After being forced to retreat, the reinforcement troops from An Yuan City hurriedly marched toward An Yuan City. However, the number of soldiers kept decreasing along the way, and the cavalrymen kept sticking to the back like sticky candy, occasionally shooting arrows. The commander wanted to turn around and fight them to the death several times, but he held back in the end. He let the sword-shield soldiers bring up the rear, and the archers cooperated with them to return fire from time to time.
They had thought that they would be able to return to An Yuan City with more than 10,000 soldiers. However, when they were still seven kilometers away from An Yuan City, they passed by a bush and were surrounded by more than 30,000 well-equipped soldiers.
They had been sullen all the way, but now that they were in a life and death situation, it had triggered the Shan Yue Army's courage. The commander immediately rode out on his horse, intending to raise their morale by fighting the generals. He shouted,"Who wants to fight me?"”In the end, he ran into someone who didn't follow the rules. Four special-class generals rode their horses and surrounded him. This special-class general died in a few moves.
Although the Shan Yue army that had lost their commander had put up a fierce resistance at the beginning, it was a pity that they were outnumbered in terms of numbers and equipment. After thousands of soldiers died, the remaining 9000 soldiers surrendered.
The troops that were besieging them were naturally Li Yunyi's First, Second, Third, and Fourth Corps. After they had captured the other four towns, they had rushed directly to An Yuan City. On the way, they had received a messenger pigeon from their captain, so they had set up an ambush at a more suitable location.
After arranging for the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, Guo Qi sent a letter to Li Yunyi, asking how to deal with the captives. After receiving a reply, he ordered the captain of his personal guards to lead the cavalry to escort the disarmed Shan Yue soldiers to Linhai City, along with the bodies of the 13 people who had died in the ambush, as well as seven soldiers who were seriously injured and unable to fight anymore.
Soon after, the army set out and camped two kilometers away from An Yuan City, waiting for Li Yunyi's troops to arrive.
When the
sky was getting dark, Li Yunyi led his army and met up with Guo Qi. After a conversation and Li Yunyi's demonstration, all his subordinates excitedly agreed to Yun Xiao's suggestion.
After Li Yunyi's army was stationed, An Yuan City's scouts had already reported what they had seen to the city lord, and An Yuan City had put in place a tight defense. However, no matter how tight the defense was, there would always be loopholes when there was a shortage of manpower. After the original 50,000 elite soldiers of An Yuan City had been reinforced by 20,000 soldiers of Tulan City, the remaining soldiers in the city, excluding those who protected the officials and their families and guarded the important buildings, only had about 17000 people standing on the city walls. However, the city walls of the heavy city, which covered an area of 100 square kilometers, only had three walls, and the total length was more than 30 kilometers. Therefore, the city lord recruited a group of young and middle-aged citizens to help defend the city.
A counselor in the city suggested that the city lord send the only 100-man cavalry team to go out at night.| The City Lord had agreed to disturb Li Yunxiao's army so that they could not rest in peace. However, when the cavalrymen reached the vicinity of Linhai City's army, they saw a bonfire burning. It was very lively. They were training at night and had no intention of resting at all. The cavalrymen were naturally greeted by countless arrows. The cavalry immediately returned to the city.
The strategist thought for a moment and suggested that they go when it was a little late at night. By then, they would be tired from training and would sleep even more soundly. He also suggested that the city lord send another team with war drums, iron basins, and so on. They would beat the drums and beat the basins 300 meters away from the enemy camp. If the enemy came to chase, we would run. After a few times, we would wait until 2 or 3 in the morning before sending the cavalry cavalry to attack the camp.
It was a pity that Li Yunyi had never thought of such a plan. Even if the 10 senior strategists who followed the army were not as famous as the strategists in history, they should have been able to come up with such a plan together. Therefore, the moment the soldiers who had planned to beat the drums and gongs sounded their drums, they realized that the enemy was coming. They immediately turned around and ran. However, how could they outrun the warhorses? This 300-man team was easily killed by the personal guards who had completed their escort mission and returned to the camp.
What were Li Yunyi's troops waiting for? Naturally, he was waiting for the signal to attack the city. After dinner, Li Yunyi changed into black clothes and put on the concealment mask he had bought in Dongye County. Taking advantage of the night| He didn't ride a horse, but traveled alone with Qinggong. He quietly climbed up the Linhai mountain range and used the forest as cover to easily enter An Yuan City. An Yuan City was built on the mountain, and to the north was a cliff. It would be difficult for an ordinary person to climb over it, but Li Yunyi knew Qinggong when he slept.
Li Yunyi's goal wasn't to assassinate the enemy, but to go after the stone tablet at the core of the territory. Although An Yuan City was a first-class city, its location wasn't good. There was already Tulan City in front of it, and the basin would focus on developing Linhai City in the future. Therefore, Li Yunyi planned to abandon An Yuan City. He was a very decisive person, so he wouldn't be bothered by the fact that it would be a pity if the imperial workshop in the city was destroyed.
If he wanted to find the core stone tablet, he would have to enter the City Lord's Mansion. Li Yunyi killed a few guards and flew into the City Lord's Mansion, but he was discovered.
"How dare you, dog thief, to actually dare to come here alone to assassinate. Look at the saber." A burly man holding a duckbill saber (Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Saber was also a duckbill saber, but it was more exquisitely crafted) charged at Li Yunyi. He was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had already covered a distance of 20 meters and was already in front of Li Yunyi. He slashed down diagonally.
"King level general, just in time. Let's test out the strength of the king level in the game.”With a flip of his hand, a giant axe appeared in Li Yunyi's hand. This time, he did not choose the Dragon Scale Spear. He wanted to suppress the enemy with his own strength.
Seeing the giant axe in Li Yunxiao's hand, the burly man's eyes flashed with surprise. The two weapons clashed, and the burly man took three steps back.
"What kind of strength is this? I almost couldn't hold the saber. My arm is numb from the shock.”The burly man's mind raced and he stopped attacking. Taking advantage of the surrounding soldiers, he shouted at Li Yunyi,"Who are you?”
Not all brawny men were simple-minded. This guy wanted to recover his arm through a conversation.
Li Yunyi didn't answer. He carried the giant axe on his shoulder and looked at the soldiers surrounding him indifferently."This guy's internal energy is very ordinary. He probably can't even release his true energy. He might have advanced to the king level by brute force. His martial strength is at most 91 points. I can fight dozens of such people alone."”
"Hmph, you're playing tricks. I advise you to surrender quickly. You can't get out anymore.”The burly man waved his hand and ordered the archers to aim at Li Yunyi.
Suddenly, Li Yunyi moved in a flash. With the help of his Xiantian zhenqi, his Wandering Dragon Steps seemed to teleport. The burly man's vision blurred, and he was horrified to see the huge axe coming straight down.
