Defying the sky

Chapter 117 The Battle of Jialan
At night, in a room in the imperial city, the emperor paced back and forth in the hall, still unable to feel at ease. The assassination failed. An urgent report came from the south that the army in Xiaoyao King's territory was about to move. At this moment, how should I respond.

The emperor is not worried about Xiaoyao Wang's millions of troops alone. The conspiring Xiaoyao King is like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out. He believes that as long as he announces his conspiracy to the world, the number of millions of troops who can follow him to rebel will definitely not More than half, rebellion is not a joke, you can go home and rest after you finish it, if this thing succeeds, you will not necessarily get promoted and get rich, but if it fails, you will be ransacked by everyone. Facing a powerful empire, who wants to do this thing!

Even if you rebelled out of helplessness in the army, as long as you fight a beautiful victory and promise that the rebellious army will be destroyed without attack, but what the emperor is really worried about is the Dream Building. Even the emperor of the empire dares to assassinate them. And if they succeed, then if they specifically assassinate the commander in chief of the army, this battle will be impossible to fight, and the morale of the enemy will definitely win.

Once the five masters of skill are gone and never return, there is only one master of skill left by his side, so who else can he send to protect the commander in chief.

After a long time, the emperor stopped, looked at Feng Yang, Bing Yuanshan, and Ao Yang in front of him, and solemnly said: "I have decided, Yu...drive...pro...conquer!"

The few people in front of them were stunned at the same time, and they almost said at the same time: "No!"

"I am willing to lead the troops to go out to fight for His Majesty!" Bingyuanshan answered first. As the king of the empire with a different surname, Bingyuanshan is good at fighting. As long as he goes out to fight the friction and restlessness on the border of the empire, he will surely succeed immediately. become.

The emperor shook his head: "No, the people in Mengmenglou are not so easy to get along with. If I recruit myself, I can ask Feng Lao to protect me, and my safety will be guaranteed."

Everyone knew that the emperor was telling the truth, but they really didn't want the emperor to take the risk, but Feng Yang had to protect the emperor, so if they led troops, Dream Tower would have a great possibility to assassinate them, and success.

Several people tried to dissuade them repeatedly, and several people in the hall argued with each other, but they couldn't come up with a perfect solution.

"Who?" Feng Yang suddenly said loudly, startling the others, several daggers flew towards this side, Feng Yang stepped forward and clamped the dagger in his hands, seeing the shape of the dagger There was a piece of paper on the handle, and he handed it to the emperor, and he flitted out like lightning.

Feng Yang rushed out of the hall to see, except for two rows of soldiers, there were no figures around him, he frowned slightly, and Feng Yang returned to the hall, only to see that the emperor had a smile in his eyes, and his eyebrows stretched a lot.

"Feng Lao, take a look." Seeing Feng Yang's confusion, the emperor passed the note over. Feng Yang took a look and saw that it read: "Dream Building has decided to withdraw from the battle between His Majesty and King Xiaoyao. !"

"Will there be fraud?" Feng Yang asked suspiciously.

But the emperor smiled and shook his head and said, "No."

"Why is Your Majesty so confident?" Bing Yuanshan was also suspicious.

"Think about it, since they can appear outside the hall like a ghost, and then retreat quietly, if they want to take my head, I believe it won't be too difficult."

Several people nodded.

The emperor continued: "Since they don't want my life, they must really want to withdraw from the struggle between the two parties. They have already conspired, and it is impossible to hide behind the scenes. Even if King Xiaoyao succeeds in usurping the throne, we will definitely tell the matter there, then At that time, Dream House also couldn't gain a foothold in the Blazing Empire. So, it's better to sell us a favor, and both sides can talk. I didn't expect that I would be confused. I didn't expect such a simple reason. But, from another perspective, we I also know the horror of the Dream Building, and it is so easy to enter and leave the imperial city, I really can't believe that there will be no internal response from them in the imperial city, so I must investigate thoroughly at this time."

Several people looked at the emperor with admiration, and nodded with a relaxed expression. Now that the Dream Building has withdrawn, there is no suspense in the battle.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to war again." Bing Yuanshan said again.

The emperor nodded and said: "Brother Yi, I will trouble you again this time." After speaking, he smiled slightly, and looked at Ao Yang and Ao Yunxing with deep meaning.

The two Aoyang brothers came to their senses immediately, knowing that the emperor was giving them a chance to test them with a battle, so they asked for a fight almost at the same time.

The emperor nodded in satisfaction: "This time, Yuanshan will be the commander in chief. Ao Yang, you will be the left vanguard, and Yunxing will be the right vanguard. Tomorrow morning, an edict will be issued when the troops are deployed."

The next day, news came out that King Xiaoyao rebelled overnight in the southwest, euphemistically calling it a treacherous minister in power. King Xiaoyao was loyal and did everything for the country and the people, but the eldest son of King Xiaoyao was murdered by traitors (Ao Xiaoyun is not dead yet), therefore, King Xiaoyao decided to march all the soldiers from the whole territory to the imperial capital, King Qin. On that night, he marched all the way northward, conquering the five major provinces in one night, and the whole country was shocked.

Because King Xiaoyao is guarding the southwestern border, many chaotic countries there are fighting endlessly, and even many armies often harass the border of the empire, so King Xiaoyao has millions of soldiers in his hands, and more than forty provinces around him are all under his control. .

Han Fengxue found out that he was the source of all the incidents, so he couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that Ao Xiaoyun would cause such a big earthquake. At the same time, there was a little heartache in his heart. The one who suffered the most from the war was undoubtedly The people of the empire, together with such a huge battle, the disaster caused must be unimaginable.

Outside the imperial capital, there are thousands of miles of fertile land, and the mighty army is lined up in long lines, and the world is full of chills.Pointing to the platform, Bingyuan Mountain stood at the forefront, Ao Yang and Ao Yunxing stood on his left and right sides, the three looked solemn, watching the 150 million troops dispatched from the imperial capital, Ao Yang and Ao Yun who had never participated in a war Seeing such a huge and mighty army, Xing's heart was full of enthusiasm. The blood of the emperor must have the genes of a good war fighter.

Ao Yang and Ao Yunxing served as the left and right vanguards respectively, leading 30 soldiers respectively. In order to make up for the shortcomings of their combat experience, their assistants were veterans who had experienced many battles.

After some impassioned and impassioned swearing-in speeches, Bingyuan Mountain swung his long sword and pointed it straight to the southwest.

The army set off mightily, but the imperial capital was immersed in weeping and mourning. The life and death of the soldiers heading to the front line was uncertain, and the parents, wives and children left behind could not cry silently.

In the imperial city, urgent orders of eight hundred miles were sent out one after another. The army had already moved ahead before the food and grass were fully prepared. An urgent edict, prepare food and grass, and supply the passing troops, because the southwest has always been the most fertile area of ​​the empire, so the speed of mobilization must be quite fast.

The Xiaoyao King naturally also knew the news, and sent [-] vanguard cavalry of one color to rush thousands of miles to the west, attacking the city all the way, and because of the wealth in the southwest, the local army had never experienced real battles, and they were used to being pampered. The opponent, therefore, Xiaoyao Wang won consecutive battles, while the empire lost cities and lands all the way.

Jialan City, the largest barrier to the imperial capital, and the most stable city in the southwest, extending in all directions, is a military center and has always been a battleground for military strategists.

Because of the urgency, Bingyuanshan ordered Aoyang and Aoyunxing to divide into two groups and rush to Jialan City urgently, and they had to arrive in front of Xiaoyao Wang's army.

Ao Yang ran all the way, while the front line kept sending the latest movements of the enemy. The opponent's 15 vanguard cavalry was getting closer and closer to Jialan. Ao Yang had no choice but to leave [-] infantry behind and let them join the rear troops. And he led the cavalry to Jialan overnight.

Inside Aoyun Xingzhang, deputy general Gu Pa said: "His Royal Highness, there is another news from the front line now, Xiaoyao Wang's vanguard cavalry is still two days away from Jialan, Prince Aoyang has commanded 15 cavalry to go first, I suggest that we can also take In the same way, the cavalry go first, and if they travel overnight, it will take about two days to walk, so that they can join forces with His Royal Highness's army and fight together."

Ao Yunxing listened quietly, after listening to Gu Pa's words, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Since the eldest brother has already gone ahead, he will definitely be able to arrive before the enemy army, and guard Jialan by then, and we will lead 30 soldiers Wouldn't it be better to arrive later, surround the enemy army, and support the elder brother inside and outside?"

Gupa raised his brows, and he didn't agree with Ao Yunxing's thoughts. If Ao Yang didn't arrive before the opponent, Jialan was occupied by the enemy first, and if Xiaoyao Wang had a backup to arrive, wouldn't it be If you want to attack Ao Yang back and forth, you will be in danger, and if your own troops rush there, even if Ao Yang does not take a step to strengthen the enemy, you can still retreat safely. With the wisdom of the third prince, it is impossible not to think of this, unless there is one possibility.

Thinking of the ruthlessness of the royal family, His Royal Highness used war to deal with his brothers, regardless of the overall situation, Gu Pa's heart was cold for a while, and seeing Ao Yunxing's nonchalant expression, it seemed that he didn't understand at all, which further confirmed the guess in his heart. How could he, who has experienced in the battlefield and officialdom, not understand this, but he dare not talk about such a sensitive topic, otherwise, no matter whether he has a reason or not, if he sues the emperor Lao Tzu, he must be the one who died.

Gupa didn't say anything, and quietly retreated to the side, watching Ao Yunxing look at the map with concern, but there was a huge wave in his heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

In the large tent of King Xiaoyao's army, King Xiaoyao said to the messenger: "Order Cai Lun to rush to Jialan quickly, and make sure to capture the city before Aoyang arrives. In addition, the other two vanguard cavalry should spare Jialan and capture Hengsha City and Crossing the Wave City." After speaking, King Xiaoyao closed his eyes and began to meditate.
