Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 190
The cavalry followed Li Ke on horseback and galloped southward.

This time they raided the enemy's camp, they killed heartily, so happy!

Li Ke had just called them to charge south again, and the cavalry immediately thought that Li Ke was going to repeat his old tricks and go to charge the guarding camp again.

There were also 15 troops in the garrison camp, which was equivalent to the number of the northern camp that they had just defeated.

The cavalrymen were all excited, waiting for another massacre to kill a few more Tubo thieves.

Li Ke was still leading them all the way, watching them getting farther and farther away from the Yak River.

At this time, the cavalry felt that something was wrong.

The city guard camp is on the bank of the river, but why did the King of Shu take us all the way to the southwest?
Going on like this, isn't it a detour?

As long as we go all the way to the south, can't we rush to the city guard camp?
"Your Highness!"

The cavalry leader hurriedly shouted to Li Ke at this time: "Soldiers are expensive, and we are going this way, but we have taken a long way!"

Li Ke didn't stop, but turned around and said, "That's right! I didn't go to the other side's camp at all!"

"Ah? Isn't Your Highness going to launch a surprise attack on the guarding camp?" the general asked.

Li Ke shook his head, still kept urging his horse: "We were fighting in full swing on the north side of the camp just now, and the city guard camp must have received the news...Since they know that we have crossed the river, they should pull out the camp and withdraw the troops! We are going to block the battle now. Stop them from retreating to the city, and prevent them from returning to Yupen City!"

Only then did the cavalry realize that the king of Shu had already counted the opponent's actions.

"Then... then what if the other party is not afraid of us and is waiting to fight us to the death?"

The general asked again.

At this time, they had all the way to the southwest, and they were almost at the bank of the Blackwater River.

Li Ke simply slowed down, and said with a smile: "It would be better if they don't run away. We just need to block the way back to the city, and then we can take over the army of defenders..."

……

When Mei Ji fled to the city defense camp in panic, Na Tinamu really stared at the Yak River.

"Eh? What's going on with the Shu army? They've been hiding on the other side of the river and just refused to come over. Are they really afraid of us?"

Tinamuzhen had a relaxed expression, not aware of it at all.

Meiji was still frightened in her heart. When she saw Li Ke attacking the camp, she immediately rode her horse and rushed back to the city guarding camp to report the news.

She is not the general of the army, and she has no force. She can neither command and sit down, nor go to battle to kill the enemy. The only thing she can do is to run back and report the news.

At this time, his own people hadn't fled, and Ti Namuzhen hadn't received the news yet.

Mei Ji quickly stepped forward and shouted: "General Mu Zhen, evacuate quickly! Li Ke is here!"

"what?"

When Timuzhen heard this, he quickly glanced at the Yak River again, then frowned and said, "Master Meiji, what are you talking about? The river is quiet, and there is no sign of the Shu army!"

Mei Ji hurriedly said: "He came from the north side, his army came suddenly, General Yetuo is leading the army to resist, I'm afraid it won't last long. Take the city guards back to the city."

"What? From the north? Did he cross the river from the upper reaches?"

Tinamuzhen said in shock.

Meiji was burning with anxiety: "Hurry up and retreat! The Shu army is coming very fiercely, if you don't retreat, it will be too late! Then Li Ke uses his troops like a god, and without the Yak River as a guarantee, you are not his opponent!"

Tinamuzhen thought for a moment, waved his hand quickly, summoned the lieutenant general, and informed him to leave the camp and return to the city.

Then, Ti Namuzhen moved closer to Mei Ji, cupped his hands and said, "Master Mei Ji, this...what's going on?"

Meiji sighed: "I reckon...that Li Ke must have thought of something to cross the Yak River from the upper reaches of the Yak River. His movements were extremely fast, and he led the cavalry directly to charge over. . . . he is coming this way now . . . "

"what?"

Ti Namuzhen stared and said: "Could it be that the general has more than [-] troops..."

Meiji shook her head: "That's not true...it's just...you don't know Li Ke. This man is the most skilled at using soldiers. You know he is still entangled with Yetuo. Maybe he left the main force to destroy Yetuo. He rushed over first with his cavalry. His cavalry is well-equipped and very powerful."

"Oh……"

Tinamuzhen let out a long hiss, as if he breathed a sigh of relief.

He pondered for a moment, and then said: "If he just rushed here with cavalry, we don't have to be afraid of him at all. How many cavalry can he have? Our 15 army, waiting for work at leisure, can't beat him?"

The more Timah said, the more certain he was, and it seemed that he planned to confront Li Ke head-on.

"no!"

Meiji retorted: "Li Ke's cavalry is very powerful. If we don't rely on geographical advantages, we will definitely not be able to defeat him! Besides...his main force is still behind, he just needs to hold us back, and when the main force is defeated, we will be defeated." Ministry, if you rush over to support, then you and I will die!"

"exactly!"

Ti Namuzhen nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, then quickly turned around, urging the army to pack up their bags and return to the city quickly.

The situation was urgent, and the city guards didn't bother to pack up the tents. They didn't even bring food, grass and luggage. They quickly assembled the army, and under the leadership of Tina Muzhen and Meiji, they quickly headed towards Yuben City.

Yuben City is located in the south of Heishui River, north of the Xiang River, and in the middle of the two parallel rivers below.

The city defense camp is located on the north bank of the Blackwater River and on the south bank of the Yak River. If you want to return to Yuben City, you only need to rush to the Blackwater River and cross the river.

This Blackwater River is not like the Yak River. It has natural dangerous areas to defend, and there is also a huge stone bridge on it.

This army only needs to cross the Black Water Bridge to reach Yupen City.

Although Yuben City does not have a high and solid wall like Dajianlu, it is a city anyway, and it is much more reliable than the city guard camp that lacks the natural danger of the Yak River!

Meiji and Tinamuzhen led the army and hurried on the road. After walking for nearly an hour, they finally arrived at the Heishui Bridge.

"Hush! Finally came back..."

Tina Muzhen looked at the Blackwater Bridge and hissed: "As long as we retreat behind the bridge and defend the bridge, I don't think the Shu army will be able to attack it for a while!"

Meiji nodded: "That's right! It's a pity that this stone bridge is strong, we can't destroy it for a while. Otherwise, we will definitely tear down this bridge and block Li Ke on the other side of the river!"

"It's a good bridge, it's such a pity to tear it down like this..."

Just then, a clear voice came.

This sound did not come from his defenders, but from the mound beside the bridge.

Ti Namuzhen was still watching the mound, looking for the figure of the speaker.

Beside him, Mei Ji trembled involuntarily.
