The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 702 The Night
"Dizzy? Hmph... What a waste!"

Looking at the person lying on the ground, Zhao Weiheng was full of disgust. He still had a lot to say, and he seemed really disappointed right now.

Being persecuted by Zhao Weilong, Zhao Weiheng had too much resentment in his heart, and just now he cursed out all at once, which made him feel better.

As long as Zhao Weilong can be defeated, it is not a big deal to recognize a thief as an uncle, not to mention that Zhao Yanxun is not a thief in Zhao Weiheng's view.

The Yong army is strong, and the court can't stop it at all, which means that he, the ninth uncle, is destined to be the emperor.

So right now, hugging Zhao Yanxun's thigh is the guarantee of his good life in the future.

In fact, the matter of hugging the thigh was also involved, and his other two uncles also begged for this errand today.

The reason why it fell on Zhao Weiheng's head was because his identity was more special.

All the brothers betrayed the emperor, and they were willing to follow King Yong to beg against the thief, which further showed that Zhao Weilong was a thief who killed his father and king.

Knowing his core competitiveness, Zhao Weiheng will naturally firmly grasp the opportunity and carry the flag of rebellion behind Zhao Yanxun.

"Come here, drag this guy out and chop him!"

After Zhao Weiheng finished speaking, two guards came in from outside the hall.

One of them reported: "His Royal Highness, follow the instructions of the prince, and send this person back to the other side!"

Originally, he wanted to kill people to vent his anger, but when he heard that Zhao Yanxun had already made arrangements, Zhao Weiheng immediately said: "Then don't delay, send people back quickly, Uncle Jiu must have deep meaning in such arrangements!"

"Yes!"

In fact, it was Zhao Weiheng who really thought too much, and Zhao Yanxun didn't have any deep meaning at all.

He has unprecedentedly powerful military force, and when the boat is built, he can beat the Han River in one go, without any need to play tricks.

Qiu Youxian, who fainted to death, was sent out of the city by the guards, and finally handed over to Yang Yingyuan and others.

Seeing Qiu Youxian's appearance like this, Zhang Yuanying and the others thought he had been tortured, although they were annoyed, they dared not speak out.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of the guards, they left the west bank in the boat.

After leaving the shore, Zhang Yuanying immediately checked Qiu Youxian's situation.

Immediately he was very surprised and said: "No injury!"

Zhao He was full of puzzlement: "What the hell is going on?"

Zhang Yuanying said helplessly: "We can only ask King Ling after he wakes up, but looking at him like this... who knows when he will wake up!"

Zhao He said, "It's a blessing in misfortune to come back alive!"

After saying this, the two looked at each other speechlessly, feeling extremely heavy in their hearts.

Now that the imperial court is in trouble at home and abroad, they are influenced by Qiu Youxian, and they also start to worry about the country and the people.

Soon, their boat docked and was spotted by patrol soldiers after a while.

After confirming his identity, at the request of Zhang Yuanying, the general banner leading the team dispatched several strong soldiers to carry Qiu Youxian to Donghe Mansion.

…………

Time passed quickly, and a few more days passed in a blink of an eye, and the days entered June like this.

In the past few days, as the ships of the Yong army were almost built, several confrontations broke out between the two sides.

The imperial court pieced things together, and added a group of civilian husbands into the army, gathering nearly 13 troops, stretching for nearly [-] miles on the east bank of the Han River and stationed there.

It seems that there are many people, but there are too few soldiers capable of fighting, and they are passive in defense.

The several attacks launched by the Yong army destroyed the opposite defense line every time. Fortunately, the surrounding army provided timely assistance and barely beat the Yong army who crossed the river back.

These few small-scale battles were Zhao Yanxun's further testing of the official army before the real war started.

The army of fifteen guards in his hand was stronger than the imperial army, but it would not be much stronger than that.

Therefore, the five guards of the Western Front Army, especially the two guards cavalry, are not a small threat to the Yong army.

Although Zhao Yanxun also has cavalry, Dahe is useless at all.

Although he is very confident of winning this battle, Zhao Yanxun does not want to win miserably, which is undoubtedly a failure for him.

Therefore, before the official battle begins, he must make a final investigation.

…………

On the fifth day of June, before dawn.

On the west bank of the great river, at least seven or eight places were lit up almost at the same time.

This is a set of signals, and the person who receives the signal is on the east coast.

Under the cover of night, Liu Enfu squatted in the grove, and said to several subordinates beside him: "The war is about to start, tell the brothers, fight immediately!"

"Yes!"

As several of his subordinates dispersed, Liu Enfu became more and more excited.

Once the war started, defeating the imperial army would not be a problem, and he would not be far from returning home.

Of course, at the moment of this great battle, Liu Enfu only felt a little bit of emotion, and he regained his composure and rationality.

At this moment, the task of him and his subordinates is to pull out the light and dark posts sent by the government and army.

The guards of the Northern Army did not rest for a day after diving through the Han River one after another. In order to find out all the details, they spent a lot of effort and suffered a lot.

The fixed-point removal they are in charge of tonight means that this battle has officially begun.

They only have one hour to complete the task, and if these posts do not report the situation after a long time, the officers and soldiers will also be vigilant.

Although the Northern Army of the Guard Division are all second-level soldiers, they also have great difficulties in completing this task.

The difficulty of this task is not to kill the sentry soldiers, but to ensure that there are 130 and eight points, each of which cannot be mistaken, and the master must not be aware of it.

Therefore, at this moment, not only Liu Enfu was worried, but the hearts of the other thousands of households who received the order were also worried.

The killings are in full swing here, and the Yong army on the west bank of the Han River has imposed martial law on the river bank.

No soldier is allowed to act without Zhao Yanxun's order.

This is to prevent the spies from Xi'an from reporting.

At this moment, the guards are making intensive preparations at the places they are responsible for.

As for the officers at the commander level, in addition to inspecting the preparations of their subordinates, they also have to repeatedly emphasize the battle plan after crossing the river.

Right now, there is only one hour before dawn, so they don't have much time.

The guards are preparing, and the four full-staffed Thousand Households of the Sinan Army of the Guards are also making final pre-war preparations.

In this decisive battle, the four thousand households will be the vanguards, and they will be the first to go to the opposite bank to build a line of defense, waiting for the main force to arrive.

Liu Enfu and others pulled out the sentries of the officers and soldiers in order to prevent the Yong army from being discovered by these sentries during the preparation stage.

The Han River is only a few hundred meters wide, and it takes about [-] minutes to cross the river. Here it all depends on the time difference.

As long as the officers and soldiers on the other side have not discovered the situation when they start crossing the river, they will be considered to have won an initial victory.

But at this moment, everything is still planned.

Half an hour later, the west bank was ready and was waiting for a signal from the east bank.

After another ten minutes, in the silence on the west bank, the lights on the east bank were finally turned on.

Seeing the signal, Zhao Yanxun, who was sitting on the front line, gave the order to launch an attack.

In this attack, only nine infantry guards were used, and the remaining infantry guards and cavalry were specially responsible for preventing harassing zombies.

They all gathered on the shore, which would naturally attract a large number of zombies, so Zhao Yanxun had to divide his troops.

Of course, these nine guards are all elite soldiers, so as long as they line up smoothly after crossing the river, Zhao Yanxun thinks it will be no problem to defeat the official army.

Following his order, the ships of the guards headed to the opposite bank, and hundreds of small boats suddenly appeared on the river, full of soldiers crossing the river.

The first batch of people to cross the river was naturally the Si Nan Army who served as the vanguard.
