Volume 5: The Case of the Five Kings Fighting the Dragon Chapter 154: Besieging King Guangsheng
I have to say that Duan Ming's strategy is too risky.
If King Guangsheng was not so cautious and did not even think about that level, then this strategy would have completely failed.
As for whether there is a secret passage out of Zhenbao Pavilion, neither Duan Ming nor the four princes have any idea.
Once the fire is completely ignited and there is no secret passage, they will be in danger.
But it is precisely for this reason that once this strategy is successful, it will have the best effect.
As the soldiers of the four princes rushed out from the second floor, they instantly broke through the position set up by King Guangsheng outside.
King Guangsheng's expression changed drastically. He was now in a melee, and the crossbows in the hands of his soldiers were useless.
With no other choice, King Guangsheng had no choice but to lead his team to escape, planning to go out of the city to join the larger army.
However, Xing Qianqiu had already prepared for this. With an order, more than a hundred people from the Mingjing Division immediately dispersed and surrounded King Guangsheng.
At the same time, Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu rushed to the prefect's mansion as quickly as possible to meet Li Waner.
Li Waner's previous plan was Duan Ming's, but at that time Duan Ming did not expect that King Guangsheng would be so decisive and set fire to the Treasure Pavilion.
So Duan Ming asked Li Waner to find the prefect and hold him back so that he would not send troops to directly conflict with King Guangsheng.
In this way, King Guangsheng may be contained in the city.
If the prefect sends troops to attack King Guangsheng, then if the prefect wins, King Guangsheng will escape from Cambrian City, so the probability of capturing King Guangsheng will be low.
Once the prefect is defeated, King Guangsheng will be able to seize the power of the prefect, which will put Duan Ming and others in even more danger.
No matter what the possibility is, it is better to inform King Jing'an first and ask King Jing'an to bring troops over, and cooperate with the outside to get rid of the army outside the city first.
But now that something like this has happened, naturally we can no longer follow our previous ideas.
Soon, Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu arrived at the prefect's mansion, and Li Waner hurriedly came out after hearing about it.
"You must be Mr. Duan and Commander Xing. I have long admired your name." Rong Jing also got the news and came out.
"Prefect Rong." Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu hurriedly clasped their fists when they saw Rong Jing.
"I'm really sorry. I'm busy with official duties, and I haven't visited Cambrian City for a few days. I also ask for your forgiveness," Duan Ming said solemnly.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Rong Jing shook his head: "It is indeed a troubled time in Cambrian City recently. It is inevitable that you two are so busy that you have no time to visit."
"However, I heard that you and the four princes were trapped in the Treasure Pavilion by King Guangsheng..."
"That's it. King Guangsheng tried to burn us to death with rockets, but fell into Mr. Duan's plan and we escaped." Xing Qianqiu said: "And now I come to visit in the hope of getting help from the generals under the prefect."
"Oh? How can I help?" Rong Jing asked.
"Now King Guangsheng's army in the city has been dispersed. The four princes are reorganizing the army and planning to counterattack the enemy troops outside the city." Xing Qianqiu said: "King Guangsheng is working hard to fight out of the city. I hope
Able to meet up with the soldiers outside the city."
"Now I, the people in the Mingjing Division, are working hard to stop King Guangsheng and slow down his escape."
"However, our Mingjing Division has a limited number of people and cannot really cause harm to King Guangsheng or capture King Guangsheng, so..."
"So you want me to mobilize the city defense department to hunt down King Guangsheng with you?" Rong Jing said thoughtfully.
"That's exactly what I mean." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "I wonder if Prefect Rong can..."
"Yes, but I can't mobilize too many people." Rong Jing thought for a moment and said: "The number of people in the city defense department is limited, and the key point is to guard the city to prevent King Guangsheng's army from entering the city, so I must be the main force of the city defense department.
Arranged on the city wall."
"I understand." Xing Qianqiu nodded.
"And as you just said, King Guangsheng's army in the city was dispersed. In order to protect the safety of the people in the city, I must arrange a large number of personnel to maintain order in the city." Rong Jing said solemnly: "So, three hundred,
You must know that although King Guangsheng's army was dispersed, there were no less than five hundred people following King Guangsheng at this moment, and each of them was armed to the teeth.
Three hundred people, plus the more than one hundred people from the Mirror Division, there are only more than four hundred people. It is difficult to say that victory is guaranteed.
"Three hundred people are enough!" Duan Ming said: "Please also ask the eunuch to quickly gather all the troops and horses to prevent King Guangsheng from escaping."
"Okay." Rong Jing nodded and returned to the prefect's mansion to order troops.
"Princess, how are you? Have you contacted the prince?" Duan Ming looked at Li Waner.
"I don't know." Li Waner sighed: "The news from outside Cambrian City can't come in now, but the prefect has sent seven or eight smart people out of the city to convey information. I hope it will succeed."
"If we don't succeed, this will be a tough battle." Duan Ming sighed.
Although Cambrian City is an important city, it is far away from the border after all, so the number of city guards is less than 20,000 on weekdays. Although it has the advantage of defending the city, it is not optimistic.
After all, the soldiers in Cambrian City had been sparse on the battlefield for a long time, and King Guangsheng's army was all composed of elite soldiers and strong generals.
If it weren't for the troops brought by the four princes in the city, then there would be no hope of victory.
However, how many people can four princes bring? Even including servants, one prince can only bring less than a thousand people.
Back to business, Rong Jing soon brought 300 city guards and handed them over to Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu.
After Duan Ming, Xing Qianqiu and Prefect Rong apologized, they rushed towards the south gate with the 300 soldiers.
According to the intelligence just obtained from the Mirror Division, King Guangsheng was leading his army towards the South City Gate.
As for Li Waner and Zhu Cui, they were ladies after all, so Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu let them stay in the prefect's mansion to avoid any unexpected events.
Soon, Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu led people to meet King Guangsheng and the others.
Xing Qianqiu gave the order and rushed towards King Guangsheng with more than 200 city guards.
Xing Qianqiu has outstanding martial arts skills, but King Guangsheng is not an easy person.
A snake spear in his hand was as powerful as a thousand catties. Even Xing Qianqiu did not dare to take it hard and could only keep dealing with it.
"Xing Xing, do you really want to stop me?" King Guangsheng looked at Xing Qianqiu and snorted coldly: "As long as you join me now, you will have endless glory and wealth in the future."
"Sorry." Xing Qianqiu flew to avoid King Guangsheng's attack and replied calmly: "If I take refuge with you now, I will have no future."
"Humph, since you are stubborn, then go to hell!" King Guangsheng shouted!
