Chapter 285 The first battle

When the morning sun rises slowly, the dark world becomes bright again.

Those who had not been asleep all night stood in their courtyards, looking at the rising sun from afar, all in their hearts that they could pass early today.

The prince’s private residence.

Since yesterday, the prince has been immersed in the fantasy of becoming an emperor again.

He was in a very good mood and never even had such a good life.

Zhang Zhong was not by his side at this moment. He stayed alone in the luxurious living room, enjoying the carnival that no one looked at.

Because when he walked out of this room, he had to become compassionate, and even had to agree to his ministers to "force" himself to become an emperor, and he would never show any joy.

"Your Highness, General Zhang Zhong has assembled a large army and is waiting outside the courtyard." A soldier shouted outside the door.

The prince returned to reality from his fantasy. At this time, he had already put on a yellow robe. The fitted robe made him very comfortable. The soft and precious materials seemed to tell everyone that his identity was extraordinary.

He pushed open the door, and when the first ray of sunlight shone on his cheeks, a warm feeling spread throughout his body.

He understood that the moment he walked out of this room, he was only half a step away from the throne of the emperor.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Welcome to the Crown Prince!"

Hundreds of generals knelt down at the same time and bowed before him.

Thousands of soldiers on the periphery also knelt on one knee.

At this time, Zhang Zhong also put on a brass armor, walked to the prince with a serious expression, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the army has gathered, and they are all waiting for your highness to speak."

The prince nodded. As the leading figure in this uprising, he had to give all generals and ministers a declaration of uprising.

Of course, he has practiced this "manifesto" many times and has long been familiar with it.

He slowly walked to the center of the huge courtyard, where a half-person-high platform had been prepared for him to speak.

More than a dozen people in strange costumes walked behind him with a arrogant expression.

These people are martial arts masters who protect him in close proximity.

The prince climbed up to the platform, looked around the officers who were kneeling neatly on the ground, and said loudly: "The Sunny Empire is rich and vast, and the number of people is at the forefront of several surrounding empires. However, our court is corrupt and bureaucrats, and the military power is even weak. They have been attacked by the empire many times, and the people on the border live in the heat of water."

He paused slightly, and his tone became helpless: "This is all because of the sister of this prince, the eldest princess of the current dynasty! She used beautiful women to confuse her father, used fine wine to destroy her father's will, and divided the imperial power that should have been concentrated into two. From then on, the court was in chaos, all officials were distrustful, and the people were full of complaints about the court. Therefore, the prince decided to revive today. In order to revive the court and to restore the blue sky of the people in the dawn, he would eliminate the treacherous villains beside his father, and ask the father to take over the court again, so that the sun-powered empire that should have been powerful will return to the ranks of powerful countries!"

When the passionate words were finished, all the officers shouted in unison: "The prince is wise! The prince is wise!"

The prince looked at the officers in front of him with satisfaction, and there were many civil servants, all of whom were on their side.

"Next, let General Zhang Zhong announce the edict of Qing dynasty and the ten crimes of the Grand Princess!"

Zhang Zhong slowly stood under the prince's high platform, unfolded an edict, and began to read it.

Each of these armies is divided into three teams, front, middle and back.

The prince walked out of his private house and rode a pure white tall horse, with Zhang Zhong following him.

"Set off!"

The vast team drove towards the palace.

The team of thousands of people brought by Gu Zhengang has long been mixed in the team of princes attacking the South Gate.

Zhang Zhong gently pinched his horse's belly, walked a few steps to the prince's side, and whispered: "Your Highness, the old minister still thinks to report to your prince if you have something."

"What?" The prince's expression remained unchanged, his mouth moved slightly.

Zhang Zhong was about to speak, but looked at the surrounding troops and hesitated, "Do we really want to kill all the big guards?"

"This question doesn't seem to come from your mouth." The prince chuckled, "No one left."

Zhang Zhong nodded, feeling a little uneasy.

--------

Grand Princess Palace.

At this time, the originally empty hall was filled with trembling singing girls and zithers, and in front of the hall were several female guards wearing red brocade clothes, long swords and a solemn expression.

The eldest princess sat calmly on the bench, looking like a sense of majesty with a light wind and a light cloud, and holding the world alone.

"I saw that you were trembling all over."

As soon as these words came out, all the singers and zithers knelt on the ground, and their upper bodies were even tightly against the ground.

"Your Highness, your Highness, you can let us go because you have been serving you for many years." A piranha said in a crying voice.

"Please beg the eldest princess!" Everyone in the hall shouted in unison.

Many timid dancers even cried.

The golden curtain on the eldest princess's face shook slightly and she chuckled, "What? You all know that the prince raised an army to attack the palace today?"

The zither lying on the ground was helpless. They served the royal family all year round, and they had long heard of the prince's uprising. Now the prince's army is about to invade the palace.

If the prince saw that they were still serving the eldest princess, he would definitely take his anger on them and his head would be in danger.

These singers and zithers make a living by relying on their skills. They are not loyal to anyone, and they will serve whoever is in power.

Seeing that these people didn't say anything, the eldest princess spoke again: "Do you think this palace will be killed by the prince?"

These words were a little cold, and everyone in the hall was so scared that they shivered.

"I dare not." The psychic tutor was still the one who spoke, "but we are all artists and don't want to be involved in the royal struggle in public. Please ask the eldest princess to be kind and let us go out."

The eldest princess smiled, "You are talking really."

The pianist hesitated slightly, "Is the eldest princess willing to let us go?"

"Haha, let's go, as you said, you are just artists." The eldest princess smiled, "I want to be quiet early in the morning."

The piranha and dancer in the hall were as if they were granted a general amnesty and immediately stood up and walked out.

"Swish!"

The female guard at the hall gate drew her long sword.

The piranha and dancer who walked to the door were shocked and frightened, "Is it that the Grand Prince's murderer venting his anger?"

"Da Die, let them go." The eldest princess said lightly.

The one guarding the inner door of the palace was Dadie who had changed into a brocade dress.

"Hmph!" She put away her long sword and allowed the piranha and dancer to leave.

At this time, a palace maid walked to the center of the palace anxiously and knelt down and said, "Your Highness, the princess, the prince's army has arrived at the south gate of the palace and is about to attack."

"Haha, let them come. I want to see if the prince is powerful or our Lord Qi is powerful." The eldest princess smiled.

At this time, all the female guards looked at the eldest princess in admiration. At the moment of life and death, the eldest princess was as stable as Mount Tai, without any panic, and even started drinking boldly...

You know, at this time, Qi Tian arranged a team in the palace, less than 10,000, while the prince had a guards of 150,000!

--------

The prince's army came to the palace gate.

"Huh? Who are those?" the prince frowned.

Zhang Zhong and other generals also looked at the black armored legion lined up in front of the palace gate with curiosity.

"Their armor is very strange." Zhang Zhong observed carefully, "a bit like the legendary Iron Scorpion."

"Iron Scorpion?" the prince exclaimed, "Aren't they from thousands of years ago?"

Zhang Zhong shook his head, "They're just dressed like this, but definitely not. The Iron Scorpion has only one thousand soldiers, but they have two thousand people."

"Where did they come out?" The prince was a little confused, "Isn't the city lockdown a few days ago?"

Zhang Zhong was also surprised. He also read the registration book for the city entry within two months. There was no large-scale light and strong man entering the city.

The prince glanced at Zhang Zhong angrily, thinking that he had not done a good job in locking down the city, and someone must have entered the imperial capital by taking advantage of the troubled waters.

"General Zhang, no matter who is ahead, I will annihilate all of them!"

Zhang Zhong was stunned and immediately realized that the prince was angry.

In the past, the prince only called him Zhong Bo, but now he called himself General Zhang. The meaning of alienation is very obvious!

"The front army obeys the order and kills them all, and no one is left!" Zhang Zhong shouted.

"call!"

Twenty thousand soldiers immediately raised their shields and set up their spears to advance forward.

But what they unexpectedly expected was that the black armored soldiers in front of the palace gate neatly retreated and then leveled with the palace gate.

Zhang Zhong frowned, so that the number of guards would be advantageous.

Soon, the two armies intersected and fought each other in close combat.

However, the soldiers in black armor are obviously much more well-trained than the Guards.

They stood up a rectangular shield half a man high, and two triangular raised objects below were inserted directly into the land. The spear in their hands stabbed them hard at the exposed area of ​​the Guards.

On the other hand, the Guards, in terms of strength, combat quality, including armor, etc., are much worse than these black armored soldiers.

In an instant, the first row of guards all fell to the ground screaming. Moreover, the spears of these black-armored soldiers were different from ordinary spears. They had three tiny blood-letting hooks on them, and each soldier who was shot was bleeding profusely.

When the black-armored soldiers saw that all the guards in front of them fell, they then neatly pulled up the long black shield, crossed the fallen first row of guards, and continued to attack the second row of guards.

The Guards, who were lying on the ground, were immediately killed by soldiers from the second row.

The prince, Zhang Zhong, and the generals were soldiers from the central region. When they saw the well-trained black-armored soldiers ruthlessly massacred the Guards, they all felt cold in their hearts.

Everyone thought to themselves, "These black-armored soldiers are too strong."

In a blink of an eye, 20,000 soldiers in the front army suffered one-quarter of the casualties, with a total of five thousand people.
