Chapter 125: The Capture of Anxi

The appointed time soon came, and Li Yu also led a large army to garrison Anxi in accordance with Atahai's orders.

Probably in order to avoid too much loss, Anxi's original garrison was transferred by Atahai in the name of changing defenses.

Affected by this, there are many fewer guards in the city, and they can only maintain basic defensive functions, so there are many fewer soldiers patrolling the city.

With no replacement, they had to work through the night.

With only more than 1,000 defenders in the city, it was difficult to resist the enemy's attack.

Being here, Li Yu was a little uneasy.

He still had doubts in his heart, "Will the Red Phoenix Army really come to attack the city according to the agreed plan?" After all, it is unimaginable that Zhou Cheng would leak information so easily.

At this moment, a few miles away from Anxi, there was the sound of horses' hooves.

Seeing the familiar flag, the city guard suddenly became anxious.

His name was Maubas, which means evil tiger in Mongolian, and he was like a vicious tiger who bit his enemies to death in every battle, and was thus promoted to the rank of head of a thousand households.

But his exploits came to an abrupt end after encountering the Red Phoenix Army.

The different battles made it difficult for Maubas to adapt, and because he had been injured in his left leg, he could no longer continue to perform the duties of cavalry, so he had to retreat from the front line and run here to think that Daru Huachi.

Seeing a familiar enemy, Maubus immediately exclaimed.

"It's the Red Phoenix Army!"

The whining horns shook people's ears, and the soldiers panicked, pulling their iron armor against each other, and they looked at the swarming enemy with desperate expressions.

Li Yu looked at the past from afar, and saw a large banner about a foot long erected in the attacking army, and a red phoenix was painted on the banner, with its wings spread and its eyes sharp, which was really impressive.

"Is it finally here?"

With a tense heart, he glanced sideways at Maubas next to him.

Although it was a bitterly cold time in October, Maobas's forehead was already covered with sweat, and he was really worried, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, listen to my orders! ”

Although the soldiers were frightened and uneasy, they naturally felt much more at ease when they saw their commander taking the lead, and they ran to the urn city one after another, pushing out the cannons, and aiming the black breeches at the enemy who came to wash in the distance.

"Guys, I'm sorry!"

Watching everyone move, Li Yu bit his lip and felt a little nervous.

Li Yu did not tell Maubas about Atahai's plan, in fact, in order to avoid the failure of the entire mission, the soldiers in the entire city did not know that there was such a plan.

And under the city, the Red Phoenix Army has come here.

They saw that the city was ready for defense, and in anger, they also pushed out one artillery cannon after another, dozens of artillery guns started together, and soon blasted the city head through a gap, and the Red Phoenix Army attacking from a distance was also on standby, waiting for the artillery to break the city head, they rushed into the city and killed.

Maubas looked shocked and praised: "It is worthy of the Red Phoenix Army, the battle is so fierce!"

Then he shouted, "Everyone, start the battle for me at once!"

Maubas, who had fought with the Red Phoenix Army before, clearly understood that with the fierce artillery fire, it was the Red Phoenix Army's strong charge like a wave.

In some cases, the damage caused by this charge was far greater than that of the artillery bombardment.

But in the distance, the Red Phoenix Army was only continuing to bombard, and there was no intention of charging at all, and even the horses were slack shepherds, waving their tails lazily, without any intention of charging.

"Strange, why didn't they charge?"

Maubas was confused, seeing that the other party was always standing still, just because the other party was trying to deter.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers in the city also followed the instructions and carried the wood, masonry and all kinds of boulders that had been prepared long ago to the city, preparing to repair the city that had been broken by the artillery.

After the cannonfire stopped, the Red Phoenix Army in the distance moved again.

"Damn, these guys are charging again?"

Now is the crucial time to repair the city walls.

Fearing that the other party would break into the city, Maubas immediately jumped off the city and led the five hundred cavalry in the city directly out of the city to meet the battle.

His five hundred cavalry were not leather-clad light cavalry, but heavily armed heavy cavalry, though the heavy cavalry had begun to fall behind under the threat of guns.

But in the face of ordinary cannon fodder, the long-trained heavy cavalry is also enough to exert considerable strength.

"Everyone, charge with me!"

Seeing the cavalry swarming on the opposite side, although he was afraid in his heart, with the encouragement of the Immortal Heaven, he immediately mustered up his courage and urged his war horse to rush towards the opposite military formation.

This rush, when he landed, dozens of strikers were directly killed under the horse.

Maubas was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, "It's strange. Why is the other party so rubbish?" In the distance, although those cavalrymen were shooting with their spears, they were too bumpy on horseback, and the guns they put were just a sound.

"Haha! It seems that not all the Red Phoenix Army are elite. ”

Maubas suddenly laughed, and with a sharp swing of the long knife in his hand, he immediately hacked the two cavalry who attacked to the ground, and then led his cavalry to rush towards the depths of the military formation, wanting to kill the general who commanded the army.

In a few moments, he saw a group of cavalry gathering under the banner in the distance.

These cavalry are a little different from other cavalry, wearing only a piece of leather armor, providing basic defensive capabilities, not as perverted defense as the Mongol heavy cavalry, but they have too many weapons on their horses.

Three guns and three sabers are enough to make any enemy fearful.

When they saw Maubas coming, they immediately removed their guns.

"Bang bang bang!"

The familiar gunfire rang out again, and the cavalry around Maubus fell to the ground.

When he saw this scene, he was already shocked in his heart: "Damn, it's really the Red Phoenix Army!" Seeing that there was still a hundred feet away from the other party, he immediately turned his horse's head and ran directly towards the city.

When the rest of the heavy cavalry saw this, they also turned around and returned to the city of Anxi.

And after this battle, the only remaining 500 heavy cavalry was only 400 people.

"General, what is the strength of the enemy?"

Seeing Maubas stepping on the city, Li Yu stepped forward and asked with concern.

Maubas's forehead was covered with sweat, and he replied: "The other party is strong, I almost folded in it." Then he saw that the other party was still attacking, and hurriedly said: "Everyone come forward for me, and they must not be allowed to break into the city." ”

At the top of the city, the rest of the soldiers went out together, firing cannons, shooting arrows, throwing stones, in short, just hoping to be able to beat the other party out, as for what bibimbap to use, it didn't matter at all.

Taking advantage of this time, Maubas also hurriedly organized his subordinates to gather firewood, rubble, bricks, rubble and other collected materials, and re-blocked the place where the city had been bombed.

Seeing that the city wall was repaired, the Chifeng army outside the city also gritted their teeth, so they had to give up the siege, leave Anxi City again, and set up camp several miles away from here, waiting for the right time to attack the city.

Seeing that the enemy had given up, Maubas was also relieved, but he had many doubts in his heart: "Why is there such a huge disparity in the strength of the other side? On the one hand, the soldiers at the bottom are not satisfactory, and there is no doubt that they are brave with the stragglers, but on the other side, they are extremely elite, and they have killed more than 100 of my men in just one round of shooting." It's really weird. ”

"It's just that the opponent's strength is so amazing, I'm afraid we can't hold it alone. In that case, why don't you ask Attahai for help?" Li Yu stepped forward and said.

Maubas closed his head and replied, "Indeed. If there is another time, I am afraid that our Anxi City will also be difficult to preserve. Now, we have to ask the general first and see what he is going to do!"

The two agreed to immediately ask his subordinates to pass on the matter to Atahai and ask for his advice.

It's just that Li Yu looked at Maubas in front of him and thought about it in his heart.

"If Maubas knows, he is just a bait used by Atahai to attract enemies, and he can be discarded when the other party takes the bait, but what should he do if he doesn't know?"

Li Yu didn't care about this and retreated.

The sun slowly set in the east, until the last rays of afterglow were gone, and the whole land was dark again.

At this time, Li Yu appeared in front of the city gate.

"Master Li, it's so late, do you still want to go out?"

The guard wondered.

According to Daruhua Chimobas, they were given a great order that the gates of the city should not be opened unless ordered by Marubas, lest the enemy infiltrate.

The corners of Li Yu's mouth curled slightly, but he said, "What do you think?" Without waiting for the two of them to react, his hand flashed, and he directly killed the two guards in front of him, lowered his head and looked at the corpse lying on the ground almost indifferently, and said hideously.

"Of course it's Kaesong surrendered!"

Li Yu waved his hand behind him, and the guards who followed him stepped forward and began to push the city gate together.

The city gate creaked, revealing the Red Phoenix Army that had already been prepared outside.

Looking at the revealing figure, the corners of Li Yu's mouth curled, and he was secretly happy: "No matter what the situation of this battle is, I will be prosperous in this way." ”

Indeed, if the Red Phoenix Army wins, he will be rewarded with the capture of Anxi City, and he will naturally be treated a lot.

Even if Atahai used this to annihilate the Red Phoenix Army, Li Yu could also take this step to ascend to the sky.

No matter how you calculate it, there seems to be no possibility of inevitable failure!

Along the gate, countless soldiers quickly broke into the city of Anxi.

As soon as they stepped into the city, they immediately took their men and horses and ran directly towards the city. After passing by the house next to it, he broke into it directly, killed the people in the house, and robbed them of their belongings.

Li Yu looked puzzled, with the strict military discipline of the Red Phoenix Army, he categorically did not allow his soldiers to do this kind of behavior.

He asked in a low voice, "May I ask, is Zhou Cheng here then?"

"Zhou Cheng, what are you looking for him?" Zhao Da looked vigilant and looked at Li Yu with a little rejection.

From this person, Zhao Da felt a disgusting bureaucratic feeling.
