Chapter 595 Who is playing this game of chess?

"Boom!"

Following a roar from below the tower, Jing Li looked desperately at the wave of Mobei soldiers below. The imperial city was finally broken!

"Commander, the city gate...is broken!!"

"I saw it."

Jing Li's expression was extremely depressed. He knelt down on one knee, breathing heavily. He held the sword in one hand and whispered: "Send the order. Let the brothers in the city hold back Mo Bei to buy time for the palace."

"promise!"

Following Jing Li's order, the last soldiers and horses in the imperial city finally moved. The last four thousand soldiers and horses formed the last line of defense of the imperial city.

The army from Mobei swarmed towards the city gate like a flood that broke a bank. In just a short moment, thousands of people had already poured in.

"Fire the arrow!"

The bed crossbows that had been prepared long ago were lined up in a row inside the city gate, and they started shooting at the Mobei soldiers who rushed in. After the row of bed crossbows, a company of crossbows composed of a thousand forbidden soldiers also aimed at them. The soldiers in Mobei released a frenzy of arrows.

"Bed crossbow, shield breaking!"

"Liannu team, wait for the bed crossbow to break the shield, then fire quickly."

Rounds of arrows alternated in cycles, accompanied by the crash of bowstrings. The Mobei soldiers who had just rushed into the city were like wolves that had fallen into the herd of sheep. They were about to start their own hunt, but they did not expect that what was waiting for them was a hunter. Knives and guns.

"ah!"

"Shield... shield soldier, hold it up for me."

"Ahhhh..."

There were screams one after another, and the first group of Mobei soldiers who rushed into the city were directly killed by the terrifying giant crossbows. Even some crowded people were shot with one arrow like a string of candied haws!

"The mantis' arms are like a chariot!"

"My sons, the gates of King Yu's city have been breached, and the eternal achievements are just around the corner."

"The emperor, princess, and concubines of the Yu people are all waiting for us!"

"Kill with me!"

A Mobei general raised the scimitar in his hand and strode towards the crossbow formation. However, after running a few steps, a huge crossbow passed through his chest, taking with it the three Mobei soldiers behind him. The soldiers were directly killed.

Suddenly, panic spread among the crowd. Under the shock of the bed crossbow, even if there was a golden mountain in front of them, they could not help but start to hesitate.

"Archers, aim at the Yu people's crossbows and reflect!"

On top of the city tower, a general immediately ordered the soldiers on the city tower to fight back with bows and arrows. However, Yuren's bed crossbow was far away, even if he stood on the city tower, he could not reach it at all.

"damn it!"

…

Long Yan.

Sheriff's Mansion.

After Yue Fei entered Changyan, the Sheriff's Mansion was changed into his temporary Commander's Mansion. Figures gathered here, with indescribable frustration on their faces.

"Commander Yue, all the strings of the bed crossbows have been broken, and the catapults have also been dismantled."

"More than ten school captains...died at the hands of assassins."

After listening to Niu Gao's report, Yue Fei looked extremely calm and said calmly: "Is there any news from the capital?"

"The cavalry from Mobei have already arrived at the city. The specific situation is unknown."

"Is there anything unusual happening in the camp outside the city?"

"None yet!"

"Um!"

Yue Fei's eyes were a bit stern. He looked at the map in front of him for a long time and then stood up slowly: "Niu Gao, Zhang Xian is following the order!"

"exist!"

"You two lead the Wei army out of the city!"

"Out of town?"

The faces of the two people were full of surprise. Yue Fei pointed at the map and said in a deep voice: "Tonight our bed crossbow was destroyed and our catapult was dismantled. Tomorrow we will definitely face a fierce attack from Mobei."

"The next situation is extremely unfavorable to us."

"Half an hour later, Pang Rong and Dong Xian will lead their troops to pretend to attack the camp and cover you out of the city."

"Before dawn, ambush here."

Yue Fei pointed to the dense forest on the east side of Changyan City and said in a deep voice: "When Mobei's army attacks the city, you two will lead the army and fight out."

"Remember, retreat immediately with one attack, and let the soldiers bring enough food for three days."

"promise!"

"Everyone, go down and get ready!"

Yue Fei asked everyone to leave, and returned to sit down at the table. He also had a few small notes in his hands, and a look of contemplation appeared in his eyes: "I have already laid out this game of chess, Lan Yu, it's all up to you."

"It's disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating. You cut off my bowstring and I burn your food and grass. Isn't that too much?"

"Beijing..."

Thinking of the capital, a hint of worry appeared on Yue Fei's face, wondering if the lord would be able to make it in time?

…

Northern Territory.

On the barren mountain.

Li Jin was sitting in the commander's tent, and a group of generals were standing below, their expressions full of worry.

This night is their last night and their last chance!

"Commander, today is the last day. If we still can't break through the encirclement tonight, the army will be out of food tomorrow morning."

"Um!"

"Master, let me lead someone to charge again?"

"No need."

"Father, what are your plans? Can you tell us?"

Li Yan also had a solemn look on his face, and could not hide his concern on his brows as he stared at his father closely: "Now that the mountain is heavily surrounded, my sister may be in danger as well. We can't just sit back and wait for death!"

"Um!"

Li Jin responded again, his expression still indifferent. The atmosphere in the tent seemed particularly depressing, and both the generals and generals had dead silence on their faces.

Faced with this current predicament, is their ever-victorious military god also helpless?

"Li Yan!"

"exist!"

"Send the order, use all the rations, and let the soldiers have a full meal."

"Father, do you want to make a desperate move?"

Li Yan looked at Li Jin with some worry. In fact, he also knew that Mobei had already set up a copper wall and an iron wall at the foot of the mountain. Not to mention that there were 200,000 of them, even if there were millions of people, as long as they guarded the pass, it would still be unbreakable.

"Let me ask you, did you find anything when I asked you to go down the cliff at the back of the mountain the day before yesterday?"

"Go back to my father. The cliff is also guarded by soldiers from Mobei."

"Well, there's no need to ask any more, just go down and get ready!" Li Jin waved his hand, stood up slowly, and said calmly: "Let the soldiers get ready and be ready to attack at any time!"

"promise!"

Everyone looked at each other, bowed their hands, and silently exited the hall.

Li Jin slowly stood up and placed the note he had held for a long time on the candlestick, with a high fighting spirit igniting in his eyes.

Tonight is the battle of Dingding. Success or failure depends on this!

…

"drive!"

"drive!"

In the dark night, on the ancient road.

A cavalryman galloped rapidly, the torch in his hand lighting up the winding ancient road, like a fire dragon in the dark night, stretching for miles.

"General, ten miles ahead, we will reach the barren mountain."

"Send the order!"

Lan Yu raised the spear in his hand, looked back, and shouted: "Get ready to charge!"

"promise!"

The black cavalry instantly formed a formation on the ancient road. The horses' hooves stepped on the wasteland, leaving footprints. Following a low shout from the front, the knights slowly raised their spears.
