When Xiao Xiang and Ren Fang led their people to Xiaoting's childe's residence, it was surrounded by nearly 10000 Sichuan legions led by Zhang situ, Yang Zhao, LV you and bu Ying.
When Xiao Xiang arrived, everyone would come up and join in the salute and say, "Princess highness!"
If Xiao Xiang doesn't come, they don't dare to attack privately. After all, Xiao Ting is the son of the prince of Sichuan. Xiao Xiang waved to the crowd, indicating that they didn't need to be polite, and then asked, "what's the situation here?"
Ying Ying said, "return to your highness, the prince's house has been surrounded by us. If we only need a princess's command, our soldiers will be able to storm in."
Xiao Xiang nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "how many soldiers do we have?"
Bouin calculated a little and said, "there are more than 10000 people."
Xiao Xiang shook her head slightly and said, "I'm afraid it's not enough. Continue to mobilize people."
Childe's residence is not an ordinary minister's residence. There are many servants, doormen, court guards and guards. Among them, there are many experts. If you fight, your more than 10000 soldiers may not be able to break the defense of Childe's residence.
Bu Ying replied, "don't worry, princess. We've already sent someone to dispatch troops. It won't be long before all kinds of people and horses will come."
Xiao xiangzan said yes. Then she separated the crowd in front, came to the front door of the childe's residence and said loudly, "listen, the people inside are the five princesses. Let brother Wang come out and talk to the palace!"
After she shouted, don't say that there was no reply in the childe's house. There was no movement and silence. Xiao Xiang narrowed her eyes and snorted coldly. She said on her side, "when all the troops and horses arrive, attack immediately. If there are rebels, you can follow the law!"
"Yes!" All the generals should bow their hands together.
After waiting for about two cups of tea, soldiers from all walks of life will arrive one after another. Looking around, there are more and more soldiers outside the childe's residence. Light bulbs, torches and Liangzi Chinese pine will shine as bright as day outside the childe's residence.
Xiao Xiang didn't have the patience to wait any longer. She waved and shouted, "attack!"
With her order, the generals gave orders to attack one after another. For a moment, the sound of shouting and killing became one, and the Sichuan army attacked the childe's residence like a tide.
Some Sichuan soldiers either set up ladders or piled up people's ladders and climbed to the wall of the courtyard. Some Sichuan soldiers hit the gate of the prince's residence with wooden stakes, and the deafening roar continued.
The gate of the childe's residence is not so easy to be knocked open. There are obviously fixed objects in it. The first ones to rush into the childe's residence are those Sichuan soldiers who climb the courtyard wall.
But people rushed up quickly and fell down faster. Many Sichuan soldiers had just stood on the courtyard wall and had not seen what was going on in the childe's residence. They had shot countless arrows first. In an instant, the sound of the arrow breaking armor became a continuous piece. The Sichuan soldiers who climbed up the courtyard wall fell on their back like hedgehogs, or fell down from the courtyard wall, and the screams were one after another.
The Sichuan army was not deterred by the fierce counterattack in the childe's residence. Next, the attacking soldiers raised their shields, braved the strong shot of the other party's arrows, rushed into the childe's residence and fought with the guards inside.
As Xiao Xiang estimated, there are too many Lingwu experts in the childe's residence. They fight hard. Even though there are tens of thousands of soldiers here, Xiao Xiang still can't have an obvious advantage in a short time.
Seeing that the battle was getting fiercer and fiercer, and the casualties on his side were getting heavier and heavier, Xiao Xiang subconsciously clenched her fist and shouted on her side: "dispatch troops, continue to dispatch troops, and take the childe's residence down to the palace tonight anyway!"
The generals understand that if they can't break the childe's mansion and capture the eldest childe Xiao ting in a short time, and let the princes outside the city know about it, they will join hands to enter Zhaoyang city and solve the danger of Xiao ting. Our side can't afford to take such a risk now.
People responded one after another and sent their subordinates to the legions outside the city to draw troops. They had just sent their men away. Suddenly, a thousand thousand chief of the Sichuan Army rode through the fast horse and came near Xiao Xiang and others. Then he turned down and bowed down on his knees, and said in a hurry, "Princess Royal, all the generals, Xiao Ting, the eldest son, is now out of town, looking at his direction. It seems to be going to the camp of Hong Jiajun!"
As soon as this remark came out, the heads of the generals present were buzzing. Xiao Ting went out of the city? How is this possible? Childe's residence has been surrounded by his own side. How did Xiao Ting get out? Can't you fly out with wings?
"Why not stop him? How many people does he have?" Buying was angry and anxious. He darted to the commander, grabbed his collar and lifted him up.
The commander turned pale with fear and stammered, "the eldest childe is going out of the city, villain... The villain can't stop it. There are nearly a thousand people going out of the city with the eldest childe!"
too bad! Buying's cold sweat flowed down. Xiao Ting must have gone to the blood clothes Hou for help. What should I do?
Bu Ying let go of the commander and turned to look at Xiao Xiang. The latter's face was gloomy and her eyes were rolling. She said faintly: "there must be a secret way to the outside world in the childe's residence. This time, we were too careless."
On the surface, Xiao Xiang seems to be surprised by this change, but in fact, it's not at all.
Ren Fang frowned and whispered, "princess, the last general just took someone to search the eldest childe's residence not long ago and didn't find a secret way!"
"Hum!" Xiao Xiang sneered and said casually, "if it's so easy for me to find it, can it be called a secret way?" Her casual remark sounded nothing to others, but it surprised Ren Fang's heart and frowned secretly.
It seems that the princess is not surprised that there are secret roads in the childe's house. It is likely that there are secret roads not only in the childe's house, but also in the princess's house, and even in other childe's house, princess's house and minister's official residence.
In that case, why is the princess so sure that her family is hiding in the palace? Did she hear something in advance, or... Ren Fang doesn't dare to think further. If it's the latter possibility, the scheming of the five princesses is too terrible.
Xiao Xiang saw Ren Fang frowning and meditating, and her face was still changing. She thought Ren Fang was worried about Xiao Ting's escape from the city. She smiled and patted Ren Fang's shoulder armor with her whip, Said: "general Ren, don't worry. What if brother Wang escapes to the Lord in blood? Brother Wang instructs Jin Liren to kidnap the family members of the minister in the court. People and gods are angry and it's unreasonable. If the Lord in blood dares to cover up brother Wang, he will also be guilty!"
While talking, she looked positive and said in a deep voice, "all generals, listen to the order!"
"The end will come!" The crowd was shocked and bowed in eagerly.
Xiao Xiang narrowed her eyes and said in a condensed voice, "mobilize all our legions that can be mobilized and besiege the Hong family army station immediately!"
Everyone was surprised when they heard the speech. The princess is going to attack the blood coat Hou. They were stunned for a moment, and then answered in unison, "I will obey!" After receiving the order, the generals turned away one after another, leaving only their own generals to continue to direct the battle here.
The troops stationed in the regiment were stationed in the same direction as the army corps of Zhang Si chart, and the two of them were also the north city which was accompanied by him. On the way back to his residence, he placed a secret and said: "General Zhang, your highness seems to have known that there is a secret passage in the mansion."
Zhang situ blinked, shook his head and smiled and said, "it's impossible! If the princess knew that there was a secret way in the childe's residence, she would either send someone to destroy it in advance or set up troops to intercept it at the exit, how could she enlarge the childe's escape?"
"If the eldest childe escapes, he will inevitably go to the blood clad Marquis who has the closest relationship with him. Doesn't this just give the princess a justifiable reason to get rid of the blood clad Marquis?" Ren Fang looked at Zhang situ and whispered.
Zhang Situ sighed in his heart, and his expression on the face changed little. He did not answer directly the question of Ren Fang. Instead, what he said was "what is your royal highness?"
He asked Ren Fang stunned. The princess is a princess. Who else can it be? He said blankly, "yes... It's a princess. What does general Zhang mean by this?"
"Oh!" Zhang situ smiled and smiled lightly. He shook his head and said, "it seems that general Ren still doesn't understand that the princess is not a princess, but a king. She is the king of Sichuan in the future. As a minister, it's taboo to figure out the king's mind. Therefore, general Ren doesn't need to think too much. All he has to do is follow the princess's orders. This... Is the way to protect himself!"
Ren Fang was stunned, and then suddenly realized that Zhang situ knew how to be a minister. He nodded and said, "thank you for your advice. I understand."
Zhang situ smiled and nodded. After a while, he suddenly opened his mouth and whispered, "in fact, I agree with general Ren's speculation just now."
Seeing that Ren Fang wanted to speak, he quickly waved his hand and said, "this sentence doesn't have to be answered. Just when I talk to myself."
Ren Fang took a deep look at Zhang situ and was indeed silent.
Zhang situ, Ren Fang, Yang Zhao, LV you and bu Ying, the five top generals, went back to their regiment stations. Zhang situ led the first corps, Yang Zhao led the third and fourth corps, LV you led the tenth corps, bu Ying led the sixth and twelfth corps, together with the fifth, seventh and eighth Corps led by Ren Fangsuo, to advance to the residence of the Hong family army.
The five generals, with a total of nine regiments under their command, are as powerful as a mountain. They are close to the garrison of the Hong family army from the four directions of southeast and northwest.
Now, Xiao Ting, who escaped from Zhaoyang, is indeed hiding in Hong Jiajun's camp. Don't mention that Hong Yuetian didn't understand what happened in Zhaoyang city. Even Xiao Ting didn't want to understand why Xiao Xiang suddenly poisoned himself.
After Hong Yuetian personally connected Xiao ting to the military camp and asked him what had happened, Xiao Ting shook her head and roared with a trembling voice: "crazy, Xiao Xiang's bitch is crazy. Tonight, she unexpectedly led a large army to siege my childe's residence. She wants to get rid of me first and then inherit the throne!"
