Soldiers and horses galloped in the wilderness away from the bustling place, sometimes joining together and sometimes scattering. The sentinels were constantly throwing out back and forth like long whips, and then brought back the latest news.
After leaving the Taiyuan realm, no soldiers and horses from the Taiyuan Prefecture followed.
Before reaching the capital, Fan Yangjun disappeared for the time being.
There was a rumbling sound in the state capital all around. There were no soldiers and horses closing the city tightly and lingering. Those who had soldiers and horses were swaying left and right to watch.
Apart from wild soldiers and bandits, I encountered no other soldiers along the way.
Wild soldiers and bandits would plunder passers-by and civilians, and those with large numbers and power would also plunder cities, but they would not dare to step forward when seeing large numbers of soldiers and horses.
"There is a path ahead that can go through the mountain."
"Form up, form up, take the small road."
Following the news brought by the sentry, the soldiers and horses marching turned around. Some of the soldiers and horses hesitated a little, as if they didn't know what to choose, like waves hitting a rock.
Chen Erdao: "Master, Master, are we still following them?"
Before Xiang Nan could say anything, the man named Jiang Hui rushed over and said, "We will go wherever my uncle goes. The eldest lady must obey my uncle's orders."
There is no need to waste time trying to get rid of these people at this time. Xiang Nan is not the kind of person who cannot distinguish between primary and secondary emotions.
"Same as them." Xiang Nan said to Chen Er.
Chen Er then ordered, and the hesitantly rolling waves fell back into the water, merged into one, and rolled forward.
Jiang Hui said solemnly to Xiang Nan: "Sister-in-law, the eldest lady asked us to obey your orders. We are not just guarding your uncle. Since we are rebels, our soldiers and horses in Jiannan Road will fight to the death."
Xiang Nan looked at him and said: "Please kill the enemy and not lose your reputation in Jiannan Road."
Jiang Huisurong responded: "I will clear the way for my uncle."
After saying that, he rushed forward.
After leaving Xiang Nan, his expression did not relax at all, but his brows became even tighter.
"Is it really critical?" he asked in a low voice.
Someone came closer and whispered: "It's very critical. There are not many people on the eldest lady's side."
Jiang Hui was anxious: "How come there aren't many? Even if the eldest lady doesn't understand, doesn't Yuanji know how to fight? That's Anton, how come he doesn't bring enough people?"
"I don't know." The man was also anxious, "It happened too suddenly, and the news couldn't be spread."
Jiang will grit his teeth and urge the horse.
The man looked back and said, "Are we really taking them with us?"
Jiang Hui also turned around, his solemn expression softening slightly: "Master Xiang is a good man. Just because he heard the news and brought three hundred people to help. Although he doesn't know whose soldiers and horses he is assisting."
Xiang Nan's actions really surprised them.
When I received the news, I was anxious and didn't know what excuse to use to help, but Xiang Nan came forward.
In this way, they can rush to the aid of the eldest lady in the name of your uncle.
Although it sounds a bit strange...
But are Mr. Xiang and Mrs. Wu very familiar? He immediately led his troops to help without hesitation... An idea flashed across Jiang Hui's mind, and a sharp alarm came from the sentry in front.
"There's an ambush!"
This place is still some distance from Anton, and an ambush has been arranged. This shows the number of troops mobilized from Ankang Mountain.
Jiang will raise the spear.
"kill!"
Kill it! Kill it!
The sound of fighting shook the valley.
...
...
The sound of fighting could be heard across the mountains, rivers, city and wilderness, and even the Henan Road observer standing on the wall of Xuzhou City seemed to be able to hear it.
The shaking on the ground seemed to have never stopped since the day I heard the news.
"The Zhenwu Army on Huainan Road is really crazy." He paced back and forth and cursed angrily again, "That's Anton! Anton! The tip of the tiger's tail in Ankang Mountain! Why do they think they can touch the tip of the tail?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pause and ask again.
"Are you sure it's the Zhenwu Army from Huainan Province? They're not some rebels pretending to attack Anton, but they actually want to attack us from Henan Province, right?"
The generals around him also comforted him again: "I'm sure it's not." "They are really beating Anton."
However, there is also new news: "Not only are there Zhenwu troops, there are also soldiers and horses rushing to help from Taiyuan Prefecture."
The observer was surprised: "Taiyuan Mansion? Taiyuan Mansion is crazy?"
Taiyuan Prefecture is further away than them. How is that possible?
"It seems that the soldiers and horses are not from Taiyuan Prefecture, but from Jiannan Road."
"No, no, I heard news that it was the Huazhou White Robe Army."
What the hell kind of place is Huazhou! The observer was stunned. Is there a hodgepodge of soldiers and horses fighting in Anton?
"In short, no matter how they fight, just don't hit us." He waved his hand and warned, "Be on guard."
The generals responded chaotically that there were soldiers and horses galloping outside the city, which shocked everyone.
"They are our people." Fortunately, they saw the flag clearly and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but then they were surprised, "They are soldiers and horses from Tangcheng. Why are they here?"
There were not many soldiers and horses coming from Tangcheng, and it was obvious that they were personal guards protecting the generals.
The leading general is young, handsome and a bit playful, and stands out among them.
"Zhongqi, why are you here?" The observation envoy saw it at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward and shouted in concern, "But what's going on in Tangcheng?"
Zhong Qi shook his head: "Sir, nothing happened in Tangcheng. Don't worry, everything is fine."
The observation made me somewhat relieved: "I feel relieved when you are here."
Zhong Qi cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, sir, I will lead the troops to repel those Anton rebels."
The observation commander Youzi nodded and said, "Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay." The officers around him grabbed him with pale faces and shouted at the city gate.
"What rebels?"
"Repulse what?"
Zhong Qi said: "It's not that Anton's rebels are attacking our Henan Province. Don't worry, sir." He pointed to the distance, "Our eight thousand soldiers and horses in Tangcheng have all been assembled. I will personally lead them to fight."
After saying that, he patted the horse and left, followed by the soldiers around him. In the distance, the horse's hooves vibrated and caused dust and smoke.
The observer on the city gate here turned around and beat the wall and screamed.
"What? How? No, the Anton rebels did not attack us! Hurry, call him back!"
"Hurry up and come back!"
"Assemble troops!"
The city of Xuzhou was instantly filled with soldiers and horses galloping into chaos.
...
...
Although the streets and markets in Gwangju Prefecture are bustling, there is still a faint tension, probably because the galloping soldiers and horses are becoming more and more frequent.
"There's no fighting nearby."
"It's not nearby, it's near the capital, over on Henan Road."
"That's okay, it's still far away from us."
"Actually, it's not far. Our soldiers and horses are also among them. The angels escorting them from the capital are passing by. Of course they want to join the battle."
"I see. No wonder some soldiers and horses were mobilized to go west."
The news on the street has gradually spread, and the government has no intention of hiding it. After all, more reinforcements are needed, but it is still too far for the reinforcements to pass.
"Madam, the good news is that there are many soldiers and horses over there for reinforcements." A soldier with a weathered face stood in the hall, pointing at the map, "Some are from Taiyuan Prefecture, and some are from Henan Province.
of."
Yuan Ji whispered to Li Minglou: "It's Jiang Hui and Zhong Qi. When they hear the news and know that they are our people, they must go to help."
"With these reinforcements, the situation is much better. We should be able to hold on until our reinforcements pass." Xinbing said. Although he did not enter the siege to see what was going on inside, the rebels were still increasing, which showed that they were trapped inside.
The soldiers and horses are still holding on.
Li Minglou stood in silence in front of the map for a long time. Hearing this, his face was neither sad nor happy, and seemed numb.
"Is there any news about the Zhenwu Army in Linzhou?" she simply asked.
This sentence stopped the discussion in the hall. Yuanji looked at Xinbing, who lowered his head: "No."
There was silence in the hall, and the woman in white standing in front of the map seemed to have really turned into a clay statue of a fairy, until footsteps rushed outside.
Another soldier rushed in: "Madam, madam, there is news from Governor Wu."
The people in the hall came to life, and Yuanji rarely took a step forward and asked: "Where are you?"
Xin Bing said: "Xiangzhou."
Yuanji was startled, Xiangzhou? Where is it?
Li Minglou, who had been motionless, looked upward from Anton to one direction on the map.
Xiangzhou is in the northernmost part of the capital.
She stretched out her finger and tapped it gently.
