A round of light arrows shot out from the top of the city, and flew over a hundred and fifty steps away, landing beside Wang Quan and the others. The Jinyiwei was hit by the light arrow when he didn't stop his whistle. Fortunately, the armor on their bodies blocked the light arrow, which was fine.

"Let's go!" Wang Quan gave the order, and the two hundred Jinyiwei cavalry did not stop the whistle and quickly evacuated beyond the range of the light arrows on the top of the city.

When he arrived four hundred steps away from the city, Wang Quan ordered: "Stop moving forward."

The Jinyiwei retracted his horses one after another. Wang Quan turned his head and pointed to the cannons on the top of the city and said, "Brothers, it seems that although Tutor He was bewitched by the rebels, he was not sure. Otherwise, if the defenders fired the cannon just now, we would have lost several brothers."

Ye Bushu asked, "Wang Baihu, what should we do now?"

Wang Quan said: "Retreat into the woods and wait for the Marquis to arrive."

Two hundred Ye Bushe came to a small woods a mile away from the Nanning city wall to wait. After waiting for a whole afternoon, the sky began to gradually darken, and Zhao Peng's main force had not arrived yet. Wang Quan was worried that he would be attacked by the enemy overnight outside Nanning city, so he ordered to go back to find Zhao Peng's main force brigade.

At night, they drove fifty miles away, and at night, they arrived at Zhao Peng's main camp at the hour of the night.

Zhao Peng's camp located by the Yongjiang River was brightly lit. Wang Quan brought the Jinyiwei to the gate of the camp and met the command. A person slid down the wall of the camp with a rope, checked Wang Quan and his friends' cards, and then shouted at the camp. The gate of the camp opened and put Wang Quan and a group of Jinyiwei into the camp.

It was getting late, and Wang Quan did not disturb Zhao Peng, but instead found a place to rest in the camp with the Jinyiwei.

Just when Wang Quan and his friends returned to Zhao Peng's camp, in Nanning City, Zhu Youlang was secretly discussing with Zhu Changqing.

"He Tengjiao's old man, he just refused to listen when he asked him to shell the Eagle Claw Sun. It seems that the old man is sure that the other party is Eagle Claw Sun? That's why he dare not fire?" Zhu Changqing asked.

Zhu Youlang said: "I'm not sure yet, but one thing we can be sure is that the old man is definitely suspicious! If Zhao Peng's thief arrives tomorrow, if that guy shows the imperial edict, He Tengjiao will not believe us."

Zhu Changqing had a plan: "Tomorrow, that guy Zhao Peng came to the city. We will bring our trusted guards to the city tower. If He Tengjiao's old man wanted to open the door to welcome the Eagle Claw Sun, we will take the old man down and order the army to defend Nanning. Zhao Peng's Eagle Claw Sun came with light clothes, without the auxiliary soldiers or the weapons to attack the city, he would definitely not be able to do anything to Nanning City!"

"Okay, then follow this plan!" Zhu Youlang said happily.

Early the next morning, Wang Quan, who was still sleeping, was woken up by Zhao Peng: "Wang Baihu, I heard that you arrived at the city of Nanning yesterday and were shot back by He Tengjiao with arrows?"

Wang Quan opened his eyes and saw Zhao Peng standing in front of him. He quickly rolled down from the bed made of wooden boxes and knelt down to bow and apologized to Zhao Peng: "Return to the Marquis, he was unable to do his job well and could not convince He Tengjiao. Instead, he was framed as a Western thief by King Gui. The old thing He Tengjiao actually believed King Gui's slander!"

Zhao Peng helped Wang Quan up with both hands: "Wang Baihu, it's not your fault, it's because He Tengjiao's old man is confused and he doesn't know whether to open the door if he sees the imperial edict!"

Wang Quan said: "I will prepare now and you can follow the Marquis to set off."

"You don't need to stop at night, you've been busy for so many days, and you don't have enough rest. Let's do this, our infantry and cavalry will go first, and you don't need to take a good night's sleep if you don't need to stop at night, and then set off. You can rest during the day and there is no mosquito harassment, so you can have a good sleep." Zhao Peng persuaded Wang Quan and asked them to rest for a while if they don't need to stop at night.

Afterwards, Zhao Peng, Ma Jinzhong and Wang Yuncheng, left the camp with one thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry, and kept Wang Quan and two hundred Yebu in the camp to continue resting. Zhao Peng and his three thousand men rushed towards Nanning.

Zhao Peng, Ma Jinzhong and Wang Yuncheng took a thousand cavalry and arrived outside Nanning City at noon in just one morning.

When the defenders on the city saw a group of people coming from outside the city, they hurriedly reported to He Tengjiao. The two guards who were staying at the city also reported the matter to Zhu Youlang and Zhu Changqing.

After a while, He Tengjiao and a group of followers climbed to the top of the city, and Zhu Youlang and Zhu Changqing also took their men to the top of the city.

He Tengjiao stood behind the female wall in front of the city gate tower, looking at the cavalry under the city not far away, and saw the cavalry holding the big banner of the word "Ming", as well as the banners such as "Zhao", "Ma" and "Wang".

After a while, one of the cavalry slowly rode out. He Tengjiao observed the man and saw that the man was riding a white horse, wearing a wingless black gauze hat, a purple flying fish suit, a jade belt at his waist, an embroidered spring knife, and a purple cloak, looking majestic.

When He Tengjiao saw the purple flying fish suit, he was shocked. You must know that the purple flying fish suit is only worn by the highest level of the Jinyiwei. It is impossible for the Jinyiwei Commander to be killed by the Western Pirates. The flying fish suit was seized? There is no reason for this? Could it be that the Western Pirates pretended to be the Jinyiwei Commander? The possibility is not high. Such a conspicuous character is probably not good to pretend, right?

Just when He Tengjiao was hesitating, the high-level Jinyiwei in purple flying fish suit came a hundred steps below the city, took out a golden scroll from its sleeve, and shouted at the top of the city: "I am the loyal and brave waiter of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Peng, commander of the Jinyiwei, and the imperial edict of Emperor Shaowu of the Ming Dynasty is here! If He has any questions, he can send someone to go down to the city to take the imperial edict to distinguish the authenticity!"

He Tengjiao poked his head out from behind the battlement at the top of the city: "Zhongyong, please wait. I will let you go down to the city to receive the imperial edict!"

Before He Tengjiao ordered someone to take the basket down to get the imperial edict, he heard someone behind him shouting: "Catch it!"

He Tengjiao turned his head and saw that two men who looked like guards in the royal palace had already pressed down on He Tengjiao. A sharp embroidered sword was placed on He Tengjiao's neck: "Shima He has fallen into our hands. If you don't want the head of He Tuma He to land, you will obey the prince's order!"

The soldiers at the top of the city praised the soldiers, and the military households and civilians were shocked by the sudden change and were at a loss for a moment. Seeing the people in the royal palace placing a knife on He Tengjiao's neck, no one dared to approach.

Zhu Youlang shouted: "Mr. He is in my hands. If you don't want to see Mr. He fall to the ground, you will obey my orders!"

He Tengjiao shouted anxiously: "Everyone, don't listen to the order of King Gui! Ah..." Before he could finish his words, a pair of smelly feet stuffed into his mouth, blocking his mouth tightly.

"Take it down!" Zhu Youlang shouted.

Two guards of the royal palace escorted He Tengjiao down the city gate tower, and then Zhu Youlang shouted: "I am King Gui. The soldiers and civilians in the city obey the orders. Immediately organize the defense of the city and stop the thieves from siege attacking the city!"

When Zhao Peng, who was under the city, saw the incident on the city, immediately snapped his horse and galloped away, fleeing the range of the defenders on the city.

In Nanning City, there were 5,000 He Tengjiao's Supervisor Battalion, 8,000 local military households, 1,000 guards brought by the two kings, and more than 10,000 civilians recruited, with a total force of more than 20,000. With more than 3,000 people in Zhao Peng's hands, it can be said that it is impossible to attack a city with 20,000 troops stationed.

Originally, he thought that with the imperial edict, He Tengjiao could open the city gate. Who knew that Zhu Youlang was so cruel that he directly ordered his confidant to hijack He Tengjiao to threaten the Supervisor and military households in the city, so that they could only obey the orders of King Gui and King Lu and assist them in defending the city.

"Marty, what should I do?" Ma Jinzhong asked.

Wang Yuncheng said: "That's right, we only have one thousand light cavalry and two thousand infantry, and we have no weapons to attack the city and no auxiliary soldiers. How to attack the city? There are at least ten thousand defenders in the city."
