Chapter 821 820 [Battle for the Door] (Part 2)
The gate of Jiangling City is about five feet long. After the mission's carriages and horses passed through, the Southern Zhou palace guards escorted Princess Qinghe's carriage forward, followed by the palace maids and servants waiting to enter.
The city guards stood on both sides, looking at these Zhou people with a bit of curiosity.
After decades of friction and war between the two countries, it is obvious that they will not completely let go of their hatred just because of a marriage. Especially these ordinary soldiers who often have to face the harassment of the Zhou army can't help but show a somewhat condescending attitude at this moment. Because in their eyes
In the simple values of Nanzhou, now it is Nanzhou who takes the initiative to send the princess over, and the meaning of bowing his head and admitting defeat is self-evident.
Facing these gazes, the guards of Southern Zhou Dynasty still looked as usual, guarding the princess carriage and moving forward slowly.
In the spacious and comfortable carriage, Princess Qinghe looked slightly nervous, because from the moment she entered Jiangling City, she had to accept a new life, and she would live as Princess Liang for the rest of her life. Judging from some news she heard in the past,
The eldest prince is very likely to become the crown prince, which means that she may even become the queen of Daliang in the future.
From princess to queen, this change of status is not too bizarre, but Princess Qinghe does not feel joy in her heart, but is full of worry and anxiety.
The carriage was very smooth, and there was no bumps in the carriage. Princess Qinghe could not calm down. She turned to look at the girl sitting next to her, but found that her face was slightly pale and her eyes were slightly out of focus. She couldn't help but ask with concern.
Said: "Chu Rong, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Xu Churong shook his head and suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated topic: "Sister, are you familiar with all these people accompanying you?"
Princess Qinghe naturally felt a little strange, but she still patiently replied: "Most of the palace maids are from Zhaochun Palace. My father hopes that I will not have a black eye in Beiliang, and at least there are some people I can trust. As for
I have never seen those jailers, servants and guards before."
"Never seen it?" Xu Churong felt his heartbeat suddenly start to speed up.
Princess Qinghe said doubtfully: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Sister--" Xu Churong had just spoken, and the carriage that had been steady suddenly accelerated. She almost fell forward. Before the two girls could calm down, sharp shouts suddenly broke out from outside.
"kill!"
When this luxurious carriage passed through the door and entered the spacious and flat main street in front, the driver whipped his whip violently, and the horse neighed in pain and then galloped forward with four hooves. At the same time, the three hundred guards of Nansan held the
He tightened his grip on the weapon and struck out in both directions without warning.
The defenders of Daliang were unable to evade, and several people were killed in an instant. Others immediately resisted with all their might. However, the personal martial arts of the two sides were greatly different, and the inside of the doorway was a relatively narrow area. The formation could not exert its power and was more suitable for these martial arts.
A superb imperial guard of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
The most important point is that these ordinary soldiers did not expect that the other party would actually take action.
The shouts of killing continued one after another, and the defenders of Daliang were forced to retreat after reacting. The guards of the Southern Zhou Dynasty quickly controlled the door opening and the city gate.
The accident suddenly struck, and the officials of the Daliang Mission who had entered the front of the main street were all stunned. Sheng Duanming hurriedly stepped out of the carriage, looked at the brutal fighting near the city gate, and said angrily with his hair and hair hanging: "Hurry up and help take back the city gate!
"
Feng Yi and Gai Ju looked at each other, then raised their hands and replied: "People from Shanda, please rest assured, the city gate will never be damaged!"
The two men led a hundred soldiers to turn their horses' heads, and galloped through the long street like wind and clouds.
The carriage that Princess Qinghe was riding in happened to be on the route of their charge. The carriage driver showed a smile as if he was looking forward to death, and swung his long whip to hit the horse's buttocks with all his strength.
The two sides continued to approach at high speed, and the coachman roared wildly. However, Feng Yi suddenly raised his left hand, and the knights changed directions and split into two, rushing past both sides of the carriage like a divided torrent.
The smile on the coachman's face condensed at this moment, and then several soldiers jumped down. The leader kicked him off the carriage, and the others swarmed up. Some people removed his chin, and some tied him up.
His hands and feet quickly left him unable to struggle anymore.
Everyone brought the carriage to the street, and the leader said respectfully to the carriage: "Your Royal Highness, Miss Xu, my Marquis has ordered me to tell you two, please don't panic, he will protect your safety."
Princess Qinghe's trembling voice came from the carriage: "What happened?"
The soldier replied: "The guards brought by His Highness are attacking the city gate."
Princess Qinghe's vision went dark and she almost fainted.
Xu Churong quickly supported her and said worriedly: "Sister, take care of yourself and ignore these things for now."
Princess Qinghe looked miserable and said sadly: "Chu Rong, why do they do this?"
Yes...why are you so cold-blooded and ruthless?
Xu Churong couldn't understand. In fact, the premonition in her heart had become stronger and stronger since entering the city. However, she still could not believe that Pei Yue's inference would become reality. Looking at Princess Qinghe who was holding back tears, she only felt
My sixteen years of life are like a joke.
For the sake of the safety of the Zhou Dynasty, the princess sister would rather marry to the distant Beiliang without any complaints from the beginning to the end. Could it be that in the eyes of His Majesty, her happiness and even her life are a pawn that can be discarded?
As for herself... her father's favor in the past has turned into an extremely strong irony.
The girl seemed to suddenly grow up at this moment. She held Princess Qinghe's wrist and said weakly but firmly: "Sister, don't be afraid, I will always be with you."
The carriage was escorted by Pei Yue's soldiers, but there was a dead silence inside the carriage.
Although the defenders in the city had an overwhelming numerical advantage, a strange situation appeared near Yangchun Gate at this time.
After Feng Yi arrived with his soldiers, the two sides faced off at a distance of about five to six feet. The Southern Zhou imperial guards obviously did not dare to leave the vicinity of the door, because their mission was to occupy Yangchun Gate and wait for the subsequent support of their own large forces.
However, the defenders did not seem to be in a hurry. After being unable to cope with the death of more than ten people at first, they chose to withdraw from the doorway and quietly watched the enemy like calm beasts.
Baoding Bo Cai Qian was still on the city wall at this moment. He only sent one general down to deal with it. Feng Yi couldn't help but be startled when he saw this man. He immediately dismounted his horse and went to greet him. The rest of the people still maintained this quiet situation, seemingly at all.
There is no rush to recapture the city gate.
This scene made the Southern Zhou imperial guards feel chills in their hearts. They did not expect such a development. Many people had realized that something was wrong, but at this moment, they had no second choice.
Some of the guards turned their heads and looked back, looking past the palace maids and eunuchs who had not yet entered the city, to the vast plain outside the city.
Pei Yue and his Beiwei camp are there.
At the moment when the chaos occurred, the palace maids with beautiful figures and beautiful faces immediately trembled and hid in both directions after a brief period of astonishment. Most of them were unwilling to stay away from their hometowns, but they did not dare to disobey the holy will.
How could I have imagined that such a change would happen? Running towards the corners on both sides at this moment is just the instinct of survival.
What was completely different from these palace ladies was that hundreds of eunuchs and servants did not choose to escape, but instead made an unexpected move.
They immediately blocked the dozens of large vehicles outside the city gate. Although they could not block the road into the city, they formed a vehicle formation to resist the Beiwei camp in a very short time. These people were very efficient.
Opening the cage on the cart, it was supposed to be Princess Qinghe's dowry, but what they took out were all kinds of handy weapons.
At this point, the whole conspiracy that the Southern Zhou emperors and ministers had worked so hard to outline was finally revealed.
All their concessions were just for today's battle. The purpose was naturally to recapture the crucial Jiangling City, and then use their powerful navy to completely wipe out the entire Tiancang River defense line.
The most critical part of this battle is to capture Yangchun Gate and then support it until the army comes.
Pei Yue looked at the cold attitudes of those outside the city gate, smiled imperceptibly, and then turned his horse's head to face the south.
