Chapter 1037: Intercept and kill King Zhao
At the same time, Sheng Ze was galloping with Ling Yun on horseback.
Previously, he went to the Chenzhou Mansion to take over purely to stabilize the morale of the army, but now that Zheng Shicheng has taken over, he can do what he should have done.
In the cold wind, the two were not afraid of the wind and cold, and rushed to the place where King Zhao was about to arrive overnight.
Unlike Liang Cheng's side, which was still uncertain, Sheng Ze had already received the direction and approximate route of King Zhao's escape.
Before that, he arranged for the people of the Shadow Guard Division to follow King Zhao, and even Xuyang had already taken over the matter, and the latest news came to Sheng Ze two hours ago, Xuyang had already led people to Bailipo to prepare to besiege King Zhao.
And King Zhao will arrive at Bailipo in half an hour, intending to enter Yunshan from Bailipo, pass through Yunshan and then detour back to Jinzhou from Linzhou.
It's a pity that Bailipo didn't ambush before, and it is likely that Xuyang will not be able to keep people in a hurry, which is why Sheng Ze wants to go in person.
If King Zhao is released this time, it will be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain. Moreover, if King Zhao is taken down this time, the six northwestern states will be able to return directly to Sheng Ze, no matter how you look at him, he will have to work harder.
In a hurry, Sheng Ze finally arrived before King Zhao arrived at Bailipo.
"What, where is King Zhao at this time?" Sheng Ze grabbed the reins of the horse, looked at Xuyang and asked.
Xuyang stepped forward and replied, "Back to the master, King Zhao is ten miles away from here. ”
Ten miles, that means that King Zhao will be able to arrive soon.
"You're all ready?" Sheng Ze glanced at the Shadow Guard Division.
Xuyang raised his voice and said, "It's ready!" ”
"Well, King Zhao's cavalry has been famous for a long time, you don't have to be afraid of battle, come according to your usual training." Sheng Ze admonished.
Xuyang's eyes were shining, and there was a bit of excitement in his eyes, "My subordinates understand!" ”
He also wanted to see if the formation that the master had asked them to practice and that was said to be able to restrain the cavalry was useful.
Sheng Ze bowed his head and sat on his horse and looked ahead.
After a day one. At night, King Zhao had already gathered three thousand remnants, if it was three thousand infantry, naturally there was nothing to be afraid of, but these three thousand were all cavalry, and they were all the elite of King Zhao's army, which was a bit troublesome.
The Shadow Guard Division does not belong to the Northern Hubei Army, and only a few people are equipped with gunpowder weapons...... Sheng Ze didn't dare to think about the consequences.
"Have you notified us of any reinforcements?" In order to protect the Shadow Guard, Sheng Ze had already instructed Xuyang to ask Liang Cheng for help.
Liang Cheng was guarding the Poplar Pavilion sixty miles away at this time.
It stands to reason that King Zhao should go back to Jinzhou directly by Baiyang Pavilion, but he chose to take a detour from Bailipo because he was suspicious.
"A call for help has been sent to the general." Xuyang replied.
Sheng Ze nodded, as long as Liang Cheng could come, King Zhao would definitely not be able to leave. It's just that before that, the five hundred people of the Shadow Guard Division had to hold King Zhao for at least half an hour.
This is a bloody battle, a bloody battle in which I don't know how many brothers of the Shadow Guard will be sacrificed.
Sheng Ze didn't dare to take it lightly, and immediately raised his voice: "Array!" ”
The military discipline of the Shadow Guard Division is stricter than that of the Northern Hubei Army, and they are only loyal to Sheng Ze, and when they heard the order at this time, they almost subconsciously immediately stood in their own positions.
Seeing the formation of the Shadow Guard Division according to his request, Sheng Ze finally felt a little comforted.
This array was studied by him from ancient books, and this is the first time he has used it, hoping that it will be as effective as the exercise.
"Your Highness, King Zhao is here!"
The spies of the Shadow Guard Division rushed to report, and Sheng Ze and the others immediately looked in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came from......
