"At the current speed, I should be able to arrive tomorrow night, huh, the eighth prince, I will let you know that your Lu family is over, and I, Wang Cheng, will overthrow your Lu family!" Wang Cheng rode on the horse, Looking at the endless team in front of him, he muttered to himself with confidence.
Huang Feng guessed right. After Wang Cheng knew that his city was broken by the Eighth Prince’s people, he was really anxious and angry. He really didn’t dare to let the Eighth Prince be behind him. In that case, he would give He caused a lot of trouble.
In Wang Cheng's view, he has successfully defeated the court's army, and he has successfully hit the court. Now, he doesn't need to take risks. He can successfully overthrow the Lu family's rule as long as he proceeds step by step. Therefore, what he wants now is stability.
And let the eighth prince be behind him, obviously can’t stabilize, the eighth prince has a lot of troops, if he is really left alone, he will definitely mess around behind him, and in the city behind him, but There are adequate supplies and the families of the soldiers. If something happens, these soldiers may not be able to fight on the front line with peace of mind.
Therefore, the city must be taken back from the eighth prince, and the eighth prince must also be eliminated. Moreover, it cannot be delayed for too long, because the longer the delay, the greater the damage the eighth prince will cause to his rear. At that time, even if he rushed back and wiped out the team of the Eight Princes, some of the losses could not be made up.
While on the way, Wang Cheng was a little confused and admired about the behavior of the Eighth Prince.
Originally, Wang Cheng thought that because of the existence of the assessment, the eighth prince would be like the eldest prince and the third prince, desperately on the road, in that case, he gave himself the opportunity to do so, but the eighth prince did not do that, instead It was a steady fight, not a rush.
However, this was also the place where Wang Cheng was puzzled. Since the Eighth Prince did not march in a hurry, how did his people rush to the city in front of him? If there are only cavalry, the speed is not a problem, but how can it be possible to have cavalry alone? It's about to lay down such a big city.
"Hateful, the intelligence system has done so poorly. A lot of information from the front has not been transmitted. After this period of time has passed, I must organize the intelligence system." Not being able to know the specific situation on the front line made Wang Cheng feel like a blind man. , And, how exactly did the Eighth Prince smash the city? Such doubts have been lingering in his heart, which makes it extremely uncomfortable.
This made Wang Cheng firm in his determination to sort out the intelligence system, and he could not let this incident continue to happen.
As for the other cities, the flying pigeons also passed on the book before, saying that there seemed to be people from the court around them, and suspecting that they might be attacking those cities, this made Wang Cheng even more anxious.
The eighth prince has already laid down a city, so he must already know the reality of his city. He wants to take advantage of the time he has not rushed back to occupy other cities, which is very understandable. Once those cities are The Eighth Prince had to go back more, so if Wang Cheng wanted to take it back again, the price would be very high. After all, his people were not good at siege, and they didn’t have any siege equipment.
Therefore, after Wang Cheng knew that there were people from the imperial court around the other cities, he felt more urgent and accelerated the marching speed of the team.
However, Wang Cheng seems to have forgotten that before, he was able to successfully ambush the team of the first prince and the third prince, because these two princes forced his army to march quickly, which gave him a chance.
And now, Wang Cheng made the same decision as the eldest prince and the third prince, he also made the team march in a state of rapid march.
Wang Cheng did this because he felt that the eighth prince could conquer a city overnight, that must have used all the main force, otherwise, how could he conquer a city so smoothly and so quickly.
Therefore, the eighth princes should be in the city in front at this time, and after the city is captured, they must be kept for defense. Especially, if there are a lot of rebel soldiers in that city, don’t keep them. Enough people can't hold it down at all.
At the same time, people from the court also appeared around the other cities. Thinking about it, it should be the Eighth Prince who wanted to seize the opportunity to retake the other cities before he went back.
Therefore, in this case, it is impossible for the eighth prince to have the energy and strength to ambush himself halfway, and because he is worried about the front line, he dare not waste too much time on the road, so he only Can advance in a state of rapid march.
Of course, Wang Cheng was not completely brainless. He was somewhat mindful. On the way back, he did not return the same way, but chose another path. Under this situation, even the eighth prince thought To ambush him, it is difficult to determine his marching route.
"Let the team speed up again, we can't delay too long on the road." Wang Cheng urged again.
"Chief, everyone is already unable to walk. If you encounter the court's army on the road, this..." the adjutant next to him hesitated. After all, they had just taken advantage of the state of the court's army to march and suffered a serious injury. They, now, they themselves marched in a hurry, this adjutant was naturally worried.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Wang Cheng waved his hand to stop his adjutant from continuing.
The successive victories during this period of time made Wang Cheng feel a little airy. His confidence was extremely collided, and he completely believed in his own abilities. It was difficult to listen to other people’s opinions. Therefore, even this adjutant had already persuaded him more than once. He didn't care about it.
Because he thinks there will be nothing wrong, then, there will definitely be nothing wrong, can others have their own accurate predictions?
Therefore, Wang Cheng still insisted on his own opinions and insisted on allowing his team to speed up again.
The adjutant had no choice but to convey the order. The soldiers below were naturally wailing. They had already overdrawn their stamina while on the road. At this time, it was already very good to be able to maintain the current speed on the road. Not bad, but Wang Cheng was dissatisfied, and he wanted them to continue to speed up. They were human beings, not cattle, even if they were cattle, they would be tired if they kept driving at such a high intensity.
However, their complaints did not change Wang Cheng's opinion. In the end, they could only continue to insist on gritting their teeth and speeding up further.
But at this time, Wang Cheng and their men did not notice that many people were lying in ambush near the small mound next to them, watching their every move.
