Nangong Xia's Narcissus Legion did not delay for too long this time, and rushed to the front of Yanzhao Pass after only one day.

Nangong Xia was very excited when he heard about it, and he was also shocked and admired by Shi Ziling's methods. When his Narcissus Legion came to Yanzhao Pass, Ma Yu led a thousand cavalry to meet him early.

As soon as he saw Ma Yu, Nangong Xia said with a smile: "Why are you so polite, you came out to greet me several miles away from the city?"

Ma Yu frowned and sighed, "Ziling...... Alas......"

Nangong Xia was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter, could it be that Ziling was injured? Isn't it? Doesn't it mean that you have taken Yan Zhaoguan lightly without bloodshed? With Ziling's peerless skills, even Li Yuan may not be able to hurt him, right?"

Ma Yu said with a worried face: "Ziling was not injured, but rushed to rescue Xiahou Yuan too anxiously. Since he didn't have many troops with him, I was worried that he would be outnumbered and unable to match Li Yuan's army!"

"Oh?"

Nangong Xia was surprised: "Why did Ziling set off in such a hurry, how many people did he take?"

Ma Yu said: "That's right, we learned from Li Xiaoyao that Xiahou Yuan had reassembled a group of troops in front of Black Dragon City, intending to fight to the death with Li Yuan's two major legions. According to what Li Xiaoyao said, the Xiahou family is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and it can only last for fifteen or sixteen days at most, Ziling heard that he was afraid that the Xiahou family would be uprooted by Li Yuan, in order to form a flanking attack with the Xiahou family, Ziling immediately rushed to the Black Dragon City to rescue. ”

"Alas, although Li Yuan's two major armies have consumed a lot of money in the previous fierce battles, according to Li Xiaoyao, there are still nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, even if the news of our capture of Yanzhao Pass has not leaked out, Ziling can receive the effect of surprise soldiers here, but after all, his strength is limited, and he has to face Li Yuan's 100,000 army, I am very worried that he will be in danger. ”

Nangong Xia hurriedly asked, "How many men and horses did Ziling bring over, and how many military horses are left on Xiahou Yuan's side?"

Ma Yu replied: "Ziling is worried that Yan Zhao Pass will be lost, so I asked me to lead half of the army and horses to guard here, and he only brought 30,000 elite soldiers and hurried to the Black Dragon City to rescue." As for the Xiahou family, according to Li Xiaoyao, there are probably only sixty or seventy thousand horses. ”

"Alas, Ziling used the dementor ** to control Li Xiaoyao, thinking that he would definitely succeed in a surprise attack on Li Yuan, but he didn't listen to how I persuaded him. Senior Nangong, you came just in time, please for the sake of our two families being allies, hurry up and help Ziling!

Nangong Xia calculated in his heart, although Shiziling only had 30,000 elite soldiers, but this trip to Black Dragon City was definitely beyond Li Yuan's expectations, and Li Xiaoyao, who had been hit by the dementor, was in his hands, so he would definitely be able to receive the effect of a surprise soldier and attack Li Yuan by surprise. In addition, Xiahou Yuan's 60,000 or 70,000 military horses had reached the point of fighting a battle against the water, and the total strength of the two sides was about the same as Li Yuan's.

Nangong Xia knew that Shi Ziling was by no means a reckless person, he was not related to the Xiahou family, if he was not sure, he would never rush to the rescue. Since Shi Ziling has a good chance of winning, and Ma Yu begged him to rush to help, why don't he be a favor and lead the troops to follow up and defeat Li Yuan completely? In this way, if Shi Ziling achieves a great cause in the future, their Nangong family will also be a great achievement.

Nangong Xia asked, "How many days does it take to get to Black Dragon City from here at the earliest?"

Ma Yu said: "According to Li Xiaoyao, you can reach Black Dragon City from here in ten days at the earliest. ”

Nangong Xia nodded and said, "Then it should be too late, without further ado, I will lead the men and horses to rush directly to support Ziling." You'd better fly the pigeon and tell Ziling as soon as possible, and let him wait for me on the road for a day, and we will surprise Li Yuan together after we meet. This is a rare opportunity, we can join forces with the Xiahou family to defeat Li Yuan completely. ”

Ma Yu was overjoyed and said: "Originally, Ziling was only six or seven points sure, I was still quite worried, if Nangong seniors were willing to rush to support immediately, then our certainty of winning would be eight or nine, thank you Nangong seniors for helping!"

Nangong Xia said with a smile: "I have a relationship with this kid Ziling, and I am an ally with you in the east, so I should help him with reason." This kid is in such a hurry, it seems that he is very sure, I just hope he doesn't underestimate Li Yuan, halu ha......"

Nangong Xia immediately gave the order to go down, and the Narcissus Army did not pause, passed through Yanzhao Pass and went directly north, and hurried to chase the Shiziling in front.

When Nangong Xia's Narcissus Legion all passed, Ma Yu was greatly relieved. He lied in front of Nangong Xia that the Xiahou family could still support it for fifteen or sixteen days, and deliberately understated Li Yuan's total strength by tens of thousands, in order to fool Nangong Xia to go directly to help.

Ma Yu expected that if Nangong Xia calculated that Shi Ziling and the Xiahou family would win a lot under the joint attack, he would definitely be willing to catch up and help. If he had told the truth that the Xiahou family was already hopeless, maybe Nangong Xia would not have been so decisive to follow up and fight against Li Yuan.

In addition, Ma Yu deliberately said that he had 20,000 more troops left, in order to naturally worry that Nangong Xia would intend to invade Yanzhao Pass, and at this moment, seeing that the Narcissus Legion had gone directly north, he finally put his mind at ease.

Nangong Xia actually saw that Ma Yu was defensive of himself, but he really didn't think about taking the opportunity to occupy Yanzhao Pass. Nangong Xia was quite convinced of Shi Ziling's ability, and thought that Shi Ziling really had a good chance to defeat Li Yuan, so he agreed to send troops to help.

Of course, if Nangong Xia knew that the Xiahou family could not support it for so many days, and there was not much chance to form a joint force with Shiziling's reinforcements, he would not be so anxious to lead the troops to help.

After Nangong Xia's Narcissus Army left, Ma Yu immediately flew a pigeon to send a letter to Shi Ziling, telling him the news that Nangong Xia was coming later, hoping that Shi Ziling could make adjustments in time after receiving the news, and not be too hasty.

In addition, Ma Yu's cronies sent the 50,000 defenders under Li Xiaoyao to the suburbs in batches for a ruthless purge. Although these 50,000 elite soldiers have been disarmed, after all, they are all descendants of Li Yuan's army, and it is impossible for them to be willing to follow Shi Ziling, and if they stay in Guanzhong, they will be too threatening to Ma Yu.

Ma Yu is a child of a family, since he was a child, he was taught to be ruthless to the enemy in troubled times, although he understood that it was not appropriate to treat prisoners like this, but with his only 10,000 troops, of which 5,000 were the surrendered troops left by Yin Qi, if there was an accident, he would not be able to control the situation at all. The purge of these 50,000 defenders may seem cruel, but it is also for self-preservation.

Ma Yu knows Shi Ziling's personality very well, and he knows that Shi Ziling can't be ruthless, but since he wants to dominate the world, he can't always be open to the enemy, and the Songhu Army always has someone to do this kind of thing, Ma Yu is just forced to be a villain.

In Li Yuan's army in front of Black Dragon City, many leaders of the Tongtian Sect were gathering in Li Yuan's Chinese military tent. Li Yuan had just received a flying pigeon message from Yan Zhaoguan, the hall master of the Flying Eagle Hall, Li Feicheng, saying that they had received a report from He Taizhong, the city guard of Lukang City, that the Li family's old nest, Mijing City, had been lost.

Everyone in the Tongtian Sect who heard this news was shocked, and many were deeply skeptical of the accuracy of this news.

Li Zhun said a little angrily: "This can't be a rumor deliberately released by the Xiahou family to disturb the hearts of our army, right? Obviously, there has always been information that Shiziling is on his way from the east to the north, how can he suddenly run to our old nest Mijing City......? This is too evil!"

Li Zhun's words immediately received a response from many hall masters and legion generals, and everyone couldn't believe that Mijing City would fall into the hands of Shiziling so easily.

Li Yuan said with a gloomy face: "Don't you still understand? That 'Shiziling' who rushed from the east to the north must have someone pretending, otherwise how could his journey be so slow? I have long felt that something is wrong, but unfortunately I have been busy breaking through the Yanzhao Pass and have ignored the deception. Shi Ziling must have taken advantage of the south to succeed in the sneak attack on Mijing City, this kid is so ruthless!"

"By the South?"

Li Zhun was surprised: "Big brother means that Shi Ziling and Nangong Xia have teamed up to deal with us?

Li Yuan sneered: "Nangong Xia has always been an expert in seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and he is obviously optimistic that this surprise attack on Shiziling can form a two-sided attack on us with the Xiahou family, so he will help Shiziling." Hmph, their calculations are as good as they want. ”

Li Zhun said anxiously: "If Mijing City is really taken by Shiziling, then how can it be good?"

Li Yuan said coldly: "Shi Ziling's long-distance journey is limited, it is impossible for him to stay in Mijing City for a long time, I think he must want to come north to sneak attack us, and form a flank attack on us with Xiahou Feiyang." Fortunately, we have taken the Yanzhao Pass one step ahead and avoided the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy. ”

"I have replied to Xiaoyao with the flying pigeon messenger as soon as possible, and asked him to be on full alert for Shiziling to attack Yanzhao Pass again. As long as there are no major accidents over there, after we sweep Xiahou Yuan, we can turn around and deal with Shiziling. ”

"Shi Ziling's lone army went deep into the northwest this time, in fact, it was a dangerous move, although he had Nangong Xia's help, after all, he was still alone. Unless he sees the opportunity to flee back to the east, I will let him die in a foreign land!"

Everyone was immediately relieved when they heard Li Yuan say this, and Xue Zhengyang, the hall master of Tianlong Hall, said: "What the sect leader said is true, although Shi Ziling stabbed us in the back, he will definitely pay a painful price. ”

"Their Songhu Legion doesn't have much strength in the first place, and this expedition will only have fifty or sixty thousand troops and horses at most, as long as we successfully sweep the north, we can turn around and clean up the old ghost of him and Nangong Xia. ”
