The prince's personal bodyguard

Chapter 119 Confrontation between the 2 armies

After breakfast, Bai Xinyin took Mei Jiu and Qing Dai out in simple clothes. The housekeeper learned that the main battlefield of the two armies was at the East City Gate, so they headed straight for the East City Gate, and Ah Dai naturally followed them at high speed.

A breeze blew on the east gate wall, bringing a slight chill. The guards saw that it was the Ninth Princess, and because Mu Yunxiao had already made arrangements, they did not stop her.

Bai Xinyin climbed up to the top of the city wall and looked into the distance. He saw Mu Yunxiao wearing armor and holding a command flag, standing there with a serious expression. His posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his temperament was as steady as a mountain, like an unshakable mountain.

She walked over, greeted Mu Yunxiao, and asked if he needed help.

"Not for the time being. I will speak up when I need you. Now, Ayin, just watch."

Bai Xinyin nodded and did not disturb Mu Yunxiao. She just stood not far away and waited for the opportunity to arise.

At the foot of the city, Changsun Di led a large number of troops and arranged them in an orderly formation. Their flags were flying, their swords and spears were standing, exuding a powerful pressure.

Chang Sun Di rode a tall horse, waving a spear in his hand, and cursed at the defenders on the city wall. His words were full of provocation and insults.

Facing Chang Sun Di's shouting and cursing, Mu Yunxiao remained unmoved. He quietly observed the enemy's formation, with wisdom flashing in his eyes.

A moment later, he raised the command flag in his hand and issued a series of orders. The soldiers on the city wall immediately took action to prepare for the upcoming battle.

"Listen, people on the city wall, quickly release the Queen and the Crown Prince, maybe we can spare your lives. Also, hand over that bastard Princess Nine, I heard she's pretty, why not offer her to our General Changsun..." A deputy general next to Changsun Di shouted and cursed loudly, and some soldiers next to him also laughed and made a fuss.

Before he could finish his words, suddenly, a cold light flashed, and then an extremely sharp arrow rushed away like lightning! When everyone was shocked, they saw Mu Yunxiao standing steadily on the city wall, holding an exquisite crossbow in his hand, his eyes as cold as frost, staring straight ahead.

Instantly, there was a dull "puff" sound, and the arrow hit the deputy general's throat squarely. Suddenly, a stream of scarlet blood spurted out and splashed on the ground, forming a shocking blood flower. The poor deputy general didn't even have time to scream, and fell off the horse's back, hitting the ground heavily, and there was no movement anymore.

This sudden scene shocked everyone present. They turned pale with cold sweat on their foreheads. The originally noisy scene suddenly became silent. Everyone held their breath and watched everything in front of them in horror. They were secretly glad that they didn't show off their strength just now, otherwise they might be lying on the ground now.

At this time, Mu Yunxiao was holding the imperial sword, which symbolized supreme power. His eyes were firm and sharp, as if they could penetrate people's hearts. At the same time, a strong internal force gushed out of him and was transmitted to everyone's ears through his voice: "The queen has lost her moral integrity and repeatedly made serious mistakes; the prince is even more corrupt and dared to embezzle the huge amount of money used for disaster relief! However, today I think of all of you who have been deceived by the treacherous people. As long as you repent in time, no longer be deceived by the treacherous officials, and take the initiative to put down the weapons in your hands, you can forgive the past. If you still insist on doing it, you will be severely punished, and even the whole family will be implicated!"

His words exploded in everyone's ears like thunder, shocking everyone present. Some soldiers who were originally hesitant began to waver. They looked at each other, not knowing how to make a decision.

Seeing this, Chang Sun Di secretly thought that it was not good, fearing that the morale of his own army would be disrupted. So he made a prompt decision, drew the sword from his waist, slashed it forward, and placed it across the horse's back. Then he raised his voice and shouted loudly towards the city wall: "Everyone on the city wall, listen to me! Fifteen years ago, I spared your lives for the sake of the queen, and handed over the beautiful country to the tyrant. But who knew that the dog emperor didn't know what was good for him, listened to the words of the treacherous ministers, and caused the queen to be banished to the cold palace, and even the prince could not protect himself! Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven, eliminate the treacherous ministers in the court, and protect the legitimate throne of the prince!"

Before he finished speaking, Chang Sun Di turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Listen to my orders! Follow me into the city, drive that tyrannical monarch out of the court, and support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne and become emperor!"

“Protect the Crown Prince to ascend the throne!” “Protect the Crown Prince to ascend the throne!” “Protect the Crown Prince to ascend the throne!” For a moment, the crowd was excited, and deafening shouts resounded through the sky, sweeping over like a surging wave!

I have to say that Chang Sun Di really knows how to win people's hearts.

"Set up the formation, attack!" With Chang Sun Di's order, rows of soldiers were neatly arranged on the vast battlefield, forming a line like a long snake. They held shields and weapons, standing closely together, forming an indestructible line of defense.

The team held their heads high, like a snake's head, leading the entire formation forward. The soldiers behind them lined up in order, their bodies swaying like the swaying of a snake's body. They walked steadily, maintaining a tight formation, not giving the enemy any chance to take advantage.

"A long snake formation!" Mu Yunxiao whispered.

The adjutant next to him couldn't help but gasp.

It has to be said that Changsun Di is very capable in military affairs.

Under the command of the commander, the Long Snake Formation can flexibly change direction and quickly respond to changes on the battlefield. It can directly attack the enemy's defense line, and it can also bypass the enemy's flank or rear and launch an unexpected attack.

The long snake formation has become a terrifying presence on the battlefield with its unique shape and powerful combat effectiveness, making the enemy feel helpless when facing it.

At this time, Mu Yunxiao secretly gave orders to gather the artillerymen and line them up in a row on the city wall.

Following Mu Yunxiao's order, the artillerymen began to get busy. They quickly loaded gunpowder and shells, and then used a fire stick to light the fuse. With a huge roar, the artillery sprayed flames and thick smoke, and the shells streaked across the sky like meteors, flying towards the enemy camp.

When the shells hit the ground, there is a huge explosion and shock wave.

What kind of long snake formation was it? It was blown apart in several places in an instant, and the long snake formation was broken into several sections. The soldiers of Changsun Di's army had never seen such a formation before, and for a while they cried like ghosts and wolves, and they were at a loss as they saw the heavy losses.

Chang Sun Di's eyes widened in astonishment. He could never have imagined that he had tried so hard to persuade these soldiers to follow him in the rebellion, but in the end, they would end up like this! Was all this going to fail like this?

No, absolutely not! Chang Sun Di was filled with resentment and resentment. He could not accept this cruel reality.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chang Sun Di hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat. In an instant, the originally aggressive army retreated rapidly like a tide.

"Your Highness, should we take advantage of the situation and pursue them?" The deputy general at the side came forward and asked Mu Yunxiao for instructions.

Mu Yunxiao stood firmly on the tower, staring coldly at the retreating enemy troops, and said in a deep voice: "No need, pass on my order, all troops must strictly guard the city!"

Although the deputy general had some doubts in his heart, he did not dare to neglect Mu Yunxiao's military orders in the slightest and immediately took the order and left.

Bai Xinyin watched everything that happened in front of her quietly, without saying a word. There was neither joy nor worry on her beautiful face.

Qing Dai beside him whispered: "Why didn't the prince pursue the victory?"

"Qingdai, we really know very little about marching and fighting. However, the prince must have a deep meaning and consideration for such deployment. Why don't we go and ask and see if we can help."

"Yeah, okay!" Qingdai nodded in response, showing her agreement, but her eyes still revealed a hint of confusion and puzzlement.

At this moment, Mu Yunxiao was standing quietly not far away, listening to the conversation. He couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart: "The only one who understands me is A Yin!"
