After Prince Gong received the imperial talisman, he saluted and exited the Golden Palace.
At the same time, in the Golden Palace, Prime Minister Gongsun Hong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the courage of the third prince is beyond our reach!"
"Or... maybe, we misjudged him!"
As soon as the Prime Minister spoke, many people followed him.
They all spoke up and said good things about Prince Gong.
Nanhuang nodded knowingly and sighed: "Yes, I was wrong! I thought he was weak and incompetent. Who would have thought that he would be able to take on such a big responsibility at such a juncture!"
"I owe him something!"
Although there was now an opportunity to talk about the establishment of a crown prince, Gongsun Hong did not mention it.
He just kept praising Prince Gong.
The ministers were impressed by this humble third prince...many people sighed in their hearts that they were inferior to others!
At the same time, the empress is here.
Fan Shicheng made his own decision without waiting for any reply from Nanhuang.
That is, the Southern Army will not be allowed to enter under any circumstances.
Soon, the army led by Xu Mingfeng had arrived at Niangniang Pass, and the crowd was covered in darkness and stretched endlessly, giving people a sense of oppression.
When Fan Shicheng and other guard generals saw the Confederate army outside the pass, their expressions hardened.
At the same time, my heart seemed to be weighed down by a mountain.
"General, what should we do if they start attacking this problem?"
"Yes, this is too many people!"
"How about we just let them in, just go with the flow and be a favor?"
The people around Fan Shicheng spoke.
Faced with a war that was impossible to win, they did not want to fight.
Fighting back and forth, the final result can only be death.
It is better to be a person who understands current affairs...
Fan Shicheng's face darkened and he said word by word: "Our responsibility is to guard the Queen's Gate. Now that we have retreated and let them pass, how can we explain to His Majesty?"
"Can't let them pass!"
As a veteran, I am very principled.
"this……"
"But in this situation, once the Second Prince and others start to attack, can we hold on?"
"Yes...yes!"
"Old General, now is the time when the Second Prince's momentum is strong. We should stand in line!"
People around me continued to persuade.
After hearing what everyone said, Fan Shicheng's face changed completely and he shouted, "Xu Mingfeng is a traitor and a traitor now, shall I become a traitor and traitor too? Also, if anyone dares to talk nonsense again, be careful with the knife in my hand.
!Okay, order all the soldiers to defend the Niangniang Pass!"
The lieutenants around me had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
Each and every one of them was extremely helpless.
There are 400,000 troops in front of them, and they only have 5,000 defenders in the pass... Although Niangniang Pass is dangerous and can be defended, but then again, how long can it be defended?
It's just an egg hitting a stone!
There was no other way, the soldiers guarding the city were all ready for battle, their swords were sharply sharpened, and their arrows were already on the bowstrings...
At this time, Xu Mingfeng rode a war horse and led a group of lieutenants slowly forward. He said loudly: "Old General Fan, long time no see!"
Fan Shicheng did not give Xu Mingfeng a good look, and snorted coldly, "Yeah...it's been a long time! I didn't expect that when we meet again, it would be like this!"
Xu Mingfeng smiled half-heartedly, "To be honest, I didn't expect it either!"
Fan Shicheng was silent.
Xu Mingfeng continued: "Old General Fan, the Northern Army wants to use a way, please be accommodating to make it easier!"
"Okay!" Fan Shicheng agreed, "But you have to produce His Majesty's imperial edict or a handwritten letter!"
Xu Mingfeng's eyes darkened slightly, "So, General Fan refused the Northern Army's entry?"
Fan Shicheng said: "I hope the second prince will not let us get into trouble!"
Xu Mingfeng's voice suddenly turned cold, "In that case, there's nothing more to say!"
"If I let this queen stay out of the pass, won't I be laughed at by everyone in the world?"
"Zhang Xing, break the barrier!"
Zhang Xing, the first vanguard of the Northern Army, rushed out.
He had already lost his patience and couldn't wait any longer...
"Yes, General!"
Fifty thousand vanguard battalions quickly formed their formation.
Zhang Xing raised his arm, lowered it, "shoot the arrow..."
The next second, a hail of arrows rose into the sky, sweeping towards the gate tower with a force that swallowed the entire sky.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Boom boom boom!
All shot into the tower.
Facing the majestic rain of arrows, they were unable to resist and could only find bunkers and hide in Tibet.
Many of them were pricked into hedgehogs before they could react and fell into a pool of blood.
This wave of arrows frightened the defenders in the city, and they were all heartbroken.
Because the two sides are not on the same level at all.
Fan Shicheng and others were hiding in embarrassment, not daring to show their heads at all.
"General...General, we are no match for the Second Prince, so let's forget it!"
"There are no reinforcements, and there is no way to defend this Niangniang Pass!"
"Yes...yes!"
"Switch it on!"
Originally, Fan Shicheng was still a little insistent, but after this wave of arrows, his heart began to waver.
After hesitating for a while, he finally chose not to resist.
He slowly stood up a spear with a white flag hanging on it.
When Zhang Xing and others saw the white flag, they all stopped and said, "General, they raised the white flag. Do you accept their surrender?"
Xu Mingfeng said: "Accept!"
"yes……"
Only then did Zhang Xing order the Pioneer Battalion to lift its combat status.
Fan Shicheng and others showed their heads one after another and said in unison: "We surrender... We choose to surrender and stop shooting arrows!"
"Hurry up and turn the switch on to welcome the second prince!"
"Welcome the Second Prince!"
This sound soon resounded throughout the entire Niangniang Pass.
Xu Mingfeng naturally heard it and sneered in his heart, these people really didn't shed tears until they saw the coffin!
Just like that, after a while, Fan Shicheng and others took off their armor and walked out of the Empress Pass.
All of them had their heads drooped, not daring to raise their heads.
Xu Mingfeng looked at Fan Shicheng and did not add insult to injury, but said calmly: "Old General, I have a lot of good wine here, and I want to taste it with you!"
Fan Shicheng was stunned for a moment, "Yes..."
Xu Mingfeng did not embarrass them.
There were some hiccups, but overall it went smoothly.
After passing Niangniang Pass, the Northern Army had an unobstructed journey. When they passed some cities, they had not arrived yet, but the city gates were already wide open, and they started to greet them early.
After marching for about half a month, we arrived at Yecheng.
This city was built particularly magnificently and was a fortified city on the plain.
Now, the city gate is closed...
Xu Mingfeng and others were greeted all the way along the way, but after arriving in Yecheng, their appearance changed. To be honest, it was quite surprising.
Zhang Xing stepped forward again and said loudly: "The second prince is leading the Northern Army back to Beijing. Why don't you hurry out of the city to greet him?"
The voice fell.
The soldiers on the tower had all expressionless faces and did not listen to their words at all.
Almost ignored.
This made Zhang Xing and others stunned, "This..."
