From eunuch to emperor

Just as he said why the iron kite hadn't arrived yet, Hou Qi reported that the iron kite had come after him.

Leng Yu asked, "How many?"

Hou Qi replied: "Three thousand are all elites!"

Long Chen said with a smile: "What are you talking about, is there any terrain suitable for ambush?"

Leng Yu shook his head and said: "The last general is not familiar with this place, I don't know if there is one."

It is the first time for everyone to visit the hinterland of Xixia, and they are not familiar with the terrain here.

"Go, search as you go."

Long Chen led the Xiaoqi Battalion to the north.

Five miles behind, three thousand elite cavalry were stepping up their pursuit.

The horses under the seat are all pure blood, the cavalry wears leather armor, a machete at the waist, a bow and arrow hanging on the horse, and a spear in the hand.

The leader was a man with a red face. This man was Major General Yu Chimeng of the Western Xia Cavalry.

"General, the Eastern Zhou cavalry is ahead."

When Hou Qi came back to report, Yuchi Meng asked, "How far?"

Hou Qi replied: "Wuli, they are speeding up and fleeing north."

Yu Chimeng sneered and said, "After chasing for so long, I finally almost caught up."

"Brothers, follow me, don't let them get away!"

Yu Chimeng picked up the whip and whipped it vigorously, the horse burst into another burst of horsepower, speeding up and galloping forward.

After chasing for more than ten miles, I saw dust flying from a distance, and horseshoe marks on the ground were messy.

"General, they won't cheat, will they?"

The deputy general reminded behind him.

Yu Chimeng sneered and said, "Is there any fraud? They have been attacking westward for the past two days, but today they suddenly fled northward. I think they are scared and want to enter the grassland from the north."

The relationship between the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the barbarians was very good. If they entered the grassland, it would be meaningless to chase after them.

"I heard that the Eastern Zhou army was particularly good at ambushes. There is a valley ahead. If there is an ambush, we will be in trouble."

The lieutenant general was more cautious, but Yu Chimeng said: "Even if there is an ambush, we have many people, so don't be afraid!"

For the past few days, Yu Chimeng has been chasing and Long Chen has been running, Yuchimeng thinks that Long Chen is afraid and dare not fight Xixia Tie Yaozi.

Yu Chimeng had never fought against the Eastern Zhou army, so he didn't know how powerful it was.

Seeing that his persuasion was useless, the deputy general had no choice but to follow and continue the pursuit.

Yu Chimeng led the iron kite into the valley, but the dust was still flying in front of him, and he could see the cavalry of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty not far away.

"See, they are speeding up and fleeing!"

Yuchimeng was overjoyed, he lashed the horse's whip fiercely, but the horse was already exhausted, no matter how he whipped, the speed still slowed down.

"Useless beast!"

Yu Chimeng scolded the horse for its lack of stamina, and the lieutenant sighed secretly: after two days of continuous pursuit, the horse has reached its limit.

In fact, these cavalry were also very tired.

shhhhhh...

A flurry of arrows suddenly flew out from both sides, Yu Chimeng knew that he was in an ambush, but he didn't panic, and shouted: "Form up, kill!"

Yu Chimeng knew he was being ambushed, but he didn't panic at all. He felt that he had a lot of people, even if the Eastern Zhou army was in ambush, it would be a flower in the middle.

Yu Chimeng stopped, and was the first to charge his horse to the side, but the strength of the horse was no longer enough, and the speed was very slow.

"Long Chengen is here!"

Long Chen gave a loud shout, rode his horse and charged down, and aimed at Yu Chimeng with the spear in his hand.

Hearing Long Chen's name, Yu Chimeng was taken aback. Deshan told him that this 500-man cavalry was led by an ordinary general, and he didn't expect Long Chen to be here.

However, Yu Chimeng quickly reacted and shouted angrily: "How dare you lie to me!"

He had never seen Long Chen before, so he thought that the general was a fake.

Long Chen was made to laugh by Yuchi Meng: "I'm still fake?"

The horse swooped down, extremely fast, Long Chen was in front of him in an instant, he stabbed with the spear in his hand, and Yu Chi Meng raised his sword to fight.

boom!

Long Chen changed stabbing to sweeping, and knocked the big knife in Yuchimeng's hand into the air, and at the same time, he swept Yuchimeng's chest, causing Yuchimeng to fall off the horse on the spot.

Bai Tingting, who caught up behind him, split Yu Chimeng's neck with a sword, and Yu Chimeng was killed on the spot.

The main general was killed, and the deputy general was taken aback.

When he saw the ambush, the lieutenant actually didn't care too much, because there were so many of them, the ambush was nothing.

But I didn't expect Yu Chimeng to be killed in a face-to-face meeting, and the general said that he was Long Chen, the deputy general finally panicked.

"withdraw!"

The lieutenant turned around and rushed towards the valley entrance, the three thousand iron harriers were in chaos, Long Chen rushed into the crowd, stabbing out the spear frequently, and the howling sound shook the valley.

Captain Leng Yu fought back from the front, blocking the escape route to the north, and Tie Yaozi had no choice but to flee.

Soon, three thousand iron harriers were wiped out, and only a few dozen horses rushed out of the encirclement and fled south.

"My lord, do you want to chase him down?"

Seeing that Bai Tingting ran away a little, she was afraid that they would leak the news that Long Chen was here.

"No, let them bring the news back."

Long Chen shook off the blood on Hongying.

"However, they know that the lord is here, and Xi Xia will definitely attack with all his might."

Long Chen is the Great Pillar Kingdom of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Once Kong Ji knew about it, he would definitely play Shi Le and mobilize all Xixia troops to besiege him.

"Don't be afraid, I know it well."

When Long Chen said that, Bai Tingting didn't say anything, she knew that Long Chen was full of tricks.

Long Chen ordered everyone to pick a good horse and take it away, and at the same time took off the iron kite's armor and put it on.

Captain Leng Yu asked: "My lord, do you want to replace it with an iron scorpion?"

"Why not?"

Long Chen took away Yu Chimeng's armor and badge, took a short rest, and immediately ran to the north.

The iron kite who was killed and scattered ran all the way to the nearest county town, and immediately sent a letter to the palace.

Xingqing City Palace.

Shi Le is discussing with Lu Qichang, the head of the Privy Council, about sending troops.

The institution in charge of the Xixia military is called the Privy Council, and the person in charge is called the Privy Envoy, which is equivalent to the Minister of War of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Lu Qichang is the queen's elder brother, so Shi Le put him in charge of the Privy Council.

"This king asks the prince to conscript 30 soldiers, and if he makes up [-], he will go to the Jade Buddha Pass."

Shi Le pointed to the map and said.

Lu Qichang, the privy envoy, said: "My minister agrees, with a superior force of 50, coupled with the bed crossbow and divine arm bow in the ordnance department, it will not be a problem to break through the Jade Buddha Pass."

Jing Tianlie suffered a great loss from the bed crossbow and the god arm bow in Jade Buddha Pass. After arriving in Xixia, he tried his best to persuade Xixia to build it.

So Shi Le established the Ordnance Department, specializing in the construction of bed crossbows and divine arm bows.

"Yes, this king thinks so too."

Shi Le felt that this battle could be won.

Just as he was talking, Ma Fang rushed into the room and reported, "Your Majesty, Jin County has sent an important secret report!"

Shi Le found it strange that Jin County is a county seat in the central part of Western Xia, so there could be some important secret performances.

Opening the secret music, Shi Le's face revealed a look of shock, and then he said ecstatically: "God help me, this guy wants to die!"

Lu Qichang asked: "What's wrong?"

Shi Le laughed loudly and said, "I received a letter from Tie Yaozi, saying that Long Cheng'en is near Jin County. Last time, the National Teacher reported that the Eastern Zhou cavalry was harassing the rear. He said it was just ordinary cavalry. I didn't expect it to be Long Cheng'en. That's great!"

"This guy has only five hundred cavalry, and he dares to go deep into the hinterland of my Great Xia. It's too arrogant, too arrogant!"

Shi Le laughed out loud with excitement.

"Pass down the decree, order the prince to stop conscription, and immediately dispatch 20 troops to round up Long Cheng'en!"

Shi Le felt that the pie had fallen from the sky.

The privy envoy Lu Qichang said: "With 20 troops to round up [-] cavalry, is it true that your majesty is mobilizing the crowd?"
