After a night and a day of rapid marching, Li Xiu 'er had finally arrived at Youzhou City with Li Ke, Yuchi Gong, Yuwen Shiji, Hou Junji, and two thousand black-armored cavalry.
Ever since King Wu of Zhou established the Zhou Dynasty and implemented the enfeoffment system, Youzhou was the capital of Yanyun Region.
First, it was the capital of Yan Country, then it was occupied by Yuan Shao. After seven or eight hundred years, it would become the prosperous land of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di.
The bitter cold in the north was vividly reflected in Youzhou.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived, Youzhou Province had been covered with a bone-piercing cold wind.
In a few days, it would probably snow.
"King Heluo, we have news from the relay station on the road. After Luo Yi sent his army to conquer Mo Province, he became arrogant and complacent. He began to indulge his troops in burning, killing, and looting. The people of Youzhou, Mo Province, and Bingzhou were suffering and complaining. Our surprise attack on Luo Yi this time will definitely gain the support of the local people!" Yuwen Shiji cupped his fists.
This brother was the famous, uh, infamous younger brother of the traitor of the late Sui Dynasty, Yuwen Huaji, one of the sons-in-law of the Sui Dynasty.
However, he was smart enough not to follow Yuwen Huaji and cause trouble. Instead, he followed Li Yuan and Li Shimin and made great contributions.
Two months ago, he had participated in the Black Tortoise Sect's rebellion and risked his life for Li Shiming. Naturally, he was one of the important officials of the early Tang Dynasty.
"Luo Yi old fogey, the older you get, the more muddleheaded you become! He was dreaming of becoming an emperor, but he was afraid that his soldiers would not work hard, so he used such a method to increase their loyalty and combat effectiveness! Unfortunately, he didn't know that water could carry a boat, but it could also capsize it! Soldiers were chosen from the common people. If they were to harm the common people, would the common people be able to tolerate it? Would most of the soldiers be able to tolerate it? Even if we didn't come, he wouldn't be far from his death! Tonight, we'll kick him hard and kick him into the coffin!”Li Xiu 'er said.
Yuchi Gong, Hou Junji, and Yuwen Shiji all shouted in unison,"King Heluo is wise!"
Before they came, they had thought that this thirteen-year-old eldest son of the royal family did not know much and needed to be taught well.
However, who knew that the great truth behind his words was something that ordinary people would not be able to understand unless they had been a high official for decades.
Li Ke looked at Li Xiu 'er and couldn't help but feel admiration.
Oh my god, if I can't control it, then forget it!
Let nature take its course!
Li Ke smiled bitterly.
He had only spent two days with Li Xiu 'er, but he was gradually convinced by her powerful charm.
The initial unhappiness slowly faded.
Li Ke used to admire Li Shiming, but now he was starting to admire Li Xiu 'er, who was only a few years older than him.
After a brief rest, Li Xiu 'er led the cavalry to the foot of the city wall of Youzhou.
Dozens of soldiers were patrolling on the tall walls of Youzhou City. When they felt the cold wind, they all quivered.
"Damn it, it's getting colder and colder!”
"I'm working overtime tonight. I wonder if my wife went out to look for Old Wang next door again? I'm so worried!"
"If the imperial court's army were to arrive, it would probably take at least half a month! I don't know what the Prince of Yan is afraid of, forcing us to work overtime…"
They mumbled as they curled up their bodies, not looking down carefully at all.
On the flat ground twenty meters below, outside Tough City, two thousand black-armored cavalrymen with branches in their mouths, hooves wrapped in soft cloth, and grass roots in their mouths silently crept over.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Li Xiu 'er, Yuchi Gong, Yuwen Shiji, and Hou Junji were the first to draw their bows and shoot, followed by the black-armored cavalry.
Pu pu!
Dozens of unlucky guards on the city wall were instantly shot and fell to the ground. They vomited blood and died with grievances.
"This is what happens when you don't pay attention on duty!" Li Xiu 'er chuckled. She held a hook in each hand and hooked it to the wall while climbing up. Her speed was neither fast nor slow.
Yuchi Gong, Hou Junji, Yuwen Shiji, and the black-armored cavalry did the same, climbing up with Li Xiu 'er.
This action was too cool!
Li Ke also wanted to learn, but he was too weak to hang it up.
Li Xiu 'er waved her hand, signaling him to wait outside.
After a while, Li Xiu 'er, three generals, and many black-armored cavalrymen climbed up the city wall.
When the defenders discovered them, they would wave their weapons and kill them without a word. After a fierce battle, they would all be killed.
The commotion here was not small. After the surrounding garrison heard it, they rushed over to verify it.
Time was of the essence, so Li Xiu 'er led everyone to run down and open the heavy steel gate to meet Li Ke and the black-armored cavalry outside.
"Brothers, charge straight for the King Yan Residence and capture Luo Yi alive!"Kill!" Li Xiu 'er took the lead and shouted.
"Kill, kill, kill! Capture Luo Yi alive!" The soldiers shouted in unison, their fighting spirit soaring into the sky.
Rumble! Rumble!
The black-armored cavalry were completely freed, and they followed Li Xiu 'er, Li Ke, Yuchi Gong, Yuwen Shiji, and Hou Junji as they charged in.
The sounds of killing in Youzhou City were deafening.
Luo Yi's Heaven Festival Army and local army were caught off guard and were quickly killed by the ferocious black armored cavalry. Blood flowed like a river.
The Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun had been sent out by Luo Yi to carry out a mission and had not returned yet.
Li Xiu 'er led the soldiers into the King Yan Residence.
Luo Yi was still sleeping when he heard the battle cries coming from outside. He turned pale with fright and immediately gathered a group of trusted subordinates to run away.
As for his wife, son, and daughter, he could only abandon them!
However, Luo Yi had been a local emperor for ten to twenty years after all. He also had very strong martial strength. After a period of panic, the Heaven Festival Army and the local army saw him and gathered over like ants.
Luo Yi quickly gathered an army of tens of thousands!
After discovering that there were only about 2,000 enemy soldiers, he sneered and mounted his horse with a lance in his hand. He led the main force to meet them.
Seeing Luo Yi come back unscathed, followed by a large group of elite troops, Li Xiu Er's eyebrows jumped.
It was too hasty!
Serenity Plains was Luo Yi's base camp. He had been operating here for many years, and indeed had some skills!
"King Heluo, the situation is not good! If the chaotic battle starts later, the three of us will do our best to protect you and King Wu!" Yuchi Gong rode to Li Xiu 'er's side and said in a deep voice.
As for the two thousand black armored cavalry, he could only give up!
When the black-armored cavalry heard this, not only did they not show any dissatisfaction or sadness, their eyes were bloodshot and their fighting spirit grew even stronger.
Such a super elite cavalry unit was not a death warrior, but more than a death warrior!
They were all Kingdom Scholars who could sacrifice themselves to repay the Lord's kindness at any time!
"Uncle Yuchi, you are wrong. We will not lose, we will only win! As for the black-armored cavalry, they are all meritorious soldiers of the Great Tang Empire. Even if I have to give up on myself, I will not give up on any of them!" Li Xiu 'er flatly refused.
Then, ignoring the astonished looks of Yuchi Gong, Hou Junji, and Yuwen Shiji, and the blood boiling and tears welling up in the eyes of the two thousand black-armored cavalry, Li Xiu 'er rode her Ferghana Horse to the front of the two armies. Raising her sword high, she shouted,"Old Luo Yi, do you dare to come out and fight me to the death? I am the eldest son of the Tang Empire, King Heluo, who has just turned thirteen this year! If you're afraid of a teenager like me and don't dare to fight alone, then forget it!”
