Chapter 442 My Lord, let’s retreat quickly!
"tread!"
"tread!"
The dull sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and under the dark night, countless moving black shadows were constantly running in the wilderness outside the city. Dian Wei also had a look of deep shock on his face.
"They actually have cavalry?"
"Not surprising."
Wei Jin narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "In recent years, the Lu family has been absolutely lawless in Changyan and Beihe counties. Not to mention some war horses, what can't they do with the Lu family's hundreds of years of experience?"
"Fortunately, there are not many cavalry."
"General Dian, do you have any strategy for facing the enemy?"
Hearing Wei Jin's question, Dian Wei grinned and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wei, my lord has already arranged everything."
As soon as he finished speaking, a rough voice sounded from behind. Xu Chu carried Chi You's waterfall fragments and strode up to the tower. He looked at Dian Wei and said, "Evil comes, I brought more than a thousand county soldiers to help."
"Hahaha, Zhong Kang, there are more than 30,000 rebels. Your more than 1,000 people are not enough for them to charge!"
"Pooh!"
Xu Chu's eyes showed a trace of disdain: "Is it possible that you can stop the 30,000 rebels outside the city with more than 5,000 coward soldiers under your command?"
Wei Jin couldn't help but cough in embarrassment as he listened to the conversation between the two of them. Nowadays, the two of them are surrounded by government soldiers transferred from all over the country. They are the only two who call them cowards in front of others... …
"Generals, prepare to meet the enemy."
As the movement below the tower became louder and louder, the blurry figures got closer and closer. Dian Wei's face also showed a bit of solemnity, and he subconsciously looked at Xu Chu.
"Damn it."
"Are these really rebels?"
"Look at the armor on their bodies, they are no less impressive than our army of Dayu."
"This battle is a bit difficult to fight!"
Xu Chu sighed sadly, and Wei Jin also looked a little worried. Now the city is full of resources, and there are only more than 6,000 county soldiers. Not to mention the combat power, even the guys in hand can't compare with the rebels below the city tower. !
"They probably don't have siege engines."
"At most, set up a few ladders."
As soon as Xu Chu finished speaking, he saw four city assault vehicles pushed to the front in the square formation below, seemingly ready to launch an attack at any time.
"Siege the city!"
Under the dark night, a low shout was heard, and then, earth-shattering shouts of killing suddenly broke out, waking up countless sleeping people in the city. Ning Fan in the Lu Mansion also instantly heard the movement outside, and the people in the Lu Mansion. The battle is finally over.
"My lord, Lu Wenhan escaped from the city through a secret passage."
"Um!"
Ning Fan was not surprised or panicked, and said calmly: "There should have been a fight outside, right?"
"Lord, the rebels are so numerous that we don't have enough people and resources in the city... How about..."
Jiang Wei was very worried about Ning Fan's safety. Now the rebels suddenly launched an attack on the city, which completely exceeded their expectations. Unexpectedly, the Lu Mansion had already made preparations.
However, looking at his lord's face, he didn't seem to be sitting still and waiting for death. He fixed his gaze closely on him. As long as his lord gave the order, he would fight to the death with him out of the city.
"Lord?"
"Let's go to the tower together."
…
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The dull sound of war drums resounded throughout this land where there had been no war for a hundred years, and Ning Fan also led a group of Jin Yiwei and Xiao Longnu to the tower of Changyan.
"Lord!"
Seeing Ning Fan's figure, everyone saluted one after another. Dian Wei was directing the county soldiers on the tower to organize defense. A rain of arrows poured from the sky and landed on the tower.
It also officially heralded the beginning of the rebel siege below. Four siege vehicles, surrounded by dozens of rebels, arrived under the city tower.
"Kill!"
Ning Fan looked in a direction on the west side of the tower and saw more than a dozen vague figures charging towards the dark rebel formation. In just a short moment, it caused a commotion.
"The Eighteenth Cavalry of Yanyun?"
There was a look of surprise on Dian Wei's face. He didn't expect that his lord would bring Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry here, but now there are thirty thousand rebels. Not to mention Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry, even if they come again Eighteen riders can't turn the tide of the battle!
"Zhuge Liannu, shoot!"
Jiang Wei commanded a group of Jinyi guards, holding Zhuge Liannu, aiming at the charging rebels below.
The first wave of attacking soldiers had already climbed up the ladder and attacked the tower in twos and threes. Dian Wei waved his halberds and blocked the first line of defense of the tower.
"Lord!"
At this moment, not only Jiang Wei couldn't sit still, but also Xu Chu's face showed a bit of worry, while Xiao Longnu stood quietly beside Ning Fan without saying a word.
"hold on."
Ning Fan looked at the dark army below, and there was no panic on his face. In these short two years, his qi-nurturing skills had made great progress. He dare not say that his face would not change even if Mount Tai collapsed. At least, he could do that. Be methodical and fearless in the face of danger.
"Dong, release the system mission: counterinsurgency!"
"Mission time limit: ten days!"
"Mission requirements: Destroy the rebels led by the Lu family and maintain the stability of Dayu's northern border."
"Mission reward: 1,000 merit points, a Pre-Qin summoning card, and a troop summoning card!"
Hearing the system prompt sound that suddenly sounded in his mind, Ning Fan's lips curled up slightly. He had waited for the first one, but if he hadn't waited for the second one yet, then he would wait a little longer!
Time passed bit by bit, but for Dian Wei and others, it was a great pressure.
Because every quarter of an hour of waiting was a great risk for the safety of the lord.
"Report!"
"Your Highness, there is another rebel army in the south of the city, about 20,000 troops, only 20 miles away from Changyan City."
"Lord!"
Hearing the report from the Jinyiwei, Jiang Li finally couldn't help it: "Let Dian Wei and General Xu Chu escort you out, leave this to us."
"Wait a little longer!"
Ning Fan was still not in a hurry, like an old monk in meditation, watching more and more rebels rushing up the tower, raised his foot forward, and his calm voice spread throughout the tower: "My fellow soldiers, the Lu family is plotting rebellion, and I will live and die with you."
"Fight to the death."
Ning Fan's voice successfully aroused the morale of the 6,000 county soldiers on the tower, and the fierce fighting has moved to the tower. If this continues, the tower will be lost in at most three quarters of an hour!
"My Lord!"
Dian Wei and Xu Chu could no longer sit still, and said with a worried look: "If Chang Yan is surrounded by the rebels, I am not sure I can escort you out!"
"E Lai, Zhong Kang!"
Ning Fan looked at the two with a smile, and said calmly and confidently: "Have you forgotten that I have led troops and fought on the battlefield, and I have seen all kinds of battles?"
