It turns out they are General Yue's subordinates, which means we are not far from Shimen Gully. Since these barbarian soldiers have come to our doorstep, we will not be polite.
At Li Guang's command, hundreds of archers immediately rushed forward.
When the barbarian soldiers realized the situation was bad, they immediately turned around and tried to escape, but it was too late.
The soldiers unleashed a barrage of arrows, and the two hundred-plus barbarian soldiers were quickly shot dead.
The rescued soldiers were stunned; this team was incredibly powerful.
Although they didn't know what kind of team was in front of them, they were indeed saved and were very grateful.
At this moment, Li Guang urged his horse forward and said:
"My name is Li Guang, from Shuixian Village. I have come to support the border with compressed biscuits and new crossbows as ordered by the Minister of the Imperial Household. I am on my way to Shimen Gully to pay my respects to General Yue."
"You are Zhao Shaofu's troops, that's great! I'll take you to see General Yue, but our supplies have been stolen, and we won't be able to explain ourselves when we return."
"Where were the supplies stolen? We're going there now to reclaim them. You lead the way."
"About twenty miles ahead, the barbarian soldiers are escorting provisions to their camp."
Li Guang nodded and commanded the army to follow the soldiers in pursuit of the grain supplies.
Twenty miles was nothing to these soldiers; they spurred their horses and quickly caught up with the supplies.
If the barbarian soldiers were to seize more than two hundred cartloads of grain, it would be a real problem.
More than a thousand barbarian soldiers escorted the grain supplies and hurried forward. It is estimated that these barbarian soldiers were worried that the grain supplies would be stolen and wanted to get back to their barbarian camp as soon as possible.
Li Guang immediately ordered more than a thousand archers to give chase and shoot at anyone they saw.
When the barbarian soldiers saw so many people coming, they immediately abandoned their supplies and tried to escape, but it was too late.
The archers quickly surrounded the enemy, and bolts rained down on the barbarian soldiers.
These crossbows were so powerful that in the blink of an eye, all the barbarian soldiers were killed.
The soldiers were overjoyed to see the recovered food supplies. The food supplies in Shimen Gully were running low, and once the food supply was cut off, the soldiers would be unable to fight against the enemy troops.
Li Guang ordered them to lead the way, carrying the grain and fodder, to Shimen Gou.
Now the soldiers were completely relieved. With Li Guang's 5,000 troops protecting them, they no longer had to worry about their supplies being stolen.
Everyone rode at full speed, advancing rapidly towards Shimen Gully.
It wasn't until noon the next day that the main force arrived near Shimen Gully.
To the soldiers' surprise, the enemy troops had already surrounded Shimen Gully in just a few days.
A few days ago, the barbarian soldiers only set up camp three miles away from the city, and they could freely enter and leave the city.
But now, 100,000 enemy troops have completely surrounded Shimengou.
The barbarian soldiers knew that the city had little food and supplies, and they wanted to starve the soldiers in the city so that Shimengou would fall without a fight.
Li Guang took out his binoculars, stood on a high place, and looked around to understand the deployment of the barbarian troops.
The others didn't know what Li Guang was holding and were very curious, but they didn't dare to ask.
After reading it, Li Guang spoke:
"The enemy's 100,000 troops have not yet formed a true encirclement. Most of the enemy troops are still concentrated at the main gate. The west gate is the weakest point in terms of troop strength. I will give you 2,000 troops. You will break through the enemy's defenses at the west gate and enter the city."
I will lead three thousand soldiers to storm in through the main gate and lure the barbarian troops from the west gate over. You are responsible for transporting all the supplies into the city.
“That’s no problem. If a large number of enemy soldiers are led into the main gate, General Li will be in danger.”
"You don't need to worry about that. I have my own way of breaking through the enemy camp and entering the city."
After you return to the city, tell General Yue that if there are continuous bomb explosions in the enemy camp, the soldiers in the city should rush out to meet us.
At this moment, the barbarian camp will surely be thrown into chaos. We can seize the opportunity to storm into the camp, catching them off guard, and the barbarian soldiers will surely be defeated.
Upon hearing the word "bomb," the soldiers immediately became excited. The bombs played a crucial role in the complete annihilation of Shang Wei's army in Shuixian Village.
No wonder Li Guang dared to charge into the enemy lines through the main gate; it turns out they had bombs. Now we're going to have a good look at them.
With everything prepared, Li Guang watched as two thousand men escorted all the supplies away, and then began to arrange his troops.
At the main gate of the enemy camp, three thousand soldiers charged into the enemy ranks without warning.
Surprisingly, after this group of men charged into the enemy lines, they did not rush into the city. Instead, they formed a long line and slowly made their way forward through the enemy camp.
The soldiers were stunned by this sight. These people didn't seem to be there to fight, but rather to visit the military camp.
You should know that this is a military camp with an army of 100,000. You only have 3,000 men to break into the camp. Aren't you just coming to your deaths?
The barbarian soldiers in the camp originally intended to intercept and kill them, but seeing this group marching in neat formation at a leisurely pace, they became even more puzzled and stood aside to watch the spectacle, trying to figure out what was going on.
Soon, Xiao Zan, the commander of the barbarian camp, received the report and also found it unbelievable.
"Are you sure these three thousand men are here to storm the camp?" Xiao Zan asked.
"Reporting to the general, it is absolutely true. They initially stormed into the camp, but after entering, they formed several columns and moved forward at a leisurely pace."
At the front of the column stood a young general, arrogant and dismissive, acting as if we didn't exist and completely ignoring us.
"Is that so? I'll go and investigate."
After Xiao Zan finished speaking, he immediately led his soldiers out of the military tent to check on the situation.
As expected, a young general rode his horse at the head of the column, spear in hand, followed by soldiers lined up in neat rows. The column of three thousand soldiers was quite long.
Xiao Zan had led troops for many years and was very knowledgeable, but the troops in front of him were just lined up in a queue, not in any kind of formation.
Knowing that he had an army of 100,000, he could easily have slaughtered these 3,000 men with a single command.
Xiao Zan decided to test the waters and see how the team would react.
Soon, a barbarian general, carrying a large sword, rushed up to Li Guang.
Li Guang completely ignored him and continued walking forward.
Enraged, the barbarian general raised his broadsword and swung it down at Li Guang's head.
Li Guang flicked his silver spear with incredible speed, and the poor barbarian general didn't even have a chance to react before being knocked off his horse.
Xiao Zan was taken aback. That was one of his generals. How could you possibly fight him for several rounds before he died?
But this young general didn't even glance at him, and with a casual thrust of his spear, he knocked his own general off his horse.
Seeing this, Xiao Zan felt that this team was a bit strange. Without hesitation, he immediately ordered the team to be wiped out.
At his command, the enemy soldiers surged forward like a tidal wave.
