People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 146
When the sun came out, the darkness was completely dispelled, and Guiyi City also showed its signs. This city was built decades ago, and now it looks a little dilapidated. It is obvious that the Qiang people did not maintain it frequently.

They don't have that ability, or don't have that awareness. They live a half-agricultural and half-pastoral life. Although they usually farm land, they still herd more.

It is not within the scope of their consideration to defend the city, so they have not maintained the city.

When the sky was really bright, a group of Qiang cavalry came running. These cavalry consisted of more than 100 people. They wore gowns made of sheepskin and their hair was loose. They looked like Qiang people, and they were Qiang people.

Along the road left in the middle of the farmland on both sides, they ran directly to Guiyi City. The Qiang soldiers above and below the city saw that they were also Qiang people, and there were not many of them, so they didn't take too much precaution.

After they approached, they realized that they were not familiar people, and immediately stepped forward to stop them, asking who they were, where they came from, and where they were going.

The leader of these Qiang cavalrymen had a pair of bright eyes under his loose hair, and judging from his appearance, he was Li Yao's younger brother Li Yan.

His grandmother was a Qiang, so he pretended to be a Qiang without any flaws.

At this time, Li Yan looked at the city gate, which was already in front of his eyes, and there were only a dozen Qiang soldiers who came to stop him, so he couldn't help but feel overjoyed:
"Big Brother is still smart, but Big Brother is too cautious. With this lax defense, there is no need to make up reasons to let them relax their vigilance, and they can directly seize the city gate!"

In fact, it is not to blame that these Qiang soldiers were unprepared, but that they were too sudden this time. Not only did they rush over without revealing their traces, they even did not reveal any news in advance.

Just come, who would know that this is the enemy!
Batu looked at Li Yan and the others. Seeing that the other party did not speak, he frowned and asked again:

"Which one are you from?"

Hearing this, Li Yan showed a friendly smile on his face. He rode forward unconsciously, and then opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he drew his sword and killed Batu in an instant.

Under the horrified eyes of other Qiang soldiers, he raised the long knife in his hand, and really opened his mouth and shouted loudly:
"Seize the city gate!"

After finishing speaking, he rushed out first, slashing left and right with a long knife, killing and wounding several Qiang soldiers.

The dozen or so Qiang soldiers were killed by Li Yan and the hundred cavalry behind him in just a moment, and the city gate was immediately taken down.

It wasn't until this time that more Qiang soldiers at the top of the city and inside the city realized that they were encountering an enemy attack.

Although the military quality is very low, there is no discipline at all, and even the defense is extremely lax...

But these Qiang soldiers were still able to fight bravely. They yelled strangely, gathered more companions, took their own weapons, and rushed towards the city gate.

Li Yan got off his horse and held a long blood-stained knife. Instead of taking the opportunity to rush into the city, he led people to guard the city gate as Li Yao said:
"Get off your horses, get off your horses, and use these horses to block the city gates. We will kill as many enemy troops as they come. Quickly fire the arrows and let my father and brother know!"

Then someone outside the city gate opened a bow and shot an arrow, and they shot three arrows in a row, and the three ringing arrows shot into the air one after another.

Hey!Hey!Hey!
It seemed like birds were chirping, and three sharp piercing sounds spread out, which meant that the city gate had been captured!

"kill!"

And the fighting at the city gate broke out completely. There were at least hundreds of Qiang soldiers. They roared, screamed, and rushed over with their weapons raised.

Li Yan was fierce and brave. Even with only a long knife, the Qiang soldiers he killed kept retreating. No one could survive three moves under his hands. Either he was killed or injured by him.

There were still frightened horses running around, and it was they who scattered the Qiang soldiers, which greatly reduced the pressure on Li Yan and others.

However, these frightened horses were dying tragically at the hands of Qiang soldiers one after another. Li Yan was also very distressed seeing this situation. These are war horses, good horses, and they are fat and strong, capable of long-distance raids.

Now that he was killed like this, how could he not feel distressed, so he became even more mad, and kept swiping his knife to kill all the enemies in front of him. There were corpses one after another under his feet, and finally the long knife began to roll.

But that tough and brave figure also left a deep impression on everyone. The Qiang soldiers in front of him began to tremble with fear, while the Qiang people behind them boosted their morale.

Although most of the two sides that were fighting were Qiang people, they absolutely showed no mercy when fighting. The corpses on the ground are the best evidence.

Time passed bit by bit, until the sound of horseshoes came from outside the city, boom, boom, boom... I don't know who was the first to yell and run, and then the Qiang soldiers scattered and fled in all directions.

There is a limit to bravery, even if you are brave enough to die, you have to be afraid at this time.

Li Yan has become a blood man. He first looked at the fleeing Qiang soldiers with a contemptuous smile on his face, then turned his head and said loudly:

"All spread out, all spread out, our cavalry is ready to enter the city!"

As Yi Cong's cavalry passed through the city gate and entered the city, it was a foregone conclusion for them to seize the city.

Li Wenhou came on horseback. He looked at Li Yan, who was covered in blood and had a long knife in his hand, with a gentle look in his eyes. Then he pointed at Li Yan and laughed proudly:

"My son is brave and good at fighting, not inferior to the boss of the Beigong family!"

Li Yao followed closely behind. Looking at Li Yan's appearance, he felt both distressed and relieved, and then said without hesitation:

"This battle won the city, Ah Yan's contribution should be the first!"

Li Yan grinned, held his head high, and was full of pride. Li Wenhou was his father, but he was closer to Li Yao.

Who told Li Yan, when Li Lin was young, Li Wenhou either fought with Duan Jiong or trained soldiers in the barracks.

The two brothers grew up with Li Yao since they were young, so the brotherhood is naturally extremely deep.

Now that Li Wenhou praised him and Li Yao also praised him, Li Yan must be happy in his heart, and his face was full of smiles at this moment.

At the same time, Li Xiong and Li Hu also successfully seized the Heqiao. It was a bit overkill for a Heqiao to send the two of them together with the left and right cavalry.

So after seizing the river bridge, they immediately dispersed their men and horses to completely block the road, not to mention getting close to the river bridge, even if they were close to the Yellow River, they would be arrested by the left and right cavalry.

Therefore, the news of their dispatch of troops and the news of their occupation of Guiyi City has always been blocked on the north bank of the Yellow River, and has never been transmitted to the south bank of the Yellow River. The enemy army is in the open and our army is in the dark.
