Chapter 312 Battle of the North Gate of the Imperial Capital [1]
"Then~~Then I'm tired too, and I want to rest!" Shangguan Feng bravely raised his head, looked at Ye Xiang seriously with his big watery eyes, and slowly stood up: "I want you to do that too~
Hold me like that."
Without any hesitation, Ye Xiang picked up Shangguan Feng and then bent down to hug her.
"Fortunately, my bed is big enough, otherwise I really don't know what to do." Ye Xiang hugged Shangguan Feng and gently placed her next to Nangong Piaoxue, but he thought helplessly in his heart.
"I~~I want to go back to the sect." Ye Xiang had just put Shangguan Feng on the bed, but Nangong Piaoxue sat up with a blushing face.
"Lie down and have a good sleep." Ye Xiang looked at Nangong Piaoxue and said domineeringly: "No one is allowed to leave today."
"Why do you care about me so much!" Nangong Piaoxue muttered softly. Looking at Ye Xiang's firm eyes, he didn't know why he couldn't think of any resistance in his heart, so he slowly lay down on the bed again.
Ye Xiang pulled the quilt on the bed and covered the three beauties. Under Nangong Piaoxue's nervous gaze, he slowly sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her and said softly: "What? Are you afraid that I will take advantage of you?"
"snort!"
Nangong Piaoxue only felt her pretty face getting hot. She didn't dare to look at Ye Xiang anymore. She turned her head and closed her eyes tightly and soon fell asleep.
At this time, Shangguan Feng was already fast asleep.
After letting out a long breath, Ye Xiang stood up, opened the door and walked out.
"Ye Xiang!! You~~you're okay~~!" Seeing Ye Xiang appear in front of his eyes, Feng Piaoling, who was standing at the door, suddenly felt a surge of surprise in his eyes.
"I'm fine." Ye Xiang looked at the surprised Feng Piaoling and nodded slightly and said, "How long has it been?"
"Five days have passed since you were discovered by us." Feng Piaoling said quickly: "Fei'er and the others have almost never rested in the past few days."
"Where are my uncle and the others?" Ye Xiang asked immediately.
"The Second Prince Liu Jinghui led the Flame Army and the Phoenix Army to surround the imperial capital. The Langston Empire actually mobilized an army of 500,000 for support. At this time, the imperial capital was surrounded by them. My uncle and the emperor were both on top of the city.
He is commanding the imperial guards to organize defense." Feng Piaoling said quickly.
"Did they attack by force? How many casualties did we have?" Ye Xiang asked quickly.
"They attacked for a whole day yesterday, but it was obviously just a tentative attack, and there were not many casualties on both sides." Feng Piaoling replied.
While the two were talking, Ye Jingfeng and Liu Jinglong walked in together.
"Xiang'er! Is your injury healed?" Ye Jingfeng looked at the energetic Ye Xiang with eyes full of incredible surprise.
"Haha, it's okay." Ye Xiang nodded and said.
"Great, we are worried." Liu Jinglong walked up and patted Ye Xiang's shoulder heavily without any airs of a prince.
"Piao Ling, you go and have a good rest first." Ye Xiang said while looking at Feng Piao Ling.
"Okay." Feng Piaoling nodded and turned to leave.
Feng Piaoling and the others were all worried about Ye Xiang these past few days. None of them had a good night's sleep, and they were all really tired at this time.
"Uncle, how is the situation in the imperial capital now?" Ye Xiang turned to look at Ye Jingfeng and asked.
"Hey! The situation is not very good! Let's talk in the living room." Ye Jingfeng sighed and turned around and walked towards the living room.
Sitting down on a chair in the living room, Liu Jinglong said helplessly: "Right now, my second brother has gathered more than 1.3 million people to surround the imperial capital, but now there are only about 20 people in the imperial capital.
Thousands of people, the situation is not good!”
"I was just about to transfer the Mad Lion Legion back to the Imperial Capital." Ye Jingfeng sighed and said, "But the Mad Lion Legion is too far away from the Imperial Capital. I'm afraid I won't be able to get back in a month."
"Has the Second Prince made a strong attack in the past two days?" Ye Xiang thought for a while and then asked.
"Not yet." Ye Jingfeng shook his head and said: "The sudden appearance of the 100,000 Tiger Legion made them worried. He has been testing the defense situation in the city for the past two days, but I think they will attack in the next two days.
."
Ye Xiang lowered his head and thought for a while but then asked again: "I wonder if there are any imperial guards from the former Northern Governor among the troops attacking the city?"
"Yes, they are still serving as vanguards." Ye Jingfeng replied.
"At which gate of the imperial capital are they attacking?"
"North Gate."
"Did they attack today?"
"They attacked for a while in the morning and again after noon. At this time, they had no more attacks."
"I want to go visit the North Gate." Ye Xiang stood up as he spoke.
"I'll go with you." Liu Jinglong quickly stood up and said.
"You are the emperor of the empire now, so you should go back and take a rest." Ye Xiang said with a slight smile.
"How can this be possible?" Liu Jinglong said quickly: "How can I enjoy my own comfort when I see the imperial soldiers swearing to protect the imperial capital? Besides, my appearance in front of the soldiers at this time will definitely boost their morale."
"That's fine." Ye Xiang thought for a while but agreed with Liu Jinglong's point of view.
After walking around the north gate of the imperial capital, it was already dark when Ye Xiang returned to the Duke's Mansion.
Liu Jinglong did not return to the palace.
In the past few days since Ye Xiang was seriously injured, he had been resting in Ye Jingfeng's mansion at night.
"Ye Xiang, why did you go to the North Gate today to learn about the situation?" Liu Jinglong sat in the living room and looked at Ye Xiang and asked in confusion.
"Tomorrow we will find a way to attract the imperial guards who originally belonged to the Northern Governor into the city." Ye Xiang said with a slight smile.
"How do you plan to arrange it?" Liu Jinglong asked quickly.
"Of course I took the initiative to attack." Ye Xiang said with a slight smile.
Early the next morning, Ye Xiang arrived at the military camp at the north gate of the imperial capital.
"Master Ye, what are your orders?" Several generals walked in from outside the tent and looked at Ye Xiang and asked respectfully.
He raised his head and glanced at the generals who came in, but Ye Xiang only knew one person. This person was Kuang Tianlong, the eldest son of Kuang Tianyu, the commander of the Tiger Legion. At this time, Kuang Tianlong was the general in charge of the security of the north gate of the imperial capital.
A large map was spread out on the table. Ye Xiang called several generals to him and said to Kuang Tianlong: "Today, if the enemy takes the initiative to attack again, if the Northern Governor's Guards are still the vanguard, you
We will leave the city immediately to fight."
"Let's get out of the city!! Isn't this very dangerous?" Kuang Tianlong said hesitantly: "If the enemy attacks us in a large scale and we are too late to close the city gate, the consequences will be disastrous!!"
"In the past few days, the enemy is just trying to explore the strength of our city's defenses while consuming our patience. They will not really attack in a large scale." Ye Xiang smiled slightly and said: "Of course, if their rear troops are too close to the vanguard, we will have to
Change strategy.”
"My subordinates understand." Kuang Tianlong immediately nodded and said, "I wonder if you have any clever arrangements now?"
Ye Xiang smiled slightly and then said: "The enemy's vanguard must be the heavily armored knights at the front, followed by the Imperial Guards."
"Not bad." Kuang Tianlong nodded quickly and said.
"When the enemy attacks today, we will first arrange for five thousand heavily armored knights to go out of the city to meet the enemy, followed by ten thousand imperial guards." Ye Xiang said with a smile.
"It's too late for us to retreat!!" Kuang Tianlong said with a frown.
"Today's battle is about to be defeated but not won." Ye Xiang said with a slight smile: "I sent these 10,000 imperial guards out of the city just to disrupt them when you retreat, so that our defeat will be very obvious, and
The pace of retreat must be very slow, and the enemy will pursue it with all their might without suspecting a deceit."
"Then what?" Kuang Tianlong asked quickly.
"Twenty thousand imperial guards were deployed at the top of the city, and all were prepared with thundering stone and rolling wood archers. When all the enemy's vanguard troops entered the city, the army behind them must have thought there was an opportunity and would attack the north gate with all their strength."
"At that time, the 20,000 imperial guards at the top of the city will do their best to organize their advance and close the city gate as soon as possible."
"As early as last night, I had secretly mobilized the Tigers' 100,000 elite troops to ambush around the streets outside the North Gate. Once these enemy vanguard troops enter the city, none of them will be able to get out again."
"It turns out Mr. Ye has already made arrangements!!" Kuang Tianlong nodded quickly and said, "Then let's go make arrangements now."
After a detailed deployment, Kuang Tianlong immediately led a group of generals out of the military tent.
@@@
In the middle of the morning, Ye Xiang and Liu Jinglong stood on the top of the North Gate and watched.
At this time, the enemy troops besieging the city were ready to attack.
Sure enough, it was still the same as the previous two days, and those at the front were the imperial guards from the north gate of the former imperial capital.
Five thousand heavily armored knights rushed at the front, followed closely by 30,000 Praetorian Guards. Far behind, the enemy army stood still.
With a slight smile, Ye Xiang said to Kuang Tianlong behind him, "Brother Kuang, go out of the city to meet the enemy!"
"yes!"
Kuang Tianlong loudly agreed, turned around and left quickly.
