Three poles high in the sun, the gate of Qin Yi's camp suddenly opened, and a group of nearly 10,000 infantrymen rushed towards the northwest.
In the woods in the distance, a scout crouched on the ground. Seeing this scene, he was immediately overjoyed. He waited until the enemy soldiers disappeared and then hurriedly ran back to Lucheng and climbed up the city wall in a hanging basket.
As soon as he reached the top of the city, he jumped off the hanging basket and ran towards the city guard's mansion.
A few moments later, he arrived at the city guard's mansion. After passing through the gate, he saw the city guard Xun Yucheng inside. Without waiting for the other party to ask, the scout hurriedly reported, "General, there are indeed more than 10,000 troops in the Qin Yi camp. They quietly left the camp.
, run to the northwest!"
"It's just as we expected!"
Northwest of Lücheng, fifty miles away.
A group of people suddenly appeared and ran forward along the official road.
They held the battle flag with the word "Qin" and wore armor and stomach. They lined up in a long queue and walked in a hurry, as if they had some important purpose.
In the woods in the distance, a group of men and horses lurked, all of them were Liu Kang's ambushes. Seeing Qin Yi's troops appear, General Liu Kang was overjoyed.
The imperial court has suffered hardships and has been defeated so far, but today, the bad luck has finally come to an end. It is time for Qin Yi to taste what it feels like to fail!
Today's battle will completely change the situation!
With great excitement in his heart, General Liu Kang couldn't help but clench his hands, take deep breaths, and suppress the urge to give orders to let the soldiers go out.
Now is not the time, we have to wait until the enemy soldiers get closer, and even closer...
Now!
"The whole army charges!"
After giving the order, the Liukang soldiers who were ambushed in the forest roared and rushed out, like wolves and tigers, and rushed into the enemy's ranks.
The long queue of Qin Yi soldiers had no time to react and were immediately cut into several sections. They fought independently and were unable to obey orders. They were like scattered sand and were beaten back steadily.
Such an appearance made the Liukang soldiers so happy that they almost became red-eyed.
Since Qin Yi sent troops, Liu Kang has never received any benefits. Now, he must get back his capital and profits!
Seeing casualties in his headquarters, General Linzhan at the end of the team quickly shouted, "Withdraw troops, withdraw quickly!"
The sound of gold ringing was loud, and when the soldiers of Qin Yi heard it, they quickly ran away. How could the Liukang soldiers let them go? So one side ran away and the other chased them.
General Liu Kang saw it and laughed, ecstatic about his own victory.
How could he let go of this opportunity to expand his victory and quickly ordered, "Pursue the whole army!"
30,000 ambushes then pursued and killed nearly 10,000 Qin Yi troops.
Seeing that Qin Yi's soldiers began to abandon their helmets and armor in order to escape for their lives, Liukang's soldiers became even more excited, and the pace of pursuit accelerated again.
At this moment, on a high mountain in the distance, the deafening sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded, and a group of black iron cavalry rushed from top to bottom.
Like a black tide, it sweeps across with great force!
Liukang's soldiers were unable to dodge and were immediately hit by the cavalry. Like a sickle, the cavalry passed by and everyone fell to the ground!
The infantry of Qin Yi, who were running wildly, stopped suddenly and turned around to kill. The soldiers of Liukang suddenly understood that everything was a conspiracy!
They screamed loudly and wanted to run away, but their footsteps could not be faster than the black iron cavalry. Before they could escape far, they were instantly submerged by the black torrent.
Within a short time, more than ten thousand bodies were lying on the ground, bleeding for miles!
After chasing for more than ten miles, Qin Yi, who was wearing silver armor and holding a blood-stained spear, ordered the Yi Ziying cavalry behind him to stop slowly.
A lieutenant from Yizi Camp rode forward and said with admiration, "The Commander-in-Chief really knows the enemy like a god!"
After the news that Chongcheng soldiers and horses attacked the dynasty's granary but were repulsed reached the camp, everyone was filled with joy and had no other thoughts.
And he was the same. Apart from sighing secretly, he didn't think about what to do.
But a famous general is a famous general. In an instant, the commander-in-chief acted according to the situation and came up with a plan.
It can be seen from this that the commander-in-chief’s resourcefulness far exceeds that of everyone else!
After hearing the compliment, Qin Yi smiled slightly but did not answer.
When he first received the news that the granary was safe, he guessed that if the Chongcheng city guards attacked the dynasty's granary, they would definitely notify Lucheng and Kangdu, so that they could counterattack together after they succeeded.
After learning about this, Lucheng City Guards will definitely take precautions.
Therefore, Qin Yi planned to take advantage of his plan and sent someone to falsely spread the news, so that the guards of Lucheng were fooled into thinking that the Linzhan granary had been burned down.
When the other party learns, they will definitely set up an ambush near the Liukang Granary, waiting for their side to rob the grain.
In order to draw out the opponent's ambush and defeat it in one fell swoop, Qin Yi also set up an ambush and used the strategy of defeating the sheep to lure the opponent to his own ambush location.
As expected, the opponent fell into the trap, so this scene occurred. The enemy soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and almost the entire army was wiped out.
In Lü City, there were originally 150,000 guards, but now there are 30,000 casualties, leaving only more than 120,000.
This injury did not cause any damage to Lucheng, but Qin Yi believed that it would be a huge blow to the defenders of Lucheng.
The other party will know that every move they make is under their control.
All their thoughts and strategies are of no use!
Destruction is their true destination!
……
Linzhan Dynasty, Zhanjing Palace City.
In the main hall, the empress is sitting behind a table, her head lowered, approving the memorial.
On her beautiful face, sometimes her eyebrows are furrowed, sometimes her red lips are raised slightly, which is very touching, and the whole study is filled with light.
Time passed slowly, and after reviewing part of the memorial, the empress put down her round pen, stretched out gently, and her slim body suddenly became curved.
Glancing brightly, she saw the test paper lying aside, and the empress couldn't help but curl her red lips.
Stretching out her white catkins and picking up this examination paper, the empress felt a mixture of emotions in her heart.
This examination paper is the strategy written by Qin Yi when he participated in the Taice Academy examination two years ago.
She had no idea that that young man would now become her right-hand man, opening up new territories for her.
But now, I haven’t seen you for a long time.
But the empress still remembered his voice and smile.
I remember his solemn but handsome face when he stood in the hall.
I remember that when he went to court, he secretly glanced at me.
I remember the heroic look of him walking towards me step by step to the beat of the drum in the center of the attention of thousands of people.
I also remember the feeling of stepping down from the high platform, reaching out to help the other person up, and holding hands...
Realizing that her mind was wandering, the empress shook her head slightly, wanting to throw away all these reverie.
This guy is not in the court, but he still comes to disturb her... She was angry in her heart. The empress gathered her thoughts and was about to continue reviewing the memorial, but she heard the eunuch enter and report respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister of the Armed Forces wants to see you."
The empress was a little surprised, but soon she guessed that there should be progress in the investigation, and she immediately responded, "Announce his appearance."
Not long after, the solemn-faced Prime Minister walked quickly into the palace, raised his hands and said, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Seeing the other party's expression, the empress was slightly surprised. She knew that Wu Xiang had a very good temperament and could not express his joy or anger, but now he looked like this. Could it be that Yuzi had made a surprising discovery?
So, she asked doubtfully, "Is there something important?"
The Prime Minister Wu nodded and said in a deep voice, "The military crossbow has made important progress. From the manager of the weapon warehouse, Wei Chen learned that Geng Qing, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, was involved. Wei Chen led his people to Geng Qing's residence.
I met His Highness Prince Jing outside the mansion."
When she heard the word "Prince Jing", the empress's beautiful eyebrows suddenly frowned.
But she didn't say much, maybe it was just a coincidence, so she continued to listen.
Prime Minister Wu continued, "After Geng Qing was captured, Geng Qing was attacked and died in prison before the Criminal Department could interrogate him."
"Fortunately, the person who committed the crime was found to be an official from the Ministry of Punishment. After interrogation, he was recruited as it was, saying that he was bribed by someone else, and the person who bribed him was a guard of Prince Jing."
When the empress heard this, a trace of surprise and anger appeared on her beautiful face.
She had already guessed before that there must be someone with a very high status in the imperial court.
But she didn't speculate on the prince's side. As a royal relative, there was no reason to get involved with this group of villains who did all kinds of evil.
But I didn’t expect that the always gentle and polite Prince Jing would be involved!
"The humble minister came here to ask His Majesty whether Prince Jing should be interrogated." said Wu Xiang.
Prince Jing is the prince, and if he wants to interrogate, he must obtain the permission of the empress.
The empress narrowed her bright eyes tightly, and after pondering for a moment, she said in a deep voice, "It's accurate, but don't make it public!"
If it were publicized, it would not only damage Prince Jing's reputation, but also make Linzhan the laughing stock of others.
The Prime Minister Wu nodded, excused himself, and left the hall.
After leaving the palace, facing the many imperial spies and guards waiting outside, Prime Minister Wu gave a firm order, "Go to Prince Jing's Mansion, invite Prince Jing to the Ministry of Punishment, and tell him that he has something to ask about the truth. Remember not to publicize it." p>
Many imperial spies followed the order and left.
Returning to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Prime Minister Wu sat at the main seat, slowly drinking tea, while the Minister of the Ministry of Justice was accompanying him.
The two chatted for a few words, but before they could say much, they saw hundreds of imperial spies running into the hall, with anxious expressions on their faces, "Master Wu Xiang, Prince Jing is missing!"
"What!" Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was shocked and stood up.
When the Prime Minister Wu heard this, his eyes suddenly shrank.
Originally, he only suspected Prince Jing and was not sure that he was the mastermind of Jun Nu Gu.
After all, there is a warning from King Ning’s poisoning with eucalyptus, and the enemy will frame him.
But now, Prince Jing has disappeared. Could it really be him?
Or could it be said that he was just injured and disappeared?
"Have you found out where he went?" Wu Xiang asked with a frown.
The Imperial Spy Guard quickly reported, "I asked the people in Prince Jing's Mansion, whether it was the princess or the maids and servants, they all said that Prince Jing brought a package this morning, as if he was going on a far journey, and he brought more than a dozen people with him.
The confidant guard left the palace."
"The princess also said that Prince Jing put a lot of silver coins and bank bills in the package!"
Prime Minister Wu had no more guesses and was certain that there must be something wrong with Prince Jing, so he would abscond in fear of crime.
"The Imperial Spy Guards and the Criminal Department's detectives are all dispatched to search the entire city and the outskirts of Zhanjing. Prince Jing must not be allowed to escape from Zhanjing!" Prime Minister Wu finished speaking quickly and rushed towards the palace with his guards. This news must be informed to His Majesty as soon as possible!
