Chapter 21: The War

As the morning sun rose, Chu Yan packed up his dry food, glanced at his house, suppressed a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, and prepared to set off to find the unknown Immortal Sect.

As soon as he walked out of the house, Chu Yan saw a carriage carrying a fat body, rushing towards him.

"Chu Yan, Brother Chu, don't be in a hurry to leave." Li Feng didn't arrive, and the sound came first, looking at his face, it seemed that he was in a hurry.

Chu Yan didn't leave in a hurry, but asked calmly, "What's the matter with Taishou?" ”

"Whew!" Li Feng jumped out of the carriage and took a long breath, calmed down, and then pulled Chu Yan's arm and said, "Brother Chu, you can't go, something happened." ”

"Huh?" Chu Yan looked suspicious: "Taishou, you say slowly, what's wrong!" "He spent a day yesterday cleaning up the entire Anping neighborhood bandits, and he really can't think of anything else that can happen to the current Anping County Town.

"Something is wrong." Li Feng took out a military report: "Just now, the border pass Xincheng urgently reported, the Great Zhou State suddenly sent troops to attack yesterday, and now the border pass will not be broken for a long time, and the Great Zhou army will come to the city of Anping County, Brother Chu, you can't abandon the people in the city at this time." ”

"What?" Chu Yan took the military report and took a closer look, the situation is really as Li Feng said, the Great Zhou army suddenly marched into the three border cities yesterday, and now its troops are less than a hundred miles away from the county seat of Anping.

"I'm not leaving! Taishou quickly summoned the generals in the city to discuss the matter. ”

Chu Yan responded, although Li Feng was slack and profitable for himself, he still trusted him, and his treatment was good, and more importantly, his family and country were in trouble and his husband was responsible, he couldn't leave, how innocent the people of Anping County were, he couldn't ruthlessly watch his hometown city destroy and die, and wail everywhere.

"Good, good!" Li Feng was overjoyed, Chu Yan was quite prestigious in the army, and the probability of him guarding this city would be much greater: "Brother Chu, please sit down, I have gathered the generals in the city." ”

"Well, let's go!"

……

The carriage galloped all the way, and soon arrived at the city lord's mansion, at this moment, there were many armor soldiers in the mansion, and in the living room, there were also several men in armor pacing back and forth with solemn expressions.

"Chu is up!"

As soon as he heard this, several men in armor immediately greeted him, and said with a happy face: "I'll ride it when I see it!" ”

"You're welcome, please take a seat."

"Brother Chu, please take a seat!" Li Feng pulled Chu Yan to sit beside him, and then said, "Brother Chu, everyone has arrived, even if you make arrangements, I will listen to you." "He is also very self-aware, he can be a furnishing to manage the internal affairs of the city, and it is Chu Yan who leads the troops in a war.

"Then it's too guarded, and I'll trespass!"

After being polite, Chu Yan saw the middle-aged man with a face on the second seat and said, "General Pang, can you find out the movement of the Zhou army?" ”

Da Da Younai is a general in the barracks in the city, and he usually handles matters in the army, and when he heard Chu Yan's question, he immediately got up and said, "Go back to the capital to ride, I will send someone to find out." ”

He took out a map and said: "The Zhou army has about 100,000 people in this march, and the follow-up is still increasing troops, as if there is a blow to annex my big business, and now the incident is sudden, the imperial army is still on the way, and the Zhou army has reached the Yanqing Pass, less than 100 miles away from the county seat of Anping." ”

"One hundred thousand!" Chu Yan frowned slightly, Anping County is not the main border fortress, and it will be able to make up 2,000 troops if it is fully calculated, although this place will not become the key target of the Zhou army, but a 10,000-strong division will definitely not be able to hide.

"General Pang, you immediately return to the camp to reorganize the soldiers and horses, prepare the city defense equipment, and close the four gates and the whole city to be on guard, in case the Zhou army suddenly arrives."

"Yes, the last general commands!"

"General Zhang, you lead a hundred sergeants to patrol the city, in case the people's hearts are unstable and there are small people who take the opportunity to make trouble."

"Yes!"

"General Li, you lead a hundred sergeants to the city to take the lead in preparing grain and grass, and be prepared."

"The last general understands!"

……

After some orders, the generals took the orders and left, Li Feng also showed a smile, Chu Yan's arrangements were comprehensive, which made him a little more confident in defending the city this time.

"Taishou, I'll go to the city wall first!"

"Okay, I'll go with you!" Li Feng hurriedly got up.

"Please!"

The two came to the city wall, although Anping County is not a big business town, but in the end it is a border city, the city wall is still relatively powerful, and the steel and rock fortifications are full of defense.

Touching the yellowed city wall, a trace of worry flashed in Chu Yan's eyes, he turned his head to see Li Feng and said: "Taishou, Xincheng is an important border town of the imperial court, and the soldiers are brave, how could it be so quickly broken by the Great Zhou army?" ”

Li Feng shook his head: "I don't know, the information in the military report is too brief, maybe there was an accident at the border gate!" ”

"Perhaps, I don't know when the imperial army will arrive."

……

In the Great Zhou military camp, a heroic golden-armored man sat on a large throne with a happy face, this person was Zhou Tao, the commander of the Zhou army, and there was a young man wearing a moon-white robe beside him.

"The immortal master's shot is really powerful, and the Dashang army is like a chicken and a dog, retreating thousands of miles."

"Haha, with the help of immortal masters in this battle, the flat-bottomed Great Zhou is just around the corner."

There was jubilation in the barracks, but the man who was called the Immortal Master next to him was not much happy, he drank a cup and said lightly: "The Dashang royal family also has the protection of the sect, I believe that it won't be long before I can make a move, and the future war will have to rely on you." ”

"I will understand that now that the border pass of Dashang has been broken, and then our army commander will drive straight in, they will definitely not have the strength to fight back." A hint of pride appeared on Zhou Tao's face, and then he said coldly: "Zhou Ping listened to the order and ordered you to lead 10,000 troops to take Anping County, Luotian, and Dingxia County in the west. ”

"The last will be ordered!"

"Well, I'll send a disciple to help you!" But it was the immortal master who spoke.

"So, thank you Immortal Master." Zhou Ping was overjoyed, with the help of immortals, he didn't have to waste any strength.

……

In the evening, the setting sun shone obliquely on the Anping city wall, shining on Chu Yan's resolute face, and the Anping city wall behind him was lined with armor, rolling wood, stones, and sandbags.

"All ride, I'm afraid Zhou Jun won't come today!" The huge friend on the side looked into the distance and said.

"Not necessarily! I'm afraid it's already here. ”

Chu Yan's eyes were like torches, his tempered ears and eyes were ten times better than ordinary people, and at this moment he had already heard the sound of horses' hooves several miles away.

"Don't make fun of me, I sent a sentry horseman, if there is an enemy, they will come back to report a long time ago." Dayou's expression was relaxed, he simply thought that Chu Yan was joking.

"Order, so the soldiers are on alert."

Chu Yan gave an order and let Dang Youyou know that he was not joking.

Under the gaze of everyone, a black line slowly appeared on the plain in the distance, and the huge friends stared at it carefully, the inky black armor and the fiery red banner all showed the identity of its Zhou army.

"Zhou Jun is really here? What about the Sentinels? Why didn't the Sentinel report it? "Da Youyou was stunned, but he had sent out a sentry two hours ago, how could he not have a little confidence to pass it back.

Chu Yan stared at a figure in the Great Zhou army, and said coldly: "This battle is really not ordinary. ”
