Chapter 660 King Hecheng in Desperation
Prince Hecheng personally led an army of 50,000 out of the city, and chased directly towards the place where the Eighth Prince and Yun Xiaoshuang escaped. Ten thousand horses galloped, and the scene was once very spectacular.
However, he was also very smart and did not let the commanders of Mingyang County move, because he was also afraid that this was Yun Xiaoshuang's plan, so he would be miserable if he fell into the trap and lost Mingyang County.
He now believes that as long as Mingyang County is not lost, it doesn’t matter, Xiyang County cannot be lost.
At the same time, he had chased him to the middle of Xiyang County and Mingyang County. This place is called Linkou, which is a depression. Due to the humid weather, there is a lot of water in the depression.
However, for war horses, there is no problem with these accumulated water, and it is easy to wade through them. However, if there is a tripping rope hidden in the accumulated water, it is difficult to find it.
Several war horses in front suddenly neighed and fell to the ground one after another. King Cheng was startled and waved his hand to stop moving forward. Then, after seeing clearly, he knew that he had been fooled.
"King Hecheng, I've been waiting for a long time, and you really haven't disappointed me."
At this time, a tall figure rushed out from the side on a war horse, followed by tens of thousands of troops, holding a bright silver spear in his hand, looking at him with a smile.
The person who came was Zhao Mocheng. Yun Xiaoshuang's plan was to attack Mingyang County by the Eighth Prince, and then Zhao Mocheng secretly lurked here with the main army.
She guessed that King Hecheng knew that they would definitely chase after retreating, so this was the only way for King Hecheng to go through and would definitely be able to ambush.
There is a small road from Mingyang County to Xiyang County, which few people know, and even King Cheng doesn’t know, maybe only King Chenliu knows it.
At first, Yun Xiaoshuang didn't know, but on the way, she met a hunter born in Yuzhou, and the people ran away, thinking that it was him but didn't run away.
Anyway, he lived in the mountains and hunted for a living, and the war could not affect him. Moreover, he believed that the power of the court would definitely take back Yuzhou, so he did not leave.
Yun Xiaoshuang knew from him that this path was a small path, but it was very spacious, and the marching of tens of thousands of people was not crowded at all.
However, the entrance and exit of the path were blocked, so few people knew about it and hid it.
After knowing this path, Yun Xiaoshuang thought of this plan, asking the Eighth Prince to lead his troops to attack Mingyang County, and asked Zhao Mocheng to lead his army to ambush from the path to Linkou.
And this time, when King Hecheng really waited for King Hecheng, the defenders of Mingyang County were completely deceived by the eighth prince's acting skills, and King Hecheng also gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao Mocheng.
"Zhao Mocheng, don't be proud. You won this time, but giving me a chance will definitely make you look good and retreat."
King Cheng knew that this was not the time for a great war, and he had to preserve his vitality, otherwise there would be only a dead end.
But even so, he was not at a disadvantage. After getting tired of it, he turned around and led the army toward Xiyang County. As long as he fled back to Xiyang County, everything would be fine.
However, when Zhao Mocheng saw him running away, he did not chase after him. Instead, he led the army to chase him slowly, as if he was not in a hurry at all.
Seeing Zhao Mocheng's actions, King He Cheng was overjoyed. As long as he was asked to return to Xiyang County, everything would be fine.
But he had just arrived at the city of Xiyang County and shouted, "I am King Hecheng, please open the city gate."
However, after shouting a few times, there was no reaction from the above. He was so angry that he left thousands of defenders to guard the house before, but he actually neglected his duties.
However, at this time, a general wearing silver armor stood on the city wall, and his lips raised slightly, "Mr. Zhang Chi, I have seen King Hecheng. The Eighth Prince has told me that King Hecheng is not allowed to enter the city. I hope the prince will not make things difficult for the general."
That's right, the person standing on the city wall was Zhang Chi. After breaking through at night, Zhang Chi led his troops to chase the enemy. After returning, Yun Xiaoshuang arranged a task for him.
After setting off in Zhao Mocheng, he also asked him to set off with an army of 20,000, and bypass Linkou from a small path and hide around Xiyang County.
After King Hecheng led his army out of the city, he directly attacked the city and took down Xiyang County.
Because Yun Xiaoshuang believed that if King Hecheng went out of the city to chase him, he would definitely be chasing him with his main force. There would definitely be not many defenders in Xiyang County, and 20,000 people were enough.
The real situation is similar to what she analyzed. Zhang Chi's 20,000 army appeared, just like a divine weapon descending from the sky, directly scaring the defenders of Xiyang County and directly opening the city to surrender.
At this time, He Cheng was so angry that he was itchy. At this time, he really lost, completely.
Before he fought, he thought that Zhao Mocheng and the Eighth Prince had nothing but a false reputation, but Er'er, King Chenliu lost to them was simply a waste.
However, after fighting, I realized that these two people had endless tricks and were very difficult to deal with. In just a few days, they forced him to such a field.
"King Hecheng, stop struggling, you can't escape, you are already surrounded."
At this time, the Eighth Prince took Yun Xiaoshuang out of the flank and snorted coldly.
For the Eighth Prince, since he and King Cheng chose to rebel, he was no longer his brother, so there was no need to be polite.
"Brother, I still underestimate you. You are hiding deeply enough. You usually do nothing in your clothes, but now you are hit hard."
"But you showed your ability. Do you think the prince will let you go? Why don't we fight back against the capital together? Then you become the emperor and I will assist you."
King Hecheng's eyes rolled at this time and directly instigated the Eighth Prince to rebel.
And he used the title of the prince to threaten the Eighth Prince. After all, the Eighth Prince showed his ability at this time. With the prince's ruthless means, how could he let the Eighth Prince who was also in the capital?
However, the Eighth Prince does not accept his trick at all. If we talk about who is the most loyal among the emperor's dozen princes, it is the Eighth Prince. Yun Xiaoshuang knows the most about this.
"Hmph, do you think I am a traitor, you? You openly rebel and collude with the Qiang tribe to enter the Tianshuo Kingdom. Each one is a death sentence."
"You should think about how to beg for mercy from your father."
The Eighth Prince snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain for King Hecheng. Such a traitor was the most difficult for him to accept. How could he be with such a person?
Seeing that it was not reasonable, King He Cheng also took his time and rushed up with the people, wanting to catch the Eighth Prince and wait for an opportunity to escape.
However, how could the Eighth Prince give him this opportunity? He directly let the army behind him rush up. At this time, Zhao Mocheng also arrived. The two armies formed a unit and began to rush to King Hecheng's troops.
Seeing that he could no longer catch the Eighth Prince, King He Cheng turned his eyes and fought bravely to fight the enemy, hoping to find an opportunity to run away.
"Eighth Prince, be careful not to let him run away. This guy is sinister and cunning. Now that the army is so chaotic, he is likely to run away in the chaos."
"If he runs back to Jiangzhou, we will have to work harder, so we must not let him run away."
Yun Xiaoshuang rode on the shadow chase, and then said seriously, "It is the easiest thing to escape among such a chaotic army, and that was the case with King Chenliu at the beginning.
If she hadn't been lucky enough to let King Chen Liu run away, there would be endless troubles, so she would definitely not give him a chance this time.
The Eighth Prince nodded quickly and searched for King Hecheng's figure among the chaos, but could not find it.
He was stunned for a moment and rushed into the crowd with his weapon, but he never found it.
At this time, King He Cheng had abandoned his horse and fled. He took advantage of the chaos of the army and everyone rushed to the nearby woods.
Then he abandoned his horse and ran away, even pulled off a piece of fabric and placed it on his face, covering his face, and leaving the place along the woods.
"Oh no, he really ran away. Why did I forget this? I quickly sent someone to find it."
At this time, King Cheng took advantage of the chaos to run away, and his 50,000 army was also without a leader and surrendered directly.
For these ordinary soldiers, it doesn't matter who they are loyal to, as long as they have food to eat, so they can easily surrender.
When these soldiers surrendered, the Eighth Prince did not do anything to them, but comforted them. After all, these were all soldiers from Tianshuo Kingdom, so they still had to comfort them with kind words.
"It should have been taking advantage of the chaos to run away from the jungle. The army was so chaotic just now. If we abandoned our horses, it would be difficult for us to discover."
Yun Xiaoshuang pointed to the jungle next to her, and Zhao Mocheng nodded quickly and personally led an army of 30,000 into the jungle for a carpet-style search.
At this time, Yun Xiaoshuang's mouth raised slightly, and her eyes were filled with a look of pride.
However, he would never find King Hecheng. After staying here for so long, he had already understood the terrain here and had planned the escape route here.
It is the least likely to be caught where you run, and you have designed the nearest distance from Yuzhou. This is his advantage. He plans to be the worst no matter where he is.
So as long as he runs according to the route, he will never be caught by the searchers. After all, this route has been carefully designed.
She went down the mountain road, and the sound of people brought by Zhao Mocheng searching for the jungle came from behind. He didn't care at all, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Song Zhehao, Zhao Mocheng, I have recorded the account today. Sooner or later, I will ask you to pay it back twice as much and kneel at my feet and beg for mercy."
King He Cheng snorted coldly, feeling very angry, but there was no way.
He really lost this time, and he lost so much that he almost had nothing.
But his family is in Jiangzhou. As long as he returns to Jiangzhou, everything is easy to say. Jiangzhou has money, food and people, and he is close to the Qiang people. If he develops for a while, the counterattack of the capital is just around the corner.
He ran down the jungle and walked out of a cave. The cave was very long and it took him nearly an hour to walk out.
