Chapter 165 My Anyang County is as solid as gold!

A full moon hung high in the sky, and the silver-white moonlight fell on the ground. A noisy sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the night.

This is a group of soldiers and horses, with thousands of horsemen galloping in front, and thousands of panting infantry following behind. Everyone looks panicked and in a panic.

At this time, a cavalryman in front of the army said happily:

"General Li, Anyang County is just ahead, we are almost there!"

Li Hai raised his eyes and looked forward, and saw a towering tower not far away. Although it was night, it was still brightly lit.

In the light of the fire, many soldiers could be seen standing guard on the tower.

After seeing the scene in front of him and looking behind him, Li Hai felt relieved.

Since Tongwei City was breached a few days ago, the nearby Huaiyao City was breached within a few days.

The Bamboo City where Li Hai was located was not far from the Huaiyao City. Li Hai knew that it would be impossible for his soldiers and horses to withstand Qin Ze's offensive.

Therefore, he led his troops out of the city early before Qin Ze came to Zhucheng.

At this moment, Li Hai marched for a while with his troops and horses, and finally approached Anyang County.

"Stop! Who is coming?"

At this time, a soldier shouted from a watchtower more than ten meters high outside the city.

"Lead the army in Bamboo City, Li Hai!"

"A letter has been sent before!"

Li Hai replied loudly.

Immediately, two groups of soldiers came down from the two watchtowers, holding torches.

One of the leading soldiers immediately bowed and clasped his fists when he saw Li Hai: "General Li! Are all the troops in the rear your troops?"

Li Hai frowned and said in a deep voice: "Of course! Why should I bring them here if they are not my soldiers and horses!"

The soldier showed an apologetic smile, "Yes! General Lian ordered us to take precautions, so he asked one more question, please don't blame me."

Li Hai knew that his father-in-law was always cautious, so he didn't take it seriously after hearing this and just nodded.

"General, please follow me."

Immediately, the soldier led Li Hai and the army behind him forward slowly. After passing the watchtower, they walked a hundred meters before arriving at the Wengcheng.

The soldier asked Li Hai to stop for a while and go to the gate of Wengcheng to explain the situation to the soldiers guarding the city. Then he turned around and continued to move forward with Li Hai.

After arriving at Wengcheng, the soldier took the people back to the watchtower, and the soldiers from Wengcheng continued to guide them.

Li Hai brought only ten thousand soldiers and horses, and they entered through the two gates of Weng City. The gates were wide, and they all entered Weng City in a short time.

After entering Wengcheng, a young general beside Li Hai looked at the winding road and couldn't help but ask Li Hai in a low voice:

"General, this is very different from the city defense of our Bamboo City. It turns left and right, and there are many twists and turns."

Li Hai nodded slightly and said calmly:

"Of course it's different. Although Zhucheng is famous for its bamboo, it's far behind Anyang County."

"Anyang County is an important town with tight defenses. You see, the watchtower is erected outside the city to keep a lookout for the enemy. The complex design of the roads in Wengcheng is also to prevent the enemy from being able to leave the Wengcheng immediately after the watchtower is breached. "

"Although we have entered Wengcheng now, there is still a long way to go after leaving Wengcheng."

"You are still young and have never been out of Bamboo City. Take a good look at the city defense this time. When the barbarian army comes to suppress Qin Ze in the future, and you come back to Bamboo City with me, you have to strengthen the city defense!"

The general nodded immediately. "Yes, General!"

In this way, after walking for a while, the army finally left Wengcheng.

As soon as they left the Wengcheng, a wide moat came into view a hundred meters ahead.

Li Hai turned to the general and said, "As I just said, after leaving the Weng City, there is this moat. Look at the two suspension bridges on the river."

Li Hai pointed forward and continued: "Only after crossing the suspension bridge can we reach the outer city."

"And the outer city is an uninhabited area, with a large number of soldiers and horses inside. During war, they will either leave the city or climb the tower to meet the enemy."

"The city wall is more than ten meters high, and there are towers more than ten meters high on the city tower, and there..."

Just as he said this, the sound of the suspension bridge falling was heard from ahead.

"Let's go, let's talk about it in the city."

Li Hai led the people across the suspension bridge and marched another hundred meters before arriving at the outer city. After verifying his identity once more, he changed to a soldier from the outer city to help them enter the city.

In this way, it was not until late at night that they settled down in the outer city.

After settling his men, Li Hai did not dare to delay and rushed to the Tongjun Mansion without stopping.

In the Tongjun Mansion.

Li Hai was taken to the lobby by the butler. As soon as he entered the lobby, Li Hai saw a man in his fifties sitting on the main seat. The man was slightly fat, his face was rosy, and his eyes were like the water of a deep pool.

It was none other than General Annan Lian Xiaoru, the third-rank general of the current Daqian.

As soon as he saw him, Li Hai's heart skipped a beat and he immediately fell to his knees.

"My father-in-law is here, and my son-in-law Li Hai is here to pay his respects."

After the words fell, Lian Xiaoru squinted his eyes and said in a neutral tone:

"Goodbye? Is that wrong?"

"He escaped to my Anyang County."

Li Hai's face turned red and he lowered his head and said: "The traitor Qin Ze's rebellion is simply sweeping."

"The Bamboo City is too small and cannot be defended well. My son-in-law does not have enough soldiers and horses. Holding on to the Bamboo City is tantamount to waiting for death."

"Giving Zhucheng to the other side can preserve our troops. I will bring troops and horses to Anyang County to help my father-in-law."

After finishing the conversation, Lian Xiaoru sneered: "Sweeping power?"

"Tell me, how is he so powerful?"

Li Hai lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Master Jin mobilized troops around Tongwei City. There were more than 100,000 troops in total. They went out of the city to attack Beiliang Pass, but no one came back."

"As for Tongwei City, there are even rumors that it was attacked by more than ten riders."

"My son-in-law has never seen such a fighting style."

Hearing this, Lian Xiaoru raised his chin slightly and said coldly:

"Isn't it just inducing a tiger to leave the mountain? Is there anything I've never seen before?"

Li Hai shook his head and whispered: "There are still hundreds of defenders in Tongwei City, and Lord Jin is surrounded by personal soldiers with good fighting strength. If more than ten cavalry really attack Tongwei City, this is indeed... Something unusual.”

"And after Tongwei City was defeated, Huaiyao City was also attacked soon. This Qin Ze, he came with a fierce force, this person..."

Before he finished speaking, Lian Xiaoru slammed the table and shouted angrily:

"okay!"

"Don't let other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige!"

"Abandoning the Bamboo City is a serious crime! Li Hai! You understand!"

Li Hai trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"My son-in-law understands."

"Master Yue Fei, please help my son-in-law..."

Lian Xiaoru snorted coldly and interrupted: "I don't know why my daughter fell in love with you!"

Li Hai's face turned red and he lowered his head and did not dare to say anything more.

Lian Xiaoru stood up and said coldly:

"Forget it, Qin Ze, son, just take those cities."
