Chapter 104 Night Raid on Fuhan
Longxi, Baohan. Tens of thousands of Tuyuhun troops gathered here.

In recent years, Tuyuhun Khan Murong Fuyun has used military force several times against Longxi, Jincheng and other places controlled by Dayan, and reaped fruitful results.

This time, Murong Fuyun assembled tens of thousands of troops, ready to take advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains and make a big move while the people had no time to look west.

After all, the national strength of the Great Yan in the Central Plains has been declining in recent years, two consecutive eastern expeditions have failed, and last year Yang Xun also caused chaos.

At the beginning of this year, Emperor Murong Ying of the Great Yan was besieged in Guangwu by the Turks for more than a month. Not long after, another member of the royal family rebelled.

Murong Fuyun had been paying close attention to all these. He could not forget that in the fifth and seventh years of Tiansheng, Dayan launched two wars and almost forced Tuyuhun to forget its country.

But they still had some energy left, and they finally recovered. If they didn't do something at this opportunity, it would be unfair to the old feud between the Tuyuhun tribe and Dayan.

Although they all have the surname Murong.

Under the Khan's gaze, tens of thousands of troops, with flags covering the sky, spears and swords standing in rows, and morale high, seemed to be ready to sweep Longyou and swallow up Hexi.

Khan Murong Fuyun, who was standing on the high platform, looked to be about 40 years old, with a strong build. He was wearing a traditional luxurious leather robe, a carefully trimmed beard that was slightly curled, and a white felt hat, looking like a strong and powerful ruler in his prime.

Looking at the army in front of me, I couldn't help but feel heroic. It's time.

In the past, Emperor Wu of Yan, Murong Yi, was able to lead the Xianbei Murong to rise in Liaodong. Now, we, the Tuyuhun tribe, are also from the Murong clan. Why can't I do what you can?
"Send the order to reward the three armies and send troops to Longxi soon."

Murong Fuyun generously rewarded the army with fine wine and a thousand sheep. After the army assembled and reviewed during the day, they would naturally sing and dance, drink and eat meat at night, and the lights would be bright everywhere.

The Tuyuhun people were immersed in joy, and they were dreaming that they would go to Longxi County to plunder in a few days. If the war went well, they might be able to fight all the way to Chang'an.

Everything seemed to be going well. After nightfall, the bonfires everywhere were extinguished and people were immersed in sweet dreams.

And at this moment, the most dangerous moment for them has quietly arrived.

A young captain named Li from Longxi County led five hundred Yan soldiers and sneaked out of the camp quietly.

Li Erlang was at the camp gate, calling out the names of the people one by one, lighting arrows soaked in oil and shooting them out, setting more than a dozen tents on fire in succession.

As the flames rose again, this time it was not the bonfire that was ignited, but their tents. Five hundred Yan soldiers rushed into the Tuyuhun camp under the light of the fire, killed the sleeping enemies, and then set fires everywhere to create chaos, shouting "The Great Yan Army is here."

Afterwards, Li Erlang led Dou Cong, Liu Zongxun, Zhang Jin and other brave generals into the camp, and used the swords and knives commonly used by the Tuyuhun people to indiscriminately kill the Tuyuhun people who were forced out by the smoke and fire but were unprepared and still confused.

The Tuyuhun people were caught off guard and had no idea what was happening. In the middle of the night, they had no idea of ​​the exact number of Yan troops. They fled in all directions, trampling on each other. Some even killed each other in their attempt to escape.

Tens of thousands of troops were awakened and thrown into chaos.

Murong Fuyun in Fuhan City was shocked and thought that the Yan army had really arrived. He was about to lead his personal guards to escape, but was stopped by his son Murong Shun.

"The Emperor of Great Yan is currently suppressing the rebellion of the royal family in the Central Plains, so why would he send a large army here? This must be a surprise attack by a small group of Yan troops. If my father leaves now, there will be no one to take charge of the overall situation here, and these tens of thousands of troops will be leaderless and will flee in disarray."

Although Murong Fuyun has repeatedly invaded the Longyou area in the past two years, this was based on the premise that Dayan had no time to look west.

If the Yan army sent its main force to attack, he would definitely avoid their attack.

But Murong Shun's words reminded him that the Yan army in Longyou would definitely not risk launching a large-scale battle, because the war to quell the rebellion in the Central Plains would not end so quickly, so it could only be a small group of Yan army.

But even if a small group of Yan troops attacked at night, the impact would be enough to prevent Murong Fuyun from opening the city gates and going out to clean up the mess.

Because once the city gate is opened now, the rebel army will definitely rush in regardless of everything. If the Yan army then drives them away from behind, they will lose everything.

The chaos continued until dawn.

After daybreak, Murong Fuyun took his eldest son Murong Shun out of the city to appease the army. The heroic spirit he had during the military parade yesterday was no longer on his face. He was in tears as he looked at the camp filled with wounded soldiers howling and howling, and Li Erlang, with more than 400 Yan soldiers, had already set out on his way back to Longxi.

After bidding farewell to his father Li Yuan and several brothers, Li Er rushed to Longxi to take up his post with dozens of warriors.

Among these dozens of people were the knights-errant he had made friends with over the past few years, old friends of the Li family who had come to seek refuge with him, and fugitives he had taken in.

Although the composition is complex, each of them is a brave and powerful hero.

After arriving in Longxi, as this place was the ancestral home of the Longxi Li family, Li Er naturally felt like a fish in water. Although he was only a captain, he commanded 600 cavalry, almost catching up with an ordinary captain, and he was directly under the Longxi prefect Yao Hong.

Yao Hong only thought that Li Er was a scion of a noble family who came here to gild his reputation, but this was the base camp of the Longxi Li family. In other words, Li Er's words in Longxi would definitely be more effective than those of him as the prefect.

Not only the Li family's ancestral homeland Chengji, but also the big families in Didao, Xiangwu, Lintao, and Guzang all follow the lead of the Li family.

Although Li Er was not born in Longxi, he was a legitimate and prominent descendant of the family.

His father, Duke Tang Li Yuan, was a representative figure of the Li family together with General Li Shenfu.

So Yao Hong knew that he couldn't control Li Er, so he just let him do whatever he wanted.

When Li Er came to Longxi, in addition to wanting to echo his father from afar, he also wanted to achieve great things.

Especially after hearing that his brother Li Yuanhui led a hundred cavalrymen to Jinyang, he felt that time was running out, and relying on his connections and influence in Longxi, he went around to gather information.

Half a month ago, we learned that Tuyuhun was gathering its forces in the Fuhan area again, but the direction of the invasion was still unclear. It could be Longxi or the Jincheng area.

The daring Li Er immediately selected 500 soldiers and rushed straight to Fuhan. They hid during the day and traveled at night, and arrived outside the city of Fuhan quietly.

And after Fuyun Khan reviewed the army, he decided to launch a night attack.

Facts have also proved that the god of victory favors the brave. Five hundred Yan soldiers attacked the Tuyuhun camp at night, killing hundreds of people directly. In addition to those who fought against each other and trampled on each other, thousands of people were killed or injured.

After this battle, the Tuyuhun people had to stay quiet for at least a few years and were unable to invade Longyou.

"This battle was a joy to fight. Hahahaha, after this battle, who in the world doesn't know your name, Li Erlang?"

On the way back, Liu Zongxun spoke proudly while riding on a tall horse.

Liu Zongxun was from Jingzhao. His father, Liu Rang, was the governor of Nanyang. He was chivalrous and unrestrained. He liked to make friends with chivalrous people. He was poor because he did not work. Later, he was appointed as the cavalry commander with his father's influence and followed Murong Ying to conquer Liaodong. When he arrived at Fenyin County, Liu Zongxun thought that he should be executed for being late, so he and his subordinates slaughtered cattle and were arrested and imprisoned. He was redeemed a year later.

Because he had an old relationship with the Li family, he came to Li Yuan. He and Li Er rode together and shared the same food and clothing.

This time when I came to Longxi, I naturally felt that I had a place to use my talents, and I was extremely happy.

Li Er chuckled when he heard this and said, "Brother Liu, you are too kind. Although I have made some achievements, I am still not as good as Si Lang as his elder brother."

Liu Zongxun laughed out loud when he heard this: "Si Lang must be ashamed when Er Lang said that, but this kid's luck is really good."

Dou Cong, Li Er's cousin who was born in the Fufeng Dou clan, also laughed and said, "Don't tell me, don't tell me, Si Lang's luck is really outrageous."

Liu Zongxun and Dou Cong were both old friends and relatives of the Li family, so they naturally knew Li Si's abilities. Whether in riding and shooting or military strategy, he was indeed far inferior to Li Er.

But now he is already a Tiger Guard General, awarded the title of Silver and Green Guanglu Doctor, and was also chosen as the Imperial Concubine's Captain. If this isn't good luck, what is?
Of course, they don’t know yet that Li Si has become General Pingnan.
