Chapter 88: Call for help

Looking at the guards who entered the city lord's mansion, Qianyi let go of the heart that had been in his throat and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The guards walked into Yan Pu's study and bowed to Yan Pu and fell to the ground, "Lord Yan Pu, General Yang Song of Xicheng has sent a messenger to come. ”

Hearing this, Yan Pu put down the military book in his hand, looked at the guards, and said slowly, "The person sent by Yang Song? Could it be that something is wrong with Xicheng? ”

"Quick, call him in!"

Yan Pu hurriedly stood up and said to the guard, and in a short time, the guard brought Qianyi to Yan Pu.

"The last general has seen Lord Yanpu."

"Don't fix all this nonsense, tell me quickly, what's wrong with Yang Song, what are you sending you to me for?"

Yan Pu, who was anxious, said to Qianyi, his brows full of anxiety.

"Back to my lordship, Xicheng is in an emergency, and General Yang Song sent his subordinates to ask for help, hoping that my lord will quickly support Xicheng."

Hearing this, Yan Pu's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Qianyi and hurriedly said, "What is the situation in Xicheng now?" ”

"Xiliang Zhaoyun has exhausted the Wudu, and the soldiers of the two counties of Tianshui have surrounded Xicheng, and our army has lost 3,000 people."

Qian Yi deliberately pretended to be grief-stricken and said to Yan Pu, with anxiety between his eyebrows.

"I know, come on, quickly go to the three thousand army, and go with this brother to support Xicheng!"

Yan Pu directly summoned his own personal soldier commander and instructed him, and the personal guard commander hurriedly left the city lord's mansion, mounted his horse and went to the military camp with Yan Pu's tiger talisman.

"Brother, this tomb also needs to be defended by troops, and 3,000 troops is already the limit of the reinforcements I can send."

"My subordinates understand, thank you for being willing to save my Xicheng!"

Qianyi fell to the ground with a tearful look in front of Yan Pu, Yan Pu sighed and stepped forward to help Qianyi, "Go and rest and rest, you will go back with reinforcements in a while." ”

……

When there was still half an hour left, Qianyi led 3,000 troops out of the west gate of Fangling County, and when he was about to leave the city gate, Qianyi gave a look to the centurion guarding the door, and the centurion nodded.

At nightfall, the centurion at the west gate had already stood on top of the gate with his five fellows and the thousand-year-old, glancing at each other.

"Rank, the time has come, it's time!"

"I hope you won't break your promise and promise us that we won't lose a cent of our follow-up money!"

"Don't worry, my lord, General Pingxi, will not treat you badly."

The soldier ant said to a few people, and then took out six gold bars and distributed them to a few people, who looked at the gold bars and nodded with satisfaction.

The next moment, dozens of torches were lit on the top of the city, and the candidates who were already strong in the army not far away saw the firelight, and immediately said loudly to the soldiers, "Everyone obey the order!" Burn the wind! ”

After speaking, he took the lead in rushing out of the horse, taking Jiang Xu and the second general Zhang Liao to the city, the city gate had already been opened, waiting for the arrival of the candidate army.

Looking at the oncoming candidate, the centurion hurriedly greeted him and bowed to the candidate.

"General Candidate, the 1,000 defenders of the West Gate are all here, and the rest of the city gates also have 1,000 defenders each, in addition to a thousand guards stationed near the City Lord's Mansion."

"Ben will know, thank you for your help, if you take this Fang Ling City this time, the first credit will be yours."

"Thank you, General, I will lead these thousand brothers to surround the City Lord's Mansion first, in case Yan Pu escapes."

"Go ahead!"

The centurion bowed to Hou Xuan, then left the city gate with a thousand Han sergeants, and handed over the city gate to Hou Xuan's 1,000 soldiers, Hou Xuan looked at the departing Han sergeants, turned to Zhang Liao and Jiang Xu and said, "Wen Yuan, Bo Yi, you two each lead three thousand troops to attack the remaining three city gates. ”

"Good!"

"Good!"

Jiang Xu and Zhang Liao each galloped in different directions with 3,000 troops, while Hou Xuan quickly went to the City Lord's Mansion with 3,000 troops.

At this time, outside the city lord's mansion, Yan Pu was leading a thousand guards who came to fight with a thousand Hanzhong troops defending the city brought by the soldier ant centurion, but Yan Pu's side occupied an absolute advantage, and for a time the thousand defenders lost more than 100 soldiers.

Hou Xuan arrived late with the army, and from a distance, he saw Yan Pu who was protected by a group of guards, and he slowly raised his long knife in the direction of Yan Pu.

"Give it to me! Surround this group of remnants of the defeated army! ”

3,000 Pingxi troops bravely went up and directly surrounded the 1,000 Yan Pu's personal guards, and cooperated with more than 900 defenders to slowly strangle a group of Yan Pu's personal guards.

The candidate directly brandished the long knife, gave up his mount, and entered the melee warband.

The wielded long knife continued to harvest the life of a famous Yan Pu guard, and where it passed, a corpse slowly fell to the ground, mixed with the previous pool of blood.

One corpse fell to the ground weakly, the blood that slowly flowed out gathered into a blood-colored stream, and the air outside the entire city lord's mansion was filled with a layer of blood mist, and the surrounding air exuded a fishy smell.

Yan Pu looked at the corpse on the ground, his legs became weak, and the whole person collapsed directly to the ground, at this time, Yan Pu's thousand personal guards had already turned into corpses and fell to the ground, and the candidate whose whole body was dyed red with blood was like a blood-bathing demon god, and walked towards Yan Pu step by step.

The long knife in his hand kept dripping with blood, dripping to the ground with the footsteps of the candidate.

"Die, or fall!"

With a roar from the candidate, Yan Pu fell to his knees tremblingly and said tremblingly, "So-and-so...... Surrender! ”

At this point, the entire territory of Hanzhong County has been occupied by Zhao Yun's Pingxi army, and only more than 10,000 Hanzhong troops of Zhang Lu are still outside Nanzheng City at this time.

At this time, outside the city of Nanzheng, there were already piles of corpses of Han sergeants, and the entire city wall was covered with countless scratches, and there were some arrows scattered on the wall.

Zhang Lu looked at Li Yan and Zhang Xun on the city wall in embarrassment, it was these two people who had blocked the footsteps of his 20,000 army with 4,000 old and weak soldiers and 4,000 soldiers these days, and left the lives of more than 4,000 soldiers under the city.

Just as Zhang Lu and Yang Ren were about to discuss the retreat, a soldier covered in broken clothes and armor slowly walked into the big tent with the support of several personal guards, knelt down at Zhang Lu and cried bitterly, "Sect Master, Sect Master, Xicheng and Fangling have been breached, General Yang Song has been killed, and Mr. Yan Pu has been captured!" ”

"What !?"

This sudden news made Zhang Lu "boom", and the whole person fainted directly.
