Hearing that the Qin soldiers were attacking, the sentries on the tower immediately became nervous. The soldier who was responsible for reporting the news rushed down almost rolling and crawling.

It’s over!

It’s over!

I really look forward to whatever comes, but nothing comes!

Whoever you don’t want to come will have to come!

This was what Huan Chong was saying when he put on his armor and rushed up to the tower.

My luck is too bad!

It's good now, I can't run away even if I want to!

This sentence is not only Mr. Huan's complaint, but also a message to Huan Yi. Young people just have no experience.

As I said a long time ago, Di Qin would not just watch the Jin army occupy so many cities, and would definitely send troops to seize them.

If you want to run, there is a chance.

One day earlier, they might all be safe, but now?

Even if you don’t want to start a fight, you can only fight!

If Huan Chong had complained like this three days ago, Huan Yi might have retorted a few words, but now, the situation does not seem to be on his side.

"General, King Huanye please order us to go out of the city to meet the enemy!" He has to bear the trouble he caused. Despite Huan Yisheng's tender face, he is definitely an upright man.

Huan Chong looked at the situation ahead and sighed: "There's no rush yet."

"Looking at it, I see there aren't many of them."

"Wait until they get to the city and see what their intentions are."

"Then I'll set up defenses!" Huan Yi couldn't stand here and do nothing. The war was coming, and he had to do something.

On the contrary, at this time, Mr. Huan Chong, who had always advocated running away if he could and running away as soon as possible, was very calm.

It's not that he has confidence in the Jingzhou soldiers, but that his estimate of the enemy's strength is accurate.

According to his visual inspection, this Di Qin army did not exceed two thousand people at most.

Perhaps, it is the vanguard sent by Nanyang County. The large group of people is still behind.

Huanchong here also has some knowledge of the situation in Nanyang County. Compared with Xinye, the city defense in Nanyang County is stronger. The city has high walls and strong walls, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

And because it was closer to the hinterland of Di Qin, Nanyang County had more troops, including many elites.

And now, the person guarding Nanyang County is none other than Di Qin's famous general Yang Ding.

Yang Ding was a native of Qiuchi. He was brave in battle and quite strategic. Most importantly, he was quite popular with Fu Jian.

Fu Jian personally recruited him as his consort and married Princess Lueyang to him.

There is Yang Ding in Nanyang County, which is one of the reasons why Huan Chong always thinks about running away. He is not a general who is always courageous.

In Xiangyang a few days ago, the reason why he fought so bravely and seemed like a different person was because he was infected by the atmosphere.

At that time, there were shouts of fighting and killing outside Xiangyang City, and the Jin army was so powerful that not only the generals leading the army, but also the most ordinary recruits were full of confidence.

In that atmosphere, even Huan Chong was moved. Naturally, he forgot his usual behavior and rushed forward.

Of course, the effect of such a charge was not bad. Huan Chong won a long-lost victory, allowing his prestige to fly over the Jin Dynasty again.

However, Huan Chong, who was so courageous, was not the real Huan Chong after all. The real Huan Chong still preferred to fight a sure battle.

For many years, Huan Chong fought with the belief that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will not lose even if you don't win.

But now, with the army pressing on the border, it is no longer realistic to retreat immediately. Since we can't retreat, then go forward!

Fight him and buy time for the Jingzhou soldiers.

Huan Chong judged that this vanguard should be tasked with half attacking and half spying on the situation.

Only by suppressing this force can the Jingzhou soldiers maintain their strength and retreat to Xiangyang City. At the same time, they can also give the arrogant Qin soldiers a head-on attack!

We are not sure about attacking 10,000 people, but if we deal with 2,000 people, the current strength of Xinye City is more than enough.

bring it on!

Let you see how powerful my old general is!

Huan Chong waved his sword forward on the tower, full of pride!

That momentum!

That's awesome!

This really made all the officers and soldiers present straighten their backs and feel proud.

"My subordinates are willing to follow General Huan and will drive the Di Qin troops out of Xinye City!"

"good!"

"With all the soldiers working together, we, the Jingzhou soldiers, will definitely win even if we fight alone!" Huan Chong stood in front of the parapet and announced loudly.

Inspired by him, the Jingzhou soldiers who were a little timid just now gathered their courage, and even their eyes changed!

It becomes bright and full of energy, and murderous intent bursts out!

"General Huan, please take shelter below. We can handle it with the generals here!"

Liu Chun stepped forward and wanted to invite General Huan to leave. Unexpectedly, the old general refused to leave this time.

He held on to the wall and said confidently: "What are you afraid of?"

"Anyway, Yang Ding won't come. These young Di Qin generals can't do anything to me!"

Yang Ding?

Liu Chun was stunned, and suddenly thought of the name that Huan Chong mentioned repeatedly a few days ago, the great general who defeated Qin.

I heard that this man was also a rare wise general among Di Qin. No wonder Huan Chong was so courageous at this moment. It turned out that he was sure that Yang Ding would not take the lead!

On the other side, at the foot of Xinye City, the man who led the Di Qin soldiers to attack the city was indeed not the general Yang Ding, but another general named Yang, Yang Bi, who was also Fu Jian's son-in-law.

Comparing the two of them, Yang Bi cannot be compared with Yang Ding in terms of strategy and combat skills. He is able to guard a large county like Nanyang only because he is Yang Jian's son-in-law and is a cousin to Yang Ding.

It's so cheap.

The two brothers Yang Ding and Yang Bi have been guarding Nanyang County for two years. In the past two years, the two brothers have worked together with Wei Xing and lived a stable life of good food and good food.

The city of Xiangyang, which is across the river from them, has a vast territory and strong troops, and is closer to the Jin Dynasty. With the defenders of Xiangyang blocking it, the Jin army will never be able to reach Nanyang.

However, good times must eventually come to an end. Ever since Xiangyang and Xinye were connected, Yang Ding could no longer sit still.

But, take the initiative?

Without Fu Jian's order, he did not dare to attack easily. For fear of offending the Jin troops in Xinye and Xiangyang, they would join forces and seize Nanyang County again.

Then Yang Ding's crime would be even greater.

However, the Jin army's front was really sharp, and Yang Ding was beating a small drum in his heart, and quickly sent a letter to Fu Jian in Chang'an City, requesting the order.

However, several days passed, but no reply was received.

This is obviously very abnormal, something must have happened in Chang'an City!

However, Yang Ding, who was far away in Nanyang, couldn't guess what happened.

At this time, his impatient cousin Yang Bi quietly left the city to challenge the Jingzhou soldiers in Xinye City. Let’s see how strong these people are!

"General Yang, look!"

"There is movement in the Jin army!"

Yang Bi reined in his horse and looked up. Sure enough, on the Xinye City Tower occupied by the Jin army, the originally loose sentries suddenly became alert, the number of people suddenly increased, and a shield formation was erected on the tower!

"Shield formation!"

"It seems like we're going to take a defensive stance!"

"Brothers, follow me and rush to the east corner gate first!"

Yang Bi waved his whip, and the Di Qin soldiers rushed down the mountain towards Xinye City like tigers.

Huan Chong's prediction was correct. The Di Qin army led by Yang Bi was indeed very small in number. Except for the 300-man cavalry team who took the lead and looked very powerful, the rest were infantry.

The number of these foot soldiers is only over a thousand.

Since only such a small number of troops were sent, it can be seen that Yang Ding, who formulated the strategy, took the initiative to attack this time not to capture Xinye City at all.

Valley bath

It was just to shock and to spy on the true and false status of the Jin army.

After all, they have not yet figured out how many Jin troops are stationed in Xinye, and the purpose of going out to challenge the city is not to besiege the Jin troops.

This was their strategy to give the Jin army a limited blow, end the battle before dark, and return to Wei Xing.

Just a thousand people trying to storm the main gate would definitely not be successful.

Although Yang Bi's wisdom is not high, he doesn't even have this bit of vision. In comparison, the walls of Xinye City are not as strong as those of Nanyang County.
