Chapter Seventy-Two: Another Cavalry Approaching

An overwhelming contingent of cavalry......

Xie An's eyebrows furrowed tightly, in his opinion, allowing the well-informed Mo Fei to say the word "overwhelming" in his own mouth undoubtedly means that the cavalry force that is rapidly approaching this place is at least more than 30,000, or even 50,000 or 100,000 in number.

In the imperial court forces north of Jijing, it is impossible to have such a number of friendly troops, let alone cavalry, could it be the people of Li Mao, the king of Yan?

However, according to the rumors, the army under the command of Li Mao, the king of Yan, is only nearly 200,000, except for the necessary troops left in the northern Xinjiang, the one who can lead the expedition this time is only 1340,000. Among the 1340,000 Northern Xinjiang troops, nearly 80,000 Shangtun were stationed in the Boling area, firmly trapped by the powerful combat power of the Great Zhou Dynasty against the most threatening Northern Xinjiang, that is, the eldest wife of Xie An's Mansion, the general of the Eastern Army, the Marquis of Dongzhen, and the Yanhu Ji Liangqiu dance.

In this way, the troops brought by Li Mao, the king of Yan, to Jijing this time, there are only 30,000 or 40,000 infantry and 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry left, which is in line with the current situation.

But if this is the case, what is the matter with the overwhelming cavalry troops that are coming towards the suburbs of Jijing in Mo Fei's mouth?

"An overwhelming cavalry force...... Is it? As soon as he told Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, Li Xian suddenly showed a solemn look, the light in his eyes flashed, and there was a faint look of strangeness, sometimes suspicious, sometimes surprised.

Seeing that Li Xian's expression was different, Xie An frowned, and said in surprise and amazement, "Li Xian, in the past few years, you have sent a lot of secret agents to the northern Xinjiang, don't tell me that Li Mao is under your nose." And hid an elite cavalry ......"

"No," Li Xian smiled reluctantly, shook his head and said very firmly, "Yuyang is the premier city in the land of Youyan. It is already the limit to support 100,000 Yuyang Iron Horsemen...... To be precise, among the 100,000 Yuyang iron cavalry, at least half of them are stationed in other cities on weekdays, such as Beiping, Jixian and other places, so it is impossible for Yuyang to hide any elite cavalry! ”

"What's going on with the overwhelming cavalry in Mo Fei's mouth? You don't want to say it's our reinforcements, do you? Xie An teased with a little annoyance.

It's a pity. Li Xian didn't seem to notice the ridicule in Xie An's eyes at all, and only looked at the horse's mane on the war horse under his crotch, his eyes wandering and his expression uncertain, obviously pondering something.

"Could it be the ......," Li Xian muttered to himself.

"What?" Xie An couldn't really hear it for a while, and couldn't help but ask, but it was a pity that Li Xian was thinking all his mind at the moment, and he didn't pay attention to Xie An's confusion.

And just as Xie An was about to ask again, the battle circle of four people in the distance suddenly erupted into a deep drink.

Xie An subconsciously turned his head and immediately gasped in shock.

What did he see? He saw that Fei Guo, Liao Li, and Di Bu were forced to retreat by Li Mao, the king of Yan!

Three against one. Still being forced back by the other party?!

If it's an ordinary soldier, it's just that, but those three are clearly the strongest generals in their own martial arts!

[This Li Mao ......]

Just when Xie An was dumbfounded, Fei Guo, Liao Li, and Di Bu were also anxious in their hearts.

Although except for Di Bu's chest was injured because of his carelessness, Fei Guo and Liao Li did not see the lottery from beginning to end, but then again. Li Mao, the king of Yan on the other side, was also unharmed.

Three of them fight one, and they don't know whether they win or lose, even if the other party is a long-famous hero like Yanwang Li Mao, Fei Guo, Liao Li, and Di Bu are not good-looking.

How did they know that at this time, Li Mao, the king of Yan, was also secretly surprised in his heart.

is the so-called fierce general duel, as soon as you fight, you will know the depth of the opponent's strength, and the arrogant Yan King Li Mao once thought that he was the strongest martial artist in the world, even if he surpassed his mentor Liang Qiugong one day, it was not something he never thought of.

Of course, Liang Qiu Dance, the senior sister, must be excluded. After all, she is a woman, let alone a woman that Li Mao has admired since she was a child.

But this time, Li Mao met three heroes in a row who were qualified to fight him.

Liang Guo's Tiger and Fei Guo, Nanyang's Niu and Liao Li, plus the heavy head of the Great Prison Temple, Di Bu. It can be said that Li Mao, who is invincible all over the northern Xinjiang, actually encountered three fierce generals who chased him directly after him this time.

"The Jizhou Army is really full of talents......

Putting aside the relationship between friend and foe, Li Mao, the king of Yan, couldn't help but praise in his heart.

From the fight just now, Li Mao noticed that the three fierce generals of the Jizhou Army in front of him were undeniably stronger than the five tigers in northern Xinjiang under his command.

Especially Fei Guo, Li Mao has always wondered why the Liangqiu Dance Party acquiesced to Fei Guo's title of Tiger of Liang Guo. You must know that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the tiger represents the Liangqiu family, which is said to be the first Great Zhou Emperor Chrysostom, so it is no wonder that the heroes of the Liangqiu family in the past dynasties are named after the tiger, such as the Hanoi Tiger of Liangqiu Gong, the Tiger of Liangqiu Gong's Northern Xinjiang, the Yanhu Ji of Liangqiu Dance and so on.

Guan Gong played a big knife in front of the door, although Da Zhou did not have this kind of revelation, but in front of Liangqiu, who has produced tiger generals for generations, he called himself what kind of tiger, and his meaning is probably similar.

Otherwise, it was obviously the first time they met, and Liang Qiuwu's attitude towards the Five Tigers of Northern Xinjiang would not have been so bad.

And now this Fei country is actually called the tiger of Liang Guo, and Liang Qiu Dance has not said anything about it, which makes Li Mao faintly surprised.

Could it be because this person also worshiped under Liangqiu's family to practice martial arts, and is Xie An's confidant, so he can be regarded as half of Liangqiu's family, so Xiao Wu turned a blind eye?

Li Xian thought secretly.

It wasn't until he had fought with Fei Guo that he realized that this person was probably not as simple as he thought.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang-"

Fei Guo and Li Mao fought three times in a row, and it seemed that they were evenly divided.

[This guy has a lot of arm strength......]

During the hard fight, Li Mao glanced at Fei Guo's thick and sturdy arms in surprise, and secretly wondered in his heart. Because in his opinion, he seems to be such a fierce general with superior arm strength. It is natural to choose weapons such as spears and broadswords, but why choose spears?

Just when Li Mao was distracted, Liao Li and Di Bu also attacked together, and repeatedly greeted Li Mao at the door with their hands.

Pity. What kind of character is Li Mao, that is Liang Qiugong's proud disciple, his superb spear skills are unparalleled in the world, how can Liao Li and Di Bu succeed easily? With a flick, Li Mao blocked the weapons of the two.

"Bang bang!"

Even though Li Mao, who was gifted with divine power, couldn't help but be smashed to the point that his hands were sore.

[Strange.] This Liao Li and this Di Bu, their arm strength is not weak, but why do they both choose spears? ]

sold a flaw, and while Liao Li and Di Bu were attacking, Li Mao clenched the halberd with both hands and slashed it horizontally, forcing the two of them to retreat.

"What the hell is going on with this guy?"

Putting aside the honest and stubborn Di Bu, Fei Guo and Liao Li had already faintly sensed something, temporarily stopped the offensive, and glanced at each other.

It's a bit ridiculous to say, for some reason. The two of them vaguely felt that Li Mao was not fully engaged in the battle, although he was not absent-minded, but he always felt that he was confused by some doubts, so that there were a few times when he was able to counterattack and force the three of them into a hurry, but he did not pursue it.

Just when Fei Guo and Liao Li were secretly puzzled, they suddenly heard Li Mao, the king of Yan opposite, say. "After a few battles, this king also saw that the three of you are really talented, but it seems that you have not learned marksmanship...... At least not deeply involved in this regard! Saying that, Li Mao shook his head and said in a natural tone, "With brute force alone, you can't beat this king!" ”

Fei Guo and Liao Li's words made Fei Guo and Liao Li's faces red-faced, thinking that since they had solved the Taiping Army in Guangling without much effort. It is somewhat inevitable that he is a little arrogant in his heart, and he thinks that he is quite close to the strength of Liang Qiu Hao, Zhen Lei, Liang Qiu Wu, and Li Mao, but who would have expected that he Fei Guo, Liao Li, and Di Bu, the strongest martial artists under Xie An, would join forces and not be able to hurt Li Mao, the king of Yan.

I have to say. There is no vanity under the fame, and Li Mao, the king of Yan, is indeed worthy of being the overlord of northern Xinjiang.

"Come to the king's side!"

In the stunned eyes of Fei Guo and Liao Li, Li Mao, the king of Yan, held the dragon and tiger halberd in his left hand, spread his right hand towards the two of them, and said in a somewhat seductive tone, "Liang Qiu Gong is old, Xiao Wu abandoned the gun and used the knife, and in terms of marksmanship, he should have the deepest attainments in this book today!" If the three of you are willing to surrender, this king will definitely use the gun to teach him, and reuse the three of you as the general of the soldiers and horses, so that the king will conquer the Qiang people in the west and the grassland in the north. ”

"......" Fei Guo and Liao Li looked at each other in amazement, they never thought that Li Mao would still want to recruit them at such a time.

"How?" Li Mao asked with a smile, and the next breath, the smile on his face froze, because the answer to him was the spears of different weights in the hands of Fei Guo, Liao Li, and Di Bu, and the three of them shot at the same time, taking his face, chest, and waist and abdomen respectively.

[I don't know how to lift!] ]

Seeing that the three of Fei Guo were so rude, even if Li Mao, the king of Yan, cherished the martial artists again, he no longer showed mercy this time, and the dragon and tiger halberd in his hand first swung away Fei Guo's spear, and then used his strength to fight, easily making Liao Li and Di Bu's spears twist together.

"Tide!" With a heavy shout, Li Xian exerted all his strength, and with the strength of one person, he bounced away the spear that Fei Guo, Liao Li, and Di Bu had jointly suppressed, and the three of them retreated again and again.

And this scene just made Xie An, who turned his head, look in his eyes, and he was only stunned.

You must know that Fei Guo and Liao Li are already the strongest generals under his command, not to mention Di Bu, who is on par with Fei Guo in strength, so they can't beat Li Mao, the king of Yan?

[This Li Mao...... How can it be so powerful? ]

Xie Anxin was secretly shocked.

Because in his memory, when he and Li Xian cleverly designed to pull out Wu Heng's spy of the Taiping Army from the Five Tigers in Northern Xinjiang, Li Mao once punched Wu Heng with anger, but as a result, he was pushed to the wall by Wu Heng with one move, and his face was greatly damaged, which made Xie An subconsciously lower Li Mao's strength. And now seeing that Li Mao has beaten Fei Guo, Liao Li, Di Bu and others with one enemy and three and it is difficult to fight back, how can Xie An not be surprised?

I have to say that Xie An really underestimated Li Mao. The reason why Li Mao, the king of Yan, lost face in the hands of Wu Heng back then, was nothing more than that Li Mao underestimated the enemy, although he punched with anger, Li Mao still had some strength. After all, he just wanted to teach Wu Heng a lesson, not because he had the intention of killing him, because he also had to interrogate Wu Heng about the Taiping Army.

But who is Wu Heng? One of the six great generals, his martial arts can be compared with Yang Yu, the second commander of the Tianfu Army. Is it easy to match?

Therefore, Li Mao is not to blame for this trouble, after all, who would have thought that Wu Heng, who was mixed in the tigers of Northern Xinjiang, would be the second-in-command of the Taiping Army? Xie An didn't expect it, Li Xian didn't expect it. The eldest grandson, Xiangyu, didn't expect it.

Some people may say that even if Li Mao asked Wu Heng to escape because of carelessness, then what happened when he was seriously injured in Liangqiu Wu's hands afterwards?

In fact, it is very simple, Liangqiu Dance is already stronger than Li Mao, and Li Mao can't bear to be a killer because of his love for this senior sister, which makes Li Mao, the overlord of Northern Xinjiang, like a sandbag in front of Liangqiu Dance.

And more importantly, Li Mao is a cavalry general, and he learned the martial arts from Liang Qiu Gong. All of them are in the service of fighting immediately, otherwise, why would Li Mao build a heavy halberd with a dragon and tiger pattern? On flat ground, a weapon like this is far less threatening than a sword.

Isn't it, the current Yan King Li Mao is simply an undefeated martial god on the battlefield. Penetrating deep into the hinterland of the enemy's army, suppressing Fei Guo, Liao Li, and Di Bu with one enemy and three people, this ability alone is enough to be included in the ranks of the one-man army.

"Sure enough, do you still want to ask Xiao Wu to deal with this Li Mao?" Gathering his mind, Xie An stared at the battle in the distance and muttered to himself.

In all fairness, Xie An didn't think of the two wise and demonic strategists on the coach's chariot behind him, the eldest grandson Xiangyu and Liu Qing. Facts have proved that as long as the strategy is used properly, even if it is Liang Qiuhao, Zhen Lei and other great heroes in the world. It can also make it fall from the star, but there are many risks involved.

The first thing is to beware of the other party leading a surprise army directly into the formation, just like Liang Qiuhao did in the Battle of Chang'an. If Li Mao, the king of Yan, copied it now, not to mention the victory or defeat in this battle, at least he Xie An would have died on Li Mao's halberd, as long as Li Mao was bent on catching him and killing him.

And as soon as he Xie An died, even if the Jizhou army was an elite division, the morale of the army would inevitably be turbulent, and once the morale of the army was shaken, it could be said that most of the battle was lost.

This is also the reason why Xie An obviously wanted to ask his army to besiege and kill Li Mao, the king of Yan, but he didn't dare to really implement it, after all, the Northern Xinjiang Army was hundreds of zhang away from the opposite side, and once the formation change of the Jizhou Army made a mistake, the Northern Xinjiang Army would never sit back and watch the fighters disappear.

[The most annoying,This kind of game of five or five......]

After thinking about it for a while, Xie An sighed secretly. Once upon a time, both he and the eldest grandson Xiangyu had used a trick on Liu Qing, which made him feel a little headache when this kind of thing happened to him.

Dilemma......

How to kill Li Mao, the king of Yan, without using the brigade as much as possible......

Facing the bait thrown by Yan King Li Mao and using himself as a bait, Xie An couldn't wait to swallow it in one bite, but he was afraid that he would not be able to swallow the other party in one bite, but would be bitten by the other party.

"My lord, that cavalry with an unknown banner is only ten miles away from here......"

Mo Fei, who appeared beside Xie An at some point, once again said in an extremely dignified tone.

[Annoying!] It's annoying! ]

Xie An's mood couldn't help but be a little impatient, he didn't know how to deal with Li Mao, the king of Yan, and another cavalry with an unknown banner ran out to cause chaos.

Thinking of this, Xie An called Tang Hao over, told Tang Hao about the approaching cavalry team who didn't know the details, and then said in a deep voice, "Contact the Jijing Imperial Court, open the city gate, and our army will enter the city for the time being!" ”

For the sake of prudence, Xie An finally chose to temporarily retreat to the capital of Jijing.

Tang Hao nodded when he heard this, and then asked later, "My lord, for the time being, retreat to the capital of Ji, so that the soldiers under his command can have time to rest, this is good, but Li Mao's side ......."

"Tell Fei Guo, Liao Li, and Di Bu to drag him! Don't want to kill Li Mao, just delay the time! ”

"Yes!"

"In addition, after the three partial divisions are left behind, the crossbowmen of my main division will retreat to the city first to assist the city defense of Jijing, if the Northern Xinjiang Army dares to take the opportunity to attack, the bow and crossbow will be greeted!"

"Order!"

Tang Hao clenched his fists and received the order, and within a moment, the Jizhou army successfully made contact with the head of Jizhou City.

"What? The Jizhou army wants to enter the city? ”

Hearing the news, everyone on the castle tower looked at each other.

Especially Liang Qiu Gong and Lu Gong, looking at each other, they were puzzled by this.

You must know that Jijing is already a lonely city at the moment, and the Jizhou army is not camped outside, and it is at odds with Jijing, what are you doing in the city?

As soon as reinforcements from the Northern Xinjiang Army arrived, they were surrounded on all sides, wouldn't they be beaten in vain, and they didn't even have any hope of escaping?

"Aid...... Army? As if he suddenly thought of something, Lu Gong's face changed slightly, and he muttered, "Could it be that Xie Xiaozi learned that the Northern Xinjiang Army or reinforcements are coming?" ”

Liang Qiugong's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he stroked his beard and muttered, "Well, if that's the case, then Xiao An will have only one way out of retreating into the city...... It's strange, are there any troops in the north? ”

Not to mention that Liang Qiugong, Lu Gong, Wen Qin and others thought hard about this matter, Li Shou, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, learned that Xie An wanted to lead the army into the city, and without saying a word, he opened the Fucheng Gate on the west side.

"Boom—"

The city gate, which weighed a thousand catties, slowly opened, and Li Mao, the king of Rao is Yan, was fighting with Fei Guo, Liao Li, and Di Bu, but he could see it clearly.

[The gates of Jizhou are open?] What's going on? Is the defenders in the city wanting to cooperate with the Jizhou army to attack our army, or is the Jizhou army preparing to retreat into the city? The former doesn't matter, but if it's the latter......]

From beginning to end, Yan Wang Li Mao, who had a calm complexion, flashed a trace of heterogeneity in his eyes, but this heterogeneity was captured by Liao Li, who had super intuition.

"Sure enough, there are ghosts!" Taking the opportunity to take a few steps back, Liao Li turned his head and glanced in the direction of Fuchengmen, where there was a rumbling sound, and when he looked at Yan Wang Li Mao again, the corners of his mouth raised a little inexplicable smile.

"I see...... It turns out that His Royal Highness King Yan still has an elite hidden so far! ”

"What?" Yan King Li Mao said quietly, but he was extremely shocked in his heart, shocked by Liao Li's incredible intuition and astuteness.

At the same time, Li Xian, the Eight Sages King who was silent beside Xie An, raised his head suddenly, and his eyes showed a bit of horror.

"If Xiao Wang's expectations are not bad, Li Mao ...... And a cavalry! ”
