"Something's wrong, why are there so many people?"
As more and more cavalry came to the city, Liu Chun noticed that the number of cavalry under the city was far less than the 500 cavalry sent out.
The people below the city didn't even have a fraction of the cavalry sent out.
"Maybe in the back! And the bandit army is not that easy to deal with. Some casualties are inevitable." Wu Zimian said next to him.
Liu Chun said distressedly: "There were too many casualties."
Of the five hundred cavalry sent to the city, the vast majority were from the Yulin Guards. The fewer people who came back, the more casualties there would be among the Yulin Guards.
The cavalry under the city began to call the door, wanting to enter the city.
"General Manager Zeng, go and open the city gate and let people outside the city enter." Wu Zimian ordered the guard of Zhenyuan Gate.
The guard of Zhenyuan Gate agreed, turned around and led the people to open the city gate.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, there was a sound of horse hooves outside the city, and even the people standing on the city wall felt the blue bricks under their feet shaking.
"Is this someone else coming back?" Liu Chun looked hesitantly at the dark place outside the city.
The sound of a large number of horse hooves came from that direction.
Wu Zimian smiled and said: "Just now you were worried that there were too many casualties among the people sent out. Look, not all of them have returned."
"Really our cavalry?" Li Kaiyang leaned out of the city wall and felt something was wrong.
Wu Zimian smiled and said: "If they are not our cavalry, are they still cavalry in the bandit army?"
As he spoke, he laughed a few times to himself.
"No, don't open the city gate. It's the cavalry that's coming." Liu Chun noticed that the cavalry waiting in front of the city gate suddenly ran away on horseback along both sides of the city wall, and he immediately realized something was wrong.
"Don't be ridiculous. The bandit camp has already been in chaos because of our sneak attack. How could they come to the city?" Wu Zimian waved his hand disapprovingly.
In his opinion, the attack on the camp was very successful, and there was no chance of any thieves chasing him.
"It's really a thief." Li Kaiyang said suddenly.
Wu Zimian paused when he heard this. Seeing that even Li Kaiyang said this, his expression became serious and he hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from.
At this look, the whole person was suddenly stunned.
In the originally dark place, cavalry came out and appeared in front of the city gate.
Although they couldn't see their appearance clearly, it was easy to tell from their armor that the cavalry who came to the city this time were not the cavalry sent from Yulin City.
"Hurry up and chase the people back, and tell them not to open the city gate. The people in front of the city gate are all thieves." Wu Zimian remembered the Zhenyuan Gate guard he sent to open the city gate, and hurriedly sent people to chase the people back.
Some soldiers chased in the direction where the Zhenyuan Gate guard left.
"It seems that the attack on the camp failed." Liu Chun said with an ugly face.
Wu Zimian tightly grasped the green bricks beside the crenel with his palms, and the fingers that dug into the bricks turned white because of too much force.
"As long as the city gate is not opened, the thieves outside the city will not be able to enter." Li Kaiyang said from the side.
At this moment, he was in a good mood.
However, in order to prevent being discovered, he tried his best to endure his joy and tried to make himself look as disappointed as the other two people around him.
"Obviously the cavalry we sent to attack the camp has already entered the rebel camp, how could it fail!" Liu Chun depressedly slapped his hands on the blue bricks at the crenel.
The fire in the direction of the bandit camp could not be dealt with, and he could not understand how the situation could suddenly reverse.
At this time, the guard of Zhenyuan Gate ran back.
"The city gate is not open, right?" Wu Zimian asked hurriedly when he saw him coming back.
The guard of Zhenyuan Gate said: "To report to the general, when the general was about to open the city gate, he found a large number of strange cavalry gathered outside the city gate, so he did not dare to open the city gate."
"It's okay if you don't open the city gate. Those who come from outside the city are thief cavalry. If you really open the city gate and let the robber cavalry into the city, I and you will both offend the court." Wu Zimian heard that the city gate was closed. Opening it, I felt relieved.
As long as the city gate is not opened, the cavalry outside the city cannot enter the city at all.
"Shoot arrows down the city, don't let these thieves block the city gate." Liu Chun ordered the guard of Zhenyuan Gate.
The Zhenyuan gatekeeper looked up at Wu Zimian.
Wu Zimian said: "As General Liu said, let the archers on the city wall shoot arrows to kill the thieves outside the city."
"Yes." The guard at Zhenyuan Gate turned and ran away.
The sound of bowstrings was soon heard on the city wall.
However, the cavalry outside the city saw that they could not enter the city, so they did not block in front of the city gate at all, and soon disappeared from the outside of Yulin City into the vast night.
"It's a pity that our people failed to enter the city. Otherwise, we could have asked clearly what was going on. Why did they fail if they had not already entered the bandit camp?" Liu Chun said bitterly.
"Why don't we take a look at Guangyu Gate? Maybe our cavalry will enter the city from Guangyu Gate in the north." Li Kaiyang suggested from the side.
He also wanted to know what these cavalry encountered outside the city.
"Just send the people below." Wu Zimian said, "You two have worked hard all night. Come with me and go back to the General Military Mansion to rest. When they enter the city, take them directly to the General Military Mansion."
After staying up for such a long night, the two of them did feel a little tired.
You Qi failed to attack the camp, the energy in his heart faded, and he became tired, so no one objected and returned to the General Military Mansion with Wu Zimian.
The three people returned to the General Military Mansion and waited for a while, but did not wait until the cavalry who went to attack the camp outside the city came back. The servants of the General Military Mansion who were sent to several city gates to check the situation came back with the news that no one had entered the city.
Several experienced people could naturally guess that the reason why no one came back was probably because they were chased by the bandit cavalry and did not dare to return to Yulin City.
After struggling all night, it was almost dawn outside, so Li Kaiyang and Liu Chun stayed at the General Military Mansion.
Two people stayed in two adjacent rooms.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Li Kaiyang, who was sleeping soundly, was alerted by a knock on the door outside.
He opened his eyes and said to the person knocking on the door in a daze, "What's the matter?"
"The bandit army is attacking the city. My master invites General Li to go to the hall to discuss matters." The person outside the door said outside.
Li Kaiyang was excited when he heard this, and the sleepiness on his body subsided.
He put on his clothes in a hurry and walked out of the room without even bothering to wash his face.
It happened that Liu Chun also walked out of the room.
"Please also ask the two generals to follow the younger ones to the hall as soon as possible." The servants of the General Military Mansion who were guarding the corridor outside the door saw the two people coming out of the house and hurriedly asked them to go to the hall to see Wu Zimian.
The servant walked in front and led the way, followed by Li Kaiyang and Liu Chun.
"The leader of the bandit army really didn't leave any time for us. Such a big thing happened at night, but he actually started attacking the city so early in the day." Liu Chun complained as he walked away.
