Chapter 1097 almost

When he heard that Guan Yu had led his main force to bypass Kuandian and headed towards Hengren, all the generals could not help but change their colors. Hengren is located more than a hundred miles west of Goguryeo Maru. It is not only one of the largest cities in Goguryeo, but also the gateway to the west of Marudu. If this place is lost, then Marudu will be completely exposed to the Qin army's troops. This is not the most serious. The most serious thing is that if Hengren loses, then their army will be completely cut off from its way back and fall into a desperate situation.

"Quiet! You are all generals, so panic, how can you behave?" Li Muqing shouted unhappily. The scene immediately became quiet.

Li Muqing couldn't help looking at Yang Kai beside him, but found that Yang Kai was actually closing his eyes and looking like he was not in charge of his own affairs. Li Muqing couldn't help but sigh, thinking about finding time to have a good talk with this most trusted adviser.

Li Muqing thought for a moment and ordered decisively: "The entire army immediately gave up Xinle County and withdrew Hengren! Hengren cannot be misunderstood!"

Although the generals were a little unwilling to give in, they could not think of a better way and agreed to the promise together in frustration.

About two hours later, Chen Chu, outside Xinle City, received a letter from Guan Yu from Fei Ge, who wanted to report to him about yesterday's war and his current actions. The letter was actually sent last night. However, due to various reasons, the pigeon only came to Chen Chu's hands at this time. Because of these two hours, Chen Chu missed the opportunity to launch a decisive battle against Li Muqing.

As soon as Chen Chu read the letter, he felt that Li Muqing on the opposite side might be about to run away, so he immediately ordered his personal soldiers to beat the drums.

A moment later, a group of generals led by Lu Bu and Dian Wei gathered among the crowd and waited for Chen Chu's order.

Chen Chuyang sent a letter from Feige in Yang's hand and said, "This is a letter from Feige that Yun Chang just sent. Yun Chang launched a raid on Kuandian last night. Although he failed to successfully occupy Kuandian, he also wiped out 20,000 defenders from the other side! ~"

The generals couldn't help but lit up their eyes.

"Li Muqing should have also received relevant reports. With Li Muqing's talent, he will definitely give up Xinle and return to Hengren to resist our Great Qin Tianjun!"

"Fengxian!"

Lu Bu couldn't help but lit up his eyes and came out and replied: "The last one will be here!"

Chen Chu took out a command arrow from the commander's case and said, "You will immediately lead all the light cavalry of the First Legion to pursue the enemy! Remember, don't be entangled, sweep like a whirlwind! I will handle the matters behind!"

Lu Bu responded with a promise and took the command arrow from Chen Chu.

Chen Chu took out another command arrow from the Shuai's case and said, "Zhang Ren, Yan Yan!"

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan immediately left the list, "The last one is here!"

"You two lead the soldiers of the front battalion of the First Legion to attack the city!"

"Get orders!" The two of them agreed in unison, and Yan Yan took the order arrow from Chen Chu's hand.

Chen Chu said loudly: "The other generals followed me to lead the main force to cover up and kill the enemy!" "Yes!" The generals agreed.

The entire Qin army camp was moved. Lu Bu led 17,000 cavalry roaring out of the gate, and other armies were also actively mobilizing.

About a quarter of an hour later, Chen Chu suddenly saw the surging fires rising from the city not far away, and was stunned. Then his heart moved and a bad premonition arose.

At this moment, Lu Bu actually led dozens of cavalry back in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, Li Muqing ordered that a bitch to start a fire in the city. At the same time, the surrounding official roads and mountain roads were also engulfed by the fire! We can't chase them at all!" Lu Bu reported that he looked extremely annoyed. Lu Bu wanted to strip the hateful Li Muqing naked and beat him up.

Chen Chu frowned and said nothing.

After several batches of scouts reported the same situation, Chen Chu ordered: "Order the scouts to monitor the development of the fire and report to me immediately whenever there is any change! The other armies gave up their original plans and returned to the camp to rest! Damn, I can only let Li Muqing temporarily release this bitch!"

Chen Chu returned to the tent with some annoyance. He remembered something and immediately called the commemorative officer and ordered: "Immediately send a letter to Yun Changfa Feige and inform him of the situation here! Tell him to be careful of Li Muqing's trap!" The commemorative officer took the order and immediately retreated.

The fire continued until the evening before the rest of the day. At this time, Lu Bu led 17,000 light cavalrymen to rush eastward on the hot ground.

At the same time, an army led by Zhang Ren entered the city. The entire Xinle County was immersed in the smoke and choking smells, and there were many fireheads making the final struggle.

Lu Bu led nearly 20,000 light cavalry to chase him to the river. He happened to see a burning floating bridge on the river. Under the moonlight and firelight, there were shadows on the opposite side, heading towards Hengren.

Lu Bu cursed in extreme annoyance.

Instead of leading the army to revolve, Lu Bu set up camps by the river and sent a fast horse to report the situation to Chen Chu.

It was on that night that Guan Yu's vanguard had an encounter with Li Muqing's light cavalry team outside Hengren City. The battle lasted only more than two minutes, and both sides lost hundreds of people, but the winner was not decided.

Then Guan Yu's vanguard troops fought two battles with Li Muqing's light cavalry team, and there was no winner.

Early the next morning, Guan Yu led his 40,000 main force to advance into a hilly terrain several miles south of Hengren. At this time, Li Muqing's army had all entered Hengren City.

Guan Yu had received a letter from Chen Chu, and the scout also reported that the main force of Li Muqing's brigade had entered Hengren, so he did not take any action against Hengren, but ordered the army to build camps on the spot based on the terrain.

Guan Yu led dozens of personal soldiers to climb a hill in the camp and looked towards Hengren, and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect a small country to be able to build such a city!" The Hengren City in front of Guan Yu was really large in scale. At least 100,000 residents lived in the city. The overall shape was almost exactly the same as the Central Plains. The city wall was as high as two meters high, all of which were made of blue bricks. Although it was not comparable to that of Luoyang and Chang'an.

On the same page, it is not inferior to the county towns in the Central Plains. There are four city gates, and there is also a urn city at the gate. The so-called urn city is actually an independent space surrounded by a city wall behind the city gate. The city wall is connected to the main city wall, and there is also a city gate. Only by passing through this city gate can you truly enter the city. During war, the defense often deliberately welcomes the enemy into the urn city and then shoots from all sides. This is the origin of the word "induce the king into the urn".

Hengren Governance.

Li Muqing had just agreed on defense with the generals, and at this moment, there were only Li Muqing and a few close maids in the hall.

Li Muqing rubbed his temples tiredly, got up and walked to the map frame, his eyes wandered to the position of the northern Protectorate of the Qin Dynasty, his eyes narrowed, and he murmured: "I hope you will believe in your words! If I, Goguryeo, will you have a good time?"

At this time, a commissar came to Li Muqing with a happy look on his face and reported: "Your Majesty, good news! The tiger teeth gate was broken by General Jin Kaiyao!"

Li Muqing couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly walked to the commander and asked anxiously: "Really, you must be?"

The commemorative immediately presented a letter from Fei Ge's pigeon with both hands.

Li Muqing took it and read it quickly. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and murmured: "A good news finally came!" Then he asked the messenger and said: "Is there any news from the Four Koreans?"

The messenger shook his head, "Not yet!"

Li Muqing nodded and ordered: "Transfer the tiger-toothed good news to the entire army immediately!" "Yes!" The messenger Yingnuo and retreated.

Li Muqing thought about it, and before returning to the case, he quickly wrote a commendation order, called another commendation officer, and ordered him to pass the commendation order to Jin Kaiyao who made great contributions immediately.
