The morning dew condensed slightly. At this time, the brazier on the martial arts tower had not yet been removed. Under the reflection of the brazier, one could faintly see rows of soldiers with somewhat sleepy faces, holding long halberds in their hands and standing on the tower with their heads bowed.

superior!

At this moment, under the city tower, a loud shout suddenly sounded: "We are under the command of the general of the kingdom! Help! There are pursuers behind us, open the city gate quickly!"

A cry of surprise immediately woke up the guards on the tower, and they all stuck their heads out to look down the tower.

A few hundred meters away from the city tower, I saw a group of hundreds of ragged soldiers dressed as Xiliang soldiers, supporting each other and heading towards the city tower.

Seeing this, the captain guarding the city quickly stopped and said: "Who is coming? Stop immediately and don't come any closer, otherwise I will shoot you as bandits!"

As soon as the captain said his words, a dozen soldiers holding long bows immediately poured out of the city tower and aimed their eyes at the bottom of the city tower. This time, the soldiers under the city tower immediately began to howl in tears, but there was no

No one dares to keep moving forward!

The captain breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this and ordered: "Guard the tower and don't allow anyone to approach. I'm going to tell General Cheng Yi about this!"

"Captain, don't worry!"

...

The captain rushed into the mansion in panic, and then rushed directly to Cheng Yi's door, knocking on the door constantly: "General, open the door quickly! The defeated army is coming outside the city!"

"What's going on?" Cheng Yi, who was sleeping on the bed, woke up with a loud knock on the door, stood up, quickly put on his clothes, rushed to the door, opened the door, saw the captain, and hurriedly

He yelled and asked: "Where did the defeated army come from? How many are there?"

"They claim to be under the command of the general of the kingdom, and they number in the hundreds. They also say that they are being pursued by soldiers! Please open the city gate quickly!" the captain reported urgently.

"What!?" Cheng Yi was startled, then gritted his teeth and said: "How could it be that the kingdom was defeated? You know, it was only three days ago that there was news that Wu Zhaohou was about to enter the Chiyang border! Could it be that Wu Zhaohou broke through 10,000 in one day?

Can Xinping City be defended by two thousand people?"

The captain trembled all over and said: "General, then this..."

"Don't mess up!" Cheng Yi calmed down and said in a serious voice, "Take this general forward quickly. Maybe this is a group of enemy troops who came to deceive the city. Order them down and tell a thousand people to guard behind the city gate.

, wait for me to open the city gate, and immediately take them all down!"

"The general is wise!" the captain flattered him.

"Don't say any more, I will go to the city tower immediately!" Cheng Yi glanced at the captain, hurriedly took his weapon and headed towards the city gate.

The captain quickly went to give Cheng Yi's orders!

...

As soon as Cheng Yi came to the tower, he glanced at the soldiers below the tower, a flash of ridicule flashed in his eyes, and immediately shouted: "Since you say you are subordinates of the kingdom, do you have any tokens to prove it?!"

Among the hundreds of people downstairs, a middle-aged man staggered out and replied in a trembling voice: "Report...report to the general. There is no token of the rapid defeat, but we are really under the general of the kingdom!"

Cheng Yi glanced sideways under the tower and saw that the soldiers had not arrived yet, so he shouted procrastinatingly: "In that case, what's your name!"

"Villain..."

The two asked each other a few more words. When they saw that the soldiers had arrived at the city tower, they looked happy and ordered: "I believe you, someone, come and open the city tower quickly!"

"Here!" A soldier promised and left.

"Thank you, General! The city gate is open. Run into the city quickly!" the middle-aged man said, limping towards the city gate. Others also supported him and walked towards the city gate.

After entering the city gate, Cheng Yi suddenly shouted from the city tower: "Arrest him! He must be alive!"

roar!

After giving the order, the remaining defeated soldiers outside the city gate had just entered the city gate. More than a thousand soldiers hiding behind the city gate immediately rushed up and subdued the more than a hundred people who had thrown away their swords, guns, swords and halberds!

The middle-aged man was escorted by two soldiers, and shouted with red eyes: "General, you have to believe me, I am really a member of the general of the kingdom! You can't treat us like this!"

"Yes, yes, general, we are both from Liangzhou, how could you treat us like this!"

"Let us go! General Cheng Yi, what are you going to do?"

....

Everyone struggled to escape and shouted loudly. However, Cheng Yi did not even get off the tower. He only gave an angry order: "Press down these people and torture them. They must be tried."

Come out, where they came from!”

"Yes!" More than a thousand people escorted more than a hundred people and went directly to the prison.

Cheng Yi, who was sitting on the city tower, was full of pride: "It's just a wishful thinking for a mere hundred people to defraud the city guarded by this general!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats suddenly came from the distance, making Cheng Yi tremble all over. He quickly put his head out and looked in the direction of the sound of horse hoofbeats. He only saw a group of three to four hundred people, dressed like Xiliang soldiers.

The soldiers and horses came towards Wugong City.

When Cheng Yi saw this look, he immediately became angry. It was enough to cheat the city once. Isn't this the end?

Cheng Yi, whose blood suddenly rushed to the sky, pulled out the saber from his waist, strode to the higher part of the tower, pointed the saber towards the sky, and shouted loudly: "Which people are coming?!"

"The generals of the Kingdom are here to hunt down the remnants of Wu Zhaohou's army. I wonder if General Cheng Yi has seen it!" At the front of the team, a general dressed as a school lieutenant raised his fist and shouted.

"The remnants of Wu Zhaohou's army?! You think this general is a fool. How could Wu Zhaohou lose to that useless general of yours?!" Cheng Yi wished he could go down and kill the man who answered the question. Isn't this making him a fool?

?

He didn't believe that Wu Zhaohou defeated the Kingdom in one day, let alone that the Kingdom defeated Wu Zhaohou in one day?!

However, the captain did not become angry as expected by Cheng Yi. Instead, he explained: "The general misunderstood. Those remnants were from Xinping who escaped from the city tower when Wu Zhaohou failed to attack the city the day before yesterday.

The remnants of Wugong City! This is a token, please accept it, general!"

As he spoke, the captain drew his bow while he was fighting his horse, and while running, the arrow shot out quickly. With a bang, it was nailed to the wooden wall of the watchtower on the city tower.

Hearing this, Cheng Yi calmly took off the token on the bow and arrow, the token of the kingdom. He couldn't help but feel a little relieved. He glanced downstairs, suddenly his expression changed, and he squeezed out a smile and said: "It turns out it's really true.

He is under the command of the general of the kingdom. I am rude to you. You have been chasing me all night. Do you need to go to the city to rest?!"

As he spoke, a cunning look flashed in his eyes. If he really came to hunt down Wu Zhaohou's fleeing army, the battle ahead is urgent, and he must come in a hurry. It is impossible to enter the city and stay for a long time. If he has other intentions, he must enter.

If you don't enter the city, you can't do anything!

In other words, even if your judgment is wrong and the opponent wants to enter the city again, and there is no objection, it doesn't matter. It's just a few hundred people. If you kill the wrong one, you will kill the wrong one! In short, as soon as the opponent enters the city, kill him directly.

!

Hearing this, the captain outside the city seemed to have not thought of what Cheng Yi was thinking at all. He felt embarrassed and clasped his fists at Cheng Yi: "The war is urgent, and the general does not dare to stay for a long time. If those people are in the hands of the general, please turn them over."

At the end of the day, the general will bring him back to Xinping, so that he can kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!"

Hearing this, Cheng Yi felt relieved. A faint smile appeared on his face, and he clasped his fists and said, "The general is joking. He has been working all night. Even if he doesn't take a break, he still has to have breakfast before leaving? Otherwise, how can he leave?"

Doesn’t it mean that I won’t treat my allies well?”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and ordered: "Open the city gate quickly!"

"General, I'm afraid..."

Before the captain downstairs could speak, Cheng Yi's expression darkened: "Don't say any more, I have ordered people to prepare breakfast. General, come quickly!"

"Then it's better to obey your orders than to be respectful!" the captain smiled bitterly and rode towards the city gate, followed closely by more than 300 people behind him.
