Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

The cavalry galloped quickly to pursue the fleeing communications reconnaissance veteran

Hong Xiuzhi chased while holding the bow in his hand.

The long arrow was shot out and directly hit a fleeing cavalryman.

The cavalryman was shot off his horse and fell dead.

The other four veteran communications reconnaissance soldiers did not stop running away. The five of them led Hong Xiuzhi's team of a thousand-man guards into the preset ambush pocket.

"Haha! A few eliminated veterans! When you followed King Zhenbei, you were destined to have this ending today."

The five communications reconnaissance cavalrymen were quickly shot dead. Hong Xiuzhi showed no mercy.

"I didn't bring a crossbow this time, but I didn't say we can't bring a longbow! Hahaha!" Hong Xiuzhi said happily.

He had to obey the order of Emperor Dingwen, who said he could not bring military crossbows, but the means of long-range attack were not limited to military crossbows.

The reason why Hong Xiuzhi dared to do this is,

He could sense that Emperor Dingwen had a complicated attitude towards King Zhenbei, and he could also sense that Crown Prince Hongze had murderous intent towards King Zhenbei Hongxuan.

"All the guards, listen up! Hunt down these guards of the King of Zhenbei!"

"The Emperor has ordered that the Prince of Zhenbei has committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor! Arrest Prince of Zhenbei Hongxuan and take him back to the Dali Temple dungeon."

"Here!"

Every young guard was extremely excited. They had never chased a prince before. This was the first time for them to have such a mission.

The captain of the communications corps, Yu Deshen, hid in the bushes and saw that the group of guards did not take the other fork in the road.

Only then did he feel relieved.

If this army of a thousand people took the wrong path, then even he himself would have to risk his life to lead them back into the pocket formation.

Hong Xiuzhi chased all the way.

He saw that there were more cavalrymen ahead:

He shot at them without hesitation, without even thinking that there was a pocket formation waiting for him ahead.

They chased all the way and found that except for the few cavalrymen they had seen before, there were no other soldiers.

The personal guards led by Hong Xiuzhi passed the ambush hidden by Peng Fulai, the captain of the Xuanwu team.

Peng Fulai, who was hiding in the bushes, watched this scene with great joy in his heart.

He gestured to the Xuanwu team members, asking them not to make any noise and to hide themselves completely.

Finally! Hong Xiuzhi entered the pocket formation. They chased forward and found that only one or two cavalrymen ran away when they saw them.

Until this thousand-man guards rushed into Shuangtou Mountain.

In the Twin Head Mountain,

Hongxuan stood on the mound that blocked the road. The mound was three feet high and horses could not pass through at all. The original plan was to use wooden guardrails.

But after thinking about it, he decided that wood was too fragile and not very safe, so he simply built a fortress with stones and earth.

The guards sent to pursue Hongxuan all entered the pocket formation. When they saw the end of the road, they found that Hongxuan was standing on the high earthen wall with his sword drawn and his horse ready.

Hong Xiuzhi finally saw Hongxuan.

"You, the sinner Hongxuan, deceived your majesty with your eloquence in the Hall of Supreme Harmony! Your majesty has specially ordered me to arrest you and take you back to the dungeon of the Dali Temple! Anyone who dares to stop me from executing the holy order will be killed without mercy!"

Hongxuan laughed after hearing this:

"Haha! How dare you, Hong Xiuzhi! Not only did you forge the Holy Order, but you also kept killing my personal guards. Are you really that bold? I'm giving you one last chance. Put down your weapons and put your hands on your heads. If you dare to resist, I will not show you mercy."

"Put down your weapons and put your head in your hands?"

This was the first time Hong Xiuzhi had heard such words: "Follow my orders! Capture the King of Zhenbei."

"Well, since you are so stubborn, I will be rude to you! Kill!"

Hongxuan gave an order.

call out!call out!call out!

Arrows rained down from both sides, and the guards brought by Hong Xiuzhi fell to the ground one after another. Hong Xiuzhi was horrified and realized that he had been ambushed.

"No! No! There's an ambush! Get off your horse!"

But before he could react, two hundred guards holding long swords suddenly appeared from the high earthen mound.

These guards looked at Hong Xiuzhi with cold and ruthless eyes.

"How is that possible? There are ambushes on both sides, and there are ambushes on top of this earth rampart."

The personal guards sent by Hong Xiuzhi were all horrified and lost their minds.

Arrows were fired at them from three directions.

They fell one after another.

At this moment, Hongxuan and his guards suffered no harm at all, and the enemy could only see the veteran guards on the high earthen ramparts.

They couldn't see the ambushes on the mountains on both sides.

These veterans showed no mercy. After all, they had survived the brutal battlefield, and killing was nothing to them.

The arrows fell and even Hong Xiuzhi was injured.

There were arrows shooting at them from both sides and in front, and they had nowhere to escape and could not hide at all.

Soon, only a few dozen of the thousand pursuing guards were left.

All the others fell to the ground, including Hong Xiuzhi, who was shot to death by arrows.

After dozens of rounds, all the arrows of the personal guards led by Hongxuan had been shot out.

Of the more than a thousand guards who pursued them, only a few dozen survived.

And these dozens of people fled in panic.

When these dozens of people escaped from the pocket formation, the members of the Xuanwu team wiped out the last remaining soldiers.

Hong Xiuzhi never thought of it.

As a general soldier, his final outcome will be like this.

He didn't expect that Hongxuan could lead the wounded and veterans with such powerful strength.

I originally thought that the two sides would confront each other and fight hard, but until I died I never saw the scene of the enemy rushing towards me.

The thought before death was that King Zhenbei was too scary.

I didn't expect he had such superb command ability.

"All the teams must clean up the battlefield and take away all the property and weapons they have obtained.

Leave all the food and horses to my princesses Murong Yan and Murong Qin!"

"Here!"

After this battle, all the guards were full of admiration for Hongxuan.

His command and military talents have been deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.

The guards of Murong Mansion worked particularly hard to clean up the battlefield, because all the spoils had to be handed over to them.

After sweeping the battlefield, they obtained three hundred war horses and one thousand military swords.

These military knives are very expensive, and can be sold for an average of three hundred taels of silver.

Hongxuan ordered all his subordinates to dig a huge pit and bury the guards who were shot to death by arrows.

After doing all this, Hongxuan once again led the team back to Wutonggang.

This time he gained enough at a very small cost.

"This battle alone completely established Hongxuan's reputation."

This scene was seen by all the secret guards in brocade clothes on the hillside, and there was a deep shock in their eyes.

I never thought that a battle could be fought this way.

The guards led by Hong Xuan suffered almost no losses, while the guards led by Hong Xiuzhi were completely wiped out.
