Chapter 454: Insidious
Huang Yuanwu suddenly thought of a possibility, a possibility that could change the status quo. Without waiting for Liu Yi to dissuade him, he immediately stood up and headed straight for his war horse towards the cold arrow on the opposite mountain.
Liu Yi didn't know what Huang Yuanwu suddenly thought of. Seeing that Huang Yuanwu suddenly rushed out, he was shocked and immediately flashed out and protected Huang Yuanwu. The surrounding guards also reacted and immediately moved towards Huang Yuanwu's direction.
The enemy troops ambushed on the mountains on both sides saw the Huang Yuanwu army act, without saying a word, then took a bow and shot arrows. For a moment, the arrow rain came like autumn rain, roaring.
The guards on both sides immediately used their fighting spirit, fighting to block the bows and arrows shot from both sides, and at the same time quickly boarded the horse and surrounded Huang Yuanwu. In this process, several people were killed by arrows.
After Huang Yuanwu stepped onto the war horse, there was still a wooden wall on the road. At this moment, he was anxious and no longer had the patience to waste time with the other party. He pulled out the Eastern King's Sword, and Huang Yuanwu roared: "Yang Yan Blade!" A hot fire light swung straight from the long sword and directly slashed on the wooden wall in front of him. The wooden wall roared and fell to the ground in response.
After breaking the wooden wall, Huang Yuanwu immediately rode his horse and walked away at an extremely fast speed. The guards on both sides resisted another wave of arrows, and then immediately followed Emperor Yuanwu. Everyone quickly disappeared at the end of the road, leaving only a dozen of the corpses of the guards, and a mess.
The process was not smooth. The guards behind him rushed to catch up with Emperor Yuanwu and walked in front of him. Various traps appeared on the road from time to time. Cold arrows were shot from time to time in the mountains on both sides, making people unable to defend themselves. Huang Yuanwu's guard almost used his body to protect Emperor Yuanwu from harm until he rushed out of this jungle area. The entire guard had been killed by one quarter of the battle.
Huang Yuanwu used this life-desperate method to break out of the enemy's encirclement. It was better to say it was a trap. The enemy's ultimate goal was not to kill Huang Yuanwu, but to trap him here and delay time.
After rushing out of the jungle, the scene in the distance confirmed Huang Yuanwu's speculation.
Near the Dongwang Mansion Camp, fires surged into the sky, and the royal mansion's garrison was attacked.
Seeing this, Huang Yuanwu's eyes narrowed, and without saying a word, he rode his horse and headed straight for the direction of the Eastern Prince's Mansion.
Now, Liu Yi didn't need to ask, and he knew why Huang Yuanwu was anxious. He was afraid that he had discovered the enemy's true intentions. The attack on Huang Yuanwu was not to kill him, but to trap him, making the soldiers of the Eastern Palace think that Huang Yuanwu had been killed, so he took this time to launch a fierce attack and blame others after the meal. Killing Huang Yuanwu was too expensive, but it would be much easier to attack the Dong Wangwu's headquarters.
Once the Dongwang Mansion camp falls into chaos, it will directly affect Huang Yuanwu's overall plan. If the troops attacking the Wangwang Mansion camp at this time are all wearing the military uniforms of the Beiwang Mansion, even if Huang Yuanwu returns to the camp, it will be useless. The superficial peace between the Dongwang Mansion and the Beiwang Mansion will be gone.
As he walked along the way, Huang Yuanwu rushed to the near Daying of the East Prince's Mansion as soon as possible.
In front, the fire surged into the sky, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the sky.
Huang Yuanwu's eyes were cold, and he pulled out the Dongwang Sword, without saying a word, and rode his horse straight into the enemy camp.
Now the East Prince's Mansion is facing an enemy army, which is arranged in neat formations, constantly advancing like the camp of the East Prince's Mansion. Looking at the fire in front, the outermost wall has been broken.
Huang Yuanwu entered the enemy camp, and the guards on both sides immediately followed, without a glance, pulled out a long sword expressionlessly, and wanted to kill the surrounding enemy troops.
The advancing enemy obviously did not expect an enemy to appear behind him. Huang Yuanwu took the lead and rushed in the front. Dongwang Jian wrapped his light red fighting spirit, like a death
The Death Scythe quickly harvested the lives of the enemy. Huang Yuanwu was like he entered a state of no one, his speed remained unabated, and no one was his enemy wherever he passed.
Huang Yuanwu led a guard team with more than 100 people left to break into the enemy camp. Although there were not many people, his lethality was absolutely strong enough, which obviously disrupted the enemy's deployment. The enemy's phalanx immediately fell into chaos.
At this moment, the guard general Ding Jiang was standing on the corner tower and commanding the soldiers to defend. Although he was attacked by a sneak attack, he was not panicked. When Huang Yuanwu left, Ding Jiang was ready to be attacked by a sneak attack. Although the Eastern Prince's Camp was simple, it was better because the soldiers had strong combat effectiveness. Although the opponent dispatched tens of thousands of people, it did not cause any substantial damage to the Eastern Prince's Camp.
Ding Jiang was observing the situation on the battlefield when he suddenly saw a team of people entering the enemy camp. The fighting spirit shone everywhere and rushed into the core of the enemy. He was immediately shocked and hurriedly ordered the reserve team to be dispatched, rushed out of the flank, and went to meet him.
He knew without asking, that was Huang Yuanwu's guard team. At this moment, the enemy troops who came to sneak attack the Dongwang Mansion Camp had obviously reached a higher level of combat capability, with orderly offensive and defense. In addition, he suddenly attacked, otherwise he would not have broken through the outer wall of the Dongwang Mansion Camp. Ding Jiang was confident that he would have wiped out these enemy troops, but when he saw Huang Yuanwu's men come back, he had to rescue him immediately.
At this moment, Huang Yuanwu was already red in his eyes.
What he hated the most was being plotted against. Today, as soon as he arrived in the imperial capital, someone had been plotting against him. He had already begun planning since he left the camp, and even before he arrived at the imperial capital. If he hadn't reacted to the attack on the Eastern Prince's Camp, once Ding Jiang won the victory, he would have sent troops to Shuinan City immediately, because these enemy troops, unexpectedly, were all wearing the standard armor of the Northern Prince's Palace, fighting bravely, and were not the kind of vulnerable troops they had encountered before.
If he had been trapped in the jungle and Ding Jiang led the army to come, he would have encountered ambushing left and right. Although Huang Yuanwu's guards were not injured or killed, at that time, because they were all elite and had cultivation, each guard's cultivation was not inferior to that of the monks. Even so, dozens of guards were still killed in battle. If the army entered, they would be trapped and suffered heavy losses.
At that time, it was not done by the Beiwang Mansion, but also by the Beiwang Mansion.
Even if Huang Yuanwu knew the truth, he was helpless. The army suffered losses and someone had to bear the responsibility. Now the people behind the scenes were unclear, so they could only attack the Northern Palace, which would directly lead to chaos in the world.
These people are really easy to plot.
Huang Yuanwu suddenly swung his sword and slashed an enemy soldier in front of him with one sword. He clenched his steel teeth and rushed forward again.
Due to the sudden invasion of Huang Yuanwu, the deployment of the enemy and the original plan of Ding Jiang was disrupted. He arranged a large number of soldiers responsible for supporting him to immediately attack and go to pick up Huang Yuanwu. At this time of the battle, there was no suspense.
With less than 10,000 troops, the Dongwang Mansion siege attacked the camp of the Dongwang Mansion. The Dongwang Mansion stationed a hundred thousand troops here, but they could not win anyway and ended up defeating.
The enemy's remaining troops quickly retreated into the forest. Huang Yuanwu stopped the army's pursuit and returned to the camp immediately.
At this moment, the outer wall of the Eastern Palace camp had been burned to pieces. After the battle, the Eastern Palace lost thousands of people, but successfully repelled the enemy. Huang Yuanwu also returned to the camp safely, which was a victory, but no one was pleased with this victory because it was an inexplicable battle.
Huang Yuanwu's tent was now full of generals from all sides, headed by Ding Jiang, and they were all indignant.
The reason is very simple. The enemy troops who came to attack were all wearing the armor of the Northern Palace. These people were obviously arranged by the Northern Palace. On the one hand, they asked the little prince Huang Yuanwu to go to the banquet, and on the other hand,
Arranged troops to attack the Eastern Prince's Mansion camp, which made all the generals very angry.
But Huang Yuanwu is very glad that he made the right choice at a critical moment. If this matter is delayed for another hour, the result will be different.
"Don't be impatient." Faced with the indignant general in the tent, Huang Yuanwu did not say anything, but Liu Yi stood up first and said to everyone: "It doesn't look like it, don't make a noise, listen to what the little prince said."
Liu Yi's shouting calmed down the tent, and all the generals looked at Huang Yuanwu and waited for him to speak.
Huang Yuanwu breathed a sigh of relief, took off his helmet, gently wiped the blood on his face, and then said softly: "On the way back, we encountered an attack, and my guard team lost dozens of people."
"Damn Emperor Zhengchu!" A general was furious when he heard this and stood up and said, "Little Prince, please give the order. Our Eastern Prince's Mansion is not afraid of Emperor Zhengchu. Since he takes action first, we can't blame us!"
"Yes! Please give the order to the little prince that my soldiers in the Eastern Prince's Mansion will surely step onto the Northern Prince's Mansion!"
As soon as this voice came out, the generals responded immediately. On the way to the imperial capital, they knew that there was inevitably a fierce battle between the Eastern Palace and the Northern Palace. All the signs now indicate that the Northern Palace has attacked the Eastern Palace. How could these generals who have been fighting on the battlefield bear such anger?
The call for battle was endless, but Huang Yuanwu did not say a word to stop him. Instead, he held his cheek with one hand and quietly looked at the generals in front of him, but sighed secretly in his heart.
When it comes to fighting on the battlefield and galloping thousands of miles, all the generals in the tent can be competent, but when it comes to conspiracy and intrigues, power plots, these generals who have been on the battlefield for many years have no advantage. Now, Huang Yuanwu misses Ye Guan and Ning Yi very much. If these two people are there, even if the enemy uses any strategy, it will be useless.
Unfortunately... it is unknown whether we can see these two people again in the future.
Huang Yuanwu didn't say anything, and looked at everyone present quietly. After a while of enthusiasm, the tent slowly became quiet. All the generals discovered Huang Yuanwu's emotions, and no one spoke to ask for a fight.
"Things don't seem so simple." After the tent was quiet, Huang Yuanwu whispered: "The one who attacked us today is not the Northern Palace, but someone else. If we send troops to the Northern Palace at this moment, we will be trapped by others. This will directly lead to civil unrest in the empire and wars everywhere. Who can you bear such a crime?"
The generals were silent when they heard Huang Yuanwu's words, and they didn't think so much. But it was not their fault. In the previous conquests, the army was generally led by the King of the East, and most of the time the orders were Ning Yi. Ning Yi was a man with great intelligence and was deeply involved in Ye Guan's true teachings. The generals only needed to send troops according to his arrangements, and everything went wrong. Such a system made the army of the Dongwang Mansion extremely strong and had a strong execution ability, but it also led to a consequence. The generals were used to such a system, and they rarely involved in general strategy.
Now that the Eastern King died in battle, Ning Yi and Ye Guan were gone, all the matter was immediately pressed on Huang Yuanwu. After all, the Eastern King Mansion was just a royal mansion, not a court, and there were not so many civil thought tanks. At this time, Huang Yuanwu felt very difficult.
"Let's go, repair the camp and wait for the order." Huang Yuanwu waved his hand gently and said, "Calculate the list of fallen soldiers and send someone to send back the pension."
The generals looked at each other, but still saluted and slowly retreated.
In the big tent, only Huang Yuanwu, Ding Jiang and Liu Yi were left.
