Chapter 5: The Hunt Begins

Outside Jimo City, the six horsemen led by Ye Shaoyun always maintained a conical formation, rushed to kill the Chu army that had retreated in front of them, and went straight to the moat.

"Childe, the Mo family's 'Ten Thousand Jin Gate' has fallen, unless the Yan people use the cloud ladder, there is no possibility of breaking through the city gate." Shen He pointed to the huge bronze doorway in the distance.

Ye Shaoyun raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a green side at the city gate.

The huge bronze gate was not so much a city gate as a whole cast bronze plate, without a single crack in the whole body, like a hill, which cut off the inside and outside of the city gate.

The two armies of Yan and Chu outside the city were defeated like a mountain, and they desperately fled under the arrows all over the city. The dead soldiers of the Yan Kingdom who rushed into the city are probably also more auspicious.

Sigh~

Ye Shaoyun rushed to the moat and stood on his horse.

This was the first time he had seen an ancient war on a scale of 10,000 people, and its tragedy and magnificence were no less than the firearms wars of later generations.

The purpose of ancient wars was to capture cities, and the goal of later wars was to capture cities, and the wars have lasted for thousands of years, but the essence of siege and hunting has not changed in the slightest.

It's just that in the era when there was no gunpowder for aircraft, the role of the city wall in ancient warfare was almost decisive. This is also the reason why Jimo City can still turn defeat into victory under such a crisis, relying on the natural danger shaped by the city.

It's a pity that this time, the two armies of Yan and Chu did not carry any siege equipment, and they could no longer pose a threat to Jimo City, and this battle was a complete defeat.

Ye Shaoyun looked over, and on the field a few miles away, the cavalry of the Yan Kingdom was completely black, and it had really stopped.

A row of generals stood in front, lined up on both sides, and one of the generals stood still, like a stone statue, looking towards Jimo City.

Obviously so far away, Ye Shaoyun glanced up and down as if he was being pressed by the other party's eyebrows, and a chill ran all over his body.

"Le Yi!"

Everyone exclaimed, the name seemed to have magical powers, and everyone was terrified.

"Even if it's Le Yi, isn't this attack a huge loss?" Wen Tong whispered, but his eyes were staring at the ground, not daring to look into the distance.

Shen He shook his head and said, "Having said that, the most casualties were the Chu people, and the Yan army was not injured to the root. However, Le Yi's use of troops this time is really strange, with his temperament, he will definitely make a careful layout, step by step, how can he adopt such an aggressive style of play? ”

Ye Shaoyun naturally couldn't answer Shen He's question, his understanding of Le Yi was completely based on Tian Ziyun's memories of his previous life. But in those memories, there was only a long, barren, endless defense of the city and hope, and the sense of despair left by the dark years made him shudder.

"The robbers are coming!" Someone exclaimed.

Ye Shaoyun's gaze turned to the rear, and in the scattered Chu army, fifty or sixty horsemen rushed out, led by the cavalry.

But the group of robbers have obviously become the target of arrows in the city, and they have suffered a lot of losses along the way.

At this time, the cavalry was drawing his sword and slashing all the way, and he ordered the Chu army to kill back, but the army's morale was weak, and no one was willing to listen to his command.

"This guy is really annoying." Ye Shaoyun frowned.

"Childe goes first, as long as he crosses the riverbed, he will not dare to chase deeply." Shen He tied his head to his horse and pulled out a broadsword.

"Wen Tong can also break off, Childe go quickly!" Gong Wen held the long sword in both hands and stared at the front with burning eyes.

The rest of the people also came out one after another, protecting Tian Ziyun behind.

Clang!

Ye Shaoyun suddenly pulled out the sword, his fingers crossed the sword body, brushing through the fine fish patterns, feeling the cold touch between his fingers.

In my previous life, I was used to all kinds of guns and military daggers in the army, how long has it been since I used a long sword?

Last time, it should have been in Master Miyamoto's kendo martial arts hall, right?

Whew, Ye Shaoyun danced a few times casually, the bronze sword whistled, very sharp, but the feel was slightly lighter, and it did not have the heavy chopping feeling of the Japanese steel knife.

Shen He looked at Tian Ziyun's movements and wondered, "Childe? ”

"I, Tian Ziyun, hate being chased by others the most in my life, I have never been the only one to beat others, and no one else has beaten me! I don't know what to do, you must teach him to be a man! ”

Drive!

Ye Shaoyun suddenly rode out of the horse, the sword cut through the sky, and rushed straight in the direction of the robbery!

……

The other side.

"General, General Le Da has collected his troops!" Said a general on the side of the robbery.

Riding robbery was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at the right rear, Le Yi had really stopped, and the riding robbery gritted his teeth with hatred:

"I am the vanguard in this battle, I can't fight, although the boss is guilty, but I can't get rid of it, this battle is all lost by the prince's people, how to face the prince in the future?"

"That Le Yi can obviously bring a ladder and a wooden curtain to attack the city, why did he just lead 30,000 cavalry over, didn't he want to attack the city at all this time?"

"It's not good, could it be that Le Yi expected that this siege would fail, so he deliberately let me take the lead?!"

"Le Yi, you are so vicious! Not only did I calculate the Chu army, but even me and the prince also calculated! ”

The more he thought about it, the tighter his teeth became, and his eyes almost wanted to breathe fire.

"General, why don't we withdraw too, there is no hope for the Chu army." The general next to him reminded.

The cavalry robbery has now lost its backup, and there is suspicion in his heart, his confidence has long been shaken, and he is about to retreat, when suddenly, the light in front of him flickered, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Tian Ziyun!"

The horse robber screamed in fright, he thought that it was too late for the other party to escape, how could he have thought that Tian Ziyun would dare to fight back!

In normal times, the cavalry would not be attacked at all, but because his vision was disturbed by a large number of Chu troops, he didn't expect Tian Ziyun to have such courage, and when he reacted, Tian Ziyun's sword had already slashed at him.

With the inertia of a war horse, Tian Ziyun's full strength split, whistling with the wind, thunderbolt like lightning!

Bang, the cavalry hurriedly blocked a sword, the shock made the tiger's mouth numb, the whole person fell backwards, the helmet was swept by Tian Ziyun's sword, and it flew in the air.

With a plop, he rolled and fell under the horse, avoiding Tian Ziyun's back move.

Tian Ziyun succeeded in his blow, and the war horse rushed out from the side, and he swung his sword and cut down the two of them.

"Kill him for me!"

The horseman rose from the ground, his cape scattered, and howled in disarray.

Dozens of Yan Qi immediately rushed out and chased Tian Ziyun, but they were scattered by Shen He and others who arrived, and they were slashed and killed for a while.

The cavalry was furious, and he was just about to turn over and get on his horse, when suddenly a whistling came, and a long crossbow broke through the air, directly shooting his war horse through and nailing him to the ground!

At this moment, the drums of the city gate sounded, and the city gates on the other side of the city suddenly opened, and two black-armored and red-clothed cavalry rushed out, killing in a mighty manner.

"General, retreat!" The cavalry of the Yan Kingdom swarmed up, rescued the cavalry, and fled in a hurry.

The drums became louder and stronger, and the two Qi cavalry, like two sharp swords, crossed and swept across the field, strangling Yan Chu's deserters, and won a great victory.

But the cavalry of the Qi State chased to the place where the city defense circle was located, and immediately stopped. Five hundred steps away, it was Le Yi's 30,000 Yan State cavalry.

The soldiers of the Qi State kept a safe distance in this way, confronting, shouting, and cheering, trying to expel these Yan people from this land.

The large cavalry formation in the distance seemed to grow on the ground, motionless.

These Yan cavalry, everyone reined in their horses with one hand and pressed their swords with the other, and their eyes were firmly fixed on the Qi army who was scolding angrily on the opposite side, as if they could gallop out at any time.

The autumn wind gently blew over the Yan army, carefully pulling the banner of the word "Yan", for fear of making too much noise.

Then after going around for a while, the autumn wind turned to the front of the big formation, and almost bumped into a general in the center, and immediately leaned down under the horse in fright, and the withered grass all over the ground trembled.

The general on the horse, his body was like Yue, his eyes were like an abyss, and a murderous aura emanated from his body, and he was even more angry like a tiger.

This person is the commander of the Yan army, Le Yi.

There were more than a dozen generals standing on both sides of Le Yi, and one of the generals stepped forward, pressed his right hand on his left chest, and bowed to Le Yi and said:

"Eun Gong, the lynx's claws have reached into the belly of the prey, and the hunt has begun."

The general spoke with a peculiar accent, speaking as if he had a stone in his mouth. His hairstyle is also bizarre, his head is shaved bald, only a rat's tail like a braid is left behind his head, and his robe is also left-handed, which is a typical Hu person dress.

"Yes." Le Yi bowed slightly, his gaze crossed Jimo City, and cast his eyes on the mountains in the distance, and after a long while, he suddenly said, "What's going on with the king?" ”

"Back to my father." A young general, who immediately stepped forward, said respectfully: "The envoy has already seen the king, but the letter said that the king is in poor health, and Queen Li advised the king to stay in the palace to recuperate, and the time to set off is ...... It has not yet been decided. ”

The general of the Hu people sighed and exclaimed: "It hasn't been decided yet?" Engong, if you miss the time, I'm afraid ......"

"There's no need to wait." Le Yi raised his hand, retracted his gaze, and said slowly: "What the king can't see, I will witness it for him, and I will end it with my own hands." ”

"Eun Gong?! Do you want to ...... it yourself?"

"Father's !!"

"When the sun sets, the killing begins. Qin Kai, the wolf of the grassland, start hunting! ”

"Yes, Engong!" The Hu general's body was leaned over the horse's neck, and his eyes flashed with a burning light.
