After Fan Chou gave the order, he walked around the room. He had never seen a big scene before and was already breaking into a cold sweat. He was carrying the lives of nearly 50,000 soldiers and civilians in Anding City on his shoulders. This was no child's play.

Fan Chou was thinking about what countermeasures could be implemented, but he found that the soldier who had complained had not retreated yet, but was kneeling on the spot tremblingly. Fan Chou couldn't help but his anger suddenly surged up, and he kicked the soldier down, "Don't shout

Have you gone to deliver the order?! Why are you here?! Be careful, I will take military action!"

Fan Chou was not the kind of cowardly prefect who was drained by wine and sex, but he was also a man from Xiliang who was quite forceful. His kick was very heavy and he kicked the sergeant flying across the room.

But the sergeant didn't get angry. He climbed up without even brushing off the dust. Facing the angry-eyed Fan Chou, he stammered, "General...General...I...

We... all of us... have already been sent into battle... and there are... no more spare troops!" At the end of the sentence, I don't know where the courage came from.

Shout out.

"What?!" Fan Chou was shocked. There were still 10,000 troops in Anding City. Unexpectedly, they were already on the battlefield. This showed how fierce the battle was.

"What...what should I do? Is it because God is going to kill me, Fan Chou?" Fan Chou thought that he was almost out of ammunition and food, so he couldn't help but sit down on the ground in despair and muttered to himself.

"General! In fact, we can go to the common people to summon the rural warriors to the battlefield again!" The sergeant plucked up his courage and suggested.

"This is not possible! The purpose of our battle is to protect the people. Now the remaining people are willing to fight, and we have no more weapons on hand. How can we let the people die? You! Give me the order and tell me

All soldiers!

Those who want to protect their families from being ravaged by wild beasts, please cheer me up and defend the city to the death!" Fan Chong said, and he went back to the house to pick up the sword, and planned to go to the battlefield in person, surrounded by four people who were responsible for protecting Fan Chou.

The personal guards also rushed over.

"Master Taishou! We are willing to fight!" Just after Fan Chou led four personal guards out of the Taishou's Mansion, he found thousands of people gathered at the door of the Taishou's Mansion, each holding a hoe and a stick that he found somewhere.

Wait, under the leadership of an old man who looks like the village chief, he plans to go to war.

"Folks..." Fan Chou was surprised by the scene in front of him.

"Master Prefect! If it weren't for you, we would have been killed by those wild beasts a long time ago. Now is the time when the city's survival is in danger. We, the four thousand strong men, are willing to obey the instructions of the Master and go up to the city wall to defend our homes!" The old man said beside the old man.

A young man jumped out, holding a hoe in his hand and shouted, and other people around him responded.

"Okay! Thank you very much, fellow villagers! You! Take two thousand people to Sanmen to disperse support, and I will take the rest to South Gate!" Fan Chou was not pretentious, pointing to the old man's son, who just spoke.

The young man said, The young man accepted the order and was about to lead a group of fellow villagers to the battlefield when he was stopped by Fan Chou.

"What's your name?" Fan Chou stared at the young man and felt the extraordinary fighting spirit in him, just like when he was young. If he could survive after this battle, he must train him well.

"Your Majesty! My name is Han De!" The young man knelt down on one leg in front of Fan Chou and said with his fists in his hands, his eyes staring at Fan Chou without any sign of retreating.

"Okay! Boy, you must survive!" Fan Chou patted the young man's shoulder and took another two thousand troops to the south gate to support.

...

"Kill me! Kill all the women inside and the gold and silver treasures will all be yours!" Niu Fu became familiar with the leaders of several bandits and horse thieves, and his words became angry. He shouted while riding on his horse,

His subordinates even rushed forward to attack desperately.

Niu Fu's military strength has now reached 40,000, which is the strength after the foreign reinforcements sent by Beigong Yuling have joined. Now there are more than 35,000 people besieging the main city of Xiliang, with less than one person inside the city.

Wan's defenders still had to defend the four low city walls. The situation was very bad, and Niu Fu's main attack was

At the south gate, he first sent out the refugees who were stunned by hunger. After placing arrows on the city wall, he killed all the thousands of refugees. However, the soldiers on the city felt relieved that they had repelled the main attack of the enemy army.

At that time, Niu Fu's main force rushed up to attack the city. The south gate was in panic for a while until it fell.

After the south gate was breached, the deputy general who guarded the gate and the remaining soldiers did not take a step back and still struggled to hold on. Although some rural warriors and the defense forces of the prefecture came one after another from behind, it was still difficult to resist Niu Fu's army.

attack.

The originally nearly 3,000 defenders were now reduced to less than 1,000. Just when they were about to fall, Fan Chou's reinforcements finally arrived.

The situation was a little better. The rural warriors brought by Fan Chou saw the soldiers attacking the city as if they had seen a deadly enemy. They fought as if they were desperate for their lives. They forcibly killed the cattle with hoes and other crops and some blunt instruments.

The auxiliary's attack was repulsed, and while fighting, he was still replacing the weapons of the fallen soldiers scattered on the ground, which was very brave.

It was exactly when Niu Fu saw this scene that he shouted such a sentence.

With Niu Fu's voice, all the surrounding headquarters who were still on standby rushed out. Fan Chou and the others were at a disadvantage again. When Niu Fu's desperadoes heard that there was treasure to be taken, all of them turned red-eyed and became almost irresistible.

, and those villagers also wanted to defend their homes and families, and none of them would retreat. The battlefield once again became like purgatory, with countless casualties.

At this moment, at the east gate of Anding City, those in charge of attacking the city were the Huns' Thousand Cavalry Team and Thousand Horse Thieves who had surrendered to Niu Fu. They all dismounted and stormed the city gate. Therefore, the fighting at the east gate continued to advance.

The governor's office is in emergency.

But at this time, right at the rear of the siege force, where the Xiongnu Qianqi Commander was commanding, the Qianqi Commander fell off his horse.

After that, the general who beheaded a thousand cavalry commanders picked up the double-edged sword in his hand and pointed forward, and countless cavalry behind him had already rushed up, launching a fierce attack on the unprepared siege troops behind them.

"Leave a thousand people here to clear out the enemy! Follow me for the rest!" Zhang Chen saw that the battlefield was completely one-sided. Even though the opponent's troops were more powerful than his own, their eliteness was still far behind, so he felt free to take them with him.

The remaining 1,000 troops went to the other three gates to relieve the siege.

The Hu Leibao also exerted all its strength. Zhang Chen took the lead and ran towards the south gate quickly. The Qianqi Commander was also killed by Zhang Chen's surprise attack without any precautions.

At this time, the city wall of the south gate was once again lost. Under the full fighting of both sides, thousands of people left this world and went to the underworld in just a short time of burning incense.

Niu Fu chatted and laughed with several horse bandit leaders around him, pointing at the battlefield in the distance, and smiling from time to time. It seemed that this was more like a gambling game between them, rather than something for which countless soldiers lost their lives.

Cold weapon battlefield.

While they were still joking, a knight ran over with a frightened expression. Niu Fu and others also noticed it, and were watching and thinking about what kind of news the knight would bring. In Niu Fu's pupils,

The reflection of the galloping knight fell down.

"Humph, Niu Fu! Die!" Zhang Chen slashed to death the cavalryman who wanted to report the news. When he saw the instigator, he couldn't help but get angry, and the Thunder Leopard also increased its speed to the extreme.

"Zhang...Zhang Chen?!" Niu Fu had met Zhang Chen in Chang'an before. He was sent to Anding by Dong Zhuo because of Zhang Chen. Although he was very surprised that Zhang Chen would appear here, he still

He saw that there was no soldier behind Zhang Chen, and his enemies were extremely jealous when they saw him. He greeted the several horse thieves leaders and guards around him and rushed forward together.

Although he went deep alone, and even the fat Zhou Shi was left behind, Zhang Chen was not afraid of these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, unfolding his double-edged sword and fighting with them.

The first person to rush forward was Niu Fu's personal guard who wanted to make a meritorious service, but Zhang Chen just unfolded his long sword and flashed, and Niu Fu's personal guard was sent flying.

Immediately afterwards, several horse thieves' personal guards and Niu Fu's personal guards rushed up to form a semi-surrounding force. Zhang Chen slashed at the Hu Lei Leopard for a month and a half, even cutting off half of the man and his weapon. The double-edged sword really cut through iron.

mud.

Niu Fu and the rest of the people were surprised by Zhang Chen's bravery. Several horse thieves leaders did not dare to step forward and only urged their soldiers to step forward to resist Zhang Chen.

Although Zhang Chen's martial prowess is not as good as that of first-class generals such as Lu Bu and Guan Yu, he is still able to capture such horse thieves. The soldiers who intercepted Zhang Chen fell off their horses one after another, and Niu Fu also saw the opportunity and wanted to

Escape on horseback

Running, Zhang Chen kept staring at Niu Fu with his peripheral vision, how could he let him succeed? The sword in his left hand was aimed at Niu Fu and flew out, and then he held a single sword in both hands to fight against the soldiers, but Zhang Chen's single sword skills were compared to Guan Yu's

Far from it.

Zhang Chen was busy with the siege in front of him and did not look at Niu Fu again, but he heard a scream and the painful neighing of the horse. When he took a closer look, he found that the big knife had hit the horse's chrysanthemum, and Niu Fu was seriously injured.

He fell to the ground, but he didn't die.

Zhang Chen was about to rush forward and give Niu Fu a final blow, but Niu Fu's soldiers surrounded Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen couldn't get away for a while.

Ignoring the severe pain that seemed to shatter all the bones in his body, Niu Fu pulled out his sword and stabbed the leader of the horse thieves who was looking around in a daze, killing him, then mounted the frightened horse, turned around and ran away.

Several horse thieves leaders around were shocked. They reacted and wanted to question Niu Fu, but found that Niu Fu had already fled away. At this time, Zhou Shi and others also felt that when they saw Zhang Chen being surrounded, the horse thieves leaders rushed up.

Before it was too late, he became a lonely ghost and the rest of the soldiers were the same.

Zhang Chen turned around and saw that Niu Fu had fled far away. He couldn't help but secretly thought that it was a pity. However, when he turned around and saw that there were corpses all over the Anding City, the enemy and we were fighting inextricably. Zhang Chen waved his sword and all his cavalry came to support him. Only Zhou

Shi Huan stood guard beside Zhang Chen.

While Zhang Chen rode his horse to pick up another sword, Zihe's cavalry also rushed to the battlefield and joined the support battle.

"Master Taishou! It's reinforcements!" The local warriors around him saw Zhang Chen's cavalry and reminded Fan Chou.

Fan Chou kicked one of the rebels away. Looking along the battlefield, he saw a group of cavalry charging in from the rear of the rebels. The rebels were immediately thrown into chaos.

"What a great opportunity! Everyone lets go and kill! Our reinforcements are here!" Fan Chou took the lead personally, jumped into the already chaotic enemy army and started killing. The rebels who lost their command were completely defeated.

Under the encirclement of the defenders inside the city and Zhang Chen's troops outside the city, the enemy troops at the east gate and south gate were repulsed. Zihe led two thousand cavalry to the north gate and began to relieve the siege, while Niu Fu went to the west gate to summon

The remaining troops retreated to Xiliang City, the main city of Liangzhou, which was attacked by Beigong Yuling's army. Until the siege of Anding was completely lifted, only four or five thousand of the 40,000 troops retreated, and the rest were completely wiped out by the Xiliang army.

"General Zhang Chen!" Fan Chou saw Zhang Chen, who was directing his men to help set up defenses on the city top where the people were cleaning up and there were bloodstains and corpses everywhere.

Fan Chou was about to come over excitedly, but was stopped by the quilt and a gun pointed at him.

Fan Chou was surprised, but Zhang Chen asked Zihe to put down his gun, "Zihe, it's okay. This is the governor of Anding County and the prefect of Anding's main city, Mr. Fan Chou."

Zihe responded and stood behind Zhang Chen to continue guarding.

"Prefect Fan, I'm sorry for frightening you." Zhang Chen apologized to Zihe.

"Haha, it's okay, but it's true that General Zhang has such a right-hand man. He is really envious of others." Fan Chou looked at Zhou Shi and Zihe beside Zhang Chen. He knew from the look in their eyebrows that they were not ordinary people, and couldn't help but envy them.

If the fat man knew it, he would be speechless. Zihe was very silent, so that no one else could understand the depth of it. But the fat man had a good-natured face. How could he be considered a mortal?

The fat man was yawning on the side. At this time, Fan Chou was about to take Zhang Chen to the prefect's mansion to discuss the matter of quelling the rebellion. Zhang Chen asked his son and Zhou Shi to go down to rest. It was very safe in Anding City, and Zhang Chen was not helpless.

The powerful nerd is also followed by his own soldiers. If a cultivator comes, his aura will be noticed by the two of them.

The two agreed to retreat, and Zhang Chen also exchanged words with Fan Chou and walked towards the prefect's mansion. Along the way, people came out and cheered. Only with the liberation of Zhang Chen and others, they had a chance to return home alive.

While the whole city was cheering to celebrate the end of the war, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's troops also arrived in Anding City. After being stationed, they also began to help clean the battlefield to prevent the outbreak of the plague, especially as the population density in Anding City greatly exceeded the limit.
