Chapter 181: Lost and Found
When Mao Wenlong and Liu Xingzuo led an army of more than 12,000 people to attack Yizhou City in the darkness before dawn, Amin's blue flag, in addition to sending ten Niulu and 3,000 people to show off their might under Tieshan City, the remaining 20 Niulu 6,000 troops were all in Yiju City in the east of the Yalu River.

And because Dingzhou is nearly fifty miles away from Yizhou, it is a bit far away for the infantry to attack, even if they barely arrive, they have no remaining strength to fight.
Therefore, Mao Wenlong led the army, and after meeting with Qu Chengen three miles outside the west gate of Dingzhou, he handed over the 4,000 Pidao cavalry to Qu Chengen's command, plus Liu Xingzhi's more than 1,000 Fuzhou soldiers pretended to be the Jianyu Red Banner Cavalry, a total of more than 5,000 people, so let these more than 5,000 horsemen, with Qu Chengen as the main general, rush to Yizhou City first.
Qu Chengen originally set up an ambush three miles outside the west gate of Dingzhou, and received two tasks, to the west was to intercept the Jianyu reinforcements in the direction of Yizhou, and to the east was to intercept the Jianyu stragglers who fled from Dingzhou.
As a result, there was no movement in the direction of Uiju.
Amin had no idea what was happening in Dingzhou, so it was impossible for him to know that the Prophet had sent reinforcements.
However, there are many soldiers who escaped from the west gate and north gate of Dingzhou City. Except for some particularly brave ones, most of the soldiers who escaped from Dingzhou were successfully intercepted by Qu Chengen's subordinates, and they were either captured or killed.
However, the first level of the Red Flag inlaid by Qu Chengen obtained by Qu Chengen is only about 300 when it is fully counted, which is still slightly insufficient compared with other people in Dongjiang Town.
So as soon as he received Mao Wenlong's order, he immediately led all the cavalry he could take away with Liu Xingzhi and galloped in the direction of Yizhou.
When they arrived at the east gate of Uiju, the eastern skyline was already white, and the sky was about to brighten.
Liu Xingzhi led his Fuzhou soldiers, who had already shaved their hair and braids, and most of Qu Chengen's troops were separated by two or three miles, rushing to the front of the entire team, and in order to show their identity as a prisoner to the defenders of the city, everyone also deliberately showed their money rat tails.
At this time, the chief general guarding the east gate of Yiju was Amin's most trusted person, that is, his eldest son Erli.
Amin's arrangement for the main general of the East Gate was originally no problem at all. However, coincidentally, the deputy general who guarded the east gate with Erli was Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingzhi's younger brother Liu Xingxian.
What is even more coincidental is that Erli, who is also extremely distrustful of the Han generals, has been dutifully sticking to the tower of the east gate of Yizhou in the first half of the night to watch the night, but in the second half of the night, seeing that the hour has passed the fifth watch, Aierli, who has been transporting grain and grass for several days and supervising the construction of siege equipment, is really tired and can't open his eyes, so he simply went back to his residence in the city to sleep, and handed over the task of guarding the east gate to Liu Xingxian, who has always behaved extremely servilely.
The result can be imagined, Liu Xingxian, who had been worrying all night and waiting for news from Dingzhou, immediately caught up with the city as soon as he heard an urgent report from his subordinates that about thousands of cavalry were rushing in the direction of Dingzhou City in the east.
The first person to enter his field of vision was Liu Xingzhi, who rushed to the front first, and was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.
The Fuzhou soldiers under Liu Xingxian naturally immediately executed the order.
Of course, at the same time, the soldiers with blue flags who were on duty in the city were not without doubts, and a Niu Lu Ezhen led by him did everything possible to prevent Liu Xingxian from opening the east gate without authorization.
However, this Niu Lu Ezhen was soon sent down to the city by Liu Xingxian, and asked him to personally go to the East Gate Commander Aierli for instructions, and it was best to go to the Jianyu Coach Erbeile Amin for instructions.
When that Niu Lu Ezhen rushed down to the city to ask for Aierli, Liu Xingxian also immediately asked his Fuzhou soldiers to open the city gate.
A Niu Lu with a blue flag guarded the east gate with more than 1,000 people under Liu Xingxian, but after their Niu Lu really left, these crowds were leaderless, and looking at the cavalry more than 100 steps away from the city, they were all in the shape of a money rat tail, and many people were already relieved at the moment.
Although there are a few suspicious people who feel inexplicable about the sudden return of the flag-inlaid banners to Yizhou City, the cavalry under the city not only has a hairstyle of money rat tail, but also clothes are all red-flag-inlaid clothes, and even the horses are their own horses that Jianyu is used to, so when Liu Xingzhi's people rushed down to open the city gate, no one really went to stop them.
When the east gate of Yizhou City finally creaked open, Liu Xingzhi grabbed the horse's belly and rushed in first.
Liu Xingzhi's more than 1,000 cavalry had just poured into the city, and Qu Chengen's 4,000 cavalry had already accelerated and galloped.
It was only then that the blue-inlaid banner at the head of the east gate of Yiju realized that something was wrong, and immediately shouted and tried to rush down the city to close the gate.
By this time, however, it was all over.
Liu Xingxian and hundreds of henchmen immediately launched an attack on a bull and blue flag soldier at the head of the city, and the other remaining Han soldiers, although they didn't understand what was going on, saw their own general and Jianyu fighting, and quickly sided with the same enemy on their own general's side.
More than 1,000 soldiers of the Han army of Zhenjiangbao besieged the head of the city, and the 300 soldiers with blue flags were very difficult to fight, but they were extremely powerful in buying very valuable time for Qu Chengen to lead the army of Phi Dao into the city.
When Qu Chengen finally led the army into the city, the entire city of Yizhou had become a pot of porridge.
When the blue-flag-inlaid Jianyu in Yizhou City woke up from his sleep, only to find that the one who attacked him was actually the red-flag-inlaid bannerman, his expression was really as wonderful as it was and as complicated as it was.
The most unlucky is Amin's eldest son, Elli.
Shortly after Elli returned to his residence in the city, Niu Lu Ezhen, a close confidant of Liu Xingxian who had been overseeing Liu Xingxian at the east gate on his orders, came to report to him that he had arrived outside the east gate from the direction of Dingzhou City, and asked him whether to let those people into the city.
When Elle heard this, she felt that something was wrong. Because he knew that his Ama Erbel Amin did not like Azig, and not only did he not treat this Azig, but he also had no good feelings for all the sons of Nur Hachi.
Therefore, he knew very well that unless there was an emergency, even if Azig was the owner of the Red Banner Banner, he would never dare to return to the army without asking for instructions.
Elli, who had a premonition, sent someone to report to Amin, and rushed to the east gate with some of the guards around him.
And when they approached the east gate, the city inside the east gate was already in chaos.
Liu Xingzhi has been stationed in the city of Yizhou for two days, of course he knows the road, if he can be like Dingzhou, the thief first captured the king, surrounded the banner owner with the blue flag, the second Bel Amin of the captive, then his credit will be great.
Therefore, as soon as he entered the city, he did not stop, and immediately took his cavalry and rushed to Amin's station, which was the original official office of Yizhou.
As soon as Aerli approached the vicinity of the East Gate, he met Qu Chengen, a veteran of the Dongjiang River who had entered the city with a large group of cavalry.
As soon as Qu Chengen saw the person, although he didn't know the identity of the other party, when he saw the armor on Erli's body, he knew that he was the leader of the team of prisoners opposite.
Without saying a word, he immediately opened his bow and arrow, and with a whoosh, the arrow was like a meteor, and went straight to the door of Elli.
Elley suddenly saw an arrow coming from the opposite man, and instinctively wanted to lie down backwards in order to avoid the arrow, but as soon as he raised his head, he felt a sudden chill in his throat, and then a sharp pain came, and Elley's evasive action had just begun, and it was over at once.
With that, there is also the life of Amin's eldest son, Elli, who was still vigorous and ups and downs.
