyes of Emperor Zhao Qian.

The once arrogant Emperor Jian'an, who boasted that his civil, political and military capabilities were as good as those of Emperor Qin and Emperor Han of Han Dynasty, now his eyes no longer had the fierceness of the past.

Some are just endless humiliation and unwillingness.

He never dreamed that at the age of fifteen, he had followed the late emperor Zhao Mang in many battles and made great achievements on horseback, but he would lose to Chen Huaian, a loser.

Still in such a humiliating way, he was defeated by Chen Huaian with just one move.

I am not willing to give in!

How can this be?

Zhao Qian was lying on the cold and stiff ground. He ignored the severe pain caused by Chen Huaian's halberd and his internal organs were displaced, and he managed to stand up with a carp move.

Then, he lunged forward, holding the Overlord's spear tightly with both hands, assuming a life-threatening offensive posture.

On the other hand, Chen Huaian looked down at his defeated general Zhao Qian, still looking neither humble nor arrogant, neither happy nor worried.

It seems that for him, there is no essential difference between driving down the emperor Zhao Qian and driving down the bandit Zhao Qian.

At this time, amidst the shouts of killing and the thunderous sound of horse hooves from the cavalry of the two armies, Chen Huaian was still leisurely and joking with Zhao Qian.

The words Zhao Qian gave him before the stick of incense were returned to Zhao Qian intact: "Zhao Qian, surrender!"

"If you are willing to surrender and show me the courtesy of a king and a minister, I will absolve you of the crime of Ling Chi and cut your body into pieces on five horses, okay?"

"Chen Huaian, you don't know who will win, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly, look at the gun!"

Zhao Qian was furious, picked up the Overlord's spear and rushed towards Chen Huaian.

I have to admit that this Zhao Qian is a fool, but his military strength is one of the few among the generals of the entire New Dynasty.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to gain a foothold in the new dynasty palace where military power was respected, and ascend to the throne of the emperor as the crown prince of the East Palace.

An overlord spear danced like a tiger in his hand.

Even when dismounted and fighting, the power of the spear has not diminished.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

In an instant, Zhao Qian, who dismounted to fight, launched three moves at Chen Huaian on horseback.

Sweep, slash, stab, do whatever it takes.

However, what Zhao Qian had to face was Chen Huaian, the hidden god-level general of the entire Great New Dynasty.

Just like the duel on horseback, Chen Huaian still gave up to Zhao Qian three moves before he grasped Fang Tian's painted halberd and raised his hands above his head.

Then, he pushed hard on the stirrups with his toes, and his whole body suddenly jumped into the air, turning into a long golden afterimage, and with one move, he split the Huashan Mountain and hit the Emperor Zhao Qian on the ground.

In a hurry, it was too late for Zhao Qian to turn around and dodge, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and receive Chen Huaian's fatal blow.

Clang!

The next second, the Fang Tian Painted Halberd in Chen Huaian's hand and the Overlord Spear in Zhao Qian's hand collided fiercely without any suspense.

These two magical weapons were made by the same craftsman and were forged by Tianwai Feiyun after ninety-nine and eighty-one days. When they collided, sparks flew out, making a metal collision sound that shook the world and made people cry.

With just one move, Zhao Qian, the tyrant who was one of the top ten most powerful tyrants in the Great New Dynasty, was knocked to the ground by Chen Huaian's halberd. The two hands holding the Overlord's spear tightly were knocked unconscious by the supernatural power.

For a moment, an extremely strange scene with a bit of black humor appeared on the battlefield.

Emperor Zhao Qian, who was wearing a golden battle armor and holding the overlord's spear above his head with both hands, knelt upright in front of Jin King Chen Huaian, who was also wearing a golden battle armor and holding a Fangtian painted halberd in both hands as if he was cleaving Mount Huashan with force.

The afterglow of the setting sun hit the two of them, reflecting thousands of golden lights.

It was somewhat confusing for the soldiers of the two armies outside the battlefield to tell who was the emperor.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, an arrow struck out of nowhere, almost grazing Chen Huaian's face.

It's Emperor Zhao Qian's Royal Guard cavalry who has arrived!

Kang Yang, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, who was charging at the front with a horse spear in his hand, immediately turned sideways and shouted: "Who asked you to shoot the arrow? What should I do if I accidentally hurt the emperor?"

Immediately afterwards, he turned around and roared at Chen Huaian: "The thief Chen Huaian, please don't hurt the emperor's dragon body!"

"Generals of the Royal Forest Army, follow this general to capture the thieves and rescue them!"

"Kill!"

at the same time.

The brave general Pang Xianchu also rushed over. The snake spear in his hand pointed directly at Kang Yang, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and said angrily: "Kang Yang, my son, the brave general Pang Xianchu is here, don't be so arrogant!"

While speaking, the two cavalry armies charging at high speed collided on the battlefield without any suspense.

Almost subconsciously, the cavalry teams of the two armies who were struggling to kill each other made a tacit choice to turn their horses' heads when they were about to approach Chen Huaian and Zhao Qian in the center of the battlefield.

It was like two high-speed moving peaks were divided into two by the towering mountain peaks.

After going around the mountain, they met again.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

In an instant, the long knives and spears in the hands of the Royal Forest Army cavalry, Iron Buddha, and Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers collided alternately, making bursts of harsh metal collision sounds.

The soldiers' shouts of killing and the neighing of the war horses in pain intertwined into one sound.

The Tiefutu and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were all the elite cavalry of the Longcheng Jingnan Army, and the Daxin Imperial City Imperial Guard Army they were facing in this battle was also the elite of the entire Daxin Dynasty.

Cavalry against cavalry.

The best versus the best.

The battle of Tumu Fort was destined to be an extremely brutal hand-to-hand battle from the beginning.

Every moment, every minute, every second, people continued to die and fell from their horses, and countless others were injured.

At the end of the fierce battle, the 20,000 imperial Japanese soldiers guarding the city in Tumu Fort, and the 20,000 Qin warriors from the Longcheng Jingnan army also threw themselves onto the battlefield.

The two armies, numbering 60,000 to 70,000, fought fiercely outside the earthen fort, from dusk to night, from sunset to moonrise.

On top of the simple earthen wall of the Tumu Fort, Sun Heling, the top three in the palace examination of Daxin Zhenwu for 20 years, has been leaning against the wall with disheveled hair.

Those eyes that were turbid but firm enough never moved away from the brutal battlefield outside the Tumu Fort for a moment, and two lines of hot turbid tears had already wetted the old cheeks.

Gradually, as the figures of the Japanese soldiers and imperial guards on the battlefield became less and less, they became more and more sparse, until they were completely submerged in the sea of ​​people of Longcheng Jingnan's army.

Sun Heling finally couldn't help but stood up and climbed up to the crenellations of the city wall alone.

With the help of the bright moonlight, he vaguely saw two golden figures on the battlefield.

One is cheerful and firm, the other is languid and wretched.

Sun Heling looked up to the sky and roared: "Dragons fight in the wild, their blood is black and yellow;

The great new country is falling apart;

The chaos of kings reappears;

The suffering of the people——"

As he spoke, Sun Heling hid his face and smiled bitterly, choked with sobs and could no longer speak.

In a daze, a rickety figure fell down from the simple earthen wall of the earthen fort.

Almost at the same time, a roar sounded on the battlefield outside the Tumu Fort: "All the traitors in the imperial army were killed, and the faint king Zhao Qian was captured alive -"

"Dragon City Jingnan's army is mighty!"

"King Jin is a thousand years old!"

...

Jinling City, Prime Minister's Mansion.

The new Prime Minister Qin Ruhui was uneasy, his eyelids were twitching wildly, and he always felt that something big was about to happen.

According to the usual practice, Emperor Zhao Qian, who was driving the expedition in person, would send people to rush eight hundred miles every day to report the day's itinerary of the army to the capital, so that the six departments could provide logistical support according to the situation of the army's expedition.

However, the prime minister Qin Ruhui, who was acting as the emperor in court today, did not receive the battle report from the emperor from the front line during the morning court.

Even in the afternoon, there was still no news about the emperor and the frontline expeditionary army.

As a result, Qin Ruhui couldn't sit still on the spot.

The court officials gathered at the Prime Minister's Office were also speculating whether there was an accident on the front line.

Finally, Qin Ruhui decided to take the initiative to send eight hundred miles to find out about the emperor and the frontline troops.

Who would have thought that before Qin Ruhui could give the order, he would receive an urgent request from the front line of 800 miles.

"Report——"

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the front line is 800 miles away and is urgent!"

At this time, Qin Ruhui, who was sitting in the meeting hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, finally let go of his choice. While ordering people to submit the frontline battle report, he still had time to joke with the officials:

"Let me just say, the emperor is a bit playful, but he is never ambiguous when it comes to important matters."

"After all, our emperor is as wise as Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, and will become an emperor throughout the ages!"

As soon as these words came out, the court officials present nodded in agreement, flattering the Prime Minister for being so predictable.

Qin Ruhui's face also turned into a chrysanthemum smile.

However, when he turned on the eight-hundred-mile emergency message sent back from the front line, the smile on his face suddenly solidified.

This eight-hundred-mile urgent letter was not sent back in the tone of Emperor Zhao Qian, but was sent back jointly by Shen Guangming, Minister of War, and officials from the six ministries who accompanied the army on the expedition.

There is only one line in the content: The army was defeated in Tumu Fort, and the emperor was captured alive by the thief Chen Huaian!

brush!

Qin Ruhui felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he subconsciously folded the memorial.

In the main hall, an official discovered something unusual about Prime Minister Qin, and immediately asked with concern: "Prime Minister Qin, does the emperor's letter contain any new orders?"

Ha ha!

The next second, Qin Ruhui's expression returned to normal, and he returned to his usual posture as steady as an old dog. He smiled and said, "No, no!"

"It's just the daily chores of marching and fighting!"

With that said, Qin Ruhui stood up, walked to the meeting hall and said to the officials present: "Everyone, now that we have restored contact with the emperor and the frontline expeditionary army."

"You don't have to waste time here. You can all go back to your government offices. If you need any cooperation, I will send someone to your government offices."

Prime Minister Qin Ruhui had already spoken, and all the civil servants present stopped insisting.

After they all stood up and said goodbye to Prime Minister Qin, they left the meeting hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion in twos and threes.

Only a few of Qin Ruhui's close courtiers stayed as usual, waiting for further arrangements from Prime Minister Qin.

"Close the door!"

As soon as the courtiers left, Qin Ruhui immediately changed his face and ordered someone to close the door of the meeting hall with a serious look on his face.

Seeing this, several former princelings and now powerful Daxin court officials present finally realized that something big must have happened about the eight hundred miles of emergency that had just been reported from the front.

As expected, Qin Ruhui said straight to the point: "Everyone, something bad has happened. The imperial army's Northern Expedition defeated Tumubao, and the emperor was captured alive by that thief Chen Huaian!"

hiss!

As soon as these words came out, several people present couldn't help but take a breath.

Wang Xuefeng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, looked at Qin Ruhui with an expression of disbelief, and said word by word: "Prime Minister Qin, this is no joke!"

Guo Wei, the Minister of Punishment, also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Prime Minister Qin, is this news true?"

Facing his confidants on a boat, Qin Ruhui rushed the eight hundred miles sent back from the front line and threw it to Wang Xuefeng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue.

The latter only glanced at it and suddenly looked as if he had been struck by lightning. He was stunned in place and couldn't believe it.

The other people also looked at the memorials sent back from Tumubao by Shen Guangming, the Minister of War at the front line, risking their lives to send them, and they all looked like they were mourning for their heirs.

In the end, Wang Xuefeng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, was the first to wake up and humbly asked Qin Ruhui: "Prime Minister Qin, this matter is of great importance. How should we deal with it?"

"Yes, Prime Minister Qin, what should we do now?"

"Prime Minister Qin, please make up your mind, we will all listen to you!"

For a moment, everyone who came back to their senses looked at Qin Ruhui with a solemn expression, as if they had found a backbone.

Qin Ruhui was silent for a while, and then he said, "Everyone, there are two questions before us now."

"First, what will the dog thief Chen Huaian do after he captures the emperor alive?"

"Secondly, if something unexpected happens to the Emperor, how should he choose the successor to the throne?"

"Only by clarifying these two issues can we be targeted and invincible!"
