A person who says this is lying and fearing, but what about a group of people?
The deputy general was a little shaken and froze for a moment, then turned to look at Xiang Yang behind him: "Young Master... this..."
"What the hell! Are you afraid of a group of ordinary people?"
At this time, Xiang Yang was shocked, angry and scared. What was shocking was that his last army was driven out by a group of common people.
What I'm afraid of is that once my troops are defeated again, I will really die without a burial place.
The news that he led his army into the Qinglian Mountains will definitely be reported to Nan Yanxi by the pursuers behind him.
If his guess was correct, that naughty Nan Yanxi must have sent reinforcements here.
After all, this is a newly built city with little defense, and it must be very important to him and he cannot afford to lose it. Naturally, he will not sit back and watch the enemy troops enter.
Now that things have come to a point, if you take a step forward, you can live, but if you take a step back, you will definitely die. Xiang Yang really has no way out now.
Seeing this, Xiang Yang gradually lost his wit and became crazy.
He waved the sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "No matter whether the enemy is strong or not, we must move forward bravely!"
He turned to the deputy general and shouted: "You! Bring your own soldiers and surround the four gates. If you retreat without permission, you will be killed immediately!"
"Gu Gu personally led the army to attack the city. If I retreat, you will kill me too! Do you hear me!"
"Yes! Young Master!" The deputy general also knew that this was a matter of life and death, so he immediately opened his mouth and agreed loudly.
Seeing this, Xiang Yang no longer hesitated. He held a sword in his hand and rushed to the battlefield with a few soldiers around him.
"Attention all sergeants, if you take a step back, you will be killed immediately. I will fight alongside you alone! Charge...!"
Xiang Yang rushed into the battlefield with his own soldiers, shouting loudly as he attacked the enemy.
"When... when... when..."
The sound of metal colliding could be heard everywhere. Xiang Yang relied on his superb martial arts to kill several people in just an instant.
However, at this time, his heart was extremely shocked, and he no longer felt the disdain he had just now.
Except for some of the people wearing common people's clothes in front of them who didn't know much about battle formations, they were all very powerful, even surpassing those of the garrison wearing military uniforms.
At this time, there was a state of melee inside and outside the city, and the so-called battle formation was completely disrupted.
Each and every one of these people is as comfortable as a fish in water, walking freely on the battlefield, each and every one of them can draw a bow, shoot an arrow, swing a gun, and dance a knife!
To outsiders, these are not ordinary people, they are clearly a group of elite soldiers.
At this time, Xiang Yang, if it weren't for these people's unfamiliar battlefield coordination, he even thought that these people were elite Ming troops sent by Nan Yanxi in advance to lure him into a rash attack.
But despite this, the front line was gradually pushed back by them.
At this time, in the Sheriff's Mansion, Nangong Wenjian and others were still nervously arranging various battles.
Listening to the report of the soldiers behind them, they said that the four gates had pushed the enemy troops off the city wall, especially the east gate, and the enemy troops that broke into the city were also driven out.
Nangong Wenjian and the troops nodded with satisfaction, as if they were not surprised by this result.
Among them, a man who looked like a general asked Nangong Wenjian with some doubts: "Sir, what do you think Xiang Yang...is thinking, that these 30,000 people dare to attack our Hulan County City?
"
"And there are more than 30,000 remaining soldiers in total, and they have to be divided into four main directions of attack... This is not looking for death."
Hearing this, Nangong Wenjian smiled indifferently, his words full of ridicule: "Humph... I know what this little bastard is thinking..."
"I accidentally got into the Qinglian Mountains, and then accidentally came to the city of Hulan County."
"I must have sent people to the city to inquire about it. I feel that there are only 5,000 defenders in the city, and they are all reserve troops who are half farmers and half workers."
"So he took it for granted that if his more than 30,000 regular troops attacked the city through sneak attacks, they would have a great chance of winning."
As he spoke, he sneered: "But he would never have imagined that these sergeants are the main force in killing the living dead in this mountain range! They are already warriors who have fought a hundred battles!"
"I can't even imagine... who of the common people who are pioneering here are good? Without a few excellent skills and skills, who would dare to pioneer in the 800-mile Qinglian Mountains that cannibalize people?"
"It's not a problem to underestimate my service brigade and support brigade, but if you underestimate these pioneering people, you will suffer a big loss!"
"Every brick, every tile, every crop, every well, every acre of land, and every house here was built and cultivated bit by bit by them."
"You want to attack this place with tens of thousands of remaining soldiers? He probably can't imagine the ocean of common people's war!"
"Taking a step back, even if my army is defeated, these pioneering people alone can make Xiang Yang die without a burial place."
After saying that, Nangong Wenjian turned around and asked the officials beside him: "How is it? Have the soldiers sent out to deliver the message rushed out?"
"They're all rushing out, sir!" the official replied with his hands raised: "If nothing else happens, the cavalry can arrive at the nearest military station in an hour!"
"Furthermore, our troops and civilians who are pioneering outside will probably only take an hour to come back after receiving our signal."
"Three reds and two yellows, this is what we have agreed upon. It is a signal that will only be sent out if we are in danger of destroying the city."
"And this signal flare is unique to Mr. Xu and can be seen from twenty miles away!"
"Hahaha...Okay, okay..." Nangong Wenjian kept his beard on, and was very satisfied: "Send a few more people to tell the reinforcements..."
"Let them concentrate their forces and surround the enemy at the east gate first, and then cooperate with the city defense troops to wipe out the other three Xiang armies first."
"I guess that little brat Xiang Yang must be commanding from the east gate!"
"Yes! Sir!" An official agreed, turned around and walked away.
At this time, the battle had become clear, and the enemies at the west gate, south gate, and north gate had basically been repelled.
At present, there is only the east gate. Due to the addition of Xiang Yang, there was a stalemate with the defenders for a short time, and there was even a faint intention of counterattack.
"Counterattack? Haha... It seems that I still underestimate him!" Nangong Wenjian listened to the soldier's report and suddenly laughed!
He turned around and took down his sword from the weapon rack, and ordered to a man dressed as a deputy general next to him: "Come on..."
"Take my Qinglian soldiers with me and go with me to meet the young sect leader of the Liquan Sect, Xiang Yang!"
"Let's see which one is their Liquan swordsmanship, or our Qinglian swordsmanship is stronger!"
"Yes! Sir!" the deputy general agreed, and immediately went out. In a short time, he had gathered five hundred soldiers.
These people were all disciples of the Qinglian Sword Sect back then! They were kept by Nangong Wenjian as personal bodyguards, and were called Qinglian’s personal soldiers!
