At this time, the drums outside the city resounded in the sky, it was early morning, and the enemy army in Luoyang must have rushed to attack overnight, but they were caught off guard. And they did not attack from the pass, but chose to fight to the death head-on, obviously determined to win.

But Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng didn't know that Zhou Dewei, the enemy general who came to attack, was already difficult to ride a tiger at this time. Knowing the truth that if you turn back, you will die, and only by fighting the last soldier here can you be freed. Ran Qi just stood like this, ignoring the sudden change.

Waiting for Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng to set it up left and right, then they came back to their senses and ran forward. A round of arrows rained down the sky, and the city was defenseless, only the dragon's head hunting flag was clear in the wind. And the place under the city is only a few miles, which has been occupied by the enemy army in Luoyang, and at this time, their eyes are blood-red, and they have to do their best for this time.

Zhou Dewei did not attack rashly, but lined up according to the left, center and right flanks. The three rounds of arrows from the crossbowmen just now were just a test, and he really didn't dare to risk his life again, having already suffered a loss. And what made him hesitate was that the city defense of Longshou County was so empty that not even a single soldier appeared. And after three rounds of arrow rain, there was no reaction in the city, which made him even more uneasy.

The city was already in chaos, but everyone was terrified, and no one screamed. They were exhausted by last night's baptism, and they no longer had the strength to release their fears. And Gu Xing and the three of them did not return to their residence in Yuen Long, nor did they go to the county guard's mansion, but rushed straight towards Xie Ge's old residence.

At this time, only this person can solve the urgent need.

At this time, on the other side of the city, Chu Nanshuang, who had returned earlier, had already rescued the Xiang envoy trapped in the county guard's mansion at this moment, but before he could ask about the place where Siyan was trapped, the four black-clothed men had all committed suicide. The envoy was extremely angry at this time, and when he heard the news that the army was approaching the city, an irrepressible fear also rose in his heart.

After a few calculations, the two made up their minds to find Ran Qi first, and then rescue Siyan. At this time, Siyan, who was trapped in the secret room, had already begun to save himself. It's just that I don't know the situation in the city, so I don't dare to rush out. The information brought back by Chu Nanshuang was already very critical, but he didn't know that the enemy army in Luoyang came so quickly.

She ran all the way, and stole a military horse on the way, only to barely catch up. But they didn't know that so many things had happened in the city. The two of them walked out of the county guard's mansion quickly, and the street was already in chaos. From a distance, there were countless arrows stuck in the city wall, and it seemed that the attackers did not abide by the rules of confrontation between the two armies, and began to attack the city without any scruples.

The envoy made a decision immediately and took Chu Nanshuang towards the mansion of the merchant Jia Guizhou in the city. He didn't know who it was, but he guessed a little. Although they were the first to arrive, there was no chaos in the city, but someone was secretly balancing the forces.

He didn't know what happened last night, but there was no better way to do it right now. And the three Gu Xing, who took the first step, came to Xie Ge's old door, but they were closed. It was the autumn of critical survival, but Xie Ge Lao suddenly closed the door and thanked the guests, saying that there was an urgent matter to deal with first.

Gu Xing immediately made a decision to break in, but was blocked back twice or three times. Thinking that this was no longer an optional place, the three of them went to the city defense office to gather soldiers, and took advantage of the fact that they did not know the reality inside the city at this time, and defended first. After waiting for the three of them to leave, the person who was blocking outside the door entered to report, Xie Ge Lao had already approved the armor at this time, holding the double whip, ready to attack.

After listening to the words of the visitor, the corners of Xie Ge Lao's mouth hooked up a strange smile, and he commanded softly: "Send someone to follow them, and report any situation at any time." After speaking, he didn't pay attention to the visitors, turned around and walked into the inner hall, grabbed a gray harrier, put the flying book that had been prepared long ago, and pushed it with a flicker.

Xie Ge Lao's move is to wait for work, his horse pawns who are ambushed in the military service city must have clashed with the enemy army in Luoyang, and at this time, Feishu is invited to go here again to help. He knew that these people from Penglai Immortal Mountain would not be easy to comply, so he promised great benefits and made them have to help.

This is an unprecedented gamble, he wants to let Ran County Shou know that if Longshou County does not have him, it will definitely not be guaranteed. Thinking of this, Elder Xie Ge actually began to laugh wildly, "Xie Zhi's life, Xie Zhi's life, you have no last resort, and it will come in handy today." ”

At this time, the three of them, who were already like ants on a hot pot, rushed to the city defense garrison, and their hearts were agitated a little more settled. Perhaps it was a speech in the morning that played a role, and the stragglers who had been fighting separately gathered here, waiting for the county guard to give orders. Although there are only more than 3,000 people, it is much better than sitting still.

Ran Qi made a decisive decision, and ordered the elite of the city defense to gather at the city gate first, and collected the arrows to fight back. The rest of the people immediately prepared their robes and armor and went to the city gate to respond. This is a big battle that Longshou County has not experienced for a long time, and it is also a tough battle with a huge disparity in strength!

At this time, outside the city, the wind and the grass and trees were all soldiers. Zhou Dewei had to keep an eye on the enemy troops that would suddenly appear behind him and around him, and there was not much time left for him at this time. The two armies are facing each other, and it is most forbidden to rush forward. At this time, the army behind him was hungry and cold, and if he continued to wait like this, he would surely collapse without a fight.

What is in front of him right now is such a quick decision. Zhou Dewei didn't speak, and the soldiers behind him didn't dare to make the slightest move. And the three captains, like a stone statue, stood in front of the formation, waiting for Zhou Dewei's order. Finally, Zhou Dewei raised his hand and shouted: "Sons, success or failure is here." The three armies are divided, head to tail, and encircle this city! ”

The order has been given, and the army is invigorated. The previous captains of the three armies raised the order almost at the same time and began to command.

"The foot soldier raises his shield and advances ten zhang first!"

"Burn! Burn! Burn! This is Zhou Dewei's unique order answer, which is to boost morale in a short period of time through the unison of the soldiers. With three sounds, the foot soldier pressed the sword against the iron shield and began to advance in an orderly manner.

At this time, above the head of the city, there were already reconnaissance soldiers of Longshou County lying on it, seeing that the soldiers who had not acted under the city were coming, they couldn't help but tremble, pulled out the red order flag inserted behind their waists, and held it high.

At this time, the soldiers under Longshou County were already full of nervous expressions, and when they saw the two people holding high the red flag, they couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts. But they know that they must not back down at this time, and if they have the slightest cowardice, they will fall into a place of no return.

At this time, Xie Ge Lao, who was still hiding in the mansion, heard the report of the spies, and his face was a little more sad. "Have you put on the red flag?" This whispered murmur, I don't know who it was meant to listen to. And he raised his hand and waved, and immediately after the report, he turned around and ran towards the door.

Xie Ge Lao got up suddenly, raised his hand and pressed it on the iron whips on both sides of his waist, and asked urgently, "Is there a response?" ”

A person walked in quickly outside the door, knelt on the ground and clenched his fists and said loudly: "Elder Qiyu Pavilion, there is no response!" Xie Ge's eyes flashed, and the gloomy cloud between his eyebrows couldn't help but deepen a little. Originally, everything was under control, but because of the speed of the enemy army in Luoyang, it was completely chaotic.

At this time, the red order flag has appeared, and the war is about to break out. After the Tang Dynasty, the military system has come, and the military system is the most important. When marching and fighting, the soldiers pay attention to the strategy and cooperation with each other, which is to rely on and command the four-color flag of "green, yellow, red and purple".

Whether it was a confrontation between the two armies or a marching siege, the scouts carried the four-color command flag and lived in a hidden high place, and once the enemy situation was discovered, they would raise the flag and order according to the priority to make sure that everything was possible. The "Green Banner" was mostly a nuisance and a small-scale campaign with less than 1,000 troops, so this situation could be dealt with calmly, and there was no need to make a big move to resolve the crisis.

The "Orange Flag" is more urgent than the "Blue Flag", and it is only when there is a sudden encounter or uncertain danger ahead that it is indicated by this flag. However, when the "orange flag" is raised, it is mostly for leisure, not urgent, and there is no danger of survival and life. However, this "red flag" should not be easily placed at a time of non-critical circumstances, and if it is not for the disparity in strength or the fact that the other side is extremely strong and the enemy and us cannot be defeated, the "red flag" should be raised to give orders, and we must not attack rashly.

And this last "purple flag" means that the army has fallen into a certain death situation, and it can only be raised when it fights to the death. And this flag is a life of nine deaths. Compared with the current situation, you might as well let it go. However, the scout soldiers did not raise the "purple flag" or seek a glimmer of life. Maybe they want to know if they can take over this battle with such a huge disparity in strength if they try their best, or maybe they just want to live......

Gu Xing and the three of them did not delay, and they had already appeared under the city gate at this time. Seeing the "red flag" held high, Ran Qi's face was also a dead ash. He pinned his hopes on Xie Ge Lao, but for some reason he was closed. And he must now make a desperate gamble to have a glimmer of hope of keeping Longshou County.

All the soldiers turned their eyes on them in unison, and at this time, Ran Junshou was with them, and Ran Junshou was their only hope of survival. Without superfluous words, Ran Qi made a decisive decision, "Fellow comrades, at this time, it is a time of life and death, please work together to defend Longshou County and return together!" ”

When this familiar "word" sounded in Gu Xing's ears again, every soldier's face swelled with a determination to see death as home. This is the calmness after experiencing countless baptisms of war, and it is also the determination to be willing to sacrifice one's life for Longshou County.

Gu Xing looked up at the city, as if he had returned to that day. That day was the same, the county guard Ran Qi stood on the city wall, looking at the mountains at the end of his eyes, and was speechless for a long time. But he knew that all the soldiers who were alive in the city gave him their hearts and lives at that moment.

After Ran Qi finished speaking, Chen Fusheng took a step forward, knelt on the ground and clenched his fists and said, "I have a plan below, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" ”

Ran Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Chen Fusheng up, "Chen Gongzi doesn't need to be polite at this time, come quickly." In Ran Qi's already dim eyes, a different kind of fireworks suddenly flashed. Gu Xing looked at the bewildered soldiers, and they also ignited an indelible glimmer of hope.

If it is a spark, it should be a prairie fire at this moment......
