Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 556 Arrogance
The capital was under siege, but Murong Ke moved left and right all the way, as if he was not in a hurry to return to the defense, trying to find an opportunity to defeat Cui Jin, Lu Bozao, Duan Zhu and Li Du behind him.

But after fighting for so long, all the tribes had already become accustomed to Murong Ke's style.

Cui Jin and Murong Ke had fought several times in the early years. Now they are more cautious. They don't seek merit, but seek no faults. They plan every step, forming a formation when going out, and building a high base when entering. They push forward with their antlers and don't give any chance.

Although this set was slow and cumbersome, it just restrained Murong Ke's cavalry.

Murong Ke left and Cui Jin left. Murong Ke stopped and Cui Jin immediately set up camp...

Murong Ke had no choice but to do so. The Liaoxi Corridor was such a big place, sandwiched between mountains and seas, and the Yan army's cavalry could not maneuver around, so Cui Jin did not have to worry about the rear.

When Li Yue received the news, he smiled. Cui Jin had made a lot of progress in the past few years since he had been in charge of the town. He was not good at attacking, but good at defending.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the support of national strength. If you feed it one bite at a time, a mediocre general will become a famous general...

"Your Majesty, Murong Ke has arrived at White Wolf City." Cui Hong came to report.

"Finally here!" Li Yue became energetic.

Defeat Murong Ke, and the Yan Kingdom is in the bag!

This war has been going on for almost two months now, and Murong Ke can't delay it even if he wants to.

Under Chang Wei's organization, Guandong's human and material resources will be continuously invested.

The longer it takes, the greater the disadvantage Murong Ke will be.

What's more, there is still a partial division in the Liaodong Peninsula.

"Captain Cui was blocked in Tuhe." Cui Hong had a trace of worry on his face.

Murong Ke had an army of [-], plus the [-] defenders in Dragon City, which amounted to nearly [-] troops. However, the Black Cloud Cavalry only had more than [-] troops, so Murong Ke had a greater advantage in terms of military strength.

It's not that Li Yue didn't want to bring more troops, and running long distances would put great logistical pressure.

It is no longer easy to bring over [-] horsemen.

Cui Jin was blocked in Tuhe, which meant that [-] black cloud elites fought against Yan's [-] army.

"There is no need to worry too much. Murong Ke only has more than [-] elite troops under his command, and the rest are just a mob. There is nothing to be afraid of!" Li Yue had absolute confidence in the Black Cloud Army.

"Nevertheless, Your Majesty can defend and attack. Wait until Governor Cui breaks through Tuhe, or Lu Guang's troops come from the north of Yinshan Mountain to surround and annihilate Murong Ke."

Murong Ke couldn't afford to wait, but Li Yue could.

Lu Guang still had [-] Black Cloud Knights on his hands. They were originally protecting the grain road, but now that Murong Ke had retreated, this group of troops was freed up.

"Yes!" Li Yueran said.

Lu Qing opened the tent and walked in, "Your Majesty, Murong Ke has sent a letter of war."

"In the past, Shi Hu's 45-strong army attacked our country, Yan, but I defeated it with two thousand elite cavalry. Since then, the Zhao Kingdom has been unable to recover. If we raise an army to invade, we will definitely repeat the same mistake!"

"Arrogant!" Li Yue burst out laughing after reading, "Murong Ke is emboldening himself."

The Battle of Thorn City was indeed fought beautifully, but the Murong clan's era has passed.

"How can I, Daliang, be comparable to Jie and Zhao?" Cui Hong sneered.

How many of Jie Zhao's 45 troops are capable soldiers?Most of them are civilians from Hebei who were forcibly recruited.

Jie Zhao's logistical supply capabilities simply cannot support such a large-scale war.

Rather than being defeated by Murong Ke, it would be better to say that he collapsed on his own.

Li Yue said: "Reply a letter: There are 25 people under our command now, which is [-] times that of back then. We can kill them quickly!"

"Wei!" Cui Hong picked up his pen and wrote.

"Has the Goguryeo envoy arrived?" Li Yue not only wanted to destroy the Yan Kingdom in this battle, but also wanted to show Goguryeo.

"Before they arrive, Goguryeo is in full swing and seems to be disobedient." Lu Qing cupped his hands and said.

The people of Liaodong have been fierce since ancient times, and Goguryeo will never give up the fat land of Liaodong.

But this is fine, if Goguryeo is respectful, there will be no excuse to destroy them in the future.

Two days later, Murong Ke's [-]-strong army finally arrived, arrayed south of the Chongqing River, with banners covering the sun, armor as high as mountains, and the cavalry forming a long queue, touching the low sky.A huge scroll with the character "Yan" stands under the blue sky.

As long as Murong Ke does not fall, the spirit of Yan Jun will still be there.

"Fight, fight, fight..." The shouts of the Yan army kept coming and going, which was heart-stirring.

"General Lu will arrive in five days. Governor Cui is attacking Tuhe." Lu Qing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Murong Ke won't wait that long. He ordered the entire army to prepare for battle." Li Yue glanced at the pole-toothed sword.

As soon as he finished speaking, the enemy's drums and horns sounded.

The shouts were overwhelming, and countless horse hooves trampled on the ground, like two long snakes flanking them from the left and right.

The gates of Dragon City opened wide, and a group of horsemen and cavalry came out one after another.

A hundred-footed worm is dead but not stiff.

Although the Yan Kingdom declined, it still had considerable fighting power.

Li Yue had rarely seen this kind of momentum in so many years, and only Fu Hong and Ran Min had seen it in the army back then.

"The forwards don't seem to be the main force of the Yan army." Cui Hong kept staring at the battlefield and found a clue.

Li Yue looked around and saw that the cavalry on both sides were light cavalry wearing armor and carrying bows and arrows. The army was in a very disorderly manner, and both the soldiers and horses looked weak.

The infantry coming up from the south had some momentum, and there were a lot of armors in the first two or three miles.

And Murong Ke's fine cavalry were gathered under the teeth.

"He wants to use my hand to eliminate the hidden dangers of Yan Kingdom."

Murong Ke worked hard for the Yan State and even risked his life, and he would not let go of these powerful chiefs and powerful men.

Only those with strength can be qualified to be kind. When it came to this point, Murong Ke did everything he could.

"It's a pity that this person is my enemy, Daliang." Cui Hong sighed.

"Instruct Liu Laozhi to lead three thousand elite cavalry from west to east, and Zhuge Kan to lead three thousand elite cavalry from east to west to wipe out these rabble first!" Li Yue ordered.

Li Yue was not worried about the thousands of infantry on the front. These antlers and trenches could kill them all.

If Murong Ke didn't go into battle personally, these people alone would be useless.

dong dong dong...

War drums also sounded in the Black Cloud Camp.

Two cavalrymen flew out and headed straight to the left and right.

Although they are all cavalry, they are completely different. Heiyunxiao's cavalrymen all have two horses and wear iron armor. Although the horses are not armored on the front, they all wear face curtains and breastplates to ensure impact and avoid the risk of charging. Wounded by enemy bows and arrows.

If you are far away, use a crossbow, and if you are close, use a spear.

Some old soldiers are also equipped with powerful crossbows and long spears.

Four cavalry groups collided head-on, and the Yan army immediately fell on their backs, not daring to fight to the death, and fled far away.

Liu Laozhi and Zhuge Kan took advantage of the situation and attacked Murong Ping's troops who had emerged from Dragon City.

Two brave generals and six thousand fine cavalry easily defeated the Yan army.

As Li Yue expected, most of the Yan army was a mob and vulnerable.

However, the thousands of infantrymen directly south worked desperately to remove the antlers and fill in the trench.

The middle base army was raining arrows, but these people reacted in time and remained calm in the face of danger. They picked up their big shields and continued to fill the trenches and remove the antlers.

"Who is this tribe?"

This group of troops was much stronger than the two groups of cavalry, but not quite like Murong Ke's elite. Many of them had tattered armor, bare feet, and no shoes.
