Dongyan City.
Rongcheng Hou Mansion.
Yanque frowned, looked at the generals in front of him, and asked solemnly: "Have all the scouts sent out come back?"
"Master Hou, he has not returned yet."
"Pass the order, strengthen vigilance on the city tower, and send out cavalry battalions to patrol the city."
"Closely monitor the movements in the direction of Xuanjian Pass!"
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
After the three generals left, Yan Que's frown deepened. Now all the eyes of the court were focused on Dali, but he did not dare to slack off at all.
Some time ago, Dali's raid caused heavy losses to the guards under his command.
After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that it was actually done by Dayu's generals.
Today, all patrols and scouts in the direction of Xuanjian Pass lost contact, and he smelled an unusual aura.
"Someone is coming!"
"Master Hou!"
"Bring me my armor, and I will go to the tower in person to inspect it!"
"promise!"
After a while, Yan Que put on his armor, held a weapon, and led several of his followers toward the east city gate.
Dongyan City is not only a military town, but also a trade center in the eastern part of Dayan. There are many merchants coming and going on weekdays, and fur and textiles are also relatively developed. It is an important city in the east.
Therefore, the city's population is more than half a million.
"Master Marquis, you can just ask the general to patrol for you. Why go there in person?"
"These are troubled times, and Dongyan City is the gateway to the eastern part of our Dayan. There is no room for any sloppiness."
"Could it be that Dayu still dares to step out of the Hanging Sword Pass?"
The general next to Yan Que showed a hint of disdain, and Yan Que also shook his head: "Although I don't believe that Dayu's soldiers dare to attack Dayu, I am very uneasy in my heart."
"At dusk, news came from the Yanlong Guard that Hu Nu's 800,000 cavalry were killed in the northern border of Dayu."
"What!"
Hearing Yan Que's words, the surrounding generals all looked shocked.
Hu Nu was actually defeated?
Or 800,000 cavalry?
You know, Da Yan and Hu Nu have been fighting for many years, and they have never achieved such an amazing result!
"This...how is this possible?"
"Master Hou, could it be that Yan Longwei made a mistake?"
"The news came from Nai Ying herself."
"hiss!"
Everyone no longer doubted that Naiying was a legendary figure to them. The leader of the twelve guards of the Yanlong Guard was one of the most powerful figures in the Yanlong Guard!
The group of people came to the city wall of the east city tower. It was already early autumn, and there was already a little more coolness on the city tower. The torches swayed in the wind, making subtle crisp sounds from time to time.
"Master Marquis is here."
"See you Lord Marquis!"
"Master Hou, why are you here in person?"
The generals guarding the city saw Yanque's figure and quickly stepped forward to salute.
"Today, several teams of rangers from our scout battalion have not returned, and the scouts sent out have not been found yet. I am a little worried, so I came to take a look."
"The Marquis suspects... that Dayu took action against our rangers?"
"I don't know!"
Yan Que let out a long sigh of relief and said sadly: "The great times are coming, and the situation in the world will be chaotic!"
"Master Marquis, the general will be on guard now."
"Um!"
Yanque nodded with a smile, and looked at the soldiers around him who were full of energy, strong and strong, and felt a little more at ease in his heart.
"Master Hou!"
"Oh no!"
An urgent cry rang out, and Yan Que frowned slightly and looked at the person: "What's going on? You're so panicked?"
"Master Hou, little Master Hou..."
"What happened to Tao'er?"
"The young Marquis was killed in Cuihua Garden."
boom!
A strong aura swept over Yan Que, and the temperature around him seemed to drop a bit. He suppressed his anger and said, "Who dares to kill my son?"
"Master Hou, calm down!"
"The general has ordered people to seal off Cuihua Garden. Please forgive me!"
"lead the way!"
Yanque left with a gloomy face. After taking a few steps, he turned back to look at the dark night, with a hint of depth in his eyes: "What a coincidence, why did something happen to Tao'er at this time?"
"Dong Chen!"
"The general is here!"
"If my prediction is correct, Dayu must have a plan, and your east city gate will bear the brunt. I will hand over the east city to you. If there is any loss to the east city, I will kill you without mercy!"
"promise!"
The guard at the East City Gate saluted respectfully, watched Yanque go away, and murmured: "Master Marquis, I am... I am so sorry for you!"
…
"Shuai Bai!"
"The city ahead is Dongyan City. Now we are only three miles away from it. If we continue to march, it may be difficult to conceal our whereabouts."
"Um!"
Bai Qi stood still, with an extra telescope in his hand, and looked in the direction of the city tower. However, the sky was too dark. The telescope Ning Fan exchanged did not have night vision function, and he could only barely see some figures on the city tower.
"The Xuanjia Army and the White Robe Army are on standby again to restrain their horses. When the main force begins to attack the city, they will immediately rush to the west of Dongyan City and set up an ambush outside the city!"
"promise!"
"The rest of the army, continue to sneak!"
"Are the siege engines ready?"
"Ready!"
"Pass my order, the Modao Army and the Beggar Army will attack the north and south gates directly!"
"promise!"
Dian Wei, Yang Zaixing, Ran Min and Lan Yu strode forward and performed a military salute with solemn expressions.
"Begging Army, follow me and charge!"
"Mo Daojun, go into battle!"
The 100,000-strong army instantly divided into two groups, one heading northwest and the other heading southeast, marching at full speed.
Bai Qi slowly raised the long sword in his hand and said softly: "Old soldier of Great Qin, follow me to attack the city!"
"Kill!"
Shocking shouts of killing suddenly rang out from outside Dongyan City. On the city tower, Dong Chen had a stern look on his face and shouted: "Soldiers, the enemy is attacking!"
"Open the city gate quickly and follow me to fight out!"
"General, the number of enemy troops is unknown. It is not appropriate for our troops to leave without permission!"
"presumptuous!"
Dong Chen's face showed a bit of anger, and he said in a deep voice: "If you disobey orders and show no respect, you should be killed!"
"Go quickly!"
"yes……"
The city gate under the city tower was opened with a bang, and a group of guardsmen who had been prepared for a long time, led by Dong Chen, rushed directly towards the army outside the city.
Bai Qi was stunned for a moment when he saw Yan's army suddenly charging out of the city, and then smiled slightly: "Qin Ruishi, form your formation!"
"ha!"
With a low shout, the shield hit the ground and the spear was raised.
"Archer, let go!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
There was a sound of bow strings crashing, and arrows all over the sky were shot towards the rushing guards. Dong Chen's face showed a touch of pain, looking at the soldiers around him who were working hard, and whispered in a low voice: "Brothers, I'm sorry. !”
"I, Dong Chen, am ashamed of Da Yan, I am ashamed of the Marquis, and I am ashamed of my brothers!"
"rush!"
Bai Qi held the Killing God Sword, looked at the enemy troops pouring out in front of him, and shouted: "Attack the city!"
"ha!"
"ha!"
"ha!"
One hundred thousand old Qin soldiers pressed forward in front of the army, condensing an astonishing evil spirit, like a horizontally moving mountain, constantly approaching Dongyan City.
