Chapter 814: Counterattack, the winner is king

More than 200,000 Jinwu Guards were stationed outside the city. If there was any action, it was impossible for the emperor’s people not to know.

These people can come without alarming the emperor’s eyes and ears, so they were naturally not the main force, and there will not be too many of them.

At this moment, only a few thousand people were rushing over. These thousands of people were arranged by Xiao Tianyao in advance.

The emperor’s people didn’t know that Xiao Tianyao still kept such a trick, and they didn’t react until they hit the gate of the city.

“Defend the city, defend the city! You must guard the city gates, and don’t let them in.” The Jinwuwei Army was famous, and the generals defending the city were timid before fighting, so they handed over Xiao Tianyao to the 100,000 forbidden troops below, and then concentrated on defending the city, leaving only half of the siege crossbow for the opponent to use.

“Let the arrows go, don’t let them approach.” The generals defending the city were afraid of the Jinwuwei Army from the bottom of their hearts, and guarded the city gate tightly from the beginning, for fear that the Jinwuwei Army would attack.

“What about catapults and trebuchets? Don’t let the Jinwuwei Army approach the city gate, even half a step away.” The generals defending the city concentrated their firepower and concentrated on dealing with the Jinwuwei Army.

After several confrontations, the generals defending the city were secretly relieved when they saw that the Jinwuwei Army did not attack. There were only more than two thousand people, if two hundred thousand troops arrive, he has no chance of winning at all.

However, the general who defended the city was too happy. He defended the city gate but missed the big fish.

“It’s not good, it’s not good… Xiao Wangye, Xiao Wangye is out of the city!”

“Xiao Wangye? Hurry up… release the arrow, Xiao Wangyeis out of the city.”

Xiao Tianyao, under the siege of the hundred thousand Forbidden Army, led Lin Chujiu out of the city in full view and quickly joined the Jinwuwei Army.

“Out of the city? Didn’t I tell you to guard the city gate? How did Xiao Wangye get out of the city?” The general’s face turned pale, and there was no joy on his face from forcing back the Jinwuwei Army.

Their goal was never to repel the Jinwuwei Army, but to take down Prince Xiao!

“We were fighting with the Jinwuwei Army just now, and Xiao Wangye run away without letting us notice it.” The people under him realized that it was their mistake, and they were all crying, wishing for time to come back. They will guard the city gate and prevent Prince Xiao goes out.

“It’s over, it’s over, it’s all over now.” The general’s legs soften and he fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Compared with the Jinwuwei Army, Prince Xiao was the most important thing. If Prince Xiao was gone, what else were they going to fight?

“General, we can’t be chaotic. The most urgent thing is to send troops to chase. There were only a few thousand people around Xiao Wangye. If we can take them down before dawn and prevent them from joining the rest of the Jinwuwei Army, we still have a chance of winning.” The deputy stepped forward and pulled the general up hard.

Now was not the time to mess around, they still have the possibility of winning.

“Yes, yes, yes, chase, chase, chase after them quickly. Don’t let Xiao Wangye join the Jinwuwei Army” The general finally came back to his senses and decisively ordered his men to chase. At the same time communicate with the imperial army, and see what their decision would be.

Under the siege of 100,000 troops, Prince Xiao was still able to escape. The generals defending the city were responsible, as were the 100,000 forbidden troops. What else could they do? Of course, they followed suit.

“Leave 90,000 people to guard the city, and others will chase after them. If there is news, send a message immediately, and I will send people to support.” The commander of the imperial army did not dare to send all the people out of the city.

They were the only strength in the capital. If they leave, the imperial city will be empty. When Xiao Tianyao kills them, even two thousand people can break through the city.

“Chase!” The city gate opened, and tens of thousands of cavalry lined up, chasing in the direction where the Jinwuwei Army disappeared, running wildly all the way, and finally saw the shadow of the Jinwuwei Army after an hour.

“Hurry up, they are ahead.” The imperial army saw the shadow of the Jinwuwei Army. Each of them seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and kept beating the horses, hoping to catch up with the Jinwuwei Army in the next second.

But no matter whether they were fast or slow, they were always a little behind Jinwuwei Army. And when they were about to catch up, the distance between the two sides will widen again in the next second, and when they were about to lose the chase, the Jinwuwei Army will suddenly appear.

After repeatedly like this, the imperial army knew that they had been tricked even if they were stupid, but they didn’t have the guts to leave people alone.

“These bastards are better than us with horses, so they play with us.” The imperial army was outraged and cursed.

“The Jinwuwei Army is Xiao Wangye’s confidant. Most of the money that Xiao Wang collected over these years was spent on them. How could their equipment be bad?” Someone echoed sourly.

Many people still believed in the crimes imposed on Xiao Tianyao by the emperor. No, it should be said that the vast majority of people believed it. After all, the gold, silver, and jewels copied from Xiao Wangfu were iron-clad like facts, and they cannot tolerate it.

“No matter what, let’s catch up first. We have 20,000 people, so we don’t believe that we can’t defeat the opponent.” Ten fight one, they were imperial guards, and their equipment was not much worse than the Jinwuwei Army. If they fight, the Jinwuwei Army had a chance of winning.

“Chase!” No matter how angry they were, as long as they don’t lose, they must keep chasing until they catch up with the Jinwuwei Army or lose them.

Of course, they will not forget to send a letter to the people in the city, so that they will always pay attention to the movement of the main force of the Jinwuwei Army.

They suspected that Prince Xiao might not be here, and had quietly joined the army. Of course, this was just their guess and cannot be accurate.

They guessed half right. As soon as Xiao Tianyao took Lin Chujiu out of the city, he separated from the Jinwuwei Army. The Jinwuwei Army was responsible for diverting away the imperial court’s pursuers, while Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu quietly camped to join the army.

Although the emperor sealed off the capital, making it impossible to communicate with the inside and outside the capital, the Jinwuwei Army couldn’t be ignorant of such a big move by the Emperor.

The Jinwuwei Army hasn’t made any moves these days, not because they were hesitating and afraid to make any moves, but because they were waiting, waiting for their master’s order.

The Jinwuwei Army’s loyalty to Xiao Tianyao was far more terrifying than the Emperor imagined. The Emperor did not underestimate the Jinwuwei Army, but it was still not enough. In the Emperor’s perception, the Jinwuwei Army would be terrified because of Xiao Tianyao’s failure, and might even take refuge in him, but… …

The fact was that the Jinwuwei Army will never betray Xiao Tianyao. Even if Xiao Tianyao dies, the Jinwuwei Army will still be Xiao Tianyao’s army, and will never become the Emperor’s or anyone’s army.

His Majesty underestimated the Jinwuwei Army and Xiao Tianyao too much. For a person like Xiao Tianyao, unless he was killed on the spot, he would never have missed that opportunity, and there would be no next time in the future.

When the day comes, when the two meet each other in battle, the Emperor may understand this… …
