Li Gande was not old, and he was only fifty-six years old at this time. When he ascended the throne, he forced the then empress dowager to be buried with him, and then let his biological mother be the empress dowager. Li Gande never gave birth to children until he woke up two years ago. He could not give birth to a son anymore, so he adopted his brother Li Yanghuan, son of the Marquis Chongxian, as the crown prince.

Li Gande was fifty-six years old and the prince was three years old. If the emperor was someone else, officials in the court would have to force the emperor to sign an older royal family as the prince. Otherwise, something might happen to Li Gande at any time. How can a three-year-old prince maintain national stability? But facing the strong Li Gande, all the officials did not dare to say anything.

When the generals saw Li Gande's murderous eyes, they were so scared that they kept silent.

Ruan Gongping, who was ordered to lock down the city, mustered up the courage to ask, "Does the troops from the thirty-six caves come in?"

Li Gande shook his head and said, "The soldiers and horses in the Thirty-six Caves will not fight to the death. If the war is not good, they will definitely escape. Letting them enter the city will only damage the morale of our army and may also have internal conflicts. Block the city gate and notify Thirty The soldiers and horses of the six caves said that we would defend the city and asked them to stick to the camp."

Ruan Gongping said suspiciously: "If you notify them, they may not be able to hold on to the death, right?"

Li Gande said: "If they escape, Daliang will definitely not let them go. If they can lead Daliang's troops to the left and right rivers, they can also delay time for us. Okay, go, you must block them before dawn. All the city gates.”

"yes"

Ruan Gongping took the order and left.

Li Gande discussed the matter of defending the enemy with other generals, and finally decided to use 5,000 people to defend each wall, and 10,000 people in the city were used as reserve teams, ready to block possible gaps at any time. The 70,000 troops in the city were divided into two groups of defense day and night .

When Ruan Gongping reported that all the city gates had been blocked, Li Gande asked the generals to go to the army to convey his will.

When the 36-Dong Cave Lord heard that the troops of the Li Dynasty of Yue blocked the city gates and were about to defend Yongzhou to the death, he started to make a noise. Some people advocated returning to each of them, while others advocated using coalition forces to resist Daliang's troops to avoid being defeated by Daliang.

Before everyone could make a comeback, they heard a sound like thunder coming from far away.

A cave lord panicked: "What sound?"

"It seems to be a cavalry or a large cavalry."

"Go and have a look."

"Look at it."

The lord of the Thirty-six Caves walked to the front of the camp and saw dust rising in the distance and endless horses charging forward.

There are few war horses in Guangxi, and most of them are dwarf horses from Dali, while the war horses from Huarong tribe all come from the Liao Kingdom, which are much taller than the Dali horses.

Many barbarians who squeezed to the front of the camp to check were frightened by the momentum of the horse army, so scared that they turned around and fled backwards.

The thirty-six cave owners were all look unpopular. The soldiers and horses in their cave were all infantry and were used to fighting among the forests. The forest outside Yongzhou City had long been cut down. Although it was not an endless plain, the low mountains were Qiu couldn't stop the cavalry.

The Yue people on Yongzhou City were also as if they were facing a great enemy, and they all set their bows and arrows to shoot and kill the cavalry near the city wall.

After dawn, Daliang soldiers buried their pots and made rice, and a spaceship flew directly to the sky. With the help of the telescope, the situation of Guirenpu in Yongzhou was in control.

There were no ambush along the way, so Chao Yong asked Hua Rong to lead the cavalry to Yongzhou to prevent the Yue people and the barbarians from 36 Dongs from escaping.

The outside of Yongzhou City, which Hua Rong led his troops to, stopped two miles outside Yongzhou City.

The deputy general pointed to the barbarian camp not far from the west of Yongzhou City and said, "The barbarian camp is simple and cannot stop our cavalry. We can completely defeat the barbarians before the arrival of the army."

The generals around Hua Rong also nodded.

The barbarian camp did not camp like the Han people, burying deer antlers, digging trenches, and setting up camp walls. They just used branches to circle the camp, which was more like an orchard to block children from stealing fruits, rather than preventing soldiers from attacking the camp. The tents in the camp were not neatly arranged, but many were tents in a mess, and many were branches, wrapped in a layer of cloth to make the camp tent, with uneven branches exposed outside.
