Chapter 629: Attacking the heart first, Xiang Chong’s poisonous plan
Villagers passing by outside the training ground were all shocked. They didn't know what was about to happen.

"set off!"

Asan waved his big hand, and all the soldiers rushed out of the training ground like hungry wolves.

After continuous renovation in the past few years, the camp that could only accommodate a few dozen people at the beginning has been expanded dozens of times and is located at the foot of Niubei Mountain.

This was also planned by Lin Yun and the old village chief.

The camp is arranged here. Whether it is Niubei Mountain or Niubei Village, if something goes wrong, thousands of cavalry can provide the fastest support.

Ah San rode leisurely behind, looking at the elite cavalry of nearly two thousand people, he felt very proud in his heart.

These are all elites he has trained with his own hands, and their actual combat capabilities are extremely strong.

At this time, the old village chief came over on crutches and asked curiously: "Commander Ah San, has something happened?"

Ah San said with a smile: "Don't worry~! It's just a little trouble!"

The old village chief nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "By the way, Commander Asan, is there any news about Mr. Lin recently?"

At the mention of Lin Yun, Ah San sighed and said: "I know what you are always worried about, but the Fourteenth Master didn't send back any news! However, don't think too much, the Fourteenth Master will definitely not give up on Niubei Village. No matter!”

"Hey, it's not that the old man is just thinking, it's that the villagers are complaining! It's not like you don't know that in a few days, the Lin family will send someone to collect taxes again!"

The Lin family knew that Niubei Village was rich and powerful, so they imposed a high tax on the village. The tax was also collected on a per capita basis, and each person had to pay ten taels of silver per month.

It can be said that this rule was specially designed by the Lin family for Niubei Village.

Just to force Niu to surrender to the village.

But neither the old village chief nor Ah San agreed to Lin Xuan's olive branch.

In fact, the old village chief didn't need to say it, Ah San was also a little unhappy. Lin Yun went to the capital to become an official and became a hands-off shopkeeper, but he and the old village chief were bullied by the Lin family.

Ah San said in a deep voice: "Don't worry! Didn't Zheng Li come back to take Yang Tiexin to Beijing some time ago? I have already told him about the situation here, and the Fourteenth Master will definitely come back to solve it!"

The old village chief nodded numbly. He had heard Ah San say this perfunctory way many times.

After that, Ah San ignored him and rode his horse to quickly pursue the large army.

They also arranged for the soldiers to be divided into two formations and wait for the other party's arrival one mile away from Niubei Village.

On the other side, the fifth prince sent 3,000 cavalry and asked a confidant to lead the team. The counselor Xiang Chong served as the military advisor and came quickly.

However, he did not notify the Lin family before taking action. Whenever he encountered patrolling Lin family troops along the way, they were killed by these three thousand cavalry.

There is only one purpose, which is to launch a blitzkrieg and quickly occupy Niubei Village.

This is very important to the Fifth Prince. Once he takes control of Niubei Village, he will not only be able to surrender the Lin family, but also occupy Fengyang County.

He had already thought about how to explain to the court. If the emperor asked about this, he would say that he was taking back Fengyang County for the court.

If the emperor turns against him, he will immediately mobilize 200,000 green troops to station in Fengyang County to confront the imperial court.

Although the Fifth Prince acted impulsively, he was not stupid. He knew that the Eighth Prince and Meng Yuan were wearing the same pair of trousers.

He deliberately seduces himself into being the first person, but as long as he can control Niubei Village, all his schemes will be defeated. This is the key to his future seizure of the throne.

At this time, a scout suddenly ran over on horseback, clasped his fists and said, "General Qian, we just discovered that a large number of cavalry have gathered in a position one mile ahead of Niubei Village. They should all be Niubei Village's private army!"

Qian Jiang sneered and said: "I know these bastards are dishonest, don't worry, just move forward at full speed!"

"Yes!"

The scouts received the order and immediately rushed to the front of the team to communicate with the leading soldiers.

Counselor Xiang Chong frowned secretly and said: "General Qian, we'd better not underestimate the enemy! The private army in Niubei Village was all trained by Lin Yunhua with a lot of money, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated! We must not capsize in the gutter! Otherwise... It will affect the overall situation of the Fifth Prince!"

Qian Jiang glanced at him sideways and said in a strange tone: "Mr. Xiang, this platoon of soldiers cannot win with cleverness! In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are in vain! What this general brought out this time is... The absolute elite of the Green Camp Army! Every one of them has made great contributions! Including this general, he has also been on the battlefield with the Fifth Prince. You can ask which one of them has not stained the blood of the enemy! "

Xiang Chong was furious. Qianjiang was so arrogant that he would definitely suffer a big loss.

He quickly reminded: "General Qian, listen to me first. If the other party can arrange their troops in advance and wait in front, they have obviously received the news in advance! Based on this alone, we must not underestimate the enemy! And don't forget , Niubei Village is well-equipped, if we charge rashly, we may fall into the opponent's trap! "

Xiang Chong had long heard that Lin Yun had deployed a large number of landmines in Niubei Village and killed more than 20,000 Lin family troops.

As a military commander, it was impossible for Qian Jiang not to have heard of such a brilliant record.

Sure enough, Qian Jiang felt a little unsure when he heard what he said, and said in a deep voice: "Then according to Mr. Xiang's wishes, what should we do next?"

Xiang Chong said: "General, you might as well lead a hundred-man cavalry to explore the road first! Don't rush to take action. The opponent is waiting for work and has an inherent advantage! And our biggest advantage is the information gap!"

Qian Jiang's eyes lit up: "Oh? Mr. Xiang means to use the news of Lin Yun's disappearance to destroy the fighting will of Niubei Village's private army?"

"That's right! For so many years, Niubei Village has remained as solid as a rock and is not affected by the Lin family. It relies on the support of a monumental figure like Lin Yun! It can be said that Lin Yun is now the spiritual leader of this private army! So! , attacking forcefully is not advisable, attacking the heart is the best strategy!”

"Okay! In that case, I will trust Mr. Xiang this time!"

Then, he shouted: "Stop everyone!"

The cavalry of three thousand people gradually stopped.

At this time, an officer rode over, clasped his fists and said, "General Qian, why did you suddenly stop?"

Qian Jiang said: "What? When I, the general, issue an order, do I need the consent of you, the captain of thousands?"

"I don't dare to be humble!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Quickly mobilize a hundred cavalrymen and follow me over there to have a look before we talk!"

"Yes!"

Qian Jiang said with a smile: "Mr. Xiang is waiting for my general's order again! Take the sound of gunfire as a signal, and when you hear the sound, mobilize the army to meet my general!"

"General Qian, let me accompany you!"

Xiang Chong really didn't trust him. Lin Yun's power had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so he didn't dare to look down on this Niubei Village.
