In the city of Houqiu, countless defenders turned into deserters and were pouring out of the city, and there was no one on the head of the city who defended it, and the people at the other gates also fled without a fight because of the chaos in the city.

Houqiu City should have been taken easily, but Zang Ba, who was slowly wandering around the county office, showed that something was wrong.

The defenders who had fled outside the city began to pour into the city for unknown reasons.

"What's going on?" Zang Ba saw Chang Xi running on his horse and hurriedly asked.

"Boss, the reinforcements from Xuzhou are here, there are thousands of people!" Chang Xi said with a solemn expression.

Chang Xi had been ordered to take the other city gates, and when he arrived with his army, the defenders of the city gates had already collapsed, but when he climbed to the top of the city to observe the situation inside the city, he was first shocked by the situation outside the city.

A Xuzhou army of several thousand people is rushing towards Houqiu County, and the military flag in front of it has the word "Chen" written on it.

But it turned out that Chen Deng arrived.

With Chen Deng's arrival, Houqiu City immediately changed the situation.

Zang Ba and the others suddenly fell into the situation of the previous defenders.

Previously, the defenders only needed a little more time to defeat Chang Xi and close the city gates.

And now, Zang Ba also needs a period of time to completely clear the remnants of Xuzhou in Houqiu City and close the city gate, but what is missing now is this precious time.

It's changing, and that's what war is.

The reinforcements from Xuzhou must be the elite soldiers of Danyang, those people are not as good as the defenders in the city, and Zang Ba, who has dealt with the Danyang soldiers many times, knows the combat power of the Danyang soldiers very well.

"Chang Xi, you immediately lead people to retreat from the east gate and join Lao Sun and them." Zang Ba immediately decided.

The Xuzhou army has arrived, the attack on Houqiu has failed, and the next battle is not as easy as before.

"Boss, what about you?" Chang Xi hurriedly asked.

"I'll meet them and see who they are!" Zang Ba said, lifting the big knife and killing outside the west gate.

Chen Deng looked at Houqiu County Cheng in the battle with a calm face, but his heart was not calm.

It's dangerous, it's really dangerous, if you don't choose a strong person to come first, as long as you and Mi Fang make peace for another hour, this Houqiu City may fall into the hands of Taishan thieves.

The thick hill is the gateway for the army to go east, and if the thick hill is not protected, the army is afraid that there will be a tough battle......

Moreover, the thick hill leads directly to Guangling, and if the thick hill is lost, Guangling County will be exposed to the knife of the Taishan thief. And Guangling County is the foundation of the Chen family.

When Chen Deng's heart was palpitating, Zang Ba also led people to rush to the city gate, looking at his posture, he had no intention of stopping.

Chen Deng's eyes were gradually attracted by Zang Ba at the gate of the city, just looking at the outfits of Zang Ba and others, Chen Deng knew that these people must be the high-level of Taishan thieves, but he was puzzled that Taishan thieves either held on to the city or evacuated quickly, how could they rush to their own army?

Zang Ba brandished the big knife in his hand, even though the elite soldiers of Danyang were extraordinary, no one could stop him.

Seeing Zang Ba approaching, the sergeant behind Chen Deng immediately rushed to the front to form a formation and guarded Chen Deng around.

"Chen Yuanlong? I didn't expect it to be you...... However, there is really no one else in Xuzhou surnamed Chen who can lead the troops! Zang Ba finally saw Chen Deng under the banner when he was charging.

"Deng didn't expect to meet Zang Dangjia so early!" Chen Deng said with a slight smile, as if he was an old friend with Zang Ba.

"It seems that as soon as Cao Bao died, your Chen family gained a lot of benefits! It's just that you think you can really win? Zang Ba also stopped, looked at the thousands of troops in front of him, and talked to Chen Deng.

"I haven't fought yet, who knows the outcome of the battle?" Chen Deng's face remained unchanged.

"Haha! Good Chen Yuanlong, if you know that the people of the Cao family went to Guangling, can you still laugh? Zang Ba's face was filled with playfulness.

"What's the point of worrying? The Cao family will eventually die out, and it won't be a big deal! Chen Deng didn't mean to worry at all.

"Good...... Then I will take off your head today and let you go and meet my father!" Although Zang Ba said cruel words, his body did not move.

After listening to Zang Ba's words, Chen Deng was not angry, as if he didn't care.

"If the body of Zang Da Da dies here, I don't know how many Taishan thieves will be scattered?" Chen Deng said and glanced at the people around him.

"A certain family's life is not so easy to take!" Seeing that Chen Deng was so calm, Zang Ba no longer attacked with any words, and his legs slammed into the horse's belly, rushing straight forward to Chen Deng like a bow and arrow.

"Protect Chen!"

When many people surrounded Zang Ba, there was no vacancy in front of Chen Deng, and many people stood up with spears in front of Chen Deng, and a simple gun formation was quickly formed.

But Zang Ba seemed to have premeditated, and the war horse suddenly made a sharp turn, flashed past the hundreds of Xuzhou soldiers who rushed in, and then still rushed towards Chen Deng.

"Can a mere array of guns stop me?" Zang Ba snorted disdainfully, and as soon as he lifted the reins of the horse, the war horse suddenly jumped high, and immediately, the long knife swept around, and seven or eight people were swept down in a moment.

In a leap and a sweep, the dense array of guns was forced to break a gap.

Seeing that Zang Ba had already entered the formation, the surrounding Xuzhou army immediately gave up the gun formation, and all surrounded it, Zang Ba was also extraordinary, in the face of these Danyang elite soldiers, there was still no unanimous enemy, and the forward momentum did not stop at all.

Zang Ba was getting closer and closer to Chen Deng, and the guards beside Chen Deng also rushed forward to block Zang Ba's advance, and Chen Deng himself quickly retreated under the escort of several personal guards.

Seeing that Chen Deng was getting farther and farther away, in the face of the Danyang elite soldiers who were not afraid of death, even if Zang Ba was a martial artist, his forward speed had to slow down.

"Don't do anything, withdraw!" Zang Ba suddenly shouted to the people around him, and when he turned the horse's head, he grabbed a long halberd next to him and projected it forward and forcefully towards Chen Deng, but unfortunately, the halberd missed and only hit one of Chen Deng's guards.

"Chen Yuanlong, keep your little life in mind for the time being. Hahahaha" Zang Ba's tone was not annoyed, he laughed twice, and led people out of the military formation again.

It's just that at the moment when he was about to break out of the encirclement, a steel knife slashed through Zang Ba's arm, bringing up a puddle of blood.

Zang Ba's grinning appearance finally made Chen Deng's heart feel better.

Looking at Zang Ba and his party who were gradually moving away, and then at the guards who were pierced by the halberd and the end of the blade protruded from before death, Chen Deng still touched his chest with some palpitations.

"A thousand armies are easy to obtain, but a general is hard to find, the ancients did not deceive me!"

A good big victory, but the morale was suppressed so low by a Zang Ba with dozens of people, Chen Deng couldn't help but sigh.
