On March 12, grass buds on the grassland had begun to grow, and everything was green.

After nightfall, Dragon City was silent, and the sky was full of bright stars, twinkling with little stars.

The vanguard army under the King of Youhe took advantage of the night to rush across the grassland and launched an attack on Longcheng.

"Kill! Kill for me!"

The barbarians brandished their swords and rushed towards the lightly guarded Dragon City.

In their view, the only enemies here were those infected with the plague and had no resistance at all.

Longcheng is surrounded by walls, but they are far less solid than the cities in the Central Plains. After the initial battle, the walls were in ruins and the city gates were crumbling.

The Hu Lu soldiers charged on horseback and quickly broke into Longcheng.

There was an eerie silence in Dragon City. They rushed into the simple military tents around them, but found no one inside.

The Hu Lu were shocked. Could it be that all the enemies had withdrawn?

At this moment, the lasso in the city was suddenly pulled up, and the Hu Lu war horses were frightened and neighed.

The Hu Lu war horses and soldiers fell into the trenches one after another, landing on the sharp spikes and caltrops inside, and let out bursts of wailing.

"We've fallen into a trap, there's an ambush!" shouted a Hu Lu soldier.

"Go and report to King Youhe immediately."

Just as the Hu Lu soldiers were in shock and confusion, a rain of arrows suddenly shot out from the city.

Yan Peng led a thousand soldiers to ambush around the city and kept shooting arrows at the barbarians in the city.

The Hu Lu soldiers were shot by arrows and fell to the ground, screaming in pain. The horses ran around, trampling and colliding with each other.

The barbarians shot back with arrows, but they found that the figures lying in ambush around them were hiding behind cover, and in the darkness, they could not hit them at all.

"Don't be afraid! They are all infected with the plague and have little fighting power. Follow me and kill them!"

A Hu Lu soldier shouted and rode his horse to charge at the Yan soldiers who were shooting arrows.

Yan Peng brought a thousand elite soldiers and scattered them around Longcheng, dispersing the enemy's forces to the greatest extent possible, defeating them one by one and preventing them from fully utilizing their advantage in cavalry combat.

The rest of the soldiers who were infected with the plague and had little combat effectiveness gathered behind Dragon City.

"Kill! Kill!"

Seeing the barbarians coming to attack, Yan Peng also rushed out with the elite soldiers around him.

Yan Peng was surrounded by elite Yan troops, each of them as fierce as a wolf or a tiger, extremely ferocious.

When the Hu Lu saw how brave these soldiers were, they realized that not all the soldiers left behind were infected with the plague.

"We've fallen into a trap! These are the enemy's elite troops!"

"Kill out!"

The Hu Lu fled when they couldn't defeat them, and immediately turned their horses around and headed out of the city.

At this moment, Si Yan led a thousand elite troops of Daxuan to block the gate of Longcheng and shot arrows at the barbarians inside.

The Hu Lu drew their bows and shot arrows while charging out. Relying on their large numbers, they ignored casualties and rushed out at the risk of their lives.

"Kill!" Si Yan gave the order and rushed out like an arrow, killing the leader of the Hu Lu people.

"Kill! Kill!"

Yan Peng led his soldiers to catch up quickly, and more than 10,000 barbarians were sandwiched between 2,000 elite soldiers.

Si Yan's sword flew in his hand, and he killed one barbarian after another, specifically targeting the bravest and most charismatic ones among them.

After a while, the morale of the Hu Lu army plummeted.

In addition, it was dark, and they could not figure out the enemy's strength, so they thought that the main force of the enemy had not retreated at all.

Behind Si Yan, the soldiers of Daxuan followed Si Yan as if they were assisted by God, charging forward all the way and killing the Hu enemies.

"Fight to the death and get out!"

A Hu Lu general shouted loudly and led his soldiers to break out.

At this time, Boya came with another troop of soldiers and horses, roaring and rushing over, and dealt a head-on blow to the Hu Lu who were just trying to escape.

The Boya army shot arrows first, and the arrows rained down, and the barbarians screamed in pain.

When the Hu Lu saw another army coming, they were terrified.

Also, who is this general?

How come they had never seen him before? Not a general from the Yan army, nor a general from the Daxuan army.

"Quick! Ask for support from King Youhe."

Some people in the Hu Lu army discovered that although the enemy was brave, they were few in number.

If the King of Youhe led another army to support them, they would surely win a great victory.

In the Hu Lu army, a small group of people risked their lives to deliver a letter.

When King Youhe heard the news, he immediately brought people to support.

Thousands of horses were galloping on the grassland, and the shouts of killing were shaking the earth. King Youhe led the rear army and rode on Pegasus to kill towards Longcheng.

Yan Peng had just killed a Hu Lu general and turned around to see the Youhe King's army rushing towards him like a rushing river.

The King of Youhe came in person, and the Hu people were full of energy and their morale was greatly boosted.

They only have two or three thousand men and horses, so I'm afraid they will be unable to resist.

"General Feiying, what should we do now?" Yan Peng looked at Si Yan anxiously.

Si Yan calmly ordered: "Retreat to Longcheng and wait for the opportunity."

"Ah? Won't we be besieged in Longcheng by the barbarians?" A young general next to Yan Peng couldn't help but ask.

"No, the barbarians' arrows are too powerful given the speed of the horses. Let's go back to Dragon City and hide first."

The barbarians were charging forward, so there was no need for them to charge forward and fight head-on.

"Yes." Yan Peng immediately took the order and retreated to Longcheng with a group of soldiers.

The armies of Si Yan and Boya also retreated quickly and set up ambushes in Longcheng.

"Master Bo is so amazing, he killed three young barbarian generals in a row. It's really admirable!"

"What Mr. Bo? That's Marquis Bo Guang from our Daxuan." A Daxuan soldier said proudly.

"Yes, yes, if Marquis Boguang hadn't stopped that barbarian just now, I would have lost my life."

"Lord Si Yan is indeed a man of courage and strategy. It is truly a foresight to let Marquis Boguang lead the army."

Si Yan heard the soldiers talking and looked up, only to see Boya not far away covered in blood, his face also stained with the blood of the enemy.

The soldiers around him all looked at him with admiration.

When the Hu Lu saw the King of Youhe coming to support them, they fired thousands of arrows at the Yan and Daxuan armies, and their morale boosted greatly.

"King of Youhe! King of Youhe!" A warm roar rang out on the grassland.

The King of Youhe raised his arms and shouted, "Kill! Kill!"

The reinforcements of King Youhe were approaching the gate of Longcheng and were about to rush in when a Hu Lu general covered in blood rushed up.

"King Youhe! Be careful! The enemy has dug trenches and set traps in Longcheng, which will hinder the progress of the warhorses."

A Hu Lu soldier waved his sword and said, "What's there to fear? Let's charge in, pull out the enemies one by one, and kill them all!"

"Don't be reckless!" King Youhe raised his eyes and glanced at Longcheng. The enemy was cunning and Longcheng might really be cheating.

"Then what do we do now?"

The general who tried to stop the King of Youhe from entering the city said, "The enemy is small in number and will not dare to engage us head-on. We should wait until daybreak, when the situation becomes clearer, and then we can charge in."

King Youhe thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, let's do it."

The Hu Lu army lost several thousand soldiers because the front troops rashly entered Longcheng and were attacked from both inside and outside by the Yan and Daxuan armies.

King Youhe did not dare to advance rashly now. He dismounted and ordered his men to set up sentries everywhere.

At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the grassland.

In an instant, the sound of horses' hooves and roars shook the sky all around Dragon City.

"King Youhe! It's bad! Another reinforcement of the enemy is coming this way."
