Chapter 545: Interlocking

Rumble…

There were bursts of roaring sounds coming from the earth, and the ground was shaking slightly.

That's the sound of thousands of horses galloping!

"what happened?"

On the city wall, many soldiers guarding the city looked at the dusty sky in the distance, feeling surprised and confused.

But on the high sentry tower, the sentry could see clearly that a huge army was coming in this direction.

"It's an army, a lot of soldiers and horses."

The sentry's expression changed slightly, and he immediately sounded the alarm, and the bell kept echoing.

The gatekeepers in the city immediately climbed onto the city wall upon hearing the sound of the bell.

"what happened?"

In the tower, Zhang Geng, the commander of the city defenders, and Zheng Ming, the commander of the imperial guards, also immediately left the tower.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, Commander Zheng, that a large number of troops have appeared on the official road, and their origin is unknown."

The sentry immediately got off the tall sentry tower to report.

"A large army."

Both of their faces changed slightly, and then they immediately climbed up to the sentry tower several hundred meters high to look.

I saw a huge army rushing towards here on the official road on the horizon in the distance.

At the front were no less than 30,000 dragon horse cavalry, followed by a large number of infantry at the rear. According to visual inspection, the number was no less than 100,000.

However, the army in front held huge battle flags with the symbol of a fierce tiger on them.

"It's the border troops at Humen Border Gate. What's going on? Why are they back?"

Zhang Geng frowned and said.

"Could it be that the king summoned Prince Zhengfeng to return to the palace?" Zheng Ming also looked confused.

"There is no need to bring so many people back to the palace, and we have not received an order to inform us that something is not normal. We need to send someone to report it first and inform the palace."

Zhang Geng felt something was wrong.

"All officers and men have obeyed the order and entered a state of combat readiness. Without my order, they must not act rashly."

Zhang Geng shouted.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the crossbows on the city wall were loaded with talisman arrows, and the crossbowmen were also ready.

Soon, the several-kilometer-long army arrived more than a thousand meters in front of the city gate.

The city gate opened, and an officer riding a dragon horse ran out of the city.

"Stop the army ahead!"

The captain shouted loudly.

Rumble...!

Herod!

Thousands of horses roared and suddenly stopped, more than a thousand meters outside the city.

"Who is here? Why are you leading the border army back to the city?"

On the city wall, Zhang Geng shouted and asked.

"drive!"

In the army outside the city, a general rode out on a dragon horse and shouted: "Commander Zhang Geng, it's me, Li Xin!"

Zhang Geng took a closer look and saw that it was really Li Xin, a powerful person in the Yuanyang realm and a man of Yin Zhengfeng.

"General Li Xin, if you are not guarding the border, why did you bring so many people here?"

Zhang Geng asked.

"General Zhang Geng, we have received the king's secret order and sent manpower back to help you destroy Fengchen Village and Prince Xiahou's Mansion."

Li Xin said loudly.

"What, destroy the Xiahou Prince's Mansion."

Zhang Geng's face changed slightly and he shouted: "What are you talking nonsense about? When did the king give such an order?"

Li Xin looked surprised and said: "Why, don't you know yet? The Xiahou Palace is plotting a rebellion and is already preparing for a mutiny."

"That's nonsense, why don't we know this secret order?" Zheng Ming shouted.

"Report!"

However, here it is!

A signal soldier ran over, with a sea eagle standing on his shoulder and a letter in his hand.

"Report to Commander Zhang Geng and Commander Zheng Ming. In the Fengchenzhuang Incident, 20,000 forbidden troops were completely annihilated. The commander's life and death are unknown. Commander Zheng Ming is requested to immediately lead the forbidden troops to Fengchenzhuang to annihilate the enemy."

The signal soldier knelt down with the letter in hand and said.

"What!"

The expressions of both of them changed greatly when they heard this.

"How is it possible? How is it possible that Fengchenzhuang has the strength to annihilate our 20,000 forbidden troops?"

Zheng Ming couldn’t believe it.

Zhang Geng looked at the army below, his face changed with shock, and he said: "Is it possible that with the help of the Xiahou Palace, the Xiahou Palace will rebel?"

Zheng Ming's face was gloomy and he said, "It's not impossible. Prince Xiahou's palace and Xiang Chen of Fengchen Village have a close relationship. Prince Xiang and Xiahou Ba are as close as brothers."

"kill!"

However, at this time, something changed.

In the city, tens of thousands of people suddenly appeared on many streets and rushed toward the garrison camp, shouting for death.

Many of these people were wearing armor, and all of them had yellow cloth wrapped around their arms.

In front of this group of people, there was a man who was ten meters tall and terrifying in size, holding a huge war spear in his hand.

In the shocked eyes of the military camp officers, these people rushed over.

Xiahou Wu stepped forward and waved a huge war spear in his hand. His huge body spanned hundreds of meters and landed on the fence gate of the military camp, swinging out a spear.

The long war spear killed five or six soldiers guarding the city camp.

"There is an enemy, there is an enemy attack!"

The military camp guarding the city was suddenly in chaos, and someone shouted at the camp.

In the military camp, more than 20,000 troops immediately emerged from various barracks, picked up weapons and rushed out of the barracks.

"kill!"

Xiang Chen was also among them and shouted angrily.

Three hundred and sixty Yanhuang members roared and turned into a wolf man.

The White Tiger Guards also transformed into White Tiger bloodline warriors, standing at the front of the crowd.

Thousands of troops under the command of Xiahou Wu from the Xiahou Palace, and people from all forces gathered by Xiang Chen then rushed into the military camp and started fighting.

"Report to General Zhang Geng that something happened in the military camp. Xia Houwu and Xiang Chen led people to attack the military camp."

Someone came over to report urgently.

"I'm not blind! I saw it." Zhang Geng shouted angrily, looking towards the military camp more than a thousand meters away in the city.

"Damn it, Prince Xiahou actually dared to rebel."

Zheng Ming was also furious.

He looked at the army outside the city and said: "Your Majesty is wise and has been prepared. If someone comes, please open the city gate quickly."

At this moment, he immediately believed Li Xin's words.

"Open the city gate!"

Wow…

The door forged with thick black iron opened with the sound of rolling shutters.

In the army, a hidden figure showed a sneer.

"It seems that Chen'er has taken action."

The army outside the city immediately rushed across the lowered moat plank bridge and rushed into the gate.

"Follow me and kill the traitors."

Zhang Geng and Zheng Ming shouted to the soldiers on the city wall.

The soldiers on the city wall immediately went down to the city and gathered to kill the troops brought by Xiang Chen and others.

However, they had just descended from the city and handed their backs to the army that had just entered the city. Tragedy happened instantly.

Each and every one of the troops at the border immediately wrapped their arms with long yellow scarves to make it easier to identify their own people and avoid accidentally killing them.

"Fire the arrow and kill!"

In the crowd, King Xiang shouted angrily.

Among the cavalry entering the city, tens of thousands of horse archers raised their bows and set arrows. Arrows shot out from behind, killing the back of the army defending the city.

Phew!

Phew!

"ah!!"

In an instant, countless defenders of the city were suddenly shot by waves of arrows from behind. The arrows struck their vests, causing screams and screams.

Dashang Palace, the real nightmare is coming!
