The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

Chapter 272 Kill

Ning Yi just looked at him coldly.

Qin Haifeng had no choice but to shut up and said, "I obey your command."

Ning Yi didn't waste any time and went up to the city wall with a group of guards.

The commander guarding the city walls immediately bowed when he saw him and said, "Your Highness, it's them."

Ning Yi looked outside the city and was shocked by the endless sea of heads.

The armor and weapons were all good, and there were even quite a few mule and horse carts, which showed that they were carrying a lot of goods.

There were even quite a few caravans mixed in.

Outside the city, more than a dozen people, each wearing armor and showing that they were of high status, were riding on war horses. They shouted arrogantly to the city wall: "Do you hear me? Open the city gate quickly."

"Otherwise, I'll wait and attack the city."

"How dare you!" the city guard said angrily, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince is here, and you still dare to be so presumptuous."

"Sixth Prince?" The general below the city wall looked at the man in golden armor on the wall and said, "Sixth Prince, why don't you open the city gate?"

Ning Yi looked down at him calmly: "Who are you waiting for?"

The generals at the foot of the city said proudly, "We were supporting the border troops for King Liang, but because the border was breached, we had to retreat."

"Please, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, open the city gates and let us return to our fiefdom."

Still want to return to your fiefdom?

Ning Yi was not in a hurry because the troops he had just ordered were gathering quickly and needed time to prepare.

He looked down at her with a powerful voice, "What did you just say? You wanted to attack the city?"

"Then you can attack one for this prince now and see."

Ning Yi, as a prince, actually said this in public.

The generals on the city wall were speechless.

The generals below the city wall were also stunned. They didn't expect that the prince would speak like this.

How could he possibly order an attack on the city?

Not to mention that rashly attacking the city would be a capital crime, and even King Liang could not take the responsibility.

And this is Hushan Pass. Just look at the city wall, there are soldiers in full armor standing everywhere.

Even if they threw all 10,000 soldiers in, they would not be able to take down Hushan Pass.

It's just a way to scare people.

Now that he was exposed in public by the Sixth Prince, he was very dissatisfied.

He shouted loudly: "What does Sixth Prince mean?"

"We fought for the imperial court, against the barbarians, and countless brothers shed blood and died in battle. Now we are returning to our fiefdom, but they don't allow us to enter the pass. Are they trying to force us to death?"

"If His Royal Highness Prince Liang learns of this and reports it to His Majesty, is the Sixth Prince capable of shouldering the responsibility?"

Ning Yi continued to stall for time, saying calmly, "Since your army is suddenly about to enter the pass, I will naturally have to carefully examine them to see if they are barbarian spies."

"You guys are forcing your way through the pass, even threatening to attack the city, and you won't even allow your identities to be checked. How audacious! Did your King Liang order you to do this?"

The commander would naturally not admit this.

He had no choice but to have someone put the documents in a frame and hang them on the city wall.

"This is my seal, as well as the seal of His Royal Highness Prince Liang. Sixth Prince, please examine it. Once you're done, please open and close it as soon as possible. We must return to our fiefdom as soon as possible to report to His Royal Highness Prince Liang."

Ning Yi took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. It was indeed the troops of King Liang.

Prince Liang was a very powerful force among the vassal kings, on par with Prince Ji.

Therefore, the court ordered the dispatch of 10,000 troops this time.

But looking at this group of guys, they don’t look like they’ve just finished a decisive battle with the barbarians.

The so-called heavy losses and excessive casualties are pure nonsense.

There are carriages everywhere, and who knows how many treasures are loaded inside.

Ning Yi just asked them to wait and would let them pass after the inspection was completed.

This wait lasted for an hour.

Qin Haifeng came running to report: "Your Highness, all the troops are ready."

Ning Yi climbed up the city wall again.

The generals below the city were already impatient. When they saw him, they immediately shouted, "Sixth Prince, have you finished your investigation? It's time to let us in."

Ning Yi sneered: "Of course it can be turned on and off."

The three gates of Hushan Pass were forcibly pushed open by a group of soldiers.

The general at the foot of the city was just about to give the order for the army to enter the city.

But suddenly, teams of soldiers ready for battle rushed out from the gate.

Like flowing water, shields were erected at a distance of dozens of steps from them.

They were on high alert, and one could tell at a glance that this was going to be a decisive battle.

Especially on the city wall, every soldier drew their bows and arrows, aiming directly at the army below the city.

That’s not all. On the hillsides on both sides, the castles were opened one by one, and large armies kept rushing down quickly.

All of a sudden, an army of 40,000 surrounded the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the city, as well as several merchant caravans.

This caused many of the princes' soldiers who were sitting down to rest under the city to stand up in panic.

The generals under the city changed their expressions and looked at the armies around them that were ready to go in shock.

He anxiously shouted towards the city wall: "Sixth Prince, what do you mean? Are you going to attack us? We are the troops of King Liang."

Ning Yi said coldly on the city wall: "You are collaborating with the enemy and betraying your country. You are collaborating with the barbarians. You deserve to die. Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy."

The general under the city was very anxious and didn't want to fight now.

Our army has come all the way here and is very tired. We want to get some supplies after entering the customs and have a good rest.

I never thought that we would be surrounded at the gate of the city.

He roared, "Sixth Prince, we are here to support the troops of the border town on behalf of the imperial court. If you dare to take action, you will be treating all the vassal kings as enemies. When the time comes, you will definitely be punished by His Majesty."

"So much nonsense! Kill them." Ning Yi gave the order.

Archers on the city walls, as well as those behind the army below the city, also shot arrows together. Dense archers on the hillsides on both sides also shot arrows together.

A dense rain of arrows continued to shoot into the crowd of vassal kings.

Most of the vassal kings' soldiers were not wearing armor. After all, the weather was hot. When they arrived at Hushan Pass, they felt that it was impossible for them to encounter the enemy again.

Who would want to wear such heavy armor all the time?

The rain of arrows was like rain, which immediately caused heavy losses to these vassal soldiers who didn't even have armor.

Looking from the city wall, the soldiers of the vassal kings below were screaming and running around in panic, flapping their wings like a group of ducks.

Apart from the two thousand elite soldiers and armored personnel in the front, the casualties were not heavy, but the rear troops soon lost nearly half of their strength.

Three waves of arrows were fired in succession, throwing the entire vassal king's army into chaos and causing the loss of more than half of their troops.

Many wounded soldiers lay down and wailed.

The elite soldiers on three sides advanced step by step with shields raised.

Surrounded them all again.

The remaining several thousand vassal soldiers huddled together in panic. They knew that these people really dared to take action and kill people at will.

At this time, Ning Yi continued on the city wall, "If you don't surrender, you will all be killed."

Although the commander was wearing elite armor, he was also injured and felt very frustrated.

If he was dressed up, how could he be so embarrassed?

He roared loudly: "Brothers, fight them, King Liang will avenge us."

But coming towards them was another wave of arrows.

People fell off their horses one after another, and others screamed in pain.
