Chapter 968: Finally back

The sound of alarm bells rang out along the towers of the city, and in a short period of time, it spread throughout the county. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThe county town, which was still noisy just now, fell into silence in an instant, and at this moment, everyone was stunned. After the initial fear of war, as the good news came one after another, the people of Yuquan once thought that war was far away from them. But the sound of the alarm bell at this moment is to shatter their luck.

After a moment of silence, with a bang, the entire city seemed to be a huge beehive punctured by an external force, and countless people roared and rushed to their homes.

The entire Yuquan County is in chaos.

On the city wall, Pang Jun's face was pale. Although he could not see any trace of the enemy, he only had to listen to the sound of the horse's hooves knocking on the ground, and with his rich experience, he could tell how many enemies there were.

At the very least, there will be no less than 5,000 cavalry approaching the county town of Yuquan.

But this should be the vanguard of the enemy, and the main force with 5,000 cavalry as the vanguard is naturally very clear about what size the Pang army is.

"General Pang, what should I do?" Chen Du's face was snow-white, his fists were clenched tightly, and his body trembled slightly. To be honest, if it weren't for Pang Jun here, he would have wanted to get off the city wall immediately, climb on his horse and escape with his guards.

I've never eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run! Hearing the sound of the horse's hooves rumbling like thunder, Chen Du suddenly felt how unrealistic the idea he had thought about for a few days earlier.

"What else can I do? Get ready for battle! Pang Jun glanced at Chen Du and knew that this county guard must have been frightened.

"Can you stand it?"

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven!" Pang Jun didn't want to tell a lie, he turned his head to look at the city wall, the city was very chaotic, some soldiers pounced on the city wall, some were carrying feather arrows, rolling wood, rolling stones, and some started a fire above the city head and began to boil water, which was all prepared for the defense of the city. But there were also soldiers, like headless flies, howling in panic and running around.

A few panicked soldiers actually ran in front of them, Pang Jun didn't think twice, brandished his scabbard, and knocked these soldiers to the ground, and then choked, pulled out his knife, and shouted: "Those who do not obey military orders will be killed!" ā€

His roar calmed down the soldiers on the city wall a little, and the little military discipline that Pang Jun had trained with all his might in the past month had finally achieved some results, which made him feel a little comforted.

Looking down at the soldiers lying at his feet, a look of disgust flashed in Pang Jun's eyes, it was really mud that couldn't support the wall, if it was in the troops of the Eastern Border Army, such a soldier appeared, whether it was the officer, the first reaction was to draw a knife and cut it.

But here, he knew no, if there was no war, he would cut them down, but he was afraid that the morale would not be high, but would be even more sluggish, after all, these people were not really an army.

The slightly decent one is the county soldier.

It's a pity that more than 100,000 eastern border troops were buried in Luzhou like this, if there were border troops under his command, even if there were only one or two thousand people, Pang Jun felt that he could hold Yuquan County, but now, he only had ten people, and what he had to rely on could only be these wastes in his eyes.

Pang Jun felt that it would not be long before he would be reunited with those brothers who had died.

"County guard, I am guarding the city, please go and pacify the city!" Pang Jun arched his hand at Chen Du, and he could see that Chen Du was very scared.

"That's good, that's good, the city depends on the general." Chen Du nodded again and again.

"If you can't stand it here, the county guard can go by himself." Pang Jun suddenly lowered his voice and said to Chen Du. Coming to the county town of Yuquan, Chen Du, as the guard of a county, has a lot of respect for him. In Pang Jun's opinion, if the Qi army launched a large-scale attack, Yuquan would definitely not be able to hold it. And Chen Du is just a civil official, staying here is just a dead end. A civil official, to be able to do this level, Pang Jun thinks it's very good, at least it's not a waste of dim sum.

Chen Du's eyes were hot, he wanted to say that he was willing to live and die with the general, the same fate, the city was in the people, the city was broken and the people died, but the words turned around in his mouth, but he didn't say it in the end, he arched his hand at Pang Jun with mixed feelings, "General Pang, where are you?" ā€

Pang Jun smiled: "Naturally, it will die with the city." ā€

Chen Du didn't dare to look at Pang Jun anymore, turned around sharply and walked towards the city, but in his heart he scolded himself like a ball of shit.

Along the inclined ladder, he had just walked down a few steps, and Pang Jun's voice suddenly came from above the city wall: "Chen Junshou, wait a minute, you come back quickly." ā€

Chen Du's heart jumped, couldn't it be that Pang Jun had changed his mind again and wanted to die with the city together, right?

He turned his head and looked at Pang Jun. Pang Jun's whole person was trembling, but there was a surprise expression on his face, "Fire Phoenix Army, it's Fire Phoenix Army, our own army." ā€

Chen Du's head buzzed, and for a while, his mind became completely blank, but the person ran back in three steps and two steps, stood beside Pang Jun, and looked at it.

In his field of vision, endless cavalry were pouring here, but at this time, what he felt was not fear, but joy, the banner of Da Chu, the phoenix flag flew high, and the fiery red battle flag was shining in the sun, it was the fire phoenix army.

"No wonder the scouts I sent out didn't come back." Pang Jun suddenly realized that they had encountered their own army. Thinking of this, Pang Jun couldn't laugh or cry again, after all, they were just some stragglers, if it was in the Eastern Border Army, even if this was the case, shouldn't the scouts immediately return to the team and report the information to the officials?

I'm afraid that these scouts will see the Fire Phoenix Army, and they will be so happy that they have forgotten who they are.

What a bastard! Pang Jun scolded in his heart.

On the city wall, there was a sound of jubilation, and seeing the banner of the Fire Phoenix Army, everyone knew that Yuquan County was safe. The Fire Phoenix Army is in Dachu, but it is even stronger than the Eastern Border Army.

Chen Du's eyes were hot, if he didn't hold back himself, he was afraid that tears would come down. My persistence has finally paid off.

The Fire Phoenix Army is back!

Of course, they didn't come out after hardships and dangers, because they didn't encounter the Qi army along the way. On the route of their return journey, the Qi army seemed to have a tacit understanding, and almost all of them took the initiative to make way for them, and even the fight between the scouts did not happen, because as soon as the Qi army scouts saw the Chu army scouts, they immediately beat their horses and ran away.

In fact, the route chosen by the Fire Phoenix Army is quite dangerous, there is a blockade in the front, there are chasing soldiers in the back, front and back, left and right, all of them are enemies. In the eyes of ordinary generals, this is naturally a foolish plan, but in the eyes of high-ranking generals like Luo Hu, they naturally know that the cause of this problem is not military, but political.

The emperor's suspicion of Cheng Wuben has reached an unprecedented height, and he would rather risk his life to fight his way out of the bloody path than walk into Cheng Wuben's trap safely.

Yes, traps, that's what the emperor thought.

But this road is too strange, Luo Hu is puzzled, the Qi people don't have any entanglement with them at all, and even, before their army arrives, the Qi army in front has already moved its way.

If you want to say that the Qi people are afraid of the Fire Phoenix Army, it is not necessarily, Luo Hu knows that at this moment, behind the main force of the Fire Phoenix Army, there is a cavalry of Qi people, about 10,000 horses, but their actions are not like a decisive battle with the Fire Phoenix Army, but as if they are escorted. It seems to be watching this army leave the six eastern counties.

This feeling made Luo Hu very uncomfortable and humiliated.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and one day, we will kill it back. The generals of the Fire Phoenix Army were extremely proud, but they had to endure this humiliation now.

In this situation, the senior generals of the Chu army were strange, and finally attributed the reason to An Ruhai's wanton destruction in the border of Qi, and it was very likely that Qi could no longer bear An Ruhai's style of play, so they could only concentrate their forces to destroy An Ruhai first, which made it impossible for them to gather the main force to encircle and annihilate the Fire Phoenix Army.

After all, the strength of the Fire Phoenix Army is not comparable to the ordinary Chu Army.

After coming to this conclusion, Huo Fengjun's heart felt a little better, but his respect for An Ruhai rose to a new height, correspondingly, they were angry with Cheng Wuben now.

They are all important ministers of the state, but the choices of An Ruhai and Cheng Wuben are completely different.

At least, that's what Luo Hu and his generals think. In their hearts, Cheng Wuben is not much different from the level of a traitor.

The Huofeng Army is not the Eastern Frontier Army, and the Eastern Frontier Army regards Cheng Wuben as a god-like existence, but the Huofeng Army has always been the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and it is naturally unconvincing for a guy like Cheng Wuben, who is known as the Iron Wall of the Chu State.

The iron wall of the Chu State, this is a good saying, a bad saying, it is called a turtle shell. This is what the generals of the Fire Phoenix Army have always felt about Cheng Wuben.

The six eastern counties are gone. This is already an ironclad fact. Luo Hu originally thought that Yuquan County would definitely be gone. But right now, Yuquan County, which was standing tall in front of him, was still flying the banner of Da Chu, which made him breathe a long sigh of relief. They urgently need to replenish food, ordnance, and Yuquan is still there, so they have everything.

It seems that Yuquan's military appearance is quite neat, and this county guard is not only loyal to his duties, but also a person with excellent ability! Luo Hu sighed in his heart, and saw the gate of Yuquan County City open, and more than a dozen people walked out from inside.
