After a while, a team of seven people returned and reported the spying information to Lu Ye who was waiting here.
As he expected, Qianliu City's foundation was indeed much stronger than Ding'an. The Black Turban Army had launched three offensives, but they had never been able to achieve decisive results. On the contrary, their own side had suffered considerable losses.
It is precisely because of this that the Black Turban team went to Ding'an to raise food and wages. However, they were destroyed by Lu Ye and attracted a thousand-man vanguard army. Most of them were still killed or injured.
It is precisely because of the intense fighting here that Heijin has no spare time to seek trouble in Ding'an.
At the moment, the Black Turban Army is resting, and it seems that they have no intention of giving up. This is normal. The Black Turban started out as bandits, and their development has been smooth sailing. Wherever they go, there are many precedents of cities voluntarily surrendering, but in the end, Qianliu
We lose our troops here and lose our generals.
How could the leader of the black scarf retreat like this? As long as he could capture Qianliu, all previous losses would be worth it.
Anyone in the position of the leader of the Black Turban would not retreat easily.
It is undoubtedly irrational to go to the trouble of the black scarf at this time. Although the more than a hundred people he brought are all cultivators, they are very few in number after all. They need to be dispatched at the right time to have the greatest effect.
After thinking about it, Lu Ye decided to wait for the opportunity, believing that the Black Turban would not let him wait too long.
Everyone was ordered to hide where they were, and he left alone. No one knew where he went, but he returned only half a day later.
As expected, Black Turban did not keep Lu Ye waiting for too long, but two days later, everyone who was resting vaguely felt some strange movements coming from the direction of Qianliu City.
Lu Ye immediately leaned down and put his ear to the ground, listening carefully.
After a moment, he raised his brows and shouted: "Ready!"
After hearing the order, more than a hundred people immediately stood ready.
"Mount!" Lu Ye ordered again.
Everyone got on their horses, their movements were uniform, and their expressions were solemn.
"Let's go!" Lu Ye glanced at them, took the lead, and headed towards Qianliu.
At this moment, the black turban army was attacking the city. Huge flaming stones pierced the sky under the action of the throwers, or smashed on the city walls, or fell into the city.
The thick city wall was full of potholes, and there were many damaged areas inside the city. Dead and injured people could be seen everywhere. Near the city wall, there was a scene of purgatory.
After half an hour of stone throwing, and another half hour of arrow rain, the Black Turbans launched a massive attack on the city.
A tide of bandit troops came forward, shouting and killing each other. Some were holding up simple ladders, while others were holding shields in front of them. They were menacing.
Qianliu had resisted such an attack several times, so he was naturally familiar with it this time.
The most intense battle between the two sides was at the section of the city wall where the east gate was located. Many times, the Black Turban Army bravely climbed up the city wall with the help of ladders, but they were all cut down to the ground by the Qianliu defenders.
In the gate tower above the east gate, the Lord of Qianliu City stood there with a solemn expression to express his thanks. The sergeants came hurriedly one by one, reporting on the battle situation. He gave orders in a few words, and the sergeants left quickly.
Qianliu has been able to sustain itself under the Black Turban's offensive until now, not only because of the city's strong foundation, but also because of Xie Li's overall planning.
It can be said that without Xie Li, Qianliu City would never be able to survive now.
He looked at the menacing black scarf below, and clearly judged that the black scarf could only support this offensive. As long as this time was blocked, the black scarf would retreat, and Qianliu would have a chance to breathe.
But he had no idea whether he could stop it. In such a war, there were too many factors that affected the situation. Even if he had extremely high military literacy, he could not completely influence the direction of the war.
We can only do our best and obey destiny.
The face of a young man couldn't help but appear in his mind.
That was a young man he had never seen before. He suddenly came to visit two days ago and approached him, claiming to be from Ding'an City, hundreds of miles away.
At that time, the two parties briefly talked for a while, allowing him to understand some of the other party's arrangements.
He knew that he couldn't count on external forces at this time, but he still couldn't help but look forward to it. If there was a surprise attack, it should appear at this time, right?
He turned his eyes and scanned the entire battlefield, but what disappointed him was that all the fields in his field of vision were black scarves, and there were no surprise soldiers at all...
This made me wonder whether the scene two days ago actually happened, because after the young man left, he specifically ordered his subordinates to follow him secretly, but in the blink of an eye he disappeared.
The other party appeared mysteriously and then disappeared like a ghost.
"What's over there?" A man dressed as a counselor next to him suddenly asked in surprise.
Xie Li followed the direction of his gaze and vaguely saw some small black dots approaching rapidly in that direction. His expression changed and he immediately activated his spiritual power to bless his eyes.
The vision became slightly clearer.
"Cavalry?" Xie Li frowned. He saw that a cavalry suddenly came over there. Although the leader could not be seen clearly, he vaguely resembled the young man he saw two days ago.
However, the number of this cavalry is not large, only about a hundred.
Xie Li looked behind the cavalry, but saw nothing.
Could this be the surprise soldier that the young man mentioned, right? Even if a hundred people were all capable of cultivation, what could they do on such a battlefield?
At most, you can charge and kill a few times in the battle formation, and you will have no choice but to be slaughtered when your spiritual power is exhausted.
"Sir, is this the man in black scarf?" the counselor asked.
Xie Li shook his head. He was not sure where the cavalry came from, but looking at their posture, it was obvious that they were going straight to the rear of the black scarf.
While watching, Black Turban clearly spotted the cavalry, and immediately a team of 500 people came forward to meet them, quickly approaching each other.
Xie Li paid close attention for a moment, knowing that he would soon be able to determine the position of this cavalry, whether it was an enemy or a friend, just by looking at the encounter between the two parties.
Ten breaths later, the two teams collided, and Xie Li couldn't help but his expression changed.
Because the two teams instantly fell into a fight, the cavalry team rushing in from a distance was like a long arrow, piercing through the black turban's 500-man army formation, and continued to charge without looking back.
In this round alone, hundreds of five hundred people died, and they were unable to stop the cavalry for even a moment. Wherever the cavalry passed, the black scarf troops fell like straw.
The counselor was surprised and said: "Where did these people come from? With a small number of people, they are overwhelmingly powerful. The leader is definitely a man of great cultivation. Most of the team must be well-educated."
"Ding'an!" Xie Li's eyes were bright and he finally confirmed that what happened two days ago really happened. The elusive young man came and brought a cavalry. The only thing that made people feel regretful was that the number was too small.
.
"People from Ding'an?" The counselor suddenly realized after hearing this: "I heard that the black scarf went to disturb Ding'an before, but was defeated and defeated. It seems that Ding'an also knows the truth of death and coldness. This should be just the vanguard, Ding'an's army.
I'm afraid they will arrive soon." Thinking of this, the counselor became excited. If the Ding'an army could attack the Black Turban from behind and attack Qianliu from both inside and outside, there would really be hope of defeating the Black Turban in one fell swoop.
As he spoke, the counselor was startled again: "What are they going to do?"
Without him, in his field of vision, the cavalry team that was originally lined up in a straight line suddenly changed their formation. More than a hundred people formed a vector shape, aiming straight at the hinterland of the black scarf army.
The counselor could hardly bear to look at it. Even if this cavalry team had shown strong mobility and destructive power before, it should not take such a risk.
Their most correct approach should be to hunt on the edge of the Black Turban Army instead of going straight into the hinterland like this, because it is too risky. Once the momentum of the attack is blocked, there will be enemies on all sides, and no one will be able to attack them.
To survive such a siege, unless they can maintain a strong offensive momentum.
Xie Li also couldn't figure out what this cavalry team was going to do. In his opinion, the other party's approach was completely suicidal.
Thousands of miles away, Lu Ye took the lead and issued an order: "Follow closely!"
The entire cavalry team, except for him, everyone looked nervous and uneasy. Although they all had good cultivation, no one had done such a crazy thing before. Xie Li and the counselor could see it.
, they are naturally more aware that if they fall behind, they will die, so everyone is very energetic.
The only thing that gives them a sense of security at the moment is the fusion of energy drawn by the formation disk. Under the influence of the formation disk, they can clearly feel that their own spiritual power consumption is very small, which undoubtedly means that their
The battery life is several times stronger than usual.
The real collision broke out at this moment. Everyone followed Lu Ye's body and charged forward regardless. Screams of pain filled their ears one after another, and the smell of blood was extremely pungent.
Then everyone was surprised to discover one thing, that is, the speed of the entire cavalry team has not slowed down at all from the beginning. No matter how many enemies are blocking the front, the cavalry team of more than a hundred people is like an indestructible arrow.
All those who were hit were killed or injured on the spot.
Along the way, I cut through the waves, and there were corpses everywhere along the way.
In less than half a cup of tea, the cavalry had already charged into the belly of the black scarf army, but the offensive still showed no sign of being hindered. It seemed that what was intercepting them in front was not the infamous black scarf army, but some cats and dogs.
Are we so strong? The cavalrymen who followed Lu Ye here couldn't help but have strange thoughts in their minds. Although they knew that with that magical array, they could exert strength far beyond their own cultivation, no one expected that they would be like this
In the war, their charge was so smooth.
It turns out... we are really that strong!
Just a black scarf, a clown!
With the change of thoughts, the will gradually became firmer, and all the previous uneasiness disappeared. The cavalry completely let go of its hands and feet. In an instant, the black scarf suffered more casualties.
