Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

Chapter 224 Identification! Sufu Crisis!

On the Qinling Mountains, not long after Ye Chen and his men began to retreat, the imperial guards discovered that people from the Beijing camp were leading their troops over.

There are quite a lot of these people.

However, the mountain roads were rugged, and it was difficult for the Beijing troops to surround them immediately.

"Send people to block several intersections and use all the explosives."

Ye Chen took the terrain map and gave the order.

When the imperial guards suddenly destroyed Cao Kun's army, they seized some explosives.

Dayu's explosives were accidentally made by a Taoist alchemist. Their power cannot be compared with the explosives of later generations, but as long as the amount of explosives is sufficient, the destructive power caused is not small.

In order to open a copper mine, Cao Kun also spent a lot of money to buy a large amount of gunpowder.

Ye Chen used all of them at this time.

At his command, the imperial guards immediately sent a group of people to block the intersection.

Shouts of killing soon rang out.

"Boom boom boom~!"

"Wow~!"

Accompanied by bursts of exciting explosions, a large amount of rocks rolled down.

The explosion sites chosen by the Imperial Guards were all loose areas.

A large amount of rock collapsed and turned into a torrent, blocking the advance of the Beijing army.

Many of the roads that were built by the powerful people in the Beijing camp at the expense of a large amount of manpower were destroyed.

There were only two roads that were not suitable for blasting, and they were blocked by the imperial guards.

"Go! Go! Charge forward and kill these thieves!"

On the top of the Qinling Mountains, Yu Sheng, the highest commander of the Beijing Camp, roared angrily.

This is the first time such a thing has happened since the Beijing army took control of the Qinling Mountains.

However, Yu Sheng's background was not as good as Cao Tao's. The reason why he could have such a status was entirely due to the promotion of the Cao family.

But now that such a big thing has happened, if the responsibility is investigated, I guess he will lose his position as the deputy general of the Beijing camp.

Not to mention, if something really happened to Cao Kun, he might have to pay with his life.

So he was very anxious now, and even went ahead to lead the charge. However, what greeted him was a continuous rain of arrows, solid shields, and cold spears.

"Bah!"

Yu Sheng widened his eyes and watched his personal soldiers charging with shields raised on the narrow mountain road, but were blocked by the enemy's shield formation.

"Are these elite troops? They're not just ordinary bandits!"

Yu Sheng realized that something was wrong.

Where else in or outside the capital city could you find such elite soldiers?

Who are these people who attacked the Qinling Mountains?

Yu Sheng was very confused, but at this moment, he did not care about the other party's identity. After being forcibly blocked, he immediately arranged for more people to rush up.

Relying on the advantage in numbers.

The imperial guards were pushed back gradually.

But the advancement speed has never been fast enough.

"Damn it."

Yu Sheng was extremely anxious and was just trying to find a way to take a detour.

But his men brought a letter sent by carrier pigeon.

"Has the general already led his men to the foot of the mountain?"

Yu Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

As Cao Tao's deputy general, he could naturally guess what Cao Tao wanted to do.

"Inform everyone, don't worry about the sacrifices, just keep charging! We must tie up the bandits!"

Yu Sheng gave the order decisively.

Although he was promoted by the Cao family, he was also chosen by the Cao family because of his considerable abilities.

He now understood Cao Tao's intention, which was to use a two-pronged approach to attack those who went up the mountain, leaving them with no way to go up to heaven or down to the ground.

Then he would naturally cooperate with all his strength.

And at this time.

Ye Chen, who had been paying close attention to the battle situation, gradually discovered that something was wrong.

Ye Chen had anticipated that the troops of the Beijing camp would attack desperately.

But these soldiers from the Beijing camp were like reckless men, attacking desperately all the time, which was not right.

Logically speaking, a strong attack would not be enough. Seeing that Ye Chen was about to lead his troops down the mountain, the general of the Beijing camp should have immediately found a way to get around him.

Either secretly repair the road, or take a small path that Ye Chen didn't notice.

In short, we shouldn't keep going like this.

Could it be that this general of the Beijing camp is a fool?

Ye Chen had originally arranged scouts to watch on other small paths and blocked roads, but now it seems that these arrangements are meaningless.

"The generals in the Beijing camp shouldn't be so stupid. These guys must have some backup plan."

Ye Chen fell into deep thought, while Shen Qiu beside him said: "Your Majesty, let's retreat quickly. Cao Kun and the miners have already retreated to the foot of the mountain. Only some captured soldiers have not yet evacuated."

"Release all those soldiers. Also, send more scouts to keep a close eye on the surrounding situation. I have a feeling something is amiss."

Ye Chen said quickly.

At this moment, Murong Yan suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I also feel something is wrong."

Hearing this, Ye Chen turned to look at Murong Yan and said, "Yan'er, what did you notice? Tell me about it."

"Your Majesty, I think the commanders of the Beijing camp knew that such a strong attack would be ineffective, but they still chose to attack by force instead of taking other routes or repairing the easily accessible mountain roads."

Murong Yan narrowed her eyes and said, "This is very abnormal."

"These generals from the Beijing camp are trying to hold us back!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen was slightly stunned, and his heart suddenly tightened.

"not good!"

Ye Chen reacted instantly.

The troops on the mountain wanted to hold him back, which meant that the Beijing camp would attack other places.

The only place where the Beijing Camp could take action and was most likely to succeed, Ye Chen thought about it and concluded that it was only behind him!

Su Fu is in danger!
