Chapter 1248 Jia Yao Leads the Army

"What, all the enemy troops are heading towards Qingyi?"

In Luyi Prefecture, Mr. Qiushan had already received the news in the morning that all the enemy troops had disappeared.

However, he was worried about a trap and was reluctant to send anyone out of the city to investigate.

It was not until noon that he could no longer sit still and sent people to investigate.

As a result, the news we received was that all the enemy troops had disappeared, leaving only large areas of horse hoof prints and horse manure.

Whether it was the horseshoe prints or the horse manure, it pointed them in a direction.

Qingyi!

The enemy is heading towards Qingyi!

Akiyama-kun was full of doubts and racked his brains to think about it.

Did the enemy really go to Qingyi, or were they just pretending to go to Qingyi?

Qingyi!

How dare they go to Qingyi!

The enemy army bypassed Luyi Prefecture. Aren’t they afraid that the baggage train escorting food and fodder behind them would be attacked by them?

After a long time, the staff around Akiyama Jun said bitterly: "Your Highness, we were all wrong. The enemy's initial target was Qingyi..."

Qiu Shanjun's eyes flashed coldly, and he gritted his teeth and growled: "How dare they bypass Luyi Prefecture and attack Qingyi? Don't they want the logistics supply line?"

The staff shook their heads slightly. "It's not that they don't want supply lines, it's that they don't need supply lines at all! They are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind! They can get supplies by looting!"

At this moment, he finally understood why the enemy were all cavalry.

Behind the enemy, there was no baggage train as they had imagined!

Or maybe they have quietly occupied the small towns between Louchong and Qingyi.

There is a great chance that the enemy could use that trail as their supply route!

They have been thinking about holding on and depleting the enemy's manpower.

The enemy naturally saw through their intentions.

There was nothing wrong with them holding on, but their mistake was that they underestimated the enemy.

Yun Zheng's series of actions made them mistakenly believe that Yun Zheng's title of the world's number one general was just a title.

They didn't even consider the possibility that the enemy could bypass Luyi and attack in other directions.

Listening to the staff's words, Qiu Shanjun disagreed, "Are they sure that they can capture Qingyi? If they can't capture Qingyi, they will be attacked from both sides without supplies!"

Qingyi had only more than 3,000 armored soldiers.

But they conscripted all the young and strong men from the surrounding towns into the army.

There are nearly ten thousand young and strong people helping in defending the city!

And Qingyi is very close to Shangqing Road.

As long as the enemy fails to capture Qingyi within a few days, Shangqingdao's reinforcements will surely arrive in Qingyi.

What will the enemy do then?

The staff member frowned and said, "Your Highness, please send someone to Qiming City as fast as possible to tell His Majesty the news! If the enemy cavalry captures Qingyi, the enemy cavalry can quickly raid Shangqing Road and then threaten Hukou City! Once Hukou is lost, the enemy cavalry can run rampant in Gyeonggi Province..."

The terrain of Gyeonggi Province is flat, which is most suitable for large-scale cavalry deployment.

Once the enemy cavalry enters Gyeonggi Province, all the small towns in Gyeonggi Province will be destroyed.

The enemy may even launch a quick surprise attack, directly seize Woyuan City through Rende and Wan'an, and turn Luyi Prefecture into an isolated city!

They can dispatch troops to support Woyuan.

But once troops are dispatched to support Woyuan, Luyi Prefecture will face the problem of insufficient troops!

The key point is that once Gyeonggi Province is threatened, Euljimu and his troops will most likely be transferred away.

This will make their situation even more difficult.

Finally, in order to calm Yun Zheng’s anger, His Majesty will most likely escort Qiu Shanjun to Yun Zheng!

This is a chain of tricks.

Every link is aimed at Akiyama-kun!

Yun Zheng clearly wanted to force Qiu Shanjun into a desperate situation!

If Hukou City cannot be defended, Akiyama-kun's situation will become extremely difficult.

They thought that Yun Zheng was just in name only, but they didn't know that Yun Zheng was playing a big game.

They did not fail in tactics, but in strategy.

"Do you think Qingyi can't hold on?"

Akiyama-kun still didn't believe it.

Does the enemy have large siege weapons?

With so many people defending Qingyi, why can't Qingyi defend itself?

Besides, they don't have to guard for long.

It only takes a few days of defense before a large number of reinforcements arrive.

It’s just a matter of guarding for a few days, isn’t it?

"Your Highness!"

The staff was anxious, "Since the enemy dares to attack Qingyi, they must be certain! Even if the enemy cannot capture Qingyi, we must take precautions!"

Prevent problems before they happen?

Akiyama-kun thought about it and then nodded slightly.

However, he still believed that it would be impossible for the enemy to capture Qingyi in a short period of time!

……

Qingyi.

By dusk, Qingyi had already closed the city gates.

This is also what Akiyama-kun had requested a long time ago.

Although the possibility of the enemy attacking Qingyi is relatively small, the defenders of Qingyi are still very vigilant.

Normally, the spies sent to explore the area near the Northwest Trail should report back every two days.

But this time, the city gates were closed and the spies had not returned to report the situation.

This gave the defenders of Qingyi City an extremely ominous feeling.

He secretly decided that he must send more spies to the northwest trail tomorrow to see if there were really any enemy troops coming from the trail.

Thinking of this, the Qingyi City Guard went to the top of the city to inspect again before returning to his mansion to rest.

"Dang Dang Dang..."

At dawn, the defenders of Qingyi City were awakened by the rapid sound of iron boards.

The Qingyi City Guardian suddenly sat up, put on his clothes hastily and ran outside.

As soon as he walked out of the room, someone came running to report with a panicked look on his face: "Sir, the enemy is coming! There are so many enemy soldiers..."

"what?"

The defender of Qingyi City's face changed drastically. He was about to run to the top of the city wall when the person who brought the news suddenly drew his sword.

brush!

The knife flashed, and before the Qingyi city defender could react, his head was already moved away.

"Xu..."

A long whistle sounded, and the next moment, several figures flashed quickly and disappeared from the City Guard House in an instant, leaving only corpses and blood on the ground.

At the same time, Yun Zheng and his men were already at the gates of the city.

Rushing in the front were the soldiers who had first entered the camp, and behind them were the Northern Huan cavalry who were skilled in riding and shooting.

The soldiers who first arrived at the camp quickly took up the battle formation, divided into groups of five, with two people responsible for holding up shields for protection and two people holding crossbows and aiming at the top of the city wall. As long as the enemy dared to show up, they would immediately attack with crossbows.

There was another person holding a hook, who quickly threw the hook onto the top of the city wall and climbed up under the cover of the people below.

As soon as one person falls down, another one will immediately take his place.

The Beihuan cavalry behind them charged forward and shot arrows with their bows.

Taking advantage of the speed of the cavalry's charge, their arrows could be shot farther.

After a rain of arrows, half of the soldiers on the city wall who were hastily organizing their defense fell down.

They were also covering the soldiers who arrived at the camp first.

Jia Yao once again demonstrated his unique skill of shooting three arrows at once.

"Whizzing……"

Three arrows were shot at the same time.

Two Li Dynasty soldiers who were about to pick up stones to hit Xianliang Tie were shot through the neck.

Another arrow shot and wounded the soldier who was about to cut the rope.

"Madam Jiayao is truly a remarkable woman of our time!"

Liang Tie, who was rescued by Jia Yao, was sincerely moved. He immediately climbed up the city wall when the enemy was about to pounce and cut the rope.

brush!

Liang Tie swung his sword and directly cut off the arm of the Le Dynasty soldier.

Then, the second, the third...

As more and more soldiers from the vanguard camp climbed up the city wall, the wall was quickly lost.

The defenders on the city wall began to flee in panic.

Liang Tie led dozens of soldiers from the first camp and continued to charge and fight, and quickly arrived at the city gate.

"Quick, open the city gate!"

Liang Tie, full of murderous intent, killed an enemy soldier with one sword and roared at the soldiers behind him.

Several soldiers who arrived at the camp first rushed to the city gate and quickly opened it.

"kill!"

As the city gate opened, a large group of cavalry rushed into the city, and the deafening cry of killing resounded throughout Qingyi City.

As a large group of cavalry charged in, the defenders of Qingyi City completely lost their ability to resist.

Many soldiers who had just put on their armor and were about to run to support were shot through the body by flying arrows before they could even hold their swords firmly.

As the sun rises, the walls of Qingyi City take on a strange red color...
