Book of Disaster

"Let's go over and have a look."

Bai Qi, Xu Xuansu and others looked at each other, then quickly followed the crowd towards the source of the commotion.

After just a few leaps, Bai Qi and others quickly climbed to the top of the high city wall of Hanyang City.

Standing on a high place and looking around, I saw that outside the originally empty city, there was a Yuan army of at least 60,000 people, a mixture of infantry and cavalry, coming towards the city from outside the city with some fatigue.

These people were well-equipped, with brand-new standard armor and the sharpest weapons, but they had no spirit or morale at all. Moreover, their food and supplies seemed to have been badly damaged, as if they had been robbed.

"What's going on?"

Bai Qi’s eyelids twitched.

Almost all those who came to Hanyang City during this period were reservists. There were very few regular troops like this one with 60,000 to 70,000 people, and the morale of this army... was really worrying.

Obviously the loss in numbers was not that great, but it looked like a defeat.

"Hey! This is already the third wave!"

At this moment, not far away, below the city gate, an old soldier who was also standing on the city wall and watching the excitement with Bai Qi had a mocking look on his face, which attracted Bai Qi's attention.

"Excuse me... do you know what's going on?"

Bai Qi spoke immediately.

"Tsk, why should I..."

The old soldier had an impatient look on his face, waving his hands as if he didn't want to pay attention to anyone. However, the next moment, when he saw that Bai Qi and his group were almost all wearing armor above the rank of captain, his expression changed and he quickly lowered his head.

"I dare not! You are too polite, sir!"

"This is the army that was sent out three days ago. According to the itinerary, they should have arrived at the frontline battlefield by now. However, because the troops sent by Dayu kept harassing them, they had to set up camp on the spot. Their speed was too slow, so for safety reasons, they finally returned to Hanyang City."

The old soldier made no effort to conceal his contempt in his words.

Bai Qi didn't care, but when he heard him say that, he couldn't help but frowned.

“You said this is already the third wave?”

Bai Qi said in a deep voice.

"Sir, it is true that there have been three waves. We have tried several times, but due to various reasons, we finally returned home. In fact, the army's losses were not great, but each time we were played around by those Dayu people. We were either harassed by them, or lost food and supplies, or were ambushed by them. Anyway, there has been no progress during this period... In fact, everyone below knows that there have been several waves of expedited letters from the front line, but there is nothing we can do."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi, Xu Xuansu, Zhang Chi, and Zhou Yixian couldn't help but have a trace of deep gloom across their brows.

Several people just came out of the Frost Palace today and had just accepted Han Wuji's commission, but no one expected that things had become so serious.

"It seems that it is true that the Cambrian wants to deal with us, but it is also true that the front line is extremely urgent."

Xu Xuansu lowered his voice and spoke into Bai Qi's ear.

"Ah."

Bai Qi nodded.

The army quickly entered the city and the gates were closed.

"go!"

Bai Qi didn't look at it any further and quickly led everyone away.

The view is wide during the day and Hanyang City is well defended. The cavalry from Dayu Kingdom only harassed the troops far away from the city and did not approach rashly. Therefore, Hanyang City is relatively safe and peaceful.

Soon, night fell again, and without any surprise, at the time when everyone was most sleepy, there were shouts and screams and the sound of gongs and drums.

This time, having learned from previous lessons, Bai Qi and others appeared under the city wall again, but having learned from previous lessons, they did not climb onto the top of the wall again.

Just like before, it continued all night long until dawn.

The same thing happened on the second day, and the day after.

Bai Qi and others followed the procedures and did their own thing.

A few days later, Bai Qi, Xu Xuansu, Zhang Chi, Zhou Yixian gathered together in the tent, and Zhou Ning also joined them.

"There are about 600 to 700 Daewoo cavalrymen outside the city, divided into two groups. Sometimes they gather together, and sometimes they take turns. It is obvious that there are two leaders."

Xu Xuansu sat cross-legged on the ground and spoke first.

"These Dayu cavalry have clear division of labor, tacit cooperation, and are well-trained. Bai Qi, just as you said, their purpose is to tire out the enemy. The actual number of casualties is not important. In fact, it is impossible for them to pose a substantial threat to the army of Hanyang City with just a few hundred people."

"Two leaders..."

Bai Qi seemed to be thinking about something.

"Fatty, what about you?"

Bai Qi quickly looked at Zhou Yixian.

"During the day, I wandered around the city and chatted with the veterans. According to them, the enemy was very cunning and did not engage in direct combat. And judging from the number of their enemies, that old thief Han Wuji was not lying. There should be about 5,000 people. However, they also lost some people during the harassment. Sometimes the number was more, sometimes less, but overall it should be more than 4,000. This data should be reliable."

Zhouyi Taoism.

They had just arrived and were not familiar with other military camps. Zhang Chi and Xu Xuansu were not suitable for this job. Only Zhou Yixian was outgoing and could chat with anyone.

Moreover, these conclusions were not drawn by him, but by the veterans in the city who had fought against Daewoo Cavalry. The data should still be credible.

"Zhou Ning, what about you?"

Bai Qi asked.

"During this period, I have been training the army day and night, using veterans to lead new soldiers. We are small in number, and if we really fight, the pressure will be great, but we have achieved some results, and we should be able to fight them. In addition... General Han said before that he would fully support us. I hope what he said is true. If we want to deal with the Daewoo cavalry outside the city, we must have his help no matter what."

During this period, Zhou Ning was responsible for training the three thousand troops brought from the southwest training base on behalf of Bai Qi.

According to the characteristics of the enemy's harassment, Zhou Ning has rearranged the rest and training time for the 3,000 soldiers.

"I will negotiate with General Han on this matter."

He was not afraid that Han Wuji would not agree. Judging from the other party's current behavior, he was completely smiling but with a dagger hidden in his heart. If he really made a request, Han Wuji would probably agree.

After all, if he really didn't give it, three thousand people against five thousand troops would be a clear sign of death. Bai Qi would quit and Han Wuji would have no way to do anything about him.

Given Han Wuji's sinister character, he probably wouldn't do so in this regard.

"Have you found out the identity of the Dayu cavalry outside the city? We in the Yuan Dynasty also have many elite troops. It is abnormal that 100,000 people cannot defeat 5,000 troops."

Bai Qi said.

If the combat effectiveness of the Yuan Dynasty's military forces is normal, then it only means one thing: the Dayu cavalry outside the city is abnormal.

Their origins are not simple.
