Chapter 982: Dayan Dragon Riders, approaching the city
Dongyan City.
On top of the city tower, Zhao Changying and Liu Fengping stood with their hands behind their backs, solemn expressions on their faces.
"Report, Commander Zhao, the Yan army is rushing towards our Dongyan City. There are a total of 150,000 troops, with more than half of the cavalry!"
"Probe again and report again!"
Zhao Changying looked stern, and Liu Fengping on the side also let out a long sigh: "Old friend, I'm afraid we are really alone this time."
"Hahaha, I'm so scared. Dongyan City is tall and thick, and there are 50,000 defenders, which is enough!"
"hope so!"
Liu Fengping shook his head slightly, his eyes becoming distant: "Da Yan's plan to trick Chen Cang into hiding was great!"
"I didn't expect them to be so courageous!"
“None of us can afford to lose if we enter the country alone.”
Zhao Changying was silent. Now Da Yan's main force was all in Changluo, and Da Yan marched from Muye and Shanyang. The speed of the fall of the two cities was beyond their imagination.
"Is the road from Changluo here open?"
"Would you like to send someone to investigate!"
"No need."
Zhao Changying shook his head, with a gleam in his eyes: "Since they are preparing to attack the retreat, they will never give us a chance."
"What I'm worried about now is, what if they bypass our Dongyan City again and attack Xuanjian Pass?"
"Won't!"
Liu Fengping said with determination: "The Chinese Legion has already started. It doesn't mean much for them to conquer Xuanjian Pass at this time."
"If Dongyan City falls into their hands, Changluo will become an isolated city, and the retreat of hundreds of thousands of our troops will be cut off by them. That will be the ultimate disaster for me, Dayu!"
"Dong Yan, it won't break!"
With an unshakable determination in his eyes, Zhao Changying said in a deep voice: "Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is on the front line in person. This is the closest I, Dayu, have come to winning the title in more than a hundred years."
"We can't afford to lose!"
"Da Yan can't afford to lose either, so he can only fight to the death!"
"Report——"
Another group of flying cavalry came on horseback and galloped up to the city tower. After performing a military salute, they said loudly: "I am reporting to the two princes that I will finally find the Great Yanlong Banner. Fifty thousand cavalry will serve as the vanguard and rush straight to our east." Coming from Yancheng.”
"Da Yan Long Banner!"
"The Great Flame Dragon Rider and the Great Flame Dragon Rider, I didn't expect that they would appear at this time."
"Pass my order, prepare the entire army for war, and block all city gates on all sides!"
"promise!"
After the military order was issued, the entire Dongyan City was mobilized. At one end of the skyline, a black line could be seen rushing toward Dongyan City like a flood breaking its embankment.
"Boom!"
A thunder exploded in the void, and both old men's expressions trembled.
"Winter thunder?"
"Look, that's Da Yan's luck... unexpectedly..."
"It's Da Yan. What happened that could actually damage Da Yan's luck?"
"It's raining... red rain!"
"Is this... the legendary rain of blood?"
Zhao Changying rubbed his eyes vigorously, stretched out his hand to take a handful of raindrops, and then laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, okay!"
"I, Dayu, kill the legendary general Dayan!"
"I am so strong, Dayu!"
"Cai, congratulations to everyone!"
Suddenly, the top of the city tower was filled with cheers, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly shaken. As the iron cavalry pressed down on the border in the distance, a feeling of suffocation was felt like the pressure of the top of a mountain.
"Dayan Dragon Rider!"
"It's them!"
Liu Fengping's expression condensed, and he looked at each other with Zhao Changying, and their expressions darkened.
It’s going to be difficult this time.
Da Yan Dragon Riders are Da Yan's heritage, and the group of people in front of them are still the same group of people decades ago.
No one knows why they don't age, and no one knows how powerful the Great Yan Dragon Riders are, because they have no defeat so far!
The two of them were not optimistic about the current situation. Although there were 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city, they were not elite soldiers.
Although Dongyan City is tall and thick, it is isolated and helpless. The enemy's army is several times larger than our own, and it is not known whether there will be reinforcements in the future.
Therefore, this battle will be difficult...
"Somebody come!"
"exist!"
"Get on the catapult, bed crossbow!"
"promise!"
Catapults and crossbows are two strategic weapons left in Dongyan City. Nowadays, the armor weapons manufactured by Dayu are given priority to the five legions. Dongyan City is not on the front line. There are only dozens of catapults and more than forty people in the city. Zhang bed crossbow.
"Woooooh——"
"Kill!"
Without the slightest pause, the Da Yan Dragon Riders dismounted and launched an attack on Dong Yan City.
This cavalry can not only gallop on the grassland, but is still the most elite infantry when dismounted.
"Fire the arrow!"
Zhao Changying waved his hand, and dense arrows were thrown downwards. However, when the arrows fell from the sky, half of them were stopped by the swords of the soldiers of Dayan Dragon Rider.
Part of the shot missed, and the remaining small part was hit by the arrow, but it did not penetrate the armor.
"Old Zhao..."
Liu Fengping seemed to want to say something, but Zhao Changying waved his hand to stop him and shouted in a deep voice: "Crossbow, catapult, release!"
With a series of crashes, more than a hundred crossbows shot out, and hundreds of flying stones volleyed on the tower.
In an instant, screams rang out from below.
Zhao Changying's expression softened a lot and he smiled heartily: "Hahaha, I really thought he was invulnerable!"
"It turns out that they are all raised by father and mother!"
"Soldiers, standing under the city tower is Da Yan's most elite force, Da Yan Dragon Riders."
"Now, they have dismounted and come under our arrows. Listen to my order and do your best to repel them!"
"Yes!"
For a moment, the soldiers on the tower were in panic, and their morale stabilized.
"Damn it, I didn't expect that I could fight the legendary Dayan Dragon Riders in my lifetime!"
"Hahaha, it's enough for my life!"
"Even the legendary generals of Dayan were killed by Dayu. How dare a few thieves attack Dongyan City!"
Zhao Changying looked at the morale and kept commanding the defense on the tower. The Dayan Dragon Riders seemed to be attacking the city just on a whim. When they saw that the giant crossbows on the tower could cause effective damage to them, they did not continue to attack.
"Retreat!"
"The Dayan Dragon Riders retreated."
"Haha, good!"
"We really repelled the Dayan Dragon Riders!"
The armored soldiers on the tower were all delighted and cheered.
Zhao Changying's face was extremely gloomy. This was just the vanguard of the Yan army. Moreover, the Yan Dragon Riders had not yet shown their true combat power!
"Old Zhao, how about we retreat to Xuanjian Pass!"
"Let His Highness withdraw from Changluo!"
"No!"
Zhao Changying's face became serious, and he denied it bluntly: "Changluo is the first pass for our army to advance westward. If Changluo returns to Dayan, it will not be so easy to capture it again."
"Your Highness must not retreat!"
"And we can't retreat. If we retreat, Dayan will completely control our food supply. At that time..."
