Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 674

Naturally, Ye Chen couldn't tell Han Xizai——more than 1000 years later, there was a gold mine with extremely rich reserves at Sanchakou, and he had a classmate who was the gold police there, so he just knew about it.

Ye Chen smiled, pointed to the sky, and said, "This matter must not be revealed."

Ye Chen said frivolously, but Han Xizai's heart shuddered when he heard it. He suddenly found that these days, because King Xiangfu was approachable, he was less and less cautious in speaking at the beginning. King Xiangfu was destined to be the emperor. Companion to a ruler is like companion to a tiger. As a courtier, one must know deeply 'Don't know what you shouldn't know! ''If you shouldn't ask, don't ask! ', otherwise it might lead to death.

The [-] party cavalry were mighty, with one man and two horses. After leaving the Hengshan grassland, the troops were divided into eight groups and moved to the eight states at an extremely fast speed.

The horses galloped wildly on the Gobi. Every half an hour, the knights flew up and down on their horses, jumping from the back of one horse to the back of their own. The horses kept walking, from the evening of the day before yesterday to the next In the early morning of the second day, the army had already arrived near Yazhou, which was nearly [-] miles away from the Hengshan grassland.

For the defenders of Bazhou, they were caught off guard. They never thought that the party members who had not fought in Caogu for more than half a year would suddenly attack Bazhou behind the six military strongholds.

As Ye Chen said, there has been no war in these eight prefectures for a long time, and the guards in the city have lost their basic vigilance. With the ability of Huaxia Weifu spies and killers, they boldly commit crimes and enter the city under false names. Disaster.

The [-] Dangxiang cavalry came on light cavalry. They had neither luggage nor siege equipment. The only option was to fight quickly. Ye Chen used almost all the power of Huaxia Weifu, and even used himself as a bait to kill the Northwest Frontier Army. The main force of the [-] army was diverted away, exposing the location of the gold mine and diverting the northwest frontier army.At the same time, the most powerful assassins and spies under his command were dispatched to make people panic in Fuzhou City and Linzhou City. In addition to Ye Chen's fierce reputation, the two families did not dare to make any rash moves.In addition, Gao Huaide was also used to hide high-level secret agents for the past two years, making the six army villages unresponsive and unclear about the situation.

This kind of planning can be said to have exhausted the means and strength in hand, but at most it can only win for one day.As long as Gao Huaide reacts, and all the military forces of Song Dynasty in the northwest react, they will never give them time to forcefully attack the eight states.Therefore, Ye Chen could only create an impossible miracle, to conquer the eight states in one day.Otherwise, the party's iron cavalry will have to retreat.

Facts have proved that, like the previous investigation and analysis results of Huaxia Weifu, most of Lingzhou and other eight states are so slack,
Because, five of the eight states were broken.

Five hundred Dangxiang cavalry in the uniform of the Great Song Frontier Army arrived five hundred paces away from Lingzhou City, only to be discovered by the defenders on the Lingzhou City Wall, and when they blew their horns in a hurry, they were guarding the city gate. When the [-] soldiers under the leadership of the squad leader were about to close the city gate, the killers and spies who sneaked in ahead of time started to kill [-] soldiers.

When the Song Army from other places in Lingzhou City arrived, the five hundred Dangxiang cavalry dressed as Song Army had rushed in like a torrent, guarding the city gate firmly.At the same time, [-] party cavalry who were also wearing the armor of the Song Dynasty uniform and hiding two miles away charged towards Lingzhou City with all their strength.

Two miles is only 1000 meters. For the cavalry sprinting at full speed, they rushed over in less than a minute. At this time, the defenders in Lingzhou City had just begun to besiege and kill the five hundred Dangxiang warriors guarding the city gate. .

The result can be imagined, five hundred cavalry suddenly moved out of the way, and nine thousand five hundred iron cavalry swept over from the gate of the city. People along the way neighed, hoofs sounded like thunder, and the roar was deafening.

The sudden war has plunged the whole Lingzhou into chaos. The people are running all over the street, the doors and windows of the vendors are closed, and there are Dangxiang warriors riding tall horses, but wearing the armor and uniform of the Song Army, in the city of Lingzhou. Rampage.

With a strong military advantage, coupled with the fact that one side came prepared and the other was caught off guard, the war lasted for three hours and it was almost over.Nearly 2000 of the 3000 defenders in Lingzhou City died, and the remaining 500 people surrendered and were disarmed.The party members lost only more than [-] people in battle.

Just when the people in Lingzhou City thought that the party members would kill and set fire as they did in the past when they were digging grass valleys. When they saw people with steel knives, they chopped them down, with spears, they stabbed them, when they saw women, they raped them, and when they saw them, they robbed them. The results were quite different.

Next, the city gates were closed and entry and exit were prohibited. Seven thousand troops went up the city wall and began to deploy defenses. There were 500 guards at each of the two city gates, 1000 guarded the prisoners, and the remaining 500 people acted as law enforcement teams and began to patrol the city to maintain order. , and beheaded more than 40 party fighters who disobeyed military orders, killed civilians, raped women, and robbed civilians.

Coupled with the secret propaganda and help of Huaxia Weifu spies, in the evening, Lingzhou City has largely restored order, but the people are still wary of the party members, and they dare not come out behind closed doors, and the streets and alleys are extremely deserted.

At the same time, the same method, the same style of play, and similar scenes took place in the seven states of Yanzhou, Dingzhou, Jingzhou, Longzhou, Shunzhou, Shengzhou, and Huizhou.It's just that compared with the attack on Lingzhou, the degree of success and the time it took, the number of battle casualties is different.And the siege of Shunzhou, Jingzhou, and Huizhou failed.

The main reason for the failure of the siege of the three states was that the three states were deeper into the hinterland of the Song Dynasty than the other five states, and were nearly a hundred miles farther away.It was discovered in advance, so it failed.

In fact, the success rate of these three prefectures was much lower than that of the other five prefectures, so Ye Chen led the Huaxia Weifu to deduce this situation in advance, and had already expected it and made corresponding plans. ——The 2 people who attacked Huizhou and Jingzhou turned around and galloped towards the vicinity of Huanzhou where Ye Chen was.The other 1 people went to the six army villages to deploy defenses at the pass leading to Bazhou to prevent 1 people from the six army villages from attacking.

Surrounding Huanzhou City, within a radius of a hundred miles, there are nearly hundreds of Huaxia Weifu spies and more peripheral members in various identities. All the messengers sent by the guards of Lingzhou and other eight state cities to Gao Huaide All fell into their hands.Therefore, Gao Huaide, who has been waiting for a night and a day with an army of [-], is still kept in the dark, and is still waiting for an army of [-] party members to kill Ye Chen, so he can catch Ye Chen alive.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly.In the northwest in August, it is the hottest time of the twelfth month of the year. The sun shines on the face, and I feel burning pain and sweat.

As a commander in chief, Gao Huaide can usually be pampered and pampered, but when he goes to the battlefield, he can only ride on a horse. Like ordinary soldiers, he eats dust and enjoys the sun in the sun.Only when resting at this time, the soldiers can build a simple pergola for the general, serve herbal tea, and enjoy special treatment.

He was old and didn't have a good rest at night. After riding a horse under the sun for half a day, Gao Huaide felt exhausted all over. At this time, he was resting with his eyes closed under the awning.There was a soldier next to him holding a fan and fanning the wind fiercely.

"Report to Commander! King Xiangfu and his party are resting in a grove more than 20 miles away. Four hundred black cavalry and three thousand Huaxia guards are patrolling nearby." A spy galloped over and dismounted ten steps outside the arbor. He ran to the pergola and knelt down on one knee, reporting loudly.

Gao Huaide didn't even open his eyes, and said lightly: "Okay, let's investigate again. Tell Zhang Hu, and send a spy to report the situation to the commander every half a stick of incense."

Not long after the spy left, another spy came and knelt down on one knee and said, "Marshal Qi, I found that [-] Dangxiang cavalry had rushed towards King Xiangfu and his party. King Fu traveled forty miles."

Gao Huaide opened his eyes suddenly, with a look of joy on his face, he said: "Okay, pass on the command of the commander, and prepare for the march."

After half a stick of incense, Gao Huaide, who was leading the army forward at a moderate speed, could not help frowning and meditating after hearing the report from another spy who had recently arrived.

After a while, Gao Huaide muttered to himself: "The [-] Dangxiang troops are actually wearing our Song uniforms and armor... Where did the Dangxiang people get my Song armor?"

"It's the Holy Church, and the only possibility is the Holy Church."

"That's right, the party members were already in collusion with the Holy Church."

"In addition, the thieves in the temple hate Ye Chen deeply, so this time, they spared no expense and tried to find a way to get [-] sets of armor from our Great Song Army for the party members, just to let them come here to kill Ye Chen smoothly. .”

"It should be like this. After all, the Holy Church and the party members shouldn't know that this is the commander's plan to kill people with a knife."

Thinking of this, Gao Huaide's doubts just now disappeared.

"Commander, with the strength of the Huaxia Guards' [-] Huaxia Guards and the [-] Black Cavalry, if the [-] party members want to defeat them, they will lose at least half of their strength. You can easily wipe out all the remaining tired soldiers on both sides and capture Ye Chen alive," said Liu Xianhua, an aide beside Gao Huaide.

Gao Huaide nodded slightly, expressing his affirmation of Liu Xianhua's words.

However, at this moment, another spy came to report: "Commander, General Zhang asked the humble officer to report to the commander, and the situation is not good."

Gao Huaide's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted, "What happened?"

The spy said: "Ye Chen and his party have joined forces with the [-] Dangxiang army and are heading towards Xiazhou at full speed."

Gao Huaide's body shook when he heard the words, he was stunned for a moment, and said, "We are together? What's the meaning of this?"

The spy immediately said: "Commander, the [-] Dangxiang army did not attack King Xiangfu and his party at all, but instead escorted them towards Xiazhou."
