Southeast of Dongdu, Kaiyang Gate is located.
Although there were only a thousand soldiers from Hebei who came to attack the city this time, Guan Xiao was personally in charge of the central army, and Zheng Kuan, Zhou Biao and others led the troops to attack the city.
Their offensive in the area around Kaiyang Gate was still considered a complete suppression.
As for the Wu Yeqi on the top of the city, most of them were good at attacking but weak at defending against the enemy. At this moment, facing the attack of Guan Xiao and others, they could only barely resist and wait for the south gate tower to send troops for reinforcements.
As soon as the soldiers from Zheng Kuan's team finished charging, they took over the baton with Zhou Biao and retreated to the other side of the river.
When Governor Zheng returned to the forest, he saw Guan Xiao stopping and looking in the distance, looking in his direction as if he was observing the movements of the south gate tower.
Zheng Kuan smiled and said: "Brothers, coming here today can be regarded as smoothing away the bad energy from the past few days!"
Guan Xiao nodded as a sign, but his eyes were still staring in the direction of the south gate tower.
Zheng Kuan could only follow and looked over, and he asked: "The garrison on the tower of Wu Yeqi has not rushed here to help, but there are changes?"
Guan Xiaoyan said: "Well, the situation that is beneficial to us is that General Li has led people to severely damage one side of Guangyang Gate, so that the other side's general has to guard against..."
Zheng Kuan also knows his temperament and will definitely not always think the best of things.
The young man put his hands behind his head and began to talk about the worst plan leisurely.
"The situation that is unfavorable to us is that the general of the city tower has already seen through the plan, and is waiting to weaken the fighting spirit of our two armies, and finally catch them all in one fell swoop!"
Guan Xiao pondered and said: "Yes, now we can only wait and see what happens on General Li's side, and we will take action here..."
Just as the two of them were talking, there was a sudden sound of horses racing from behind the makeshift camp.
The brisk sound of horse hooves resounded in the forest, followed by a shout.
"The battle at Guangyang Gate is over! General Li has led his people towards Yongqiao Avenue!"
The person who came was a messenger scout from Li Yanhe's army. He was galloping all the way, waving the Southland military flag in his hand.
When Zheng Kuan heard this cry, he was immediately ecstatic.
Wouldn't it be possible to go to Yongqiao Avenue later and teach those black night riders a lesson?
I can repay the grievances I have suffered for more than a month from those thieves today!
Guan Xiao wanted to appear calmer. He raised his hand to signal the followers behind him to move forward.
"Wu Yeqi, who failed to avoid opening Yangmen later, became suspicious and asked Zhou Biao and his men to delay for half a stick of incense before leading them back to the forest!"
The attendant didn't hesitate for a moment, clasped his fists and responded loudly: "I have the order!"
Zheng Kuan said from the side: "I will also go with you so that I can take care of Zhou Biao?"
Guan Xiao shook his head and rejected the young man's idea.
"We can go directly to Yongqiao Avenue. As long as Wu Yeqi detects the true intentions of our two armies, the Kaiyangmen war will end early."
Zheng Kuan nodded immediately without hesitation, and then began to retreat to the back of the camp.
After all, he also understood that he could not let him vent his anger when faced with major events, but had to listen to Guan Xiao's arrangements.
In this way, their purpose of invading Kaiyangmen was achieved when scout Li Yanhe arrived.
...
Half an hour later, the cavalry troops from the Southland who rushed from Guangyang Gate and the Hebei soldiers who retreated from Kaiyang Gate formally met on the official road of Dongdu.
When Li Yanhe was still some distance away from Guan Xiao and the others, he raised the sun-rising flag in his hand.
The Hebei soldiers all understood that there could only be one voice in the process of moving forward.
Later, during the battle on Yongqiao Avenue, Wu Yeqi must know what the orthodox Yanyang Army is!
Li Yanhe waved the Sunrise Command Flag forward and shouted loudly.
"Wu Yeqi is already tired of dealing with the two partial gate defenses. There won't be too many troops at the tower, and the speed of the reinforcements won't be as fast as ours!"
"My fellow soldiers! Charge with me!"
Both the southern cavalry and the Hebei soldiers were all very enthusiastic at this moment. While waving their weapons, they began to rush towards Dongdu.
In their mouths, they roared lowly one after another.
Kill - kill - kill -
Just as Li Yanhe and others expected, when they arrived in front of Yongqiao Avenue in the east capital, the troops on the south gate tower had not yet been assembled. With such an arrangement, there were no manpower to set up defenses on the avenue.
On the south gate tower, General Yongqiao looked at Li Yanhe at the other end of the avenue, the anger in his heart clearly evident in his eyes.
"I came here to intrude today because I really wanted to go straight to the south gate..."
Due to the death of the personal guard who accompanied the army earlier, no one dared to step forward to question General Yongqiao at this moment.
Next to him, Wu Yeqi's subordinates could only wait carefully for the other party to give orders.
He turned to look at the person behind him and spoke.
"Withdraw the reinforcements on both sides of Guangyang and Kaiyang, leaving the original defense manpower behind, and the rest will return to the reinforcements as soon as possible!"
The listener immediately clasped his fists on his chest and shouted: "The last general takes command!"
After that, the Wuye cavalry soldier retreated towards Guangyang Gate, but before he could take a few steps.
Behind him, there were shouts and curses!
"My previous goal was to hurry up! By the time you reach Guangyang Gate, I'm afraid the thief will have already reached the main road!"
Cold sweat broke out from the back of Wu Ye's cavalry soldier. In order to avoid dying tragically like the previous guard, he immediately moved his body and ran towards Guangyang Gate without looking back.
General Yongqiao raised his arms and began to issue a series of instructions to defend against the enemy.
Assign soldiers to guard both sides of Yongqiao Avenue, personally lead the troops to prepare for the south gate, and prepare all Wu Yeqi who are responsible for the charge to stand guard at the door openings on both sides of the main entrance.
When he finished speaking, the Wuye cavalry soldiers behind them all responded with a "get the order" and then began to attack everywhere.
In the end, only General Yongqiao and a soldier responsible for delivering messages were left in front of the city tower. He fixed his gaze on the Wuye cavalry soldier.
The latter clasped his fists and said, "General, do you still have something to tell me?"
General Yongqiao was silent for a long time, and finally he spoke lightly as if he had lost all his energy.
"Send all the battles at the South Gate out of the city and try to inform General Chu..."
The Wuye Cavalry soldiers behind him were shocked once again when they heard what Lord Yongqiao said.
Whether it was the Qingqi who appeared at Guangyang Gate or the soldiers who emerged from Kaiyang Gate, the total number was only three thousand.
Why did General Yongqiao in front of him want to alarm General Chu who was marching outside? Could it be that in his opinion... the entire South Gate defense at this moment was still unable to resist the intrusion of these three thousand people?
There are already counterexamples, so this messenger soldier is certainly not stupid, and he cannot express these thoughts in his heart.
He cupped his fists and shouted, "I have the order!"
The next moment, he rushed down to the top of the city, led two batches of fast horses, and started heading towards the east city gate.
With the previous battles in Guangyang and Kaiyang foreshadowing, the decisive battle will always be simpler and rougher than before.
From the moment they rushed onto Yongqiao Avenue, the soldiers of the two armies led by Li Yanhe rushed forward without giving the other side a chance to react.
The defense Wu Yeqi had just set up was quickly broken up by more than two thousand riders, followed closely by the Hebei soldiers led by Guan Xiao, who were responsible for the finishing work on the road.
In just half a stick of incense, Li Yanhe had already led his men to the middle section of Yongqiao.
He looked ahead at the Wuye Cavalry pouring out from both sides of the south gate of Dongdu, and immediately raised the Sunrise Flag in his hand above his head.
"You are entrenched in the Eastern Capital and are helping the Shang Dynasty to do evil. I, Li Yanhe, will kill you here today!"
In Wu Ye's riding, someone immediately shouted.
"They're just some trash put together here and there, and they dare to come here to harass me!"
Li Yanhe first waved the flag in his hand forward, then twisted the flag handle with one hand, and the entire flag turned in his hand!
When the sun rises, the flag of the flag immediately closes up, turning it into a spear in his hand.
In this way, as the general in front of the Nandi and Hebei armies, Li Yanhe held a long weapon in each hand.
The Chen Wu Guan and the Sun Rising Flags intertwined in front of him. From a distance, it looked like he was holding a deep black light and a dazzling white light in his hands.
Li Yanhe shouted loudly: "General Guan is waiting for us to raid the formation!"
Guan Xiao responded softly: "With me, Erlang of Hebei, no one dares to step forward!"
With just the two of them, more than a hundred southern cavalrymen rushed forward following Li Yanhe, while the Hebei soldiers behind Guan Xiao also followed suit and began to advance towards both sides of Yongqiao Avenue.
Wu Yeqi was naturally prepared.
After the leaders on both sides looked at each other, they raised their swords one after another and led the black night cavalry soldiers forward.
The southern gate of the Eastern Capital is located, and the war on Yongqiao Avenue is about to break out!
Li Yanhe led the Qingqi to charge. Although the killing power was half inferior to Wu Yeqi's, they had Guan Xiao and others rushing by.
As long as Wu Yeqi dares to let go of his hands and feet to face the enemy, there will be Hebei soldiers on both sides of Yongqiao Avenue to pursue and intercept him.
Yongqiao Avenue seemed extremely narrow under the crowds of thousands of people.
Wu Yeqi's cavalry force, which was famous for its fierceness, was suppressed to death by Li Yanhe and Guan Xiao.
It's not that the Nandi Qingqi are very nimble, it's just that the battlefield here is really not suitable for the Black Night Cavalry to fight on the move.
The two armies fought for only seven or eight rounds, and the leader of the Wuye Cavalry who had previously led the army was beheaded by Li Yanhe on the spot.
The remaining person had to lead people to retreat to the back section of Yongqiao Avenue, and was forced to give up the fight with Li Yanhe and others for the right to compete for the middle section of Yongqiao Avenue.
Guan Xiao and his group seemed to become more and more courageous as they fought, especially Zheng Kuan who was charging behind him.
The young man is already good at archery. As long as he finds an opportunity, he will shoot an arrow for those who are good at riding in the dark night.
After he succeeded, he did not forget to shout, the governor of Liaocheng is here, who dares to kill me!
Zheng Kuan looked at the leader of the Wuye Cavalry who was retreating and shouted directly at his back.
"That was the piece of trash that was just pieced together! It was you!!!"
While he was yelling and scolding, he once again pulled the bowstring in his hand to the full moon. Before he could finish his words, the arrow had already left the string!
