The princess does not have a bridal chamber

089 Patriotic Siege

Changzhou city.

The gates of the city were closed tightly, and the people were panicked.

As soon as Shangguan Chen arrived in Changzhou City, he first climbed to the top of the city and looked at the Weiguo barracks stationed outside the city.

In just half a month, the Wei Kingdom actually captured most of the cities in the north of Ziyue Kingdom.If it weren't for the special terrain of Changzhou City, I'm afraid it would have also planted the banner of Weiguo.

The general guarding the city was late, and he only pretended to salute when he saw Shangguan Chen.These generals have been stationed outside all year round, and they don't have a good impression of the prince sent by the court, and even have some hatred.Because in their eyes, Shangguanchen came to weaken the power in their hands.Over the years, these generals have long regarded their soldiers as their own forces, and there is no room for others to intervene.

Especially when he saw Shangguan Chen's almost sickly pale face, he decided that the prince who had been missing for two years was just a person with little ability.

Shangguan Chen saw their every move, and his face became more serious.

"My lord, I'm tired on the road, I'd better ask my lord to rest for a while before making any plans." General Zhang, who was guarding the city, made a gesture of invitation.

Shangguan Chen did not ignore the sarcasm that flashed across his face.

"No, General Zhang, the situation is critical now, and state affairs are the most important thing." Shangguan Chen waved his hand to reject his proposal, and then he glanced at the generals majestically, "Generals, the National Guards have been stationed outside the city for a few days. ?”

An almost invisible astonishment flashed in General Zhang's eyes: "Go back to the prince, it's been three days."

"Three days?" Shangguan Chen asked coldly, "In the past half a month, Weiguo has traveled a long distance. Both men and horses are in a state of extreme exhaustion. Why didn't the general take this opportunity to counterattack?"

"My lord, you don't know. These soldiers defending the country are brave and good at fighting. The last general also sent soldiers to attack, but the entire army was wiped out. Before he thought of a good way, the last general didn't dare to act rashly." After listening to Shangguan Chen's words, Zhang Some cold sweat broke out on the general's back, probably because he didn't expect Shangguan Chen to ask such a sharp question as soon as he arrived.But after all, he is also battle-tested, so he can still figure out what to do.

Shangguan Chen raised his eyes and looked ahead again. Three days was enough to slow down the army of Weiguo!General Zhang is not a fledgling kid, how could he not understand these truths?If a prince is under the influence of state affairs, if there is no one behind him, how dare he be so arrogant?

When he first arrived at the barracks, if he rashly dealt with General Zhang by delaying the military plane, it would definitely cause turmoil in the army, and what's more, the soldiers would rebel.If left alone, it would be impossible to establish prestige in the army, let alone lead troops in battle.

"General Zhang, this king is also on the battlefield for the first time, and has no actual combat experience. This plan to retreat from the enemy is General Lao." Shangguan Chen said seriously.Shangguan Chen was sure that Weiguo would attack the city tonight, but there was no defense here, as if he was sure that Weiguo would not be able to attack the city.

General Zhang didn't expect such a big contrast between Shangguanchen and the past, and he felt a little apprehensive.After this short conversation, he already understood that Shangguan Chen was not a person to be fooled easily.

"The general is right, I'm going to take a rest first. The rest of the matter is more troublesome for the general." After Shangguan Chen said politely, he brought the two capitals to the imperial guards to lead the city.

When Shangguanchen was far away, the lieutenant beside General Zhang asked anxiously: "General, this prince doesn't seem to be as useless as we imagined."

General Zhang snorted coldly: "How much can he do? But you all cheer me up, don't make any trouble for this general."

"Yes, General." The lieutenant said respectfully.

"The bastards of Weiguo are ready to move. They may attack the city tonight. You hurry up and give orders, and prepare the catapults. Also, send more people to patrol." General Zhang looked at the eager Weiguo army and ordered decisively. .

But he said that Shangguanchen returned to the army tent and asked the two commanders to stay.

He looked serious and stared at those two people: "I know that you are dissatisfied with this king, but this is not the capital, you belong to this king. You should be clear about the truth that if you are prosperous, you will be ruined. If you still give this king a disgrace That way, you will only be played to death by the people here!"

The two commanders were frightened and knelt down: "This subordinate dare not."

"Tonight, the National Guard will attack the city. No matter what happens, you should ignore it. No matter what order you give, you must refuse it on the grounds of protecting my safety." Shangguan Chen ordered solemnly. The two commanders listened to their own words.

"Yes!" The two commanders said in unison.

"Go down, remember what I said." Shangguan Chen waved them back.

When the figures of the two disappeared, Shangguanchen's body shook a few times, and he managed to stand still while supporting the table.His face became very ugly, and Dou Da's cold sweat dripped from his forehead.Along the way, the horse raced so fast that there was no time to rest at all.Shangguan Chen's body was already weak, and he was completely exhausted after such a long journey.

Fortunately, the accompanying imperial doctor kept watching him closely, and when he saw the two commanders coming out, he hurried in.Seeing Shangguan Chen's appearance, he quickly helped him onto the bed, took out a silver needle and stuck it on his vital points.

"My lord, you'd better take a rest. If this continues, your body won't be able to take it anymore." The imperial doctor looked worried.

"This king has his own measure." Shangguan Chen closed his eyes and said calmly.

The imperial doctor shook his head, how could he not know Shangguan Chen's temperament after staying in the palace for so long.He could only secretly pray that the prince would pay attention to his body, otherwise he really couldn't afford to take care of something.

After a while, seeing that there was no movement from Shangguanchen, the imperial doctor left quietly and decocted medicine for Shangguanchen himself.

Sure enough, around Hai hour, Shangguan Chen, who was closing his eyes, vaguely heard loud shouts.The corners of the lips are slightly raised.

He simply got up, ignored the imperial doctor's warning, and quietly performed lightness kung fu to climb to a high place.Countless torches in Changzhou City are swaying in the wind.The soldiers of the state of Wei formed a square formation, erected shields in front of them, and moved forward slowly.

The soldiers guarding the city of Ziyue Kingdom kept firing arrows at those phalanxes, but they were all deflected because of the wind direction.Occasionally, those who shot past were also blocked by those hard shields.

"Throwing stones!" Seeing that the soldiers of the state of Wei were getting closer and closer to the city gate, the deputy general above the city gate became a little anxious.

The stones were thrown one after another, but the accuracy rate of hitting was very low, and the penetrating power was not strong.

Shangguan Chen frowned. If the soldiers of Wei State had arrived under the city wall before throwing stones, the effect would definitely be much better.

Those Wei people were not afraid at all, and still marched forward bravely.Those who are accidentally hit will be replaced immediately.They soon arrived at the city wall, and several big men carried a big log and slammed into the city gate with all their strength.The force was so great that even the soldiers on the city wall felt trembling.

"Set it on fire!" the lieutenant yelled. Immediately, many soldiers poured oil on the city wall, and the archers fired rockets down. Soon, a raging fire ignited, and those Wei people who couldn't escape screamed in pain.

For a while, the people of the Wei Kingdom retreated one after another, not daring to approach the line of fire at the foot of the city wall.

Seeing this, Shangguan Chen immediately turned back.

There is no moon tonight, maybe the sky will also help Weiguo!

As soon as Shangguan Chen returned, it actually started to rain.The city gate was broken, and Changzhou City could no longer hold it.

The heroic shouts of the soldiers of the defending country were faintly heard, and the muffled sound of the city gate being knocked down could also be heard.

After a while, General Zhang sent someone outside the military tent to invite Shangguan Chen.The two commanders kept Shangguan Chen's order in mind and stopped the man from the tent.No matter what the man said, the commander refused to report on the grounds that 'the prince is unwell'.

The man was helpless, and he didn't dare to force his way into Shangguan Chen's military tent.Had to hurry back to report.

"You two come in." When the man walked away, Shangguan Chen called to the two of them.

The two commanders came in quickly, "What is your order?"

"Let the imperial guards gather, and prepare yourself, we are going out to fight." Shangguan Chen solemnly ordered, "Wait without my order, no one is allowed to act rashly, otherwise, we will be dealt with by military law!"

"Yes!" Perhaps because they recognized their situation clearly, the two commanders could only obey Shangguan Chen's orders.

As soon as the two commanders left, General Zhang broke into Shangguanchen's military tent: "My lord, the battle is urgent. The general begs the lord to transfer the three thousand forbidden troops to the general."

Shangguan Chen sneered secretly in his heart, at this moment he was still thinking about the 3000 elite imperial troops he brought?What do you say, these [-] Shangguan Chen will not be used by Zhang Cheng, he pretended to be surprised and asked: "What happened to General Zhang?"

"Back to your lord, the Wei people are cunning and attacked the city at night. Now it's raining, the catapults can't be used, and the city gate is about to be smashed." Zhang Cheng was very angry. Shangguan Chen just let people Blocking people outside to prevent people from coming in, he has to come forward in person!

"It's unreasonable, general, hurry up and take me there." Shangguan Chen hurriedly picked up the armor and put it on, urging Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng was even angrier, Shangguan Chen completely ignored his request.When he was about to say something, Shangguan Chen had already left the military tent.Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth and followed.

Shangguan Chen boarded the city gate with a dignified expression: "What advice does the general have?"

"Open the city gate and fight with the Wei Guo thieves!" Zhang Cheng blushed, and wanted to give Shangguan Chen a blow, but he didn't expect to be humiliated first.

"No!" Shangguan Chen vetoed, "Now that the city gates are opened, the people of the state of Wei rush in. We have no ability to fight back. We can only be slaughtered by others."

"Then according to what the prince sees?"

Shangguan Chen raised his hand, and the two commanders of the forbidden army stepped forward immediately.

"Li Yu, Tang Xiaofeng obey your orders, let the imperial army replace the archers!" Shangguan Chen quickly ordered, "The rest of the imperial army will stand guard under the city gate."

Seeing this, Zhang Cheng became even more furious. He looked down on these forbidden troops stationed in Kyoto from the bottom of his heart.Now Shangguan Chen casually replaced his archer, and his tone was a little offended: "My lord, now that the enemy is in front of us, how can it be such a joke?"

Shangguan Chen ignored him and continued, "All aim at the attackers!"
