Chapter 347: Soldiers Approaching the City

Cen Fei was not the only one who was shocked. In the city lord's mansion of Yongyang City, Yang Huai sat down on a chair in shock, holding a letter in his hand, and shouted tremblingly, "Impossible! Even if Murong Shu knows the secret army It is impossible to break through the position so quickly with a surprise attack! This is absolutely impossible! There are still 200,000 troops there!"

"The city lord! The frontline sentry is back! Please see the city lord!" At this moment, the guards outside shouted urgently

"Call him in!" Yang Huai hurriedly shouted

Afterwards, a dusty sentry came in from the door, hurriedly bowed to salute, and said, "City Master! It's not good! The secret army has been wiped out! Now Murong Shu has led his troops to attack our Yongyang City! "

"What's going on! Two hundred thousand troops, how could the entire army be wiped out? How many people did Murong Shu dispatch?" Yang Huai asked in a panic

"According to my subordinates' investigation, Murong Shu only dispatched 300,000 cavalry." The sentry immediately replied

"It's only 300,000? This is even more impossible! What's wrong? Is there someone defecting?" Yang Huai asked angrily

"No, actually...the subordinates have guessed, but it's a little unbelievable."

"explain!"

"Yes! If my subordinate's guess is correct, there is something wrong with Murong Shu's war horse."

"War horse? What's wrong with a war horse?"

The sentinel quickly explained, "Their horses are much stronger than ordinary horses! During the raid, Murong Shu's light cavalry harassed the raid at a speed as fast as the wind. Before we could react, the long-range light cavalry came Swept the camp and caused us heavy losses."

"In the end, before we recovered, those short-range light cavalry were killed. A charge was completed within a few breaths. Our soldiers had no time to defend and were killed."

"The heavy cavalry after that was even more shocking. The horses were taller than ordinary war horses, brave, and strong. The thickness of the cavalry and war horse armor was astonishing. It looked extremely heavy, but the war horses were still able to maintain extremely fast speeds. The speed of our light cavalry is two or three times faster, and after rushing into our camp, it is almost crushing, and we cannot resist the charge of the cavalry at all!"

"In addition, the strength of Murong Shu's generals seems to have improved rapidly. Originally, the strength of the generals of our secret army was similar to that of Murong Shu's generals, but this time, for some reason, they almost It crushed our generals, leaving our generals with no power to fight back!"

"The most important thing is that their horses seem to have spirituality, and they seem to have a connection with the cavalry. I have seen countless powerful cavalry. Although there are some cavalry units, such as the cavalry of our secret army, because of their strong equestrian skills, they can also do To the order of prohibition."

"But they didn't rely on equestrian skills at all. Instead, they pointed and hit where they seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they could dodge and dodge flexibly. All their actions were uniform without the slightest panic."

"As a result, our resistance has almost no effect, and they have broken through our camp at a very small cost!"

Yang Huai said incredulously, "How is this possible? How could they have such powerful war horses? Where did they get them?!"

"City Lord, now is not the time to worry about this issue. They have already attacked. With the speed of their light cavalry, they may have already approached the city."

"Nonsense! Does this old man need your teaching?" Yang Huai glared, and said sharply, "The old man has already contacted Cen Fei and asked him to come back to help immediately. Fortunately, Murong Shu didn't know what his plan was this time. Only bring cavalry, hum! Want to attack the city with only cavalry? Dreaming! As long as Cen Fei and the others come back, no matter how powerful their horses are, they will always be able to resist one or two. I have sent a letter to the king to let him rush to help The crisis will be resolved soon!"

"This... City Lord, there is one more thing. This time, my subordinates observed that the horses of the cavalry under Murong Shu's command are somewhat different. The horses of the light cavalry are extremely fast, but they are like ordinary war horses. The horses of the heavy cavalry have already been mentioned by the subordinates just now. Yes, there are the general’s horses. But there is also a kind of war horse. Their body shape is not much different from other war horses, but their limbs are extremely developed. If the subordinate guessed correctly, their limbs must be extremely strong. I have to guard against it!"

Yang Huai snorted coldly, and said, "It's just a war horse. No matter how strong it is, can it still be stronger than the city wall? Don't be surprised, cavalry can't perform well in siege battles, and no matter how strong it is, it won't help."

"But……"

"Needless to say! Follow me to the city wall! I want to see why he, Murong Shu, attacked my Yongyang City! Don't think that with the power of a war horse, he can defeat my 200,000 secret troops and be able to win the siege battle." It's cheap!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Huai directly turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the City Lord's Mansion.

But the sentinel had a bitter expression on his face, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

City lord, this Murong technique is also a well-known general in our northern border. Is it possible for such a person to make such a low-level mistake of only bringing cavalry in a siege battle? The last kind of war horse that has not yet exerted its strength, definitely has its role!

But he didn't say much, he was just a scout, and he spoke lightly, besides, it was too late to say anything now, Yang Huai had already left, so he had to disappear into a stream of light.

At this time, all the streets in Yongyang City had already been emptied, and all the people returned to their homes. This was the custom in every war, and the people would not rush around in the streets in a panic.

For the people of the Ten Directions Continent, war does not make them fearful. In this world where martial arts are respected, war is considered a kind of romance. Instead of being afraid, the common people will pay attention to it.

After all, no matter who is the city lord, it will not have any impact on their lives. The existence of the city's luck provides a very solid guarantee for their safety.

Unless the city lord or country lord is very much supported by them, they will help the city lord or country lord to resist together. Otherwise, they are at most worried about whether the new city lord or country lord is a difficult person to serve.

However, they heard that it was Murong Shu who came this time, and they were very happy. Many people even hoped that Murong Shu would be able to attack the city successfully. After all, the Yang family's father and son really disappointed the people of Yongyang City.

Because of the cooperation of the common people, Yongyang City was also very fast in mobilizing troops. At this time, 10,000 of the 20,000 defenders had gathered at the east gate, and the remaining 10,000 were guarding the other gates to guard against sneak attacks.

The 10,000 cavalry in the city have already prepared outside the east gate, ready to go out of the city to make a surprise attack at any time.

Seeing Yang Huai appearing on the tower of the East City Gate, all the guards bowed and saluted one after another, saying in unison, "I have seen the City Lord."

"En." At this time, the army was overwhelming, and Yang Huai was going to the battlefield to supervise the battle in his old age, so he was really not happy.

Especially when he saw the black cavalry army outside the city, his heart became heavier.

At this moment, Murong Shu rode his horse forward a few steps in front of the army, cupped his hands towards the top of the tower, channeled his inner energy, and said loudly, "Old City Lord Yang, long time no see."
