The young couple from the farm fights back

Chapter 146 The Battle Between the Three Armies Begins

Inside the city gate, Prefect Wei and Judge Yang led several runners and waited in front of the city ladder. Finally, they saw the oncoming soldiers. When they recognized Xiao Ce, who was riding in the lead, their old eyes couldn't help but turn red.

I thought to myself: Good, good!

The eldest son lived up to Mr. Xiao’s trust!

"Sir~" Prefect Wei stepped forward and bowed to greet him.

Xiao Ce hurriedly dismounted from his horse and personally helped Prefect Wei to his feet: "Master Wei, please don't be polite. Please stand up quickly."

Yang Tongpan looked up at the general in front of him. Governor Chen's wound had been simply bandaged, and one of his hands was hanging in front of his chest. It seemed that the previous battle in the city was extremely dangerous.

Xiao Ce turned around and introduced Zhou Chunfeng and the other lieutenants, "Jingzhou Prefect Wei is my father's most beloved student. These days, thanks to his unwavering support, I've been able to obtain intelligence reports about Jingzhou City."

Zhou Chunfeng and other deputy generals bowed and saluted to Lord Wei: "Lord Wei."

"Greetings, generals." Prefect Wei quickly bowed in return.

When he looked up again, he saw Prince Lu being brought to him with his hands tied behind his back. He stared at him with bloodshot eyes and was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. If it weren't for the rag stuffed in his mouth, he would probably curse him to go to hell.

Prefect Wei was a civil servant after all, so he subconsciously looked away.

The roar of artillery fire outside the city gate was deafening. Governor Chen stepped forward and said, "Sir, I will lead the way for you."

Xiao Ce nodded and smiled heartily: "Okay!"

After saying that, he turned around and waved to Zhou Chunfeng and others. Everyone and the soldiers climbed up the city wall from the ladders on both sides.

Outside the city gate, Wang's army and Huai's army were fighting fiercely. King Huai put almost everything into it and was determined to take over the Central Plains area around Jingzhou City. Wang's army was slightly weaker in combat power, but it could not withstand the large number of imperial soldiers and generals.

Then there was the Lu army defending the city. The three armies had been fighting for a long time, and the gate of Jingzhou was smoked by artillery fire and there was not a single clean spot. If it were not for the strong city wall, I am afraid it would have not been able to withstand the battle for the city gate.

Boom, boom, boom~

Suddenly, several artillery shells hit the artillerymen of the Huai Army and Wang Army more accurately. In an instant, screams were heard everywhere.

The Prince of Huai killed many of the King's soldiers and looked up in anger. He saw the flag of the Prince of Lu's army flying through the billowing smoke and falling from the city wall.

Prince Huai's heart trembled, and when he looked again, he saw that the rebel army's banner was actually planted high on the city wall.

This scene not only shocked Prince Huai and his personal soldiers, but also startled the royal army.

What the hell? When did the rebels enter Jingzhou?

No, they had been fighting at the city gate for many days and were about to break through the gate of Jingzhou. How did the rebels get in?

"Fire!" Xiao Ce waved his hand and fired multiple artillery pieces downwards in succession.

The two enemy armies could not help but retreat. King Huai thought about the fact that his fiefdom was gone and the Jingzhou City he had been longing for was intercepted by the rebels, so he wondered if he should be angry!

"Fuck him, attack the city for me!"

"Yes, kill~~"

Under the current circumstances, Wang Jun couldn't care less. What kind of rebel army was this? They couldn't even defeat Wang Jun, yet they had actually taken Jingzhou City before them.

Generals Zhou Chunfeng, Deputy General Xie and others ordered their men to fight back, using arrows, falling rocks, artillery and other means.

The enemy armies on both sides risked their lives to build ladders on the city wall, but unexpectedly, just as the soldiers climbed up two steps, pots of boiling hot oil poured down.

"Ah, ahh!"

The soldiers who were splashed with hot oil rolled on the ground in pain. This was more deadly than killing them.

The Lu Wang army that had been defending the city wall was captured one by one by the rebels who arrived.

Seeing with his own eyes that the fiefdom passed down from his ancestors was occupied by the enemy army and the military flag that had been hanging for nearly a hundred years was casually discarded, King Lu wished he could eat Xiao Ce alive.

At this time, a soldier wearing the armor of the deputy general of the Lu army came up to the prefect of Wei and said, "Sir."

Prefect Wei nodded, knowing that everything was ready.

When King Lu saw the deputy general, although he didn't know which unit of his personal guards he belonged to, he recognized the military uniform on him.

Prince Lu was so angry that he kicked him. Governor Chen pressed the blade on his neck with one hand as a silent warning.

Prefect Wei came to Xiao Ce's side and said, "Master, the 10,000 soldiers lurking in the county are just outside the city, waiting for your dispatch at any time."

Xiao Ce was obviously surprised and looked into the distance. He had no idea that the prefect Wei was so capable under the nose of King Lu of Jingzhou.

I couldn't help but look at Wei Zhifu with new eyes. He was a brave and resourceful civil servant. My father really didn't make a mistake in him. "Good!"

He looked at Zhou Chunfeng, and the two exchanged glances. Zhou Chunfeng immediately ordered, "All soldiers, listen to my orders."

"Yes."

"Follow me out of the city to fight."

Following Zhou Chunfeng's command, the city gate that had been closed for a long time slowly opened amidst the smoke.

Seeing the city gates open, Prince Huai and his army generals were like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey, ready to attack immediately.

Unexpectedly, just as they finished speaking, a large number of soldiers rushed out of the city gate: "Kill——!!!"

Zhou Chunfeng, Lieutenant General Xie, Lieutenant General Xiao, Lieutenant General Qin, and Yang Tongpan, who was not wearing armor, led more than 10,000 insurgents and continued to pour out of the city.

At the same time, another round of horse hooves and murderous sounds came from behind. The soldiers and horses that continuously rushed into the two formations made Prince Huai and his army generals dumbfounded.

Well, the rebels actually have a lot of reinforcements outside the city!

Of course, Wang Jun and King Huai had a lot of soldiers and horses, but after fighting hard battles for many days in a row, how could they compare to the rebel army and reinforcements who were in their prime and full of energy.

The real three-way battle began at this moment!

Among all the heroes in the world, who doesn’t want to dominate the Central Plains?

You must know that whoever wants to conquer the world must first conquer the Central Plains!

For many years, Emperor Qing of the current dynasty tried every possible way to take back the fiefdom of Prince Lu, but failed.

The King of Huai was even more jealous of the fact that the King of Lu's fiefdom occupied all the rich and prosperous land in the Central Plains. Moreover, the ruler in power was incompetent and lazy, so who wouldn't want to sit on the throne of the world?

The power struggle that has been undercurrent for nearly a decade has finally erupted!

Xiao Chengxiang originally died in order to persuade Emperor Qing to reform the ruling mechanism as soon as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to curb the two warlords.

Although Emperor Qing was incompetent, he was the successor supported by Prime Minister Xiao. However, Emperor Qing was willing to trust the treacherous ministers and forced the loyal Prime Minister Xiao to death.

It was Emperor Qing's move that chilled the hearts of Xiao Gong's disciples across the states, including Lord Wei, the prefect of Jingzhou City.

When Lord Wei learned that the rebel army was organized by Xiao Ce, the son of Lord Xiao, he began to plan secretly.

The 10,000 soldiers and horses outside the city were reinforcements from the people that he had painstakingly organized, avoiding the eyes of King Lu. The deputy general who led the reinforcements had once received a favor from the prefect Wei, and was willing to serve the Wei family and follow the rebels.

Prince Lu, who was suppressed by Governor Chen, looked at the battle outside the city gate. A trace of contempt and disdain flashed in his old eyes. He did not believe that the rebel army could repel Prince Huai's army outside the city.

However, the reversal of the situation often only takes a moment under the right timing!
