It was another safe morning, and the soldiers on night guard at the head of the city yawned and rubbed their sleepy eyes, secretly rejoicing in their hearts.

As the guards of the border towns of the Eastern Dynasty, the task of these people is also not easy, especially since Hou Jing's rebellion, they are guarding against the sneak attack from the west, and they have to be vigilant against the back road, and their hearts are under great pressure.

Some of the guards here are the elite Jinyang soldiers stationed in Jinyang, and some are the local people of Heluo. But no matter what their origins were, in order to prevent them from escaping and joining the enemy, a military order was issued many days ago to move their wives and children's homes to the rear of the city, and at the same time, they could defend the city without distraction.

It was not until the sky was bright for a while, and the smoke rising from the city had already dissipated, and the guards who had changed guards arrived at the top of the city belatedly. The already hungry soldiers at the head of the city were able to disarm and disarm, and each walked down the city to go home for dinner.

Soon however, this calm was shattered, and with the eager and noisy sound of drums and horns at the outpost posts, a group of armored soldiers was running along the valley from the east, and as they went, they kept shouting and screaming for murder.

Some of the guards scattered along the river valley had no time to withdraw to the city, and they were cut down to the ground by these sudden enemy soldiers, and the bloody scene suddenly made people's hearts beat faster and their spirits tense.

"What's going on? How did these enemies come from the east? Could it be that the castle has been ......?"

The guards who had just ascended to the top of the city were also shocked at this moment, although there were only a few hundred enemy soldiers they saw, but because the enemy attack happened too suddenly, and the enemy appeared in an unexpected position, they couldn't help but panic for a while.

At this time, one of the governors of the city will quickly ascend to the top of the city, look down for a moment, and then shout loudly, "Quick, hurry to warn the wolf!"

There are many peaks and mountains in the Kunshan Mountain Range, and the effect of wolf smoke warning is actually not very good, but it is also one of the few methods that can quickly transmit military emergency reports to friendly troops in the distance.

While the enemy continued to rush towards the city, many defenders quickly climbed to the top of the city under the guidance and urging of the commanders, but it would take some time to establish an effective defensive counterattack front.

Because in the past period of time, they were mainly guarding against the enemy from the upper reaches of the valley in the west, so the bows, blades, civil and other equipment and materials were mostly stored in the west of the city in case the enemy attacked directly, but they did not want the enemy to kill from the east, although the number was not large, but the poorly arranged east gate seemed to be exposed in front of the enemy.

"It is necessary to guard against the suspicious tactics of the thief army, just take enough equipment and materials, and don't transport them out indiscriminately!"

A short and stout general with a saber in his hand quickly came to the warehouse in the west of the city, and shouted loudly to the commanders who led the soldiers to come here to get the ordnance, this person is the general of the town and city here, his name is Xu Wei, he is an experienced veteran of Beizhen, and he did not mess up because of this sudden enemy attack, and he still has a plan in his heart, and he quickly thought of a possibility.

Before this person's voice fell, as if in response to him, there was a loud warning outside the city to the west. Xu Wei's face also changed after hearing this, and while ordering the generals to supervise the use of ordnance here, he ordered people to continue to gather the soldiers in the city to stand by, and he quickly climbed to the head of Xicheng.

The west side was the key position of the defenders, and even a garrison was set up at the mouth of the valley where the valley was grown, and 300 soldiers were stationed there to resist the enemy.

Therefore, although the warning sound has been issued for a while, there is still no trace of the enemy in the field of vision, but from the increasingly rapid and dense warning drum, Xu Wei can hear that there are quite a few enemies.

Taking advantage of the fact that the invading enemy was still blocked at the Xigu fort, Xu Wei hurriedly ordered a group of soldiers to go out and deal with the trenches, fences and other fortifications in front of the city gate.

As a slightly sharp cracking sound sounded, the sound of the police drum stopped abruptly, and Xu Wei, who was still busy directing the internal and external defense of the soldiers, was suddenly shocked: "...... so fast."

Although the sound of the drums was gone, the valley was not quiet, but instead there was a loud echo of shouts and killings in the valley, and the soldiers in the west of the city looked to the west with wide eyes, and the first thing that caught their eyes was hundreds of light horsemen with bows.

This cavalry formation is limited to the river valley

The terrain is not dense and vast, but the momentum is fast, and it only takes a few dozen breaths to cross the distance of several miles.

When they rushed to the bottom of the city, some of the guards did not have time to retreat into the city. Although the hedged ditch intercepted their momentum, the arrows they shot pierced through the space in an instant, killing several of the guards who retreated in panic under the walls.

The soldiers formed outside the city, and the rear division led by Li Tai also moved quickly towards it, and when he saw the ditches and fences outside the city gate, Li Tai immediately frowned.

The fortifications outside the city were very well built, and the criss-crossing moats made it almost impossible to rush under the city walls with a complete road, which shows that the defending generals were determined to defend the city, and did not consider going out of the city to attack the enemy, attacking and defending both and leaving a passage to advance and retreat.

Moreover, on the side of the city facing the valley river, there are two sturdy wooden horses that extend from under the city wall to the turbulent valley river, separating the east and west from being surrounded by people.

Although the previous plan was to achieve a quick victory, in the face of such a defense, it could only move forward step by step.

While ordering the rear road to vacate empty carts and asking the soldiers to load the earth and stones in sacks, and using these earth and stone vehicles as weirs to block the flow of water from the valley into the trenches, Li Tai ordered a group of soldiers to march along the river, trying to cut down the wooden stakes to block the horses, and open the east-west road.

But most of these horses were within the range of the arrow tower, and as soon as the foot soldiers approached the past, a shower of arrows fell on the horse-faced city tower protruding from the city wall.

Seeing that the attack could not be carried out urgently, Li Tai first ordered the brigade to line up here, bulldozing those trenches and fences one by one, and building siege equipment such as ladders and chariots. Fortunately, the mountains and forests are dense, and tall timber abounds, so it is difficult to cut down, and it is convenient to use local materials.

[In view of the general environment,

The guard Xu Wei saw that although the enemy's offensive was blocked, he was still advancing steadily and in an orderly manner, and his mood was also a little heavy.

Seeing that the smoke at the head of the city was not high enough to be blown away by the agitated mountain wind above, it was obvious that the news could not be transmitted to a distance, so Xu Wei planned to concentrate the superior forces in the city first to deal with the restless enemy army in the east of the city.

He summoned more than 300 strong soldiers in the city to put on their armor and assemble in the city gate, first ordered the soldiers at the head of the city to shoot back a little through a round of strong bows and fierce shots of those enemy soldiers who were wandering under the city wall looking for loopholes, and then ordered the city gate to be opened, and more than 300 elite horsemen rushed out of the city and rushed towards the enemy soldiers.

Although He Ruodun said fiercely, but he is not a brave and unscrupulous reckless man, after sneaking into this place with Han Xiong, he has already observed the terrain near the left before officially appearing, Han Xiong formed a formation in the valley on the northern slope, he led the crowd around the city to disturb, seeing the guards with strong bows to cover the shot, he already knew the police in his heart, and ordered his subordinates to run directly to the north, and he led several elite soldiers to the palace.

Two legs could not outrun four legs, and although He Ruodun saw the opportunity early, the enemy's light cavalry rushed out quickly, and soon closed the distance between them.

He Ruodun, who was behind the team, was not in a hurry, and directly drew an arrow from the back of his waist Hu Lu and shot the bow, and the strength of the arrow shot out in an instant, and when the arrow feather stopped again, the front loss had been firmly inserted into the chest of an enemy rider in the front, and the enemy rider still rushed out of Zhangyu by inertia, and then rolled down from the horse's hip.

One arrow kills a pawn is not all Horodun's skills, the former has not yet hit the target, the latter flies out again, the two arrows are not far apart, almost at the same time hit the target, and the two enemy pawns are directly shot.

"Good archery!"

Although Han Xiong, who led the soldiers to the north, was a little angry that He Ruodun was too arrogant, he couldn't help but high-five him after seeing this scene.

He Ruodun had no time to respond at this time, as soon as he entered the battle array, he had a strong bow in his hand, compared to usual, it seemed to be a different person, the two losses had not reached the limit of his skills, and the next three losses were taken, and his body was like a tight bowstring, and he didn't care about the result after the last loss was lost, and jumped up directly.

He grabbed the saddle of a galloping horse that had rushed in front of him,

Pushed the knight who had not fallen off his horse, drew his saber and slammed it directly at another knight nearby, forcibly pulled the horse's head, and took advantage of the vacancy vacated by shooting a few people before, and directly rushed the galloping horse out of its inherent momentum, killing people and seizing the horse in one go, and with his own strength, the entire cavalry team was more than a mile away, and failed to rush straight to Han Xiong and the other steps.

When the cavalry on the rear road realized that something was wrong, the flanks had been exposed in front of the infantry formation, Han Xiong and the others had watched He Ruodun's performance before, and at this time their blood was also surging, and they each stabbed the spears in their hands, and the blow with full strength and the inertia of the galloping horse's side charge, in an instant, more than a dozen cavalrymen were pierced or swept down from the side.

Han Xiong, who was already the leading general in western Henan, took advantage of this gap in the enemy cavalry and roared, and the long lance in his hand slanted towards the spur, piercing the three horses under a blow, so that the enemy cavalry formation was interrupted by the waist, and the back road was turned over because of this.
