With a burst of sound breaking through the air, Li Xian's arrow was already flying forward!
The leader of Wuye Cavalry, who was leading his troops to retreat, turned around and was about to wave his sword to block the feather arrow, but he was momentarily stunned.
Because the arrow had already penetrated his chin and then pierced the back of his neck.
The leader of the Wuye Cavalry looked at the arrow-shooting boy in disbelief. He never imagined that he would fall into the hands of a generation.
"It's impossible...how could it be like this..."
As he whimpered, his whole body fell off his horse, and finally fell weakly on Yongqiao Avenue.
With the death of the leader of the Black Night Cavalry on the spot, the morale of the soldiers led by Li Yanhe and Guan Xiao rose again.
Among the crowd, soldiers kept shouting loudly.
Their words were extremely simple, containing only the word "kill". Such straightforwardness became the source of motivation for the soldiers of both armies to move forward.
However, Li Yanhe and the others did not continue to approach the south gate of the east capital.
Because reinforcements from Guangyang and Kaiyang are already in place on the city walls on both sides, any rush for quick success at this moment will only result in more losses than gains.
What's more, from the time they reached the middle section of Yongqiao Avenue, they could not see the figure of General Yongqiao, nor could they find out the specific defense of the south gate.
Li Yanhe raised the flag of the rising sun in his hand, signaling the Nandi Qingqi behind him to stop there.
Guan Xiao also raised his sword at the same time, and the Hebei soldiers on both sides of Yongqiao Avenue also quickly stopped and waited for instructions.
The former spoke aloud: "It's not easy to get to Chu today... I hope General Guan will try to lead his troops to evacuate Chu after Li cuts off later!"
Guan Xiao nodded and said, "Well... Guangyang, Kaiyang and the south gate tower were all damaged. If they want to pursue them, they need to think about it. We have other ambushes, so evacuation is not a big problem. "
But just as the two of them were talking, the towering gate under the south gate tower suddenly opened? !
The city gate was opened from the inside to the outside. When everyone heard the sound and looked around, they found that there were only more than ten cavalry figures walking inside the gate.
The leader was a man with a cold face, and there seemed to be some undried blood on his armor.
The dirty blood slid down his gauntlets, and then fell onto Yongqiao Avenue...
At this moment, the sound of blood splashing seemed to be louder than the sound of the city gate opening.
On Yongqiao Avenue at the South Gate, whether it was Wu Yeqi beside the man or the soldiers of the two armies in the middle, they could hear the sound of "tick-tock, tick-tock..." dirty blood falling.
The man in armor was completely unaware of all the reactions. He just slowly pulled the reins in his hands to let the horse move forward.
The man's horse's hoofs were very heavy, and every time the hoofbeats sounded, it seemed to cause the Yongqiao Avenue to tremble.
A trace of doubt arose in Guan Xiao's heart. Is the person in front of him General Yongqiao? It doesn't seem like...
Li Yanhe said to himself: "This person is definitely not the original general, something is not right...General, please take the people away first!"
The former didn't hesitate at all, he immediately flashed his long sword and signaled a retreat to the soldiers in the rear.
Before the two of them could make any move, the armored man coming from the city gate had already spoken.
"Today you are here to intrude... but you still want to take people away safely?"
Li Yanhe looked at the man in front of him alertly, clenching the weapons in his hands again and again. He was always ready to step forward and stop the man.
His instinct from many years of marching told him that the person in front of him must not be simple!
Because since the armored man appeared, he could clearly detect some changes in the black night riders above the city.
His eyes, demeanor, and morale have all changed!
The fundamental reason why these things have changed, or the reason why all the soldiers of the Black Night Cavalry have changed, is only one, that is the armored man in front of him!
Li Yanhe could already make a rough guess about the identity of the person in front of him.
He shouted: "Could it be that General Chu Xu who is coming!"
The armored man raised his eyes slightly and looked at Li Yanhe.
"Are you the guard general of Rongcheng - Li Yanhe? Or do you want Chu to call you... Lord Commander?"
Guan Xiao, who was retreating back, could naturally hear the two people's words clearly.
Compared to learning that the visitor was the commander of Wu Yeqi, he was even more shocked by Li Yanhe's true identity.
At first, he had some suspicions about Li Yanhe, who was holding the flag of the rising sun.
The first possibility is that this sun-raising flag was a gift from the mastermind behind the scenes, and was used to mobilize soldiers from various states and cities in critical moments.
The second possibility is that the shout from Chu Xu made the envoy...
This title does not refer to any official position in the Yanyang Army, but it is the true holder of the Risen Order Flag who calls him this name.
And this thing could only be granted by the emperor himself. Li Yanhe was just a southern guard. How did he get in touch with the current prince?
Guan Xiao's guesses were all dispelled after Chu Xu personally called out the order to the Lord.
At this moment, he also knew very well that now was definitely not the time to ask Li Yanhe about the whole matter. The top priority was to lead people to evacuate the cluster as soon as possible!
On Li Yanhe's side, he had clenched his two soldiers, staring at Chu Xu's every move.
The latter did not give any instructions, and still just rode forward, walking towards Li Yanhe step by step.
Chu Xu spoke up: "In just three moments, all the rebels who invaded Chu will be killed on the spot. What do you think, Li Yanhe?"
Li Yanhe replied loudly: "Why delay here? Since the troops at the south gate have gathered on the main road, why not fight back? Is it because General Chu wants to be safe... and never takes action if he feels that he cannot catch them all at once?"
Chu Xu said: "Today I was forced to return to the city and forced to come here to talk about it. I think both you... and Guan Xiao are smart people, so there is no need to use some tricks to provoke the general..."
Before Chu Xu could finish his words, Li Yanhe stopped listening to his nonsense. After stepping on the stirrups with both feet, Chen Wuguo thrust forward in his hands.
The next moment, he was going to attack Chu Xu head-on with this shot!
No one expected that the latter actually stood in front of the two armies and did not draw his weapon at all. He only raised one gauntlet to block Li Yanhe's offensive.
The bright silver spear collided with his gauntlet, and the tip of the spear passed through the outside of the gauntlet, causing countless sparks to fly.
Chu Xu's right arm gauntlet suddenly lifted up, and he actually forced himself to hold up the bright silver spear that was stabbing in front of him.
When Li Yanhe saw this, he was naturally not to be outdone. He waved the Sun Rising Flag with his other hand, and then he was about to smash it directly at the door in front of Chu Xu!
Faced with the continuous suppression of the two soldiers, Chu Xu still had no idea of unsheathing his weapon and still used his gauntlet to fight back at Li Yanhe.
Dang——dang——
In this way, the two of them tried their best and exchanged moves on Yongqiao Avenue for more than ten times, but no one had the upper hand.
But as time passed, Li Yanhe also noticed something strange...
It is still the changes in the surrounding environment and the changes in people.
Behind Chu Xu, the eyes of the Wu Yeqi became more intense, and behind him, the Nandi Qingqi who had not yet withdrawn had a look of speculation and comparison in their eyes.
An answer suddenly flashed through Li Yanhe's heart, and his face became as cold as Chu Xu's just now.
Chu Xu's face changed from before, and he showed a praising smile.
"It seems that Li Lingshi is really a smart man... But now I want to understand, isn't it a little late?"
Li Yanhe waved his spearman, and once again blocked the long fist passed by Chu Xu, and then handed out another gun, intending to hinder Chu Xu's actions.
Li Yanhe charged forward with his spear and horse, forcing Chu Xu to fight with him in front of the formation.
The reason is that Wu Yeqi is blocked in the city so that Guan Xiao can have more time to lead people to evacuate the group.
But Chu Xu readily accepted the challenge, and fought with him on Yongqiao Avenue, back and forth.
Also has a plan...
Before Chu Xu arrived at the south gate, the south gate tower and the troops stationed on both sides of Guangyang and Kaiyang had been completely suppressed by Li Yanhe and Guan Xiao.
Although the entire army is high on the city wall, its morale and morale have fallen to a low ebb.
They could only let the two armies led by Li Yanhe and Guan Xiao rush in and out, approaching the middle of the avenue, unable to fight back.
And when Chu Xu came to Chu in person, he directly ordered people to open the south city gate!
It was telling Li Yanhe and Guan Xiao that Chu Xu was here, and it was also telling all the Wuye cavalry soldiers that their commander-in-chief was here!
In this way, Wu Yeqi's first morale surge!
Then, when he and Li Yanhe were fighting in front of the battle, it was indeed deliberate not to use weapons. Only in this way could the fighting spirit of the soldiers behind him be further stimulated.
At this point, Wu Yeqi's second morale surge!
Until now, he didn't need to defeat Li Yanhe among the generals in front of the battle. He only needed to let the black night cavalry behind him come out in full force. Nan's Qingqi on the road would definitely have a narrow escape!
Li Yanhe had almost figured out Chu Xu's plans.
He would not let this situation happen no matter what, so he had to make a decision before Chu Xu gave orders!
Li Yanhe shouted loudly: "Vanguard Army! Charge with me!!!"
The three hundred Qingqi who were closest behind him heard his shouts and immediately raised their long guns and rushed towards where Li Yanhe and Chu Xu were facing each other.
Chu Xu laughed loudly: "Today...no matter what happens, you will bury your bones here!!!"
Amid his almost crazy laughter, the sound of roaring iron hoofs resounded. It was the Nandi Qingqi in the middle of the avenue, and the Wuyeqi below the city tower!
The cavalry on both sides charged forward together. The person leading Wu Yeqi was General Yongqiao, and his laughter was no weaker than Chu Xu.
"Kill all the rebels who invaded here today! Leave no one behind!"
General Yongqiao waved his long soldiers, and his whole body galloped forward, like a rainbow rushing towards the Southland cavalry.
