Half an hour later, Guan Xiao and Li Yanhe led a group of troops respectively, and each headed towards the two city gates arranged by the strategy.
Guan Xiao personally led a thousand Hebei soldiers to Kaiyangmen in the southeast of Dongdu.
Li Yanhe, on the other hand, led three thousand cavalry of soldiers and soldiers from the south, heading straight for Guangyang Gate in the southwest of Dongdu.
The latter collected giant trees crossing the river along the way and dragged them to the horses. These three thousand Yanyang soldiers rushed in the forest, causing dust and smoke to billow. For a moment, they had the momentum of ten thousand horses galloping!
On the mountain road to Guangyang Gate, Li Yanhe looked at Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi who were following him, with a worried look on his face.
He opened his mouth and said: "Listen to what he thinks, how could he let you two go to the front line in person..."
Lin Manliu responded: "General Li, don't worry! The old liar just now also fought today. It was just a feint attack across the bank, no need to cross the river!"
Li Yanhe raised his hand to rest his forehead, and the worry on his face did not diminish at all, and even became more intense.
"After we return to camp, I will definitely give him a good lesson. This is not a competition between rivers and lakes! If something goes wrong between the two of you..."
Yue Hanzhi leaned forward and looked at the two people.
She said: "Man Liuhui and I will take care of ourselves, and General Li can rest assured to defend the enemy! We will never act out of anger!"
After he finished speaking, the young man sandwiched between the two also nodded his head.
"Today, both General Guan and our side are here to test the reality of the south gate of Dongdu. We stay in the forest and pay attention to the situation, so as not to hinder everyone too much!"
Seeing the two people's attitudes, Li Yanhe could only nod in response.
"That's it..."
He really thought in his heart that after today's matter is over, he must find Dang to understand.
You just have to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and you still have to let your seniors go into battle. Do you think these battlefield matters are all child's play?
As time passed, Li Yanhe and his party got closer and closer to Guangyang Gate on the southwest side of Dongdu.
On the southern city wall of Dongdu, Wu Yeqi, who was in charge of the garrison, also noticed the dust rolling up in the forest.
Countless birds were hovering in the thick smoke, and their neighing sounds continued due to fright. From time to time, birds would fly towards the head of the Eastern Capital City.
Wu Yeqi on the top of the city looked at the attacking birds and immediately pulled the bow string in his hand to kill them all.
A messenger soldier shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy troops are coming! They may be rebels stationed in the south!"
Soon, the soldiers responsible for delivering the message shouted loudly from all over the city, blowing their horns every time they went to the smoke pier.
Buzz-buzz-
Suddenly, the black night riders on the top of Guangyang Gate City became alert and began to look carefully at the forest and mountains on the other side of the river.
Compared with ordinary Yanyang soldiers, Wu Yeqi may have experienced hundreds of battles. From discovering the enemy's situation to preparing for it, it only took half a stick of incense.
Even General Wu Yeqi stationed at the main gate of Yongqiao has received the news from Guangyang Gate.
Inside the main gate tower, the three generals responsible for guarding the south gate were already standing in front of the Dongdu defense sand table.
The general of Guangyang Gate clenched the long knife at his waist, with a look of ridicule on his face.
"Do you want to make a dangerous move with your troops? If you can't cross the Everlasting Bridge, you have to cross the river and attack... What can he do if he has thousands of troops here today!"
The commander of Yongqiao said solemnly: "I'm afraid they are pretending to attack Guangyang. They want us to form an army to defend the southwest, and then take advantage of the weakness and rush straight to Yongqiao..."
The general of Guangyang Gate clasped his fists on his chest and looked at General Yongqiao beside him.
He shouted: "There is no need to send more manpower. I will go to the top of the city to take personal command. Even if they really have a way to cross the river, I can block them all from the bottom of the city!"
General Yongqiao glanced at the other party, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"General Chu personally leads the troops to fight against the rebels to the east. We still need to protect the south gate and don't allow General Chu to be distracted by this!"
The general of Guangyang Gate shouted loudly: "The last general has received the order!"
After that, he walked towards the west gate of the tower.
After he walked out of the tower, General Kaiyangmen, who had been silent until now, slowly spoke up.
"Now the main force in the south has been discovered. It is composed of soldiers from Nandizhou City. The leader is the Rongcheng guard Li Yanhe..."
Before he finished speaking, General Yongqiao spoke up.
"I know that you are worried. This battle will definitely involve more than just making moves, but Mu Laoer has such a temperament that he can't stop him."
"Why not try to stop him for a while? What if he fails before the battle and follows in the footsteps of Huang Xiaojia..."
"Looking at each other across the river, if you can still die like this, you are just like Huang Xiaojia. It would be a shame to die!"
"Understood..."
"You also rush to Kaiyangmen as soon as possible to make preparations. You must not affect General Chu's plan!"
"The last general takes command!"
After the general of Kaiyang Gate finished clasping his fists, he turned around and walked towards the east gate of the city tower.
The second Mu Lao in the mouth of the two of them was naturally the Guangyang Clan general.
His name is Mu Sancheng, and he joins Wu Yeqi along with Huang Xiaojia. Due to the need to hide his traces over the years, his true nature has been suppressed repeatedly.
Now that it was finally time to make his mark, would he miss this opportunity?
As he walked on the city head to Guangyang Gate, dust was stirred up in the mountains and forests across the river bank.
The bloodthirsty desire in Mu Sancheng's heart was gradually increasing.
If possible today, I will let all those bastards be buried here!
...
At the same time, Li Yanhe and others, who were running back and forth in the forest to create an illusion, were also paying attention to the changes at the top of the city.
On top of the Guangyang Gate city, Wu Yeqi continued to gather and prepare, and everything was as they expected.
Then he only needs to make a feint later and wait for Guan Xiao to make his move.
Li Yanhe said: "The three hundred riders who dragged the giant tree followed me to the edge of the river bank, threw the giant tree into the river, and immediately retreated!"
The three hundred riders behind him all shouted: "I have the order!"
These people were his personal soldiers that he had already assembled when he was in Jiannan. He felt most at ease with these people leading the battle.
Li Yanhe raised his hand, Chen Wu Guan, and waved vigorously towards the outskirts of the mountain forest.
"Charge with me!"
Kill - kill -
At the same time as the shouts of the three hundred riders sounded, the sound of horse hooves tapping the ground and the rolling of giant trees also sounded.
In an instant, the iron hooves were like thunder, and the giant trees were like wild waves!
Under the leadership of Li Yanhe, the three hundred horsemen and horses moved forward without hesitation. They broke out of the forest with their front legs and rushed to the edge of the river with their rear legs.
In just a few breaths, the fastest riders among the crowd had dragged the giant tree dragged by the horses to the river bank.
Without waiting for Li Yanhe to say anything, they cut the rope with their long swords!
The uncontrollable giant tree slipped from the edge of the river bank and crashed directly into the river.
The giant tree entered the water and stirred up thousands of waves. Suddenly, there were violent waves and waves crashing on the edge of the river bank.
At the same time, on top of the Guangyang Gate, Mu Sancheng began to issue orders.
"A volley of bows and arrows to stop them from continuing to sink the wood!"
The Wu Yeqi stationed at the top of the city all shouted in unison.
"Got the order!"
The bow strings in their hands were already tense, and after hearing Mu Sancheng's instructions, they immediately shot out the arrows!
In an instant, a volley of arrows shot forward, all pointing at the location of the three hundred cavalry led by Li Yanhe.
Li Yanhe waved the dust in his hand to block the incoming arrows as much as possible, and the cavalry around him did the same.
They must cover their comrades behind them and throw away all the giant trees before they can retreat.
However, there is a gap in the hundred meters. Even if they move forward with all their strength and wield their long swords, they are still no match for the ruthless shooting of the arrow rain.
Several soldiers who were still hauling giant trees had been hit by several arrows.
One of them was unable to cut off the rope in a short time because the arrow penetrated his shoulder.
He was heartbroken, raised his left hand to take the end of Chang Ge, and crashed into the giant tree.
While dismounting from his horse, he aimed at the last rope that bound the giant tree and took a strong breath from his chest and abdomen!
"General Li! The last general is taking the first step!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow suddenly hit his face.
This arrow hit his head backwards, and there was even a sound of bones breaking!
Click!
But even with this fatal arrow, the Chang Ge in his hand still cut off the rope.
The giant tree that was originally suspended halfway up the river bank fell into the middle of the river the next moment.
The soldier who cut off the rope also fell into his trap.
The waves stirred up by the giant tree this time were even more spectacular than any other time before. The water from the river rushing towards Mu could splash towards the city walls of Guangyang Gate.
When Li Yanhe heard the cry, he had already looked at the soldiers who were fighting and breaking the rope.
He watched with his own eyes as he sacrificed his life for justice, and also saw with his own eyes that an arrow pierced his head.
While Li Yanhe waved the silver spear in his hand, he began to look for the direction in which the arrow was shot.
On the top of Guangyang Gate, Mu Sancheng, who shot the arrow, also looked at him in the middle of the hundred cavalry.
The former pulled the bow string again and pointed the arrow at Li Yanhe, but he delayed shooting the arrow.
Mu Sanchen seemed to be teasing Li Yanhe, deliberately moving the arrow to the left and then to the right.
In short, just don’t shoot this arrow!
"Li Yanhe...you can guess who I am going to shoot with this arrow!"
The two of them were far apart, and Li Yanhe could only vaguely see the other person's mouth movements, but anyone could see such mocking words!
Li Yanhe once again waved Chen Wuguo in his hand, forcing all the arrows in front of him to retreat.
Without waiting for Mu Sancheng on the top of the city to react, he immediately drew out the short bow on his horse and held an arrow in his right hand.
The next moment, Li Yanhe drew the short bow in his hand to the full moon, and then shot an arrow!
Whoosh——
The feathered arrow shot straight forward with the sound of breaking through the air, first across the river, then flew towards the city wall, and finally pointed directly at the door facing Mu Sancheng.
The latter was horrified and immediately pulled a soldier in front of him to block the arrow.
The incoming feather arrow first penetrated the head of the soldier in front of him, and then even penetrated his head armor!
Finally, the hot arrow, carrying a slight smell of blood, stopped on Mu Sancheng's face, leaving a slight blood mark on his face.
Impossible... How could he be so lethal with just a short bow?
After shooting the arrow, Li Yanhe shouted to withdraw his troops, and took the remaining hundred cavalry with him to the mountains and forests.
