Hearing Li Rui's words, everyone was shocked. Cui Jianren asked,""If we're not the main target, then how are we?”
"This is also what I'm puzzled about," said Li Rui with a frown. Logically speaking, we are stockpiling the army's rations here, so it should be the enemy's main attack point. But why not?"
"Could it be that they've gone to attack the Zuo Wu Wei and Zuo Yi Wei?" Lu Huaji interrupted.”
The moment he said that, everyone rolled their eyes. What kind of idiot would abandon the grain guards with low combat strength and attack the most elite troops of the Great Sui Empire instead?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Li Rui's mind: This wasn't a Korean night raid, this was a mole. Just now, he was wondering how the Koreans managed to kill their way into the grain guards when the Left Tunwei was stationed outside the city and the Left Yi Wei and Left Wu Wei were stationed inside the city. It turned out that it was their own people who were playing tricks.
"I know where their real target is.”Li Rui said in a deep voice," Huo Shui, bring your men and follow me to Duke Tang's Mansion. The rest of you, guard the camp and do not leave without permission.”
The warrior immediately reacted and said in surprise,""You mean their target is the Tang Public House?”
"There's no other possibility.”Li Rui said as he jumped onto the horse's back. These few days, he had not only been drinking, but he had also been learning riding from Qian Shixiong. There was a Double EXP Card for sale in the system store. After Li Rui used the EXP Card, he learned twice the result with half the effort and improved rapidly. Moreover, when he used the experience card to learn horsemanship, there was also an unexpected gain. That was, the R D experience was also increasing. Although it was not much, it was still a pleasant surprise given how rare R D experience was.
Small groups of men in black were constantly setting fires on the streets. The reinforcements sent by the Left Yi Guards and the Left Wu Guards and the arsonists were fighting in the dark. The sounds of knives and spears colliding and shouting filled the air.
Li Rui did not have time to pay attention to these disturbances. He led fifty cavalrymen straight to the Tang Public House. The number of 'enemies' would not be too many. At this time, it was not the number of soldiers, but the quality.
"There seems to be someone blocking the way ahead!" The warrior shouted at Li Rui from the back of his horse. Fifty steps ahead, more than twenty people in the military uniform of the Left Guard blocked the road.
"No matter who it is, those who block the way will die!" Li Rui shouted in a low voice.
An officer of the Left Yi Guard dressed in the uniform of a lieutenant shouted at Li Rui and the others,"Someone took advantage of the chaos to set fire to the street. Trespassers, kill without mercy!"
"Li Rui of the grain guard is here. Those who block the way will die!”Li Rui shouted, drew his saber out of its sheath, and rode his horse over.
The samurai shook their reins and followed, shouting at the same time,""Those who block the way will die!"
"Ah!" The Left Yi Guard lieutenant was so frightened that he hugged his head and rolled to the side of the road. Infantry was no match for cavalry, not to mention that they were outnumbered.
Since the commander had already moved aside, the rest of the Left Yiwei soldiers would not just stand there and wait.
"I'm not done with you!" The livid lieutenant crawled up from the ground and shouted at the back of the cavalry.
The grain camp was not far from Li Yuan's residence. It would only take a few minutes for the cavalry to rush over. In order to enter the battle as soon as he arrived at the scene, Li Rui formed an attack formation with fifty cavalry according to the cavalry formation in the War God System.
Li Yuan's residence had been burned into a sea of fire. Hundreds of men in black surrounded the walls of the manor, climbing while throwing torches inside. From time to time, someone would poke their head out from the walls of the manor and sweep the black-clothed man who was halfway up the mountain down with a steel knife. In the blink of an eye, other men in black stepped on the bodies of their companions and climbed up the walls.
"Draw your saber!" Li Rui shouted. The fifty cavalrymen drew their sabers at the same time, their blades gleaming in the fire.
"Charge! Leave no survivors!" Li Rui shouted and took the lead to rush forward. Wu Shi Hui led 50 soldiers to quickly catch up and charged at the man in black like a whirlwind.
The men in black who had attacked the Tang Public House did not expect that reinforcements would suddenly arrive behind them. They heard the sound of horse hooves and quickly turned back, but it was already too late to organize a complete defensive formation. The fifty cavalrymen instantly rushed forward, and they raised their sabers to clear a path of blood under the wall.
One of the men in black didn't even have time to raise his knife before his neck was cut off by Li Rui. The second black-clothed man who was blocking the warhorse was directly hit by his warhorse, and his bones were broken. The third man wanted to cut his leg from the side, but he was directly cut open by him with a horizontal knife.
The grain guards following behind Li Rui were originally a little nervous, but seeing their regiment commander being so ruthless, their killing intent was also aroused. Stepping on the enemy's blood, they rushed through the gap outside the manor wall, making it bigger and bigger.
The men in black had no choice but to give up on attacking the Tang Duke's Mansion and concentrate on dealing with the sudden attack. Under the chiding of their leader, dozens of men in black quickly lined up in a saber formation in an attempt to block Li Rui.
"Those who block me will die!" Li Rui roared. He quickly sheathed his saber and took out his bow with his left hand. Then, he fired three arrows in a row.
"Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!" The three men in black in front of him were all shot in the head, and a gap immediately appeared in the saber formation. Without hesitation, the warrior led the cavalry and squeezed through the gap. The sound of horse hooves rolled like thunder, smashing the saber array into pieces like boiling soup splashing snow. Infantry without shields and lances would be killed if they encountered cavalrymen on flat ground.
The leader of the men in black was not willing to let the cooked duck fly away like this. He roared and forced his subordinates to form a formation again. He had just gathered a dozen defeated soldiers when an arrow suddenly flew over and hit him in the head.
"Ah!" The leader screamed and fell to the ground. Li Rui put away his bow and drew his saber. He rode his horse forward and killed the surrounding men in black. He cut off the head of the leader with one slash and held his hair up high. He shouted,"Those who block me will die!"
"Those who block me will die!" The guards shouted in unison. They were so excited that their faces turned red and they shouted themselves hoarse. They had never been as awe-inspiring as they were today.
