Long Yan.
Spring is supposed to be the season of recovery for all things. Farmers are busy with farm work in the fields, and merchants travel north and south to open up a new atmosphere. However, this spring of Dayu was even more bleak and desolate than autumn.
The spring breeze wraps my face with the fragrance of flowers, children and people on the roadside are even busier, paper kites fly around the sun, and Mobei Iron Riders move in all directions.
Under the moonlit night, the soldiers on the tower stood ready, their bodies upright and tense at all times, waiting for the flames of war that might burn out at any time.
"Brothers, cheer up."
"These bastards will never be so peaceful. Be careful of night attacks."
"promise!"
A school captain inspected the city wall. The atmosphere on the city tower no longer became so tense and depressing. Three or five old soldiers also started chatting without a word.
"Uh-huh!"
It seemed like a strong wind was whistling past. Several soldiers raised their heads and their expressions immediately changed: "The enemy is attacking!"
"Master!"
"Hurry and report to the general. There are more than ten people in black clothes passing by the tower."
I saw more than ten figures, like flying over eaves and walking over walls. Their figures swept several feet away. In just a few breaths, they completely disappeared under the night.
"what happened?"
Niu Gao walked up to the tower with long strides and immediately asked about the situation. His expression changed slightly: "Send someone quickly to inform Commander Yue to protect the food and grass in the city."
"promise!"
Figures rushed down the city tower quickly. Niu Gao glanced at the camp outside the city. He felt very uneasy in his heart. He seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He raised his head and looked at the captain beside him: "Quick, send someone quickly." Form a team of soldiers and horses to protect the crossbows and catapults!"
"Report!"
"General, it's bad, a team of black men sneaked in and destroyed our bed crossbow."
"Damn it!"
Niu Gao clenched his fists tightly, veins popped up on his arms, and stretched out his arm armor. He looked coldly at the night and shouted: "Send out scouts to closely monitor the movements of the Mobei camp."
"As you command!"
…
City of King Yu.
The flames of war have reached the city gate. Under the fierce attack of more than 100,000 Mobei cavalry, this imperial city that has been peaceful for more than a hundred years seems to be inevitably ravaged in this era.
South city gate.
The three thousand Forbidden Army stared wide-eyed, looking at the sudden attack of an iron cavalry, and three figures walked up the tower. They sighed with regret: "As expected, the south gate is the weakest, and this is the breakthrough point in Mobei."
"Second Master is really good at predicting things."
"Then let's..."
Zhao Huaiyuan looked at Liu Yuan and Su Chi who were standing aside. The three of them looked at each other and were about to take action when the south city gate suddenly opened. Eighteen figures in black robes rode out at the same time, shooting arrows one after another. The roar accurately hit the eighteen figures rushing forward.
"Eighteen riders of Yanyun!"
"Hiss, it turned out to be the Eighteenth Cavalry of Yanyun. I didn't expect them to be still in the capital."
"The momentum of the charge is forward but never retreat!"
"The ambition to be trapped in a battle will lead to death but not life!"
Following a loud shout, another group of armored soldiers rushed out of the city gate and lined up under the city tower. Looking at this scene, not only the expressions of the imperial guards on the city tower were stagnant, but also the soldiers who were preparing to attack. The Mobei cavalry at the gate of the city couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Three thousand soldiers and horses?"
"Could it be that Dayu is crazy? Hahaha, he dares to go out of the city to meet the enemy."
"Send a thousand-man cavalry to clear the obstacles under the city tower first."
Gagaximu waved his hand and immediately rushed out of a thousand-man cavalry team. He raised the scimitar in his hand and roared towards the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry who were charging forward. However, before they could charge forward, arrows flew past one after another. , Mobei's cavalry fell off their horses one after another.
In just one encounter, nearly a hundred Mobei cavalry were pierced by arrows in the throat.
"Damn it!"
"Surround them."
"A mere dozen cavalrymen dare to face our Mobei cavalrymen alone. Let's tear them into pieces and get extra food tomorrow!"
The captain of Mobei seemed to be aroused with anger. He raised the bow and arrow on his horse and pointed it at a Yanyun Eighteen Rider. As the arrow whistled, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"You are still too young to compete in riding and shooting with me, a man from the desert..."
Before he finished speaking, an arrow pierced his throat, and the captain fell off his horse with a dull look on his face. Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry were like a strong wind, and in an instant, they had rushed to the front of their formation.
"kill!"
A mediocre scimitar, but in the hands of Yan Yun's Eighteen Riders, it was sharper than a spear. The cold light flashed, the blood surged, the war horses neighed, and the heads fell to the ground.
As I said before, broken arms and limbs, just a meeting, will inevitably lead to life and death.
However, so far, Yanyun's eighteen riders have not suffered a defeat or lost a single person!
"We can't wait any longer, soldiers. There are only three thousand defenders at the south gate. Rush up and tear them apart. I will allow you to revel for three days."
"kill!"
Looking at the fierce dozen or so cavalry, Zhan Mul's heart became more and more uneasy. He immediately gave an order and the thirty thousand cavalry roared straight towards the city tower.
"Fall into camp and form a formation!"
Gao Shu raised the broad sword in his hand, and the three thousand soldiers behind him formed an array, standing like a majestic mountain in front of the city gate. The thick iron armor rustled and made crisp sounds.
"Kill!"
Zhan Mu'er personally led the army to attack the city. A group of cavalry passed directly over Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry and rushed towards the trapped camp in front of the city gate. The galloping war horses hit the shield wall with a roar, and the horses under their crotches There was a roar, and spears pierced out from the gaps in the battle formation.
"ah!"
"Pfft!"
"Oh woo!"
Screams rang out, and a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood instantly formed before they fell into the camp. Thousands of cavalry charged up, but they failed to break through their shield formation. A mere three thousand people were stunned and erected a copper wall in front of the city gate.
"Trapped in camp, attack!"
Gao Shun raised his broad sword and stood in the middle of the formation. With an order, the three thousand soldiers instantly changed into formation. The shield soldiers were in front, the spear soldiers followed closely behind, and the soldiers holding heavy swords guarded on both sides, brazenly facing Mobei's army. The cavalry launched a countercharge!
"hiss!"
"The trapped camp lives up to its name."
"A mere three thousand people can defeat the thirty thousand army in Mobei... We, ourselves, are ashamed of ourselves!"
The three thousand forbidden troops on the city tower all showed a look of shame. They were trapped in one camp, one against ten. They were defending the city, but they couldn't even stop a charge from them.
"Look...that's..."
Just as everyone was sighing, they saw thousands of torches lighting up in the distance, approaching the city gate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"The cavalry...is the cavalry!"
"Hurry and report to the commander. Unidentified cavalry are quickly heading towards the imperial city."
"Wait!"
Zhao Huaiyuan's face condensed and he shouted: "Soldiers, His Royal Highness King Yong's reinforcements have arrived, follow us and fight out together!"
"Open the city gate and follow me to kill!"
"Liu Yuan is here, follow me to kill the enemy!"
"Open the city gate!"
