Chapter 2814： Wang Cheng's doubts

However, at this moment, Wang Cheng learned a news that shocked him and made him angry.

The eighth prince actually launched an attack while he was attacking the other two princes, and it took only one night to retake a city from his own hands!

Wang Cheng, who knows the content of the three princes' assessment very well, has already understood that the eight princes have won the competition and become the new emperor of the Dalu Dynasty, but there is only one ceremony left!

Wang Cheng was not interested in who became the emperor of the imperial court, nor did he care. In his opinion, no matter who was enthroned, he could not prevent himself from overthrowing the Lu family’s rule over the Da Lu dynasty, and he would be the real heaven. The son of choice!

However, to make Wang Cheng angry, the Eighth Prince actually attacked him! This allowed Wang Cheng, who had been very smooth in his offense during this period, to say that this was undoubtedly a bludgeon, which made him lose face and the morale of his team!

Therefore, Wang Cheng was very angry.

While he was angry, he was also wondering how the people of the Eighth Prince had captured that city overnight.

In order to ensure the victory over the eldest prince and the third prince, Wang Cheng drew most of the elite in his hand, and then, indeed, successfully completed the ambush on the eldest prince and the third prince, and defeated them. Won a huge victory.

Correspondingly, the elite soldiers he stayed in each city were much less, and most of them were just people with average combat effectiveness.

However, even if the combat effectiveness is average, their number is quite large. Moreover, they can also use the city defense facilities. Even if the Eighth Prince leads troops to attack, in Wang Cheng's view, it is definitely not a short time to give the city to the city. Attacked, and as long as the defending army persists for a period of time, his side can solve the eldest prince and the third prince, and then lead the elite army back, and the soldiers in the city have a front and back flanking team, Annihilate them all.

However, Wang Cheng did not expect that the defenders he stayed in the city did not persist for even a day. They only persisted for less than a night. They collapsed and the city was lost. Moreover, most of the defenders in the city , All surrendered to the Eighth Prince.

How could you lose the city so quickly? What a trash!

Wang Cheng was naturally very angry about this. However, he also knew that it was useless to be angry now. The city was lost. What he had to do now was to defeat the army of the Eight Princes, so that from his hands, once again Take back the city.

Wang Chenglai was still thinking that after defeating the eldest prince and the third prince, he might be able to fight in the direction of the imperial capital. After all, the imperial army of the Dalu dynasty had been defeated twice before this time. The army led by the prince was defeated again, and the army that the imperial court could fight was no longer sufficient. He fought in one go. Without giving the imperial court time to relax, it was very likely that the imperial capital would be defeated.

However, now he has to change his offensive plan. He has to give up the idea of ​​attacking the imperial capital and go back to the team of the eight princes. He does not leave the team of the eight princes behind him. After all, there is not much behind him. Once the Eighth Prince is left alone, his rear will be completely chaotic. Wang Cheng doesn’t think that the peasants who have just defected to him for a long time can have much loyalty to him and can defend the city for him. What happened before also proved this point.

Therefore, Wang Cheng had to go back, and he still had to go back as soon as possible. The Eighth Prince may already know what lies behind him. If he gives the Eighth Prince more time, maybe he will have to work on his other cities.

"It's just that, how could the Eighth Prince's team be so fast, and how can they beat the city down so smoothly?" Wang Cheng said in a daze.

Because Wang Cheng has received relatively little news now, he is not very clear about how his city was lost. This also made him wonder how the eighth princes could advance so fast, and also, It took less than one night to occupy a city, which is too fast.

If you want to rush to the city to ambush in a short time, you can only use cavalry, leaving the infantry and baggage behind. However, the cavalry alone will be faster. However, the cavalry cannot carry much siege equipment. Yes, and they are not good at siege. How did they get into the city so fast? Moreover, after entering the city, the progress is still so smooth?

Wang Cheng couldn't figure it out, so he could only stop thinking about it. He could only rush back with his own subordinates with doubts, even the mood of defeating the eldest prince and the third prince in succession before. It's not so beautiful anymore.

Contrary to Wang Cheng's mood, the eighth prince at this time was in a very good mood, very good.

Before, Huang Feng said that there were not many elite soldiers in the city occupied by Wang Cheng at this time. Some were old, weak, sick and disabled. Moreover, he still had something to do in the city. He asked him to send someone to surprise him immediately.

Although the eighth prince accepted Huang Feng's suggestion, he was skeptical in his heart. He didn't believe Huang Feng's words very much. He just sent the cavalry there because he didn't want to take measures and held a try.

And now, the eighth prince’s approach has been reported, and there is news from the front line that the cavalry who set off first has entered the city smoothly and controlled the target city. In other words, he has won this competition and waits for him to return. In the imperial capital, he will become the new emperor of the Great Lu Dynasty!

This time, it’s not that Princess Qi pushed herself forcibly, but was obtained through assessment. Although Princess Qi also secretly helped, other people didn’t know about it. Therefore, this time, no one would oppose her anymore. Up.

Thinking of this, how could the Eighth Prince be in a bad mood?

The eighth prince is very grateful to Princess Qi, thanked her for arranging Huang Feng by his side, and fortunately that although he doubted Huang Feng's words before, he still did according to Huang Feng's statement, otherwise, he would not be possible now. Occupying the entire city, you may still be advancing slowly on the road, how can you win the competition so quickly?

For this reason, the eighth princes are also very grateful and trustful to Huang Feng. At this time, in the eighth prince’s heart, in addition to Princess Qi and his mother, Huang Feng has the most weight in his heart. Now, he trusts and admires this person who has only met recently.
