Li Yu's words made everyone present look at him.

Zhang Hong's eyes were wet and red, and he couldn't help but choke and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness..."

Li Yu smiled at him and said in a brisk tone: "Okay! Just decide like this!"

Zhang Hong was still about to speak, Meng Liao said seriously: "Your Highness, since the prefect Zhang is going to delay the Xiao army, please accompany Your Highness to Mengshan Village!"

Fearing that Li Yu refused again, Meng Liao continued, "What's more, the empress is not good at guarding! And the Ming Duwei, Commander Han, Commander Zhang, and Commander Meng are all qualified to guard the city!"

Li Yu thought about it, and finally nodded and said, "Okay! General Meng, let's go to Mengshan Village together!"

To put it short, Li Yu and Meng Liao selected two hundred elite cavalry, went out of the northern city gate in the dark, and rushed to Mengshan Village overnight.

Among these two hundred elite cavalry, one hundred and fifty of them came from the capital army, and the other fifty were eliminated from the twelve guards around Li Yu, and the rest were from the subordinates of the county army and Guanying.

The county army understood the border terrain and was also familiar with the location of Mengshan Village. With them leading the way, Li Yu and Meng Liao would not delay their time or find a place to take a long way.

It is more than a hundred miles from Pyeongchang City to Mengshanzhai.

Li Yu and Meng Liao and their group rode their horses all the way. When it was dawn, they were less than ten miles away from Mengshan Village.

Meng Liao slowed down and said to Li Yu: "Your Highness, Mengshan Village is not far ahead. Can we take a rest first?"

Li Yu had no objection and replied: "Okay!"

Meng Liao pulled his horse, raised his arms at the same time, and signaled everyone to stop.

Then, they turned their horses and ran into the woods by the roadside to have a rest.

Li Yu, Meng Liao, Guan Ying and others gathered together and called the county soldiers who knew Mengshan Village over and asked them to describe the terrain of Mengshan Village in detail.

Mengshan Village is located at the foot of Mengshan Mountain.

It is not large in scale, it is just a small village with a population of hundreds of people.

Most of the residents inside were owls, and there were a small number of Zhou people.

It is a very rare place where the owls and the Zhou people live together.

On weekdays, Mengshan Village has almost no defenses and there are no defensive buildings on the periphery. They do not exist, such as village walls, horse-resisting horses, trenches, etc.

As for the inside of the village, there are only two main streets, horizontal and vertical.

The largest building is the residence of the village owner in the center of the village.

If Xi Jie lived in Mengshan Village, if nothing unexpected happened, he would have lived here.

After several county soldiers finished talking about the situation of Mengshanzhai, Li Yu, Meng Liao, Guan Ying and others nodded one after another, knowing it.

Meng Liao looked down at the sketch drawn by the county army on the ground and said, "The situation in Mengshan Village is very suitable for cavalry sneak attacks!"

Li Yu picked up a branch, sketched it on the ground, and said, "General Meng, you and I can divide our troops into two groups, one from the north of the village, one from the center of the village, and the other from the east of the village, and the other from the center of the village, and the other from the center of the village, and the other from the east of the village, and it is also the center of the village! The two groups of soldiers gather in the center of the village!"

Meng Liao thought about it seriously and said seriously: "It's feasible!"

Li Yu looked at Guanying and asked, "Old Guan, what about your opinion?"

Guanying is not very old, only in her early thirties, but compared with Li Yu, she is more than teenagers.

He shrugged and said indifferently: "I have no objection, Your Highness! Anyway, I, Guan Ying, will follow you wherever you go! Go to the sword mountain, I will follow you, jump into the sea of ​​fire, and I will follow you too!"

I also went to the sword mountain and jumped into the sea of ​​fire. I don’t have that hobby!

Li Yu said: "This is the battle! General Meng, you and I will lead a hundred cavalry to defeat Xi Jie in one go!"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

After a short rest, everyone got on the horse and set off again.

For cavalry, a distance of less than ten miles is reached in a flash.

The shadow of Mengshan Village could be seen in front of him. Li Yu and Meng Liao looked at each other and both took off their spears from the victory hook of the war horse.

The cavalry following behind the two either raised their spears or raised their crossbows.

People's upper body was almost pressed against the horse's back and charged forward at full speed.

When approaching Mengshan Village, two hundred cavalry were divided into two. The team of cavalry led by Li Yu rushed straight to the east entrance of Mengshan Village.

At the east entrance, several Xiaoyang people wearing animal skins were gathered, two of them, each carrying a hare in their hands.

Through the dressing of the people of Xiaoyang, it is difficult to tell whether they are soldiers or people.

Li Yu was still identifying their identities, and then he heard a whoosh coming from behind him.

An arrow flew over from his head and hit a Xiaoyang man in front of him.

The arrow was extremely powerful and shot through the man's neck.

He widened his eyes, with a surprised expression on his face, and his body fell back straight.

This arrow was shot by Guan Ying.

With his arrow, the cavalry holding crossbows shot out crossbows.

Whoosh swish swish swish-

Dozens of crossbow arrows flew out together. Before several Xiaoyang people could react, they were covered with crossbow arrows and fell to the ground one after another.

Guan Ying twisted his bow and arrow again, and at the same time, he knocked his feet hard on the horse's belly. The war horse neighed, shook off his four hooves, and ran forward with all his strength.

Soon, Guan Ying crossed over Li Yu and shot another arrow.

A man from Xiaoyang who had heard the movement just ran out of the house and didn't even see clearly what happened, he was nailed to his forehead by Guan Ying.

The man didn't say a word and fell to the door.

Immediately afterwards, another woman from Xiaoyang Kingdom ran out and saw a man with arrows stuck on his head. She was about to scream, but several crossbow arrows were nailed to her body at the same time.

The woman was killed on the spot and the body fell on the man.

Li Yu could see clearly that these two people were ordinary people in the village, right?

The cavalry galloped into the village.

From time to time, people hurried out in the wooden houses on both sides of the road.

Li Yu shouted: "Don't worry about them, rush over directly!"

He doesn't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately, nor does he want to waste time here.

But Guan Ying, who was in the lead, seemed to have not heard him. He shot him with an arrow to those who ran out of the house, both men and women, young and old.

Seeing Guan Ying like this, the other cavalry also took the lead.

Anyone who sees Mengshan Village will raise his hand and make a crossbow arrow.

From time to time, people screamed after being shot in the streets.

Not long after, dozens of strong men from Xiaoyang Kingdom holding scimitars ran forward.

They were shirtless, with animal skin tied around their waists, and were not wearing shoes under their feet, showing their dark skin and high bulging muscles.

These people, looking at the Zhou cavalry rushing towards them, screamed.

Seeing this, Guan Ying's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he pulled out two arrows from the quiver, put on the bowstrings and shot out.

Puff! Puff!

The two arrows, like eyes, were accurately nailed to the chests of the two big men.

The two of them wailed and fell to the ground.

It was too late to say it, then it was soon.

Guan Ying had no time to shoot the arrow again, and the horse was already running towards the crowd.

Dong!

The war horse ran straight into a big man, and the latter flew backwards.
Chapter completed!
