My Cousin is So Weak.

Chapter 249 Shooting General Yang before the battle

"Otherwise...if we are to fight to the death with Da Sui's army at this moment, no matter whether we win or lose, His Majesty in the capital will be a sharp sword. By then, it will be easy to pierce the Prince's troops who were seriously damaged in the battle!"

The Taoist priest's words gave the prince a clear answer.

He is not the only one to deal with the Da Sui army. Everyone in the capital has a share, so why should he block it at the front line and allow the people in the capital to find the right opportunity to deal with him.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to give up Wengcheng and let him go back and clean up everything in the royal capital. Then he can order other tribes in the Southern Tang Dynasty to have more chances of winning.

So the idea came up, and the action was naturally fast.

One second he thought he was an eyesore, but the next second he grinned and called him "National Master". His attitude changed so quickly that the lieutenants around the prince felt a little admired.

"What the Imperial Master said makes sense, but the royal capital is guarded by more than 400,000 people, and I currently only have 200,000 in my hands. I am afraid of difficulties when facing the enemy, so I would like to ask the Imperial Master to point out a clear way!"

"There are only 200,000 people now, which does not mean that there will always be only 200,000 people. There are several cities in the royal capital, right? If we recruit troops along the way, there will be fewer troops than the defenders of the royal capital. This is One."

"Secondly, most of the defenders in the royal capital have never experienced war. It is said that the embroidered pillows are useless. But the soldiers who have been trained in each city are different. They are ready to go to the battlefield at any time, so Both the ability and the mind are much stronger. Even if the number of people is still small, there is no need to worry, right? "

After listening to the Taoist priest's words, the prince and the lieutenants also felt that it was right!

"Okay, let's release the news about recruiting troops now. If you are willing to join the loyal army of this prince, your military salary will be tripled!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards.

As soon as the news spread, there were indeed many warriors who "came anonymously". Some were experienced and some were novices, but they all had some skills, so in just a few days, the prince's This team has expanded from a mere two hundred thousand to nearly thirty.

Among them were many former defenders of Weng City, all of whom expressed their loyalty to the prince to the death.

For a time, the prince's inner swell reached its extreme.

The emperor should be like him, casually raising his arms and calling out, and putting all the talents in the world to his use.

The news quickly spread to the capital, and many people started to panic. The previous princelings had been wiped out, but there were still fish that slipped through the net. When these people gathered together, they were a force that should not be underestimated.

Both the left and the right are rebels. If they can support the prince in the capital and cooperate with him inside and outside, when the prince returns to the capital, it will be the time when all of them will be praised. When the time comes, those who have vengeance will take revenge and those who have grievances will complain. Let it go!

Therefore, secretly, the prince's old subordinates are also spreading some rumors.

For example, it was the emperor's incompetence that made the gods angry, so all the royal descendants died unexpectedly. The prince was an outstanding figure from heaven, so he escaped by chance, and now he leads an army to clear out the tyrant and restore legitimacy.

This is different from when the Da Sui army came over.

One is the change of power within the Southern Tang royal family, and the other is the life and death of the country and the species, so the attitudes towards them are naturally different.

It is strange to say that under the guidance of the "National Master", the prince and his party were able to attack these cities with ease. Perhaps because they were all from the Southern Tang Dynasty, they did not fight so hard. Later, those cities simply knelt down to greet them. The new emperor" is coming.

One by one, they suddenly swore allegiance to the prince, raised the banner of "clear the tyrant and restore orthodoxy", and followed them towards the royal capital. It only took eighteen days to set off from Wengcheng and arrive at the capital.

The day when the peach blossoms bloom in March has not yet arrived, and the spirit of the Southern Tang Dynasty has almost disappeared. The prince is at the bottom of the city, shouting to the indignant soldiers on the city tower.

"My father is unjust and has few help, but this prince has many help. It's time for you to understand the situation clearly. Instead of aiming your troops at your own people, you should put more thought into welcoming this prince into the city. With these hundreds of thousands of troops in hand, you can also Are you afraid that Da Sui's army will attack? I won't be able to come back if the time comes!"

The tone is so loud that it is unprecedented in history.

The lieutenants following him were all very high-spirited, as if they had won many battles. On the other hand, the Taoist priest was a little out of place, and his calmness seemed to separate him from these soldiers.

The person guarding the city today is General Yang.

The prince's party was massacred, and he was the one who took the order. What's more, he also led people to break into the East Palace. He killed many nobles who he didn't even dare to look at before. Naturally, his confidence has greatly increased at this moment. .

In the face of the prince's clamor, he did not hesitate to give in.

"Well, you are a treacherous official and a traitor. You still dare to talk nonsense here. Your Majesty is kind and canonize you as the crown prince after losing the third prince. You were originally supposed to be entrusted with a great responsibility. But in the end, you did not come to the aid of Fei City, and secondly, you showed off in a brazen manner. , General Lu and his son spent their whole lives fighting for the Southern Tang Dynasty, and finally they met It's really unfair to die at the hands of a robber like you! You have a rebellious intention, and you didn't even let your brothers go. You actually destroyed the Southern Tang royal family through the poisoning. It's so unreasonable! We don’t have to show mercy to those who are loyal and unfilial, we will kill them quickly!”

He is a military commander and his voice is naturally loud.

Therefore, many people present heard it. Why was it different from the "Book of Announcement to the World" they had heard before? Many people also became confused, and for a while they didn't know who to listen to.

The prince was furious, how could he not scream when the innocent was wronged!

"Don't be ridiculous. It's you people who instigated my father to kill me. You said it was nice to make me a prince, but in fact you gave a secret order to let the Lu family and his son silence me afterwards. Is this his royal pen?!"

After saying that, he took out the secret decree from his arms.

It was indeed given to General Lu by the Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. After being found by the prince, it was of course a sharp weapon.

As soon as this object came out, General Yang immediately lost the chance to refute. While his eyes widened with anger, he did not notice that someone had already secretly aimed a crossbow arrow at his neck.

Whoosh, whoosh, three arrows shot out in unison.

One arrow hit the center of the eyebrow, one arrow passed through the throat, and one arrow penetrated the eye socket.

No matter which arrow it was, it was all determined to make General Yang die, and all three arrows hit the target. General Yang fell from the city gate tower without even speaking a word.

It fell to pieces in an instant.

The soldiers on both sides were surprised when they saw this scene, and it was the Taoist priest who reminded them.

"Your Highness, this is a great opportunity, go for it!"

"Go ahead."

"Come on!"

Before the people on the city tower could react, the prince's loyal army rushed towards the city gate.
