Chapter 464: Raid Leads to Ambush

Yishan, the border of Huaizhou.

In the long mountains, a troop of soldiers was marching in the forest. Their horses were carrying armor and weapons. Most of the soldiers were walking bare-chested, and it was very hot.

Li Mingfan, the general in the middle of the team, was the general appointed by the King of Huai to launch a surprise attack from Yishan.

That's right, after confirming that Chen Mo really led his troops to fight against the Jinxia army, the King of Huai couldn't wait to take back Huaizhou without waiting for Chu Ce and his men to lead them back.

Because of the loss of Huaizhou and the departure of the Xiao family, most of the people following the King of Huai were reduced. Chu Ce and Diwu Fusheng were still in Longyou and had not returned. Now the only people who could be used by the King of Huai were the people of the Li, Xiao, and Gan families.

And Li Mingfan was Madam Hui's uncle, a fourth-grade warrior, and the strongest warrior of the Li family.

To take back Huaizhou from Fengzhou, it was necessary to capture the city on the border of Huaizhou-Yixian.

And passing through Yishan, you can go around to the back of Yixian.

After Huaizhou was captured, the King of Huai had carefully studied the main reasons for the fall of Huaizhou.

It was Chen Mo who went around to the rear of Huainan County through the mountain road, and then used the main force to put pressure on the front gate of Huainan County, which led Zhao Liang to bring reinforcements, and then ambushed the reinforcements, and then used the reinforcements to trick the back gate of Huainan County.

Finally, under the pincer attack from both sides, the heavily defended Huainan County was captured.

Well, the King of Huai planned to give the enemy a taste of his own medicine.

"Brother, do you think this method of the prince will work? If it is discovered by the Chen army, you and I can..." Deputy General Li Mingzhong is Li Mingfan's cousin, a fifth-rank warrior, and he has never led an army in the true sense. He knows that although his cousin has led an army before, he has not fought against any strong army head-on, so he feels a little insecure.

"So what if he found out? Huaizhou is short of troops now, and I heard that Chen Mo is the only top three warrior in Chen's army. Now Chen Mo has gone to the north, and the most Huaizhou garrison is a fourth-grade warrior, who must be stationed in Wuguan or Huainan. It's good enough for this small Yi County to have a middle-grade warrior."

The mountain road is difficult to walk, Li Mingfan stopped to drink a sip of water, and said: "Besides, the Yishan mountain road is rugged and ravines are crisscrossed, which is not suitable for marching. Chen's army certainly didn't expect us to raid here."

Li Mingfan put away the water bag, patted Li Mingzhong on the shoulder, and said: "As long as we can take Yi County, the position of the prince will definitely belong to the prince."

"I hope so." Li Mingzhong always had a bad premonition.

Just as they continued to move forward, there was a sudden noise in front, and soon there was a loud sound of killing.

After a commotion broke out in the front of the Huai Army, they actually wanted to retreat. The supervisors held their ground and turned back to kill one by one, which stopped the rout.

"What happened?" Li Mingfan asked loudly. At this time, a personal soldier came over and shouted: "General, there is an ambush ahead. We have been fooled."

"What?"

Before Li Mingfan opened his mouth, Li Mingzhong was confused and his face changed.

It is the most ridiculous thing for a surprise attacking army to be ambushed.

Li Mingfan glared at Li Mingzhong and said fiercely: "What are you afraid of? Draw your sword and kill them all."

"General Huihui, they are too strong. We are no match for them."

"Waste." Li Mingfan cursed and drew his sword to fight the enemy himself.

Half an hour later.

"General Li, we meet again." Liu Ji came to the captured Li Mingfan with a smile on his face that he had not seen for a long time.

Li Mingfan knelt on the ground, his hands tied behind his back. The rope tied was a special rope brought by Wu Yanqing from Jiangdong, which could bind the innate spiritual energy. He spit at Liu Ji's feet: "It turns out that you are a coward who is afraid of death."

"I am abandoning the dark and joining the light. The King of Huai is not my wise master." Liu Ji still said with a smile.

"It seems that you understand the King of Huai's mind very well. They actually raided from Yishan." Wu Yanqing said at this time.

This ambush was Wu Yanqing's listening to Liu Ji's advice and taking people to wait for the rabbit in Yishan in advance. Unexpectedly, he really waited.

Liu Ji has been with the King of Huai for so many years. As a staff member, in order to be reused, he naturally thought about the King of Huai's mind so that he could get the favor of the King of Huai at any time.

Hearing that this was Liu Ji's suggestion, Li Mingfan couldn't help spitting again.

"Tell me, what exactly does the King of Huai want to do by sending you here?" Liu Ji asked Li Mingfan with a smile.

Li Mingfan sneered, but his bones were tough: "You can kill me or chop me up as you like, but don't even think about asking a single word from me."

Liu Ji frowned slightly: "General Li, you are making it very difficult for me to deal with you."

Li Mingfan turned his head away and ignored Liu Ji.

Liu Ji said to Wu Yanqing: "Old Patriarch Wu, I am not good at judging people."

Wu Yanqing nodded and immediately called someone over.

When Li Mingfan heard Liu Ji's words, he looked at the old man who had captured him personally and said in surprise: "Old Patriarch Wu, are you Wu Yanqing?"

"It's not good for you, a junior, to call me by my name like this."

As soon as Wu Yanqing finished speaking, he saw the person he called slap Li Mingfan in the face.

The rope on Li Mingfan's body immediately expanded outward, and a powerful force was forcibly pressed back when it was about to burst out.

Li Mingfan spat out a mouthful of blood, half of his face was swollen: "I didn't expect that Chen Mo would actually invite you to Huaizhou to take charge."

"I didn't expect that the King of Huai would actually come to attack Huaizhou at this time."

"Huaizhou originally belonged to the prince, but Chen Mo shamelessly occupied it. Now that there is a chance, the prince will naturally take it back." Li Mingfan said.

Wu Yanqing obviously didn't want to discuss this with him, and said, "Let's try it."

The people called by Wu Yanqing immediately tortured Li Mingfan.

Soon, a scream of exhaustion rang out.

A quarter of an hour later, before Li Mingfan opened his mouth, Li Mingzhong, who was kneeling beside him, was so scared that he trembled and said, "Don't hit me, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

...

The scorching sun was high.

It was past noon.

On the Guanshan Plain.

Chen's army was cleaning the battlefield.

In the burning Jinxia camp, Sun Meng stepped forward and said, "My Lord, a total of 3,000 enemy soldiers were captured. What should we do with these prisoners?"

"Fighting on the front line, I don't have time to subdue them. Kill them all." Chen Mo was silent for only a breath, and then spoke.

"Yes." Sun Meng responded.

After Sun Meng left, Xia Zhining came forward and asked with concern: "Are you... okay?"

Chen Mo shook his head, and then said with a little disappointment: "It's a pity that we didn't leave them behind."

Jin Xia has many cavalry, and they are light cavalry, while the Cavalry Guards are armored cavalry, so they can't catch up at all.

Not to mention the infantry such as Shenyong, Shenwu, and Xianzhen.

Of course, if it was just Chen Mo alone, he could still catch up.

But no matter how strong he is, he can't fight tens of thousands of people alone.
