Several Northern Zhou soldiers rushed over to this side like crazy, most of these border troops were with the Qiang people and the Turks who had survived a hundred battles, and they could be regarded as elite, not to mention that the military discipline of the Northern Perimeter Army had always been harsh, and these soldiers could not afford the crime of losing their positions.

The two battle masters behind them were also red-eyed, urging the soldiers to keep rushing upward.

In front of them, Ma Lun had already rushed in front of Hou Mi with a sword. Maren didn't know where he got his courage, he only knew that the enemy was about to rush in, and as the supreme commander of the entire city, he was obliged to be here.

An old soldier of the Hou family obviously saw that this was an official, so he didn't hurry to dodge the two knives of the guards beside Ma Lun, and the spear in his hand shook a spear flower, directly separating the two guards from Ma Lun. The two guards obviously didn't have much experience in battle, and they were easily transferred. And a sneer flashed across the corner of the Hou family's mouth, and the spear danced even more vigorously, like an impermeable barrier.

In a trance, there was no one around him, and a young man in front of him grinned at him and pounced directly with a wave of his knife.

"Dang!" With a crisp sound, Ma Lun's wrist was numb for a while, and the saber was directly smashed by Hou Mi, and Ma Lun's footsteps were unsteady, and he staggered back and sat down directly in the wild grass. And something rolled out of his sleeve.

Hou Mi picked the knife in his hand and directly picked up the small package, Ma Lun's official seal and a small model rolled out, and the surrounding soldiers realized something, and rushed to both sides to make room for Hou Mi and Ma Lun.

Hou Mi picked up the official seal casually, glanced at it, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect this big fish to hit the fishing net by itself." ”

Maren gritted his teeth and snorted, don't look over, obviously the enemy is stronger than he imagined, it seems that he really should be like the two battle masters said, stay honest in the back and not make trouble.

After a pause, Hou Mi's gaze fell on the small model, which was a model of a bow and crossbow, which looked very exquisite.

"Don't move!" Maren suddenly barely stood up and said angrily.

Saying this, Hou Mi was interested, casually put Ma Lun's official seal into his sleeve, picked up the model and looked at it carefully, and then said with a smile: "Although I don't know much about these, I can see that you are also attentive, if you are interested······ Well, if the Hou of Hanzhong is interested, he will talk to you. ”

With a wave of his hand, Hou Mi said in a deep voice: "Hold on!" ”

The guards escorted the struggling Mullen out first, and Hou Mi thought about it and asked the guards to give the model to Mullen. And Hou Mi then looked at the battlefield in front of him, the Bashu army was led by several Hou family veterans to penetrate the enemy, and saw that Malen fell into the hands of the Bashu army, and the fighting spirit of the Northern Zhou army was also hit.

This battle has obviously already had a result, and there is no need for more command from Hou Mi.

"General, the enemy is retreating to the northwest corner." A building will come quickly.

"It's good to force them out of the city, the enemy is outnumbered, and our battle line can't be stretched too long," Hou Mi said in a deep voice, and then smiled bitterly, "It's still enough." ”

For Hou Mi, these enemies are obviously far less important than the food in the city and outside the city, as long as they can get these grains, they will be considered victorious, as for more, Hou Mi asked himself if it is not Li Xinchen, he does not have this ability.

It's good to be able to find a place for this.

As for that Ma Lun, Hou Mi is a little interested, it seems that this person still has some skills for machinery, look at this surname to know that nine times out of ten it is related to Fufeng Ma's family, Fufeng Ma's has more craftsmen, including the famous Cao Wei master Ma Jun.

And this Mullen is also such a character nine times out of ten.

Hou Mi has not been in Bashu for a long time, but he is very clear about Li Xinchen's attention to equipment and craftsmen, half of Jiankang Mansion has been poached by him before the light talk, not to mention, the craftsmen who can be found in Bashu are also undergoing intensive training, correspondingly, large workshops have sprung up in Shu County and even Hanzhong.

It can be said that wherever Li Xinchen's army fought, the workshop was built, and the arrows, swords, and even large trebuchets and bed crossbows that were cultivated and produced would be distributed to the front-line troops as quickly as possible.

If this Ma Lun really has some ability, he will inevitably become Li Xinchen's valued talent, as for whether Ma Lun will be willing to serve Li Xinchen in the end, it is not a matter for Hou Mi to think about, but then again, Hanzhong Hou has never lost to anyone in recruiting talents, and a Ma Lun should not be a problem.

Obviously, for such a person, the army is not where he should be, and the workshops that are in full swing under Li Xinchen's command are where he comes in.

"This Mullen is just rubbish!" The general slapped the battle report in his hand on the wall and looked at Han Baohu, "General, Chen Cang has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and our food is insufficient, so this city will not be easy to defend." ”

Han Baohu glanced at this partial general, Han Feng, as his name suggests, as a side branch of the Han family, he has always fought bravely, otherwise he would not have walked to this position at a young age and became Han Baohu's deputy, this time in the battle of Yangping Pass, Han Feng repelled the enemy who rushed to the city several times, otherwise the situation that Han Baohu would face is likely to be even more complicated than now.

"Silence," Han Baohu said lightly as he looked at the enemies outside the gate who had begun to line up again, "It's best not to let too many people know about this matter now." ”

Han Feng spread his hands helplessly: "With Xiao Shilian's character, he will definitely send someone to publicize it later, so there is no need for us to hide anything ······"

"He does his, we do ours." Han Baohu directly interrupted Han Feng, "We can't let his will affect what we should do." ”

Han Feng looked at Han Baohu, who was looking at each other, and although he was a little unconvinced, he still nodded. And Han Baohu sighed softly: "Chen Cang was destroyed, Guanzhong is afraid that it will be a bad harvest because of the war, and the soldiers and horses that can supply Sui Guogong and the general are already thankful, and the next days will not be easy." This time it was a certain negligence, and he didn't expect Xiao Shilian to really come to a 'dark Chen Cang'. ”

Han Feng hurriedly waved his hand: "The general's words are wrong, we don't have many soldiers and horses to defend the city, and the defense of Chen Cang is not within our jurisdiction, Ma Lun and the others are derelict in their duties, that is their responsibility, what does it have to do with the general?" Now the subordinates think that we must hurry up and inform the general of this situation, and ask the general to send troops and horses to Tianshui to intercept the enemy in Chencang, and at the same time send as much grain and grass as possible. ”

"Grain and Grass ······" Han Baohu muttered a sigh, "How many battles, defeated by no food!" ”
