"Prime Minister Zhou, what should we do now? Will we continue to attack the city?" the general asked from the side.
"The two northeastern gates continue to feign attack. The west gate sends half of its troops to the south gate to keep an eye on the Beiyi soldiers and horses in the city. The soldiers at the south gate must block this wave of reinforcements!" Zhou Ziru seemed to have expected it and ordered in an orderly manner.
The general went away after receiving the order and ordered the herald to pass the order to the other three gates.
Following Zhou Ziru's order, the Yulin army at the south gate turned their guns and turned around to resist the less than 10,000 Beiyi soldiers brought by Hu Yanluo behind them.
On the top of the city, although Hu Yanlan had never personally defended the city, he was tired after issuing military orders one after another. At this time, he held the water bottle and took a swig.
"Lord Huyan, it looks like our people are over there!" A guard on the city wall pointed to the distance and said to Huyanlan.
Upon hearing this, Hu Yanlan choked on a mouthful of water, coughed twice violently, and squinted her eyes: "Yes! It's General Hu Yan who is back!"
"Master Huyan, what should we do now?" The guard general was in trouble. The Northern Yi soldiers in the city were already having difficulty defending the city. How to deal with it?
The joy on Hu Yanlan's face was solidified. Even though he was resourceful and resourceful, it was hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. What could he do without soldiers?
Hu Yanlan sighed: "If the tens of thousands of people from the secret wooden horse were here..."
I received news a few days ago that Mimu Ma led his troops to cross the river. As a result, the camp on the west bank was captured. Mi Muma did not dare to cross the river and retreat. Instead, he led his troops privately to the north and returned to the Beiyi Grassland.
The guard sighed: "General Mimuma is a member of Lord Qi Wukuoxie, and the soldiers and horses he leads are all members of the Chongling tribe. Naturally, he wants to preserve his strength..."
"Now in the city..."
"Everyone in the city is from the Huyan tribe, don't worry, sir!" The guard is also from the Huyan tribe. Since Huyantuo's death, the following Huyan tribe soldiers have directly taken orders from Huyanlan and Huyanluo.
Hu Yanlan looked at the Beiyi forwards who were already fighting with the Yulin army outside the city. She was extremely confused and didn't know what to do.
The guard on the side knew Hu Yanlan's embarrassing identity. If Hu Yanluo died outside the city, and everyone in the Huyan tribe knew... they would only think that Hu Yanlan killed the two of them. How could a married woman control the whole situation? Huyan tribe?
At the critical moment, the guard of the Huyan tribe decided to remain silent and say nothing.
After waiting for a long time, Hu Yanlan clasped the wall tiles with both hands and said in a deep voice: "Let's take a look first..."
On the battlefield, a group of generals surrounded Hu Yanluo and protected him: "What's going on? Where did these many soldiers and horses come from?"
"These are not the soldiers and horses of San Francisco, but the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains!"
"Zhou! It's the Zhou family from the imperial court. Damn it, it's the Zhou family again!"
The people of Beiyi hated the Zhou family far more than the three feudal lords. Over the past hundreds of years, when the victory was about to be won several times, or when victory was certain, the Zhou family from the Central Plains would always lead their troops to turn the tide.
No matter which tribe in Beiyi, people's lives are in the hands of the Zhou family. In the past decade or so, the fighting between Daqi and Beiyi has gradually become less frequent, and many people have almost forgotten about the Zhou family in the capital.
"I wonder if there is anything going on in the city. General Huyan, follow us closely. We will fight our way out and escort you into the city!"
Now that they have met and the city is right in front of them, there is absolutely no reason to turn around and run away.
The Beiyi generals fought tooth and nail, and even led the lame Hu Yanluo a long way into the Yulin army's formation.
"You go, be sure to leave Hu Yanluo outside the city!" Zhou Ziru became angry when he saw how brave the other party was.
He originally thought that it would be great if the Eight Sons of Yin and Yang could capture him alive, and use his life in exchange for the Beiyi troops to retreat and take back Fengcheng.
Zhou Ziru also knew the situation of the Huyan tribe quite well. Huyantuo was dead, and his head fell off after drying on the city wall and shattered into dust on the ground. Now the tribe leader can only be Huyanluo. If Huyanlan is not replaced, the Huyan tribe will be in chaos!
However, Hu Yanluo actually escaped back with the remaining soldiers, but this was also within Zhou Ziru's expectation. It would be too difficult for them to rely solely on the Eight Sons of Yin and Yang to face thousands of troops.
In Zhou Ziru's expectation, if Hu Yanluo fled to the city, he would be kept outside the city at all costs! If anyone in the city dares to open the door to come to the rescue, they can take advantage of the situation and capture Fengcheng!
It's just that the combat power of the Beiyi soldiers and horses is indeed beyond imagination. If they are just defending the city, they can't see much. Unexpectedly, in this outdoor infantry battle, each of the Beiyi soldiers was more brave than the last, and the Yulin army was defeated steadily.
"Why are you still standing here? Why don't you hurry up and capture him!" Zhou Ziru looked at the group of generals surrounding him, feeling a little annoyed.
"Prime Minister Zhou...but..." No one dared to leave easily. If Zhou Ziru had any shortcomings, His Majesty would definitely destroy all three of their clans!
"Go quickly! Cough cough cough..." Zhou Ziru shouted angrily, startling everyone. No one had ever seen Zhou Ziru in such an angry state. No one was delaying, and they all stepped forward to fight.
On the Yulin Army's side, after a group of generals joined in, they finally stopped the Beiyi Army's mad advance. Moreover, they went too deep, and the sergeants of Yulin had already surrounded them from behind.
The situation between Hu Yanluo and the Beiyi soldiers was even more dangerous than before.
"Lord Huyan, General Huyan...are surrounded." The Beiyi guard general in Fengcheng also saw that Huyanluo was in danger, so he had to warn him carefully.
Hu Yanlan's hands made white seals on the wall tiles. He knew exactly what it would mean if he left the city now.
But if Hu Yanluo died here...
"Assemble all the soldiers and horses in the city, leave the city from the west gate, and meet General Huyan..." Huyanlan struggled for a while, but decided to save Huyanluo.
Although Fengcheng is a rare place to grab it, if Huyanluo dies here, the Huyan tribe will inevitably fight among themselves! At that time, it will be difficult to compete with the other three major families, and I will have no backing.
After the general left, Hu Yanlan looked at the huge flag with the word "Zhou" in it, and secretly said a few words through her teeth: "Keep the green hills here, don't worry about not having firewood!"
The attention of Zhou Ziru and all the Yulin troops were on Hu Yanluo, so naturally no one would notice that the number of people on the city wall was gradually sparse. Even if soldiers occasionally noticed it, their words would be "hard to reach the heavens."
The Beiyi soldiers in the city quickly gathered at the west gate. Although the less than 10,000 Yulin troops outside the city were on guard, they were also paying attention to the south gate.
Everyone is waiting for Zhou Ziru's orders to come and support at any time.
The city gate suddenly opened wide. When the first Yu Lin Army found out, his body had already been separated. Before he could fall down, the body standing on the ground was knocked away by Bei Yi's majestic war horse and smashed into a pile of fellow soldiers. inside.
"The Beiyi soldiers are leaving the city! Everyone, hold on!"
One was unintentional and the other was well prepared. Moreover, in a field battle outside the city, how could the Yulin army stop the iron hooves of Beiyi's war horses in the first confrontation?
Almost in the blink of an eye, a military formation of hundreds of people was trampled to the ground, leaving very few survivors.
Soon, someone discovered that the target of the Beiyi soldiers was not them. As soon as they broke through a military formation of hundreds of people, they turned their horses and headed south. Obviously, they were going to meet the Beiyi army outside the city.
"Stop! We must stop them!" The general who commanded the Xicheng Yulin Army shouted with a gun, but with little effect.
How can two legs outrun four?
In just one stick of incense, the Beiyi soldiers who rushed out of the city had already disappeared, and no one wanted to fight.
"General, Beiyi's horse...can't stop it at all..." The soldiers were really helpless. Who dared to stop the horse from galloping? The military formation of hundreds of people had been trampled to pieces.
This Yulin Army general was angry, so he sneaked out of the city and rode away on horseback, unable to catch up. It was not like the reckless and belligerent Beiyi soldiers at all!
However, the matter has come to this, and there is no point in being angry.
When several scouts saw the city gate open, they braved it and walked together. They went to inquire about it and rode back happily.
"General, the west city gate is open, and there is no one guarding the city!"
"Oh?" The general was overjoyed when he heard this. The death of hundreds of men is not a big deal, it is just a small defeat, but if Fengcheng can be recaptured...
That is a huge achievement!
"Leave a thousand men and horses, collect the corpses, and rescue the brothers. The rest, follow me into the city!" The general took the lead and rushed into the city.
This is the moment to leave your name in history!
At the same time, the Yulin Army at the North Gate and East Gate also noticed that the Beiyi Army's defense was gradually weakening, and rushed into the city almost at the same time as the West Gate.
The Beiyi Army captured Fengcheng, but within a month, it was recaptured by Daqi!
The number of Beiyi troops who escaped from Fengcheng was less than ten thousand, and they lost countless flags and weapons in the rush.
Fortunately, the war horses were fine. Almost everyone in Beiyi made a living on horseback and loved horses as much as their lives.
Hu Yanlan was also wearing armor and was among the soldiers and horses.
In a short time, the troops arrived at Nancheng, and they saw the surrounded Beiyi soldiers from afar. They fought fiercely, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
After rushing out of the city, after a short delay, the Beiyi soldiers around Hu Yanluo were strangled by the Yulin army. There were no more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and they were even falling one after another.
"Brother Luo, hold on!" Hu Yanlan was anxious and couldn't help shouting, trying to distract the Yulin army.
"Brother-in-law...Brother-in-law is here to save me...Brother-in-law!" Hu Yanluo's foot was trampled by a war horse before, and he didn't even cry out for pain. He just shouted for the horse.
Now when he saw the thin brother-in-law leading the defeated soldiers to save him, he couldn't help but curl his lips and was about to cry out in pain.
"I am one of the four mastiffs of Beiyi. The wise dog Huyanlan wants to take my head!"
Hu Yanlan didn't know when a big knife appeared in his hand, but the knife was so heavy that he couldn't even lift it with both hands, so he had to hold the knife in his arms.
As for the reins of the war horse...I don't care...
Hu Yanluo raised the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Warriors of the Huyan tribe, listen! My position as the leader of the Huyan tribe is officially passed on to Huyanlan today! From today on, Huyanlan is the leader of the Huyan tribe!"
"Disrespect the elders of the tribe! Expelled from the tribe and never accepted!"
An arrow flew through the air and hit Hu Yanluo's throat. No one knew if he had anything to say next...
"Luodi!" Hu Yanlan's eyes widened in shock.
Although he also covets the position of the leader of the Huyan tribe, Hu Yanluo is the only one who really respects him in the Huyan tribe for so many years. It would be a lie to say he has no feelings...
Hu Yan was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse. The surrounding Beiyi soldiers were stunned by this sudden change. In this stunned moment, the Yu Lin army from all directions took action, and more than a thousand people did not resist for long, and they were all killed.
"Chief Huyan, let's go quickly!" The guard in the city followed all the way here. Hearing Hu Yanluo's last words, he immediately changed his title.
"Get Hu Yanlan!" Seeing that Hu Yanluo was the only one left, Zhou Ziru immediately took aim at Hu Yanlan.
Hu Yanlan regained clarity in her eyes, turned her horse around, and rode away without looking back.
