Chapter 1878 The siege begins
"What's wrong, why are you just so many people?"
As more and more cavalrymen came to the city, Liu Chun noticed that the number of these cavalrymen under the city was far less than the five hundred cavalry sent out.
The people under the city did not even have a fraction of the cavalry sent out.
"Maybe it's behind! And the thief army is not that easy to deal with, and some casualties are inevitable." Wu Zimian said next to him.
Liu Chun said with distress: "There are too many casualties."
Among the 500 cavalry sent out of the city, most of them were from Yulin Guards. The fewer people came back, the more casualties there were.
The cavalry under the city began to call the door and wanted to enter the city.
"I once ordered the general to open the city gate and let people outside the city enter the city." Wu Zimian ordered the guard of Zhenyuan Gate.
The guard of Zhenyuan Gate agreed and turned around and took the people to open the city gate.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, there were sounds of horse hooves outside the city, and even those standing on the walls felt the blue bricks under their feet shaking.
"Is this the others back?" Liu Chun hesitated and looked at the dark place outside the city.
A large number of horse hooves came from that direction.
Wu Zimeng smiled and said, "You were worried that too many people sent out were killed or injured. Look, they are all back."
"Is it really our cavalry?" Li Kaiyang poked out of the city wall, feeling something was wrong in his heart.
Wu Zimeng laughed and said, "It's not our cavalry, is it still the cavalry among the bandits?"
As he said that, he laughed a few times.
"No, don't open the city gate. It's the thief cavalry, and the thief cavalry that comes." Liu Chun noticed that the cavalry waiting in front of the city gate suddenly rode horses along both sides of the city wall and immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Stop kidding, the thief camp has already been in chaos because of our sneak attacks. How could it be that it would come to the city?" Wu Zimian waved his hand disapprovingly.
When he thought, the attack on the camp was very successful, and it was impossible for bandits to chase him.
"It's really a thief." Li Kaiyang suddenly said.
When Wu Zimian heard this, he paused. Seeing that even Li Kaiyang said this, he became serious and hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound of horse hooves came.
After seeing this, I suddenly became stunned.
In the originally dark place, cavalry came out from inside and appeared in front of the city gate.
Although I can't see clearly, it is easy to tell from the armor that the cavalry that came to the city this time were not the cavalry sent out from Yulin City.
"Catch people back quickly and tell them not to open the city gate. There are thieves in front of the city gate." Wu Zimian remembered the Zhenyuan Gate guard who he sent to open the city gate, and hurriedly sent someone to chase the people back.
A personal soldier chased him in the direction where the defender of Zhenyuan Gate left.
"It seems that the attack camp has failed." Liu Chun said with an ugly expression.
Wu Zimian clasped his palm tightly on the blue bricks beside the merceration, and a few fingers that were pinching the blue bricks turned pale because they tried too hard.
"As long as you don't open the city gate, the thieves outside the city will not be able to enter." Li Kaiyang said from the side.
Now, he is in a good mood.
However, in order to prevent being discovered, he tried his best to endure the joy in his heart and try his best to make himself look as disappointed as the other two people around him.
"The cavalry we sent to attack the camp have already entered the thief camp, how could it fail!" Liu Chun slapped on the blue bricks at the mercedes' mouth with a depressed slap.
The fire in the direction of the bandit army camp could not be done, and he couldn't understand why the situation suddenly reversed.
At this time, the guard of Zhenyuan Gate ran back.
"The city gate was not opened, right?" Wu Zimian asked hurriedly when he saw him come back.
The guard of Zhenyuan Gate said: "Report to the general, when the last general was about to open the city gate, he found a large number of strange cavalry gathered outside the city gate, so he did not dare to open the city gate."
"It's good if you don't open the city gate. The thief cavalry comes outside the city. If you really want to open the city gate and put the thief cavalry into the city, I and you will be offended by the court." Wu Zimian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the city gate was not opened.
As long as the city gate is not opened, the cavalry outside the city cannot enter the city at all.
"Send arrows to the city, don't let these thieves block the city gate." Liu Chun ordered the guard of Zhenyuan Gate.
The guard of Zhenyuan Gate looked up at Wu Zimian.
Wu Zimian said, "As General Liu said, let the archers on the city wall shoot arrows and kill these thieves outside the city."
"Yes." The guard of Zhenyuan Gate turned around and ran away.
The sound of bowstrings quickly sounded on the city wall.
However, the cavalry outside the city failed to enter the city and did not block the city gate at all. They soon disappeared from outside Yulin City into the vast night.
"It's a pity that our people were unable to enter the city, otherwise we could also ask clearly what was going on. We didn't have to kill into the thief camp, why did we fail?" Liu Chun said hatefully.
"It's better to take a look at Guangyu Gate. Maybe our cavalry will enter the city from Guangyu Gate in the north." Li Kaiyang suggested on the side.
He also wanted to know what these cavalry had encountered outside the city.
"Just send the people below." Wu Zimian said, "You two have worked hard all night. Follow me to go back to the General's Mansion to rest first. When you enter the city, you will take them directly to the General's Mansion."
After staying up for such a long time, the two of them really felt a little tired.
Especially when the camp failed, the enthusiasm in his heart subsided and he became tired, so no one opposed it and returned to the General's Mansion with Wu Zimian.
The three of them returned to the General's Mansion and waited for a while, but they did not wait for the cavalry who went to the camp outside the city to come back. They sent several servants from the General's Mansion who had visited the city gate to check the situation and brought back the news that no one had entered the city.
The experienced people naturally could guess that the reason why no one came back was that they were chased by the thief cavalry and did not dare to return to Yulin City.
After struggling all night, it was almost dawn outside, and Li Kaiyang and Liu Chun stayed in the General's Mansion.
The two lived in two adjacent rooms.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
The sleeping Li Kaiyang was knocked on the door outside.
He opened his eyes and said in a daze to the person knocking outside: "What's the matter?"
"The thief army has attacked the city. My master asked General Li to go to the hall to discuss matters." The person outside the door said outside.
Li Kaiyang was shocked when he heard this, and his sleepiness subsided.
He hurriedly put on his clothes, and he walked out of the room without even caring about washing his face.
It happened that Liu Chun also walked out of the room.
"Please ask the two generals to go to the hall with the youngest." The servants of the general's mansion guarding the corridor outside the door saw the two people leaving the house, and hurriedly called the two people to go to the hall to meet Wu Zimian.
The servant walked in front to lead the way, and Li Kaiyang and Liu Chun followed behind.
