Chapter 101 The Wolf Is Coming

Kutu looked at the vast mountains behind him. Read М

Looking back, he saw the flat land of Yan County in front of him.

The cavalrymen behind him kept coming out of the mountains and gathered in front of him.

Here, they will split up and go to their respective hunting grounds.

"Tam, you lead the troops to the east. Remember, take everything you can take away, and burn everything you can't take away." Kutu pointed his whip to the east.

There are Ping County where Yanguan is located, and Liao County.

The Dasong Imperial Guards of these two counties always threaten Jinning Dusi.

In every autumn hunting, they would severely destroy there and create trouble for the Dasong Imperial Guards.

"Chaerha, you lead the troops to the west and take away everything you can, especially the population. We need slaves and craftsmen." Kutu pointed to the west.

The news brought by the scouts is that due to the war between Xiliang and Dasong in Jinzhou, many people from Jinzhou fled to the three counties west of Yanzhou.

Now is the opportunity to plunder these people.

"If you encounter Xiliang soldiers, don't get entangled." Kutu emphasized his tone and reminded Chaerha.

Just like Beidi entered Yanjun from the Yanshan trail, a small number of Xiliang soldiers would enter Yanzhou from Jinzhou.

Maybe the two sides would meet.

He knew the hot temper of this capable subordinate.

Currently in the north, Xiliang, Dasong and Beidi attacked each other.

Dasong had conflicts with Xiliang and Beidi.

Xiliang also had conflicts with Beidi and Dasong.

At the same time, in order to force Xiliang to submit to Beidi, Beidi has been using troops against Xiliang for the past two years.

Xiliang is not like Dasong, which has a strategic location to defend, and its power is the weakest. He believes that Xiliang will submit to Beidi in a short time.

But now, the two sides are still at war, so there is no need to cause trouble.

"Yes, King." Chaerha and Tam responded and returned to their own teams.

With the sound of a bull horn,

The Beidi cavalrymen howled, raised dust all over the sky, and rushed to their respective hunting grounds.

"Mutuo, let's go." Kutu looked forward.

There was still more than 40 miles to go before they could reach Wu'an County, the first county in the north of Yan County.

The same horn sounded, and the huge cavalry team slowly moved forward.

At the same time, groups of cavalry teams broke away from the team and ran in all directions.

These cavalry teams were in groups of 200 to 300 people.

Their purpose was to go to the countryside to plunder the supplies and population of Yan County.

...

"Hurry up, hurry up..."

The north gate of Yancheng.

After noon, the gate guard urged the people entering the city to enter the city as soon as possible.

According to the notice they posted, they would close the city in a quarter of an hour.

At that time, except for those who held the handwritten order of the King of Yan, no one else could enter the city.

At the urging of the guard, pedestrians and carriages quickened their pace.

When there was no one on the official road, the guard gave an order, and with a "boom", the city gate was tightly closed.

At the same time, the gates in the other three directions were all closed.

Yancheng was officially closed.

"Your Highness, our Lu family members have all arrived. If you need us, just tell us. We can help defend the city or transport."

The meeting hall of the palace was now full of the heads of the wealthy families in Yan County.

Perhaps they can no longer be called wealthy families.

Because they have lost their land and no private soldiers, they are now just a community of interests that depends on the palace.

Therefore, facing this autumn hunt, they and the palace are unprecedentedly consistent.

This situation is unprecedented in Yan County.

The people in the city felt like a dream when they saw these former wealthy families gritting their teeth at the Beidi people.

"Yes, Your Highness, don't underestimate our family members. We are definitely not afraid of fighting the Beidi people." Yang Cheng patted his chest.

Dong Yuan nodded in agreement, "Our families can also gather more than 2,000 people together."

Since his son entered the business as an official, he has always been very active in responding to the call of the palace.

Zhao Xu shook his head, "No need, you just need to control your own clansmen and don't cause trouble for the king in Yancheng during this period, otherwise all punishments will be carried out in accordance with wartime."

The nobles were a little disappointed when they heard this, but they felt relieved in their disappointment.

This shows that the King of Yan is very confident, which is more important than anything else.

"In this case, we will go back. If His Highness has any instructions, just send someone to inform us." Dong Yuan bowed his hands.

The other nobles also stood up at this time, saluted, and they left the meeting hall one after another.

"These nobles should be very nervous now." Liu Fu said lightly.

After the city gate was closed, he suddenly became free.

"You are still the same." Zhao Xu looked at him with contempt.

These nobles have put all their wealth on him.

If he is killed by the Beidi people this time, they will face the most crazy revenge from the Yuan family and the Zhang family afterwards.

It is impossible to say that they are not nervous.

After being mocked by Zhao Xu, Liu Fu wanted to find a hole to hide in.

He argued: "I don't think the same as them. Anyway, if His Highness dies, I won't live either. I will never live in vain."

"Shut up your crow mouth. I still have to live for another 500 years." Zhao Xu glared at him.

"Yes, yes, yes, may Your Highness live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years." Liu Fu immediately flattered him with a sly smile.

Zhao Xu didn't bother to pay attention to him. He asked someone to prepare a horse and go to the city wall for inspection. Liu Fu followed him happily.

Arrived at the north gate.

Zhao Xu climbed the city wall.

Since Yan County is located in the north and faces the grassland, the city walls here are very thick.

During the construction, the two sides of the city wall were built with blue bricks, and the middle part was rammed with soil.

This is also a common construction method for ancient city walls.

Therefore, the city wall of Yancheng is very wide, five meters wide, and even horses can run, and the height is about fifteen meters.

It is still quite difficult to climb from the bottom to the top.

At this time, the soldiers of the royal palace guarded the city wall with a distance of one meter.

Everyone wore heavy plate armor and held sophisticated swords and shields, which made people feel very reassured at a glance. '

And this is his confidence in facing the Beidi people this time, a military improvement brought about by a technological leap.

Seeing him coming, Chang Wei, who was commanding on the city wall, came over.

"Your Highness, I will call up all the crossbowmen. When the Beidi people arrive, let them eat a meal of arrows first." Chang Wei said.

Zhao Xu nodded, considering the current strength of Yancheng.

Even if the Northern Di people came with a hundred thousand troops, they would not be able to capture the city by force.

For him, the most dangerous situation is that the city gate is breached from the inside.

At that time, the Northern Di cavalry would pour into the city, which would certainly cause huge losses to Yancheng.

And this is what he absolutely does not want to see.

So if he wants to win a big victory, he still has to rely on the trap he set for the Northern Di people and completely eradicate the chaos from the inside.

"Well, it is still necessary to pretend to fight." Zhao Xu whispered: "Also, don't forget to prepare 5,000 soldiers tonight, our elimination plan is about to begin."
