Chapter Six
Ye Ming walked 10 miles forward before he found the main force of the Xixia Army on a small plain. Ye Ming ordered: "Dismount, and teams of ten will disperse. Just find out the number of people. We will meet here in half an hour." ..
Everyone shouted "Yes, sir" and dispersed.
Half an hour later, everyone came back one after another. Based on the information obtained by everyone's investigation, Ye Ming made some calculations in his mind, and was shocked because Ye Ming came to a terrible result. This Xixia main force was not the one who had been investigated before. The 100,000 soldiers and horses that were explored were instead 200,000. Ye Ming knew that he had to send this news back quickly, otherwise something big would happen.
"Mount your horse. The horse will rest and the people will not rest. Return to the Yanzhou camp."
"yes"
It's just that this place is too close to the Xixia camp, so I don't dare to make too much noise. I have to walk carefully for 10 miles before daring to mount my horse and run wildly.
Ye Ming and his party hurried back to Yanzhou City. Li Yuanfang took everyone back to the camp, and Ye Ming went to the Commander's Mansion to report the situation. The British public were shocked when they learned of this situation.
"It's a good thing we found out in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Then he said to Ye Ming, "You have made great contributions this time, and you should be rewarded. You should be promoted to the head of the capital, and made a ninth-grade benevolent and brave captain. You will continue to work hard."
"Yes, thank you sir, my subordinates will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy." Ye Ming cupped his fists and saluted.

On Yanzhou City, Ye Ming stood on the city wall and frowned at the Xixia army in the distance, thinking about how to end the war quickly. Because Minglan is 5 years old this year, and a letter came from home saying that her eldest sister Ye Qingyi is pregnant, Ye Ming knew that this was the beginning of the plot. There is no reason why Ye Ming is not in a hurry.
Two years have passed since the important news came back from Ye Ming's expedition of 120 miles to the city.
Because the main force of Xixia was discovered, the British government actively prepared for war and asked the imperial court for help. This war lasted for two years. Today Xixia attacked the city, and tomorrow the imperial court sent troops to cut off its food and grass. You and I have been fighting each other for two years without getting any benefits.
But this is an advantage for Ye Ming. Now the 15-year-old Ye Ming is already a fifth-grade General Dingyuan and leads the Xiaoqi battalion commander Tong Qianwu Jingqi. These five thousand men and horses are all Ye Ming's hard work in the past two years. Five thousand There are three horses per person, and they are equipped with armor. They were all taught Dragon Elephant Technique and Evil Spirit Technique by Ye Ming.
They have all recently reached the peak level of acquired cultivation. Even the war horses have been groomed day and night by the evil spirit technique, and they are no less than those good horses that have traveled thousands of miles.
Ye Ming's heart was filled with excitement when he thought of these five thousand troops. With such fighting power, they should be able to decide the outcome in one battle.
"General, the Xixia army has attacked the city." Just as Ye Ming was thinking about it, Li Yuanfang spoke up.
Ye Ming looked at where the commander's flag was at the rear of the Xixia Army. "Well, go down and get ready. I'll go to the commander's mansion."
When Ye Ming came to the Commander's Mansion, the soldiers around him all saluted respectfully and called General. This was what Ye Ming had done step by step in the past two years, and they were built up one by one with the heads of the Xixia Army.
Entering the combat command room, Ye Ming cupped his fists and saluted, "Commander, Xixia has begun to attack the city, and our Xiaoqi battalion can attack at any time."
The British Duke was looking at the march map at this time. Hearing this, he turned to look at Ye Ming, "General Ye is somewhat sure of where he is going."
Ye Ming proudly said "100%"
The British Duke was overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay, this battle depends on General Dingyuan. If you win, Xixia will never be underestimated from now on. I will personally ask for credit for you."
"Thank you, Commander. I will go back and prepare before setting off." Ye Ming replied loudly.
"Go ahead and be careful"
"My subordinates resign." After saying this, Ye Ming left the Commander's Mansion and came to the Xiaoqi Camp. Everyone was ready and waiting for Ye Ming.
Ye Ming rode on the horse and looked at everyone, "Brothers, do you know what we are going to do?"
"Know"
"Then are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid"
"Well, the honor will only be obtained on horseback. If I don't take Li Yuanhao's head in this battle, I will never return to the camp."
"Follow the general to the death"
"Set off"
Xixia camped at the west city gate. A group of people went out from the east city gate and walked in a big circle to a small slope on the side of the Xixia military camp. Half an hour later, the siege battle had entered a fierce stage. Ye Ming saw the opportunity and led the people directly. Go towards the banner of the King of Xixia
"Kill...ah..."
This sudden attack not only disrupted the flank formation of the Xixia army, but no one survived wherever the Xiaoqi battalion went. These soldiers of the Xiaoqi battalion killed the Xixia army like chopping melons and vegetables. They didn't even slow down a bit, and it felt like they were still alive. It seems to be getting faster and faster. Ye Ming rushed all the way and entered a deserted area. There was not even a single person in the area.
The movement here alarmed Li Yuanhao, who was in charge of the Chinese Army, "What happened?"
"Commander, there are enemy troops attacking on the left wing."
"Oh, how many people came"
"It looks like there are five thousand fine knights."
"Deploy 10,000 cavalry, cooperate with the left wing, and annihilate the invading enemy."
"Yes, Marshal"
But a moment later, Qin Ye came to report, "Oh no, Commander, the enemy is coming towards the Chinese army."
"What, what about the ten thousand cavalry? Why didn't you stop them?"
"Commander, those 10,000 cavalry suffered heavy casualties and are no longer able to fight anymore."
"Bastard, I want to see who it is. Only five thousand troops can break through my left wing." As he said this, he walked out of the king's tent and came to the high platform. He saw a group of troops on the left wing rushing towards the Chinese army's tent like a black torrent. Come
Wherever he went, no one could resist him. Seeing that he was not far from the king's tent, Li Yuanhao was also startled.
"Come here, give me the commander's order to attack and kill the invading enemy with iron kites." Then he asked
"There is such a fierce general in the Central Plains. Who is this person?"
A general next to him heard this: "Commander, look at the flag, it should be General Ye Ming of Dingyuan who has become famous recently."
"It turns out it's him. This person has a lot of my Xixia children's blood on his hands. He should be killed."
At this time, the Xiaoqi battalion led by Ye Ming had already penetrated the left wing and headed straight for the Chinese Army's King's Banner. Seeing that they were only a hundred steps away from the Chinese Army, the Xixia Chinese Army suddenly split a road in the middle, and oncoming were armored cavalry with men and horses. , Ye Ming knew at a glance that these were Xixia's ace heavy armored cavalry Iron Kites, numbering three thousand. Invincible. He made great military exploits for Xixia.
However, Ye Ming's Cavalry Battalion is no ordinary cavalry. Not only are they also heavily armored cavalry, but there are five thousand of them, and their minimum cultivation levels are all at the peak of acquired skills. The arrival of the iron kite is in vain.
At this time, the two sides were only fifty steps away. Ye Ming raised his gun and shouted, "Xiaoqi camp, follow me to kill the enemy!"
The soldiers behind him heard the words and loudly echoed, "Kill..."
