An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 292 The Jingyang City Is Taken (Part Two)

Seeing that Prince Jing was quite confident, Zhang Qi felt a little relieved. Everything would be fine with

the presence of Prince Jing.

Prince Jing turned around and called his shadow guard out. He said with a smile, "go and fetch my

jade flute."

Zhang Qi did not know why, but said nothing. Watching the shadow guard leaving in a hurry, and soon

after, Prince Jing took the jade flute here. He caressed the jade flute with a smile, "let's go to the east

wall to receive the army of the state of Xia."

By the time they arrived, the city had almost been withdrawn by Prince Jing. Only a few secret guards

with higher level of martial arts wore the armor of the city guards and stood on the city wall.

As he looked at the pitch black walls, Xia Houyan smiled and said, "military counsellor, we are finally in

Jingyang city." But there was not a trace of joy in his eyes, and he frowned at the big words "Jingyang

city". She said: "although we deceived Qi Lang with a deceptive trick, but Qi Lang should have heard

that we were heading for Jingyang city. Prince Jing is a general in the battlefield. He fought many wars

and is very capable. He should not be unaware of our whereabouts, but why, I didn't expect that they

was ready to fight with the enemy in Jingyang city! "

Liu Yinfeng also looked at Jingyang City, and said calmly, "I'm afraid it's a trick of Prince Jing."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the jade flute, which was as ethereal as the

shadow of a man, whimpering, sounding somewhat weird.

"What's this?" With his eyes wide open, Xia Houyan looked into the darkness, where only two lanterns

hung on the gate of the city.

Liu Yinfeng meditated for a moment and then said, "I remember a story I saw on the military tactics. It's

called the empty city trick. We just talked about the battle between the two armies. There was no army

at all. The strategist had his soldiers retreat from the city, but he went to the tower with his Guqin and

sang the song with him, which cheated the hostile guard. "

A lantern was lit and a figure was standing on the wall in the distance. A black figure raised his hand

and placed it beside his face. It seemed that the person was blowing the jade flute. The faint sound of

the jade flute must come from there.

"Empty City trick?" Xia Houyan bit his lips and snorted, "he is so bold to play the jade flute on the city

wall in front of 400 thousand soldiers. I told you that Prince Jing must know we were here, but i didn't

expect that he would make such a wonderful move. Since it is an empty city trick, I must go and have a

look. Make a mystery of it and wait for me. I will destroy this Jingyang city and take Luo Qingyan's life. "

However, Liu Yinfeng shook his head and stopped him, "Your Highness, please don't do that."

Puzzled, Xia Houyan turned his head and asked, "councillor, you said there were no soldiers in the city.

Then what are we afraid of?"

"Your Highness, this empty city trick is only one of the plans in the book. If Prince Jing only uses it to

lure us into depth, what will it be? I wonder if there is anyone in this city. " Liu Yinfeng said with a deep

frown.

Xia Houyan had never thought about it. He thought for a while and said, "why should we be afraid of

him? There are only 200000 soldiers of the state of Ning in this small Jingyang city, and even if it is not

an empty city trick, I don't believe that he can defeat my 400 thousand soldiers. Moreover, I have

ordered general Lin Yu to attack the army from the south gate, and we can attack them from both

sides. He can't escape even if he attacks us from the south gate. "

Liu Yinfeng remained silent for a moment, and then shook his head slowly. "No, your highness. Prince

Jing is cunning. Even if we have four hundred thousand men, we can't risk it. With general Lin's two

hundred and fifty thousand men, everything will be fine. But my crown prince, Lord Hua Guo is in the

camp over there, and Lin Yu is Lord Hua Guo's old department. That two hundred and fifty thousand

men are not sure to come."

"How dare Lin Yu defy me? How dare he don't even obey my orders? Why didn't lord Hua Guo ask him

to join the fight? " Xia Houyan snorted coldly, but he was not convinced.

Liu Yinfeng sighed, "Your Highness, why shall we attack Jingyang city?"

"I'm here to kill Luo Qingyan." Xia Houyan answered without hesitation.

Liu Yinfeng nodded, "yes, we are here to killed Luo Qingyan. But your highness, what's the relationship

between Luo Qingyan and Lord Hua Guo? Have you ever thought about it?"

"Lord Hua Guo?" Xia Houyan frowned and thought for a long time before he remembered, "Oh, the first NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

empress is Lord Hua Guo's daughter, and Luo Qingyan is Lord Hua Guo's grandson!" As soon as he

finished speaking, he frowned even more. He continued, "we rushed to Jingyang city as fast as we

could, so we took advantage of the reinforcements from the army of the state of Ning and killed Luo

Qingyan first. Now what are we waiting for outside the city? If we do not fight, why would I be here? "

Liu Yinfeng meditated for a moment and said, "we will, but we have to ask about the situation in the city

carefully. Your highness, don't worry. The reinforcements from the army of the state of ning haven't

arrived so soon."

Xia Houjing didn't want to argue with him any more. He waved his hand and said, "you go ahead. I

believe you. But my patience is limited. Two hours, at most two hours, I will attack them forcefully. "

"Yes." Liu Yinfeng responded and rode away in a hurry. Xia Houyan waved his hand when he saw Liu

Yinfeng leaving and then ordered, "soldiers, rest on the spot."

Maybe it was because of the huge difference in military forces, Xia Houyan did not ask soldiers to

camp. He just wanted to finish the battle as soon as possible, and then returned to the KY City. It would

be the best to capture the Kangyang city when the military was empty.

Liu Yinfeng ordered dozens of archers, as the night was getting dark, approaching the Jingyang city

little by little. "Everyone, point to the man on the city wall. That is Prince Jing. If you kill him, you will get

a huge reward!"

Liu Yinfeng said in a low voice but with a bit of bewitchment, which made the dozens of archers behind

excited. Liu Yinfeng sneered, "under the cover of the dark night, you should go to what you can shoot

and don't act without permission. When your captain reaches the line, you can fight together. You must

act rashly and not to alert the enemy.

They answered in succession and hurried forward for some distance, pulling the bow, waiting for the

order of the captain. But before they could hear the order from the captain, something came towards

them.

"No, there is an ambush." A group of thirty to forty men fell to the ground as soon as they finished

speaking.

Xia Houyan didn't see what happened in front of him, but Liu Yinfeng knew his points clearly. He

immediately rode to Xia Houyan and said, "Your Highness, all the more than thirty archers I brought

with me were killed."

Xia Houyan was taken aback. He asked, "did you just want to shoot Luo Qingyan?"

Liu Yingfeng nodded, "I just want to know if he is really the only one on top of the city wall."

"Not alone? A trick? That is to say, were all the 200000 soldiers in the Jingyang city? it is not an empty

city trick? " Xia Houyan asked him several questions.

Liu Yinfeng meditated for a moment and then said, "I think it's exactly an empty city trick. Prince Jing is

just pretending to make the array to cheat us so we can think that there's someone in the city. But we

saw it clearly just now that the assassin's arrow technique is very accurate and almost invisible. So we

know that he is not an ordinary soldier. I heard that Prince Jing has trained a group of secret guards.

I'm afraid they are secret guards. "

Xia Houyan trusted him very much. Hearing what Liu Yinfeng said, he said, "so what are you waiting

for? Please give out the order to attack the city."

However, before the army of the state of Xia was ready, they saw the Jingyang city suddenly lit up as if

it was ablaze with light. The expression on Xia Houyan's face changed a little. "Counsellor, you said no

one is here? Then why is there the light? "

Liu Yinfeng also felt a little strange, but not long after, he saw that the Jingyang city was getting brighter

and even more thick smoke rose. A smell of burning was faintly wafting in the air, and Liu Yinfeng's

expression changed. "My crown prince, I'm afraid the army of the state of Ning is burning the city."

"What?" Xia Houyan was surprised at his words. He stared at the lit city and sensed something

unusual. He immediately said, "let's gather our whole force and set off at once."

He wanted the death of Luo Qingyan, but also wanted to take advantage of the Jingyang city. Although

it did not seem to have such an advantage, if he took it, he could take care of the KY Citylater and help

it more. Although the Jingyang City was a small city, there were at least some materials in the city,

which were enough to support these hundreds of thousands of soldiers for a period of time. If Luo

Qingyan burned the city, then he had nothing to do with the city.

The flames in the city were getting brighter and brighter and there was a tendency to spread. Seeing

this, Xia Houyan was anxious. He forgot everything else and turned around to say, "watchman follow

me to attack the city."

Hearing a neat reply from behind, Xia Houyan mounted his horse and waited for the generals of the

front to lead the way. After about half of the soldiers were left, Xia Houyan followed them to Jingyang

city.

When the squadron was about to reach the bottom of the city, a rain of arrows came. The sound of

soldiers being shot by arrows came through continuously. The team was a little messy at this moment.

Xia Houyan suddenly shouted, "spread out! Speed up and go down the city gate. "

Then he turned around and saw that Liu Yinfeng came here with a group of people. Xia Houyan was a

little relieved. Arrows kept raining, and people fell. But they were getting closer to the city wall.

After another walk, there was no sound of arrow. Xia Houyan looked up and saw no one on the city

wall.

"Attack!" Xia Houyan howled. They climbed a ladder on the other side, ready to attack the weapons

and equipment in the city. However, as they approached the city wall, they felt a heat wave coming,

making them almost unable to approach.

"Prepare the city hammer." As Xia Houyan said, many people brought the hammer to attack the city.

They lifted the hammer and smashed at the door.

Bang! The gate didn't move at all. Then they smashed the gate again. With a loud rumbling, the gate

fell back slowly in front of them
