Chapter 207 Seizing Power (9)
"When the Fourth Prince is almost exhausted, we will mobilize troops to enter the palace to eliminate the bandits. I'm afraid that the Zhenwei Marquis is also on guard against us now. One of his troops should attack us from the rear. Let's get rid of them first!"
"Great! This time we have defeated Marquis Zhenwei and suppressed the Fourth Prince in one fell swoop, which is just the right time to eliminate future troubles for our lord!" Sima Qing clapped his hands happily and immediately went to prepare.
After four o'clock in the morning, an army of 80,000 people rushed to the rear of the Black Flag Army camp overnight, ready to fight at night.
Eighty thousand against thirty thousand Black Flag Army, even though they are elite troops, it is still very difficult!
This is a completely plain area with no mountains to rely on, and it's a completely close combat, so naturally the more troops you have, the more advantage you have.
Sima Qing was so anxious that he scratched his head and said, "Brother, there are so many of them. If they start fighting, we will suffer heavy losses!"
Zhan Wei smiled slightly and said, "No, it looks like there are 80,000, but in fact there are less than 40,000. They are just bluffing. They just ordered each soldier to carry two torches and disperse. It looks like the number of people is doubled. They are trying to suppress our morale first."
Sima Qing laughed when he heard this: "Old Duanmu is quite smart, but he is much weaker in front of my brother!"
Zhan Wei just smiled and said nothing. After a moment, he said, "Order the troops to disperse into small square formations, with large shields in one or two rows, spears in three rows, and archers in the middle! Cut off their long formations and defeat them one by one!"
"Yes!" A uniform voice came from the darkness.
Then, a fire suddenly broke out in the Black Flag Army, and a battle broke out in the dark night!
Wei Ning was sitting in the tent listening to the deafening sound of fighting outside, the confusion of men and horses, and the screams that filled the air.
This was her first time to experience an ancient war. After all, experiencing it in person was different from seeing it on TV.
The strong smell of blood in the air made her, who had killed countless people, feel nauseous. The pregnant Princess Qingtong vomited directly.
This is the real cruel world, cold-blooded and cruel.
Let her understand more clearly that strength and weakness are the rules and iron laws here.
Zheng Tianbao saw that they were all feeling uncomfortable. He knew that the prince and princess were both royal children and would inevitably feel uncomfortable after going through war, so he poured them two cups of hot tea.
"Your Highness, drink some hot water."
Wei Ning shook his head and frowned, waiting for the movement outside.
After destroying the people here, Zhan Wei will lead the rest of the troops to go to the capital to defend the king immediately. This time, Marquis Zhenwei has definitely underestimated the combat capability of the Black Flag Army.
But the arrow is on the string and he has to shoot. If he doesn't take action here and waits for the regent to mobilize more troops, he will die without a burial place!
If we try now, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
Although he was mostly deceived, he also had to have a rebellious intention to be deceived.
Seeing her in a daze, Zheng Tianbao wanted to find something to say, so he asked with a smile: "When did Your Highness doubt my identity?"
"Since you came , but I wasn't sure who sent you. I was only sure after I saw you dancing with a sword in the yard that day." Wei Ning came back to her senses and looked at him and said.
There was a faint light in her eyes, which seemed to reflect a person's inner heart.
Zheng Tianbao smiled , so that's how it was, but then he thought about it and it didn't seem right, so he looked up and asked, "Your Highness the Crown Prince knows martial arts?"
Didn't the prince have no spiritual power since he was a child? How could someone without spiritual power see the hidden tricks he was using when dancing with the sword?
Wei Ning looked at him with her bright eyes and smiled slightly. Zheng Tianbao's heart suddenly sank and he had a bad premonition.
