Chapter 287 I don't mind mad dogs barking(1/2)
In the past, only those who were excluded from the Guards would be transferred to other cities to serve as city guards.
It’s like Lin Guodong who died. He offended his superiors and was demoted to Yunhai City.
But at this moment, many soldiers wanted to take the initiative to transfer from the Guards, and would rather be demoted than to join the army in Yunhai City...
"I heard that Yunhai City is no worse than the Imperial Capital City." The soldier said again.
Another soldier was really interested, "not only is it no worse than the Imperial Capital City, but it is even much stronger. I heard that the people, soldiers and officials in Yunhai City are all family members, and that is the richest place in the mainland."
"kindness…"
When An Lushan and Jirigalang confirmed that there was no more survivors in the field, they counted the team and returned from the west of the city to assist Uncle Jiu's city guards.
--------
Imperial capital city, gate on the north side of the palace.
The gate to the north is similar to that to the south, and there are also two thousand soldiers wearing black armor garrisons.
The guards attacking the north gate were also as in the south, with countless casualties.
If someone could stand on the top of the palace now, he would see that the upper and lower sides were covered with blood, which was very bloody.
The general who commanded the northern guards was a young man named Jiang Tong, who was only thirty-one years old. As for why he could command an army of 30,000 at a young age, it was because he had an uncle named Zhang Zhong.
Jiang Tong was frightened at this time. He had never seen such a bloody killing.
Before this, Jiang Tong only resisted to encounter sporadic guards, but unexpectedly, the two thousand black armored legion was firmly guarding the north gate and killed thousands in an instant.
These two thousand black armored soldiers were like demons coming out of hell, with their hands rising and falling, without any mercy or kindness, but only ruthlessness and indifference.
"General, what should we do now?" an adjutant asked Xiang Jiangtong.
"I..." Jiang Tong didn't know what to say. This was his first time in a battle and he had been in a mess.
The adjutant looked at Jiang Tong's confused and slightly green face and felt helpless, but he was a general of the northern guards after all, and he had to issue any orders.
The adjutant had some combat experience. After thinking about it, he suggested: "It's better to wait for the southern palace gate to break through first. These black-armored soldiers will definitely withdraw their assistance. When we can then cooperate with the southern army, right?"
Jiang Tong seemed to have caught a life-saving straw and nodded and said, "You are right, we will be stalemate with them. When the city gate in the south breaks, we will cooperate inside and outside, and there will be an army of 60,000 in the south!"
The adjutant looked at Jiang Tong and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "The generals of the Imperial Legion are all people like Jiang Tong, no wonder they always suffer defeat."
The southern palace gate.
At this time, the front army hesitated and neither continued to move forward nor dared to retreat.
The prince was very angry, "General Zhang, where is General Pang Hai? Let him come and reinforce quickly!"
Zhang Zhong looked embarrassed. This was what he wanted to tell the prince before, but there were many people around him and he didn't say it. He wanted to wait until the palace was captured before talking, but it would not work if he didn't say it now.
"Prince, General Pang Hai did not come, and the special envoy we sent out yesterday did not come back."
"Why is this happening!" The prince was shocked, "Didn't he already arrived in front of the city gate yesterday?"
"I don't know this old minister." Zhang Zhong was also puzzled. Pang Hai did station an army outside the city with 150,000, and the spies had seen it.
But now it's almost noon, so there is no movement at all, and even the special envoys sent out have not come back.
"Don't care!" the prince shouted, "No matter how strong they are, there are only two thousand people. We are a 60,000 army. I ordered you to suppress the entire army. No matter what, you must break through the palace gate! The father is still waiting for me!"
Zhang Zhong looked entangled. He looked around the guards around him. At this time, the soldiers all looked fearful of war on their faces. It was obvious that they had lost their aura. Can such an army still fight?
"General Zhang, what are you doing? You won't order an attack yet!" The prince frowned, his eyes showing anger.
Zhang Zhong sighed. He never expected that tens of thousands of troops would be blocked by two thousand people in front of the palace gate. It was really a loss before the arrow was exhaled.
He raised his hand, "The whole army obeys the order..."
"etc!"
Just as he was about to order the entire attack, a shout suddenly came from the front of the palace gate.
In an instant, everyone looked at the door in confusion.
The black-armored soldier in front of the palace gate made a way out, and a man wrapped in silver armor was slowly walking out.
At the same time, he also held something similar to an edict in his hand.
Under the sunlight, the silver armor shines with an extremely dazzling luster, which makes people think that the God of War descended from the earth from the sky!
The prince narrowed his eyes and looked at the silver-armored general who walked out coldly, "Who are you?"
The man in silver armor walked to the front of the black armored soldier and stopped, then took off his helmet and shook his hair.
"Qi Tian! Is it you?" the prince exclaimed, "Shouldn't you be in the prison!"
He looked at Zhang Zhong next to him again, with a strong sense of blame in his eyes.
Zhang Zhong was embarrassed and silent again. He did not tell the prince that the news of Qi Tian's escape that day.
He felt it was unnecessary because Qi Tian was just a person and did not have any army in the imperial capital, so it would never cause any trouble to the prince's uprising.
But now, Qi Tian didn't know where he created so many black-armored soldiers with amazing combat power out of thin air and intercepted the prince's tens of thousands of troops outside the palace gate. This was something he could never imagine.
Qi Tian smiled slightly, "It's me!"
"All these soldiers are your people?" The prince looked at the black-armored soldiers.
Qi Tian nodded, "That's right, they are all the city guards of Yunhai City, but their armor has been improved by me."
The prince's eyes shot out with resentment, "I really don't eat the toast and eat the punishment! Today is your death date!"
After hearing this, Qi Tian laughed "haha" as if he heard the ridiculous joke in the world!
"Why are you laughing at?" the prince asked coldly.
Qi Tian stopped smiling for a long time, "I laughed... because of a thief who threatened to kill a dignified general of the country!"
In an instant, there was an uproar!
Qi Tian slowly picked up the edict in his hand and slowly unfolded it. "The emperor ordered Qi Tian to be the general of the country to protect the country, mobilize all troops and officials in the empire, and quickly quell the prince's plot to rebel against the rebellion. I respect this!"
This sentence was like a thunder, exploding among all the officials and soldiers.
"What? The prince actually raised an army to rebel against the rebellion?"
"Isn't the prince clearing the lord? Why did it turn into a rebellion?"
The soldiers looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you.
Although they acted according to the orders of the prince, the prince was not an emperor after all. They were the imperial army and only listened to the emperor.
Although those civil officials and facial features had long known what the prince’s uprising was, their faces were still very unnatural when they said it.
The prince riding on the big white horse suddenly became extremely ferocious and roared: "You are talking nonsense! I am here to clear the emperor today by the orders of my father! How could the father quell his son?
Zhang Zhong also felt something was wrong, so he immediately pointed at Qi Tian and scolded: "This edict is fake, Qi Tian! You dare to forge the emperor's edict. The whole army obeyed the order and killed him immediately!"
But before the army could take action, Qi Tian took out a bronze medal from his arms and said lightly: "Mr. Zhang, have you seen this?"
This bronze medal shines with a dim luster under the sunlight, which is the emperor token given to him by the eldest princess.
Zhang Zhong could see the emperor token in Qi Tian's hand at a glance, because he had seen this token and even kept it for the emperor for a while, but...
But did the emperor really ask Qi Tian to suppress the rebellion of the prince?
Dad wants to kill his own son?
The prince's expression became more gloomy and solemn.
Qi Tian saw the expressions of the prince and Zhang Zhong, and smiled slightly, "What, do you don't even recognize the emperor's token?"
He suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Seeing the emperor's token is like seeing the emperor. Haven't you kneel down and wait for the order?"
"No! Absolutely no! The father will never kill me!" The prince suddenly yelled like crazy.
Why did he revolt?
It’s not because I suspect that my father is better to my elder sister than to me.
But now the father actually issued an order to kill him. For a moment, his grievance, reluctance, anger and other emotions burst out at the same time!
Zhang Zhong looked around and knew that he could not hesitate anymore at this time. He had to take a gamble, otherwise it would be completely finished.
"The emperor token in Qi Tian's hand was stolen from the emperor! The emperor had no idea. All the soldiers followed my orders and attacked and killed Qi Tian!"
He almost roared, hoping that his voice could shock the soldiers around him.
But what everyone unexpectedly thought was that the soldiers of the front army did not raise their weapons, but instead looked at him in a complicated manner.
"We are soldiers of the empire, not soldiers of the prince, nor soldiers of your Lord Zhang!"
"You are doing this to rebel, and we will use our lives to rebel!"
"We should obey the emperor's orders and eliminate the prince's rebellion!"
At this time, dozens of soldiers from the front army started to shout.
"That's right! We are loyal to the empire and the emperor, how can we listen to a judge!"
"If my life is to be compensated for the rebellion, I will not only confiscate my house, but also destroy the nine clans!"
They were watched by the military officers on the battlefield as if they were driving ducks on the shelves. When they saw a turnaround, they immediately agreed.
