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

Outside Dragon City, Yunhui's army was in formation.

Chang Chenghu, the deputy commander of the army, was restless, his eyelids were twitching, and he always felt that something big was going to happen.

He rode his war horse back and forth on both sides of the suspension bridge hanging high on the moat. From time to time, he put up a pergola with his hands and looked at the Dragon City with its tall city walls and closed gates.

At this time, almost an hour had passed since Wu Fengxian, the vanguard general of the Yunhui Army, led his troops into the city to receive the Dragon City defenders' talisman and the customs seal.

On the crenellations of the city wall, the four-clawed yellow dragon flag symbolizing the Polu army still hung high, and Major General Wu Fengxian and Imperial Envoy Sun Heling were not seen on the city tower.

The sun was setting in the west, and it was getting dark.

Chang Chenghu thought about it again and again, and finally decided to order a storm on Longcheng. Even if Sun Heling, an old man, labeled him as a "rebellion" afterwards, he could never sit idly by and watch the major general fall into danger.

Otherwise, if Wu Fengxian really does something wrong under Chang Cheng's nose, I'm afraid the commander-in-chief will have to kill him when he arrives on the spot tomorrow.

Chang Chenghu could still decide which was more serious, immediate death or possible death later.

"Send the order to the soldiers. Please pass on this general's handwriting. The Yunhui army stationed in Jibeichuan will set off immediately. They must arrive at Longcheng within an hour!"

"Got the order!"

"The front army, the middle army, and the Yuhou army on the left and right obey the order: the cavalry dismounts to prepare for battle, the infantry prepares siege equipment, and together with the general, attack Longcheng and rescue the major general!"

"The last general takes command!"

Following the military orders issued by Chang Chenghu, the deputy commander of the army, the entire Yunhui Army vanguard immediately took action. The messengers rushed straight to the temporary camp in Beichuan, and the other arms prepared step by step for the siege equipment.

Just as the soldiers of the vanguard of the Yunhui Army were nervously and orderly connecting to the flying bridge across the river and preparing to forcibly cross the moat outside Dragon City, the two heavy solid wood doors of the Yongding Gate of Dragon City were slowly pushed open from inside the city.

Immediately afterwards, the suspension bridge hanging high above the moat also began to slowly lower, and finally spanned both sides of the moat with a "boom", re-building a passage connecting the inside and outside of Dragon City.

Seeing this scene, Chang Chenghu hurriedly ordered: "Send the order, all armies should stop preparing to attack the city and stay alert!"

As he spoke, a long figure wearing golden armor slowly rode out from Yongding Gate. The yellow gelding he was riding was also clad in golden armor. He was majestic and extraordinary.

Following closely behind them were eighteen knights wearing silver armor, holding swords, and covered with black gauze. Their horses were all covered in silver armor, and the silver light shone with a sharp edge.

Then, as far as the eye could see, a mass of black armored cavalry rode out of the city in an orderly manner from Yongding Gate. The men were armed with swords and horses, and they were menacing and murderous.

No, Chen Huaian is planning to raise his troops to rebel. The young general is in danger!

Chang Chenghu's heart skipped a beat. He recognized at a glance that the first person riding a golden-armored yellow gelding out of the city was Chen Huaian, the eldest son of the former Jin Dynasty, who was renamed King of Beihai by the emperor and exiled to the cold and barren land of the north!

"Quick, quick, order the cavalry to put on their armor and mount their horses to meet the enemy!"

For a moment, Chang Chenghu broke into cold sweat and fear arose in his heart.

After all, he was also the deputy general in Yunhui's army. He knew very well that once Chen Huai'an's Polu Army cavalry charged, the ten thousand horses in his hands without the protection of the cavalry would not be able to stop them, and it would be a massacre.

He and his 10,000 Yunhui troops were responsible for the killing, while Chen Huaian and the Polu army's cavalry were responsible for the indiscriminate killing!

Chang Chenghu never dreamed that Chen Huaian, who had only 8,000 troops, would dare to lead his troops out of the city to attack, which immediately disrupted his entire deployment.

In the imagination of Chang Chenghu and even the Northwest General Wu Qingyun and his counselors, it was not that they had not considered that Chen Huaian would resist the order or even jump over the wall to fight against the imperial court.

Because of this, Wu Qingyun, who was the commander-in-chief of the northwest, mobilized 100,000 troops from the three northwest towns to approach Longcheng in three directions under the instruction of the current emperor Zhao Qian, blocking all escape routes for Chen Huaian and the 8,000 Polu troops.

They deduced on the sand table that Chen Huaian led his troops to abandon the city overnight and go straight to the Western Regions to make a living;

It has also been deduced that Chen Huaian defended the city and fought with trapped animals. In the end, after a bloody battle, the city was destroyed and everyone died;

It was also deduced that Chen Huaian endured the humiliation and endured the hardships of King Gou Jian of Yue, and then went to Beihai and sealed him again.

Even the possible solutions that Jin Princess Xu Ruoyun, the eldest daughter of the previous dynasty's Duke, could seek for Chen Huaian were deduced;

But I never thought that in the new dynasty where "military power is the most important", Chen Huaian, a loser who has made no achievements on horseback for so many years, would have the courage and courage to leave the city on his own initiative with only the remnants of the eight thousand Polu army. Launched an attack on Yunhui's army.

He even didn't believe that the eight thousand soldiers of the Polu Army were monolithic. They dared to risk killing the Nine Tribes by following Chen Huaian and raising troops to rebel against the imperial court, knowing that they were alone and helpless.

However, with the facts before him, Chang Chenghu couldn't help but not believe it.

It just so happens that Chen Huaian, the weak and useless prince who is regarded by the world as a tiger father and son, has already led the remnants of the Polu Army to take the initiative to go out of the city and form an array to fight against the vanguard of the Yunhui Army who were ordered to receive the dragon city's military talisman and city defense.

Chang Chenghu's preliminary visual inspection showed that there were more than 3,000 Polu cavalry that followed Chen Huaian out of the city, and they should be the last cavalry unit in the Polu army.

Chen Huaian came out with all his talents this time, and it seemed that he was planning to fight to the death!

Three thousand cavalry versus ten thousand infantry. Logically speaking, the advantage lies with the Yunhui Army led by Chang Chenghu.

But at this moment, Chang Chenghu was very energetic and did not dare to relax at all.

First, the death of Major General Wu Feng was uncertain, and Yun's army threw a rat weapon;

Secondly, Chang Chenghu must also understand the principle of "the soldiers who mourn will win";

Furthermore, he had just ordered the cavalry to dismount and prepare to attack the city, although as soon as he realized that something was wrong, he immediately ordered the cavalry to put on armor and mount their horses to meet the enemy.

But it takes time to move up and down the formation, and Chen Huaian and the Polu Army on the opposite side will not give him this time.

Sure enough, the Polu Army cavalry across from them started to move as they spoke!

Seeing this, Chang Chenghu was horrified.

But at this moment, the battle between the two armies was imminent. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Chang Chenghu, as the commander of the army, could only forcefully give up the idea of ​​galloping and running away.

Instead, he raised his voice and shouted to Chen Huaian and the Polu army on the other side of the moat in order to distract the other party's attention and buy time for his own cavalry to mount their horses and prepare for war.

"Chen Huaian, where did you take our Major General?"

Chang Chenghu roared, but found that no one on the other side paid any attention to him. There were only the sounds of the horses' iron hooves hitting the ground and the snorts from time to time.

He continued to shout: "Chen Huaian, do you know what this means?"

Still no one answered.

Chang Chenghu said again: "Chen Huaian, you disobeyed the decree and openly raised troops against the imperial court. You are guilty of conspiracy, which is a serious crime against the nine tribes!"

"Commanders of the Polu Army, are you determined to follow Chen Huaian in conspiring against the imperial court?

This move by Chen Huaian will lead you to death. Think of your wives, children, and children!

It's too late to rein in the situation now, otherwise when the Yunhui army arrives tomorrow, you will be left with the only dead end of all nine tribes! "

"Now, I, Chang Chenghu, as the deputy general of Yunhui Army, promise you that as long as you lay down your weapons and surrender to Yunhui Army on the spot, I promise to leave the past to all the Polu Army brothers.

If you are willing to join Yunhui's army, everyone will be promoted to three levels in a row! "

"If anyone can capture the traitor Chen Huaian alive, he will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

“Even if you are alive, even those who are dead will count!”

Chang Chenghu's voice was hoarse from shouting, and there was still no response from the Polu army on the opposite side. Three thousand cavalry had already assembled into a wild goose formation.

I saw Chen Huaian, who was wearing a golden battle armor and holding a Fangtian Painted Halberd, leading the way. With one arm raised flat, the Fangtian Painted Halberd, which was about one foot and two feet long and weighed about a hundred kilograms, was pointed directly at the vanguard of the Yunhui Army who hadtily formed to fight outside the city. , standing proudly at the head of the wild goose formation.

At the same time, a deep and powerful drum beat suddenly sounded from the gate tower of Dragon City.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The person beating the drum was unexpectedly Xu Ruoyun, the former princess of the Jin Dynasty who usually kept her fingers clean.

Her two arms, as slender as white jade, flew up and down, and the drumsticks repeatedly hit the cowhide drum surface, silently telling the mother's passionate mood when sending her son off to war.

Immediately afterwards, there were more sounds of musical instruments beating on the tower.

There are drum bowls (instruments similar to copper bowls) that are clear and loud to play with the big drums, war drums that have a rich and powerful tone to enhance the rhythm, bamboo flutes that play clear and moving melodies, and gongs that create the atmosphere and musical effect for the entire performance. .

In addition, there were dozens of royal ladies dressed as men, playing flutes, shengs, wind instruments and other instruments, and some played guzhengs and pipas to accompany the performance.

The large drum played by Xu Ruoyun, the former princess of the Jin Dynasty, was taken as the leading role, and was supplemented by drum bowls, war drums, bamboo flutes, guzheng, pipa, Xiao, sheng, pipes, gongs and other musical instruments in the hands of the royal family members.

On top of the Dragon City Tower, an impassioned and majestic song "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation" was played for Jin King Chen Huaian and the soldiers of the Polu Army who were about to conquer the south.

Accompanying the music of "The King of Qin's Breaking the Formation" was played, there were also thousands of soldiers of the Polu army standing at the crenellations of the city wall chanting "Fengtian Jingdi Dibu Niwen" in unison:

"I, Chen Huaian, the eldest son of King Chen Polu of Jin, and the Crown Prince of Jin who was personally conferred by Emperor Gaozu. Since I was granted the title, I have abided by the law, been loyal to the emperor, and patriotic;"

"The new emperor succeeded to the throne and favored traitors. He allowed Wu Qingyun, Chang Chenghu and other traitors to confuse the government and the public, and acted in the opposite direction. If the traitors are not eliminated, the country will not be protected;"

"Now, in accordance with the late emperor's edict, I hold the golden whip given to me to beat the king to provide peace to heaven. I raise my troops to fight against the rebels, eliminate the traitors, clear the emperor's side, stabilize the country, consolidate the foundation of the country, and restore the bright future of our Daxin Dynasty!"

At the same time, Chen Huaian shouted sharply: "The soldiers of the Polu Army listen to the order——"

"The general is here!"

More than three thousand Dragon City cavalry responded in unison.

Chen Huaian: "Follow me out of the city to meet the enemy, conquer the south to conquer the rebels, and kill the traitor Chang Chenghu!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"
