The prince's clever plan to bring peace to the world
In the Hou Mansion, the young soldier had already returned with his men leading the war horses. Due to the great changes in the city, the imperial guards were concentrated in the imperial city and had no use for horses at all. The guards in the outer city were surprisingly lax.
In addition to getting back Youzhou's own war horses, he also cut the legs of the war horses of other guards. It is estimated that these war horses will not be able to be ridden for ten days or half a month!
At this time, the five hundred Youzhou cavalrymen in the Anguo Marquis's mansion were fully equipped and ready! They only needed Yue Lingxi's order and were ready to charge out at any time!
Liu Buqi was still checking the information fed back from various places, and Bai Qiangwei was also looking far away from a high place, and then reporting the current situation to her loudly.
The news came back as King Ning personally led his troops to appear in front of Xuanwu City!
Liu Buqi also slowly came to the lobby. The chaos in the capital had reached a critical moment, and Xuanwu Gate was the point where the final word would be decided!
Although Prince Ning seems to have an advantageous situation, he is actually in a dilemma of being surrounded if he cannot win the battle quickly!
With the personal soldiers in the palace and Zhang Xiruo's troops patrolling outside the city, Youzhou wants to take advantage of the situation by relying on these two thousand cavalrymen who are unable to attack the city and poorly defended!
We must find a way to maintain the balance of power between the Tiance Mansion and Prince Ning's forces in the capital.
In this way, two thousand cavalrymen can become a force that cannot be ignored in a battle with tens of thousands of soldiers on each side!
"Lingxi, we can send out the troops now. The first battle is to help Prince Ning break through the defenses of Tiance Mansion in front of Xuanwu Gate. We must also obtain the permit to enter and exit the city through Jianguo Gate and mobilize the cavalry from outside the city! Then return to the Hou Mansion!"
Yue Lingxi had already begun to lose his patience and shook the halberd in his hand, "I obey your command!"
He laughed loudly and led his troops out. In front of the door, the pitch-black war horses were trampling on the enemy, breathing heavily and raising their front hooves.
After leaving the mansion, he quickly arrived at Xuanwu Street. The small soldier who had left the mansion in advance to inform King Ning of the news and asked him to give up the attack route just returned!
Under the banner of Youzhou Canglang, five hundred black-armored killers swept across the spacious streets like lightning. This elite of the elite Youzhou cavalry was about to give a wake-up call to both sides fighting in front of Xuanwu Gate!
After receiving the message from Xiao Junzi, King Ning mobilized his troops to clear the way. Although Yue Lingxi completely disrupted his plan, at this time, he still knew clearly what was more important, as they would both benefit if they united and both would suffer if they separated.
What's more, the soldiers of Jingzhou are not good at riding and shooting, so it is indeed difficult for them to attack the street defenses. Although I don't know how many soldiers and horses the Marquis of Anguo has available, why not give it a try!
He was not disappointed, or rather, he was very shocked!
A small number of cavalrymen approached from afar, led by a knight wearing black armor trimmed with gold. He was holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji and a blood-red cloak was flying behind him.
While marching, he quickly placed the painted halberd on the hook on the right side of the horse's back, and took out a strong bow from the left side. With his other hand, he quickly and continuously drew feather arrows from the quiver behind him and shot them out in a flash!
The whole action was done in one go, showing superb riding and archery skills, but this was not enough to shock King Ning!
The knight didn't make any movements or give any orders, but the hundreds of cavalrymen behind him moved in unison, synchronizing their movements with him. In an instant, hundreds of them unleashed thousands of arrows in a very short time!
An overwhelming rain of arrows flew over Prince Ning's head and fell into the defense formation of Tiance Mansion. In an instant, people and horses fell to the ground in a huge area, and wailing was heard everywhere!
This cavalry team put away their bows and arrows, drew their sabers, and rushed past the Ning Wang's main camp, breaking into the enemy's formation. Yue Wuji stood there for a while before reacting and waving his hand to let his troops press forward!
Cavalry can attack, but it is difficult to wipe out the enemy in a short period of time. This still depends on the infantry following closely behind.
At this time, the garrison at the south gate of Tiance Prefecture had been penetrated by the Youzhou cavalry. This powerful garrison that had resisted the Jingzhou army, which was several times its size, for more than half an hour had suffered heavy losses!
The numerous soldiers and horses crowded on Xuanwu Street and became living targets for the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, whose horseback archery skills were unmatched in Taiyue. The vertical shields that were originally used to defend against bows and arrows were washed away by the rain of arrows before they could be raised above their heads!
This fleeting close combat deeply shocked the Tiance Mansion and the Jingzhou Army!
The blood-soaked cavalry arrow had taken off his helmet and was looking at the scattered and collapsed Tian Ce Mansion soldiers, laughing and talking loudly!
"The prince's clever plan brought peace to the world, but he lost his reputation and soldiers!" The five hundred black cavalrymen behind him all laughed and shouted!
The Jingzhou army that followed closely behind to pursue the cleanup also unconsciously avoided this group of killers until King Ning arrived!
"Lingxi is truly the war god of our Yue family! His cavalry roams the world, and his reputation is well-deserved!"
In response to the compliments, Yue Lingxi laughed heartily, revealing his flamboyant and outspoken nature, which was completely different from Yue Wuji's impression of him!
"Uncle Eight, the rest of the matter is up to you. Lingxi has a request that I would like to make, and I hope Uncle Eight will agree to it!"
Faced with Yue Lingxi's request, King Ning, who had just accepted help, could not refuse. What's more, more soldiers from Youzhou entering the city would only add strength to his side!
He casually handed the token handed to him by Yue Wuji to Wang Sheng behind him, and then Yue Lingxi took his leave on the pretext of leading his troops into the city.
Prince Ning did not take it seriously. The following battle for the imperial city was mainly based on siege and street fighting, and the role of cavalry was no longer significant.
Not only did Wang Sheng lead a team of people out of the city to bring Zhang Xiruo into the city, but Yue Lingxi himself returned to Hou Mansion. We need to wait and see what to do next!
Liu Buqi was waiting at the door, and the servants at home had already prepared food and hot water. Although the battle was short, fighting on the battlefield required all-out effort and was extremely tiring. There might be more battles to come, so he needed to hurry up and rest!
Yue Lingxi stood in front of the door and let the servants wipe the armor on his body. The blood on his body made Liu Buqi feel like retching.
"Buqi, now that Prince Ning has entered the Imperial City, the Crown Prince is under considerable pressure. What should we do next?"
Liu Buqi cast an emotional look over. Although they were husband and wife, Yue Lingxi was the leader of a faction.
Whether it was the joking "I have received orders" when he just went out, or the question he asked in public now when he knew the answer, it was obvious that he was helping to establish his authority in the army!
Liu Buqi can basically have the final say in the entire Youzhou civil affairs, but this approach does not work among the lower-level soldiers. These people will only believe in generals who can lead them to continuous victory!
Therefore, Liu Buqi's status in Youzhou is not equal to her position in the army!
Yue Lingxi raised Liu Buqi's status in front of the soldiers several times, as if the reason for their victory was all due to her successful planning.
In fact, it is equivalent to sharing one's own foundation with others. This is trust and the best protection for Liu Buqi!
If Yue Lingxi were to meet with an accident one day, Liu Buqi could raise his arm and, relying on his ever-accumulating reputation among the soldiers, suppress the arrogant and powerful generals, so that he would not be ignored!
