Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 525 Attack and Defense of Ten Mile Fort ([-])
Outside the Ten Mile Castle, on the thin snow, Tuoba Zhenli was riding a horse, looking at the fierce battlefield ahead from afar.The three colors of red, white and scorched black almost filled everything in front of them. At this time, their troops spread from the southeast into the gap in the city wall that was smashed by the catapult. The clothes worn in Shilibao were obviously different from those of other Song soldiers. The different reserve team of less than [-] people came rushing in, and the Dangxiang soldiers who rushed in began to beheaded brutally. The gap where the Dangxiang soldiers finally attacked the city was snatched by the Song army.

This is not the first time this happened, Tuoba Zhenli knew that it was the subordinate of the young county king of the Song Dynasty named Ye Chen.Sure enough, all of them are masters.

Huang Louping rushed to the gap in the blood-stained city wall, slashed out with a long knife, and sent a tall party leader flying away. Beside him, Zhang Xiong, Yue Zhengye and other Huaxia Weifu masters were like tigers. Entering the enemy with such arrogance, there are few generals among their party members, but now they are all a little out of breath, and their faces are slightly pale, which means that they have exhausted a lot.

Right above the only city gate of Ten Mile Fort, when the battle started to get tense, Ye Chen used his one-to-ten archery skills, or threw heavy objects with terrifying force, and all those who tried to smash, ram, or burn the city gate were thrown away. The party members were killed and retreated.

"Damn it!" Throwing a huge boulder forcefully, smashing the door bumper that the party member had just repaired again, Ye Chen couldn't help but swear a curse word for future generations.Hu Sanguang and others, who were always behind him to protect him, thought that it was rare to see the chief envoy like this.

"What kind of benefits did Yufeng promise to the Seventh Department of the Party, so desperately. After a day and a half, although nearly half of us were killed or injured, they have already died and injured, and they are still so desperate."

After a day and a half of fierce fighting, the casualty rate between the Dangxiang people and the Ten Mile Fort defenders had already exceeded half. However, by this time, neither the Dangxiang people nor the Song army knew how long they would have to fight before they could see victory. clues.

However, at this moment, the strength of the party members outside Shilibao still has the upper hand. They still have 1000 troops, but the Song army in Shilibao has less than [-] capable soldiers.Such a fierce fight was naturally beyond the surprise of Tuoba Zhenli and other party leaders, and it also made them feel mad and painful to death in the tribe with limited cavalry warriors, but now they are already on the verge of riding a tiger.If they couldn't kill Ye Chen, most of the support promised by the holy hall would not be given to them. Then they not only died in vain, but also completely offended the northwestern frontier army of the Song Dynasty, and even the entire Song Dynasty court. In the future, the court of the Song Dynasty will definitely retaliate severely against them when it becomes free.Therefore, their party has a belief at this time that they must attack the city of Ten Mile Fort and kill Ye Chen.

The fighting in the night gradually stopped, and the smell of blood and scorched smell filled the air.Wang Dongzi sat down inside the city wall. There was sticky blood on the city wall, but it had basically begun to freeze.He doesn't care about that.His body only felt intense fatigue and tearing pain. At first he thought he had been stabbed in the back or other parts, but then he realized that he was out of strength.

The extremely tense nerves began to relax, which still brought severe pain. He grabbed a small piece of snow that had not been stepped on or stained with blood at the corner of the city wall, and subconsciously put it in his mouth, wanting to eat.

For a whole day today, he killed more than 30 party members. Fortunately, he was not injured, but when he was concentrating on every blow and going all out, all the strength in his body was drained.

Dark clouds, desert snow, and walled cities.

Shilibao.

A small army village with 2 people gathered, in this winter, no longer the hustle and bustle of the past.Across the wall, the blood and corpses under the city wall gradually turned into hideous ice sculptures. At this time, together with the party camp in the distance, they also fell silent.

In the thick and towering city walls, gray and white colors render everything, and the occasional flame red does not look bright.The entire Ten Mile Fort was immersed in the grief of death and could not recover. The men of the military households in the city died, and the crying of women and children continued.Some people who helped also died, and the family crawled under the city wall and wept miserably.

Ye Chen stood on the top of the city wall, listening to these cries, watching some people looking for their own men among the corpses, the coldness that he had never felt before gradually gathered in his eyes, like two extremely deep cold pools.The deaths of these people were all caused by him alone. If he had not come to Shilibao, the people in Shilibao would not have died. Although Liu Shijun and several commanders did not tell the reason to the soldiers and people below, almost all the people below Everyone thought that the party members were poor and crazy, and they beat Caogu to Shilibao.But Ye Chen knew that it was because of his own personal reasons that three to four thousand people died and four to five thousand families lost their pillars, so women and children might live a hard life, and even experience some very miserable things.

"Five times the pension for the soldiers who died in the battle of Shilibao, Huaxia Weifu will pay the extra money. The families of the dead people will send the same amount." Ye Chen looked away and said in a deep voice.He can only do so much for the time being, some things will be discussed later.

Hu Sanguang and Liu Shijun hurriedly responded beside them.

The Xifeng clan, which was originally weak in the Eight Departments of the Party, has now changed its surname to the Li family. The party members led by Li Guangrui are already the undisputed overlord of the Eight Departments of the Party. They have developed vigorously in two or three years, and their clansmen have reached more than 70 , The army is close to [-], of which there are [-] cavalry alone. This is already a third-party force in the northwest that can stand against the Northwest Frontier Army, Fuzhou Zhejia and Linzhou Yangjia.

At noon yesterday, when more than 2 troops from the Seventh Department of the Party surrounded Shilibao and began to attack the city tragically, Li Guangrui, the lord of Xiazhou, met with a mysterious guest in the Xiazhou City Lord's Mansion.

Li Guangrui was also very surprised that such a guest came at this time.

At his position, he certainly knows the existence of the Holy Church. Although he is not very clear about the details of the Holy Church, he also knows that the influence of the Holy Church in the entire northwest and even the whole world is somewhat unfathomable. In just two or three years, his tribe has grown more than ten times, to such an extent.

As the power in his hands grows, Li Guangrui's ambitions gradually expand, but no matter what the ultimate ambition hidden in the deepest part of his heart is, the one thing he wants to accomplish most is to truly unify the Eight Departments of the Party, or It is said that the other seven party departments will be directly annexed.

Therefore, seven days ago, when the envoy sent by Yufeng, the great elder of the holy hall, asked him to play a play with the Zhe family in Fuzhou and the Yang family in Linzhou, he directly refused in a very gentle tone, which is extremely rare, and asked to kill him. He was asked to do the work of the young county king of the Song Dynasty, but the holy hall wanted to help him annex the other seven departments of the party.At that time, the emissary refused the matter on the grounds that Xiazhou was suspected by the Huaxia Weifu and someone was secretly watching him.In the end, the two broke up unhappy, and the emissary left with a cold face, throwing down a threat that Xiazhou must never send troops to Hengshan while the Dangxiang Seventh Department was empty.As a hero of one party, Li Guangrui was naturally very annoyed by such a threat that violated his own ideas. Still reluctantly agreed to the request of the emissary of the Great Elder of the Holy Church, and would not take the opportunity to send troops to Hengshan.

However, the young man who came to represent the second elder of the church said something to him that made him change his mind.

The envoy of the Second Elder of the Holy Church was extremely handsome, and very young, wearing white clothes. Li Guangrui felt a little inexplicably chilling in front of him, feeling as if the other party would dig out his heart in a trance.Naturally, Li Guangrui didn't know that this young man was named Cui Xi, and he was the fourth white crow in the holy hall. He Yu Daoxiang and Ye Chen were the youngest super masters in the world, and the most important thing was that Cui Xi was the most mysterious in the legend. Evil orthodoxy --- Demon Dao Since the dead old demon Yu, the only successor of the Devil Dao in the world is practicing the most authentic and mysterious magic arts in the world.

At that time, after Cui Xi proved that he came on behalf of the Second Elder of the Holy Church with special tokens and methods, he only said one sentence: "Now you take advantage of the emptiness behind the Seven Divisions, send troops to Hengshan, and annex the Seven Divisions. The Second Elder of the Holy Church, The Third Elder and Ninth Elder will support you to build another city, named Yinzhou, and then help you to build a country."

When Li Guangrui heard the words, his body trembled suddenly. After fully understanding what Cui Xi meant, the two parties signed a contract using the special method used by the Holy Church to deal with the major powers and big figures in the world over the years, and Cui Xi drifted away.After Li Guangrui was ecstatic, he led [-] iron cavalry to send troops to Hengshan, and [-] infantry guarded Xiazhou.

Therefore, Shilibao Yechen and others did not wait for the reinforcements from Gyeongju, but they ushered in a certain change.

After sunrise, the air above the city was still filled with the scorching smell of burning torches.The dust in the air dyed the clear blue water on the zenith a few days ago with a layer of ambiguous turbidity.

With his eyes closed, Liu Shijun leaned against the battlements and fell asleep.After a night battle, everyone in the city was exhausted.Although the strength of the party members is still two to six or seven times that of the Song army in the city, they stayed up all night last night, and no one could rest.Not only were the defenders in the city tired enough, but the enemy troops under the city did not continue to attack in the second half of the night.

It's just that even if it is an attack, Liu Shijun is not afraid at all now.According to the normal exchange ratio of combat power, in the siege battle, the party members do not have a ten to one force advantage, so it is difficult to capture the city. Of course, this is a big city, but now there are imperial envoys and imperial envoys. With four hundred black cavalry and more than 100 masters in the Huaxia Weifu, he has become more confident to fight until the end.What's more, in his opinion, it's time for reinforcements from Gyeongju to arrive.
