"Khan, you take a saliva."

Somewhere in the wilderness of Ankang City, a tribal cavalryman handed his water bag to the monk beside him.

The monk was not polite, took it casually, took a sip and returned it.

Reaching out and wiping a handful of water from the side of his mouth, the monk asked, "How far are we from Ankang City?" ”

The cavalryman screwed the lid of the water bag and replied, "There must be less than two hundred miles left." “

The monk nodded, and calculated the case, the distance of two hundred miles, if it is infantry, it will take two or three days at the earliest, but they are cavalry, and it is estimated that it will take a day and a half at most.

From the moment the troops gathered here, he was promoted to be the commander of the 500,000 cavalry, because their tribe was the strongest and the most trooped of all tribes, so he deserved to be the commander.

Since he set off, in order to be able to arrive as soon as possible, he has been working non-stop all the way to get here so quickly.

However, seeing that they were about to reach their destination, the monks had to consider the fatigue of the army, and the rapid march was still very tiring for the army, and the army had to be given a good rest before coming into contact with the Hungarian and Turkic forces.

After thinking for a moment, the monk immediately ordered that no matter how hard everyone worked today, it was best to compress the remaining journey into half a day, and then everyone should rest for a day before going to Ankang City.

It was naturally a joy to hear that it was possible to take a good rest, but the cavalryman was still a little worried: "But Khan, will this delay us from supporting Ankang City." If this is a mistake for the Khan, then it will be."

The monk waved his hand and said: "It's okay, if the army doesn't rest well, even if we arrive in Ankang City, we will be a tired army, don't be able to save Ankang City when the time comes, but also put ourselves in, that's a joke." ”

Hearing what the monk said, the cavalry quickly spread the news throughout the army as soon as he thought about it, and the army that learned the news immediately sped up like a chicken blood, and when it was time to camp at night, the monk was surprised to find that they were only less than thirty miles away from the city of Ankang.

When even happy let everyone start to rest in station.

At this time, Ankang City, after nearly two days of fighting, can be described as a heavy loss.

There were originally nearly 6,000 people in the city, but now there are less than 4,000 left.

The original bustling city of Nuoda is now visible to pedestrians on the streets.

Almost everyone is injured!

Day and night, these days the coalition forces are like crazy, constantly intensifying their attacks.

Even though they had thrown piles and piles of corpses under the walls, they still showed no signs of abating.

According to estimates, the Ban Dynasty estimated that there were at least 20,000 or 30,000 corpses thrown into the city by the Xiongnu these days.

Although most of them were captured and surrendered after their attack on the Western Regions.

However, their own army was also quite numerous.

Added up bits and pieces, the headquarters of the two tribes is 50,000 people, and now there are 30,000 people left, which is already remarkable.

Moreover, in the two days of fighting, the remnants of the Western Regions who were captured and forced to attack the city by them have also been consumed, and now they have begun to fill the city wall with their own people.

It is obvious that the pressure of defending the city today is extremely great!

They're really on the elite!

Li Nianan didn't have the momentum of the previous few days at this time, and the whole person took advantage of the rare gap to sit on the ground and gasp for breath.

Seeing Ban Chaohou, who was also covered in blood, and was still carrying a Pu knife that had been cut full of gaps in his hand, Li Nianan reluctantly raised a little spirit and asked:

"Haven't you found out why? Could it be that these Huns and Turks are crazy?

Where is there such a siege, they clearly want to use the number of people to pile us to death! ”

Ban Chao shook his head, "At present, our contact with the outside world has been cut off, and there is no way to receive any news.

So I don't know if there is something wrong with these Huns and Turks. ”

Ban Chao sat down beside Li Nian'an.

Li Nian'an glanced at him, thought for a while, and then said in a somewhat heavy tone: "There are less than five hundred people left with me." ”

Ban Chao gasped for breath, and it took a while to recover, and nodded: "Everyone has suffered a lot these days. ”

Li Nianan looked at the sky, it was gray and gloomy, like their current situation, and he couldn't see any hope.

After a moment of silence, Li Nianan asked, "Hasn't there been any news from the imperial court yet?" ”

Ban Chao shook his head: "All the news sent out these days has been shot down by the condor shooters outside, and we can't contact the outside at all." ”

Damn it!

Li Anan punched the ground hard, and blood flowed out of the fist instantly.

stained the ground red.

"At most tomorrow, after tomorrow, I have to find a way to lead them to break through, and all the people who are extravagant can't die here!"

Li Nian'an said in a firm tone.

This time, Ban Chao didn't refute, just nodded silently.

Indeed, it is already benevolent and righteous that people can help guard it for so long.

You can't ask someone else to leave everything in Wellness City, right?

Not long after resting, with the sound of whining horns, the battle began again.

Lifting the knife in their hands, the two stepped onto the battlefield again.

……

After a day's rest, although there was still some unfinished business, all the people of the Tatar army knew that the situation was urgent, so they did not say anything more, and immediately began to hurry in full spirits as soon as the order to set off was given.

At this time, outside Ankang City, the two sides have completely killed each other.

"Kill, !!!"

"Rush! For the sake of immortality! ”

"Brethren! Knock them down! Kill! ”

On the north gate of Ankang City, Ban Chao killed a Turk who rushed to the city one by one, and at this time, the knife in his hand, which had been fighting with him for many days, snapped into two.

Looking at the knife that was only half cut in his hand, Ban Chao gritted his teeth and was about to pick up other people's knives to continue fighting, when another Hun rushed up, and saw that his knife had been broken, and immediately rushed up with a hideous face, and slashed over with a scimitar!

Ban Chao was shocked in his heart and hurriedly retreated, but there were no two steps behind him to the city wall, and if he retreated, he would fall off the city.

At this critical moment, a Tang horizontal knife directly divided the Huns in half from behind!

Li Nianan walked over covered in blood and handed Ban Chao a good knife casually.

"Is it okay?"

The squad took the knife in one hand, stood up on it, gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay!" ”

"That's good!"

Li Nianan nodded and said, "We don't have more than two thousand people left."

According to the current offensive, we will hold on for one more day at most, and I will leave with the rest of the people in the future later, are you sure you won't go with us? ”

Shaking his head firmly, Ban Chao gritted his teeth and said:

"Lord Li, go by yourself, I am the chief official arranged by His Majesty to garrison here, this is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty Western Regions Protectorate, as long as I am alive for a day, as long as I can still wield a knife, it is absolutely impossible for me to abandon the land and escape!"

"Humph! Idiot! Whatever you want! ”

Seeing that he couldn't move him, Li Nianan didn't say anything more, turned around and continued to fight.

Ban Chao also hurried up to meet him.
