The king implements benevolent government internally, maintains peace externally, does not enmity with big powers, the people have no worries about conflicts, no natural disasters, peace and prosperity, and the way does not pick up lost things. Such a king is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, who would not say good to him except for the rebellious officials and thieves
Yan Li's simple words deeply touched the tears of the soldiers. If such a good king is lost, who can give them a good life in the future
As soon as Yan Li's words fell, the soldiers began to discuss differently. Yan Li knew that the soldiers were available, so he raised his sword and shouted to everyone: "Anyone who is willing to follow me back to King Qin, please bare your right arm!"
Yan Li's words received a tsunami-like response.
"I do!"
"I do!"
"Go back to King Jingqin!"
The soldiers bared their right arms one after another.
Yan Li looked at General Ma from the corner of his eye: "Have you seen it? This is the heart of the people! If you don't go to serve the king, you will become a sinner forever!"
General Ma bowed his head and listened, not daring to look at Yan Li: "Yes, what Angel Yan said is true!"
Afterwards, Yan Li reviewed all the soldiers of the Southwest Camp, including 10,000 cavalry, 40,000 infantry, 2,000 chariots, 100 siege ladders, 10,000 archers, 10,000 long spears, and 10,000 broadswords. .
Yan Li ordered the cavalry to go ahead and enter the capital as soon as possible.
What Yan Li was afraid of was that the prince got the news, conspired with the generals guarding the capital, closed the gates of the city, and then concentrated their forces to attack the palace.
Therefore, in order to race against time, Yan Li ordered the archers and the soldiers of the ladders to follow closely behind the cavalry, and prepare to attack the city as soon as the gate of the capital is closed.
Yan Li and other soldiers followed at the end.
General Ma and Yan Li were in the same chariot. General Ma looked at Yan Li, seeing that he was calm and calm in the face of danger, he secretly called Qi in his heart.
"Yan Tiantian, can I ask you something? Since you entered the general's mansion, I have a doubt in my heart and I have always wanted to ask you."
Yan Li already guessed what he wanted to ask: "You have doubts about the identity of my king's guard, don't you?"
General Ma nodded: "How can a hero like you be an inconspicuous guard next to the king? I wouldn't believe it even if he was killed. Who are you?"
Yan Li didn't care about his identity: "So what if I tell you, so what if I don't tell you?"
"At least let me understand who defeated me. If it is really a palace guard, I will die with regret." General Ma felt very annoyed. As a coach, he commanded the most powerful army in the country, but he was hijacked by an unknown soldier, which is a great shame.
Yan Li said: "Who told you to die? The king is so benevolent, he will definitely not execute you. At most, he will dismiss you and let you return home."
"Are you really unwilling to reveal your identity?" General Ma asked almost in a begging tone, but Yan Li didn't say anything, which made him feel ashamed and angry at the same time.
Yan Li smiled lightly: "After the rebels are wiped out, I will naturally tell you my identity."
His identity is so mysterious, who could it be
General Ma snorted angrily, turned his face away, and pondered. He thought about many people, but he couldn't think that the "guard" surnamed Yan sitting next to him was actually the emperor of Dajing Kingdom!
In the middle of the march, a fast horse galloped ahead, and the soldier had a small flag on his body, indicating that he was a messenger who sent messages between the front and back.
A burst of dust rose up, "Wow", the reins were tightened, and the horse's front legs jumped up, making a rustling sound. Plop, the soldier jumped off his horse, his face was ashamed, and it was obvious that the horse was running fast and non-stop along the way.
"Tell the horse..." He suddenly remembered that now the southwestern camp is in charge of Angel Yan, not General Ma, "Tell Angel Yan, our cavalry has rushed to the capital, and the gate of the capital is closed, so we will not be allowed to enter the city. The general in front Let me inform Angel Yan, how to deal with it!"
General Ma was even more depressed when he heard the communication soldier change his title.
"Are all the doors closed?" Yan Li asked hastily.
Signal Corps: "All are closed, our cavalry is standing outside the south gate, waiting for orders from Angel Yan!"
It seems that things will not develop according to Yan Li's wish. He had great confidence that the prince would not close the city gate so soon. Now that the capital has become an iron barrel, it is not easy to capture it. What Yan Li is most worried about is Xueer and the king in the palace. How long can the king's guards last? If the palace was captured and the prince hijacked the king to the tower of the south gate, just a word or two would disintegrate the southwestern army outside the city.
There is no other way but to capture the capital as soon as possible.
"You send me an order to ask the cavalry and ladder riders to wait, I will be there soon!"
"yes!"
The communication soldier didn't even have time to take a sip, so he jumped on the horse, raised another cloud of smoke, and quickly disappeared from Yan Li's sight.
General Ma couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, and his words contained sarcasm: "Yan Tiantian, it seems that you, King Qin, have been blocked!"
Yan Li cast a stern look at General Ma: "If you hadn't delayed so much time, we would have joined up with the king's guards by now!"
"Let me guess who you are going to deal with. I think it should be the prince." General Ma said with a smile, "You stole the tiger amulet for mobilizing troops from the prince, and only the prince can order the defense of the city." The generals will close the four gates of the capital."
"If it's really the prince, I advise you to hurry up and capture it! The prince is not so easy to deal with. Now that the king is in his hands, if you continue to be stubborn, you will only become a prisoner!"
If Yan Li wanted to rescue Xue'er and the king, he had to break through the capital before the prince broke through the palace.
"Let's make a bet, shall we?" General Ma was very surprised that Yan Li still had a faint smile on his face.
General Ma looked at Yan Li provocatively: "What are you betting on?"
"If I can't save the king," Yan Li raised the sword in his hand, "take this sword and cut off my head."
Xueer and the king were captured by the prince, what courage does he have to live on!
"Okay!" General Ma liked to drink and gamble all his life, and when he heard that Yan Li wanted to gamble, he was naturally happy, "You have to keep your word."
Yan Li: "What if you lose? I captured the capital and rescued the king, what should you do?"
"I..." General Ma's tongue was tied, "I will disarm and return to the fields!"
Disarming and returning to the fields and cutting off the head, these two bets are somewhat unfair.
Yan Li smiled tolerantly: "Okay, I just hope that you will stop begging the king to forgive you in front of the king and let you continue to serve as an official in the court."
"Absolutely not!" The veins on General Ma's neck burst out, "I am a person who is willing to bet and admit defeat!"
Outside the south gate, cavalry and archers are already in formation. In order to prevent the army in the city from coming out to attack, the convoy and the Changlong army were arranged at the front. Yan Li looked up at the city tower, where the sky was covered by banners and the guards were standing by. The two gates were tightly closed, and there were antlers outside the gates in an attempt to prevent the cavalry from entering the city. As for the suspension bridge over the moat, it has already been lifted. Under the city river, the river is turbulent, and it is three feet deep. Once you fall, you will be drowned if you can't swim.
Looking at everything in front of him, the sadness on Yan Li's face deepened.
The cavalry generals, archer generals, as well as the convoy and long-armed generals all came to ask Yan Li for instructions on what to do next.
Yan Li thought about it: "Perhaps the general guarding the city is loyal to the royal family. Let me talk about it and see if he can open the city gate and let us in!"
Then he came to the bottom of the city tower, in front of the moat, and Yan Li was about to hit his horse forward, when a general suddenly grabbed the reins.
"Angel Yan, further ahead is within the range of their archers, just in case, please angels don't go any further!"
Yan Li just stopped, put his hands on his mouth to make a trumpet, and shouted loudly: "Please speak to the general who guards the city!"
The voice was full of spirit, and when it was transmitted to the towers, the soldiers guarding the city could hear it clearly. So everyone passed on the news to each other, spreading the news that Yan Li was going to talk to the general guarding the city.
