Thinking of the number of Huainan troops as many as 90,000 in the intelligence, and there are more Nanchen troops in the west of Henan, the faces of the battle-hardened Hebei soldiers can't help but be clouded.

Someone objected: "It is rumored that the Huainan army is very brave, but just now this hundred light cavalry encountered us, but they were annihilated by us at once." These people are not strong in combat, it seems that they are not the Huainan Army. ”

"This group of Huainan soldiers is really different. Their leather armor is so hard that they can't even be stabbed by a spear in close quarters! In the end, we had to rely on a large number of people, five or six to surround one, and cut them down with a saber! ”

Listening to his subordinates' comments, Chen Kefu groaned. He also didn't understand why the light cavalry of the Huainan Army appeared here? If it's a few scouts, it's normal, but all of a sudden, it's not normal. The wounded soldiers were interrogated just now, but they could not say anything. The only cavalry team that knew about the mission was already dead.

"Maybe Du Fuwei knows the truth about our soldiers and horses, maybe he has other plans, or maybe he and Li Mi are also in contact."

Chen Kefu suddenly laughed: "Maybe, they also plan to sneak into the battlefield to fish in troubled waters!" ”

There was a burst of laughter on the field, and the cavalrymen buried the bodies of their comrades, turned over and continued to get on their horses and hurry, but these sudden Huainan cavalry still made Chen Kefu feel uneasy.

What he didn't know was that on this dark night, on the plain less than a few miles away from him, a beautiful woman was asking another young man: "Kan Ling, did we encounter the Eastern Capital Army just now?" ”

"Back to Du Ji, they don't look like the Eastern Capital Army. They were all cavalry, and they were well armed, and according to those we fled back, the other side seemed to be Hebei cavalry. ”

"Chen Pojun's Hebei cavalry?" Du Ji Shan Yunying, the wife of Du Fuwei, the commander of the Huainan Army, straddled the horse, stared at the dark night, and asked suspiciously, "Shouldn't Chen Pojun be in Luoyang at this time?" This should already be within the scope of the Emperor's Wuyi Eastern Capital Army? ”

"Madam, ahead is the camp of the Eastern Capital Army of Yanshi, and Huangfu Wuyi is there. We were so tired from the trek. Is it possible to rest overnight through the clouds and then go on the road again in the morning? ”

Dressed in armor, Du Ji looked back at the team in the dark night, and was about to agree, but her instinct flashed, and the crisis she had just encountered made her feel alarmed. She calmly said, "No." Don't stop, and don't go to the Emperor's camp. We went straight to the Wei camp in Luokou Cangcheng, without stopping on the way. ”

Looking back at the south, I remembered the high hopes that her husband had placed on her this time. Shan Yunying couldn't help but feel a heaviness, after Li Mi reached an alliance with the Jianghuai Army, she immediately sent someone to contact her husband. The husband has always missed this for the defeat of Yingchuan City, and after listening to Li Mi's plan this time, he also feels that it is very feasible. Therefore, he was eager to go north, but Lu Shishen's 20,000 people were stuck in Yingchuan City, blocking his way north.

As a last resort, Du Fuwei led 80,000 people to storm Yingchuan City, and then asked his wife and his son Kan Ling to lead 10,000 Huainan troops to ride lightly in the dark night to quietly take advantage of the war to go north. Du Fuwei's idea was also very simple, let his wife go north and send troops to cooperate with Li Mi's offensive. By the way, he asked his wife to contact her uncle Shan Xiongxin and ask him to come forward to help the Huainan army defeat Lu Shishen. A few days ago, news came from the hometown of the Huainan Army one after another. Chen Pojun took advantage of the fact that when they were heading north, he had already sent troops to capture all the counties in Huainan.

The 90,000 soldiers of the Huainan Army have been left homeless. The hometown was captured, and Lu Shishen was guarding it in front. However, Nan Chen's army all ran to Jingxiang, and Du Fuwei understood that if he didn't find a way to leave Yingchuan, then they might never be able to leave there again. Once the Hebei army that captured Huainan came up along the Yingshui, they would be unable to fly. …,

Just half an hour after Cardin, the human cavalry swept across the path she passed, and the heavy footsteps of the orc legions advancing towards Venari kicked up a cloud of dust.

On the evening of 2 May, the wife of Du Fuwei, commander of the Huainan Army, escorted by 10,000 Huainan light cavalry, went to the Wei army camp under the city of Luokou to join her uncle Shan Xiongxin.

Passing near Yanshi, a reconnaissance cavalry squad of the Huainan Army encountered Chen Pojun's cavalry, and the whole squad was annihilated.

10,000 Huainan light horses and 20,000 Hebei light horses, which are miles apart, pass by. No one knew what would happen if Chen Pojun's 20,000 cavalry and Du Ji's 10,000 Huainan light cavalry met in the dark. Perhaps this encounter will provoke a reaction from the Yanshi Eastern Capital Army. Maybe Chen Pojun's raid plan will be exposed in advance, and maybe Chen Kefu's 20,000 people will be surrounded. Maybe nothing will happen, but there is a certainty.

In the early morning of 2 May, a violent riot broke out in the camp of the Eastern Capital Army in the ruins of Yanshi City.

Many armed Dongdu army chanted: "Eliminate the traitors" slogan poured into the camp of the Eastern Capital Army, the fierce battle lasted less than half an hour, the sky was not dawn, hundreds of generals in underwear were dragged by the rebels to the cold wind under the collapsed city wall, they are all officers and nobles of the Eastern Capital Army, but these people are mostly Huangfu Xiren and the officers who participated in the last mutiny, most of these usually high-spirited old men were tied up and dragged out of the bed by the rebels in their sleep.

Less than an hour after the mutiny, 20,000 Hebei light cavalry, which were supposed to be stationed in Luoyang, poured into the city. On the street, hundreds of nobles and high-ranking officers, led by Huangfu Wuyi and from various aristocratic and wealthy families in the former Eastern Capital, knelt down to welcome the human army into the city.

This old man's army, which was originally after the mutiny of Huangfu Xiren and killed a large number of Duan Da and Huangfu Wuyi's confidant officers, was already panicked by Huangfu Xiren yesterday and took away 50,000 people. At this time, there were only 40,000 people left in the camp of this Yanshi, and all of them were the old and weak and the children of the nobles of the Eastern Capital. These people were left behind by Huangfu Xiren as the first line of defense against Luoyang's soldiers and horses. After killing a large number of officers, Huangfu Xiren left behind hundreds of officers and colonels loyal to him. After him, with these people here, there should be no problems with the Eastern Capital Army.

In his mind, the Eastern Capital Army had just rebelled against Chen Po's army, and almost surrounded Li Jing in Luokou. The Eastern Capital Army rebelled against Chen Pojun like this, and he no longer had to worry about these remaining officers and soldiers of the Eastern Capital Army colluding with Chen Pojun again.

It's just that he didn't expect that when the Eastern Capital Army first joined Chen Kefu, he had already placed a lot of undercover agents in the Eastern Capital Army. In the early hours of last night, it was those undercover agents who set fires everywhere in the camp, causing the already panicked Dongdu military camp to roar. In the end, an elite army disguised as the Eastern Capital Army under Chen Kefu was brought into the camp and the riot was expanded. In the end, a special operations elite battalion led by Luo Shixin successfully inserted into the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, and directly captured several important generals of Huangfu Wuyi and Huangfu Xirenliu.

At the back, the Yanshi battalion of the Eastern Capital Army, which had 40,000 people, only fought fiercely for less than half an hour, and it was already completely controlled by Chen Kefu.

According to the unwritten traditional custom, Huangfu Wuyi prostrate on the ground and kissed Chen Kefu's dusty boots, and beheaded more than 200 officers who participated in the mutiny last time, including Huangfu Xiren's two sons, and all the soldiers related to it as many as 5,000 people.

It was a breezy and cool morning, and the sky was full of white clouds and a cool breeze. The 60,000 soldiers of the two armies gathered in front of the ruins of Yanshi City, but they were quiet and did not even make a sound. …,

A hundred bare-chested executioners lined up, and the snow-bright broadsword kept swinging, drawing a ray of light in the blood-colored dawn and morning light, and the blade slashed the bone marrow, making a clattering sound, and the blood spurted high from the headless cavity and neck.

The generals of the Eastern Capital Army present seemed to be caught in a dream, their faces were blue, and they didn't say a word.

The solemn, fierce, and weird atmosphere even the people who were killed were calmed, no one cried for help, no one struggled to beg for mercy, whoever was in turn was pressed down by the executioner without a struggle, kneeled, and then, with a flash of the knife, the executioner said flatly: "Next." ”

For several days before and after, the officers and men of the Eastern Capital Army felt immersed in a boundless nightmare.

Panic, dazed.

The day before yesterday had just killed thousands of soldiers loyal to Chen Pojun, and today, with the swing of a big knife, more soldiers fell. Defected to Chen Pojun and died. Defecting to Huangfu Xiren is also death.

Every time a person's head was cut off, someone would carry the scattered head and send it to the generals and officers of the Eastern Capital Army around Chen Pojun's seat to present it, asking him to accept it, and loudly report the identity, official title and title of the deceased.

"General Hu Benlang and Rong Guogong are here, please verify it."

"The heads of General Zhichong Lang and Emperor Fu Wuji are here, please verify them."

The executioner was tired of killing a batch, and changed another batch. The best steel knife was cut and replaced. That morning, the game of cutting off the head was played for two hours, and the thick blood soaked the surface of the feet, reflecting the whole sky red.

Many onlookers didn't hold on to the end, and secretly vomited, although being a soldier is used to seeing life and death when eating food, but it is the first time to see such a naked killing game. The soldiers' faces were pale, but Chen Kefu on the high platform was still talking and laughing, and said to the generals of the Eastern Capital, such as Huangfu Wuyi, who had a gray face: "Ladies and gentlemen, please verify." ”

Huangfu Wuyi is like a living dead, his eyes are like the eyes of a dead fish, and there is no trace of life. Facing Chen Kefu's laughter, he just said indifferently: "It's good for His Highness to verify, His Highness to verify."

Before, Wang Xuanying's sudden rebellion with the Eastern Capital Army caught Chen Kefu off guard. Now, the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Eastern Capital Army suddenly rebelled again, completely handing over the defense line between Luoyang and Luokou Cangcheng to Chen Kefu.
