A group of cavalry was walking through the fields. Everyone was looking around. From time to time, they would get off their horses and carefully examine the traces on the ground, or grab a handful of soil and crush it carefully. They seemed to be looking for something.

Li Yuan, the young man who was sent out by Qin Xiaotian to search for traces of the official cavalry, was standing in the field with a frown on his face.

He led 500 cavalry and followed the traces of the cavalry all the way to this place. But this morning, the traces of the cavalry had completely disappeared, as if they had been deliberately erased. In addition, it rained lightly two days ago, making it muddy.

The land covered everything, so it was even harder to find the whereabouts of the officers and soldiers.

"General Li, there are no traces. It is certain that a cavalry must have passed here a few days ago, but I can't tell which direction it went." Shen Shenghui, one of his captains, reported.

They searched the entire place but found no useful clues.

Li Yuan squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. This place is located at the junction of Shouyan Road and Tai'an Road. It is only seventy or eighty miles away from Yanzhou City. If the army was heading for Yanzhou City, they should have appeared long ago.

It's outside the city, but so far, the officers and soldiers have not appeared.

Where did they go?

Li Yuan, who had been pondering for a long time, suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Tai'an Road. He suddenly had an intuition that the group of officers and soldiers were not coming for them, but for Huang Ji's soldiers and horses on Tai'an Road!

Li Yuan no longer hesitated and shouted angrily: "Everyone, mount up!"

Since I can't think of a reason, I might as well lead my troops to take a look inside Tai'an Road.

Five hundred horsemen mounted their horses one after another, their movements uniform and uniform, which seemed a bit well-trained.

These five hundred men were Li Yuan's troops, and they had followed him on the battlefield many times.

Being able to command five hundred elite cavalry in the yellow-shirted army with few war horses was quite a bit of status. This was also because Ling Palace believed that he had the talent of a general, so he was given the command of five hundred cavalry at such a young age.

A group of cavalry headed towards the Tai'an Road. Less than twenty miles away, Li Yuan smelled something wrong and raised his hand:

"stop!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Before he finished speaking, a wave of arrows shot out from the woods next door.

"Be careful!" Li Yuan's expression suddenly changed, he drew his sword and swung it, blocking several incoming arrows.

"Dangdangdang~"

"Ahhh!"

Li Yuan's movements were fast enough, and his soldiers were also moving quickly. However, the wave of arrow rain was too dense, and dozens of the five hundred knights fell in the blink of an eye.

"Boom~"

"kill!"

The sound of horse hooves rumbled, and large groups of cavalry appeared in the dense forests on both sides and in front of the road, numbering in the thousands.

"Meet the enemy!" Li Yuan roared with a gloomy face.

"Click rub rub!"

Everyone drew their weapons.

What he had expected was indeed true. The target of the army was Tai'an Road. Looking at their posture, they might have defeated Huang Ji's troops.

Dugu Nan's figure slowly appeared in front of the team, and chuckled: "The response was pretty good, but it's a pity that you met me~"

An officer and soldier reined in his horse and roared angrily: "Thieves who are rebelling against the country, please dismount and capture them quickly, or you will be spared from death!"

But Li Yuan didn't make any move, he just looked at the officers and soldiers coldly.

"You're really stubborn!"

After saying that, Dugu Nan waved his hand gently:

"Leave no one behind~"

"kill!"

Qianqi rode forward at the same time.

Li Yuan did not show any weakness and shouted angrily: "Brothers, they all say that they will die before resurrecting. Today is a critical moment. Follow me and we will fight out together!"

"kill!"

The five hundred cavalry yellow-shirted troops were like a sharp arrow, led by Li Yuan and more than ten old soldiers, and plunged into the formation of officers and soldiers.

Dugu Nan stayed where he was and had no intention of taking action. He just narrowed his eyes and said, "Hey, the momentum is pretty good, much stronger than Huang Ji's gang!"

Huang Ji, who was captured alive by him, had been sent to the Fifth Heart Routing Department overnight, while Dugu Nan took advantage of the leaderless situation in Tai'an Road to divide his troops and attack everywhere. In just two days, Tai'an Road had already beaten him.

sieve.

"Dangdangdang~"

"Drink!"

Li Yuan's spear stabbed out one after another, knocking several officers off their horses and causing them to be covered in blood in the blink of an eye.

The five hundred cavalry behind him followed Li Yuan closely. Even though there were heavy casualties, no one fell behind. Because in the face of a heavy siege, falling behind meant certain death.

"Chi chi chi~"

After a fierce battle, Li Yuan finally broke out of the cavalry formation and ran wildly into the distance. More than half of his 500 cavalry had been destroyed.

Outside the battlefield, Dugu Nan's eyes remained on Li Yuan. This skilled general aroused his interest, but he still had no intention of taking action. He believed that these hundreds of rebels were not worth it.

He took action himself.

When he saw the Yellow Shirt Army's encirclement on the slope, he frowned involuntarily. The combat power of these people indeed exceeded his expectations.

"General!" A deputy general came to his side on Pegasus and said in a deep voice: "About two hundred cavalry are escaping. Do we need the last general to lead his troops in pursuit?"

Dugu Nan hesitated for a moment, shook his head slightly and said: "Forget it, it's just a fish that slipped through the net. Let's disrupt Tai'an Road as planned. Let these people live for a few more days~"

"promise!"

…

"What? The army's target is Tai'an Road?"

In Yanzhou City, Li Yuan, who returned injured, reported what he saw and heard to Qin Xiaotian in detail, and Qin Xiaotian's expression changed drastically.

In addition to Huang Ji's soldiers and horses, they only left 10,000 to 20,000 old and weak soldiers in Tai'an Road. They must not be opponents of the official army. So wouldn't Tai'an Road be in danger?

Qin Xiaotian walked around the room anxiously. What should he do now? Leave Yanzhou City to rescue Tai'an Road or stay put?

If they stand still, Tai'an Road will definitely be turned into a pot of porridge by the officers and soldiers, and they don't even know that Huang Ji has been defeated and captured.

Li Yuan's face also looked a little depressed. Unexpectedly, he guessed that the target of the army was not Yanzhou City.

"Li Yuan, what do you think we should do?"

Qin Xiaotian had no choice but to ask Ji Li Yuan. He found that Li Yuan's brain was really good, no wonder he was appreciated by Ling Palace.

Li Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The movements of the officers and soldiers are unknown. We are also confused about the situation in Tai'an Road at this moment. If our army leaves Yanzhou City rashly, we may encounter an ambush by the officers and soldiers. For our current plan, we can only rely on

Hold the city firmly, then report the battle situation to Mr. Ling, and wait for military orders.

As for Tai'an Road, we can only leave it to fate. General Huang also has four or five people there, so he won't be easily defeated by the army, right?"

"Okay, let's do it!"

Qin Xiaotian waved his hand and said: "Go write a military report and send it to Jiuchang Road as soon as possible!"
