The first rays of sunlight in the early morning shone on the earth, and at the head of Linjin City, the blood-stained head of the candidate hung high on it, showing that Yang Feng, the candidate and others failed in their attempt to seize the city last night, and the fate of the candidate was also directly cut off and hung on the head of the city, which was used to deter the young people inside and outside the city.

Last night, Yang Feng, Candidate, and Fu Mengji set fire to the incident, making chaos, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to seize Linjin City, but the process was not satisfactory, and after a scuffle, they all suffered the doom of defeat.

Yang Feng burned the camp at first and rushed out of the camp, taking advantage of the chaos to deceive the city, but after deceiving the drawbridge, he was still identified at the city gate, so his original form was revealed, and the army attacked the city gate.

It's a pity that after the city gate was broken, the tun general of the west gate had already blocked the city gate with a knife car to block Yang Feng's chaotic army from rushing into the city, and at the same time, the reinforcements sent by Meng Tu to rush to the city gate also arrived in a hurry.

And the candidate department also collapsed completely when victory was close at hand. Although the two soldiers and horses sent to the granary and the city gate failed to make any contributions, they attracted and delayed the reinforcements sent by Meng Tu to the official temple in the city because of the melee with the patrolling soldiers, so that the candidates could make a desperate bet and attack the official temple where Ganling was located.

And when the rebel army rushed into the official temple and fought with the guards and soldiers commanded by Gan Ling, the official temple sounded the sound of the golden watch, which was the wisdom of Ganling in a hurry, and asked the soldiers to ring the golden watch in advance, so as to break the morale of the rebellious army that took advantage of the night to get up.

Ganling's plan, in a panic, obviously worked. The candidate led the troops to fight in the city, and the soldiers and horses under his command only felt that time passed, dangerous and abnormal, where to remember the specific time, and there was no way to verify it under the chaotic battle, but it was estimated that the sky was about to dawn, and they became more impatient and restless, and their morale was not as strong as at the beginning.

For this reason, the candidate had to make a decision on the spot, risking death to take the lead in killing, he rushed into the official temple with his henchmen, fought to the death, and once occupied the advantage, but with Ma Yunlu's coincidental volley of arrows, he injured the candidate's right arm, forcing the candidate to retreat again and again, and the morale declined, coupled with the fact that the sky was about to dawn, the soldiers who had been fighting hard for a long time under his command no longer had the will to fight, and they withdrew from the official temple one after another, intending to flee in the direction of the city gate.

These defeated soldiers escorted the candidates and hurried to the direction of the city gate, just in time for Dian Wei to lead the troops to the official temple, and there was another melee on the way, the candidates were killed by Dian Wei, and the defeated soldiers of the department were also killed, leaving only a few soldiers who surrendered and fled.

Fu Mengji did not attack well at the beginning, and was afraid that Ma Lin led the army outside the city to counterattack, so he hurriedly led Feng Yiqiang's cavalry and retreated overnight.

At this point, Gan Ling let the soldiers ring the golden watch of the dawn in advance, and heard that the sky was about to dawn, and the soldiers and horses all over the city became more and more courageous, and the chaotic army scattered to create chaos, and the young people who tried to fish in troubled waters were frightened, knowing that the defeat had been decided, and they fled one after another, and the people in the city heard the sound of the golden watchman that the sky was about to dawn, and they also settled down their minds, knowing that this long, chaotic nightmare had survived.

The scattered rebels were pacified one by one, and fires were extinguished in various parts of the city. Although afterwards, everyone felt that the rising sun in the east was slower than in the past, but it was gratifying that this sudden rebellion was finally suppressed.

Ma Lin, Meng Tu, Dian Wei and other generals who pursued the rebels, repaired the city defense barracks, rectified the defense of the city, and calmed the people's hearts, were all busy, although they killed a lot of rebellious troops, but these people were still their comrades in the army one night ago, fighting in the same room, killing each other, and there was no talk of post-war celebrations.

In the official temple, Gan Ling led a team of guards, about to leave the house, Ma Yunlu, who made a contribution with one arrow last night, also came out, and wanted to ask to go out of the house with Gan Ling to inspect the defense of the city, in her words, there were so many chaotic troops in the city last night, it must be that Ganling did not manage the army properly, and he also had to inspect the city defense for his own safety.

In the face of Ma Yunlu's sarcasm, Gan Ling rarely did not put on a straight face, although this cold young female general did not pretend to herself, but last night it was indeed thanks to her miraculous arrow, she was able to shoot the candidate in the chaos of the army, otherwise, that scuffle was also dangerous and abnormal for Ganling's side.

Gan Ling asked Ma Yunlu to put on the clothes and armor of the Hedong Army, pointed to the heroic Ma Yunlu, and said with a smile to the righteous guards beside him:

"This is General Ma!"

After Gan Ling laughed, he didn't make any other stops, and the group left the official temple along the street and came to the west gate that had been split last night.

Along the way, although Ma Yunlu's face is calm, but she will still look around in a novel way, this is the first time she has left Liangzhou, to such a far place, but unfortunately there are few traces of people in the city, last night was chaotic all night, the fire also burned all night, although the chaos has been calmed down, Ganling also sent people to announce the city, calming the people's hearts, but the cautious people in the city still chose to close their doors.

Even in the city, there are very few people, and both men and women in the city are in a hurry, and they hurry home.

Ma Yunlu rode all the way, what she saw and heard was like a war-torn Liangzhou, and her expression was inevitably a little silent in the end.

At this time, Gan Ling had no intention of joking with her, at this time there were still traces of blood and swords and arrows left on the streets and walls, although last night's conspiracy of the rebellious army did not succeed, but after this chaos, it was also a great damage to Linjin City.

Everyone rode their horses to the West City Gate, the city gate of this place, last night was also split by Yang Feng with a chaotic army heavy axe blade, the remaining façade, the axe marks are scattered, like a ravine, now the West Gate Tun will let the soldiers and craftsmen repair the city gate as soon as possible.

Ximentun General was almost won by the rebel army last night to open the city gate, and then recognized the identity of the rebel army in time, bravely resisted, defended well, and successfully repelled Yang Feng's attack with the reinforcements sent by Meng Tu.

After he saw Ganling, he hurriedly trotted over and saw Ganling, and after Ganling pacified a few words, he led everyone to steadily climb the city.

Outside the city, two horsemen were raising smoke and dust from a distance, and galloped towards the city gate quickly, and after seeing the two scouts, Ganling's personal guard whispered to Ganling:

"General Zhonglang is a scout in the army."

Gan Ling nodded, waved his hand and asked the city guards to bring the two scouts into the city, the two scouts were originally going to rush to the official temple, but after seeing that Gan Ling had already arrived at the city wall, he hurriedly dismounted and approached, panting and said:

"General Zhonglang, urgent military situation. Ma Duwei sent soldiers and horses to pursue Feng Yiqiang and the rebel army, and found that a large number of soldiers and horses were coming towards Linjin, which was already less than forty miles away from Linjin City. Judging by its banner, it is the soldiers and horses of the right general Guo Yan, no less than 20,000 people. ”

Hearing that Guo Yan's soldiers and horses were rushing to Linjin City, everyone couldn't help but face heavy, Linjin City just had a turmoil last night, and today Guo Yan's soldiers and horses heard the news, saying that there is no connection between the two, and no one can believe it.

The person who came was not good, whether it was robbing while the fire was burning, he originally wanted to cooperate with Yang Feng, Candidate, Feng Yiqiang and others, but the soldier pointed directly at Linjin City.

Gan Ling held the hilt of his sword in his hand and looked in the direction outside the city. Linjin City originally had 5,000 horsemen, plus Qiang Hu Yicong and Feng Yiqiang's men and horses, there were enough 8,000 horses, but after a civil strife last night, Yang Feng and the two candidates died or fled, and Fu Mengji's Feng Yiqiang cavalry also fled from Linjin City, and his soldiers and horses were less than 6,000.

And the soldiers and horses sent by Guo Yan this time have already reached 20,000 people, and if the two sides fight next, it will undoubtedly be a bitter battle for the Linjin City side.

···

More than 30 miles west of Linjin City, Guo Yan's 20,000 soldiers and horses chose a flat place to camp, and the leaders were Gao Shuo and Xia Yu, the generals under Guo Yan.

The soldiers under his command were building the camp, but Gao Shuo and Xia Yu did not stay in the camp, but left the camp with a large force of cavalry, and came to a high ground outside the camp, Yang Feng and Fu Mengji seemed to be among them.

Fu Mengji horses followed after the crowd of horses, a little depressed, he originally listened to Yang Feng's contact, and planned to swear that Yang Feng, the two candidates would be successful, to start an incident together, to capture Linjin City, but unfortunately it backfired, not only did Linjin City not take, but also with the people and horses in Hedong, and his desire to become Feng Yiqiang's Lord in the future was even more hanging.

Yang Feng looked at the somewhat depressed husband Mengji, he smiled coldly, although the soldiers under his command were also killed and injured last night, but now that Guo Yan's soldiers and horses are down, everything still has room to maneuver, he salivated, patted the horse and approached Gao Shuo and Xia Yu, regardless of the disgusted and vigilant look of the guards around the two, and said complimentingly:

"Two captains, after last night's chaos in Linjin City, the soldiers and horses suffered heavy casualties, if you step up the attack tomorrow, with the elite soldiers and strong generals under the command of the two captains, you will definitely be able to capture Linjin City in one fell swoop, and capture Ganling and other Hedong generals."

Gao Shuo had a dark face, glanced at Xia Yu who was disapproving beside him, turned his head to look at Yang Feng, and said with a sneer in his mouth:

"Speaking of the chaos in the city, I still have to work hard for Yang Junhou and others."

"How dare you do it, this matter was originally within the scope of our promise, because it happened suddenly, I was afraid that it would leak out, so I had to rush into action, and after a hard battle, although the soldiers under my command broke into the city, they suffered heavy casualties, so they had to lead the army to retreat."

"It's a pity that my brother Hou Xian, after a hard fight, finally died in the city of Linjin, and even his head was cut off by the soldiers and horses of Hedong and hung on the city gate tower."

Yang Feng said with a sad face, and Xia Yu, who had been silent, snorted coldly, and finally spoke:

"Yang Junhou, my scout report, but said that although the city of Linjin has experienced civil strife, the scout sentry outside the city is densely packed, the city head is heavily guarded, and even the camp outside the city that you said is also Diao Dou Senming, and there is no flaw exposed because of the civil strife, your remarks, I'm afraid it's just your words."

"Captain Xia, how dare Feng lie about the military situation and deceive the two captains, this Linjin City, after last night's chaos, the soldiers and horses were damaged, and the morale was greatly weakened, although it seems that it is still heavily garrisoned, but it is already the end of the strong crossbow, as long as the army is pressed, it will definitely be able to defeat the soldiers and horses in Hedong and capture the city."

Yang Feng defended repeatedly, Xia Yu still sneered, and he pointed in the direction of Linjin City in the distance.

"Since Yang Junhou is so determined, then tomorrow when he attacks Linjin City, he will take your department as the forerunner and help my army take Linjin City."

"It's-"

Yang Fengyan showed a sad face when he heard this, and he said uncomfortably:

"It is naturally a blessing for the Fengsu Department to be able to drive the two captains, but after last night's hard fighting, the Fengsu Department suffered heavy casualties and damaged ordnance, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on such a heavy siege task!"

Yang Feng originally thought that as long as he was familiar with the inside story, he offered advice and conspired to capture Linjin City, and he could still be listed as a great achievement, but after hearing that Xia Yu wanted to list him as a precursor to the siege, his heart immediately cooled.

He couldn't help but secretly scold Xia Yu for being vicious, this Linjin City has high walls and deep ravines, if he was sent to storm the city after losing a lot of money, even if the army pressed on it later, he successfully captured Linjin City.

But I don't know how many people can be left, even if I have a great merit, there is no way to reward the merit, and the final outcome is most likely to be swallowed up by this gloomy and silent Xia Yu.

Xia Yu smiled, completely ignoring Yang Feng's shirk, and continued:

"In that case, then I will send Feng Yiqiang's Qiang people to you as well, so that your soldiers and horses will also have nearly 2,000 people, and they are already capable of taking the lead."

"It's-"

Yang Feng also wanted to postpone his words, but seeing that Gao Shuo and the guards around him had bad eyes, he had to swallow the postponed words back into his stomach.

After he made a promise, he slowed down his horse and waited for Fu Mengji to come up, and then asked him to tell him briefly that Gao Shuo and Xia Yu wanted to send their soldiers and horses as a precursor to the siege.

Fu Mengji could roughly understand the language of the Han people, and when he heard that his soldiers and horses were about to be sent to attack the city, his face immediately changed greatly, and he cursed in Qiang.

These Guo Yan's soldiers and horses, in his opinion, are untrustworthy, when they wanted to use them Feng Yiqiang at the beginning, they promised a lot of money and goods, but once they used up their Feng Yiqiang's people, they turned their faces and did not recognize people, and they also wanted to exhaust all the blood on Feng Yiqiang's warriors.

Fu Mengji was still scolding, and Yang Feng was also pale when he heard it, and he didn't bother to pay attention to this Qiang adult.

He looked in the direction of Linjin City, and secretly said in his heart, the world is dangerous, if it is used as a precursor to the siege, it will definitely be a dead end, and he has to think of a way to avoid this disaster again.
