Chapter 918 Except for Jiang Youzhen, everyone else is stupid
At this time, Prince Yuan Ming had already led his men to the South Gate and immediately saw flames rising to the sky outside the city gate. However, these flames were beyond the range of the gun, and his heart sank.
"So many enemy troops?" The other soldiers were stunned when they saw this. The torches connected into a row, illuminating the outside of the city gate.
There was no end in sight. How many troops were there? At least 200,000, right?
"Prince Yuanming, we meet again!" At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the darkness.
Prince Yuan Ming sneered, "Young Master Kang, you really have good intentions! You've been planning this for so long, and now that you've succeeded, you don't need to hide your identity anymore, right?"
"Hahaha! Prince Yuanming, I treated you very well in the past! You have made a lot of money from me in these years!" Hadan laughed.
Prince Yuanming suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Although it was the truth, saying it so openly would be embarrassing. So many soldiers were listening. If they also thought that his collusion with the enemy country led to the siege, wouldn't they hate him?
"Who are you? You made this general fall into your trap!" Prince Yuan Ming immediately changed the subject and roared.
"I am Hadan, the second prince of the Northern Ming Kingdom!" Hadan sneered. He has another name, Luodan!
But these fools don't need to know. After he succeeds, he will appreciate the wonderful expressions of these people.
"So it's you? You from the Northern Ming Kingdom are really ambitious. You sneaked into our Dayun Dynasty with a plan in advance!" Prince Yuan Ming raised his spear, furious.
"So what? It has always been the case that the victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits! As long as we win, the history books will let us write whatever we want. These are all strategies. Do you think the means your Emperor Gaozu used to seize the throne were glorious?" Hadan sneered.
There was laughter from the enemy troops below, who cheered and jeered, holding torches and spears, causing anger to rise in the soldiers on the city wall.
"Hadan! How dare you insult my Emperor Gaozu? What's the point of showing off your verbal skills? If you have the guts, let's have a fight. Do you think this general is afraid of you?" Prince Yuan Ming was so angry that his chest heaved violently as he shouted angrily.
"General, why don't you let me fight? Let's see how capable this Hadan is!" Wang Xiao raised his sword, eager to try.
"Don't be impulsive! They are trying to provoke our anger and make us lose our composure. Even if they want to attack the city now, they won't be able to break in for a while. If they besiege us, then there is no need to worry tonight."
Prince Yuan Ming took a deep breath and turned to look at the soldiers. "Everyone, don't fall for their tricks! Let's just prepare for battle and appease the people in the city!"
"Prince Yuan Ming, where is your archer? I heard that he shot our defending soldier Bart in the throat with one arrow. Why doesn't he come out now? Is he hiding in some corner aiming at us again?" The high priest challenged again.
"Prince Yuan Ming, you should know that the reason we haven't attacked the city until now is not because of how powerful you are, but because your reputation cannot intimidate us.
It's because of your master archer, Lord Jiang Youzhen! Why don't you invite him out for a while? I want to see how powerful his martial arts are!"
"Shameless old man, who are you? Still want to see our Lord Jiang? Are you worthy?" Wang Xiao asked with a sneer.
"How dare you! This is the High Priest of our Northern Ming Kingdom. Who are you? How dare you speak to the High Priest like that?" A young enemy general shouted.
"The high priest of Beiming Kingdom?" Prince Yuanming's face suddenly became solemn. Even the priest of Beiming Kingdom had come.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly came running hurriedly from the enemy army, and then whispered a few words in front of the high priest.
"Good! The time is almost here!" The high priest was overjoyed when he heard this.
"But is it done?" asked Hadan anxiously.
"It worked! He really lost his composure and sent 50,000 men to break out. I have already given the order to the troops lying in ambush nearby to take action immediately."
The high priest was about to clap his hands in joy. He didn't expect that Prince Yuan Ming was so stupid!
"Let's engage in verbal battle with him for a while longer." The high priest smiled somewhat smugly.
"Prince Yuan Ming, let Jiang Youzhen come out!" Hadan shouted!
"Hand over Jiang Youzhen, and I'll leave you an intact body!" Ke Zhenqiu suddenly shouted.
When Prince Yuan Ming heard this, he felt that the voice was so familiar.
"And who are you?" he asked.
"Hahaha! Except for Jiang Youzhen, all the people in your Dayun Dynasty are dumb. Can't you tell who he is? Isn't this Ke Zhenqiu, the second-class candidate in the civil service examination of your Dayun Dynasty?" Hadan laughed with some gloating pleasure.
"What? You're Ke Zhenqiu? You actually defected to the enemy? Are you worthy of your parents? Are you worthy of the court that selected you?"
Prince Yuan Ming was shocked. He didn't expect that Ke Zhenqiu actually had an affair with the enemy country and had completely defected to the enemy camp.
"Prince Yuanming, you are truly unfit to be the commander-in-chief. Your emperor does know his people. Why did he defect? It's because he is originally from the Northern Ming Kingdom!"
Hadan found it funny whenever he thought that the enemy had not even thought of Ke Zhenqiu's identity.
"What? Lord Ke is actually from the Northern Ming Kingdom. Has he been lurking in the Dayun Dynasty since he was a child?"
"How is this possible? How could the Northern Ming Kingdom have been planning this for so long?"
Prince Yuanming and his men were all stunned. It was hard for them to imagine that the Northern Ming Kingdom would have started planning so early.
"Hadan! Why did you expose my identity?" Ke Zhenqiu looked at Hadan with dissatisfaction.
"So what if you were exposed? Do you want to go back to Dayun Dynasty?" Hadan glanced at Ke Zhenqiu and sneered.
"Ke Zhenqiu is the youngest prince of the royal family of Beiming. Of course, he will not pledge allegiance to your Dayun Dynasty. Are you still not awake?"
Hadan shook his head, they were all too stupid. After thinking about it, he felt that it would be more interesting to fight with Jiang Youzhen.
Prince Yuan Ming and the others were shocked again. No one had expected Ke Zhenqiu's identity.
Pei River
The wind was biting cold. It was already three o'clock in the morning. Although it was still cold, the frozen river surface showed some signs of warming up.
The ice was much thinner, making it extremely difficult to march on it. When Captain Tong led his men here, there was no one there.
"Sir, what's going on? Isn't the enemy army besieging the city?" a captain asked in confusion.
"Impossible! We clearly saw flames all over the sky before we came here, how could there be no one there?" Others questioned.
"Then why is this place deserted? If there are no enemy troops defending this place, what kind of siege is it? We can send troops here to take a shortcut and rush into the enemy's rear to outflank them. They are not that stupid, are they?"
Everyone was a little confused. They originally thought that there would be a fierce battle, but when they arrived here, they found it empty.
"Sir, what should we do?" someone asked.
Captain Tong frowned, glanced around, and then said, "Let's take a look forward. If there's no one, we'll stay here!"
The group walked forward a little further and found that there was still no one there.
"Huh? Sir, what is that?" A soldier suddenly pointed at a place on the river and shouted.
