Although they had the possibility of victory, it would be a bit risky for them to do so, after all, there were only a thousand defenders in Longxian County now.

A fire and traps here killed Yan Jing, and when it was almost dawn, Yan Jing collected the defeated army, and Yan Jing sent someone to count the number of people, whether it was dead, lost, or for whatever reason! In short, Yan Jing's soldiers and horses only came back with 5,000 men and horses, in fact, this is already good, Yan Jing can recover so many defeated troops, first of all, thanks to Xu Huang for not taking advantage of the victory to pursue, and then the families of these people are in Dunhuang City, in addition, they have no food after leaving the army. Therefore, it is good that Yan Jing can gather 5,000 defeated troops, if he is a qualified general, he should judge the situation and retreat back to Dunhuang County at this time, even if he wants to attack Hanyang County, then he will have to regroup again in the future.

But Yan Jing had the best face, as soon as he saw that the enemy was not chasing, and he gathered 5,000 men and horses, he took it for granted that the enemy was still afraid of him. The reason why they ambushed themselves was just a bluff, and their failure to pursue them was the best proof of the enemy's weakness.

So after Yan Jing gathered the remnants of the army, he convened the generals in the temporary military tent to discuss the matter, and on the top of the big tent of the Chinese army, Yan Jing sat on the main seat, and everyone saw that Yan Jing's beard was on fire, and his subordinates naturally did not dare to laugh.

"Order the whole army to immediately reorganize the army, rest here for one night, and send troops to Longxian after dawn tomorrow, and we must take Longxian in one fell swoop." Yan Jing said.

"General, no! We should go back to the army! Our army lost 3,000 men and horses, and lost the first battle, and it was difficult to fight again after the spirit was defeated. A lieutenant said.

"Yes! What do you say, can't you see that the enemy is just bluffing? If the enemy comes to pursue us, we will suffer heavy losses even if we are not completely annihilated, and if they do not come to pursue, it just shows that the enemy does not have many men and horses at all. Okay, let's get ready! Take a good rest today. Yan Jing criticized the captain very harshly, and used death to block the captain's mouth, and the captain shrank his neck and didn't dare to say any more.

This night, Yan Jing and his generals and soldiers and horses did not rest well, one was frightened in their hearts, and the other was that they were ambushed by Xu Huang, can the soldiers and horses be healthy except for death? There must be wounded soldiers!

This wounded barracks was humming and chirping all night, which made the morale of Yan Jing's soldiers and horses drop a lot, Yan Jing didn't care about these anyway, anyway, his big tent was far away from the wounded barracks, as long as he Yan Jing rested, he got up early the next day, and immediately ordered the whole army to pull out the camp immediately after eating, but Yan Jing didn't know that he was in a hurry to make meritorious service? Still in a hurry to reincarnate.

Due to Yan Jing's urging, the 5,000 men and horses set out in two hours, and after a short march, Yan Jing and they were ambushed forty miles from Hanyang. One night ran out of forty miles, this back and forth line of troops is eighty miles, after a difficult march Yan Jing and the five thousand remnants of the army led by him, finally arrived at the north of Longxian twenty miles.

"General, the enemy seems to be prepared, what should we do?" A scout said to Yan Jing.

"Humph! What if you are prepared? Where our army passed, there were no chickens and dogs left behind, and the whole army was ordered to immediately reorganize and prepare for the siege. Yan Jing said with a daze at the world.

"General...... "What else did one of his subordinates want to say.

"Huh?" Yan Jing made a long sound with his nose, and immediately no one dared to say anything. "No!" The crowd responded.

**

On the city wall of the north gate of Longxian County, Hanyang County, Liangzhou, Xu Huang has led the army back early all night, this night Xu Huang not only let his subordinates rest in shifts, but also strengthened vigilance and prepared to defend Longxian County, last night's ambush of Yan Jing's soldiers and horses, Xu Huang's soldiers and horses had almost no casualties, only some unlucky soldiers were injured.

Now the morale of the military and civilians in Longxian County is high, and the comparison of forces between the enemy and us has been equalized, Xu Huang is confident that he will defend Longxian, in fact, with the current situation, Xu Huang has the ability to counterattack, but Xu Huang knows what his main task is this time, so he will not put the cart before the horse, let alone take risks.

"General, the remnants of Yan Jing's more than 5,000 soldiers and horses have reached twenty miles to the north of us. It seems that the whole army is going to attack the city immediately. At this time, a scout reported to Xu Huangyu.

"Okay, the whole army is ready to defend the city, if there is any slack, behead!" Xu Huang said. "No!" The crowd responded.

Now the sky is bright, although Xu Huang has not rested much all night, but his spirit is very good, Xu Huang has made arrangements at night, Xu Huang ordered Yuhua to lead an army of 500 to guard the east gate of Longxian County, Ma Ming led an army of 500 to guard the south gate, and Di Xiong led an army of 500 to guard the west gate, and Xu Huang's order to them was to defend and not to fight, and Xu Huang asked each gate to prepare beacon fire and wolf smoke, once there is a police to light the wolf smoke during the day and light the beacon fire at night, Xu Huang will immediately send people to support.

Xu Huang also asked Li County to lead 500 county soldiers to patrol in Longxian County to maintain order in Longxian County, and once there was a disturbance of public order in Longxian County, or when there were suspicious situations and suspicious characters, there would be no forgiveness. The remaining 3,000 men and horses Xu Huang led 2,000 men and horses to guard the north gate, and the remaining 1,000 men were in the military camp not far from the north gate, recuperating and waiting for orders.

At this time, Xu Huang was standing on the wall of the north gate, he saw a black line appear in the distance of the north gate, Xu Huang knew that the enemy was coming. Although Xu Huang has done everything he needs to do, and he is confident that he will win this battle, the lion must fight the rabbit with all his strength. Xu Huang will not give the enemy a chance.

After a while, the black line from far to near, you can already see that it is a black oppressive area of enemy troops, although the enemy's morale is low, but the number of people is large, it can still bring a certain deterrent to their own side. Through the reflection of the sun, I saw a dazzling light reflected on the armor of the enemy's weapons.

After about half an hour, Yan Jing led the army to garrison a few hundred meters outside the north gate, and at this time Xu Huang saw two thousand enemy troops leading the crowd out, and Xu Huang knew that the critical time had come.

Outside the north gate of Longxian County, Yan Jing's soldiers and horses were guarded by hundreds of soldiers, Yan Jing looked at the north gate of Longxian County, and after a while Yan Jing said: "Captain Yan, you led two partial generals and two thousand men and horses to attack the city. "The Captain Yan that Yan Jing shouted was actually Yan Jing's house slave, and because he was quite liked by Yan Jing, all Yan Jing often reused this person. In fact, Yan Jing's approach is very similar to Emperor Ling's practice of reusing eunuchs.

"The master can rest assured, his subordinates will definitely take Longxian County to repay the master's great kindness." An attendant surnamed Yan said.

"You two will lead an army of 2,000 to attack the city with me." This person was the sixth in the family, so Yan Jing generally called him the sixth son, and the sixth son shouted.

"No! Assemble the army! "The two generals immediately reorganized the army after receiving the order. Although these two partial generals were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to reorganize the army if the military order could not be violated.

On the north gate of Longxian County, after Xu Huang watched the enemy's every move, Xu Huang smiled because Xu Huang knew that this battle would be won, so Xu Huang shouted: "All the people are ready, there must be no mistakes!" After a while, Xu Huang carefully looked at the two thousand enemy troops who were about to attack the city, and did not give any other orders.

Under the city, Yan Jing was in the army, and Yan Jing looked ahead.
