Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 517
From Qingzhou City to Ten Mile Fort, there are seven or three party members who are fighting the grass valley within a hundred miles. The number is not many, at most a thousand people, and at least there are only more than 200 people.The total sum does not exceed three thousand.

Regarding the seven or eight party members, the Fuzhou Zhe family and the Linzhou Yang family responded very quickly, and each sent [-] troops to start guerrilla warfare with the [-] party cavalry in this area.Seeing this, the guard of Huangjiabao, the military village closest to these party members, did not send troops. After all, fighting is fatal. Since someone has already taken action for them, there is naturally no need to send troops. It's too late to grab military merit.The Zhe family of Fuzhou and the Yang family of Linzhou had already dispatched troops first, and they had a total of [-] cavalry. Even if they sent troops out at this time, they could not beat them.

The commanders of the three principals in Gyeongju all spoke in a few words. According to normal speculation, they had already set the tone for this matter. The reason why the Yang family in Helinzhou dispatched troops so quickly was to show off to the imperial envoy.It's a pity what they don't know is that while Zhejia and Yangjia are in guerrilla warfare with those seven and eight-legged party members, they have already blocked all the routes from Gyeongju and Huangjiabao to Shilibao. For a long time, all the spies sent by Shilipu to Gyeongju will be stopped and killed.

Of course, the scene between Fuzhou's Zhejia and Linzhou's Yang's and the Dangxiang people did not dare to be played for too long, otherwise they would be suspected afterward.Even if Ye Chen is dead by then, it will cause them great trouble.Just the revenge from the back of the Huaxia Weifu is enough to give them a headache, not to mention the suspicion from the Song Emperor, which will cause endless troubles.

In fact, Zhe Yuxun and Yang Chongxun only agreed to the emissary sent by Yufeng for a day and a half.In other words, within a day and a half at most, the two of them will repel all the party members and withdraw their troops.

However, in this day and a half, can the Holy Church and the seven party troops kill Ye Chen?

Although Huang Louping was a bit late in the end, Ye Chen couldn't turn around in time to lead the people away.However, Huang Louping's early report still had some effect, at least Ye Chen and his party were not surrounded in the wild, but entered Ten Mile Fort at the last moment.

The situation changed suddenly, and I was preparing to meet the imperial envoy before, but the next moment was an unexpected enemy attack. The gap caused by the sudden change of the situation, and the sudden appearance of more than 2 party cavalry, made Liu Shijun, the guard of Shilibao, feel uncomfortable confidence.You must know that there are two military villages, Shipingzhai and Balipo, in the direction of Shilibao towards Hengshan, and there are five thousand elite Song soldiers in total.However, before the [-] party cavalrymen appeared, there was no beacon fire, and no spies came to report.

Could it be that the two military strongholds have fallen?

The names on the flags of the enemy generals erected high up half a mile away were written in Dangxiang characters, and there were seven large flags, which meant that the more than 1 cavalry came from the seven tribes of Dangxiang. That is, except for Li Guangrui of Xiazhou who has already built a city and changed his surname to Li, all the Seven Departments of the Party are now dispatched.

Ye Chen didn't know this kind of party writing, which was also composed of horizontal and vertical strokes, but completely different from Chinese characters. Lian Jicheng, Hu Sanguang, and Huang Louping, who were beside him with solemn faces, could not be recognized.However, among the [-] Song troops inside and outside Shilibao, many people have seen these seven flags on the battlefield, and have fought with the troops under these seven flags to the sound of golden drums for many years.

Among the tribes with the surnames of Dangxiang, there are eight major tribes, Xifeng, Feiting, Quili, Pochao, Yeli, Fangdang, Miqin, and Tuoba, which are called the eight tribes of Dangxiang.Originally, the Tuoba clan was the most powerful among the various ministries of the party.But unexpectedly, with the secret support of the Holy Church, the Xifeng Clan suddenly rose more than two years ago, and has surpassed the Seventh Department of the Party by a large margin.

Ye Chen's gaze was like lightning, and he saw that the middle flag among the seven flags was a circle larger than the other flags, and knew that the enemy should be dominated by the commander in the middle.After Liu Shijun, the guard of Shilibao, explained in a low voice, Ye Chen knew that the owner of the flag in the middle was Tuoba clan, the most powerful of the other seven clans besides Xiazhou Li Guangrui, among the eight clans of the party. The head of the clan is named Tuoba Zhenli, and he is the number one warrior among the Eight Departments of the Dangxiang. According to the information collected by Huaxia Wei Renxi Mansion, this person has super-class strength.From the looks of it now, the leader of the Tuoba clan, Tuoba Zhenli, who is in the middle of the more than 1 party troops below should be personally leading the army.

After Ye Chen took a few more glances at the word Tuoba embroidered on the white flag, he involuntarily turned his gaze away.In addition to the stable army half a mile away from Ten Mile Fort, there were thousands of enemy troops on both sides where the billowing dust obscured them.It was so blurry that even with Ye Chen's eyes, it was difficult to calculate their exact number.

Since ancient times, there are many people in military books who say: There are tens of thousands of people at once, and there are no boundaries and no shores.The party members in front of him already far surpassed ten thousand people, and they looked as vast as the sea.The dark area extends from the third mile west of Ten Mile Fort all the way to the lower part of the fort.There were another one or two thousand cavalry galloping outside the fort. Amidst the thunderous hoofbeats, what was raised was not only grayish-yellow smoke and dust, but also a strong fighting spirit.

"Why can the cavalry from the Seventh Department of the Dangxiang come here?" Huang Louping still has a grudge about sending the main force of the West Mansion to guard against Li Guangrui in Xiazhou, but neglecting the Seventh Department of the Dangxiang.

"These things can be checked later. It must be related to the Holy Church. I want to know how many party members are there?"

Ye Chen asked not only Hu Sanguang, Huang Louping, and Lian Jicheng of Huaxia Weifu, but also Liu Shijun, the guard of Shilibao, and several commanders under his leadership.

Counting soldiers is the most basic subject in military science.Scouts with excellent abilities, or generals who are experienced in military affairs, can often see the number of enemy troops in front of them with just one glance, and then infer the total strength of the enemy army. There is no need for them to wait in line Counting.

In the same way, as long as there is a general with a military mind, he will use various means to cover up and disguise in order to prevent his troops from being seen through.For example, in front of Ye Chen and others, the enemy army used the dust raised by galloping horses to blur the number of their own troops.However, experienced generals can still give a general idea.

Ye Chen has led troops to fight many big battles this year. Although he won all of them and his eyesight is far superior to others, he does not have much experience in this field and cannot judge the exact number of enemy troops in front of him. Will ask.
