However, at this moment, Wang Cheng learned a news that shocked him and made him angry.
The eighth prince actually took advantage of his attack on the other two princes, launching an attack, and it took only one night to take back a city from his own hands!
Wang Cheng, who knows the content of the three princes' assessment very well, already understands that the eight princes have won the contest and become the new emperor of the Dalu Dynasty, but there is only one ritual!
Wang Cheng is not interested in who becomes the emperor of the court, nor does he care. In his opinion, no matter who is enthroned, he cannot prevent himself from overthrowing the Lu family’s rule over the Da Lu dynasty, and he will 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 offensively during this period, to say that this was undoubtedly a slam dunk, 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 who didn't know the eight princes had occupied the 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 hands, and then, indeed, successfully completed the ambush on the eldest prince and the third prince, and beat them to defeat. 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 mediocre, the number of them 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 Attacked, and as long as the defending army persists for a while, he can solve the eldest prince and the third prince. Then, he will lead the elite army back and join the soldiers in the city to fuse back and forth and fend the team of the eight princes. 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 just 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 waste!
Wang Cheng is naturally very angry about this, but he also knows that it is useless to be angry now. The city has been lost. What he has to do now is to defeat the army of the eight princes, so that from his hands, once again Take back the city.
Wang Zhilai 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 in one go. 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 court could fight was no longer sufficient. He fought in one go. Without giving the court time to relax, it was very likely that the emperor would be defeated.
However, now he must change his offensive plan. He must 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 does not think that the farmers who have just defected to him for a long time can have much loyalty to him and defend the city for him. What happened before also proved this point.
Therefore, Wang Cheng has to go back, and he still has to go back as soon as possible. The Eighth Prince may already know the reality behind him. If the Eighth Prince is given more time, maybe he will have to work on his other cities.
"It's just that, how can the Eighth Prince's team be so fast, and how can they beat the city down so smoothly?" Wang Cheng was confused.
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, 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 and leave 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 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 Grand Prince and the Third Prince. It's not so beautiful anymore.
Contrary to Wang Cheng's mood, the Eighth Prince at this time was in a very good mood.
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. It was just because he didn't want to take measures and held a try, he sent the cavalry.
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 successfully entered the city and controlled the target city. That is to say, 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 was not Princess Qi who pushed herself forcibly, but was obtained after an examination. Although Princess Qi secretly helped, other people did not know 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 fortunate that although he had doubted Huang Feng's words before, but still followed 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 trusting to Huang Feng. At this time, in the eighth prince's heart, apart from Princess Qi and his mother, Huang Feng has the most weight in his heart. Now, he trusts and admires this person who has only recently met.
