"They were ambushed."

Yang Ye learned that Li Guang led four thousand cavalry into the ambush circle and was about to lead the cavalry to attack Li Guang.

Suddenly, a sense of crisis surged into his heart, and Yang Ye's intuition made him hesitate.

Attack or retreat? Yang Ye hesitated.

According to his intelligence, Langya Kingdom has almost no record of defeat, and their leader will not be easily defeated.

"You go and test the other party."

Out of caution, Yang Ye ordered his lieutenant to lead four thousand cavalry to attack Li Guang, and personally retained one thousand elite cavalry to respond.

The deputy general is a gold-level ordinary general who leads the ambush to fight out!

Sure enough, there is an ambush!

Li Guang received Hua Mulan's notice in advance and already knew that Yang Ye was setting up an ambush ahead, so he did not panic and occupied the high ground to kill the ambush troops with mounted fire.

The cavalry archers of the Western Han Dynasty were the eagle shooters in the Han army. They had a very high hit rate. The light cavalry on the opposite side were either shot or wounded.

Three hundred horse archers formed the Queyue Formation and shot dozens of Xuzhou cavalry in succession.

Li Guang personally bent the bow with such force that it shot directly through the opponent's armor. The Xuzhou cavalry rolled off their galloping horses!

Some light cavalry dismounted and held spears to block the attack of Xuzhou light cavalry.

Li Guang's troops advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and Yang Ye felt confident.

It seems that Li Guang has probably discovered his ambush.

"retreat!"

As a difficult opponent, Yang Ye no longer struggled with Li Guang after the ambush was discovered.

Ming Jin withdrew his troops, and Yang Ye covered the retreat of four thousand cavalry.

The black war eagle hovered in the sky, always watching Yang Ye's whereabouts...

"It's really hard to deal with."

Hua Mulan found that there was no way to plot against Yang Ye.

The opponent's sense of danger was too keen, so Hua Mulan's counter-ambush failed.

Li Guang led his cavalry to shoot and wounded about two hundred cavalry, and the enemy retreated and surrounded them.

"That Yang Ye left when he saw the situation was bad. I wanted to shoot him to death with an arrow."

Li Guang failed to lure Yang Ye out and was unhappy.

Zhou Yafu then arrived. He originally planned to take advantage of the fierce battle between Hua Mulan, Li Guang and Yang Ye to send troops to attack Yang Ye, but when he learned that Yang Ye left immediately, he couldn't help but sigh: "With his caution, he is also a light cavalry person."

, I’m afraid it will be difficult to encircle and suppress him. If we don’t capture or kill him, letting him go back to serve as the Cavalry Commander will cause us even greater trouble.”

"You can pursue."

Hua Mulan stroked the war eagle's wings and asked it to continue to monitor the movements of Yang Ye's cavalry.

Yang Ye's ambush failed and resulted in two hundred casualties, which was already a considerable loss for him.

"How could my ambush be discovered? Or did I underestimate them?"

Yang Ye gathered his cavalry and prepared to attack other villages and towns.

He was puzzled that the ambush against Li Guang had failed.

Yang Ye's 10,000 cavalry moved to Yunlai Town, which was an agricultural town specializing in food supply.

But Yang Ye soon discovered that Hua Mulan and Li Guang's cavalry were approaching again.

Surprised, Yang Ye set up an ambush again, and then...

The ambush was discovered again.

"How is this going?"

Yang Ye failed to set up ambushes twice and was confused.

He and the 10,000 light cavalry could have caused huge damage to Langya Kingdom, but the other party seemed to know his marching route, making it difficult for his ambush to be effective.

If Yang Ye hadn't been cautious and intuitive about danger, the entire army might have been wiped out.

A troop of cavalry returns from a remote county.

"General Zhao Yun, my lord has an order, immediately go to Yunlai Town, gather with Generals Hua Mulan and Li Guang, and hunt Yang Wudi!"

"Everyone, wait, speed up the march!"

Zhao Yun learned that the Langya generals were encircling Yang Ye and immediately went to join him.

On the other side, Xue Rengui, who was attacking remote counties, returned to his troops and also quickly gathered in the Yunlai Town area.

Yang Ye was like poking a hornet's nest, alerting Xia's cavalry generals. Almost all the light cavalry were dispatched in order to defeat or capture Yang Ye as soon as possible.

Yang Ye was very depressed because he found that his whereabouts were completely exposed to Hua Mulan's surveillance.

The most important thing about light cavalry is mobility. They can march quickly and make a surprise attack when necessary. Yang Ye was discovered in many ambushes and he was unable to achieve results.

"I went to Xia City to show off my force and caused panic in the city, so I immediately returned to the army."

Yang Ye, who was discovered for the third time, knew that it would be difficult to use mobility to carry out an ambush, so he planned to attack Xia City, which was only ten kilometers away, to intimidate Xia City and reduce the morale of Langya Kingdom before the war began.

Ten thousand light cavalry quickly marched in the direction of Xia City.

"We have been chasing behind Yang Ye and are very passive. Generals Zhao Yun and Xue Li can set up an ambush on his retreat."

Hua Mulan and Li Guang pursued Yang Ye for a day, but Yang Ye never engaged in direct combat. Yang Ye, who was very intuitive, quickly withdrew once he realized that his ambush had been discovered.

In other words, Yang Ye is always looking for opportunities. If there is no opportunity, he will never take action easily.

The place Yang Ye wants to attack this time is not a town like Shangbi Town or Yunlai Town, but Xiacheng.

"It is impossible for him to capture Xia City. It is very likely that he feinted a shot and then retreated. We may take this opportunity to capture Yang Ye alive with generals Zhao Yun and Xue Li."

Hua Mulan took advantage of her vision and changed her hunting method. Instead of following Yang Ye, she set up an ambush on Yang Ye's retreat.

As for the threat to Xia City... Yang Ye's cavalry could not defeat Xia City defended by Li Xiuning. Yang Ye did not carry any siege equipment.

In Xia City, the city gates are closed.

Generally speaking, martial law is rarely required in Xia City, but this time Yang Ye's cavalry was less than 10 kilometers away from Xia City, causing Langya Kingdom to fall into small-scale chaos.

The Xia City of Langya Kingdom is too close to Donghai Kingdom, which is equivalent to the lord guarding the country's gate.

The advantage is that the main force is gathered in Xia City, making it easy to launch an attack.

A group of soldiers guarding the city were waiting in full formation. Suddenly they saw rolling dust on the horizon, horse hoofs trampling the ground, and the cavalry on horseback were high in fighting spirit!

They are flying the banner of the Xuzhou Allied Forces!

"Enemy attack!"

Xia Cheng's city defense troops beat gongs and drums to remind the lord's palace that Yang Ye's cavalry has arrived at the city!

Guard Li Xiuning led a group of women's troops to the city gate tower. Seeing Yang Ye's cavalry showing off their power below, Liu Mei couldn't help but frown.

Yang Ye is promoting the strength of the Xuzhou Allied Forces.

He has the ability to break through the Langya Kingdom's hunt for him and attack the city once, a second time, or even a third time.

Being attacked by the enemy's cavalry will bring a lot of negative bonuses to the city, and the residents of Xia City have already fallen into panic because of this.

"The cavalry of the Xuzhou coalition has arrived!"

"It is said that the Cavalry Commander of the Xuzhou Allied Forces is Yang Wudi!"

People in the city are panicking, because not long ago, Xia City was besieged for a period of time. Is it going to be besieged again now?

"Post a notice to prevent the people in the city from panic. In a day or two, Yang Wudi will withdraw his troops."

When Chu Tian learned that the troops were approaching the city, he was not worried. The reason was very simple. There was no way that 10,000 cavalry could be used as cannon fodder for the siege. There were at least 10,000 defenders inside the city, and reinforcements were constantly gathering outside the city.

If Yang Ye attacks the city, he will definitely die.

"Lord, Hua Xiong requests to fight!"

Hua Xiong personally brought him to the Lord's Mansion, hoping to make military exploits and gain Chu Tian's trust.

"General Hua Xiong is unparalleled in bravery, but all our light cavalry are outside the city and cannot be pursued."

Chu Tian rejected Hua Xiong's idea of ​​​​asking for a fight, thinking that you should not go out and kill people.

It doesn't matter if the opponent is an ordinary general, but he is a general of the Yang family.

Chu Tian personally led people to the city wall and saw the heroic Li Xiuning, who was observing Yang Wudi's formation.

"Lord Lord."

When Li Xiuning saw Chu Tian arrive, he called him the same as Xia Liang.

But Fang Xuanling, Hua Mulan, and Xue Li called Chu Tian their lord.

Li Xiuning still has a favorable impression of Chu Tian, ​​at least he doesn't have greedy eyes like other lords.
