Qingyu City is on the official road under Qingya Mountain.

In front of Lu Jiuyuan stood Li Ru, Zhang Liao, Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry, Hala Shao, and Gai Nie next to him, surrounded by either the summoned city defense army, or the Jinyi Guard, or the barbarian army tribe brought by Hala Shao.

"Please give the order of the prince, I am willing to lead my clan to attack Qingyu City." Hara was the first to come out and speak.

"Lord Wang, Zhang Liao is willing to go." Zhang Liao must also be willing to go to the battlefield.

"Lord Wang, it's not too early."

Only Li Ru said differently, and it is true, he is a strategist who is good at giving advice, not as belligerent as Zhang Liao, while Hara Shao wants to establish the status of the barbarians.

Whew!

Lu Jiuyuan looked up at the sky, and then at the north gate of the huge Qingyu City, he finally returned to this place for six years.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Qingyu City is the last line of defense of the Jade King, and it is also the most difficult line of defense to take."

"Generals obey orders!"

As Lu Jiuyuan's generals obeyed the order, Li Ru, Zhang Liao, Hara Shao and others became serious.

"Order Zhang Liao to lead 6,500 city defense troops to attack the north gate."

"Ling Hara Shao led the barbarian army to attack the east gate."

"Order Li Ru to lead 3,500 city defense troops to attack the West Gate."

"As for the south gate, it will be handed over to this king and Yan Yun Eighteen Horsemen."

"Tell this king if he has the confidence to take Qingyu City within ten days."

Lu Jiuyuan had already thought about it before arranging it like this, he originally wanted to have another general, so that Li Ru would not have to lead troops to attack the West Gate, and there were special generals at the West Gate, and Li Ru could defend the four city gates.

The 10,000 city defense troops brought from Beijun had already arrived, and for the sake of insurance, he still decided to let all the city defense troops participate in the war, but the north gate was the most heavily defended place, so Zhang Liao was asked to take 6,500 city defense troops to attack the north gate, and the west gate was the weakest place.

The rest of the South Gate was attacked by him personally with Yanyun's eighteen cavalry, to be honest, it was basically impossible for eighteen people to attack the South Gate, even if the strength of Yanyun's eighteen horsemen was innate fivefold, it was still impossible, and it may even be inferior to Li Ru who attacked the West Gate, at most he only took Yanyun's eighteen horsemen to attract the attention of Qingyu City, after all, he was the core of this battle, if he had an accident, this battle would end soon.

"Guaranteed to get the job done."

After saying that, except for Li Ru, they each took their own soldiers and horses towards Qingyu City, the army of more than 30,000 people went towards Qingyu City, the 6,500 city defense army led by Zhang Liao went directly to the north gate, and Hara Shao needed to take 25,000 troops around for a while, but it didn't take long.

"Lord Wang, give me the south gate!" Li Ru said suddenly.

Although Li Ru knew that the 3,500 city defense army was not enough to shake the south gate, it was safer for Lu Jiuyuan to attack the south gate, there was no official road outside the west gate, there was no road to walk, and the defenders in the city would not go out of the city to face the battle.

"Wen You, the south gate will be handed over to this king to attack, so as to attract the attention of the Jade King, so that Wen Yuan and the leader of Hala can take the north gate and the east gate in a short time, and this weather is not very good, it is June now, it may rain at any time, we can't wait so long."

Lu Jiuyuan naturally understood what Li Ru meant and Li Ru's worries, but he couldn't afford to wait for such a long time, not because he was unwilling, but because the soldiers and horses under his command couldn't afford to wait, and a long battle was enough to make them very tired, not to mention that the 25,000 barbarian army brought by Hala Shao was an ordinary person, and his physique was slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.

"Wenyou, Ximen will be controlled by you." Lu Jiuyuan said, "By the way, don't use the Jinyi Guard until the critical moment." ”

"Yes, lord."

Li Ru also knew what Lu Jiuyuan was talking about, how could 30,000 soldiers and horses stay outside Qingyu City forever, and once it rained, it would be unfavorable to them, but he was not Lu Jiuyuan after all, so he could only obey Lu Jiuyuan's arrangement.

Looking at Li Ru who was leaving, Lu Jiuyuan looked at Yan Yun's eighteen horses, and the south gate would be their home field next.

"Get on the horse."

"Yes."

In this way, plus a total of twenty people from Gai Nie rode towards the north gate of Qingyu City, they had to bypass the east gate from the north gate, and then go to the south gate, which would take a lot of time, and Qingyu City, as the imperial capital of the Qingyu Dynasty, must be not small, even if they rode a fast horse, it would take at least half a day.

When Lu Jiuyuan's siege order was issued, everyone in the Taihe Hall in Qingyu City was nervous, and even more so, there were no ministers who came to the court.

Today's Taihe Hall is whispering, and no one looks at the Jade King on the dragon chair at all, as if the Jade King is an irrelevant person, in addition to Guo Jia, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is not in the Taihe Palace, Guo Jia has other things to do.

Report!

"There are no less than 5,000 enemy troops at the north gate."

The entire Taihe Hall suddenly became quiet, because in their opinion, it was a bit of a joke, the five thousand enemy troops wanted to attack Qingyu City, was it too underestimated to underestimate the thirty thousand Janissaries in Qingyu City, and the fundamental reason was that they did not know that the five thousand enemy troops were all innate martial artists.

"Have you found out if they are warriors?"

The Jade King was also strange, and he didn't believe that Lu Jiuyuan would really only send more than 5,000 people to attack the North Gate, and then the truth was the same.

"Your Majesty, the five thousand enemy troops are all innate martial artists."

Wow!

The ministers were in an uproar, they were all ministers who could participate in the court meeting in the Taihe Palace, and they still had a concept of warriors, they knew that except for some warriors in the Praetorian Guard, there were almost no warriors in the other armies, and there were not necessarily many innate warriors, and it would be difficult to deal with five thousand innate warriors.

"What do you think?" The Jade King frowned and asked, and did not ask about the messenger who delivered the news, and hung it directly on the Taihe Palace.

It's just that under the words of the Jade King, no one answered at all,

"Your Majesty, it's important to retreat from the enemy at the moment." The only one who spoke was Tian Er.

"Then Tian Aiqing has a good plan to retreat from the enemy?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen is stupid and has no good way to retreat from the enemy."

"Do you love Qing?"

This!

Ministers, look at me, I look at you, there is no way at all, so they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look up at the Jade King.

"Report!"

Just when the Jade King was about to lose his temper, another messenger arrived, which obviously would not be good news.

"Report, there are more than 3,000 enemy troops in Ximen, all of whom are innate warriors."

"Report!"

Before everyone could react, the messenger arrived again.

"Report, tens of thousands of enemy troops have appeared at the east gate."

Hearing the word tens of thousands, the Jade King instantly stood up, because the first two times were warriors, this time they all thought that they were warriors, including all the ministers, so when they heard that there were tens of thousands of enemy troops, they could not worry about that, maybe five thousand at the north gate plus three thousand at the west gate could be dealt with with with the current situation of Qingyu City, but with the tens of thousands of enemy troops at the east gate, they really couldn't deal with it.

"You repeat, how many enemy troops are there in the East Gate, and are they all innate martial artists?" The Jade King asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, there are 20,000 stewed enemy troops at the East Gate, but they are not warriors, but some people who are not like the Qingyu Dynasty."

"Not from the Qingyu Dynasty? Who is that? The Jade King frowned and asked, could it be that someone from other dynasties intervened.

"Your Majesty, they are more like the barbarian race of the northern cold grassland."

Wow!

This time, the shock of the ministers was no less than last time, the people of the Qingyu Dynasty have always rumored that Lu Jiuyuan will unify the Northern Han, originally in their eyes it was just Lu Jiuyuan's propaganda in order to show his own intentions, but now it seems that Lu Jiuyuan really unified the Northern Cold Grassland, and those rumors may be known from the mouths of ordinary people or businessmen.

Now what the Jade King is worried about has happened, if Lu Jiuyuan really unifies the Northern Cold Grassland, then Lu Jiuyuan's soldiers and horses must be more than these, and there are even more soldiers and horses, and now that the three gates of Qingyu City have enemy troops, then the final south gate must also be indispensable, and it may be the main target of Lu Jiuyuan's attack.

"South Gate situation?" The Jade King asked.

"Your Majesty, the situation of the south gate is not clear, and when the subordinates are subordinate, they only know the situation of the north gate, the west gate and the east gate."

Hearing this, the Jade King was silent for a moment, and then looked at Tian Er, the secretary of the military department, "Tian Aiqing, send a quarter of the soldiers and horses in the city to the south gate, remember to let them hold on to the south gate." ”

"We're in command."

Tian Er still knows what the Jade King means, otherwise with so many people who follow the Jade King, he would become the secretary of the military department for no reason, just because he is not as smart as him.

As for a quarter of the soldiers and horses, there are about 65,000 soldiers and horses available in the city, and a quarter is 16,000 when sent out, just to guard the south gate, you must know that the city wall of a city gate can not accommodate so many people, and the city wall can accommodate 5,000 people at most, otherwise it is too crowded and not conducive to fighting, and if there are dead and wounded, let the soldiers who did not go to the city wall make up for it.

In this way, the 65,000 soldiers and horses against Lu Jiuyuan's 35,000 soldiers and horses or even more soldiers and horses are like a cup of money, there is no chance of winning at all, at most, it is just to hold the city wall and let Lu Jiuyuan enter the city later.

"Report!"

The Taihe Hall was quiet for a long time, and the ministers found that the Jade King was in a state of anger, so they didn't dare to say a word.

The sudden news came again and woke everyone up, they knew that this was the situation at the South Gate, they had been waiting all afternoon, they had not even eaten, and now the news finally came.

"Report!"

"Enemy troops appear at the south gate." The messenger knelt down on one knee and said.

"How many are there?"

As the Jade King's words fell, everyone looked at the messenger, for they could only get the news from the messenger's mouth.

"Your Majesty, there are twenty enemy troops at the South Gate, and the King of Jiuyuan is also among them."

"What?"

The Jade King looked at the messenger incredulously, there were only twenty people coming to the south gate, and Lu Jiuyuan himself was among them, you must know that he sent a quarter of the soldiers and horses to the south gate, and now I am afraid that Tian Er does not know that the situation is still in the process of transferring troops.

"Your Majesty, except for the King of Jiuyuan in the South Gate, the other nineteen people are all martial artists, and eighteen of them are congenital five-fold, as for the other person who can't perceive his realm, the lord said that person may be a strong grandmaster."

"I see."

Hearing the messenger's words, the Jade King knew who the messenger was talking about, it was the great master and the strong man Gai Nie at the beginning, but he didn't expect to think of the word Gai Nie six years later, it was really a matter of the world.

"Spread my will, let the criminal department Shangshu open the city at the south gate to face the battle, and take down Lu Jiuyuan as quickly as possible."

"Yes."

The Jade King can be said to be broken and broken, once he successfully catches Lu Jiuyuan, he wins, but if he doesn't catch him, he loses, because the opening of the south gate means that there are a lot of unknowns, it is possible to be caught by Lu Jiuyuan This loophole, and if he successfully takes the south gate, it will really be in danger at that time.

But the Jade King wants to gamble, he has already thought clearly, the probability of him winning this battle is very small, and it can even be said that there is no, he has no choice but to gamble, and his retreat is ready, so if he loses, he will have a chance to make a comeback, after all, his relationship network is involved in the two dynasties of the Fengyu Empire and the Xia Dynasty, one exists at the same level as the Qingyu Dynasty, and the other is not known how many times stronger than the Qingyu Dynasty.
