Changshiro, who entered the city, looked up at the sky full of smoke, his face became extremely heavy.
Behind him, the 30,000-strong army was full of morale, with a look of desolation on their faces, wielding halberds and armor, and stepped into Hezhou City with deep steps.
"General, the King of Yuzhou is leading troops to help!"
Lian Yong, who was fighting at the top of the city, was overjoyed when he heard this sentence.
Behind him, all the soldiers on guard were almost exhausted. If there were no accidents, under such a fierce offensive from Beidi, they would not be able to survive for three days.
"Welcome the King of Yuzhou to save the country!"
The wounded and civilians all looked excited and shouted angrily. Only the defenders at the top of the city still did not relax at all, and did not dare to retreat even half a step.
"It's hard work, General Lian."
Just looking up, Tsuneshiro couldn't help but sigh. In front of him, veteran Lian Yong's eyes were clearly bloodshot.
The defenders were all covered in blood.
"Black-armored army, change defense!"
With an order, thousands of Yuzhou black armors, carrying swords and bows on their backs and holding long halberds, quickly rushed to the top of the city.
"Old General Lian, Commander-in-Chief, please go and rest." Chang Shiro said as he seemed to remember something.
"Where is Xiaodong's family? Didn't he really die in the battle?"
"General Xu is outside the city... luring Di Gou's enemy cavalry for us."
"It's such a big deal." Changshiro frowned, dispersed the smoke in front of his eyes, and looked up at the city gate.
Sure enough, his old friend was being chased and killed by countless Di people. There was also his Xiao Chang Qiang, his body was covered in blood, and there was a scimitar hanging on his shoulder.
"I'm your father!" Chang Silang's eyes were about to split.
"King of Yuzhou, something is wrong. Look at Di Ma'er over there, he seems to be in a mess." Yu Wen, standing by, added hastily.
Changshiro paused, then looked up again. In an instant, he fell into deep thought.
…
"General Xu, those Di horses who are chasing us are in chaos!"
As Xu Mu was plundering and killing all the way, it was extremely difficult, and the iron gun in his hand became stained with blood. Hearing General Pi's words, he turned his head hastily.
Sure enough, the tens of thousands of enemy cavalry who were supposed to intercept and kill suddenly became confused.
"Don't worry, rush out first."
Exhaling a breath, Xu Mu led the last three thousand people and fought their way out of the siege with difficulty. Fortunately, at this moment, those Beidi horses suddenly stopped chasing them, as if they were afraid of something.
"Little boss, I, my young master is here!" Just after leaving the siege, Xu Mu's face suddenly froze when he heard this sentence.
On the top of the city, a familiar figure, wearing a suit of armor, kept waving at him.
"Uncle Chang, you're stupid!" Xu Mu raised his head, his voice was like thunder, and his tone couldn't stop being happy.
Not only seeing old friends again, but once Chang Shiro arrives, the defense of the entire Hezhou will become stronger.
This young champion of the Epoch Times is not as simple as it seems. To be fair, if you can be a lifelong friend with the young Marquis, how can you be an ordinary person.
…
"Who is that?" Tuoba Zhao said with a cold face. Hezhou City had been unable to be attacked for a long time, but now, another batch of reinforcements had arrived.
In the past, Daji's borders were made of tofu. But what's going on now. Every one of them is a righteous man who dares to die.
"King Khan, this is Chang Xiaotang, the king of Yuzhou." Zhao Qingyun, who had rushed back, just opened his mouth and was hit with another whip.
"Very powerful?"
"Like, like the country's surname is Hou."
Tuoba Zhao closed his eyes, this name was too familiar to him. If it weren't for this name, Beidi would have already broken through the border and occupied the Central Plains a few years ago.
"The Central Plains dynasty is in chaos. What do these people want to do? I, the people of Saibei Grassland, are the descendants of the eagle. Could it be that I cannot be the lord of the Central Plains?"
"King Khan, don't worry, the Beidi people will definitely dominate the entire Central Plains."
"Shut up, one ear."
Tuoba Zhao took a deep breath and looked coldly at the towering city gate in front of him. For the first time, I felt a sense of powerlessness in my heart.
What he fears is not the city walls of Hezhou, but the walls of those righteous men from the Central Plains.
"Continue to attack the city——"
Without calling for gold to withdraw the troops, Tuoba Zhao roared an order. If you retreat at this time, there will be no better opportunity.
The dense phalanx suddenly came on the march again. One after another, the siege equipment also began to move forward.
"Black-armored army, beat Digou to pieces for me!" Chang Shiro was not to be outdone. It's a pity that because of the urgent march, many of the baggage behind were far from entering the city.
"Beng Xian!"
A rain of arrows filled the sky, falling from the top of the city. On the muddy ground in front of the moat, layers of broken arrows were laid down. Countless Di people, those who were not shot to death, staggered away from the range of the flying arrows, holding on to their leather shields.
"Push the eight oxen crossbow!"
Four or five heavy crossbows, after loading the crossbow bolts, continued to shoot towards the approaching siege equipment.
Two or three carriages with well railings collapsed in response.
"Raise the bamboo shield!"
"Firebolt!"
"The Hongyun tribe is shooting at the city gate with fire arrows." Tuoba Zhao looked at the general at the city gate with cold eyes.
"Group three people to form a shield column."
outside the city.
Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the dim sky.
"Still pursuing you!" Si Hu dragged his double-edged ax and hacked away a group of Di people who were charging towards him.
At this time, in front of them, there were densely packed corpses.
Xu Mu certainly wanted to return to Hezhou City. It's a pity that King Zuo Khan obviously blocked his way back.
There were only about three thousand cavalry left.
"General Xu, that King Zuohan sent people to block the road. I can't go back."
Xu Mu gritted his teeth and looked around. There is no way to retreat. If you continue to stay, you may be killed here.
With Changshiro garrisoned in Hezhou City, there should be no problem in a short time.
"King Zuohan ordered the Golden Arrow to kill Xu Shepherd, make him a Marquis, and grant him five hundred slaves and three thousand cattle and sheep each!"
Under the night, more and more Di Qi came from all directions.
Although I don’t know what this Golden Arrow Token is. But Xu Mu guessed that it should be the kind of lavish reward that can lead to the title of marquis and prime minister.
Xu Mu raised his head and glanced at Hezhou City, which was just around the corner.
Changshiro was still bloody in command, and the whole city was filled with the sound of flying arrows and swords and guns.
"Walk."
Xu Mu made a prompt decision and led about three thousand cavalry troops to avoid the pursuing enemy troops and rush in the opposite direction to Hezhou.
"My dear boss, get around the pursuers first!" Chang Shiro's voice sounded urgently on top of the city wall.
…
"General Xu, which way should I go?"
Xu Mu exhaled a breath. This golden arrow order from King Zuo Khan is really going to chase them to death.
The road back to Hezhou is already blocked. Moreover, in such a tight war situation, it was actually a stupid thing to ask Tsuneshiro to open the city gate to welcome him.
"General Xu, Di Gou is here to kill him again. He is only about ten miles away."
"Protect General Xu!" The cavalry soldiers surrounding Xu Mu drew their swords and roared.
Xu Mu took advantage of his face and quickly calmed down.
Now, there were only two choices before him. One is to get rid of this wave of pursuing troops, find a hiding place near Hezhou, take nearly 3,000 cavalry, hide like dogs, and wait until the war in Hezhou is over.
Of course, if Hezhou falls, he will also be trapped at the border until he is discovered and killed.
Second, run all the way through Wangzhou, then find a way to go north, go around to Yanzhou, and then return to the inner city. The king of Yanzhou, who was poor and ugly, was also from the Central Plains. No matter how bad things happened, he would let Kaicheng pass.
Yanzhou, thousands of miles away from the border, is in the northeast, cold and barren, and guarded by natural dangers. The Fengxue Pass outside the city can be called the most powerful pass in the world.
In the early years, the Beidi people thought of attacking Yanzhou, but before they even started to attack Yanzhou, 30,000 of the 100,000-strong army froze to death, and they had to retreat in dismay.
"General Xu, the dry food is at the bottom."
Xu Mu frowned again.
Three thousand riders, what can he do? If you turn around and charge, there is a high probability that everyone will die. If we continue to rush forward, we will reach Wangzhou, Yongguan, and the four thousand miles of Saibei prairie behind Yongguan.
Why didn't he want to imitate the champion Hou Huo Qubing and go straight to the Beidi Royal Court? But this kind of thing requires too many success factors, and it is no longer replicable.
Stretching out his hand, Xu Mu firmly touched it into his arms. He had always carried the grassland map that Gongu had touched.
For more than a year, he has been begging for his life. Every step he takes, he will see blood and risk his life to survive.
Gritting his teeth, Xu Mu turned his head and took one last distant look at Hezhou City. Smoke filled the sky, and fighting continued.
He suddenly understood that no matter what he did next, the ultimate goal was to preserve the vast mountains and rivers of the Central Plains.
"Everyone—"
"Run towards Wangzhou! Tell those Di dogs that my three thousand riders from the Central Plains are going to enter the grassland and stab the royal court in the grassland to pieces!"
"Ladies, this time I will seal the wolf as a slave!"
Without really understanding what was going on, the figures of nearly three thousand riders roared angrily, followed closely behind Xu Mu, and galloped forward with their horses, kicking up dust all over the sky.
