Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

Zhou Dun - so this is the big net waiting for him?

The commander of the Xu family army frowned, and the spear in his hand trembled slightly. The running and fighting day and night these days had already consumed most of his energy.

Now he still had one breath left to hold on, and he knew very well that his physical strength had reached its limit. If he had not reached the gate of the imperial city, he would have asked his soldiers to set up camp and catch his breath.

Crossing the long bridge was not a good thing for them. On the contrary, they had to continue attacking the city at great risk.

Zhao Changlin stood up with the help of her hands on the chair. Her figure appeared on the city wall. She was wearing a red soft armor, which was particularly eye-catching. The leather was buckled from the wrist to the collar.

She raised her hand, looked down at all the soldiers, parted her red lips, and said only two words.

"Broken bridge."

The shadow guard captain standing nearby heard the order, drew the long sword from his waist, unsheathed the black blade, and pointed it to the sky.

"Broken bridge!"

His voice was like a loud bell, and his ink-black sword faced the wind and snow, conveying His Highness's will.

Zhou Dun had been waiting for a long time. He waved his flag, which was particularly conspicuous in the wind and snow, inspiring the people. He replied loudly, "I obey your order!"

"A team of people made an exception!"

"Standard formation!"

"Team Two, make an exception and bend your bows!"

"Three teams of men are ready to break the bridge!"

His flag was flying as he directed his soldiers, who were divided into three teams. The first team needed to form a semicircle and tightly surround the entrance and exit of the bridge to prevent anyone on the bridge from breaking through.

The second team drew their bows and arrows, responsible for shooting the soldiers who tried to rush out on horseback. The third team was ready to use a special guillotine to forcibly cut the chains that secured the iron bridge.

The third step was the most difficult, because the iron bridge over the Yong River was the last line of defense of the imperial city, and directly behind it was the city gate, so even the biggest corrupt official would not dare to cut corners on this.

The black iron used to make the iron bridge is of top-notch quality. If hundreds of people had not rushed in and used special tools, even the king of heaven would not have been able to break it.

Team One and Team Two were both there to buy enough time for Team Three. His Highness had already agreed this with him, and he had reminded him of this time and time again, so Zhou Dun dared not disobey.

The late emperor had given a lot of support to his teacher, and his teacher had taken good care of him, so how could he betray him?

What's more, his title of garrison general was hereditary, so he naturally could not tolerate such an attempt to usurp the throne. Even if the current princess was a woman, as long as the late emperor approved of her, she would be the legitimate crown prince.

If I give birth to a daughter in the future, the title of garrison general will naturally be passed on to her. How can I let that foolish nephew get the advantage?

As a reinforcement of the Death Sentence Army rushing to the front line, Zhou Dun was very confident in himself. The first reason was that the Moxi Army was good at fighting in mountainous and hilly areas. They were more familiar with the mountains and fields than the Xu Family Army and the Loyal and Brave Marquis, who had been fighting on the grasslands for many years.

So the chances of winning are even greater.

Don't underestimate the difference in terrain. It's like this when marching and fighting. If you make the slightest mistake, you will be doomed.

"Humph! What a good trick to lure you into a trap!"

"No wonder the prince suffered a setback at the hands of His Highness!"

The sword that was hovering over the head of Xu's army's chief finally fell down. He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the chilly air filled with snow and wind.

"Forget it! Forget it! Since you have revealed your cards, I will no longer be polite!"

"My ancestors were accused of a crime that they never thought of, and I must clear them of the injustice!"

He raised his head one last time and looked at the woman on the city wall who was surrounded by men in black armor, and he couldn't help but admire her.

Being able to remain calm in the face of danger to this extent, there are probably not many people who can do this. To be fair, he thinks Zhao Changlin's courage and insight are greater than that of Emperor Wande.

The foolish old emperor only knew how to have children. He was licentious, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and he promoted treacherous ministers and indulged in wine and sex.

It was truly a misfortune for the Liang Dynasty to exile such loyal ministers and capable generals!

If that dog Emperor Wande was still in power now, he would have led the Xu family army with spears and charged straight in, scaring the city away long ago.

Go south to the south of the Yangtze River and establish a new capital.

Surrounded by beauties on both sides, eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks, he never wanted to leave.

Zhao Changlin looked at the Xu family army with great interest, who were not at all panicked under the imperial city, and thought to himself that the Xu family army was worthy of its reputation and had been passed down for generations.

Even though there was an element of slacking off on their own part, they were still able to advance all the way here, and even defeated the army of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, so they were still a sufficiently well-trained, brave and combat-capable army.

If there is still room for reconciliation in this battle, we can consider incorporating the Xu family army and improving the garrison of the Xu family army into the first line of defense against the barbarians. I think it should be a good decision.

But it all depends on how he chooses.

The conditions that King Wen could offer to Xu's army were just empty promises, but she could really provide immediate benefits.

"All officers and men obey orders!"

"Xu Guang! You stay here and continue the siege!"

"Xu Yi! Come with me to stop the Moxi Army from breaking the bridge!"

He swung the spear in his hand, grabbed the reins, and rode away on his horse with a fierce look in his eyes.

The two sides have similar military strength, so today will definitely be a fight to the death.

What's worse is that he doesn't know if Her Royal Highness the Princess has any backup plan. If she does, then...

Thinking of this, he did not think about it any further. As a soldier, the most taboo thing is to pour cold water on himself. He knew the importance of morale.

"Order!"

Only two voices of reply were heard, and they separated on horseback, with their red-tasseled spears fluttering in the snow, and they rushed to the center of the iron bridge.

A fight is about to begin.

"Follow my command! Shoot!"

Zhou Dun, riding a tall horse, waved a flag. A thin layer of snow had accumulated on his maroon helmet. His gestures changed, and the sound of breaking through the air was heard continuously.

Thousands of arrows fell like rain, breaking through the snow and turning it into a dark mass.

"Shield soldiers make an exception! Hold shields!"

"Set up the formation!"

He brought almost all his belongings with him this time. He didn't have many shield soldiers, but fortunately they were well-trained and showed no fear in the face of such a battle.

The shields formed a defensive line on the iron bridge to resist the fierce attack from the other side of the bridge. In the first round of arrow rain, they only lost a few soldiers who failed to dodge in time.

In particular, the head coach of Xu's army was like a stabilizing force, stabilizing the morale of the troops.

"Archers! Put away your bows! Line up!"

"Prepare!"

Zhou Dun changed the red flag again and commanded his archers to change their shooting positions.

……

"Your Highness, this stalemate is not a solution. The Moxi Army was able to reach Yonghe so quickly. I'm afraid they traveled lightly, right?"

Standing on the city wall, Nuo Zimu, who had not expressed anything for a long time, finally stepped out. He took off his helmet, clasped his hands together and saluted.

There was admiration in his eyes.

He knew Zhou Dun's own strengths and weaknesses. The bandits and robbers guarding Moxi were okay, but they were still a little lacking in skills when it came to fighting. His ability to deploy troops must have been taught by another expert.

And who is this “expert”?

Naturally it goes without saying.
