readx;? The earth-shattering shouts from the side of the Sword Pass alarmed the Xia army stationed outside the pass, and immediately shocked the soldiers of the Xia army. As a result www.biquge.info the general of the Xia army immediately sent scouts to sneak near the Sword Pass and secretly inquire about the news.

Soon, the people sent out by the Xia army returned to report the situation to Bai Qi, but what he said made Bai Qi and other Xia army generals panic.

"Isn't it that the army of the Xinghua Empire is about to arrive at Jianguan?" Among the generals of the Xia army, someone said a guess, worried that the Xinghua army was going to increase its troops. This speculation made the rest of the Xia army generals nervous.

As a result, these generals of the Xia army began to think of various ways to deal with it, and offered advice to Bai Qi: "No matter what, we must strengthen our defenses! Marshal, let's suspend the siege and act when the opportunity arises." ”

To be honest, Bai Qi's heart was also a little panicked. If the Xinghua reinforcements arrived, the pressure on their Xia army would inevitably increase greatly, and the situation might even be reversed soon.

Bai Qi was a little hesitant. Just as he was thinking hard about a good strategy, suddenly, a young general came to his side, analyzed the military situation to Bai Qi in a low voice, and said: "Marshal don't worry, in fact, this is a good time for our army to win." If the puppet emperor of Xinghua State arrives at Jianguan, won't it mean that he will be sent to the door in vain? It will just allow us to solve the problem at once! Therefore, as long as the puppet emperor of Xinghua State arrives with their army, we can concentrate the strength of the whole army and attack Jianguan with all our might! As long as we successfully capture Jianguan and kill the puppet emperor of Xinghua State, Xinghua Kingdom will inevitably be in chaos......

After quietly listening to the young general's strategy, Bai Qi's eyes lit up, his fists struck, as if the case was decided, and said, "Not bad! The army of our Xia State is arrayed in Huguan, which is nothing more than to have a real decisive battle with the Xinghua army, re-reverse the pattern of Yunzhou Jianguan, and expel the Xinghua army. Now, it is rare for the lord of the Xinghua Kingdom to personally lead his army to Jianguan, thinking that he is just a Xinghua country, how can he be worthy of being the enemy of our dignified Xia Kingdom? This is indeed a good opportunity that we have once in a lifetime, and as long as we grasp this good opportunity, the prospects will certainly be immeasurable. ”

Bai Qi's mind did make waves because of the young general's strategy. What he was thinking about was not only the prospect of the Xia army, not only how to win this war, but also his own prospects.

Since Xia Guo lost to Xinghua State on the territory of Yunzhou, Xinghua State has always been a thorn in Xia Guo's side. It is conceivable that if Bai Qi can capture the Sword Pass next and capture or kill the lord of Xinghua Kingdom, it will definitely be a prominent military feat that shocks the entire Xia Kingdom!

Thinking of these bright prospects, Bai Qi's heart swelled with waves.

"Order the Shenwu battalion, prepare the Shenwu cannon and the Shenwu cannon, as well as the construction battalion, take out all the remaining trebuchets and ballistas, and the warrior battalion, and kill the enemy lord at any time...... It's time to make a difference. ”

Bai Qi had a certain number in his heart, and immediately summoned all the generals, expressed to them the decision to prepare for the attack of the whole army, and issued a series of orders to transfer troops.

The generals of the Xia Army, when they heard Bai Qi's series of orders, were all agitated in their hearts, and everyone was gearing up, ready to do a big job!

According to Bai Qi's order, the generals of the Xia army immediately ordered their soldiers to arrange the army according to the order.

The efficiency of the Xia army's actions was extremely high, and in about half an hour, the weapons of the Shenwu Battalion, as well as the 50,000 army, were all in front of the Sword Pass, and they were all in a position, like an arrow ready to fly.

These 50,000 troops lined up in front of the Sword Pass, filling the open space in front of the Sword Pass.

The formation is so strong, it is naturally impossible to be silent, on the contrary, Xia Jun's voice is extremely loud. Naturally, the Xinghua Army, which was guarding the Sword Pass, quickly noticed this big movement.

Wei Changhai, the guard of the Sword Pass, was also taken aback on the spot after hearing this report from the sentry's mouth. I have to say that Xia Jun's reaction was sudden, which really caught them off guard.

It's just that Wei Changhai was even more surprised why Xia Jun suddenly made such a big move.

Of course, it was a situation of confrontation between the two armies, and it was a matter of time for one side to attack, but what made Wei Changhai a little suspicious was that the Xia army's actions seemed too sudden, the battle was too big, and the timing was a bit too coincidental.

Although it may be just his own sensitive speculation, Wei Changhai always involuntarily associated the sudden arrival of the Xia army under the city with the news that the Xinghua reinforcements they had just received.

"Could it be that the Xia army has gotten any news? Or is the Xia army going to carry out a general attack?" Wei Changhai kept questions in his mind, but his movements were not at all draggy, and he immediately ordered the defenders of the whole pass to be on emergency alert, first-level combat readiness, and meet the battle at any time.

A large number of Xinghua soldiers were in place, and the bullets were loaded.

"Sir, we cannot tolerate the enemy's stride-up build-up. A staff officer admonished Wei Changhai.

Wei Changhai nodded in response: "Mortar battalion, immediately aim at the enemy's military formation and shell the enemy." "Wei Changhai is not a static person, he didn't use mortars much before, for long-term defense, to save shells, and use them at critical moments. Now, it is obvious that the enemy army is going to attack on a large scale, and if it does not attack the enemy army, it may be difficult to rely on guns alone.

Bang bang bang......

Not long after, the mortars of the Xinghua army shelled the positions of the Xia army.

The fierce artillery fire suddenly made the Xia army dizzy.

However, there were generals in the Xia army, which suppressed the army and quickly returned fire with the large and small cannons of the Shenwu battalion.

The walls of the Sword Pass, every time they are attacked by the Shenwu cannon, they will drop rubble......

"Kill!"

In order to kill the emperor of Xinghua, Bai Qi used the elite of the Xia army. These 50,000 Xia troops are all fierce soldiers mixed in the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and they are used to seeing dead people. Therefore, the explosion of mortar shells was not enough to disturb their morale.

Bang bang bang......

Woohoo......

Sword Pass Defender soldiers, constantly shooting.

The archers of the Xia army were also fighting back.

All of a sudden, the battlefield was filled with bullets and bows and arrows.

It's just that the Xinghua army is on the defensive, with a favorable geographical cover, and the casualties are not as good as the Xia army.

The soldiers of the Xia Army were directly facing the bullets of the Xinghua Army.

Even if the soldiers of the Xinghua Army did not need to aim and fired at the Xia army's military formation, the bullets could kill and injure one or two Xia soldiers.

The battle quickly heats up......

Every ten minutes, Wei Changhai listened to a battle report, and every time he reported a battle, hundreds of soldiers were injured or even killed.

"If we continue like this, I'm afraid that in less than a day, we will lose half of our army. ”

"Send a report to Shucheng immediately and ask for support!"

Wei Changhai ordered the Jianguan telegraph station to ask for help from Shucheng.

Yi Xingchen was in Shucheng, Yunzhou, and ordered Qin Zhengguo to transfer a thousand soldiers in the Shucheng military camp, and then while waiting for the Huaguo artillery, he took out the operation manual of the multiple rocket launchers and asked a thousand soldiers to memorize them. These soldiers were to be trained as artillerymen, and they were soldiers that Yi Xingchen ordered Qin Zhengguo to draw from the Yunzhou Legion.

Not long after, Wei Quai, an officer of the Royal Guard, and Qin Chengjun, an officer of the Shucheng Intelligence Bureau, came to the city guard mansion to meet them.

Yi Xingchen was in the city guard mansion and personally met with them. Wei Quzhi is an officer in the army directly under the imperial family, and the Shucheng Intelligence Bureau is also a special department of the Yunzhou government, which is not under the jurisdiction of the Yunzhou government.

Yi Xingchen did not refuse to meet with Wei Quzhi and Qin Chengjun, on the contrary, he was eager to know about the situation in Shucheng. Through Wei Quzhi and Qin Chengjun, they must have an intuitive understanding of the current situation in Shucheng.

The two entered the lobby of the city guard mansion and paid homage to Yi Xingchen.

Wei Quzhi was an officer of the Royal Guard, and Yi Xingchen had naturally seen him. Qin Chengjun is the person in charge of Yunzhou's intelligence system, and he has made many military exploits, and Yi Xingchen also knows some things about him.

"Weichen Wei Quai, see Your Majesty!" Wei Quzhi knelt down on one knee and said.

"Weichen Qin Chengjun, see Your Majesty!" Qin Chengjun also knelt down on one knee and said.

Yi Xingchen smiled slightly, raised his hand to let Wei Qu get up, "Get up, sit down and talk, and tell me about your achievements." ”

"Your Majesty Xie!" Wei Quzhi sat down at the bottom of Yi Xingchen and continued: "Your Majesty, since the arrival of the Guards in Yunzhou, we have been dispatched several times to fight against the Black Dragon Society, and we have won many battles, and we have already wiped out the Black Tiger Hall, Vermilion Bird Hall, and Blue Wolf Hall of the Black Dragon Society. The only trouble is the Shadow Hall of the Black Dragon Society, hidden in the shadows, or hidden among the people of Yunzhou, and we haven't found their flaws for the time being......"

Yi Xingchen did not show the slightest impatience, but carefully inquired about some details of the investigation and arrest before asking Wei Quzhi what trouble they had.

"Your Majesty, we have captured more than a thousand members of the Black Dragon Society in Shucheng. With Wei Chen's idea, it is natural that all of them will be executed, and no one can be spared. However, I am also worried that if the killing is too large, it will affect the empire's rule in Yunzhou and lose the hearts and minds of the people in Yunzhou. Wei Quzhi said.

"These members of the Black Dragon Society are naturally some people who have their hearts set on the Xia Kingdom. Otherwise, they wouldn't have joined the Black Dragon Society. If there is a fear that the killings will be too widespread and affect the people's hearts, they should be convicted first, and then the executions will not be carried out in public. Before the execution, at the door of the police station, a list is pasted with a simple description of the convicted crime. In addition, make an announcement in the newspaper to give them a chance to meet their loved ones. Yi Xingchen paused and continued: "I believe that as long as we are reasonable with the facts, we are not afraid of being misunderstood by the people. After all, they had this ending, and it was all their own doing. ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Wei Quzhi said.

Yi Xingchen smiled and said, "You hand over the errand to the Shucheng Intelligence Bureau, the Shucheng Police Department, and the Shucheng City Guards." You are the Royal Guard, and since I am in Shucheng, you are responsible for my safety. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Wei Quzhi replied respectfully and stood aside.

"Qin Chengjun, can the Shucheng Intelligence Bureau take over the burden of clearing the Black Dragon Society?" Yi Xingchen asked Qin Chengjun.

Qin Chengjun replied: "Your Majesty, we are always ready!"

"Very good, the Shucheng Intelligence Bureau will get some new weapons, so as not to be unfavorable for arrest, this time there are light machine guns, assault rifles, grenades, and so on. The Shucheng Intelligence Bureau led the operation to smash the Black Dragon Society this time. These weapons are designed to give you a small assault team to deal with the hard guys. Small role, let the police station assist you. Yi Xingchen said.

"Your Majesty, we must know that the Black Dragon Society and the Baoyun Prefecture side are stable. Qin Chengjun said.

"Recently, has your intelligence bureau done any action?" Yi Xingchen asked.

"The Shucheng Intelligence Bureau has found out that one of the Shadow Hall's strongholds in Shucheng is a green building, but we haven't done it yet, just to know if the Shadow Hall has any other footholds. Qin Chengjun said.

"Let's do it! In the Hall of Shadows, the most important thing is obviously people. Those strongholds can be abandoned by the Hall of Shadows at any time. Don't wait for anyone to run. Yi Xingchen reminded.

Qin Chengjun replied without hesitation: "Yes, I will immediately return to the bureau and formulate a detailed arrest plan." ”

"Wei Quai, you sent a team of soldiers from the Guards to assist Qin Chengjun in the arrest operation. Yi Xingchen ordered Wei Qubing to send troops to assist Qin Chengjun. He was also worried that the sudden transfer back to Wei Quai's troops would lead to a mistake in the arrest operation.

Wei Qubing did not refuse, and ordered his subordinate officer, He Buping, to lead a hundred soldiers of the Guards to capture the Shadow Hall of the Black Dragon Society.

Yi Xingchen originally wanted to go out and take a look at the arrest scene.

However, Jianguan's urgent telegram suddenly made Yi Xingchen nervous.

Yi Xingchen immediately ordered Qin Zhengguo to cooperate and send reserve soldiers from Shucheng.

Qin Zhengguo knew that the war was urgent, so he ordered another 10,000 soldiers and sent them to Jianguan.

Yi Xingchen also wanted to go to Jianguan to watch the battle, but Qin Zhengguo, Zhao Chang, Wei Qubing and other officials strongly expressed their dissatisfaction and resolutely disagreed with Yi Xingchen's involvement in danger.

Because Jianguan is in danger of being attacked by the Xia army, and the Xia army has a strong attack power. For example, Shenwu cannons and Shenwu small cannons. Most of the Xinghua officials knew about the Xia Army's long-range weapons, and they were also very worried that their Majesty would come to the Sword Pass in person and there would be problems again.

In any case, Jianguan was at the time of war, and they didn't dare to let Yi Xingchen get into danger.

Wei Qubing did not refuse, and ordered his subordinate officer, He Buping, to lead a hundred soldiers of the Guards to capture the Shadow Hall of the Black Dragon Society.

In any case, Jianguan was in the midst of a fierce war, and Qin Zhengguo didn't dare to let Yi Xingchen get into danger. (To be continued.) )
