Chapter 970 Guerrilla

On a hillside two or three miles outside Luoyun City, dozens of Cavalry Soldiers and Scouts were sitting on the ground bored. The war horses were tied casually to the side. The scorching sun made the war horses' heads droop and lacked energy.

The mission of the Yan army scouts these days is very simple, which is to monitor the movements of the Liang army in Luoyun City and report back immediately as long as a large army comes out of the city.

As for the small group of Liang Army crossbowmen who quietly came out, they turned a blind eye or let them pass. If they had the upper hand, they would start a fight.

"Boss, the weather here is too hot. If you stay here all day, it will be so hot that it will kill you."

A Yan soldier was swinging an empty water bottle. He had already finished the bottle of water just half a day after he came out. The sweat on his head rolled down like rain, and his military uniform was already wet.

This Yan Jun soldier looked like a new recruit at first glance, and he couldn't control the amount of water he drank well.

Despite this, the soldiers still felt dry in the mouth and as if their throats were on fire. What they wanted most now was to jump into the river and take a refreshing cold bath.

The leading commander swallowed, but was still reluctant to drink the remaining water. He muttered dissatisfiedly: "What can I do? We are born to endure hardship."

"Oh, you are really unlucky for eight lifetimes. Wouldn't it be nice to just lie down comfortably in the camp?"

"There is no way to fight like this. Liang Jun is not a fool. How could he come out in this hot weather? Let me tell you, let's just find a cool place to stay tomorrow. No one knows about it anyway." A young man said.

At one o'clock, Yan Bing started shouting.

"That's right, don't talk about starting a war today. Just standing still will make you sweat and fart."

A group of military men sitting around the commander were talking to each other, saying that they could no longer stand the hot summer.

They told them all the ways to avoid military duties and be lazy.

The commander's face turned dark and he cursed: "Why, you bastards don't want to live anymore? If the higher ups find out, none of our heads will be saved!"

Hearing the scolding from the supervisor, everyone lowered their heads dejectedly. No one knew when these days would come to an end. They might as well go out and fight Liang Jun with real swords and guns.

"Gulu~"

Finally, a veteran couldn't stand the heat any longer. He carefully opened the kettle and took a sip.

But before he swallowed the clear water, he looked straight at Luoyun City in the distance.

It seemed that the closed city gate was opened. No, not only was it opened, but a group of black-armored cavalry came out.

The veteran didn't know whether he was fainted from the sun or something else. He didn't believe his eyes and rubbed his eye sockets several times.

"Pfft~"

He squirted out the cold water he had just drank in his mouth. He stretched out his finger in the direction of Luoyun City and shouted tremblingly: "Liang, Liang's army is out!"

The leader was stunned and turned his head instantly. When he saw a large number of black-armored cavalry rushing out of the city, his face was horrified and he shouted angrily: "Mount the horse!"

Unexpectedly, Liang Jun would actually leave the city on such a hot day. Commander Biao thought about returning to the camp immediately to report the news.

Dozens of Yan soldiers, who were sitting or lying down, scrambled to their feet and climbed onto their horses in a panic.

Something happened that made them desperate. Hundreds of riders from the Liang army who were leaving the city accelerated and rushed straight towards them.

"Damn it. Let's go!" Commander Biao looked horrified. Is it possible that so many Liang soldiers came out of the city just for them?

Not really.

Unfortunately, the Yan army's horses had been basking in the sun for most of the day and had long since lost their energy and energy. They were running very slowly, and the Liang army was already approaching, and they could even clearly hear the sound of the horse's hooves.

These Yan army scouts did not dare to turn around to attack, so they could only gallop on their horses. If they turned around and attacked, they would definitely die. If they tried to escape, they might still have a chance to survive.

The commander didn't even pull out his machete, he just whipped the horse's back crazily.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

A shower of arrows accurately fell into the Yan army's formation, and more than ten cavalrymen including the captain fell off their horses in an instant, and then hundreds of Liangjun cavalry rushed past.

In just a blink of an eye, these dozens of riders turned into dead bodies on the ground. Apart from the slowly flowing blood and the clear water dripping from the water bladder, there was no movement at all.

The cavalry of the Zhenliao Army who suddenly left the city turned around and headed straight for the Yan Army's camp on the banks of the Yishui River.

In a corner where no one noticed, two hundred mounted crossbowmen disappeared in a blink of an eye, breaking away from the large army and sprinting towards the distance, not knowing where to go.



The sky was getting dark, and the scorching sun finally set on the top of the mountain, but the hot air still filled the sky and the earth.

Not far from the south side of the Yishui River, the figures of Zhou Weiran and Wanyan Bi appeared on a slope. Under the slope were lying scattered the corpses of the Yan army, about a hundred of them.

Today, the Liang army suddenly rushed here. They did not attack the Yan army's camp. They just killed all the Yan army's rangers on patrol and then turned around and withdrew. By the time the cavalry in the Yan army's camp rushed here, the Liang army had already withdrawn.

Entered Luoyun City.

Zhou Weiran frowned and looked at the battlefield, and asked unhappily: "How many people from the Liang army came out?"

"About two thousand, the troops are divided into two groups to surround and suppress our scouts." A deputy general bowed and replied.

Zhou Weiran said unhappily: "What do the generals who lead the army do? Two thousand people are so panicked? Can they still lead the troops? If they can't lead the troops, they will be replaced!"

The deputy general said bitterly: "The Liang army moved too fast, coming and going like the wind, and they had no intention of fighting with us. As soon as our cavalry moved, they would immediately retreat, as slippery as loaches."

"It's all excuses!"

While Zhou Weiran was reprimanding his generals, another soldier walked up to Wanyanbi and whispered a few words. After hearing this, Wanyanbi raised his brows a few times and waved his hand to let him retreat.

Zhou Weiran scolded him for a while, and finally dismissed the lieutenant impatiently. He turned to look at Wanyan Bi and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any news?"

Wanyan Bixu squinted his eyes and said: "One-third of the scouts guarding outside the city have been lost. Anyone who encounters the Liang army will basically die."

"Where is Liang Jun? Where did he go?"

Zhou Weiran didn't care about the life or death of those scouts, he only cared about the purpose of the Liang army who suddenly left the city.

Wanyan Bi spread his hands and said, "Everyone has returned to the city."

"All of them have returned to the city? That shouldn't be the case." Zhou Weiran murmured.

When the Liang army left the city, they did not storm their own camp, nor did they take a detour to Hemu Dawu. Could it be that they went out of the city in large numbers just to kill a few scouts?

"It's indeed weird." Wanyan Bi also nodded: "I'm afraid this Prince Liang is up to something wrong again. We need to get some snacks."

Zhou Weiran said in a deep voice: "Let the army be on alert, and the scouts who come forward will try their best to find out the movements of Liang's army. Let's have a good time with King Liang!"
