Just when I asked why the kite hadn't arrived yet, the waiter reported that the kite was chasing me.
Leng Yu asked: "How many are there?"
Hou Qi replied: "Three thousand, they are all elites!"
Long Chen smiled and said: "What are you talking about? Is there any suitable terrain for an ambush around?"
Leng Yu shook his head and said: "I am not familiar with this place, I don't know if I am."
This is the first time for everyone to come to the hinterland of Xixia and they are not familiar with the terrain here.
"Let's go, look for it as we go."
Long Chen led Xiaoqiying to the north.
Five miles behind him, three thousand elite cavalry were intensifying their pursuit.
The horses under the seat are all pure blood. The cavalry are wearing leather armor and have scimitars at their waists. They have bows and arrows hanging on their horses and long spears in their hands.
The leader is a red-faced man, this man is Xixia Cavalry Major General Wei Chimeng.
"General, the Eastern Zhou cavalry is in front."
When Hou Qi came back to report, Yuchimeng asked: "How far is it?"
Hou Qi replied: "Wuli, they are speeding up to flee north."
Yuchimeng sneered: "After chasing for so long, I finally almost caught up."
"Brothers, chase after me, don't let them escape!"
Yuchimeng picked up the whip and whipped it hard, and the horse burst out with another burst of horsepower, speeding up and running forward.
After chasing for more than ten miles, I saw dust flying in the distance and horse hoofprints on the ground were messy.
"General, they are not cheating, are they?"
The deputy general behind him reminded.
Yuchi Meng sneered and said, "Is this a scam? They have been attacking westward for the past two days, and today they suddenly fled north. I think they are afraid and want to enter the grassland from the north."
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty had a good relationship with the barbarians. If they entered the grassland, it would be meaningless to pursue them.
"I heard that the Eastern Zhou army is particularly good at ambushes. There is a valley in front of us. If there is an ambush, we will be in trouble."
The lieutenant general was more cautious, but Yuchi Meng said: "Even if there is an ambush, we have more people, so we are not afraid!"
In the past few days, Yuchimeng kept chasing and Long Chen kept running. Yuchimeng thought that Long Chen was afraid and did not dare to fight Xixia Tieyaozi.
Yuchimeng had never fought against the Eastern Zhou army, so he didn't know how powerful it was.
Seeing that his attempts to dissuade him were useless, the deputy general had no choice but to follow and continue the pursuit.
Yuchi Meng led the Iron Kites into the valley. The dust was still flying in front, and he could see the Eastern Zhou cavalry not far away.
"Did you see them running away quickly?"
Yuchi was overjoyed and whipped the horse hard with the whip, but the horse was already weak. No matter how hard he whipped it, the speed still slowed down.
"Good-for-nothing beast!"
Yuchimeng scolded the horse for its lack of endurance. The lieutenant general sighed in his heart: After two days of continuous pursuit, the horse has reached its limit.
In fact, these cavalry are also very tired.
Boo hoo hoo...
A burst of arrows suddenly flew out from both sides. Yuchimeng knew that he was being ambushed, but he did not panic and shouted: "Line up and kill!"
Yuchimeng knew that he was being ambushed, but he did not panic at all. He felt that he had more people, and even if the Eastern Zhou army ambushed, it would only bloom in the middle.
Yuchimeng stopped and was the first to ride his horse to the side, but his horse was no longer strong enough and the speed was very slow.
"Long Chengen is here!"
Long Chen shouted loudly, galvanized his horse and charged down from a high position, aiming directly at Yuchi Meng with his spear.
Yuchimeng was startled when he heard Long Chen's name. Deshan told him that this cavalry of 500 people was led by an ordinary general. He didn't expect Long Chen to be here.
However, Yuchimeng reacted quickly and shouted angrily: "How dare you deceive me!"
He had never met Long Chen and thought that the future general was a fake.
Long Chen was made to laugh by Yuchi Meng: "I still have some lies?"
The war horse dived at an extremely fast speed. Long Chen was in front of him in an instant, stabbing with the spear in his hand. Yuchi Meng raised his sword to fight.
boom!
Long Chen changed from stabbing to sweeping, knocking away the sword in Yuchimeng's hand. At the same time, the sword hit Yuchimeng's chest, and Yuchimeng fell off his horse on the spot.
Bai Tingting, who caught up behind him, split Yuchimeng's neck with a sword, and Yuchimeng was killed on the spot.
The general was killed, and the deputy general was shocked.
When he saw the ambush, the lieutenant actually didn't care much, because there were so many of them, and the ambush was nothing.
Unexpectedly, Yuchi Meng was killed as soon as he met him. The general said that he was Long Chen, and the deputy general finally panicked.
"withdraw!"
The lieutenant turned around and rushed towards the entrance of the valley. The three thousand Iron Kites team was in chaos. Long Chen rushed into the crowd, stabbing out the spear frequently, and his wails shook the valley.
Colonel Leng Yu fought back from the front and blocked the escape route to the north, forcing Tie Yaozi to flee.
Soon, three thousand iron kites were annihilated, and only a few dozen horses broke out of the siege and fled south.
"Sir, do you want to pursue me?"
Bai Tingting ran away because she was afraid that they would leak the news that Long Chen was here.
"No, let them go back with the news."
Long Chen shook off the blood stains on the red tassel.
"But, if they know that the Lord is here, Xixia will definitely use all their strength to besiege him."
Longchen was a major kingdom in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Once Kongji was known, he would definitely report to Shi Le and mobilize all the troops of Xixia to besiege.
"Don't be afraid, I know it well."
When Long Chen said this, Bai Tingting said nothing. She knew that Long Chen had many tricks.
Long Chen ordered everyone to pick a good war horse and take it away, and at the same time, he took off the iron kite's armor and belt.
Captain Leng Yu asked: "Sir, do you want to change into the iron kite's armor and fish-eyed pearls?"
"Why not?"
Long Chen collected Yuchi Meng's armor and token, took a short rest, and immediately ran to the north.
The killed Tie Yaozi ran all the way to the nearest county seat and immediately sent a message to the palace.
Xingqing City Palace.
Shi Le was discussing with Lu Qichang, the head of the Privy Council, about sending troops.
The military agency in Xixia was called the Privy Council, and the person in charge was called the Privy Envoy, which was equivalent to the Minister of War in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Lu Qichang was the queen's brother, so Shi Le put him in charge of the Privy Council.
"I asked the prince to recruit 100,000 troops. If we collect 300,000 troops, we will then march to Jade Buddha Pass."
Shi Le pointed at the map and said.
Privy Councilor Lu Qichang said: "I agree that with a superior force of half a million, plus the bed crossbows and divine arm bows from the Ordnance Department, it will not be a problem to break through the Jade Buddha Pass."
Jingtian Lie suffered a big loss from the bed crossbow and the divine arm bow at Yufo Pass. After arriving in Xixia, he tried his best to persuade Xixia to build it.
Shi Le then established an ordnance department, specializing in the construction of bed crossbows and divine arm bows.
"Yes, I think so too."
Shi Le felt that he could win this battle.
Just as he was talking, Ma Fang rushed into the room and reported: "Your Majesty, an important secret message has been sent from Jin County!"
Shi Le found it strange that Jin County, a county in central Xixia, could have any important secrets.
After opening the secret music, Shi Le's face showed a look of shock, and then he said ecstatically: "God help me, this guy is looking for death!"
Lu Qichang asked: "What's wrong?"
Shi Le laughed and said: "Tie Yaozi wrote a letter saying that Long Chengen was near Jin County. Last time, the national division reported that the Eastern Zhou cavalry was harassing the rear. He said it was just ordinary cavalry. He didn't expect it to be Long Chengen. That's great!"
"This guy only has 500 cavalry, and he dares to go deep into the heart of our country. He is so arrogant, so arrogant!"
Shi Le laughed excitedly.
"Pass an order to the Crown Prince to stop conscription and immediately send out 200,000 troops to round up Long Chengen!"
Shi Le felt like something was falling out of the sky.
Privy Councilor Lu Qichang said: "With 200,000 troops to round up 500 cavalry, is the king going too far?"
