"What?" Gui Shengrong, the guardian of Qucheng City, Huo Di stood up and asked in horror, "Ying'an was captured by the enemy?"

The scout nodded quickly, "That's true. Although the distance is far, I can see it clearly. The approaching flag has been hung on the top of the city!"

Feeling slightly panicked, Gui Shengrong couldn't help but pace back and forth.

He never expected that Ying'an is a mountain city with high walls and thick walls. It has not fallen for decades, but now it...

It seems that the predictions of myself and others were completely wrong!

Qin Yi was not only good at attacking cities, he was also very sharp. He captured Ying'an City in just two days!

Then, it’s our own Qucheng... We must strengthen the city’s defenses and prepare to defend the city, and we must not make the same mistakes again!

Just when he was about to give the order, he suddenly heard a report from his subordinates that Ying'an deserters had arrived at the city gate, shouting across the moat, begging for the door to be opened.

Hearing this, Gui Shengrong was slightly happy. Although Qucheng has a wide moat and is difficult to attack, the disadvantage is that there are not many guards in the city, with only more than 20,000 people, which is not enough.

It would be great if we could recruit Ying'an guards.

But Gui Shengrong also understands that he must be careful to avoid capsizing in the gutter.

After thinking for a moment, he led many soldiers to the city wall, looked down, and was slightly disappointed.

There are only five thousand Ying'an deserters under the city, which is slightly less, but still better than none.

After a few glances, Gui Shengrong asked the general beside him to shout down, "Who are you?"

Many deserters, covered in blood, screamed one after another, saying that they were Ying'an guards and took the opportunity to escape when the enemy invaded Ying'an.

Gui Shengrong listened quietly and kept scanning his eyes. He found that these deserters were wearing the clothes and armor of the previous country. Their buns and helmets were all in the style of the previous country, and there was nothing wrong with them.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a shout, "General Gui, it's me, Ning Tao!"

Hearing the shouting, Gui Shengrong quickly turned his head and saw a general on horseback on one side of the deserters. Judging from his face... it was the Ying'an general Ning Tao he had seen before.

Gui Shengrong had no doubts anymore and quickly ordered, "Lower the suspension bridge, open the city gate and let them in."

The order was passed on, and in the gate tower, many soldiers turned the winch and lowered the suspension bridge.

At the city gate, the guards pulled the gate together and opened it completely.

Many deserters stepped on the solid suspension bridge, walked across the wide moat, and entered the curved city.

Watching the deserters filing in, Gui Shengrong sent an order to have the deserters lined up and registered. After that, they were brought to the camp to rest.

And he took the generals down to the city gate and saw Ying'an general Ning Tao with a bloody face.

Frowning, Gui Shengrong asked doubtfully, "General Ning, how is the situation in Ying'an?"

Ning Tao looked dejected and said sadly, "Ying'an... has completely fallen..."

Gui Shengrong sighed, "What about Zhao Chengshou?"

"I don't know," Ning Tao shook his head, "I think he was captured..."

After saying that, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.

Gui Shengrong didn't notice. He pondered for a moment and then asked, "Ying'an City has high walls and thick walls. Why did it fall?"

Ning Tao shook his head again, "I don't know, general. When the news comes, the enemy has occupied the city. No matter how hard we fight, we can't take it back."

"Alas!" Gui Shengrong sighed and then said, "You should go and have a rest first. Someone, come and take General Ning to the mansion to rest."

Unexpectedly, Ning Tao stood there, motionless, his face constantly changing, as if he was hesitating.

When Gui Shengrong saw it, he thought it was a too big blow and comforted him, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will put in a few nice words for you. You just need to have a good rest and stick to Qucheng with me to repel them."

The enemy will surely be able to atone for his sins."

Hearing this, Ning Tao was suddenly moved, and the hesitation on his face completely disappeared.

Gui Shengrong treated him like this, and he could never be unkind, so he felt determined and said urgently, "General Gui, these soldiers are all enemy troops, capture them quickly!"

His heart was shocked and his eyes widened. Gui Shengrong had no time to ask more questions and shouted hurriedly, "Capture them!"

The guards in Qucheng were slightly stunned, but they did not question it. They drew their weapons and rushed towards the deserters who were lined up.

Many deserters were slightly shocked when they encountered the sudden change, but without hesitation, they turned around and rushed towards the city gate!

They are the soldiers of Linzhan. This is Qin Yi's plan.

Among the many Ying'an generals who surrendered, Qin Yi selected Ning Tao. This man valued love rather than righteousness. Because many of his family members were captured, in order to protect the family, he was willing to lead Linzhan's soldiers and sneak into Qucheng to act as an internal agent.

, open the city gate when attacking the city.

But how could you know that this guy is just a grassroots, changing from time to time. Seeing Gui Shengrong thinking about himself so much, he was moved, so he revealed the matter and made Qin Yi's plan change!

At this time, the city gate had not yet been closed, and many soldiers who were looking at them suddenly rushed forward, with their swords suddenly raised, and killed the enemy soldiers who wanted to close the city gate.

Some soldiers rushed to the gate tower on the city gate and continued to kill the many Qucheng guards who turned the winch and tried to close the suspension bridge.

Things changed very quickly. After hearing the news, many Qucheng guards came and fought with the Linzhan soldiers, fighting for control of the city gate and gate tower.

Both sides were fighting extraordinarily crazily. One side received the order and had to cooperate internally and externally, so they fought hard in order to delay time.

The other side knew very well that if these enemy troops were not killed, Qucheng would definitely be lost, so they were also fighting for time, striving to retake the city gate when the enemy troops arrived.

As Gui Shengrong continued to mobilize his troops, many soldiers who were resting in the barracks entered the battle one after another, divided into two groups, one group of Linzhan soldiers who violently attacked the city gate, and the other group attacked the gate tower with the intention of retaking the gate tower.
p>

Linzhan's soldiers numbered only over 5,000. Although they were extremely brave and brave, they were immediately at a disadvantage against an enemy force several times their own. However, even though they were pressed and beaten and their bodies were covered with wounds, they never retreated and defended the city gate.<

/p>

Among them, one Qianhu was wounded in the waist and abdomen, dripping with blood, but he still screamed and killed, never retreating, his bravery inspired many soldiers, and they became more fierce. Even though the battle was tragic, their morale did not weaken by half.

Just because when they came, Qin Yi once told them to be careful. Whether Linzhan can capture Qucheng depends on them.

The commander placed high hopes on him, but many soldiers could not disappoint him, so he would rather die than retreat. Their fierce appearance shocked Gui Shengrong. He did not expect that the soldiers in Linzhan were so brave and not afraid of death!

Immediately, he understood that it was no wonder that Qin Yi was undefeated in many battles. In addition to being an excellent strategist, he was also very good at leading troops, and his subordinates were all tigers and wolves!

Before he could finish marveling, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance outside the city. Gui Shengrong looked over quickly and found that it was a scout from Qucheng, galloping towards him.

Seeing the shock on the other side, Gui Shengrong's heart suddenly sank!

When a scout comes to report, it is definitely not good news.

Maybe... Qin Yi led the crowd here!

As soon as this idea occurred, Gui Shengrong felt that the ground seemed to be shaking!
Chapter completed!
