Chapter 65: Good Fortune Comes to an End

At this time, on the side of Hua County, Fan Chang had already made a move, and Fan Chang's department quietly entered Ba County in the dark night, bypassing the surrounding densely populated areas, and arrived near Hua County.

Of course, in order not to arouse the vigilance of Hua County in advance, the distance is not too close, and it can only be quietly moved forward when it is almost dawn.

I want to launch a surprise attack when Tianminghua County opens the city gate, and attack the city of Hua County in one fell swoop.

However, Hua County is a prosperous county with a population of tens of thousands of households, and Cheng Lao County usually pays attention to city defense, so the city wall is repaired very steadily.

And now that Shuzhong has just been more than a year old, not only have the people in the city not completely relaxed their vigilance, they found out that something was wrong at the first time and fled to the city.

Even Cheng Laoxian ordered this side to be very decisive, hurriedly closed the city gate, and ordered the soldiers and the strong men in the city to come to help defend the city.

Although there were not many guards in Hua County because of the transfer of some people to the palace outside the city, relying on the city wall still blocked Fan Chang and them outside the city after all.

Of course, Cheng Laoxian on the side of the palace did not forget the palace, and before closing the city gate, he specially sent the soldiers with the best foot strength to rush out and report to the palace.

It's just that what Cheng Lao County Commander didn't know was that Fan Chang had already been staring at the palace, and after not rushing into the city at the first time, he ordered a deputy general to lead 1,500 people to kill the palace.

After all, the change in the number of people under Li Hao's tun cavalry could not escape Fan Chang's eyeliner.

Although Fan Chang, an ordinary soldier in Hua County, couldn't look down on it, Fan Chang didn't dare to underestimate the 180 famous horsemen left there.

In order to prevent them from making trouble behind their backs when they attacked Hua County, they had to be dealt with first.

But in fact, there is no need for Cheng Lao County to report the news, and what happened in Hua County cannot be concealed from Ling Budo.

As early as when Fan Chang entered Ba County, Ling Budo had already known in advance, but it was only to ensure the success of the raid, so he did not trigger it.

I just thought of a little way to spread the idea of the bandits entering the army in advance, so that the Hua County side could prepare in advance.

And predicted in advance that after Fan Chang encountered obstacles in Hua County, he would definitely send soldiers and horses to the palace to solve the trouble.

So by the way, taking advantage of the chaos of the army, the people and horses hidden around Hua County were moved to the vicinity of the palace in batches, preparing to cut off Fan Chang first.

And Fan Chang's side didn't know anything about Ling Budo's plan, let alone that there were not a few hundred people in the palace, but more than 3,000 people.

Of course, the soldiers of Hua County guarding the palace were also frightened when they looked at so many people.

Because the original news about Ling Budo and these people was hidden from them, only Tunqi knew the inside story.

After these people arrived, except for a part of the men and horses hiding in the palace, the rest also divided a small half of the men and horses to hide in the mountains outside the palace, and then it was good to carry out a flanking attack inside and outside.

Anyway, Ling Budo concluded that Fan Chang didn't know that he had entered Shu, nor did he know about the additional soldiers and horses, and in the situation of occupying an absolute advantage, this soldier and horse would definitely not carefully investigate the situation all the way over, nor was he worried that the people buried outside would be discovered.

After everything was arranged, anyway, it was still the same people on the bright side, waiting for the soldiers and horses on Fan Chang's side to throw themselves into the net.

Speaking of which, Fan Chang really didn't let Ling Budo wait for long, first the person sent by Cheng Lao County Order to inform the news arrived in advance from the road, but the news he said was all that Ling Budo knew.

After arranging him, the rebels sent by Fan Chang were not far from the palace, and Ling Budo ordered to prepare for battle.

The march of the rebels was indeed just as Ling Budo thought, and they didn't pay special attention to the situation along the road all the way, so they broke directly in front of the palace gate.

Then he didn't even take a break, and directly ordered someone to cut down a few big trees as a crash wood, and began to attack the palace, intending to break the palace in one go.

Seeing this, Ling Budo was naturally in the middle of the situation, after all, the rebels were so big, so it was no wonder that he directly harvested them.

Immediately, Ling Budo issued an order, ordering the soldiers and horses who were ambushed in the mountains and forests outside the palace, Xun

Hurry back and attack the rebels from behind.

Inside the palace, Ling Budo resisted slightly, and after making sure that the soldiers and horses outside the palace were approaching, he let go of the gate of the palace and ordered the rebels to enter.

Soon after, the rebels were dumbfounded, because there were far more people in the palace than they had imagined.

At once, the invading rebels were pushed back, forcing them to keep retreating, but rushing forward is not the same as retreating.

Because of the limited width of the gate of the palace, and the fact that there are rebels outside the palace who do not know the situation inside, such an impact inside and outside will cause chaos among the rebel ranks.

Originally, if they were given a little time, the rebels would be able to stabilize the situation again, but how could Ling Budo give them such a chance.

The men and horses outside the palace had already arrived at this time, and they rushed directly towards the rebels, and since then the rebels outside the palace have also been completely confused.

Since then, the inside and outside of the palace have been artificially divided into two parts, and the rebels have been suppressed towards the gate at the same time.

Although Vice General Fan Chang kept shouting loudly, and even directly slashed and killed those chaotic soldiers, wanting to reorganize the formation.

But it really had little effect, but was targeted by Ling Budo, and he was directly killed with an arrow, and ordered people to shout the slogan that the main general is dead, and those who descend will not be killed.

When the rebels heard this, their morale was lost, and a small number of rebels outside the palace gathered together, took advantage of the chaos to tear a hole, and fled from here.

And there are more left, especially the rebels who are blocked in the palace, there is no escape, and they surrender directly.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

The good news is that Hua County has not been broken by the rebels, and the bad news is that the rebels are arresting the old and weak women and children in the countryside outside Hua County, and they are going to take them to Hua County.

Hearing this news, Li Hao frowned, Li Hao could naturally think of what the rebels were going to do to capture them.

Not only Li Hao, but also those people from the Black Armor Guard and the Yue Cavalry Captain Department can also think of it.

After all, throughout the dynasties, it has always been uncommon to drive people to attack the city, and in the original plot, Fan Chang did bring these old and weak women and children to the city gate, and threatened Lao Cheng County to open the city gate, otherwise he would be killed.

And Cheng Laoxian Commander also couldn't ignore the people, so he led the soldiers in Huaxian County to fight to the death to give these people a chance to escape, and died because of it.

Li Hao naturally couldn't sit back and watch such a situation happen, even if he gave the order, he would speed up and go to Hua County as soon as possible.

It's just that Li Hao is still twenty or thirty miles away from Hua County, and it is estimated that it will take more than half an hour in the past, and I don't know if it will be too late.

Li Hao regretted that he didn't get a carrier pigeon from the palace, otherwise he could inform Ling Budo of this matter as soon as possible, if he set off from the palace, it would be much faster to contain Fan Chang.

Now I can only hope that Ling Budo can get the news by himself and come forward to prevent this from happening.

In fact, Ling Budo did not live up to Li Hao's expectations, and even knew it earlier than Li Hao.

Immediately, Ling Budo changed his strategy, originally he wanted to continue to hide in the shadows, find an opportunity to find Fan Chang's mistakes and omissions, and then defeat Fan Chang in one fell swoop.

In this way, not only can this rebellion be ended as soon as possible, but also have a better chance of directly capturing Fan Chang alive.

But now after seeing Fan Chang's actions of arresting innocent people everywhere, Ling Budo could only take the initiative to jump out, except for some guards and soldiers who surrendered troops, and led all the other soldiers and horses out of the palace and approached directly towards Hua County.

After Fan Chang learned the news, especially when he knew that this soldier and horse was playing the banner of Ling Budo, he immediately knew that something was wrong.

First of all, he was sure that the men and horses he sent out to attack the palace should be completely annihilated, and since Ling Budo had to arrive quietly with so many people.

I'm afraid that his rebellion has already been found out by Emperor Wen, and the soldiers and horses who want to come to support in the future should already be on the way.

Looking at Jiancheng in Hua County, Fan Chang knew that he probably didn't have that time, so he had a retreat in his heart and wanted to go back to Qianwei County.

It's just that before leaving, Fan Chang planned to defeat Ling Budo first, and even if he could catch Ling Budo, it would be better.

After all, Ling Budo's status in Emperor Wen's heart, Fan Chang is very clear, if he can catch Ling Budo, then Emperor Wen will throw a mouse trap, and he will have greater convenience between moving.

Especially when Fan Chang learned that most of the men and horses led by Ling Budo were not wearing armor, this made Fan Chang even more relieved.

After all, Fan Chang didn't know the power of paper armor, so he naturally defaulted to only the tun cavalry and a group of people who changed into the armor of the captured rebels, and they were wearing armor.

After Fan Chang left a small number of men and horses to monitor Hua County, he led the team to meet Ling Budo.

Eventually, on a plain a few miles away from Hua County, the two armies formed a confrontation.

Speaking of which, at this point, the rebels under Fan Chang's command were actually not much more than Ling Budo's subordinates, after all, they had lost more than 1,500 people who attacked the palace.

Now there are more than 4,000 people left under Fan Chang's command, and Ling Budo's side, the losses in the first battle in the palace are not large, and there are almost nearly 3,000 people.

But on the one hand, it was the old training, and on the other hand, the horse was put on Nanshan, and it had just been assembled, and there was a certain gap in the combat power of this person, so Ling Budo had no certainty of victory in his heart.

If he were replaced by his Black Armor Guard and Yue Cai Captain's Department, even if the number of people was smaller, he would have absolute confidence in winning the battle.

But when it came to the end, Ling Budo was by no means a hesitant person, after seeing that Fan Chang ordered his soldiers and horses to start attacking.

Ling Budo bore the brunt of the attack, and the first soldier had to start charging with his cavalry, and the follow-up soldiers and horses saw that Ling Budo, the main general, had all rushed, and naturally their morale was greatly boosted, and they also killed the rebels together.

It is said that Ling Budo's personal fighting ability is indeed extraordinary, and in this regard, it is estimated that even if Li Hao, who has accumulated two lifetimes, he may not be comparable.

After all, Li Hao has never been the one who takes the lead and captures the flag, Li Hao is better at leading troops to fight.

I saw Ling Budo leading the Tun cavalry back and forth among the enemy troops, and the rebels had to break through in formation again and again, and Fan Chang also led people to rush up when he saw this, wanting to take Ling Budo in one fell swoop.

But Fan Chang still underestimated Ling Budo after all, and after some fighting, Fan Chang was finally defeated by Ling Budo's Red Phoenix Qingtian gilded halberd.

It was only because Fan Chang's personal guards rescued well that Ling Budo did not let Fan Chang take down, otherwise the victory or defeat of this battle would have been decided earlier.

However, seeing this scene also greatly boosted the morale of the people led by Ling Budo, and their combat effectiveness rose a few points out of thin air.

It's just that this hard power is still a little worse after all, and after Fan Chang broke away from Ling Budo's side, he hid in the shadows to command, so after a long time, Ling Budo was still at a disadvantage here, and suppressed the rebels step by step.

Just when Fan Chang thought that if he fought step by step like this, Ling Budo would be defeated and fall into his hands sooner or later.

Suddenly, there was a deafening sound of horses' hooves from a distance, and Fan Chang's face changed drastically when he heard this, because he knew that there were no reinforcements coming, and it must be Ling Budo's reinforcements who came over.

And with this sound, it must be a large group of cavalry, in this plain, this is not something that Fan Chang can fight against.

Fan Chang immediately had a plan to escape, so after taking the lead in charging once, Fan Chang fled with a few guards.

Anyway, in the face of the cavalry, those foot soldiers under him may not be able to escape, so just leave it alone, and by the way, let them stop the pursuers.

But Fan Chang could still count on his subordinates to fight hard, and after Li Hao led his troops to arrive, these rebels completely collapsed in just one round of charge.

Seeing this situation, Ling Budo said hello to Li Hao and asked Li Hao to collect the surrendered troops, while he took someone to chase Fan Chang.

After all, in his heart, Fan Chang is related to the lonely city, which is much more important than other things.

In this regard, Li Hao didn't say anything, so he asked Ling Budo to get busy first.

However, when Li Hao was cleaning up the mess, the soldiers sent by Qing County in the distance arrived, just in time for the finishing work.

Looking at the Cheng Cheng that came with it, Li Hao really felt a little worried, did this guy mean to take credit, or was he really lucky, he came so timely.
