Chapter 166: Soldiers Approaching Bailu City

"Pedal Pedal ~"

On the official road 3 miles away from Bailu City, there was a dense sound of footsteps in the dark night.

The light of the fire shook like fireflies in the night sky, one every few tens of meters, and thousands of fires stretched for miles from beginning to end.

Under the faint light of the fire, a warrior in armor walked silently in the dark night, like a long black dragon silently and slowly advancing in the direction of Bailu City.

"General, there are still 3 miles ahead of Bailu City, do you want to send cavalry to take Bailu City first?"

In the middle and front of the army, Yue Zhongqi, who was wearing armor and a long braid behind his helmet, looked at the bright Bailu City not far away and said to Li Mu in a loud voice.

On the side of Li Mu and Yue Zhongqi, the three Ruan brothers and Ding Wei and others, who were slightly embarrassed, stood aside, and the faces of the three Ruan brothers were still a little puzzled and reluctant.

The army in front of him was the 50,000 Southern Army under Sima Yu and led by Li Mu.

This time to attack the Liangshan Army, as early as nearly one month ago, Li Mu had been ordered by Sima Yu to land in Bailu County of the Liangshan Army with the full assistance of the North Battalion of the Water Division. However, in order to avoid alarming the snake, the news has been hidden from the outside world.

Under the infiltration of the powerful caravan forces under the command of Sima Yu, some villages and towns in the border areas along the river in Bailu County of the Liangshan Army had long been secretly controlled by the forces of the Southern King.

The 50,000 southern army was divided into several groups and lurked in several towns such as Pingyuan and Hekou, which was also the reason why the three Ruan brothers were able to quickly control the three towns of Xiaxi, Pingyuan and Hekou after raising their troops, and Li Mu also secretly sent a group of people to the three Ruan brothers' army.

Unconsciously, a small part of the army under the command of the three brothers has been replaced by veterans of the Southern Army under Li Mu, and the reason why the three Ruan brothers were able to rely on the low walls of Hekou Town to block the attack of Xue Ju's tens of thousands of troops was due to these people.

Chao Gai fled, Xue Ju was forced to lead troops back to help, and the three Ruan brothers couldn't help but lead troops to pursue. Seeing that the situation in Bailu County of the entire Liangshan Army had been attracted to Jiuzhi Town, Li Mu quickly recruited a large army to quickly occupy Xiaxi, Pingyuan and other towns, and had already led his troops to Bailu City in silence.

"No need! Xue Rengao's son is brave and unscrupulous, tyrannical, and unpopular in the army, so there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as the army besieges the city, the defenders in the city can be broken overnight. Now we need to pay more attention to Xue Rengao but Xue Ju, he still has an army of 20,000 under his command, which should not be underestimated."

Li Mu shook his head when he heard this, and denied Yue Zhongqi's suggestion.

"Does the general mean to surround Bailu City first and lead Xue Ju back to help?"

Yue Zhongqi frowned slightly and asked.

"Bailu City is only thirteen miles away from Jiuzhi Town, and there is Huo Jun leading an army of 10,000 people outside Jiuzhi Town to contain him, once we besiege the city, Xue Ju, who got the news, may run away. Dongmei, you and I will act separately, you immediately mobilize 10,000 cavalry to act first, rush to Jiuzhi Town, and attack his camp before Xue Ju has received news from us. Here, I will send people to surround Bailu City, as long as you defeat Xue Ju on your side, Bailu City will be defeated! ”

Riding on the war horse, Li Mu ordered in a low voice as he walked forward.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, a dazzling look flashed in Yue Zhongqi's eyes, and he hurriedly nodded and said.

Soon, Yue Zhongqi, who had gathered 10,000 cavalry in the army, led the troops to leave quickly in the night. "Driving~"

"Pedal Pedal ~"

Outside the west gate of Bailu City, dozens of knights escorted Xue Rengao on the official road and quickly ran towards Bailu City, and the blood stains on the armor of the group had not completely dried up, and their bodies looked a little embarrassed in the gallop.

"The young general is back home, open the city gate quickly!"

At this time, it was the end of the time, after the escape of Chao Gai and Ding Wei's rebellion last night, the entire Bailu City was heavily guarded, and the gate of the Quartet had been closed early. Seeing that he was about to reach the city, one of the knights in the group sped up to the city and shouted to the guards above the city gate.

At the front of the team, two knights each had a large banner engraved with the word "Xue", which was slanted.

"It's the Major General! Look at the city gates! ”

The guard colonel on the city tower looked out of the city when he heard this, and saw dozens of knights outside the city all wearing chain armor and big red cloaks on their shoulders, and the military general at the head was eight feet long, carrying a halberd, wearing a wolf helmet, and the red feathers dancing in the wind.

Immediately, the colonel immediately ordered the guards below to open the city gates.

"Something that doesn't have long eyes!"

"Ah~"

As soon as the city gate opened, Xue Rengao immediately led people to gallop into the city, and when he passed through the city gate, he looked at the small school on duty who was already standing next to the city gate, and waved his hand is a horse whip, which was extremely powerful, and went straight to the eyes of the little school, and hit the little school on the spot to cover his eyes and fall to the ground and scream, and blood flowed between his trembling fingers.

"Drag it out, cut it!"

The sound of horses' hooves was far away, and when the soldiers on duty were frightened and stunned, Xue Rengao's cruel and violent cold cheers were heard.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The soldiers at the city gate panicked and stepped forward to carry the screaming colonel to the outside of the city, seeing that the former leader ended up like this because of a hesitation, everyone looked unbearable, but they did not dare to have the slightest disobedience and hesitation.

A soldier directly raised the knife in his hand, and the Colonel's screams stopped abruptly, and after the Colonel was solved with a knife, several people quickly carried his body and walked out of the city, trying to find a place to bury the Colonel's body.

"This, it seems that there is a large group of cavalry!"

Just when a few people had just carried the corpse to a few hundred meters outside the city, ready to find a hidden place to bury the corpse, there was a faint trembling sound from the ground, and one person couldn't help but speak out in surprise.

"Not good! There is an enemy attack! ”

When the other people heard this, they also seemed to vaguely feel the light trembling sound of the earth, and just when a few people were suspicious, the tremor on the ground became more and more intense, and several people were silent for a while, and after looking at each other, they suddenly exclaimed together and threw down the corpse and fled in the direction of Bailu City.

"Bell Bell Bell ~"

"There's an enemy attack!"

When the few people who threw the corpses out of the city ran back, the defenders on Bailu City had already noticed the strangeness under their feet, raised their eyes, and when they saw the long fire dragon that appeared not far from the city, they also reacted, and a warning immediately sounded on the city.

"What? There is an enemy attack? They're really too long! Immediately let Geng Chengwu gather the army and follow me out of the city to face the battle! ”

In the process of running in the direction of the South Gate camp, before Xue Rengao arrived at the camp, he heard the alarm bell ringing in the silent night sky, and ordered after scolding in a low voice.

He thought that the three Ruan brothers were coming in hot pursuit, and he couldn't help but become more and more annoyed in his heart.

In last night's battle, due to Ding Wei's sudden attack, Xue Rengao, who was originally guaranteed to win, lost inexplicably, not only did not ambush the three Ruan brothers, but instead folded all the men under his command there.

It was definitely a shame that he couldn't bear, and the mark had to be washed away.

Thundered~

Soon, under the uneasy gaze of the soldiers in the city, 10,000 cavalry appeared outside Bailu City, and the huge momentum was not affected in the night.

However, the cavalry did not stop outside the city of Bailu, and continued to move forward without stopping.

The shock of the cavalry had not yet completely dissipated, and in the sparse firelight, the follow-up 40,000 southern troops under the leadership of Li Mu also appeared outside Bailu City.
