"My lord, please spare my life. It's not just that the generals are incompetent, it's that the imperial army is too powerful!" Lie
Now being pointed at by King Ning with a knife, Yang Qing, who didn't care too much, couldn't help but said to King Ning.
Prince Ning's eyes suddenly fell on Yang Qing, and he gritted his teeth with a sinister look on his face and said: "You said that the imperial army is too powerful, but Prince Gu gave you a hundred thousand troops. How can you say that one hundred thousand men can even fight for one hundred thousand men?"
Can't you stop it?"
Obviously, in King Ning's view, no matter how elite the imperial troops and horses were, Yang Qing, Wang Lun and the others could not stop the army of 100,000 for even a day, and there was no excuse for this.
While speaking, Prince Ning slashed the long knife in his hand towards Yang Qing and said, "What do you want from me, Prince Lone!"
With a scream, King Ning's knife hit Yang Qing's shoulder, directly cutting Yang Qing to the ground. Yang Qing, who was seriously injured, obviously did not expect that King Ning would actually chop him with the knife, and he kept rolling while screaming.
The climber tried to distance himself from King Ning.
However, King Ning stepped forward and slashed with his sword again. This time, Yang Qing was directly killed by King Ning.
Everyone was stunned, including Wang Hao, Li Shishi and others, who all looked shocked. No one expected that Prince Ning would kill Yang Qing in front of so many people.
Do it yourself in person.
At this moment, Wang Lun was so frightened that he kowtowed to Prince Ning repeatedly: "My lord, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me..."
Staring at Wang Lun, Prince Ning took a deep breath and said, "Tell Prince Gu clearly what happened!"
Now Wang Lun did not dare to hide anything at all, and told the story of the army's defeat in detail.
Of course, Wang Lun did not forget to mention how strong the imperial army was during his narration. They had tried their best to resist it.
After listening to Wang Lun's words, although Prince Ning could guess that there might be some untruths in what Wang Lun said, there should be no problem in general.
But because of this, Prince Ning looked rather ugly and said, "In your opinion, when will the army led by the traitor Li Huan be able to kill him?"
All eyes fell on Wang Lun.
Naturally, what everyone is most concerned about at this moment is when the imperial army will arrive, and they should be prepared. Otherwise, if they are caught off guard, Nanjing City will block the road in front of them, and the imperial army will attack behind them.
Come on, aren’t they unable to escape even if they have wings?
Wang Lun hesitated for a moment, looked at the sky, thought for a while and then said: "If nothing unexpected happens, Li Huan's troops should be busy gathering the defeated army and cleaning the battlefield by now. In addition, the sky is already dark now, unless
It's Li Huan and the others who want to march late at night..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Marching at night in this era is not an easy task. After all, looking at this era, nine out of ten army sergeants suffer from night blindness, and traveling at night is like running blind.
If there is only a very small number of people, they may travel at night, but if it is a large army, few generals will choose to travel at night.
Wang Hao stroked his beard and said to Prince Ning: "Your Majesty, what General Wang said is not unreasonable. It will take at least tomorrow for the imperial army to arrive. We still have time to prepare."
Prince Ning nodded slightly, looked at Wang Hao and others and said slowly: "Everyone, at this time, what should we do?"
Li Huan's army was behind and might arrive at any time. According to what Wang Lun said, King Ning made an estimate. Even though he still had an army of more than 100,000 men, he could not guarantee that it was Li Huan's army.
opponent.
There must be a way to deal with it at this time, otherwise once Li Huan leads the imperial army to kill, everything will be too late.
Li Shishi, Liu Yangzheng, Wang Hao and others looked at me and I looked at you, and they saw Liu Yangzheng stepping forward and saying to King Ning: "Your Majesty, I thought that we would give up the attack on Nanjing City immediately and lead the army back to Nanchang Mansion...
"
Before Liu Yangzheng could finish his words, Li Shishi said loudly: "No, Your Majesty, Liu Yangzheng's words are really harmful to the country. We cannot return to Nanchang Mansion under any circumstances, otherwise we will have no choice but to die!"
Just looking at Li Shishi's excited look, you can tell how greatly Li Shishi's mood was stimulated at this moment.
Not to mention Li Shishi, even Wang Hao was shocked by Liu Yangzheng's words.
No one expected that Liu Yangzheng would suggest that Prince Ning return to Nanchang Mansion, so when Li Shishi jumped out to object, Wang Hao couldn't help but said: "My lord, you must not return to Nanchang Mansion."
To be honest, for a moment, after hearing Liu Yangzheng's proposal, Prince Ning really had the idea of returning to Nanchang Mansion.
You must know that Prince Ning has been living in Nanchang Mansion since he was born. It can be said that he rarely left Nanchang Mansion throughout his life. This also resulted in Prince Ning's subconscious mind that Nanchang Mansion naturally gave him a sense of security.
At this time of crisis, Prince Ning instinctively wanted to find a place that could bring him a sense of security, so Nanchang Mansion was naturally his first choice.
But now Li Shishi and Wang Hao both opposed it, which made it clear to Prince Ning that Liu Yangzheng's suggestion was not the best choice at all.
After all, it took him so much experience to fight from Nanchang Mansion to Nanjing City. Although he is now blocked under Nanjing City, he is still very powerful, sweeping most of the south of the Yangtze River, attracting countless powerful and gentry people in the south of the Yangtze River to fight.
Rely on each other.
If he hadn't caused a huge stir by fighting all the way from Nanchang Mansion to the gates of Nanjing, it would have never been possible for so many people to rush to seek refuge.
If he really chooses to return to Nanchang Mansion at this time, the impact will definitely be huge, and I am afraid that countless people will feel disappointed with Prince Ning from now on.
After all, once Prince Ning returns to Nanchang Mansion, he may not have the chance to fight out again.
It can be said that Nanchang Mansion is a desperate place. For Prince Ning, after abandoning Nanjing, no matter where he goes, it is better than going to Nanchang Mansion.
Listening to Li Shishi's explanation, King Ning took a deep breath, looked at Li Shishi with a look of hope in his eyes and said, "Then in your opinion, where should the lonely king go?"
Li Shishi couldn't help being slightly stunned. To be honest, he really didn't have any good suggestions at the moment.
After all, looking at the surrounding places, except for Nanjing City, which is the best choice, there are really no other places to choose from.
At least for Prince Ning, if he doesn't have the aura of domination, he is naturally not suitable.
With a bit of a wry smile on his face, Li Shishi shook his head slightly at Prince Ning and said, "I don't know where I'm going at the moment. Please allow me to think about it."
Prince Ning nodded, looked at Wang Hao and others and said, "Where do you guys have any suggestions?"
Wang Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "If we go to Hangzhou Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion is connected to the Grand Canal and is one of the most prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River. If we can occupy Hangzhou Mansion, we may not be able to compete with the imperial court."
Everyone was talking to each other, and some people even suggested that King Ning should go north to either enter Shaanxi and capture Xi'an Mansion, or go north to capture Luoyang.
When there are more people, there will naturally be more suggestions. It can be said that there are all kinds of suggestions. Even if many suggestions are unreliable at first glance, those who have a sense of the overall situation will not make such suggestions. But who can
Most of these people have no overall perspective. After all, most of them are short-sighted and only have a small vision, or they only guard their own family. They expect these people to give Prince Ning some constructive suggestions.
It can only be said that Prince Ning really found the wrong person.
In the end, even Prince Ning couldn't bear to hear it anymore. He waved his hand and took Wang Hao, Liu Yangzheng, Li Shishi and other close men into the commander's tent.
After a few people sat down, King Ning sent an order to recall Yang Dai and suspend the attack on Nanjing City.
Just as King Ning and others were discussing how to deal with the current crisis, Li Huanzheng, who Wang Lun judged would not be able to reach Nanjing City until at least tomorrow, led an army to rush towards Nanjing City.
Except for some soldiers and horses left to guard the defeated rebels, tens of thousands of troops rushed towards Nanjing without stopping.
Under normal circumstances, soldiers with night blindness are not suitable for traveling at night, but the army brought by Li Huan this time was all elite, and the number of soldiers with night blindness was not too many. This made it difficult for Li Huan to lead the army.
The army's night march created convenient conditions.
If the distance of tens of miles were covered during the day, it would take about half a day, but at night, it would take at least half of the night.
In addition to the torches held by the soldiers who led the way, the number of torches held by the tens of thousands of troops was extremely limited. It's not that Li Huan didn't want to, it's just that Li Huan didn't allow it.
If tens of thousands of people were all holding torches, to be honest, the scene would be so spectacular that people could probably notice it even from a distance of more than ten miles.
Li Huan was originally preparing to attack King Ning's rebel camp at night, striving to completely put down King Ning's rebellion at the minimum cost.
If King Ning's army is prepared, there will inevitably be a big battle. Although Li Huan has enough confidence in the army he brought, he still doesn't know how many soldiers will be killed or injured in a chaotic battle.
Since it was destined to be a victory without any suspense, Li Huan naturally did not want his soldiers to suffer too many casualties, so King Ning Li Huan drove slower at night and tried his best not to disturb King Ning's army and let King Ning's troops
The rebels were ready.
In the night, looking from a distance, you can see a bonfire in the distance.
Li Huan looked at the outline of the rebel camp of King Ning, and couldn't help but smile.
It must be said that Wang Lun's judgment seriously affected King Ning and others, and they did not send any sentinels to prepare for night attacks.
After all, in the subconscious mind of King Ning and others, Li Huan was unlikely to lead an army to suddenly attack at night, so besides ordering the soldiers guarding the camp to be more vigilant, no other precautions were taken.
When Li Huan led the army quietly approaching a few miles away from the rebel camp, the rebels still knew nothing about it.
Zhang Huai, who was following Li Huan, looked in the direction of the rebel camp and couldn't help but said with a smile: "The rebels are the rebels. It's true that they are a bunch of rabble. They don't even have any precautions."
No, I really don’t know how they can feel relieved. Are they really not afraid of us attacking them overnight?” Lie
Hearing this, Xu Ying chuckled and said, "Maybe they really didn't think about us traveling all night!"
All the generals couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.
Li Huan coughed lightly, glanced at everyone, and said solemnly: "Everyone obeys the order!"
Immediately, everyone was shocked. Anyone who was not a fool would know that Li Huan gave the order and that was when they led the army into the rebel camp.
Then I heard Li Huan say: "Everyone, it is today that you will make great achievements. In today's battle, I hope that you will join me in wiping out the rebels."
While speaking, Li Huan stared at the rebel camp in the distance in the night, pointed his spear forward and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy, make achievements, and make your wife a wife!"
"Kill!" column
In an instant, nearly ten thousand war horses began to run gradually faster and faster under the driving of their respective owners.
They were only a few miles apart, and when the speed of the tens of thousands of cavalry gradually increased, the earthquake had already spread to all directions.
In the camp, Prince Ning and others did not feel sleepy at all. More than a dozen figures were gathering in the camp, discussing how to deal with the current situation.
Yang Dai, Wang Lun, Wang Hao, Li Shishi and others were sitting there, all with sad faces. It was obvious that they had not come up with a solution that satisfied everyone.
Suddenly, the ground shook slightly. When Prince Ning and others noticed the movement, they were stunned for a moment. Then they reacted and their expressions became extremely ugly.
"Cavalry, a large number of cavalry, it's Li Huan who's coming, it must be Li Huan and the others!"
The first person to react was Wang Lun Lie, who had experienced the charge of tens of thousands of cavalry.
Thousands of horses galloping and the earth shook. This was not the first time Wang Lun had experienced it, so when he noticed the familiar movement, he made a judgment almost without thinking.
Yang Dai and other generals also changed their expressions, and Yang Dai even said to Prince Ning: "Your Majesty, this movement is so big, I'm afraid there are more than ten thousand cavalry, and except for the imperial army led by Li Huan, there is no one else.
.”
King Ning stood up suddenly, stared at Wang Lun who looked unbelievable, and gritted his teeth and said: "Wang Lun, is this what you said about Li Huan's soldiers and horses who will never march at night? Come and tell me,
What’s going on with the soldiers and horses outside?”
Wang Lun shook his head subconsciously and said: "The last general doesn't know, the last general doesn't know!"
With a puff, King Ning suddenly pulled out his sword, stepped forward and pierced Wang Lun's heart fiercely. In Wang Lun's unbelievable eyes, he said coldly: "Wang Lun mistaken me, the great cause of the lonely king
All destroyed by your hands!"
As Wang Lun's body fell to the ground, Prince Ning, holding the long sword dripping with blood, looked at the crowd with red eyes and said: "What should we do? What should we do? You should think of a solution quickly!"
