Within a certain canyon within the Great Lu Dynasty, the rebel soldiers lying in ambush on both sides of the canyon... When they saw that the imperial army had completely entered the ambush circle, Wang Cheng gave the order. They rushed out from where they were hiding and attacked the imperial army below aggressively.    

"Steady! Steady! Don't panic!" First Prince stuck his body out of the carriage and shouted at his pale-faced subordinates.    

This army was led by First Prince. After setting off from the capital, not long after... Under First Prince's command, his army began to march forward in a hurry. However, because there were infantry and logistical supplies in the troops, therefore, although their speed was very fast, it was still not as fast as all of the cavalry forces sent by the Eighth Prince.    

And because of this, when the Eighth Prince's cavalry arrived at the destination city... First Prince's troops were still on the way. Furthermore... Because of the rapid march, the cavalry in his troops were still fine. They still had stamina, but the infantry and the logistics soldiers... They were already exhausted.    

However, although First Prince knew about this situation, he did not order the troops to stop and rest. Instead, he wanted to rush to the city as soon as possible, and then rest for a while. Then, he started to attack the city.    

Therefore, First Prince's team hadn't had a good rest ever since the capital left. At this moment, their physical strength had reached its limit.    

Under such circumstances, they were still ambushed. It could be imagined how those soldiers felt.    

Because of this, even if First Prince desperately wanted his men to... Reinstating order, having organised troops to fight the enemy, the results were... It was not a big deal. The entire team was discovering the enemy. After discovering that they were ambushed, their morale dropped to the lowest point.    

Very quickly, the two teams collided. The Rebellion Soldier had gained the upper hand in an instant. Furthermore, they had the upper hand. They had been waiting in ambush for a long time. In terms of physical strength, they had an absolute advantage.    

Moreover, these people were not the old, weak, sick, and disabled people who stayed in the city. They were the true elites under Wang Cheng. At least, the ones at the front were definitely the elites. They were the biggest reliance of Wang Cheng's development to this point, and the ones following closely behind. They were all soldiers who had seen blood before and were able to fight on the battlefield. They might not be elites, but they were at least qualified soldiers. Even the soldiers of the Imperial Court were not inferior. Furthermore, they were still physically and mentally... They had a huge advantage, so their combat strength was naturally higher than the Imperial Court's army.    

Upon seeing this scene, First Prince panicked. He could only hear the screams of the soldiers in his ears. What he saw in his eyes was the scene of his soldiers being killed and falling to the ground.    

"It's over..." First Prince said to himself in a daze.    

These people who were lying in ambush had obviously been prepared for this. And their attire... He also knew that they were all members of the rebel army. Since they were lying in ambush here... It was obvious that they had already schemed against them. They would not let them leave so easily.    

Furthermore, First Prince actually knew the actual situation of his team. They were very tired and needed rest very much. At this moment, let alone fighting, they were just walking normally. If they were breathing heavily, how could they beat the rebel army?    

Originally, First Prince thought that when he arrived at his destination city... He wanted to have a good rest. However, he did not expect that the rebels would not give them the chance. They actually took the initiative to attack and ambush them. Wasn't this going to take their lives?    

Because of this, First Prince was in complete despair. He felt that not only was his team going to be destroyed, but he was also going to die here.    

"First Prince, let's organize everyone to break out of the encirclement. There's no way we can win here." At this moment, a person dressed like a guard suddenly appeared beside First Prince and said to him.    

"Yes, yes, break out of the encirclement!" First Prince also understood. Although they had quite a number of people, however, it was already impossible for them to win. It would be good if they could break out of the encirclement now. He also needed to break out of the encirclement with the large group.    

Suddenly, First Prince turned his head and looked at the person who had just spoken with caution. He asked, "Who are you?"    

First Prince was very sure that he did not know this person. Those who were arranged to protect him were his trusted aides, but this guard was obviously not.    

"I was arranged by Princess Qi to protect His Highness." The guard said.    

In fact, this guard was naturally arranged by Huang Feng. However... First Prince didn't know about Huang Feng's existence, nor did he know Huang Feng's specific identity. Therefore, if it was Huang Feng who arranged it, First Prince might not trust this guard. He might even catch him as a spy.    

However, Princess Qi was different. After all, Princess Qi's identity was not ordinary. Furthermore, the examination this time was also arranged by Princess Qi. It was very normal for her to arrange people to protect her in the dark.    

Sure enough, after hearing Princess Qi's name, First Prince did not doubt it. Instead, he nodded.    

With First Prince's name, the army of the Imperial Court began to break out of the encirclement. Compared to the Rebellion Force, the imperial court's army was more disciplined. They still had an advantage. After all, they had undergone professional training. After receiving the order, they began to break out of the encirclement.    

"I didn't expect that they would know how to break out of the encirclement. They aren't completely stupid." Wang Cheng muttered to himself when he saw this scene.    

In fact, Wang Cheng also knew that he wanted to eliminate all these people here. As long as he could severely injure them, that would be enough. As long as he could severely injure them... Then, for the Imperial Court... This would be a huge blow to his future development. It would be very beneficial for him to expand, and he had achieved his goal this time.    

Of course, if he could kill one more, the resistance he would encounter in the future would be lessened. Hence, after seeing the army of the imperial court break out of the encirclement, he ordered his men to stop them with all their might. If he could kill one more, he would kill one more, especially that First Prince. He also asked his men to take good care of him. If there was a chance, he had to stay behind!    

In the end, Wang Cheng wasn't able to catch First Prince, but he had also severely wounded First Prince's team. This had caused First Prince to lose the ability to continue attacking his city. Regarding this result... Although he felt a little regretful, he could still accept it.    

Before this, Wang Cheng had already led his team to ambush the Third Prince, and they had also obtained some good results. They had severely injured the Third Prince's men. Of course, he wasn't able to catch the Third Prince either.    

However, the severe injuries he had inflicted on the Third Prince and First Prince had made Wang Cheng very satisfied. It seemed like he was only a little bit away from the throne.
