Chapter 498: Little Fatty, How is Your Master Lately?
Emperor Yangsheng and Queen Chu were extremely anxious in the palace.
If the clay pot thunder cannot be borrowed, and the eldest prince breaks into the capital, the palace may not be able to be defended for even three days.
"Give him the position of crown prince and keep him stable first!" Emperor Yang Sheng made up his mind. The position of crown prince, which had been vacant for more than ten years, was given out today.
Chu Hanhua pinched her palms with her fingers until they were broken, and said with red eyes: "No, I absolutely disagree."
"What if we give it to him? He has to survive to take it! Today is the ninth day of the first lunar month. Even if he takes down Wuzhong Prefecture, there is still the invincible army of Chu waiting for him.
As long as we delay until the 15th, the 16th of every month is the day when his body is at its weakest, and we can take advantage of this opportunity to kill him."
Emperor Yang Sheng gnashed his teeth and said, "He is not qualified to seize my throne!"
The guard suddenly came to report excitedly: "Your Majesty, Ling Xiang and Duke Wei of Yulong State are leading an envoy to Daxia to help Your Majesty repel the enemy."
Emperor Yangsheng was ecstatic.
Chu Hanhua was also very happy and said, "It must be my sister who told the King of Huainan, and the King of Huainan went to ask Emperor An for help."
Emperor Yang Sheng said happily: "Quick, prepare your carriage. I want to personally welcome Prime Minister Ling."
Just as he was ordering his men to prepare the imperial carriage and to go a hundred miles to meet him, suddenly the city gate guard came riding in with a bloody head, jumped off his horse in front of the palace gate, and staggered and crawled into the palace to report.
"Your Majesty, it's bad, it's bad, Huo Dao is leading the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to attack the Imperial City!"
Emperor Yang Sheng took a step back as he was about to leave and asked hurriedly, "Where are they now?"
"At the city gate." The man said anxiously, "Your Majesty, they, they are not human beings..."
It’s so scary that those people can actually climb with their bare hands and have incredible strength. They seem to be fearless of death and feel no pain. They just keep moving forward.
"How's the city gate? Is it still there?"
"The city gate was not broken, but they could climb the wall with bare hands! Many people were killed at the city gate, no, they were torn to pieces alive..."
The young officer at the city gate came to report. He had never seen such a brutal massacre, people were torn apart directly! !
too frightening.
Emperor Yang Sheng immediately mobilized archers and shouted, "Shoot them with rockets and burn them to death!"
Chu Hanhua saw this and frowned as he asked the young general, "How many Tiger and Leopard Cavalry have come?"
"A thousand people." The young general said with a sad face, "We can't stop them. They are not afraid of death."
Chu Hanhua roared in disgrace: "What a waste! Can't you stop a thousand people?"
Chu Hanhua had heard of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but no matter how powerful they were, they only had a thousand men. You have to know that in order to protect the imperial palace, Emperor Yang Sheng mobilized an army of 100,000 to guard it.
One hundred thousand people can't stop a thousand people?
Emperor Yang Sheng said impatiently: "You don't know how powerful the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are... Otherwise, why did I and Prime Minister Chu keep that evil boy around for so many years? We just wanted to take the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry over."
But Wei Mu refused to reveal the whereabouts of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry until his death. They had been searching for them for more than ten years but still couldn't find them.
They kept an eye on Xiao Jinan, but Xiao Jinan became dumber every year, and no Tiger and Leopard Cavalry ever contacted him.
Emperor Yang Sheng also asked people to quickly check where Ling Xiang was. If he came to the capital, he would immediately ask them to eliminate the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry first.
Their weapons cannot kill those people, but the Yulong Kingdom’s thunder will definitely kill them.
Emperor Yangsheng's confidants received dozens of people from the Ling Xun and Gu Chongjin delegation more than a hundred miles outside Xingqing Prefecture.
Ling Xun suggested going directly to the Lingzhou battlefield.
They must first observe what the Xixia prince's earthen jar thunder looks like.
However, before he arrived at Wuzhong Mansion, the imperial guards of Emperor Yangsheng came running over and said anxiously: "The rebels are attacking the capital. The imperial city is in danger. I beg the Prime Minister of Yulong State and the Duke of Weiguo to save your majesty first."
Ling Xun asked him to tell him the specific military situation.
The imperial guard said: "The eldest prince has rebelled, and the Liao Dynasty is also ready to make a move. Now the eldest prince's army is fighting with the imperial army in Lingzhou, and a thousand elite tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers have been sent to attack the imperial city."
"With only a thousand men, His Majesty Emperor Yang Sheng can't defeat them? Isn't there any garrison in the capital?"
"Yes, but the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is too powerful and the defenders cannot defeat them."
The imperial guards told Ling Xun and Gu Chongjin about the brutality of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
Ling Xun was shocked: "It is said that Xixia used witchcraft to drive out puppets and fight. Is it true?"
The imperial guard put eye drops on Yin Jin and said, "His Royal Highness the First Prince is good at using witchcraft. His mother's clan is the Tianshan Spirit Clan, and they are best at using medicine to make poison."
Ling Xun is well-read and doesn't know much about Gu, but he knows that it is a secret method of expelling insects used by some remote ethnic groups and it is very difficult to deal with.
"Prime Minister Ling, my Majesty is in danger. I beg you to kill the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that are approaching the imperial city first and rescue my Majesty." The imperial guards knelt down and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty Emperor Yang Sheng should negotiate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry will never disobey the orders of their master."
Ling Xun felt that only by reaching an agreement with the eldest prince could the problem be fundamentally resolved.
The imperial guard said, "But the thousand men are already attacking the city. Your Majesty wants to resolve the issue first and then negotiate."
Ling Xun and his party went to the capital city - Xingqing Prefecture.
It was two hours later when they arrived at Xingqing Prefecture. Huo Dao and Xue Jingfei were still attacking the city with a thousand men. Huo Dao was a little anxious and blew the bamboo flute over and over again.
The bamboo flute was specially made. When it was blown, all the Tiger and Leopard Riders, no matter their height, would turn into tigers and rush down the mountain, killing without fear of death or pain.
The sword broke and was torn apart with bare hands.
However, there were only a thousand of them.
Huo Dao had only heard from Xue Jingfei that His Highness could repel an enemy force of 100,000 by himself. He thought that even if the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's killing power was not as good as His Highness's, it should not be a problem for a thousand men to capture the capital.
Looking at it now, it’s ridiculous.
In a round-robin battle, no matter how powerful the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is, they will eventually die of exhaustion. With one thousand men against one hundred thousand, Huo Dao was still too arrogant.
Xue Jingfei regretted it extremely, but there was no way back.
Ling Xun and Gu Chongjin and his party were outside the city gate, and from afar they saw countless people surrounding a small group and fighting.
Very tragic.
Even if he was carrying iron mines, and even if he was doing it under the guise of helping Emperor Yang Sheng, Ling Xun was not a fool and would never let the members of the delegation take real risks.
He asked the imperial guards to call the commander of the imperial city garrison and tell him to disperse immediately and run as far as possible.
Then, he asked some of their strong men to throw bombs at Huo Dao and other Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
When the first bomb was fired, more than two hundred of the one thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were injured on the spot, and several Western Xia defenders who did not run far were also killed.
The second bomb injured hundreds of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry members, and Huo Dao knew something was wrong.
No matter how powerful the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are, their flesh and blood bodies have no chance of winning against the iron thunder.
Moreover, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were killed in pieces, with no possibility of recovering from their injuries and returning to battle.
He didn't know why Emperor Yang Sheng also had such a powerful heavenly thunder in his hand.
Since there was thunder in the sky, why did they use it only now? Why didn't they stop the Uighurs or their master?
He looked in the direction of the mine and saw the leader of the Xixia defenders holding an iron mine in his hand.
He immediately blew the flute and drove the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to attack Ling Xun and his men.
No matter how fast they were, they could not be faster than the iron mines thrown at them.
Huo Dao watched Xue Jingfei being blown to death.
Huo Dao was also seriously injured.
The driving flute finally stopped, and all the 1,000 Tiger and Leopard Riders were captured and killed. Ling Xun stopped them from killing Huo Dao and tied him up.
The imperial city was out of trouble, and Emperor Yang Sheng came out of the city, holding Ling Xun's hand and entering the city.
Gu Chongjin was unwilling to exchange pleasantries and told Ling Xun and Emperor Yang Sheng to go to Lingzhou to see what the eldest prince's thunder looked like.
Emperor Yang Sheng was eager for him to go there quickly and kill the rebellious son in Lingzhou.
Gu Chongjin took Xu Li and others and went to the outside of Wuzhong Mansion with iron thunder, just in time to meet Yin Jinan leading his men to attack the city.
The imperial army, Chu's invincible army of 150,000 men, were watching on.
Yin Jinan rode on a horse and watched Gu Bahuang and his men blow open the city gate and fight their way in.
From Ganzhou to Lingzhou, the soldiers' weapons were replaced several times. After winning a battle, they would take the enemy's good weapons to replace them.
Jiu Tian was still sitting on his chest, and the uncle and nephew watched Gu Bahuang leading his troops in battle.
Originally, he wanted to hand Jiutian over to the madman Chu Dai, but Jiutian disagreed and insisted on staying with Yin Jinan.
"Uncle, something big is happening today. I can't leave you."
Yin Jinan had no choice but to arrange for Gu Bahuang to attack the city, and he and Jiutian watched from behind.
Before breaking the city, Xiahou Yan brought more than 1,900 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, all of whom knelt on the ground to acknowledge their master and wait for orders.
Yin Jinan did not ask them to charge into the city, so they stayed by his side and served as his special guards.
The city was breached, Gu Bahuang rushed in, Jiu Tian suddenly shouted: "Second uncle, don't go in."
Yin Jinan had no intention of following in. General Gu was more than capable of killing the Uighurs, so he wanted to stay outside the city to prevent the imperial army from cutting off their retreat.
During this period, Madman Chu made a lot of poison. His rags and tangled hair were all filled with poison.
Guarding near Jiutian, Madman Chu stared at the imperial army led by Chu Bubai.
When Gu Bahuang broke into the city, it suddenly became quiet outside the gate for a moment. Jiutian and Yin Jinan discovered Gu Chongjin and his group at the same time.
Emperor Yang Sheng sent people to escort Gu Chongjin and others over. They have already met up with Chu Bubai, with flags fluttering and armors grim.
Yin Jinan saw Gu Chongjin on the war horse at a glance.
Although Gu Chongjin is almost forty years old now, Yin Jinan has worked with him for nearly three years and would recognize him even if he were burned to ashes.
Next to Gu Chongjin is Xu Li.
The little fat boy who was once timid and stubborn now looks like a powerful general.
Why are they here?
Yin Jinan was excited and pulled the reins to run towards Gu Chongjin.
When Chu Bubai saw Yin Jinan running over, he immediately shouted, "Catch this traitor."
Crazy Chu cursed, "Do you have any shame? 150,000 people can't defeat Jie Gan's 50,000 defeated soldiers, and they actually want to close the city and starve the people to death. His Highness broke the city gate to kill the foreign invaders, and you beat him? Aren't you traitors?"
While cursing, poison was used.
Seeing a large number of people falling to the ground and wailing, Chu Bubai shouted to Gu Chongjin: "Duke Weiguo, blow him up, help His Majesty blow up this traitor."
Gu Chongjin didn't move. He didn't know why, but he always felt that the person on the horse opposite him was very familiar even though he was wearing a mask.
Xu Li didn't think too much about it. He took an iron bomb, lit the fire stick, and was about to throw it over, but was stopped by Gu Chongjin: "Xu Li, don't..."
When Yin Jinan saw Gu Chongjin's actions, he was surprised and felt warm in his heart. This was the tacit understanding between partners who had worked side by side for three years.
But that stupid Xu Li really deserves a beating.
Master Yin reined in his horse, turned around, and shouted to Xu Li, "Little Fatty, how is your master these days?"
