Chapter 295: Swear to Live and Die with the Prince
Ye Wenxi felt pain and couldn't help but gasp.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchun immediately glanced at the two of them, but when he met Chen Hechuan's cold expression, he didn't dare to ask.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened. After everyone came to a conclusion, they immediately set off again.
But soon after he walked out, he vaguely heard a cry for help from the front.
Gu Jingchun held his breath and concentrated, vaguely feeling that the voice sounded familiar.
"I heard that the other party seemed to be calling... Luo Ziqian?"
Gu Jingchun immediately looked at Luo Ziqian, but saw that Luo Ziqian had already rushed over quickly.
Everyone immediately chased after her and saw Princess Rongyang galloping on horseback from afar.
Shen Hechuan was shocked and immediately sped up.
Luo Ziqian, however, got one step ahead of him, rode his horse forward, and leaped onto Princess Rongyang's horse.
He first held her down and quickly dodged an arrow shot from behind.
Then he tightened the reins and helped her stop the horse.
Seeing this, Chen Hechuan breathed a sigh of relief and directed his spearhead at the pursuers behind him.
Soon, Chen Hechuan dealt with all the pursuers, and Princess Rongyang's horse also stopped.
She was frightened and her whole body was shaking violently. When she turned around and found that it was really Luo Ziqian behind her, she immediately threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
"Luo Ziqian, it really is you. It's actually you."
"It's so good to see you again."
Princess Rongyang hugged him and cried bitterly.
Luo Ziqian endured the pain of the broken wound, touched her hair, and comforted her patiently.
"Okay, it's okay, it's okay now. I'm here, no one can hurt you."
"How come you are outside the palace and being chased again?"
Princess Rongyang has now calmed down.
She immediately raised her head and took out the token in her arms.
"Prince Rui is conspiring with Marquis Yong'an to rebel. I'm going to the garrison camp to mobilize troops."
"The garrison camp currently has a maximum of 20,000 soldiers and horses, while the enemy has a full 50,000 men. Even if all the imperial guards were added, it would be difficult to resist."
Shen Hechuan spoke.
Only then did Princess Rongyang realize that Chen Hechuan was there too.
She hurriedly came out of Luo Ziqian's arms with some embarrassment, and handed the token in her hand to Chen Hechuan.
"Whether you can win or not, you have to try it to know. It's better than admitting defeat without fighting."
Shen Hechuan chuckled with satisfaction.
"You're worthy of being my sister."
After Gu Jingchun pondered for a while, he couldn't help but look up.
"Perhaps, I have a way to defeat the enemy with fewer people."
Afterwards, after Shen Hechuan transferred all the people out of the garrison camp, Gu Jingchun divided the people into two groups.
Seventy percent of the men followed Shen Hechuan to fight.
As for the remaining 30% of people, when Shen Hechuan was fighting, they deliberately created a lot of sounds of hitting the ground and soldiers charging from behind.
This is to give the enemy the illusion that there are tens of thousands of people behind them, and to make them afraid with their momentum.
Afterwards, Shen Hechuan led his men to rush in and immediately captured the enemy general.
Then he took the opportunity to capture the other party's confidant, asked Luo Ziqian to change into the other party's clothes, disguise himself as the other party, and immediately go to report to Yong'an Hou.
As Gu Jingchun spoke, he turned his gaze to Luo Ziqian.
"Remember, your voice must be loud at this time, preferably so that all the soldiers can hear it. Whether or not you can disrupt the morale of the army depends on how loud you shout."
Luo Ziqian nodded, with some excitement in his eyes.
Gu Jingchun continued, "Once Yong'an Hou learns of this news, he will naturally not sit idly by and will definitely rush to fight Chen Hechuan."
Gu Jingchun said this and smiled again.
"At this time, you can go back and inform Prince Rui that Marquis Yong'an has been beheaded.
The commander is dead, and even if the army is reunited, its morale will be broken."
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, Luo Ziqian couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
"high!"
"This move is really great."
As he spoke, he frowned slightly and raised his doubts.
"However, I have a question. What if the rebels don't believe it?"
Gu Jingchun chuckled again.
"That's easy. We can just find a few of our men, dress them in rebel clothing, and blend in with the rebels. At a critical moment, we can confuse them and disrupt their morale."
“Pah pah pah——”
Luo Ziqian couldn't help but applaud Gu Jingchun, "What a good plan, what a good method."
Gu Jingchun's face did not look relaxed at all.
"This may sound simple, but it's not so easy to implement. If you're not careful, you'll lose everything, or even your life. You absolutely cannot take it lightly."
Luo Ziqian nodded.
Chen Hechuan was looking at Gu Jingchun.
"Those rebels have undergone rigorous training, and the Marquis of Yong'an has also trained soldiers for many years. They will definitely not give up fighting just because of a few words."
Gu Jingchun chuckled.
"Don't worry. When you charge into the Imperial City, I will bring the remaining 30% of my troops with me. Holding torches, we will surround the entire Imperial City and all the other imperial cities, creating the illusion that our large force has surrounded them."
Shen Hechuan frowned.
"Do you know how big this imperial city is? To create the illusion of a large crowd, it would take more than just a few thousand people."
Gu Jingchun nodded.
"Don't worry about this. I still have manpower."
Gu Jingchun said this and looked at Ye Wenxi.
"Is everything arranged?"
Ye Wenxi nodded.
"The signal has been sent, everyone is on standby."
There was no need for many words, just a glance and the two of them seemed to have a perfect understanding.
Chen Hechuan clenched his back teeth, fixed his gaze on Ye Wenxi, looked her up and down, and then looked at Gu Jingchun.
"You...must protect yourself. No matter what time, safety is the most important thing."
Gu Jingchun nodded.
Afterwards, several people immediately acted according to the plan.
Chen Hechuan led his men to the palace gate and soon got involved in a fierce battle.
However, the elite soldiers painstakingly trained by Marquis Yong'an are naturally very powerful.
Most of the soldiers stationed in the camp were old, weak, sick and disabled, making it very difficult to deal with them.
It looked like we were about to fall into a disadvantage.
The commotion created by Gu Jingchun and his men caused the enemy's morale to be momentarily shaken, but this was not enough. They had to be defeated at this time to shake their morale.
And at this critical moment.
A group of people suddenly appeared behind Chen Hechuan and quickly joined the battle.
"The Chief Censor, Situ Qinghe, has brought all his retainers and guards to aid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We swear to live and die with His Royal Highness."
"Luo Kejin of the Shangshu Mansion has brought all his servants and guards to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We swear to live and die with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Your Highness, your Highness, I, the Grand Tutor Wang Yongnian, have come with all my household servants and guards to lend a hand to His Highness the Crown Prince. I swear to live and die with His Highness the Crown Prince."
…
When Chen Hechuan looked back during the fierce battle, he saw that it was his own ministers who were joining the tense battle with their only guards.
