Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 387: Cavalry Charge, Yan Xiaoyi Shot Li Chengru to Death with One Arrow

Li Chengru's eyes dimmed when he saw that Liu Hong did not become complacent, but instead his army continued to maintain a defensive formation.

The Emperor Gao is the Emperor Gao after all. When he had no money and power, he took risks. Now that he owns the whole world, he takes stability.

Liu Hong smiled, personally held an inhuman crossbow, and shot at the city gate. The arrow, as thick as his forearm, directly pierced a human-sized hole in the city gate.

"Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty..."

The Han army camp cheered wildly and morale soared.

So what if they are a mixture of Jin, Yan, Dongyi City, and Northern Qi soldiers?
This is Emperor Gao leading the army in person!

Emperor Gao was just like General Han Xin, and they were both on par with each other and had never been defeated in the entire world.

Li Chengru's pupils constricted, he knew that Liu Hong was reminding him.

If they insist on defending the city, Liu Hong doesn't mind using the power of a grandmaster.

"Your Highness, all the soldiers have eaten and drunk enough."

His generals came to report, their eyes looking somewhat worried.

Not to mention those weird things in the Han Dynasty, just talking about Liu Hong, they are destined to be invincible.

Li Chengru took a deep breath and looked at the scorching sun in the sky with a dazed look in his eyes.

"The sun is so beautiful! It's a pity that I can never see it again."

"All troops set off!"

Soon, Li Chengru suppressed his sentimentality and led 20,000 cavalrymen to leave Suzhou City in a mighty force.

Uesugi Tora saw that the cavalry under Li Chengru were basically configured with one man and one horse, and many of the horses' hooves had been retracted. He smiled disdainfully.

Since Emperor Gao became semi-independent, Qianlong Bay no longer supplies 5,000 war horses to Qing Kingdom every year.

The war horses under Li Chengru's command have been fighting in many battles for so long that they are basically injured and old.

Uesugi Tora felt that he did not need to rely on the central army. He only needed the cavalry under his command. The configuration of one man and two horses was enough to crush Li Chengru.

Li Chengru pointed his spear at Uesugi Tiger with a slightly provocative look in his eyes.

"Charge! Break through this so-called strongest shield on the continent."

There was a flash of anger in Uesugi Tora's eyes. When he was fighting with the Hu people, Li Chengru was still an unknown pawn.

Coupled with the series of failures suffered by Qing Kingdom, Li Chengru actually dared to provoke him.

However, Uesugi Tora did not get carried away and confronted Li Chengru's cavalry.

These 10,000 cavalrymen are the capital of the Jin State in Taiyuan Route, trained by Uesugi Hu with great effort. If they have any objections to the policies of Emperor Gao in the future, this is the foundation of their existence.

Therefore, Uesugi Tiger turned his horse around and spoke in a cold voice.

"Just stabilize the formation, harass the flanks, and prevent Li Chengru from attacking the center."

Behind him, generals at all levels led their troops, and tens of thousands of cavalrymen trotted slowly, holding bows and crossbows, constantly harassing Li Chengru who was charging towards them.

"Uesugi Tiger is going to lose!"

Liu Hong sighed.

Fatty Lu didn't understand and scratched his head while looking at Liu Hong.

He felt that there was no loophole in Uesugi Tora's behavior, and he would do the same according to Fatty Lu's arrangement.

"You just saw that the cavalry led by Li Chengru are weak and miserable. They all have the will to die, so they will do their best to charge into the battle."

"In order to preserve his strength, Uesugi Tora did not use the cavalry's impact, but instead harassed the flanks."

"Not only is the formation scattered, but the horses are also unable to run. How can they fight Li Chengru? Their cavalry don't have the shield formation defense of the infantry."

Liu Hong explained patiently.

He had high hopes for Fatty Lu and did not want him to just eat and wait for death, spending all day with his beautiful wife and smiling like a fool.

Xiao Zhan was shocked when he heard Liu Hong's words.

Emperor Gao rose to prominence in the military, and now it seems that Liu Hong's military command ability is no weaker than those of these generals who have been leading the army for many years.

As expected, Li Chengru easily tore through Uesugi Tora's defense line and rushed towards Uesugi Tora's flag.

Uesugi Tora woke up as if from a dream and couldn't help but slap himself in the face, feeling extremely regretful.

Why was he so blinded by greed that he wanted to reduce his losses? If he hedged normally, his defense line wouldn't be as thin as a piece of paper.

However, Uesugi Tora still did not dare to retreat, because Emperor Gao was watching him in the center of the army!
He and Yan Xiaoyi were both serving their sentences and making amends for their crimes. If they were to desert, they would probably be sent directly to the slaughterhouse.

Uesugi Tora gritted his teeth and roared like a wild beast. He led the 500 heavily armored cavalrymen around him and firmly guarded the general's flag behind him.

Li Chengru didn't care, pointed the tip of his gun directly at Uesugi Tiger's flag, and laughed heartily.

"Brothers! Who is willing to follow me to kill the generals and seize the flag?"

"I am willing to die for your Highness!"

Li Chengru's response was still full of affirmation.

Shang Shanhu laughed in anger. How long has it been since Li Chengru broke through the ninth rank? He is a famous ninth rank master, and he has 500 heavily armored cavalry guards beside him.

"Kill Li Chengru for me, and I will reward you with ten thousand taels of silver. I will personally advise the Emperor Gao to make you marquises."

Thousands of scattered cavalrymen, encouraged by the heavy bounty, continued to block Li Chengru's attack direction.

It was a pity that Li Chengru's eyes were bright and he gently patted the smart warhorse under his command and leaped away.

He actually flew more than ten meters away and came to a distance of a hundred steps from Uesugi Tiger.

The trusted general behind him was panting, and he seemed to be unable to hold the spear in his hand, so he simply threw it away, holding the sword in one hand and the whip in the other.

Drive Uesugi Tiger's defeated soldiers towards the general's flag.

"General, save us..."

The cries of countless cavalrymen, accompanied by their figures, swept towards Uesugi Tiger like a tide.

Uesugi Tora's face turned pale and he wanted to order the heavy cavalry to kill these fleeing soldiers.

However, the familiar name of the general prevented Uesugi Tora from bringing himself to do anything, as these were his old assets that he had brought from Langya County in Northern Qi to Taiyuan Road.

Yan Xiaoyi looked at Uesugi Tiger who remained motionless and snorted coldly.

"A woman's kindness!"

"Fire arrows!"

The arrows from his archers rained down like flowers from the sky, killing all the cavalry without distinguishing between friend and foe.

The heavy crossbows and city defense crossbows made a heavy low humming sound, and a random arrow could take the lives of seven or eight cavalrymen.

Uesugi Tiger's cavalry was not completely useless. At least it trapped Li Chengru's cavalry and prevented them from fully utilizing their mobility.

"Yan Xiaoyi!"

Uesugi Tora's eyes were bloodshot and he almost cried.

In response to Uesugi Tora, there was still a continuous rain of arrows, which was almost endless and killed all the cavalry indiscriminately.

It was seen that there were almost no cavalry around Li Chengru.

Yan Xiaoyi's eyes showed a hint of joy.

He didn't care about Uesugi Tora's resentment.

As long as Emperor Gao trusts him and the eldest princess is safe, he can be the sharpest spear.

Li Chengru did not expect that there would be such a ruthless man in Liu Hong's army. He was not careful for a moment, his arm hurt and he fell off his horse.

"Your Highness, be careful."

The personal guards quickly helped Li Chengru up. Seeing the rain of arrows coming from the sky, they gritted their teeth and used their flesh and blood to block Li Chengru.

The muffled groaning sound of arrows piercing the flesh continued to sound, and in less than a minute, the bodyguard became a sieve.

Before the guard died, he still roared with all his strength.

"Protect His Highness!"

Upon hearing this, countless cavalrymen stopped their urge to retreat and saw Li Chengru falling off his horse.

Their eyes showed determination.

"Your Highness, we will never regret following you in this life."

Countless cavalrymen were fearless and built a wall of flesh and blood in front of Li Chengru.

Li Chengru's voice was hoarse, and he wanted these soldiers not to make unnecessary sacrifices.

I just touched my neck and it was extremely painful, as if something had pierced through it.

Yan Xiaoyi had a blank expression on his face and put down the longbow in his hand. (End of this chapter)
