The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Outside Liugu City, five hundred Beiyan cavalry galloped on their horses, causing smoke and dust to fill the sky.

The Daliang garrison on the top of the city realized something was wrong and immediately closed the city gate and put all their strength on guard. As a result, they were greeted by a hail of arrows.

The cavalry of the Yan Kingdom are famous for their unparalleled riding and archery. Even on horseback, the accuracy of their bows and arrows is very sharp.

It stands to reason that five hundred cavalry are not suitable for attacking a city. Not only are they the wrong type of troops, but they are also too few in number.

But Liugu City is too small and has no decent city walls at all. The so-called city gates are just thin wooden boards spliced ​​together.

Liugucheng was originally a border town. Later, it gained some popularity due to the trade exchanges between the two countries.

This time the Dayan cavalry came to attack, not to occupy this small and weak town, but to rob it.

This kind of thing is very common at the border. When Daliang was strong in the past, Daliang's troops often went to the enemy's country to plunder.

However, with the decline of the imperial court and the weakening of Liang's national strength, the border guards no longer dared to go out to plunder. Instead, small groups of cavalry from Dayu and Dayan often came to fight against the autumn wind.

Although the number of Liugu City defenders was twice that of Dayan's cavalry, they really didn't have much sense of resistance. The city gate was quickly breached, and five hundred Dayan's cavalry drove straight into the city.

Dayan's cavalry were like hungry wolves, like bandits crossing the border. They killed men and robbed women when they saw them, and the city was filled with chaos.

Most of the Liugu City defenders had surrendered. Even those who were still resisting were demoralized and seemed to have accepted their fate of being captured.

A cavalryman from Dayan arrogantly used a spear to pick up a soldier, stuck him on the city wall, and swore his cruelty to the people in the city.

When there was mourning in Liugu City, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the city.

"It's Daliang's army!" A Daliang soldier who had already surrendered suddenly screamed.

Dayan Cavalry turned around to take a look, and then found a spear whizzing towards him, piercing his body fiercely, and with unabated force, it stabbed his companion behind him.

The sudden attack confused the Dayan cavalry for a while, but they quickly reacted.

In the distance, a large group of men and horses were rushing towards Liugu City at high speed.

"Enemy attack!" Dayan Cavalry drew out the scimitar from his waist and shouted loudly. Just as he was about to ride his horse to meet the enemy, another spear shot out and knocked him off his horse.

Then the Dayan Cavalry saw spears flying towards them one after another, each of which could accurately take away a life.

The cavalrymen of Daliang are getting closer and closer. The leader is wearing strong armor and carrying five short spears on his back. He rushes towards the enemy with a rainbow of momentum and throws the short spears casually. No one can stop them and takes the lead.

The troops from both sides quickly engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and the general led by Daliang also threw away his short spear, taking away five lives.

Dayan Cavalry picked up the sharp scimitar with a ferocious smile on his face.

In the past, when Daliang and Dayan's cavalry fought hard, it was Daliang's side that suffered.

Because Daliang is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, a land without horses, the cavalry's combat effectiveness is relatively weak.

On the contrary, Beiyan's cavalry was unparalleled in the world and was the best among all countries. It never lost a horse battle.

But this time was a bit special, because the man headed by Daliang was really powerful in combat. He not only had the skill of flying a spear, but also showed extremely exaggerated combat power after close combat.

With a wave of the man's spear, the two Beiyan cavalrymen were swept off their horses and trampled to death by the horses behind them.

The man was like a sharp thorn, piercing directly into Dayan's cavalry. He slashed with a big spear in his hand, unable to defeat any enemy.

Some Dayan cavalrymen even discovered that the man could lift the corpse away with a casual shot and use it as a weapon to hit the enemy.

A large Yan cavalryman, weighing more than a hundred pounds, was as light as nothing in the man's hand. When he was thrown, he was like a cannonball, unstoppable.

Dayan's cavalry soon lost their fighting spirit.

The Liang cavalry was just the opposite. Under the leadership of the leading general, their momentum increased steadily and they beat the enemy to their knees.

The defenders of Liugu City who originally surrendered were immediately delighted when they discovered that the divine soldiers had descended from the sky. They were even more impressed with the general who led them.

"I am King Jing of Daliang. I am a soldier of Daliang. I will accompany you to the battle to kill the enemy."

A loud shout spread across the battlefield, and many Liugu City defenders boiled with excitement and took up arms to resist again.

Seeing that the situation was over, Dayan's cavalry did not care about looting and fled for their lives.

"withdraw."

If there is one deserter on the battlefield, there will be countless more. Soon the five hundred cavalry will flee in all directions, but Daliang's side guards the only exit of the city gate, trapping the enemy in the city life and death.

The cavalry cannot exert its maximum strength in the city, but once they escape from the city and reach the open area, it will be like a bird flying at the sky high, and Daliang will not be able to catch up even if they want to. "Kill." Wang Gang raised his butcher knife and led his men to make dumplings for Dayan Cavalry.

Wang Gang was unparalleled in bravery and could not defeat anyone with his sword. He even split a Dayan cavalryman in half with one strike, frightening his enemies to the core.

There was no chance for Dayan to make a comeback, as Wang Gang killed hundreds of people by himself.

Wang Gang was covered in blood, as if he was possessed by an ancient overlord. The [-] cavalry of the Beimo Army led by him seemed to have been beaten to death, and they cut down the Beiyan cavalry, and they were really furious.

After the war, Lie Zhanying counted that Wang Gang killed 87 Dayan cavalrymen in total, eight of whom were shot to death by him with flying guns, and the rest were hacked to death in hand-to-hand combat.

This time, out of Dayan's five hundred cavalry, less than a hundred escaped, and more than two hundred were killed or injured. Wang Gang killed less than half of them by himself.

The people of Liugu City survived the disaster and were very grateful to Wang Gang and kept shouting "Long live King Jing". Lie Zhanying was afraid of violating his taboo and quickly stopped the people from shouting.

Wang Gang asked people to collect all the horses and baggage left by the Dayan cavalry and regard them as military exploits. The rest of the captured Dayan cavalry were all executed without leaving any one alive. Their heads were all hung on the walls of Liugu City.

Lie Zhanying was a die-hard loyalist to Prince Jing's palace and would only unswervingly execute Wang Gang's orders.

But this time, Fang Fu's deputy general, Xiong Kuo, who followed him, stopped Wang Gang.

"Your Majesty, the execution is unknown. Execution of prisoners will result in impeachment by the imperial censor."

Wang Gang snorted coldly: "These Dayan cavalry are burning, killing and looting in my land of Daliang. It is unbearable. Only killing can appease my anger."

Xiong Kuo still wanted to dissuade him, but Lie Zhanying had already slashed the butcher knife at the captive Dayan.

…………

Langya Mountain, Langya Pavilion.

A pigeon flew into this mysterious organization, and a dedicated person took down the information and handed it to Lin Chen, the young pavilion master.

"Young Pavilion Master, this is the latest information coming from the border of Daliang."

Lin Chen accepted the information, unfolded it, and couldn't help but smile.

After sending his men away, Lin Chen put away the information and walked towards the medicine furnace with a frivolous expression.

At this time, there was a scholar in the medicine furnace, wrapped in a quilt and sitting on the couch reading a book. There were three stoves around him, which made the medicine furnace very hot.

The scholar is in his thirties, thin and pale, as if recovering from a serious illness.

Lin Chen walked into the medicine furnace and scolded the scholar: "Didn't I tell you to stop reading and have a good rest?"

The scholar raised his head and glanced at Lin Chen, but did not put down the book.

"Idle is idle."

Lin Chen snatched the book from the scholar's hand and said angrily: "When you come to my Langya Pavilion to recuperate, you should listen to the doctor's instructions. I have never seen such a disobedient patient like you."

The young man was not angry when the books in his hands were taken away. He just wrapped himself in a quilt and coughed twice.

"If you don't let me read, just play chess with me!"

Lin Chen said with a straight face: "You think I am as idle as you? As the young master of Langya Pavilion, I am usually very busy, okay?"

The scholar smiled and said, "Aren't you just coming to my place to be lazy?"

Lin Chen's mouth twitched and he said, "I'm here to give you Daliang's latest battle report."

The scholar was stunned and frowned: "Dayan and Daliang started a war? It shouldn't be! This time Dayan sent troops just to plunder, and it won't really cause a war, right?"

Lin Chen chuckled and said: "The one who took the initiative to provoke the war between the two countries this time was not Dayan, but Daliang."

The scholar was even more surprised. Since the most elite troops in Daliang were wiped out ten years ago, they have improved and taken advantage of the situation. They have always been passive defenses. How could they take the initiative to provoke the Battle of Yanliang!

Lin Chen handed the information to the scholar and said in a strange tone:
"This old friend of yours has something special. He can behead more than a hundred people by himself, yet he has the talent of a general."

The information in the scholar's hands is the battle report of Liugu City.

After reading it, the scholar frowned even deeper.

"Jingyan actually led the charge to attack the Yan cavalry." The scholar coughed excitedly, his eyes full of worry.
