Chou hour
As soon as Chang Jingchuan entered Feixia Waterfall, the Song family army quietly surrounded Feixia Waterfall.
Half an incense stick later, Yan Wei, Zhu Xu and several secret guards left in the capital by Feng Jinyu came galloping on their horses.
Lieutenant General Wang of the Song Army bowed and whispered, "Guard Yan, Chang Jingchuan has already gone in. Feixia Waterfall has been surrounded by our Song Army. We need to get the general's order before we can take the next step."
Yan Wei glanced around Feixia Waterfall. It was pitch black, with the gleam of white swords visible. He said, "General Wang, may I ask how many people have arrived tonight?"
"Eight thousand men! It's more than enough to deal with their three thousand soldiers. Besides, we've been secretly tampering with their horses these past few days. We've blocked all three exits. They can't escape tonight!"
Yan Wei said, "General Song and his men will probably arrive in half an incense stick of time. To prevent Chang Jingchuan from destroying the evidence, we will investigate first. When General Song arrives, we will cooperate with him from inside and outside."
As soon as he finished speaking, a signal flare from the Song family army came from the mountain behind Feixia Waterfall.
Lieutenant General Wang cried out urgently, "Oh no! The people inside are coming out of the valley from the back mountain!"
"Commander Wang can take action now!"
Without the general's order, he was not allowed to make any decision on his own. When Brigadier General Wang was hesitating, three flares from Song Heng were heard from the direction of the capital.
Admiral Wang then shouted, "Action!"
When Song Heng and Song Linyuan arrived with 500 people, the two sides were in a stalemate.
Song Linxiao glanced at the situation and said, "Dad, the Second Prince's three thousand elite soldiers are perfect for us to recruit and strengthen our Song family army."
Song Heng nodded. "Go ahead. Use your persuasive words to make them lay down their weapons and surrender."
Song Linxiao rode his horse forward and reached the highest point of the waterfall. The Song army then raised densely packed torches, illuminating the valley below the waterfall as bright as day.
Chang Jingchuan's expression changed slightly when he saw Song Linxiao.
Feixia Waterfall is so hidden, how did the Song family discover it?
Could it be that the eldest prince discovered it when he secretly investigated the Cui family?
This is impossible!
They had spies in the eldest prince's mansion at the beginning, so they took the initiative when the eldest prince started to investigate the Cui family!
The Song family couldn't possibly have such thoughts!
Is there someone else behind this besides the eldest prince?
The third prince or the fourth prince?
While Chang Jingchuan was pondering, Song Linxiao's sonorous and powerful voice came from the sky:
"Everyone in the valley, listen up! I am General Song Linxiao of the Zhenbei General's Mansion and the Great General of the Cavalry. I urge you to lay down your weapons and surrender. I can plead with the Emperor on your behalf to formally recruit you into the Tiger Power Battalion and make you a member of the Song Family Army. You will become a true soldier, ready to fight and serve your country! If you stubbornly resist and join the Second Prince in rebellion, then tonight you will be the rebels under the sword of the Song Family Army!"
After that, the Song family soldiers in the front row changed to crossbows with torches.
"This general will only give you a quarter of an hour. Life or death depends entirely on your decision. We are all northerners. Our swords should be pointed at the enemy, not our own compatriots!"
The three thousand elite soldiers in the valley were slightly moved. Now the strength between the enemy and us was too different, and they were at a disadvantage.
Although the valley is large, they are now surrounded by the Song family army. Even if they fight to break out, they are no match for the Song family army who have fought on the battlefield and killed enemies.
But they are soldiers trained by General Chen, they can’t be cowardly!
Chen Xiong felt unhappy at this moment. He followed the second prince in order to gain the merit of following the emperor and be awarded an official position and a higher rank.
The three thousand elite soldiers he trained were the initial team of his Chen Family Army.
The Second Prince was still too soft-hearted. He should have allowed the Grand Prince to live and be granted a fiefdom!
He won't be trapped here tonight!
Song Linxiao quickly noticed Chen Xiong and was a little surprised.
Back then, he was the top martial arts scholar. The current emperor admired him very much and planned to find him a position in the Tiger Power Camp and focus on training him. However, this person suddenly resigned and returned to his hometown.
Unexpectedly, he was won over by the Second Prince so early.
"Chen Xiong! It's been a struggle for you to train these three thousand elite soldiers. I doubt you'll want to waste all your years of hard work here. As long as you lead your soldiers to join the light, the Emperor will surely take good care of you. That's all I have to say. Think carefully, as time is running out."
Chang Jingchuan saw that Chen Xiong was somewhat relentless. "Chen Xiong, you need to think clearly. You swore an oath in front of the Second Prince, pledging allegiance to His Highness until death. Now we have to rush out and seek a glimmer of hope."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiong turned around and looked at the soldiers he had trained. There was no fear in their eyes.
A hint of pride flashed in Chen Xiong's eyes. These were the soldiers he had trained.
They are all good guys.
How could he bear to let them die here?
Chen Xiong looked back at him, "The Cui family's cheating in the imperial examination has been exposed. The Second Prince is doomed to lose the chance to become the crown prince..."
"you……"
While Chen Xiong was speaking, a sharp sword was placed against Chang Jingchuan's neck.
Chang Jingchuan hardly saw him draw his sword.
"Chang Jingchuan, we must know the current situation and not waste our lives. Come, tie him up!"
Chen Xiong looked up at Song Linxiao who was standing high up in the sky and shouted, "General Song, do you mean what you said?"
Song Linxiao showed regret on his face. It seemed that he would not be able to move his muscles tonight.
It's so boring, it's better to fight back!
"This general keeps his word!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiong raised the flag of surrender, and the sound of weapons falling to the ground could be heard from the valley...
The next day.
"Master, the Beiyi court is very lively today."
Baili Xuanlang stood by the window with his hands behind his back, wearing half a mask, watching Song Heng and his son, with happy faces, galloping past under his nose with a group of soldiers.
