"No need. When I sent the troops, I made an oath. I will not return the throne until Lu Bu breaks his oath."
Lin Mu shook his head.
"But Your Majesty, I still have to sit in the central army to support Your Majesty."
"No, you brought all 20,000 troops here. Isn't this where the Chinese army is?"
"ah?"
Lin Mu patted Jia Xu on the shoulder, then left, and began to look for soldiers to change into Zhang Liaojun's armor.
Jia Xu was left alone, wanting to slap himself in the face.
Lin Mu glanced at Jia Xu with a sneer. Lin Mu had not guessed what the old man was thinking at first, but after making several plans, Lin Mu had already figured it out.
Every time, Lin Mu was asked to lead his troops into the enemy's nest. If he succeeded, it would be a great victory. If he lost, nothing would happen to him.
He had to find something to do for this old guy. Lin Mu waved his hand and asked Hua Xiong to come over.
"Keep an eye on this old guy, and take him with you when we rush into the city."
"Then what if he doesn't rush?"
"Then carry him and charge!"
Hua Xiong glanced at Jia Xu, who was regretting it, and then nodded.
In Huayin City, Cheng Lian and Hou Cheng looked uneasily in the direction of Tongguan in the distance.
According to reports from scouts, a fire broke out in Tongguan last night. It seems that Zhang Liao's sneak attack has succeeded.
But for some unknown reason, no one from Tongguan has come to report the situation in Tongguan until now.
Logically speaking, the fire in Tongguan must have been successful, but now the situation is strange, making both of them unsure.
At this moment, the two of them suddenly discovered that several people had run out of Tongguan.
The armor on these people was in tatters and they looked like they had fled.
But what caught their attention the most was that these people were wearing their armor.
"Quick! Bring these people up quickly."
Hou Cheng quickly ordered his soldiers to bring these years up.
Soon the deserters were brought to the city walls.
"What's going on with you? Where is General Zhang?"
The soldiers looked at each other and then said.
"I do not know."
"Ah? Then why are you here?"
"After we were brought to Tongguan by General Zhang, we set fires everywhere, but then the whole battlefield spread rumors that General Zhang was dead, so we came back."
The soldiers looked at Hou Cheng and did not dare to hide it.
"How dare you become deserters! Take them down and lock them up!"
Hou Cheng was furious after hearing this.
At this moment, another group of remnant soldiers appeared in the direction of Tongguan.
"What? General Zhang was killed, did you see his head?!"
Hou Cheng and Cheng Lian looked at the frightened remnants in front of them in shock.
"How could this happen? General Zhang is so powerful, how could he die like this in Tongguan? Hasn't Tongguan been burned down?"
Although the two of them said this, they felt a little sad in their hearts.
The battlefield is like this. Once a fight breaks out, it will be chaotic. In this case, who knows where a knife will come from, or an arrow will be fired to kill the general who was so powerful just now.
As the saying goes, an earthen jar will inevitably break in the well, and a general will inevitably die in battle.
"Let them go down and rest."
While feeling sad, he ordered his soldiers to take the group down to rest.
These people were different from the previous group of people. These people fled after seeing Zhang Liao's head.
Zhang Liao's death was not their fault, so the two did not make things difficult for these people.
At this time, another group of soldiers escaped from the direction of Tongguan, and the two people hurriedly asked people to intercept these deserters.
"General Zhang was killed by the Emperor? Or was he killed by his own hands? The Emperor was so brave? Are you General Zhang's personal soldiers?"
After hearing what these people said, the two of them were sure that Zhang Liao was dead.
"Come here, take them down to rest, don't neglect them."
It can be seen that these people have experienced bloody battles. After Zhang Liao was killed, they were able to break out of Tongguan. Not only are they elite in combat effectiveness, but they are also loyal.
After ordering the soldiers to take these people down, the two began to guard the city defense.
Now that Tongguan is broken, Huayin is the first to face the imperial army.
At first, everyone did not take the imperial army to heart, but now they regard the imperial army as a formidable enemy.
"Quickly, strengthen the city defenses and speed up patrols in the city, but someone appears from Tongguan, keep a close watch on them."
At this moment, another group of people appeared from the direction of Tongguan, and this group was quite large.
There were more than five hundred, and the leader ran away too fiercely. He was wearing a helmet, and the armor on his body was lost somewhere, and he ran towards Huayin City with his naked body.
Cheng Lian and Hou Cheng looked at each other, and there was some confusion in their eyes as to why there were so many deserters in this group.
You must know that the total number of troops Zhang Liao brought to Tongguan was only 3,000, and this group of deserters actually numbered 500.
The two noticed something was wrong with this group of deserters, but they didn't think of anything else. They were just curious about why there were so many deserters in this group.
After all, who would think that a city guarded by 20,000 people would be attacked by 500 people?
Cheng Lian and Hou Cheng asked the soldiers to invite the leader to the city wall.
After a while, the soldiers called the deserter who was leading the shirtless and naked body to the city wall.
As soon as the deserter stepped onto the city wall, Cheng Lian and Hou Chengcheng felt a fierce aura coming towards their faces.
This man's body was covered with scars, not an inch of the skin on his upper body was intact, and there was an extremely terrifying scar on his abdomen. Fortunately, the scar was very shallow, otherwise the organs in his stomach would have fallen out.
Such an injury can make people feel like a warrior just by looking at it.
The two of them admired this person the moment they saw him.
But how could such a person come back from Tongguan with so many people?
Cheng Lian stepped forward and asked.
"General, what happened in Tongguan, and what happened to you?"
This man did not salute the two of them, but just bowed his hands towards them.
"I followed General Zhang into Tongguan, and then General Zhang ordered us to seize the gate. However, as soon as we captured the gate, General Zhang Liao died in the battle. I could only fight and retreat, and withdrew from Tongguan with hundreds of people. .”
From the words of the soldiers just now, Cheng Lian and Hou Cheng already knew that Zhang Liao had sent people to seize the gate, so they admired Lin Mu even more.
The general died in battle, but he was still able to lead hundreds of people to fight and retreat in an orderly manner from the chaotic army. He was already considered a good general.
"Okay, okay! Although General Zhang failed in this trip, he is a good general because he remains calm in the face of danger. Let's go and rest first."
At this moment, a large army suddenly appeared from Tongguan. Cheng Lian, who originally wanted to send this man down to rest, could not care less at this time.
The whole Huayin quickly started to move. Cheng Lian and Hou Cheng looked at the imperial army that had arrived at the city with serious expressions.
"Two generals, don't worry, the imperial army is nothing more than this. Please allow me to fight again, general!"
