Under the command of Wang Chen, Mingyu Palace immediately entered a state of full alert.
A man named Imperial Forest Guard quickly occupied the key points of the palace and set up a heavy crossbow.
Mingyu Palace was built for emperors to patrol the border. Although it is located in the center of Hanhai City, its own defense is not weak at all. It can be regarded as a city within a city.
Mingyu Palace is surrounded by tall and thick city walls. The front and rear gates are particularly strong. In addition, there are all facilities such as Arrow Pavilion, Tibetan Soldier Tower and so on.
With the main defense measures in place, the three thousand elite Imperial Forest Guard can definitely hold on for a long time.
The only trouble is that although there is a well in the palace, there is no food and grass in the warehouse. It is impossible to survive for a few days just relying on the supplies brought by the Heqin team.
Therefore, as long as the enemy surrounds Mingyu Palace Tuan Tuan, over time, three thousand Imperial Forest Guard will inevitably collapse without a fight!
But the prerequisite for such a situation is that Hanhai Army really rebelled.
Because the situation was unclear, Wang Chen and Sun Zhengheng did not act rashly and went to Hanhai Prefecture's house to ask for punishment.
On the one hand, they arranged the defense of the palace, and on the other hand, they began to interrogate the chefs and servants who were under guard.
It's just that these people basically didn't know anything about it. They were all trembling with fear, crying and begging for mercy!
"My lord!"
During the interrogation, a Imperial Forest Guard hurried into the side hall and said anxiously, "A large number of sergeants appeared outside the palace, and we are surrounded!"
Wang Chen and Sun Zhengheng looked at each other, their hearts sinking.
The worst has happened!
"Master Sun, you stay here and guard."
Wang Chen said decisively, "I'll go over and take a look!"
Sun Zhengheng nodded. "Be careful!"
Mingyu Palace is surrounded, and only Hanhai Army has the ability to do this. The situation cannot get any worse.
Under such circumstances, if something happens to Wang Chen again, then Sun Zhengheng has no confidence that he can protect Princess Qingyun.
He suddenly grabbed Wang Chen's arm and gritted his teeth and said, "Grand Guardian Wang, if the situation is overwhelming, then I will take Imperial Forest Guard out of the palace to lure the enemy, and you can take Her Highness the Princess away."
Sun Zhengheng's plan is to sacrifice himself and Sanqian Yulin to give Wang Chen and Princess Qingyun a chance to break out and escape.
With Wang Chen's strength rivaling that of Ten Thousand Bandits, this opportunity is still great!
"Don't worry yet."
Wang Chen patted the arm of the Imperial Forest Guard commander and said, "We will act according to the situation."
He left the side hall and quickly came to the city wall at the entrance of the front palace.
I saw countless torches being raised near the Mingyu Palace, and the swaying firelight reflected each and every soldier in armor. Their array was rigorous and solemn, and a chilling air rushed straight towards Sky Dome.
It's Hanhai Army without a doubt!
As the only natural barrier in the western territory of Great Liang, the importance of Hanhai City is undoubted. Although Great Liang and Great Yan have never had a conflict in recent decades and their relationship has always been good, their defenses against each other have never disappeared.
In order to ensure the safety of Hanhai City, Great Liang stationed an army of up to 50,000 people in Hanhai City.
Hanhai Army is not the native Border Army of Hanhai Prefecture. Most of its members are drawn from the Northland in turn. They have experienced harsh wars with Great Qi and have very rich combat experience.
Coupled with Great Liang's huge investment in weapons and equipment, it is self-evident how elite this legion is.
The most important thing is that the commander-in-chief of the Hanhai Army is an incredible person!
"I am Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince, Imperial Envoy of Marriage Wang Chen!"
Standing on the wall, Wang Chen shouted in a deep voice, "Shangguan Great General is here, please come out and speak!"
Shangguan Wuji, Hanhai Army Commander, sixth-tier Martial Venerable!
This Hanhai Commandery pillar with the title "Great General Who Suppresses the West" is one of the top figures in the Great Liang military system.
He was born into a wealthy Aristocratic Clan family and was trained by School of War. He joined the army at the age of fifteen and has made outstanding achievements in hundreds of battles. He has mastered Hanhai Army and guarded the border for ten years. He is undoubtedly the soul of this Border Army.
No action taken by the Hanhai Army can bypass this Great General!
As soon as Wang Chen finished speaking, dozens of lights suddenly appeared in the long street ahead, illuminating the entire street.
Flags were raised high at the same time, surrounded by a majestic chariot pulled by four horses.
On top of the chariot, stood a tall general wearing iron armor.
A few hundred steps away, his eyes collided with Wang Chen's!
The general raised his hand to Wang Chen and said, "It turns out it's Grand Guardian Wang who is in front of me, Shangguan Wuji."
"Tiger!"
Before he finished speaking, the Hanhai Army soldiers around him shouted in unison, and the sound suddenly shook the wind and clouds in all directions!
School of War battle formation can condense the supreme aura of intimidation, and has the power to intimidate the enemy and destroy all methods. Even powerful demons do not dare to take advantage of it.
Once a martial arts expert falls into the formation, his cultivation will be greatly suppressed and it will be difficult for him to exert his full strength.
The faces of the Imperial Forest Guards guarding the city wall all changed.
They are the elite of the army and they belong to Son of Heaven's personal guards, so they naturally have a lot of arrogance.
But facing the powerful aura erupted by Hanhai Commandery Border Army, being suppressed before the fight even started, I felt extremely aggrieved and uncomfortable!
All the fighting spirit was greatly weakened.
"Shangguan Great General, may I ask what your intention is in leading your troops to besiege Mingyu Imperial Palace?"
Wang Chen shouted sharply, "Do you want to rebel?"
Imperial Forest Guard, who was around Wang Chen, breathed a long sigh of relief and felt a lot more relaxed.
Because most of the powerful aura from the Hanhai Army was dissipated in an instant!
"Rebellion? I have no intention of doing so."
Shangguan Wuji took a deep look at Wang Chen and said, "I am acting according to the order. The reasons can be stated to Her Highness the Princess in person. Grand Guardian Wang must not talk nonsense."
By order?
Wang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Then you sent people to poison the meat of the soldiers, and you were also acting on orders?"
Shangguan Wuji categorically denied. "How could I, this dignified Great General Who Suppresses the West, do such a trivial thing!"
Wang Chen sneered, "If you have no guilt in your heart, do you dare to come in and state it to Her Highness the Princess face to face?"
"What do you dare not do?"
Shangguan Wuji raised his palm and patted the chariot shaft. "Go forward and enter the palace immediately!"
The sergeant driving the chariot immediately shook his reins, and the four horses immediately spread their hooves, dragging the chariot towards the palace gate.
A team of heavily armed and sturdy Knight followed closely behind.
"Gate of Opening!"
Seeing that Shangguan Wuji was really going to come in, Wang Chen ordered someone to open the palace door without thinking.
Imperial Forest Guards hesitated for a moment, but still obeyed his order.
With a creaking sound, the heavy palace gate opened to the left and right. The chariot Shangguan Wuji was riding took the lead in breaking through the door, followed by hundreds of war horses.
At this moment, the Imperial Forest Guards stationed at the palace gate were extremely nervous, worried that these Hanhai Commandery warriors would rise up and revolt.
But this did not happen.
