Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 733 The Great Retreat

Li Guangshun caught up with the Song army's defenders by the river, and killed more than two hundred Song troops in two rounds of impact, but he soon discovered the abnormality in the river, and the Song army on the opposite side had also lined up. Some cavalry were cut off from the south bank by the water flow, and were killed by the opposing cavalry.He sent people to investigate, and the Song army built a dam upstream.

Ye Chen and Yang Jiye hurried to Li Guangshun's side. The former looked around, while the latter raised his binoculars to observe. There were about [-] Song Army cavalry and [-] infantry outside the post station at Huangwan Pass, and the banner of Dang Jin stood out. , but their formation was also a bit chaotic, and it could be seen that they formed in a hurry. They seemed to be waiting for the black wolf army to cross the river.

Li Guangshun said to Ye Chen and Yang Jiye: "Your Majesty, General, the Song army built a dam upstream. The water in the river is very shallow and the flow is moderate. Their cavalry and infantry can easily wade through."

Ye Chen asked: "Has the upstream started to release water now?"

Li Guangshun shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know yet, but I have already sent people upstream to investigate."

Hu Sanguang said: "The investigation of Huangwan Pass by the spies sent by the minister has not been smooth. It turns out that the Song Army is here to repair this thing."

Today is the second time that the Black Wolf Army has encountered setbacks. First it was fire resistance, and now it has become water resistance. It can be seen that Dangjin has planned this retreat for a long time. The burning of the camp and water resistance are obviously Dangjin's design. He also specially sent Tang Peng to strengthen the defense of Huangwan Pass in advance, so that Hu Sanguang did not detect the specific situation of water resistance in advance.

This place is a more important point than the Lower River Valley, because of its narrow terrain and river barriers. In the various deduction of the General Staff Department, it was here that the Song Army was hit hard. Some people also suggested that the Song Army might build a dam, but In the end, both Yang Jiye and Ye Chen believed that as long as Song Guo's tail was bitten tightly, the dam would not have much effect. If it was flooded, the Song army would be drowned together.

Who knew that the party would be so ruthless and decisive that it would rather burn hundreds of soldiers under its command alive and burn valuable food, supplies, and tents than stop the Black Wolf Army with fire, thus creating a distance between them.

Ye Chen thought about it in his heart: this kind of experience staff department system has shown advantages in planning, but when such an emergency occurs, the staff members have no idea, and it still depends on him or Yang Jiye to make a decision.

"How are you going to cope?"

Li Guangshun replied: "Your Majesty, I have dispatched two thousand cavalry to dismount and march upstream to circumvent."

Yang Jiye shook his head and said: "Dangjin should not only have retained this manpower, there must be a support team in the valley to the east. They should be Tang Peng's troops who stationed at Huangwan Pass in advance yesterday. Most likely they want to wait for our army to cross the river. Sneak attack and flank attack on our army."

While the few people were talking, there was indeed the sound of roaring water coming from the upper reaches, and a tide rushing down, hit pieces of water in the river bed, and the water quickly filled the river bed.In the distance, the formation of the Song Army resounded the golden sound, turned around and left from the road between the two mountains of Huangwanguan. In the end, only five hundred soldiers were left surrounded by the banner of the party's progress. Calmly hit the horse and gallop away.

Ye Chen looked at the momentum of the water flow in the river and saw no signs of decreasing, so he said calmly in the direction of the big flag: "Fortunately, I sent Tuoba Gelu in advance, otherwise this time they would really have to withdraw like this." gone."

Liao Kingdom, Shangjing.

Yu Daoxiang looked at the little baby in her arms, who was like a powder carved jade, and teased the little guy to play. The little guy danced happily, making cheerful screams, and Yu Daoxiang's expression showed love from the heart Xiao Chuo saw this scene in his eyes, ten steps away from her, and he was determined.But the killing intent on Yu Daoxiang has not weakened in the slightest.

These days, Yu Daoxiang has been living in the bedroom of Empress Dowager Xiao Xiao Chuo.The baby emperor of the Liao Kingdom has been fed normally by the nanny within three steps of him, eats, drinks and sleeps normally.And Xiao Chuo was more than ten steps away from Yu Daoxiang, and never left half a step.The outside of the palace had already been surrounded by palace guards and palace guards for more than half a month, Xiao Chuo was afraid of hurting his precious son in the slightest, so he didn't dare to make any changes at all.Three days ago, one of Xiao Chuo's confidants suggested poisoning Yu Daoxiang's food, and Xiao Chuo immediately ordered the confidant to be dragged outside the palace and punished to death.

At this time, a court lady hurried in, knelt down to Xiao Chuo, and said, "I told the Queen Mother, the imperial doctor said that the Empress Dowager could not live for an hour, and the Empress Dowager said that she wanted to see the Queen Mother and Princess Haoyue before she died. .”

Yu Daoxiang couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words, showing grief, while Xiao Chuo sighed and stood up.

"I'm holding my little nephew to see my mother." Yu Daoxiang had already walked out of the hall as he spoke. There were thousands of people inside and outside the hall, and no one dared to stop him in the slightest. And consciously keep a distance from Yu Daoxiang - if you get too close and cause the queen mother to misunderstand, then you will follow in the footsteps of the court lady a few days ago.

Xiao Chuo led the people to keep a distance of ten steps from Yu Daoxiang, and also walked towards the palace of the Empress Dowager.

Yu Daoxiang was thinking about her mother who was about to die, and with the baby in her arms, she stepped quickly into the palace, and came to the empress dowager's bed, the imperial doctors and eunuchs in the palace had already retreated far away.On the bed, the empress dowager was blocked by several layers of thick veils, so she couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. Yu Daoxiang felt the breath of the person on the bed was weak, and her heartbeat was faint. Knowing that her mother was about to pass away, her eyes turned red with grief. endlessly.

Before he came to the bed quickly, Yu Daoxiang was about to lift the veil, when suddenly his face changed, and with a scolding sound, he hugged the baby tightly with his right hand, and swung his left hand to hit the top of the head.

A figure fell down from the top of her head like the wind, and hit Yu Daoxiang's palm with a fist. In the blink of an eye, Yu Daoxiang's complexion changed again, because her 'mother' who was on the bed turned over suddenly, and was struck by the top of her head. The man was much faster, passing by her right hand, it was as fast as lightning, even with her strength and agility, it was too late to react.

The person above the head flew out with a muffled grunt, and landed seven or eight steps away, bleeding from the corner of his mouth and suffering internal injuries.

Although Yu Daoxiang stood firmly in place, her face was extremely ugly, because the baby emperor of Liao Kingdom in her right hand had been snatched away.

Yu Daoxiang turned around and saw that it was two Taoist priests who attacked him.Who else pretended to be her mother and snatched the baby emperor from her, except Zhang Wumeng, one of the two half-step innate powerhouses in the world today.As for the other person, he is the second disciple of Zhang Wumeng, Xing Xiyang, the third person in the Taiping sect after Zhang Wumeng and Guo Wuwei.

Xiao Chuo rushed in from the outside with someone, and couldn't wait to touch his precious son from Zhang Wumeng's hands. After looking carefully for a long time, he found that it was intact, and he couldn't help being ecstatic and weeping with joy.

"Your Highness, it's a good luck to be poor." Zhang Wumeng said calmly after carefully handing the baby to Xiao Chuo.

Xiao Chuo quickly regained his composure, then handed over the baby to the nanny behind him, and asked someone to take care of him in his own palace, and then said to Zhang Wumeng: "Don't worry, Master Zhang, what I promised you will definitely be done." Tomorrow, Japan and China will decree to cancel all bans on Taiping Sect."

Zhang Wumeng said: "Thank you, Your Highness."

At this time, Xiao Chuo had already looked at Yu Daoxiang whose face was covered with frost, and said, "Haoyue, I want to cut you into pieces so that I can get rid of the overwhelming hatred in my heart."

Yu Daoxiang didn't speak, Zhang Wumeng hesitated and said: "Your Highness, Princess Haoyue cannot be killed."

Xiao Chuo's face turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "Why can't you kill him? Could it be that this palace is afraid that Xiangfu Kingdom will fail."

Zhang Wumeng said: "Xiangfu Kingdom is not scary, but Ye Chen is the one who is scary."

Xiao Chuo sneered, and said: "I know that Ye Chen is not simple, and his supernatural powers are not small, but I am in charge of the great Liao Empire, with millions of cavalry troops under his command, so how could he be afraid of him. Hmph! This time my son is in disaster, It was also caused by Ye Chen, and after this incident, Song Guo will not trouble Xiangfu Kingdom, so I will order the army to conquer Xiangfu Kingdom, capture Ye Chen alive, and execute him Ling Chi."

Zhang Wumeng shook his head and said, "Your Highness only knows one thing, but Ye Chen's true identity is not trivial."

Xiao Chuo frowned slightly, and said impatiently, "What identity?"

Zhang Wumeng sighed, and said: "As far as I know, Ye Chen possesses an immortal weapon that can kill people more than ten miles away. Zhao Guangyi, the king of Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty who had successfully plotted against him, was attracted by this fairy weapon." Kill. Ordinary people can't defend against it. If His Highness kills Princess Haoyue, with Ye Chen's feelings for Princess Haoyue and Ye Chen's disposition, he will go crazy and desperately avenge Princess Haoyue. And with Ye Chen's strength, holding such fairy weapon, even if His Highness holds our Liao Kingdom's million-strong army, the safety of His Highness and His Majesty cannot be guaranteed."

Xiao Chuo's face changed slightly, and then he looked solemn, and said: "Master Zhang, I can guarantee what you said."

Zhang Wumeng said: "What Pindao said is absolutely true. In addition, Pindao has always suspected that Ye Chen is the blood of an immortal living in the mortal world. He is not a mortal at all."

Xiao Chuo's pupils contracted, he was dumbfounded, and after a while he said: "What Zhang Zhenren said is really absurd, but there is proof."

Zhang Wumeng said: "Last year, on the day when the first emperor of the Song Dynasty, Yuhuangding, was assassinated, the sky and the earth changed in Luoyang Baiyun Mountain. A white light several feet wide rose into the sky. It was a fairy gate that hit the sky, although the fairy gate only appeared for a moment Then he disappeared, but Pindao was there at the time and saw it with his own eyes. The world he saw through the fairy gate must be the fairyland. And the gate of the fairyland can only be opened by Ye Chen borrowing the three jade pendants of Tianxing, Yinyue and Yangri."

When Xiao Chuo heard this, his eyes flickered, and he remained silent for a long time.After that heaven and earth change, she also sent people to check it, and there was indeed a super giant pit there, which was not caused by the power of the world at all.
