After Chen Yannian left, Ye Mingsheng and Liu Shilin were once again the only two people in the camp. Ye Mingsheng seemed to have thought of something, and squinted his eyes and picked up the letter Jiang Shouye wrote to him again.
Ye Mingsheng was already sure that Jiang Shouye was deceiving him, but after receiving the news of the reinforcements, Ye Mingsheng had other ideas in mind after reading this letter...
Liu Shilin was also a smart man. Seeing Ye Mingsheng's actions, he understood what he was thinking. He hesitated and said, "Brother Ye, I think it's better for us to be more cautious at this time and not take risks!"
After hearing Liu Shilin's suggestion, Ye Mingsheng was silent for a moment and nodded. Seeing this, Liu Shilin, who was relieved, also said goodbye and left.
Sitting alone, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but start calculating again. After calculating, he shook his head, sighed, and completely gave up the idea in his heart.
Liu Shilin was right. Now that reinforcements were in sight, he was about to completely win this gamble, and his career was about to start. There was really no need for him to take this risk at this critical moment.
Now including Liu Shilin's men, the combat strength of his side will not exceed 2,000, and even if Jiang Shouye's 3,000 Japanese soldiers are not included, the Gongdu army assembled outside the city will reach 4,000. There are about five thousand people. As the saying goes, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. With one hand at a disadvantage, there is absolutely nothing good to gain.
Moreover, although Jiang Shouye, the person who wrote to him, may have noticed the arrival of his reinforcements and realized the danger, so he chose to surrender, this is only a possibility after all. He has no way to confirm now, what exactly did he think? of.
If what I thought was correct was that he was really pretending to surrender, and he was greedy for power and rashly went out of the city to fight and lost Liu Jing, he would really have no chance of atonement for his sin.
For the current plan, we should remain unchanged in response to all changes, guard Liu Jing, and not give the enemy the slightest chance at this last moment. As long as this way, we can be invincible without fear of any conspiracy.

···············
Two days later, on the Caijia Plain outside the south of Liujing City, the palace soldiers besieging Liujing and the cavalry troops rushing for reinforcements encountered Yuan Hui's troops. The two armies set up battle formations in sequence, preparing for battle.
After discovering that Xiang Yuanhui's troops had appeared in Pingchengzi, the thousands of palace soldiers who had just completed the unified command and had not yet had time to attack the city on a large scale suddenly felt anxious. At this time, something happened again that made everyone feel helpless. One thing that came to mind was that Jiang Shouye, who had always prided himself on being a loyal member of the royal family, actually turned against him and surrendered to Xiang Yuanhui.
Jiang Shouye's rebellion was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, directly putting the Gongdu army besieging Liujing into a desperate situation. The Gongdu people had no choice but to curse Jiang Shouye for being despicable and shameless, and quickly Talking hastily towards the south.
The army in the palace capital was undoubtedly serious about escaping. In just two days, they ran a full hundred miles, and their marching speed was not unpleasant.
But unfortunately, in the final analysis, those with two legs could not outrun those with three legs. Soon they were chased by Xiang Yuanhui's three thousand cavalry to the plain.
Although it was noon, the sun was already obscured by thick clouds in the sky, and a gentle breeze blew in the gentle wilderness.
Three thousand Zhou cavalry and five thousand palace soldiers fought in military formations from east to west. Although the battle had not yet begun, it seemed that everyone already understood what the outcome of this battle would be... ····
Looking at the poorly equipped and demoralized palace soldiers not far away, Xiang Yuanhui, one of the most powerful generals in the Forbidden Army, pulled out a contemptuous smile. In the next second, without any hesitation, he directly drew out his sword and swung it towards Gongdu's military formation, letting out a roar.
"kill!"
With this roar, Xiang Yuanhui, who was wearing heavy armor, took the lead and rushed towards the Gongdu military formation. Behind him, the three thousand elite Zhou cavalry were unwilling to lag behind and closely followed the pace of their general. charge.
The collective charge of three thousand Zhou army cavalry made the palace soldiers on the opposite side feel strong wind coming towards them, and even the ground under their feet seemed to be shaking.
Seeing that the Zhou army was about to enter the phalanx, the generals of Gongdu woke up from a dream and loudly urged the archers to come out and release arrows, and the pikemen set up their spear formations.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Hundreds of arrows were thrown out from the Gongdu military formation and shot at the charging Zhou cavalry. Although there were many arrows, because the Zhou soldiers generally wore armor, they only cost dozens of lives, like wolves. The tiger-like cavalry of the Zhou army rushed into the Gongdu army formation.
Although three rows of spears were set up in front of Gongdu's military formation, they could not stop them at all. Thousands of Zhou army's cavalry collided. As soon as the two sides came into contact, the seemingly thick Gongdu military formation was crushed. Several holes were torn.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, the weapons of both sides were constantly swung. The Great Zhou cavalry rushed into the enemy's formation, waving the bloodthirsty sword in their hands, harvesting the lives of the palace soldiers. For a moment, the palace soldiers were miserable. The screams and the heavy impact of the armor were heard endlessly, resounding throughout the plain.
The five thousand palace soldiers only lasted for a cup of tea, but they could no longer withstand the slaughter of the Zhou army's cavalry. No matter how their generals shouted for orders, they still collapsed backwards like a flood breaking a dike. At this time The balance of victory has inevitably tilted in the direction of Dazhou.
Xiang Yuanhui, who had killed four or five enemy troops in a row, felt the enemy troops' defeat and ordered loudly with a grin:
"My sons, don't let go of a palace dog. Today is the day to make great achievements!"
"Kill!"
With the issuance of the military order to Yuan Hui, the fighting spirit of the Zhou army's cavalry, which had the absolute upper hand on the battlefield, became even higher. They accelerated the killing speed, making this war look more like a hunting game.
An hour later, the setting sun was like blood, and no palace soldiers were seen standing on the battlefield. Countless falcons were constantly circling in the sky, swooping down from time to time, pecking at the fresh corpses on the battlefield.
Under the pursuit of the Great Zhou Iron Cavalry, the five thousand palace soldiers, except for a few hundred lucky ones who ran into the deep mountains and old forests and escaped the disaster, all the others died tragically under the sabers and hoofs of the Great Zhou Iron Cavalry.
Seeing the corpses scattered in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction to Yuan Hui, wiped off the blood on his saber, hit the whip with a wave of his hand, turned the horse's head with his men, and ran towards Liu Jing triumphantly.
(I wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival! I wish everyone good health, all the best, and a happy new year! Hair! Hair!)
