"Call Tie Lao Ba for me!"
Fang Er said to Guan Chang.
Soon, Tie Lao Ba arrived from the west city wall.
"General."
"Do you dare to accompany me out of the city for some fun?"
Fang Er smiled and looked at Tie Lao Ba.
"Heh heh, what's there to be afraid of? With you here, I'll go anywhere!"
Tie Lao Ba patted the plate armor on his chest, making a clang.
"Good. Go and call Yang Zhihua and the other four. Bring the cannons, and each of you take two more cannonballs. We'll go give Yuan Gaisuwen a surprise!"
Fang Er pointed towards Goguryeo, a hint of mockery in his tone.
An hour later.
Tie Lao Ba and four others gathered at the east gate of Shenyang City, their faces filled with excitement.
Fang Er arrived with the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun.
The city gate was carefully opened by Zhu Zi.
"Let's go! Time to deliver gifts!"
Fang Er spurred his horse and charged out of the city gate first.
The Yan Yun Cavalry followed closely.
Tie Lao Ba and the others also hurried to keep up.
Outside the city.
The Yan Yun Cavalry surrounded Fang Er and Tie Lao Ba in the middle.
The twenty-four riders charged towards the Goguryeo camp.
The distance of two li was covered quickly by the warhorses.
When they were about three to four hundred paces away from the Goguryeo camp.
Fang Er reined in his warhorse and looked at Tie Lao Ba.
"Set up the cannons and blast them!"
"Heh heh, General, just you watch!"
Tie Lao Ba couldn't contain his excitement.
"This is too damn exciting!"
The five quickly set up the mortars and adjusted their muzzles.
At this moment, the Goguryeo forces also discovered them.
Seeing the muzzles already set up, the Goguryeo soldiers guarding outside the camp looked on in horror!
They scrambled and ran towards Yuan Gaisuwen's main tent.
"Great General! Great General!"
The soldier started shouting before even entering the tent.
Yuan Gaisuwen, who was just taking a bite of jerky, heard the commotion outside.
"Get in!"
"Great General! Tang troops have come out of the city! They are right outside the main camp and have set up cannons!"
The soldier entered and knelt before Yuan Gaisuwen.
"How many men? How many cannons?"
Yuan Gaisuwen pressed for details.
Just then.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Explosions echoed from outside the main tent.
"Get out of the way!"
Yuan Gaisuwen kicked the soldier aside and strode out of the tent.
He saw that several places within the camp had already caught fire.
He quickly jumped onto the warhorse tied outside the tent.
And rode directly out of the camp.
He needed to find out how many Tang troops had come! And how many cannons!
Wei San and Da Shi Dong, who also came out of the tent with him, quickly followed.
Upon reaching outside the camp, they could vaguely see more than a dozen people on horseback in the distance.
And a few more were mounting their horses.
"They're leaving after firing a few shots? How shameless!"
"But, since it's just to harass us, there's no need to take it too seriously."
"Give the order to strengthen the guards!"
After giving instructions to Wei San, Yuan Gaisuwen turned his warhorse and headed back to his tent.
Meanwhile, Fang Er watched as Tie Lao Ba and his men packed up the mortars. They waited for a while in the same spot, but no one from Goguryeo came to investigate.
"Heh heh."
"Are they ignoring me?"
"Lv Shuang, have someone bring twenty more cannonballs."
When Zhu Zi arrived with the cannonballs from Shenyang City, Fang Er said to the others.
"Let's move forward a bit more!"
They advanced another hundred paces.
Tie Lao Ba and his men began their bombardment again!
One of the cannonballs, by chance, landed outside Yuan Gaisuwen's tent.
A shrapnel pierced the tent and flew past Yuan Gaisuwen's ear.
It even left a wound on his ear.
"Bang!"
Yuan Gaisuwen was enraged!
He smashed the wine cup in his hand, shattering it into pieces.
"Tang troops! You're bullying us too much!"
"Guards!"
Wei San rushed in from outside.
He had just returned to his own tent when he heard the explosions.
He quickly came over and saw the bodies of two soldiers killed by the blast outside the tent.
Hearing Yuan Gaisuwen's call, he rushed in.
"Go! Take two thousand cavalrymen! And bring back the person who was secretly firing those cannons!"
"Yes, Great General!"
Wei San bowed and exited the tent.
He quickly selected two thousand soldiers and charged out of the main camp.
Hearing the chaotic sounds of horses from the Goguryeo side.
Fang Er waved his hand.
"Return to the city!"
By the time Wei San and his men found the area, Fang Er and his men were already at the city gate!
Wei San could only turn back with his men.
An hour later.
Fang Er launched another harassment!
After firing a few cannonballs, he made Wei San miss their tracks once again.
The sounds of horses from inside and outside the Goguryeo camp rang out intermittently!
Yuan Gaisuwen was extremely annoyed.
He severely reprimanded Wei San and ordered him to increase the patrol personnel outside the camp.
But it was still useless.
Fang Er was having a great time.
"Heh heh, I'm here again!"
"Haha, and I'm leaving again!"
This continuous back-and-forth harassment lasted for half the night!
Midnight.
Fang Er called the Yan Yun Cavalry to his side.
"Guan Chang, Zhang De, Zhao Long, Huang Sheng!"
"And you all!"
"Do you dare to play a big game?"
"What are the master's plans?"
Lv Song asked.
"Dare to raid the enemy camp at night?"
Fang Er pointed at the Goguryeo camp in the distance.
After repeated harassment, the Goguryeo forces had become less vigilant towards the sound of horses.
This was his opportunity!
Otherwise, if they waited until tomorrow.
And the Goguryeo side brought out a large number of siege weapons, with the current ammunition supply of the Sky Fire Army alone, it would be a dream to defend Shenyang City.
