Chapter 452: Raid to the Rescue
Chapter 452 Running Rescue
Zhang Tong said: "The enemy army has more than 5,000 people!"
“In which direction?”
"Kaiyang City!"
After asking about the situation, Li Yu rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.
Zhang Tong continued: "This Xifan army is less than a hundred miles away from Kaiyang City. They can arrive at Kaiyang City before dark!"
Kaiyang City belongs to Huaian County, located near the junction of Huaian County and Donggu County. It is a small town with a population of 2 and 30,000 people.
You should know that Huaian County did not organize people to migrate, and the people in Kaiyang City did not leave. Once this Xifan army enters Kaiyang City, the people in the city will suffer.
Li Yu pondered for a moment and said to Jinwu: "Call Feiwei and Iron Guards and follow me to Kaiyang City!"
Jinwu agreed, turned around and ran away.
Liang Pi said, "Do... Your Highness, I will go with you!"
Li Yu frowned and did not answer the conversation immediately.
Liang Pi said anxiously: "Don't you know my skills yet?"
Don't hesitate!"
Li Yu said: "After encountering the Xifan Army, you must not act without authorization, you must obey my command!"
Liang Pi showed joy on his face, agreed in full voice, and said, "Okay! I will listen to you when the time comes!"
Li Yu summoned the 1,000 flying guards and the 1,000 iron guards, and did not say hello to the others in the camp. He only took the two thousand people and rushed out of the capital army camp and headed straight for Kaiyang.
They left for a while, and Shen Fang, Liang Ping and others learned about this.
Liang Ping hurried to the central army tent. When he saw Shen Fang, he asked anxiously: "Have you left the camp privately?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he gave Li Yu the name of leaving the camp privately.
Shen Fang owed his body and said seriously: "Duke Xunguo, Your Highness is the commander of the entire army, how could he say that he had privately left the camp?"
What this means is that Li Yu has the right to decide whether he should leave the camp or stay in the camp himself.
Liang Ping is not interested in talking about Shen Fang now.
He said anxiously: "The advance troops of the Xifan Army are all elite soldiers, how can His Highness go to war rashly?"
Shen Fang also felt that Li Yu didn't say hello, and only brought two thousand people to fight the Xifan army, which was very inappropriate.
He said, "I will bring 20,000 soldiers to pick up Your Highness!"
"I'll go with you!"
What Liang Ping cares about the most is not Li Yu's safety, but his stupid and stupid son.
Shen Fang nodded and quickly walked out of the Central Army tent.
Let’s talk about Li Yu and others, who rushed straight to Kaiyang City.
Huaian City is located in the center of Huaian County, more than 200 miles from Kaiyang City.
They rode their horses and rushed to Kaiyang City at about 5 p.m.
When they arrived at Kaiyang City, they saw thick smoke rolling in the city from afar.
Liang Pi raised his eyes and watched for a moment, his face changed suddenly, and he said anxiously: "Oh no! Kaiyang City has been captured by the Xifan Army!"
Li Yu looked carefully and saw that the south city gate in front of them was wide open and many people were running out of it.
He said: "It should be that the city has just been broken. We are rushing over now and maybe we can drive out the enemy troops entering the city!"
"Walk!"
Liang Pi shook his head, took the lead in urging the horse and sprinted forward.
Li Yu followed closely behind, and shouted: "Give me a slower time!"
When they approached the South City Gate, their eyes were filled with panicked people.
It was not until this time that they realized that there were far more than 20,000 to 30,000 people in the city, but there were more than 100,000 people.
Previously, many of the people migrated south from the Shangyuan, Zhongyuan and Donggu counties, including the people who migrated south from Kaiyang City.
The number of these people is about 70,000 to 80,000, and the people of Kaiyang City itself are indeed more than 100,000.
Because there are too many people crowded outwards, Li Yu and others can't get in even if they want to.
Moreover, the scene was in chaos, with people next to each other, crowding with people, and people were rushing out desperately, and no one listened to their commands at all.
In desperation, Li Yu had to turn over and get off the horse. He looked around, pointed to the city wall next to him, and said, "Come over the wall and go in!"
The flying guards and iron guards with ropes walked quickly under the city wall, swung their hook claws, and threw them to the top of the city.
The hook claws hang the arrow chop and the fixing is firm. People hold the rope with their hands and feet with the city wall, and quickly climb up.
Li Yu also pulled the rope to climb to the top of the city.
They all came up with more than a hundred people, and the defenders on the top of the city discovered them.
Now, there are not a few defenders left on the city wall.
An officer with the rank of brigade commander rushed forward with a few soldiers, holding a crossbow in his hand, and asked nervously: "Who are you?"
Jinwu immediately showed his sign and said in a deep voice: "Flying Guard!"
Seeing that the person coming was not an enemy, but a flying guard, the brigade commander hurriedly put down the crossbow, intervened and bowed, and said, "Sir!"
Li Yu walked up quickly and asked in a deep voice: "Where is the county magistrate and county magistrate of Kaiyang?"
"This...the villain doesn't know..."
Now the city is in chaos. I don’t know whether the county government has been captured by the enemy. Where can I find the county magistrate and county magistrate?
Li Yu didn't ask any more questions, and ran down the steps quickly.
The coach hurriedly caught up and asked, "Where are you going by sir?"
The enemy has entered the city, and it is too dangerous!"
"So we have to make an attempt to kill the people in the city by the enemy?"
The old coach blushed. He gritted his teeth and said, "The villain is willing to fight to the death with the enemy!"
Those who can still stay on the city at this time are naturally not those who are afraid of death.
Li Yu glanced at Lu Shuai and asked, "What's your name?"
"Little Man Wang Lin!"
"My name is Li Yu!"
"Oh! Ah?"
At the beginning, the coach Wang Lin had not reacted yet, and ran a few steps with Li Yu. He was shocked suddenly, looked at Li Yu in disbelief, and asked stammeringly: "Sir... I'm calling..."
"Li Yu!"
Jinwu glared at the coach Lu fiercely and said in a deep voice: "This is His Highness, King of Wu!"
Wang Lin shuddered and widened his eyes in disbelief.
He came to his senses and hurriedly ran to Li Yu to salute him. Li Yu pushed him away. The latter pulled out the sword under his ribs and rushed forward like an enclave.
I saw more than a dozen Xifan troops coming out from the front.
These Xifan troops all had white cloth wrapped around their heads.
The face was also covered by white cloth, leaving only two eyes outside.
The upper body is wearing leather armor, and the outer part of the leather armor is inlaid with iron pieces, like fish scales.
There is also a round shield behind her back.
The dozen Xifan soldiers were all red in their eyes and slashed and killed the people who were fleeing in all directions.
Li Yu rushed to a fleeing citizen. Before the latter could see clearly what was going on, he was pushed out by Li Yu.
Swish!
The scimitar attacked behind the scenes.
Li Yu stabbed him with a knife.
The soldier of the Xifan Army hurriedly dodged sideways.
Chapter completed!
