Sky Smoke City's guard Wang Liankun opened the city gate to welcome them. However, it was a bit disappointing to see that they had only a few thousand cavalry.
General Wang said: "Report to Lord Nine! The enemy army is marching towards our Tianyan City with all its strength, and it is only a few hundred kilometers away from our Tianyan City. We will only have 10,000 soldiers defending the city, plus you several thousand elite cavalry It is less than 20,000. But the Vietnamese army has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and they are especially good at riding and shooting. They are very powerful in attacking cities by climbing walls and ladders. Our Dayan has lost three cities in a row."
Marshal Linghu said: "General Wang, can you immediately let the people in the city sing and dance to celebrate our army's entry into the city? In addition, send people to search for all the gongs and drums in the city, and beat the gongs and drums on the city walls to make the sound It can spread hundreds of miles away.”
Wang Liankun was shocked when he heard this, but Master Jiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just do what Young Marshal Linghu said! Let people spread the news that all the 200,000 soldiers and horses of our army have entered the city!" go out!"
"Yes, follow the order of Lord Jiu!" Wang Liankun immediately executed it, mobilizing the 10,000 soldiers in the city to act overnight, spreading the good news that the army had entered the city first.
Because all the gongs and drums in the whole city were beaten up, the whole city was full of songs and dances, and the sound spread from Fangyuan hundreds of miles away.
When Baili Zate and the Yue soldiers led by the third prince Duanmu Canglan rushed from Gusha City to several hundred miles away from Tianyan City, they suddenly heard a burst of gongs and drums from the sky. Before Zhu Shuai's soldiers and horses arrived, they first attacked Tianyan City, but now they reined in their horses and stopped.
General Bailizat and the third prince were demoralized when they heard the sound of the drum, and the third prince had not fully recovered from the arrow wound. The third prince can control the black eagle, but the black eagle is the overlord in the sky, how can he get it easily
Except for the third prince, no one in the Vietnamese army can control the black eagle.
Baili Zate said: "I didn't expect Master Zhu to travel so fast! We are still a step behind. So, we can only camp here, and we can only attack the city after a full day of rest and morale."
The third prince said: "According to the plan, if they enter the city tonight, the journey will be too fast, and the soldiers will be very exhausted. We might as well take this opportunity to attack the city."
Before he finished speaking, someone reported that some soldiers fell down and couldn't walk because they were too hurried, and had to rest.
Baili Zate said: "They are tired, so are we! We have already attacked three cities in a row. Now we still want to attack Tianyan City, which has 200,000 soldiers from Jiuye. They are just defending the city. How should we say, the attackers What's more, after a rest, the morale is strong before we can attack the city with one go."
The third prince had nothing to say, because what General Baili said made sense. However, if they really go to attack the city at this moment, or intercept the troops behind Zhu Youchen, the situation will be completely different.
Because the soldiers and horses of General Baili did not dare to act rashly, they set up camp a few hundred miles outside the city.
The next day they were still resting their morale and did not launch an attack on the city, thinking that Zhu Jiuye's soldiers and horses had all entered Tianyan City and did not send troops for a long time.
So, at night, King You's soldiers and horses quietly entered Tianyan City.
