Chapter 418: Not good! Ye Feng wants to seize the opportunity!
"Lord Ye is wrong. I am not betraying you. Instead, I am loyal to the Song Dynasty." Chen Yu was still leaning there with a calm expression.
"You wait!"
Ye Lin stood up and wanted to walk out of the hall. Just as he took a few steps, he felt the biting cold wind blowing towards him.
call out!call out!call out!
It turned out that many archers had been ambushing on both sides of the hall. They drew their bows and shot arrows towards Ye Lin.
At such a close distance, even though Ye Lin was a warrior with innate cultivation, he had no time to react and was shot to death by several arrows.
The expressions of the other officials of Juling City all changed at the same time. They did not expect Chen Yu to be so decisive and kill without hesitation. It seemed that he was determined to surrender to the King of the State, Ye Feng.
They knew in their hearts that Chen Yu was no ordinary person. If he hadn't been so arrogant, with his talent and ability, he wouldn't have been demoted to Juling City. You know, he used to be by Zhao Changlin's side, and his status was second only to the poisoner Jia Yu.
What they didn't understand was how Chen Yu could be so sure that Zhao Changlin would be defeated? We had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength.
"Come here, please take all the gentlemen to the side yard. No one is allowed to leave without my order. Anyone who dares to trespass will be killed without mercy!"
At Chen Yu's command, nearly a hundred soldiers outside the hall entered the hall. One of the centurions made a gesture of invitation to everyone: "My lords, please come in!"
With the experience of Ye Lin as a precedent, they all knew that resistance would lead to death. They felt unwilling and angry in their hearts but did not dare to express it. They could only follow the soldiers out of the hall.
clatter! clatter! clatter!
At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran outside the hall and said, "Report! Report! Report! Enemy attack! A cavalry is heading towards our Giant Spirit City!"
"Cavalry? Where did the cavalry come from?"
Chen Yu heard the soldiers' report and quickly ran outside the hall, frowning. He knew very well that Juling City was at the edge of Changlin County, surrounded by mountains, and Zhao Changlin had no cavalry, so where would the cavalry come from?
"Reporting to Lord Chen, the direction those cavalrymen are rushing towards should be Xiangshui Village." The soldier who reported the news said to Chen Yu.
"Could it be the cavalry of Zhenguo Jun?" Spiritual power flowed in Chen Yu's body and a light flashed in the depths of his eyes. He knew very well that in the entire Song Dynasty, only Zhenguo Jun and King Dongxuan had cavalry. Zhao Yunfei's cavalry was far away in Dongyu County and it was impossible for them to appear in Changlin County inexplicably. There was only one possibility, that the other party must be Ye Feng's cavalry.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu's face was filled with smiles: "Take them away and lock them up. The rest of you, follow me to see where the cavalry came from."
Lady Xinling, holding a spear and with spiritual power surging in her body, led the cavalry into the Juling City. When the people saw the cavalry charging, they ran into their homes and only dared to look at everything outside quietly through the cracks in the windows.
"Is there no defender in Giant Spirit City?"
Lao Xu held the knife in one hand, the blade flashing, his knife skills were getting faster and faster. When he followed Ye Feng before, the other party taught him how to draw the knife so that he could be faster. He changed the way he drew the knife and the way he practiced according to Ye Feng's method. Sure enough, his knife skills became faster and faster, and his strength improved greatly. Duan Peng and other thousand-man captains were all envious and jealous, and they all begged Ye Feng to teach them, but they couldn't understand even if Ye Feng taught them.
"Look, it's over there!"
Duan Peng's spiritual power flowed through his body and he tightened the reins of his warhorse. The eight thousand cavalrymen behind him were also on high alert, because it was Chen Yu and the defenders of Juling City who were coming towards them.
When Chen Yu saw the cavalry in front of him, he was surprised. He might not recognize others, but the heroic female general leading the opposite side must be Lady Xinling.
"Chen Yu, the defender of Juling City, pays homage to Madam Xinling!"
Chen Yu stood not far away, clasping his hands in front of Madam Xinling, with a smile on his face and excitement in his heart. He wanted to lead the defenders of Juling City to surrender to Ye Feng. He never expected that Ye Feng had already sent people to surrender without him having to do so.
"Ok?"
Madam Xinling frowned slightly, not understanding what kind of medicine was in the gourd of Chen Yu opposite her.
"Madam, don't be surprised. Chen has always been a courtier of the Song Dynasty, and I am unwilling to follow Zhao Changlin in rebellion. I originally wanted to wait for the King of the State to defeat Zhao Changlin, and then lead the 13,000 soldiers of Juling City to surrender to the King of the State, but I didn't expect Madam to come."
Chen Yu said directly in a loud voice.
"Could it be a scam?"
Lao Xu followed behind Lady Xinling and whispered that if the other party pretended to surrender and they attacked directly when they got close, the advantage of their cavalry charge would be gone.
"Go and report to the lord quickly. Madam Xinling led the cavalry to Juling City. Chen Yu, the traitor, led the soldiers of Juling City to surrender to the king."
Just outside the streets of Juling City, two scouts saw this scene, and one of them turned around and left. They were all scouts that Zhao Changlin had planted in various cities, specifically responsible for monitoring the situation in various places and reporting to Zhao Changlin at any time.
"Oh, madam and everyone else, don't worry. Chen really wants to surrender to the King of Zhenguo. His 'Exhortation to Punish the Bandits' is so brilliantly written that I want to ask him for advice!" When Chen Yu saw that Madam Xinling and others were unmoved, he knew that the other party must be afraid of a trap.
"How can I trust you?"
The spiritual power of a seventh-rank junior master flowed through Madam Xinling's body, and the spear in her hand flashed with light. As long as Chen Yu made any unusual movement, she would give an order and lead the cavalry to charge forward.
"This is the evidence that Zhao Changlin planted and sold opium. Isn't that enough?" Chen Yu was obviously prepared. He took out a scroll and ordered someone to send it to Madam Xinling.
Madam Xinling opened the scroll, her eyes flickering. It was indeed the evidence that Zhao Changlin was planting and selling opium. As long as the scroll was made public, coupled with Ye Feng's anti-enemy manifesto, all the images that Zhao Changlin had created before would completely collapse.
"Lord Chen, you have come to the right path and are admirable. Please forgive me for being disrespectful just now!" Lady Xinling put away the scroll and waved to the eight thousand soldiers behind her. All the soldiers put down their spears.
……
"What is Ye Feng up to? He clearly led a large army to attack Guanshan City, so why doesn't he just attack the city with all his might?" Zhao Changlin frowned. He would be able to reach Guanshan City tomorrow with the 200,000 Changlin Army. However, according to the information from Xiao Li, Ye Feng had not made any moves except for a charge with cavalry on the first day and then setting up camp.
"Report! Report! My lord, something terrible has happened. The scouts of Juling City just sent a message that Madam Xinling led the cavalry and came to Juling City from somewhere. Chen Yu led more than 10,000 soldiers and surrendered without any resistance!"
A scout quickly came to Zhao Changlin's tent and reported directly.
"This Chen Yu should have been killed in the first place!"
Zhao Gou stood nearby and spoke indignantly.
"Juling City is so remote and meaningless. Why did Ye Feng send Madam Xinling to Juling City?" Zhao Changlin murmured softly.
"No! Hurry up and give me the map!"
Zhao Changlin suddenly thought of something and his face changed drastically. Wen Xin beside him quickly spread out the map. Zhao Changlin pointed at Juling City with one hand, and then his finger slowly moved and stopped at Majiaoguan on the map. That was the only way to Yunshui City and Yong'an City.
"Ye Feng wants to seize Majiao Pass and divide Changlin County into two. If they cannot support each other, he can defeat them one by one."
Wu Jie stood by, secretly shocked. It was only after he saw the map that he realized that Ye Feng sent cavalry to cross the mountains and take a difficult detour to Juling City in order to rush out of Juling City and seize the important Majiao Pass.
Zhao Changlin has 300,000 Changlin troops under his command, and his military strength itself gives him an advantage. If he were to allow them to support each other, it would be difficult to attack the city.
If they were divided into two, they could be defeated one by one, making it impossible for Zhao Changlin's army to unite as one, and the difficulty of capturing Changlin County would be greatly reduced.
