Chapter 480
"My lord, please spare me, it's not that the last general is incompetent, it's because the imperial army is too powerful!"

Now being pointed at by King Ning with a knife, Yang Qing, who didn't care too much, couldn't help saying to King Ning.

King Ning's eyes fell on Yang Qing in a flash, and he gritted his teeth with a gloomy expression: "You said that the imperial army is too powerful, but the lonely king gave you a full 10 army. Could it be said that [-] horses are even one Can't you stop the day?"

Obviously, in King Ning's view, no matter how elite the court's soldiers and horses are, Yang Qing and Wang Lun's [-] troops could not stop them for even a day. There is no excuse for this.

While speaking, King Ning slashed the long knife in his hand towards Yang Qing fiercely and said, "What use does the lonely king want you for!"

Accompanied by a scream, King Ning hit Yang Qing's shoulder with a knife, and directly chopped Yang Qing to the ground. Yang Qing, who was seriously injured, obviously did not expect that King Ning would really cut him with a knife, and rolled over while screaming. The crawler tried to distance himself from King Ning.

However, King Ning stepped forward and slashed out again. This time, Yang Qing was directly slashed and killed by King Ning.

Everyone was stunned, including Wang Jia, Li Shishi and others, all of whom were shocked. No one thought that King Ning would kill Yang Qing in public, and in front of so many people. Hands-on face-to-face.

At this moment, Wang Lun was so frightened that he kowtowed to King Ning again and again, ""My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life...

Staring at Wang Lun, King Ning took a deep breath and said, "Tell Gu Wang clearly what happened!"

Now Wang Lun didn't dare to conceal the slightest thing at all, and told the story of the army's defeat in every detail.

Of course, Wang Lun did not forget to mention how strong the imperial army was in the process of telling the story, and they had already tried their best to resist it.

After listening to Wang Lun's words, although King Ning could somewhat guess that some of what Wang Lun said might not be true, there should be no problem in general.

But also because of this, King Ning's expression turned ugly and he said: "In my opinion, when will the army led by that traitor Li Huan be able to kill it?"

All eyes fell on Wang Lun.

Naturally, what everyone is most concerned about at the moment is when the imperial army will arrive, so they should be prepared, otherwise, if they are caught off guard, there will be Nanjing City blocking the way, and the imperial army behind them. Aren't they doomed to escape?

Wang Lun hesitated for a moment, looked at the sky, thought for a while, and then said: "If there are no accidents, the troops under Li Huan should be busy gathering the defeated army and cleaning the battlefield right now, and the sky is dark now, unless It's Li Huan and the others who want to march late at night..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Marching at night in this era is not an easy task. After all, looking at this era, nine out of ten soldiers in the army suffer from night blindness, and traveling at night is like a blind man traveling.

If there are only a 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 Yan stroked his beard and said to King Ning: "My lord, what General Wang said is not unreasonable. I think it will take at least tomorrow for the imperial army to arrive. We still have time to prepare."

King Ning nodded slightly, looked at Wang Jia and the others and said slowly: "Everyone, at this moment, what should we do?"

Li Huan's army is behind, and it may come at any time. According to what Wang Lun said, King Ning made a guess. Although there are more than [-] troops under his command, he can't guarantee that it is Li Huan's army. opponent.

At this time, there must be a way to deal with it, otherwise, once Li Huan leads the imperial army to kill him, it will be too late.

Li Shishi, Liu Yangzheng, Wang Jia and others looked at me, I looked at you, and saw Liu Yangzheng stepped forward and said to King Ning: "Your Majesty, I think that we will give up attacking Nanjing City immediately and lead the army back to Nanchang Mansion... "

Before Liu Yangzheng finished speaking, Li Shishi said loudly: "My lord, you can't, Liu Yangzheng's words are really a theory that harms the country. No matter what, you can't return to Nanchang Mansion, otherwise we will only have a dead end!"

Just looking at Li Shishi's excited appearance, he knew how much Li Shishi's mood was stimulated at this moment.

Not to mention Li Shishi, even Wang Jia was taken aback by Liu Yangzheng's words.

No one thought that Liu Yangzheng would suggest that King Ning return to Nanchang Mansion, so when Li Shishi jumped out to object, Wang Jia couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, you must not return to Nanchang Mansion."

To be honest, for a moment, after hearing Liu Yangzheng's proposal, King Ning really had the idea of ​​returning to Nanchang Mansion.

You must know that King Ning has been living in Nanchang Mansion since he was born. It can be said that he rarely left Nanchang Mansion in his life. This also caused King Ning's subconscious mind that Nanchang Mansion would naturally bring him a sense of security.

In this crisis-ridden moment, King Ning instinctively wanted to find a place that could bring him a sense of security, so Nanchang Mansion was naturally his first choice.

But at this moment, Li Shishi and Wang Jia were all against it, which also made Ning Wang clearly know 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 the city of Nanjing. Although he is blocked under the city of Nanjing now, it can be regarded as a huge momentum, sweeping half of the south of the Yangtze River, attracting countless tyrants and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. congenial.

If it wasn't for the fact that he fought all the way from Nanchang Mansion to the city of Nanjing, causing huge waves, it would be absolutely impossible to attract so many people to join him.

If he really chooses to return to Nanchang Mansion at this time, the impact will definitely be great, and I am afraid that many people will feel disappointed with King Ning from now on.

After all, once King Ning returned to Nanchang Mansion, he might not have that chance if he wanted to fight again.

It can be said that Nanchang Mansion is a desperate place. For King 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, looking at Li Shishi with a look of hope in his eyes, and said, "In my opinion, where should the lonely king go?"

Li Shishi couldn't help being slightly taken aback, to be honest, he really didn't have any good suggestions for a while.

After all, looking around, apart from Nanjing City being the best choice, there really isn't much room for choice in the rest of the land.

At least for King Ning, if he doesn't have the aura of domineering, it is naturally not suitable.

With a wry smile on his face, Li Shishi slightly shook his head at King Ning and said, "I don't know where I'm going right now, so please think about it."

King Ning nodded, turned his gaze to Wang Jia and the others, and said, "What about you guys, do you have any suggestions?"

Wang Jia frowned and said: "If I go to Hangzhou Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion is connected to the Grand Canal, and it 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 said something 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.

If there are too many people, there will naturally be more suggestions. It can be said that there are all kinds of suggestions. Most of these people don't have a big picture view. After all, most of them are short-sighted and have only a small area of ​​vision, or they only guard their family. They expect these people to give King Ning some constructive suggestions. It can only be said that King Ning really found the wrong person.

In the end, even King Ning himself couldn't stand it anymore, waved his hand, and brought Wang Jia, Liu Yangzheng, Li Shishi and other confidantes into the commander's tent.

After several people were seated, King Ning sent an order to recall Yang Dai and suspend the attack on Nanjing City.

While King Ning and others were discussing how to deal with the current crisis, Li Huan, who was judged by Wang Lun that he would not be able to reach the city of Nanjing until at least tomorrow, was leading an army to kill Nanjing City.

In addition to leaving some soldiers and horses to guard the rout of the rebels, tens of thousands of troops rushed towards Nanjing City without stopping.

Under normal circumstances, soldiers suffering from night blindness are not suitable for traveling at night at all, but the army brought by Li Huan this time is all elite, and the number of soldiers suffering from night blindness is not too many. The night march of the army created convenient conditions.

If the distance of tens of miles is placed during the day, it will take about half a day, but if it is placed at night, it will take at least half of the night.

Except for the torches lit by the soldiers leading the way, the number of torches lit by the tens of thousands of troops was extremely limited. It wasn't that Li Huan didn't want to, it was just that Li Huan didn't allow it.

If tens of thousands of people are lighting torches, to be honest, the scene is too spectacular, and people may be able to notice it even if they are separated by more than ten miles.

Li Huan was originally planning to attack King Ning's rebel camp at night, trying to completely put down the rebellion of King Ning at the lowest cost.

If King Ning's army is prepared, there will inevitably be a big battle at that time. Although Li Huan has enough confidence in the army he brought, after a chaotic battle, it is unknown how many soldiers will be killed or injured.

Since it is destined to be a victory without suspense, Li Huan naturally does not want too many casualties among his soldiers, so Li Huan Ning King travels slower at night, and he should try not to disturb King Ning's army as much as possible, so that King Ning's troops will The rebels are ready.

In the night, looking from a distance, you can see the bonfire in the distance.

Li Huan looked at the silhouette of King Ning's rebel camp, and couldn't help but smile.

It has to be said that Wang Lun's judgment seriously affected Ning Wang and the others, and they didn't send out any sentries to guard against night attack.

After all, in the subconscious minds of King Ning and others, it was impossible for Li Huan to lead the army to make a sudden night attack, so other than ordering the soldiers guarding the camp to be more vigilant, they did not take other precautions.

When Li Huan led the army quietly approached Lixu outside the rebel camp, the rebels still knew nothing about it.

Zhang Huai, who was following Li Huan, looked in the direction of the rebel army camp, and couldn't help but smile a little and said: "The rebel army is the rebel army, it's true to say that they are a bunch of mobs, they don't even have a little defense No, I really don’t know how they can rest assured, are they really not afraid of us attacking them overnight?”

Xu Ying smiled lightly when she heard the words: "Maybe they really never thought that we would travel overnight!"

All the generals couldn't help laughing in a low voice.

Li Huan coughed lightly, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone obey orders!"

Immediately, everyone's spirits were shaken. Anyone who wasn't a fool knew that Li Huan's order was the time when they led the army into the rebel camp.

Then Li Huan said: "Everyone, it is today that you have made great achievements. Today is a battle. I hope that you will join me in defeating the rebels."

While speaking, Li Huan stared at the rebel camp in the distance in the night, pointed the spear forward and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy, make meritorious deeds, and the time has come to seal your wife's shadow!"

"kill!"

In an instant, nearly ten thousand war horses began to run gradually under the driving of their respective masters, and the speed became faster and faster.

The distance was less than Li Xu, when the speed of tens of thousands of cavalry gradually increased, the earthquake had already spread in all directions.

In the big camp, King Ning and the others didn't feel sleepy at all. A dozen figures were gathering in the tent, discussing how to deal with the current situation.

Yang Dai, Wang Lun, Wang Jia, Li Shishi and others sat there with sad faces, apparently they didn't come up with a solution that would satisfy everyone.

Suddenly, the ground trembled slightly, King Ning and the others were stunned for a moment when they noticed the movement, and then reacted, their complexions became extremely ugly.

"Cavalry, a large number of cavalry, it is Li Huan who is here, it must be Li Huan and the others!"

The first person to react was Wang Lun, who had experienced the scene of tens of thousands of cavalry charging.

It was not the first time Wang Lun felt the galloping horses and the earth shaking, so when he noticed the familiar movement, he made a judgment almost without thinking.

Several generals including Yang Dai also changed their colors, and Yang Dai even said to King Ning: "My lord, there is such a big commotion, I am afraid that there will be no less than ten thousand cavalry, except for the imperial army led by Li Huan, there is no one else. .”

King Ning got up suddenly, stared at Wang Lun who was looking incredible and gritted his teeth: "Wang Lun, is this what you said that Li Huan's troops will never march at night? Come and tell this king, What happened to the soldiers and horses outside?"

Wang Lun subconsciously shook his head and said, "The general will not know, the general will not know!"

With a puff, King Ning suddenly pulled out his sword, took a step forward and pierced Wang Lun's heart fiercely, and said coldly under Wang Lun's disbelieving gaze: "Wang Lun misled me, the great cause of a lonely king! All destroyed in your hands!"

As Wang Lun's body fell to the ground, King Ning held a long sword dripping with blood, looked at the crowd with red eyes, and said, "What should I do, what should I do, you guys should quickly find a way!"
