This time, the enemy came very suddenly, and several outposts in the distance were pushed flat before they could give any signal.

All the soldiers gathered towards the city wall, and the people of the city quietly hid behind the door, listening to the news outside.

Zhou Zhengqi, surrounded by the generals, walked in the direction of Beicheng. Passing by Lu Yishuang's door, he asked the guards on the side in a deep voice: "Have you invited the county lord to the General's Mansion?" ”。

"The eldest lady has already gone to invite!" The guard bowed in response.

"That's good!" Zhou Zhengqi nodded.

When he climbed to the top of the city, he saw that countless torches shone out of the swarthy army below.

"Who's coming?" The adjutant general of the city shouted loudly. This person's voice is really loud, and it can be clearly transmitted to the military array below from Li Xu.

A horse rushed out from the opposite side and came to the bottom of the city. Facing the city, he said in a half-baked Central Plains dialect: "The king of my family has been inspecting here, and suddenly he thought that he had not seen the general for many years, so he traveled thousands of miles and brought lamb wine to conspire with the general to get drunk. I don't know if the general is willing to appreciate his face? ”

Zhou Zhengqi laughed, his white beard shaking. "Appreciate the face, of course you have to appreciate the face! Then how about inviting His Royal Highness King Sencheng to come up and talk about it now? ”。

The Hu people below stopped talking and led their horses to run towards the military formation.

After a while, I saw a gap in the opposing military formation. The black-armored and white-horse King of the Thousand Vehicles walked in the middle surrounded by many subordinates, and then stood still with a large banner.

"Old General Zhou, I've come from afar, don't you want to be a little bit of the friendship of the landlord?" King Qiancheng said with a smile.

"I have prepared the food and drinks, just wait for His Highness to come up and enjoy them!" Zhou Zhengqi said with a smile: "Although the surrendered city is in this bitter cold place, there are also all kinds of rare dishes in the Central Plains. Your Highness must not have tasted it! Please condescend and come up and toast with the old man! ”。

"I heard that the old general was brave, and when I saw it today, I knew that what is famous is actually difficult to match!" King Qiancheng sneered and said: "The dignified town of the Great General, you don't dare to come down and have a drink with me, it's ridiculous!" ”。

"The famous Thousand Vehicles King of the Northern Desert is nothing more than that!" Zhou Zhengqi said-for-tat, "I have prepared wine and food in the city, and you are not willing to appreciate it, so don't laugh at the old man for being timid!" The old man is old, and it is normal to be timid. Your Royal Highness is in the middle of the year, and I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public by doing this! ”。

The adjutant general on the side said in a low voice: "This Thousand Rider King doesn't seem to have the intention of attacking the city at all, right?" ”。

Zhou Zhengqi sneered and said, "Just with these people, they dare to attack the surrendered city?" The meaning of this Thousand Vehicles King is to create a terrifying atmosphere, and he wants to make it difficult for our army to end up in the city. ”

"Then should we send a message to the army ahead!" The lieutenant was a little anxious.

"No need!" Zhou Zhengqi sighed slightly, "It's a bit late to say this now!" It can only be seen how General Ma responds! King Qiancheng didn't mean to tear his face with us, his main purpose was still on General Han and them. ”。

"Poof!" The captured Hu people spy was brought to Ma Teng.

Ma Teng looked at him coldly. The man struggled to his feet, but was kicked in the crook of the leg by the sergeant behind him, and fell to his knees with a thud.

"General, catch a spy!" The soldier in the back said in a deep voice.

Ma Teng waved his hand and said, "Push it out, cut it!" ”。

The Hu spy suddenly became anxious, and shouted loudly in an unusual Central Plains dialect: "Your surrendered city has been surrounded by our king, see how many days you can jump." Your time of death is coming. Let go of me, let go of me, ah......hhh

"What do you think?" Ma Teng looked coldly at these generals in front of him.

"General Ma, the last general thinks that this person's words are not necessarily false. The great king he spoke of should be the king of a thousand times. Some time ago, there was news that King Sencheng was coming to the east. General Wang said.

"So what do we do? Do you want to go back and clear the siege first? Another person proposed.

Ma Teng hung his head and thought about it, and said fiercely: "Don't go back, keep going!" As long as we save General Han and them, we will rush back immediately! With the presence of a great general, the surrendered city is not so easy to be breached! ”。

"General, think twice!" The man who had said he was going back to relieve the siege shouted.

"I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me! What are the responsibilities and consequences, I will bear them with all my might! Ma Teng stood up abruptly, resolute.

"Report!" A spy Pegasus reported, "General Han and their traces have been discovered, and they are in Chifeng Valley, fifty miles away!" ”。

"Quick, pass the order, go full speed!" Ma Teng shouted.

"Yes!".

On Han Xiuqi's side, from Huo Xiang to the early morning of the second day, the Hu people suddenly strengthened their offensive.

The rain of arrows rained down and covered the entire position.

Most of the soldiers were shielded, and only a few dozen were wounded by stray arrows. But most of the horses did not escape this attack, and were shot to death, or after being frightened, trampled each other to death.

Han Xiuqi had no choice but to let people open the temporary stables and let the horses out from the front of the position.

But you can't cheapen those Hu people for nothing. Han Xiuqi had flammable firewood tied to the rear ponytail, and then set it on fire.

Hundreds of horses suddenly rushed down the slope, and the Hu people couldn't dodge it, so they rushed into the formation. A large number of people were injured and trampled to death. It took a long time for calm to return.

Han Xiuqi sighed, if he still had a group of horses, he would be able to break through at this time.

In the morning, the Hu people began to attack from all sides! In addition to attacking from the frontal slope, on the other three sides, there were also Hu people who began to climb up with the help of the grass and trees on the cliff.

Huo Xiang was dressed in red, and was extremely conspicuous among these sergeants. She patrolled along the cliffs on three sides, and immediately went up when it was more dangerous, and the throwing knives were fired continuously, and the Hu people fell down one by one wailing.

"Miss Huo is a good knife skill!" The soldiers next to him praised one after another.

Huo Xiang was extremely useful in his heart, grinned, and shook his hand: "It's nothing, it's a piece of cake!" ”。

After saying that, he swept his eyes, and found that someone had begun to climb up again. He whispered, "Look for death!" Then he threw a throwing knife at it.

"With Miss Huo here, it's better than three hundred male soldiers!" Several people laughed and complimented again.

On Han Xiuqi's side, the situation is already very critical! The Hu people are so powerful that they have already occupied two trenches one after another! Although many Hu people were killed, the casualties of the Qi army were not small.

Fighting head-on, Qi people really don't have an advantage.

The long sword in Han Xiuqi's hand was like frost, and his body was like electricity. Almost every time the sword shadow flashed, a Hu man would lose his life.

"This man is amazing! Let's go together! Hu Ren couldn't help but scream when he saw him whistling around.

Several high-ranking Hu people pounced with knives in their hands one after another, coming straight towards Han Xiuqi.
