Liu Yu looked at the knights behind Zhai Zhao. Although their horses were not wearing [.] armor, they were at least covered with a layer of hard leather armor. Many of them were also wearing pierced armor and carried thick wood on their backs.
The weapons in the hands of the cavalry shields are not like the thin iron knives of ordinary Ding Ling cavalry, but are mostly long weapons such as maces and spears. There are even hundreds of people holding them as far as the eye can see.
Although it is still inferior to the real well-equipped heavy cavalry, compared with the previous Ding Ling horse bandit, it has long been upgraded from shotgun to cannon. It is no wonder that Zhai Zhao dared to face Murong.
The courage of the cavalry in battle.
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "It seems that your cavalry can be called elite. However, even such equipment is inferior to Murong Chui's armored cavalry. This time you can defeat Murong Chui."
Can the cavalry led by me really win head-on?"
Zhai Zhao's face turned slightly red: "Well, I'm not afraid of your jokes. We still used an ambush to intercept Murong Chui in a canyon. He was in a hurry to come back for help. I didn't know it was a trick, but he was killed by us in just one encounter.
We had nearly a thousand cavalry, but the rest could not break through the front of our army. Coupled with our bluff and the smoke and dust in the sky, Murong Chui did not know how many men and horses we had come. After fighting for more than half an hour, we turned around and retreated north."
Liu Yu nodded: "I see. However, even if Murong Chui really evacuates, Yecheng cannot be easily entered now, for fear that there is a scam in the city."
Zhai Zhao's expression changed and he looked at Lu Xun: "Taoist Master Lu, are you serious about this?"
Lu Xun was also a little surprised and looked at Liu Yu: "You didn't say there was a problem in Ye City just now. The people in the city fled, fireworks were everywhere in the city, and the city gates were wide open. These are all indisputable facts. There can't be an ambush."
Liu Yu sighed: "Before, I asked Murong Lan to go back and persuade the defenders in the city to abandon the city and promise not to pursue them. If successful, Murong Lan would plant the Jin flag at the south gate to show that the defenders had evacuated. Now South
There was no flag raised at the door, which is inconsistent with the agreement."
Zhai Zhao curled his lips in disdain: "These are just trivial matters. Maybe the enemy troops retreated in a hurry and there was no Jin army flag. When I came along, I saw tens of thousands of people fleeing in all directions. Many people behind me
My brothers are making random arrests. If there are still defenders in the city, how can these residents escape?"
Liu Yu frowned: "Then have you ever seen the Yan** team evacuate along the way?"
Zhai Zhao shook his head: "No, but even if the army escapes, they may put on civilian clothes and flee. There are thousands of defenders in Yecheng District. Once they leave Jiancheng, it is normal for them to abandon their armor and run away. Liu Yu, you have nothing to do
I have many experiences in attacking abandoned cities that have fled, so there will be no problem. If there were defenders in the city, this would never be the case."
Liu Jingxuan also nodded and said: "This is the capital of Yan after all. I think that even if Murong Chui is here in person, it is impossible to use Ye City to lure the enemy. Moreover, we just saw that some Xianbei people are also fleeing.
, even if they give up the Han and Di people, they cannot give up their own people. You must know that the families of these people are serving in the army on the front line. If their families in the rear are not protected, the soldiers on the front line will also be dispersed."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "I still think we should be cautious. Murong Lan is such a shrewd and excellent spy. Since she said she would raise the Jin flag, she would definitely have her subordinates in Ye City ready. Even if she retreats,
Wanbu, without these military flags, she would have personally climbed up to the south gate to greet us. Now the outer city looks empty, and the inner city does not know the reality. If you enter rashly, you may be ambushed. The last battle at Wuqiaozawa
, the Yan army used baggage to lure our army into being deceived. We must not fall into the trap again this time."
Zhai Zhao sneered and said: "Liu Yu, everyone says how brave and heroic you are, but today it seems that you are nothing more than that. Maybe you lost so badly last time that you were so frightened that you didn't even dare to enter the empty city.
Anyway, according to the agreement, we Ding Ling warriors have to enter the city first to get back what belongs to us. Since you dare not enter the city, we will go in first."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, I made an agreement with Taoist Lu, but we will all enter the city together and no killing is allowed. As for the property in the treasury, we will eventually give it to you Dingling people. This is Yecheng.
If we massacre and loot the central city in the north, how will we rule in the future?"
Zhai Zhao laughed: "Of course the money in the treasury belongs to us, but it is also our right to clean up the remaining enemies after the siege. Didn't you say there is an ambush in the city and there are still enemy troops? Now we will enter the city to kill the enemies.
This is no problem. Also, Liu Yu, we are just allies now. I am not your subordinate. We Ding Ling warriors were born free and are the proud sons of heaven. No one can control us, not even Murong Chui, nor you.
no!"
As he spoke, without even looking at Liu Yu, he turned around and rode away. With his roar, thousands of Ding Ling cavalry turned their heads happily and headed towards the west gate.
Liu Jingxuan whispered: "Send slaves, the soldiers finally arrived at Yecheng, but they saw that the city was empty and they were all beaten by Ding Ling. I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the crowd. My father's military order also asked me to seize Yecheng.
It cannot fall into the hands of others. If the Ding Ling people destroy this place too much, I will not be able to explain it to my father in the future."
Lu Xun said coldly: "There are various classics and collections of books since the Han Dynasty in Ye City. They were all destroyed by these Ding Ling barbarians. That is a huge loss for our Han family. It is difficult for us descendants to face our ancestors. No matter you
Agreed or not, my people are going to the city."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Believe me, something is really wrong. With Murong Chui's ability, how could he be repelled by the Ding Ling people? This is the capital to defend him. Even if he is ambushed, he will definitely come with separate troops, and Zhai
Zhao didn't encounter Hou Yan's army along the way. Even if Murong Bao and the others wanted to retreat, it would be impossible for all their men to escape in such a short time. There must be something wrong in the city. Zhai Zhao wants to die and I can't stop him. But for your safety, I
We must be responsible. Let’s seize the gate of the southern city first, observe the situation in the city, and then make a decision! What do you think?”
Lu Xun and Liu Jingxuan looked at each other, and Liu Jingxuan said: "Jinu, I always listen to you, so I'll just follow your orders. However, if there is really no ambush in the city, then we have to enter the city."
Lu Xun said coldly: "You must be wasting your time, that's fine, just for once, but if the Ding Ling people destroy everything that can be robbed and burned in the city, you will also be responsible for all the consequences!
