Chapter 774 The siege begins!

Dongyan City.

Rongcheng Marquis Mansion.

Yan Que frowned, looked at the generals in front of him, and asked solemnly: "Have all the scouts sent out returned?"

"My Lord, they haven't returned yet."

"Pass the order down, strengthen vigilance on the tower, send out the cavalry battalion, patrol outside the city."

"Closely monitor the movements in the direction of Xuanjian Pass!"

"Yes, my Lord!"

After the three generals left, Yan Que's brows were furrowed deeper and deeper. Now all the eyes of the court were focused on Dali, but he dared not slack off at all.

Some time ago, the surprise attack in Dali caused heavy losses to his Weirong Army.

After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that it was actually done by Dayu's generals.

And today, all patrols and scouts in the direction of Xuanjian Pass lost contact, and he smelled a hint of something unusual.

"Someone come!"

"My Lord!"

"Bring me my armor, I will personally go up to the tower to inspect!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, Yan Que put on his armor, held a weapon, and led several followers to the east gate.

Dongyan City is not only a military stronghold, but also a trade center in the east of Dayan. There are many merchants coming and going on weekdays, and the fur and textile industries are also relatively developed. It is an important city in the east.

Therefore, the population in the city is also more than 500,000.

"My Lord, just let me inspect it for you. Why do you have to go there in person?"

"Now is a time of trouble. Dongyan City is the gateway to the eastern part of Dayan. We cannot afford to be careless."

"Could it be that Dayu dares to step out of Xuanjian Pass?"

The general next to Yanque showed a trace of disdain, and Yanque also shook his head: "Although this Lord does not believe that Dayu's soldiers dare to attack Dayan, I am very uneasy in my heart."

"At dusk, the Yanlong Guard sent news that Hu Nu's 800,000 cavalry were defeated in Dayu's northern border."

"What!"

Hearing Yanque's words, several generals around were all shocked.

Hu Nu was defeated?

And 800,000 cavalry?

You know, Dayan and Hu Nu have been fighting for many years, and there has never been such an amazing record!

"This... How is this possible?"

"My Lord, could it be that the Yanlong Guards made a mistake?"

"The news was personally delivered by Naiying."

"Hiss!"

The crowd no longer questioned. To them, Naiying was a legendary figure, the leader of the twelve guards of the Yanlong Guards, and one of the most powerful figures in the Yanlong Guards!

The group came to the wall of the East Tower. Now that it was early autumn, the tower was a little cooler. The torches swayed in the wind, making subtle crisp sounds from time to time.

"My Lord is here."

"Greetings, My Lord!"

"My Lord, why are you here in person?"

The generals guarding the city saw Yanque and hurried forward to salute.

"Today, several cavalry teams in our scout camp have not returned, and the scouts we sent out have not been found yet. This marquis is a little worried, so I came to take a look."

"My lord suspects... that Dayu attacked our cavalry?"

"I don't know!"

Yan Que let out a long sigh and said sadly: "The great era has come, and the situation in the world has become chaotic!"

"My lord, I will strengthen the vigilance now."

"Yes!"

Yan Que nodded with a smile, looking at the soldiers around him who were all energetic and armed, and felt a little relieved.

"My lord!"

"It's not good!"

An urgent call sounded, Yan Que frowned slightly, and looked at the person who came: "What happened, so panic?"

"My lord, the young marquis..."

"What happened to Tao'er?"

"The young marquis was killed in Cuihua Garden."

Boom!

A strong aura spread from Yan Que's body, and the temperature around him seemed to drop a few degrees. He suppressed his anger and said, "Who dares to kill my son?"

"My Lord, calm down!"

"I have ordered people to seal Cuihua Garden. Please let your Lord decide!"

"Lead the way!"

Yan Que left with a gloomy face. After walking a few steps, he turned back and looked at the dark night. There was a hint of depth in his eyes: "What a coincidence, why did Taoer get into trouble at this time!"

"Dong Chen!"

"I am here!"

"If I am right, Dayu must have a plan, and your East City Gate will bear the brunt. This Lord will I'll leave the East City to you. If the East City is lost, I will kill you without mercy!"

"Yes!"

The guard at the East City Gate saluted respectfully, watched Yan Que go away, and murmured: "My Lord, I... am ashamed of you!"

...

"General Bai!"

"The East Yan City is ahead. Now we are only three miles away from it. It will be difficult to conceal our whereabouts if we continue to march."

"Yes!"

Bai Qi stood still, and a telescope appeared in his hand. He looked towards the direction of the tower, but it was too dark. The telescope Ning Fan exchanged did not have night vision function, so he could only barely see some figures on the tower.

"The Black Armor Army and the White Robe Army are on standby again, restrain the war horses, and when the main force begins to attack the city, immediately rush to the west of Dongyan City and set up an ambush outside the city!"

"Yes!"

"The rest of the army, continue to sneak!"

"Are the siege equipment ready?"

"Ready!"

"Pass my order, the Mo Dao Army, the Qihuo Army, attack the north and south gates directly!"

"Yes!"

Dian Wei and Yang Zaixing, Ran Min and Lan Yu strode forward and saluted solemnly.

"Qihuo Army, follow me!"

"Mo Dao Army, go to the battle!"

The 100,000-man army split into two groups in an instant, one heading northwest and the other heading southeast, advancing at full speed.

Bai Qi slowly raised the long sword in his hand and whispered: "Old Qin soldier, follow me to attack the city!"

"Kill!"

The deafening shout of killing suddenly sounded outside Dongyan City. On the tower, Dong Chen's face showed a bit of fierceness, and he shouted in a low voice: "Soldiers, the enemy is attacking!"

"Open the city gate quickly, and follow me to kill!"

"General, the number of enemy troops is unknown, and our army should not go out without permission!"

"How insolent!"

Dong Chen's face showed a bit of anger, and he said in a deep voice: "Disobey orders and behead!"

"Why don't you hurry up!"

"Yes..."

The gate under the tower was opened with a bang, and a team of Weirong troops who had been prepared long ago, led by Dong Chen, rushed directly towards the army outside the city.

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment when he saw the Yan army suddenly rushing out of the city, and then he smiled faintly: "Qin Ruishi, line up!"

"Ha!"

With a low shout, shields hit the ground, and spears were raised.

"Archers, shoot!"

"Bang!"

The sound of bowstrings breaking, arrows flying all over the sky shot towards the rushing Wei Rong army. Dong Chen's face showed a trace of pain. Looking at the soldiers around him who were fighting bravely, he whispered: "Brothers, I'm sorry!"

"I, Dong Chen, feel ashamed of Dayan, ashamed of the Marquis, and ashamed of my brothers!"

"Charge!"

Bai Qi held the God of Death Sword, looked at the enemy troops constantly pouring out in front of him, and shouted: "Attack the city!"

"Ha!"

One hundred thousand old Qin soldiers pressed forward with the army formation, condensing an astonishing murderous aura, like a moving mountain, constantly approaching Dongyan City.
