Invincible son

Chapter 821 820 [The Battle for Seizing the Gate]
The gate of Jiangling City is about five feet long. After the chariots and horses of the mission passed through, the Southern Zhou court guards escorted Princess Qinghe's carriage forward, followed by the maids and servants waiting to enter.

The city guards stood on both sides, looking at these Zhou people with a little curiosity.

The decades-long friction and war between the two countries obviously will not completely let go of their hatred just because of a marriage, especially these ordinary soldiers who often have to face the harassment of the Zhou army, at this moment, they can't help showing a little condescending demeanor.Because in their simple values, it is Nan Zhou who is now actively begging to send the princess, and the meaning of bowing his head and admitting defeat is self-evident.

Facing these gazes, the Southern Zhou imperial guards still looked as usual, guarding the princess' carriage and moving forward slowly.

In the spacious and comfortable carriage, Princess Qinghe looked a little nervous, because from the moment she entered Jiangling City, she had to accept a brand new life, and she would live as the Princess of Liang for the rest of her life.Judging from some news heard in the past, the eldest prince is very likely to become the prince, which means that she may even become the queen of Daliang in the future.

From a princess to a queen, this change of status is not too bizarre, but Princess Qinghe's heart is not full of joy, but full of worry and apprehension.

The carriage was very stable, and there was no jolt in the carriage, but Princess Qinghe couldn't settle down. She turned her head to look at the girl sitting next to her, but found that her complexion was slightly pale and her eyes were slightly out of focus. She couldn't help asking: Said: "Churong, is there something wrong with you?"

Xu Churong shook his head, and suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant topic: "Sister, are you familiar with these people accompanying you?"

Princess Qinghe naturally felt a little strange, but she still answered patiently: "Most of the maids are from Zhaochun Palace. Father hopes that I won't lose sight of me in Beiliang, and at least I have some people I can trust. As for I have never seen those internal prisons, servants and guards before."

"Haven't you seen it?" Xu Churong only felt his heartbeat suddenly start to speed up.

Princess Qinghe said suspiciously: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Sister——" Xu Churong had just opened his mouth when the stable carriage suddenly accelerated, and she almost fell forward. Before the two girls could calm down, a sharp shout burst out from outside.

"kill!"

When this luxurious carriage passed through the doorway and entered the spacious and flat main street ahead, the coachman flicked his whip violently, and the horse neighed in pain and then galloped forward with all four hooves.At the same time, Nan Zhou's hundred imperial guards clenched their weapons tightly and rushed towards both sides without warning.

The Daliang defenders couldn't dodge in time, and several people were killed in an instant, and the others immediately resisted desperately. However, the personal martial arts of the two sides are very different. In addition, the inside of the doorway is a relatively narrow area, and the formation of troops cannot exert its power, which is more suitable for these martial arts. A superb Southern Zhou imperial guard.

The most important point is that these ordinary soldiers did not expect that the other party would actually do it.

For a while, the shouts of killing continued, and the Daliang defenders who reacted were forced to retreat, and the Southern Zhou guards quickly controlled the gates and city gates.

The accident happened suddenly, and the officials of Daliang Mission who had already entered the front of the main street were all stunned, Sheng Duanming hurriedly got off the carriage, watched the brutal fighting unfolding near the city gate, and said angrily, "Go and help take back the city gate! "

Feng Yi and Gai Ju looked at each other, then clasped their hands and replied, "Master Sheng, please rest assured that the city gate will never be lost!"

The two led a hundred soldiers to turn the horse's head, and galloped across the long street like wind and clouds.

The carriage that Princess Qinghe was riding in happened to be on the route of their charge. The coachman smiled as if he was looking at death, and swung his long whip to beat the horse's buttocks with all his strength.

The two sides kept approaching at high speed, and the coachman roared wildly, but Feng Yi suddenly raised his left hand, so the knights changed direction and split into two, rushing past both sides of the carriage like a torrent of separation.

The smile on the coachman's face froze at this moment, and then several soldiers jumped down, the leader kicked him off the carriage, and the rest rushed up, someone removed his chin, someone bound him His hands and feet quickly made him unable to struggle anymore.

The crowd brought the carriage to the side of the street, and the leader said respectfully to the inside of the carriage: "Your Highness, Miss Xu, my Lord Hou ordered the villain to tell you two, please don't panic, he will protect your safety."

Princess Qinghe's trembling voice came from inside the carriage: "What happened?"

The soldiers replied: "The guards brought by His Highness are attacking the city gate."

Princess Qinghe's eyes darkened, and she almost passed out.

Xu Churong quickly supported her, and said worriedly: "Sister, take care of yourself and ignore these things for now."

Princess Qinghe had a miserable look on her face, and said sadly: "Churong, why did they do this?"

Yeah... why are you so cold-blooded and heartless?

Xu Churong couldn't figure it out. In fact, the premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger since she entered the city, but she still couldn't believe that Pei Yue's deduction would come true.Looking at Princess Qinghe who was holding back her tears, she just felt that her 16-year life was like a joke.

For the sake of Da Zhou's safety, the princess sister would rather marry to the distant Beiliang, and she never complained from the beginning to the end.Could it be that in His Majesty's eyes, her happiness and even her life are pawns that can be given up?
As for herself... her father's favor in the past turned into an extremely strong irony.

The girl seemed to grow up suddenly at this moment, she held Princess Qinghe's wrist, and said weakly but firmly: "Sister, don't be afraid, I will always be with you."

The carriage was escorted forward by Pei Yue's personal soldiers, but the carriage fell into a dead silence.

Although the defenders in the city had an overwhelming advantage in numbers, there was a strange situation around Yangchun Gate at this time.

After Feng Yi arrived with his own soldiers, the two sides confronted each other at a distance of about five or six feet. The Southern Zhou guards obviously did not dare to leave the vicinity of the gate, because their task was to occupy the Yangchun Gate and wait for the follow-up support of their own large troops.However, the defenders didn't seem to be in a hurry. After more than a dozen people were killed in the initial response, they chose to withdraw from the doorway and watched the enemy quietly like calm beasts.

Baoding Bo Cai Qian was still on the city wall at the moment, and he only sent one general down to deal with him. Feng Yi couldn't help being startled when he saw this person, and immediately got off his horse and went to greet him. There is no rush to take back the city gate.

This scene made the Southern Zhou Imperial Guards feel chills. They did not expect such a development at all. Many people had already realized that something was wrong, but at the moment the arrow was on the line, they had no second choice.

Some guards turned their heads and looked back, looking past the maids and eunuchs who had not yet entered the city, and cast their gazes to the vast flat land outside the city.

Pei Yue and his Beiwei camp are there.

At the moment when the chaos broke out, the beautiful maids of honor, after a short period of astonishment, immediately hid to both sides tremblingly.The vast majority of them are unwilling to stay away from their hometown, but they dare not disobey the sacred will. How could they have expected such an accident to happen? It is only their survival instinct to run towards the corners on both sides at this moment.

Different from these court ladies, hundreds of eunuchs and servants did not choose to flee for their lives, but instead made an unexpected move.

They immediately blocked the dozens of large vehicles outside the city gate. Although they could not seal the road into the city, they formed a vehicle formation to resist the Beiwei camp in a very short time.These people quickly opened the cage on the cart, which was supposed to be Princess Qinghe's dowry, but what they took out were all kinds of handy weapons.

So far, the conspiracy that the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty have painstakingly outlined has finally revealed the whole picture.

All their retreats were just for today's battle, and the purpose was naturally to take back the crucial Jiangling City, and then use a powerful navy to completely flatten the defense line of the entire Tiancang River.

The most critical part of this battle is to capture the Yangchun Gate, and then support it until the army arrives.

Pei Yue looked at the cold attitude of those people outside the city gate, smiled imperceptibly, and then turned his horse's head to face the south.
