When the Sixth Prince heard the shouts of killing coming closer and closer, he felt a little anxious. When he looked outside, he saw that his army was at an absolute disadvantage.
He said with disbelief: "How could this happen?"
His soldiers and horses are stronger than those of Black Tiger Village, with more people and better weapons. Now they have just been defeated in the battle!
He couldn't figure out why at all?
The guard was anxious: "Your Highness, leave quickly! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
The eyes of the sixth prince were full of disbelief, and he said angrily: "Where is Zhang Zhiyan? Isn't he leading the army?"
Zhang Zhiyan is the general of Dingzhou and commands all the troops in Dingzhou.
The guard was speechless when the Sixth Prince asked this question.
When the troops were sent out today, the sixth prince wanted to have a taste of leading troops, so he took Zhang Zhiyan's command seal and wanted to lead the troops himself.
Zhang Zhiyan disagreed at first, so the Sixth Prince used his status to suppress him, and even dismissed Zhang Zhiyan from his post as General and demoted him to Deputy General.
Changing commanders before battle is a taboo for military strategists.
The sixth prince had studied the art of war for several days, but had never led an army.
He feels that there is no essential difference between fighting and fighting. As long as there are more people, you can win.
So when he removed Zhang Zhiyan, he didn't feel anything was wrong. Instead, he felt that it was Zhang Zhiyan's fault that he wanted to lead troops and Zhang Zhiyan refused to cooperate.
It would not have been like this if Zhang Zhiyan was in the commander's tent just now and immediately adjusted the formation to stabilize the morale of the army.
It's just that the guard knew this, but he didn't dare to say it!
If this matter is revealed and the Sixth Prince's face is hurt, he will be the unlucky one!
The guard could only say: "If you go back to Your Highness, General Zhang has been killed just now!"
The Sixth Prince's eyes widened. He really didn't expect Zhang Zhiyan to be dead!
Although he had never fought before, but now that he got started, he found that it was not that easy, and it was completely different from what the military manual said!
At this point, he was finally a little scared, but in his heart he blamed Zhang Zhiyan for being so useless and dying so easily.
He has brought all the soldiers and horses from Dingzhou here today. If they are all damaged here, I am afraid that Emperor Cheng Ming will not be able to explain!
But at this time, he didn't know what to do to turn the situation around. He was unwilling to do so, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"
The guards breathed a sigh of relief and escorted him to escape to Fangcheng, the capital city of Dingzhou.
As soon as they enter Fucheng and the city gate is closed, it will be impossible for these bandits to attack the city for a while.
But before they took a few steps, a sharp arrow shot over and killed a guard directly.
The guard was very close to the sixth prince, and his blood spattered the sixth prince's face.
Qian Duoduo was also scared to death. He wanted to escape, but an arrow shot over and nailed his fat body to a wooden stake nearby. He saw that he could not survive.
The Sixth Prince usually screamed fiercely and killed many servants, but this was the first time he saw the people around him being killed and having his face spattered with blood.
His face instantly turned pale with fear, and his legs went weak.
Several guards knew that if something happened to him, they would all die, so one guard picked him up and ran away.
But before the guard could take two steps, a sharp arrow shot him in the leg. He immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The guards protected the Sixth Prince in the middle, but the arrow came quickly and urgently, and in just a few breaths, they were all killed.
The sixth prince was trembling with fear, knowing that he would definitely die if he stayed here any longer, so he crawled forward on his hands and feet.
As soon as he took a step, an arrow hit the ground by grazing the tip of his nose.
As long as the arrow misses a little, it can penetrate the sixth prince's head.
The Sixth Prince was so frightened that he dared not move anymore. When he bravely looked back, he saw Ning Guzhou riding a horse, holding a big bow and looking at him coldly.
Tang Miaoxin smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Ding Wang, I haven't seen you for many years, you don't need to give such a big gift when we meet!"
When the sixth prince saw the two of them, his whole body felt bad, but he forced a smile: "Seventh brother, seventh brother and sister, what a coincidence!"
Tang Miaoxin smiled and rolled her eyes: "I think it's quite a coincidence."
"Today someone told me that His Highness King Ding would bring troops and horses to kill me. I didn't quite believe it, so I came down to take a look. I didn't expect it was really you!"
She went over to help the sixth prince up and said, "Tell me, how embarrassing it is for you to bring so many people here to give me money and equipment!"
"You are really just as careful and considerate as you were many years ago, always sacrificing yourself and thinking about others."
Sixth Prince: "..."
It was the first time that he was praised like this, and he was so embarrassed that he felt ashamed.
Tang Miaoxin knew how good the equipment of this army was, and he had been very coveted before.
Zhang Zhiyan, who leads this army, is a veteran general with very good fighting skills. She did not dare to provoke him before.
If Zhang Zhiyan was in command today and he made corresponding arrangements when they came over, it would not be that easy for them to capture the king today.
She was actually a little worried when she led the bandits down the mountain today.
Unexpectedly, the sixth prince, an idiot, actually drove Zhang Zhiyan out of the commander's tent. It was a divine assist!
So Tang Miaoxin now looked at the Sixth Prince and felt that he liked everything about him.
If this guy hadn't wanted to kill her, she would have suspected that this guy was her undercover agent in Dingzhou!
Otherwise, how could it be so awesome!
The sixth prince's face was very ugly. He still knew Tang Miaoxin's temperament. If he fell into her hands today, he was afraid that he would be doomed!
He turned to look at Ning Guzhou: "Seventh brother, we are brothers..."
Before he finished speaking, Ning Guzhou raised his hand and punched him, causing him to shrink into a ball in pain.
Ning Guzhou said expressionlessly: "When you brought the troops to kill me, why didn't you think that we were brothers?"
Sixth Prince: "..."
Tang Miaoxin glared at Ning Guzhou: "How can you be so rude and hit people at every turn!"
The Sixth Prince felt happy, thinking that things would turn around.
Unexpectedly, Tang Miaoxin's next sentence was: "If you want to beat him, you have to wait until he is disobedient. Only then will it be justified!"
Ning Guzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and twitched the corners of his mouth: "What you said makes sense."
Tang Miaoxin smiled and said to the Sixth Prince: "Come, come, tell me, how much money is there in Dingzhou's treasury?"
"Do you still have a private treasury? How much money is there in the private treasury? Where is it placed?"
Sixth Prince: "..."
This war came and went quickly.
After Zhang Zhiyan's soldiers and horses were killed in Dingzhou and the sixth prince was captured alive, the whole situation was a crushing defeat.
In just one night's effort, the elite troops that Emperor Cheng Ming had placed high hopes on to resist the return of Qian were completely defeated by the Sixth Prince because of his own selfishness.
The smoothness of this matter made Tang Miaoxin feel a little incredible!
How could Dingzhou's 50,000 troops be defeated in her hands like this?
