Chapter 1743 Stop the Beiting Protectorate Army!
Chapter 1743
"Boom!"
And not long after this person entered, accompanied by a loud noise, the earth shook and the sky was shaken. Countless imperial guards in strong and sharp clothes suddenly leaped out from the darkness and quickly surrounded the entire stone house.
"Don't move! The forbidden army will investigate, and anyone who moves will die!"
Accompanied by a rattling sound, countless sharp arrows were aimed at the room, and at the same time, dozens of guard cavalry fiercely kicked open the door and broke in.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
Accompanied by the sound of panic, facing densely packed swords, guns, swords and halberds, as well as dozens of crossbow arrows, in the room, more than a dozen disguised Hu people dressed in Han costumes raised their hands high and fell to the ground one after another. And behind them, there are piles of gold and iron that have been packed in wooden boxes.
"Damn it, how could it be a bunch of barbarians?!"
In the stone house, all the imperial guards looked at each other, speechless. After working for a long time, the result was a bunch of Hu merchants secretly selling gold and iron here. Although the top gold and iron in Datang belonged to military supplies, and had already been included in the list of military supplies because of Wang Chong, this was completely different from the target they wanted to arrest.
"Take them all to me, put them in prison, and give them a hard lesson!"
The leading spy from the East Palace waved his hand fiercely and said:
"In addition, the report said that the operation failed, and no one from the Alien King family has been found for the time being!"
"Others listened to the order and immediately searched around. No matter what, we must find the soldiers and horses of the foreign king in the city!"
"yes!"
Accompanied by bursts of resounding echoes, a group of spies from the East Palace quickly dispersed their eyes and ears, and the forbidden soldiers who were summoned by them also quickly left here.
In just a moment, this remote alley quickly returned to calm, but the scattered spies and eyes and ears of the Eastern Palace, as well as the retreating large group of Imperial Guards, did not know that behind the stone courtyard they surrounded and broke into for investigation , not far away, a pair of eyes watched them silently until they disappeared into the endless distance.
"My lord's judgment is indeed correct. The East Palace is really alert and has started to attack us. Fortunately, the lord has a clever plan. If we get to the East Palace, we will definitely do something in the next few days.
Let us move our position in advance, otherwise we will be the ones caught! "
The man muttered to himself, and quickly turned around:
"Everyone listens to the order and immediately reports the news here to the prince. In addition, this place has become unsafe. Everyone moves to another location. Without orders, it is strictly forbidden to go out!"
"yes!"
In the room, a group of people responded one after another and relaxed. Looking carefully, these people had sharp eyes, raised temples, and calloused palms, and exuded an iron-blooded smell of strict orders and discipline. Apparently they were all members of the military.
When Jin Youshi's imperial army cooperated with the eyes and ears, the city defense army and the city guard army searched for Wang Chong's troops everywhere in the capital in the name of arresting the enemy's assassins and spies, they left the west gate of the capital and headed north all the way to another place extremely far away from the capital. In this place, the mountains are continuous and undulating.
In such a deserted place, except for hunters, hired guards, and occasional merchants who pass by here, basically no one will appear here.
At this moment, the mountains and the land are silent.
"Wow!"
Suddenly, without the slightest sign, the mountains trembled, and countless birds seemed to be frightened, soaring into the sky from the mountains on both sides of the winding passage. Immediately afterwards, huge eagle sparrows spread out in the sky and flew over from a distance, circling continuously in the sky, as if they were scouting for something.
"Boom!"
But in just a moment, the earth roared, the endless mountains trembled, and accompanied by the sound of horseshoes clattering like rain, an army of tens of thousands of people was moving towards here at an astonishing speed. come.
"Xi Yuyu!"
With a flash of light, accompanied by an intense neighing of the horse, a tall and strong horse that was as black as ink suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the mountain, and on the horse's back, a strong and burly general with a black beard looked at him. Like a copper bell, it looks terrifying.
"Hurry up! Target the capital, advance at full speed! Everyone follow up with all their strength, and those who disobey the order will be killed!"
The rough voice exploded over the mountains like a thunderbolt.
Accompanied by these stern voices, war horses neighing, and banners fluttering, the Beiting army of tens of thousands of people immediately accelerated a bit, charging along the southern mountain road like a rainbow all the way.
Starting from Saibei, marching all the way day and night, the army led by Zhang Zheng finally climbed over many mountains and arrived at Qinglu Peak. Judging from the current footsteps, it will take another three days to reach the capital.
"When my army arrives in the capital, it's time to make trouble! Your Highness, we are finally going to fulfill our promise at the beginning. Even if Zhang Zheng is heartbroken, he will definitely help you sit in the ninth-fifth position!"
Zhang Zheng sat on the divine horse black unicorn, his eyes burst out with a bright light.
Standing on the top of this mountain, looking around, the whole mountain and river can be seen far and near, at this moment, Zhang Zheng felt proud.
Booming, with a wave of the long sword, tens of thousands of troops rushed down the mountain along the waves, all the way to the capital. However, when the army marched halfway, a sudden change occurred——
"Xi Yuyu!"
Without the slightest sign, suddenly, the ground collapsed, and the dozens of war horses rushing to the front neighed miserably, sinking rapidly.
Puff puff puff, blood burst out, dozens of war horses were immediately pierced by the underground spikes, and died, and behind, thousands of soldiers and horses were still rushing forward under the effect of huge inertia.
"No, there is a trap ahead!"
Everyone was shocked, and they reined in their horses and backed away, but it was too late. Amid Xi Yuyu's neighing, more horses fell into the pit, and at the same time, more ground collapsed, and the entire road was almost completely covered. truncate.
"How is this going?!"
Behind, Zhang Zheng saw this scene, and his face changed instantly.
...
As time goes by, on the other side, in the palace of a foreign prince.
"Report! My lord, I just received the news that there is indeed an operation in the East Palace. They are arresting our people all over the city in the name of hunting spies!"
In the main hall, the leader of a spy team knelt on one knee and said respectfully.
"What a quick response!"
Hearing these words, Wang Chong's eyes flickered for a moment. For this operation, he had already tried his best to mobilize the dismissed Xiang army in the local area, trying to create signs of troop mobilization to attract the opponent's attention.
But it seemed that the opponent was not fooled at all, and directly judged that his soldiers and horses had entered the capital. His keen sense of smell and accurate judgment were simply astonishing.
Since Wang Chong was reborn, this was the first time he had encountered such a formidable opponent. It has to be said that Hou Junji is indeed his strongest opponent at present. He is worthy of being a famous official in the Taizong era and the second God of War in the Tang Dynasty.
These thoughts flew through his mind, and Wang Chong quickly regained his composure. Pojun Zhanshen is indeed difficult to deal with, but he is by no means easy.
"How's our damage?"
"The other party's actions were very fast and extremely sudden, but fortunately, the prince had reminded him earlier that all the brothers had already gone underground. There is a lot of food there, and it is not a problem to last for seven or eight days."
The head of the intelligence team lowered his head and said respectfully. Having said that, he subconsciously glanced up, and a trace of deep admiration flashed in his eyes.
"A slight difference, a thousand miles of error", only the intelligence team understands how terrifying the prince's maneuvers and decisions have reached.
Although the one in the East Palace was strong, the prince always seemed to be able to anticipate the actions the other party was about to take, and made arrangements in advance to avoid the other party's attacks.
This behavior is not just an example, this kind of thing has happened several times before.
"Very good! Got it."
However, Wang Chong didn't know what the leader of the spy team was thinking. His eyes were calm, and his heart went up and down:
"You must not act rashly until you have further orders from me."
"Yes, my lord!"
The leader of the spy team quickly bowed his head and said:
"The subordinate will leave."
"Wait a moment!"
In the main hall, Wang Chong suddenly called to the leader of the spy team. With a flick of his finger, on the sandalwood table in front of him, a letter that had already been written and the ink was still wet was flicked:
"Take this letter down and act according to plan."
"Subordinates obey!"
The spy team leader responded, took the letter, and left quickly.
"Report!"
And just as the leader of the spy team left, another figure quickly entered the hall:
"Su Hanshan General Su has just sent a message that according to the prince's order, he has successfully stopped the Northern Court Guard Army at Qinglu Peak!!"
"Buzz!"
Hearing these words, Wang Chong's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his head abruptly. At that moment, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
...
In the East Palace, hawks and sparrows circled around, heavily guarded.
"What?!!"
In the hall, a thunderous voice suddenly sounded, full of shock and disbelief:
"Zhang Zheng's Beiting Protectorate Army encountered a sniper attack on Qinglu Peak? How is this possible!"
At that moment, looking at His Highness Jin Youshi, the First Prince's expression was livid, extremely ugly.
"Your Highness, this matter is absolutely true! This subordinate also just got the news."
Jin Youshi lowered his head and said, his whole body dripping with cold sweat.
In the hall, everyone was shocked, even the ghost king Hou Junji frowned. Although Zhang Zheng is not as good as Gao Xianzhi and Ge Shuhan, he is still a good fighter, and he is only a mile away from the general, not to mention that he has tens of thousands of elite guards of the Northern Court around him.
If you want to stop an army of tens of thousands, this is not something that one person can do!
"We have been monitoring the strength of the triangle gap, and the soldiers and horses above have not moved. Zhang Zheng has tens of thousands of troops, how could he be blocked suddenly?"
Meng Tu murmured, his face full of disbelief.
The news came from Zhang Zheng just a moment ago, and it was still a sign of urgency, which was definitely a great surprise and shock to everyone.
"Did Zhang Zheng say which army he encountered?"
At this moment, a voice broke the silence. Above the main hall, the ghost king who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke. His brows were furrowed, as if thoughtful.
In an instant, everyone in the hall fell silent, and all eyes turned to Jin Youshi.
"Zhang Zheng and the Beiting Protectorate Army did not encounter a large number of troops!"
The first sentence Jin Youshi uttered shocked everyone.
Haven't met the military? What does it mean?
