The sound of alarm bells rang along the towers one after another in the city, and in a short time it spread throughout the county city. The county town, which was still noisy just now, fell into silence in an instant, and everyone was shocked. After experiencing the initial fear of war, with good news coming one after another, the people of Yuquan once thought that the war had gone far away from them. But the sound of alarm bells at this moment shattered their hope of luck.

After a moment of silence, with a bang, the entire city seemed to be a huge beehive being pierced by external forces, and countless people roared and rushed towards their homes.

The entire Yuquan County city was in chaos.

On the city wall, Pang Jun's face turned pale. Although he could not see the enemy's traces, he could only tell how many enemies were with his rich experience.

At least, there are no less than five thousand cavalrymen approaching Yuquan County.

But this should be the vanguard of the enemy. The main force with 5,000 cavalry as its vanguard is, Pang Jun naturally knows what size it is.

"General Pang, what should I do?" Chen Du's face turned pale, his fists tightly shaking, his body trembling slightly. To be honest, if Pang Jun hadn't been here, he really wanted to get off the city wall immediately, climb up and take his guards to escape from here.

I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs running! Hearing the sound of horse hooves rumbled like thunder, Chen Du suddenly felt that the idea of ​​having to hold on for a few days was so unrealistic.

"What else can I do? Get ready for the battle!" Pang Jun glanced at Chen Du, knowing that the county magistrate must have been frightened.

"Can you stand it?"

"Do your best and leave your destiny!" Pang Jun did not want to tell lies. He turned to look at the city wall. The city was very messy. Some soldiers rushed to the city wall, some were carrying arrows, pounding wood, and rolling stones. Some were setting fires on the top of the city to start boiling water. This was all for the preparation for defending the city. He had been here for a long time and still made a lot of achievements. But there were also soldiers, like headless flies, howled around in panic.

Several panicked soldiers actually ran to them. Pang Jun waved his scabbard without thinking and knocked all the soldiers to the ground without thinking. Then he choked, pulled out his knife and shouted loudly: "Those who do not obey the military orders will be killed without mercy!"

His roar calmed the soldiers on the city wall a little. Over the past month, the little military discipline that Pang Jun trained with all his strength finally had achieved some results, which made him feel a little comforted.

He looked down at the soldiers lying at his feet. A look of disgust flashed in Pang Jun's eyes. It was really a mud that could not be supported by the wall. If such a soldier appeared in the eastern border troops, no matter the officer, his first reaction was to draw his sword and chop it.

But here, he knew that it would not work. If he had not fought, he would cut them down. He was afraid that the morale would not be exciting, but would be even more disintegrating. After all, these people were not considered real troops.

The slightly decent one is the county soldier.

It’s a pity that more than 100,000 eastern border troops were destroyed in Luzhou. If there were border troops under his command, even if there were only one or two thousand people, Pang Jun felt that he could still defend Yuquan County City. But now, he only had ten people, and what he had to rely on was the waste in his eyes.

Pang Jun felt that it would not take long before he would meet with the brothers who died.

"Minister of the County, I am in the city. Please go and comfort the city!" Pang Jun bowed to Chen Du. He could see that Chen Du was very scared.

"Okay, then, let's rely on the general in the city." Chen Du nodded repeatedly.

"If you can't stand it here, the county magistrate can go by himself." Pang Jun suddenly lowered his voice and said to Chen Du. When he came to Yuquan County City, Chen Du, as the guard of a county, respected him very much. In Pang Jun's view, if the Qi army launched a large-scale attack, Yuquan would definitely not be able to defend it. Chen Du was just a civil servant, and staying here was just a dead end. Pang Jun thought it was very good that a civil servant could achieve his current level, at least not a waste snack.

Chen Du's eyes were hot. He wanted to say that he was willing to share life and death with the general and destiny. The city was in his place and the city was destroyed and the people were destroyed. But he kept saying this. He bowed to Pang Jun with mixed feelings, "General Pang, where are you?"

Pang Jun smiled: "Of course, he will die with the city."

Chen Du didn't dare to look at Pang Jun again, so he turned around and walked down the city, but in his heart he cursed himself into a pile of shit.

Following the inclined ladder, he had just walked down a few steps when Pang Jun's voice suddenly came from the city wall: "Mr. Chen, wait a moment, come back soon."

Chen Du's heart was so shocked. Could it be that Pang Jun changed his mind again and wanted to join forces to perish with the city together?

He turned his head and looked at Pang Jun. Pang Jun was trembling, but his face was filled with surprise expressions, "The Huofeng Army is the Huofeng Army, our own army."

Chen Du's head buzzed, and for a moment, his mind was completely blank, but he ran back in three steps in two steps, stood beside Pang Jun, and looked around.

In his vision, endless cavalry were rushing towards him, but at this moment, he felt not fear, but joy. The flag of Da Chu and the phoenix flag were flying high, and the fiery red battle flag shone brightly in the sun. It was the Fire Phoenix Army.

"No wonder the scouts I sent did not come back." Pang Jun suddenly realized that they had encountered their own army. Thinking of this, Pang Jun was a little amused and crying. After all, they were just some scattered soldiers. If they were in the eastern border army, even if this was the case, shouldn't the scouts return to the team immediately and report the information to Shangguan?

I am afraid that these scouts were so happy that they even forgot who they were when they saw the Huo Fengjun.

He's really a bastard! Pang Jun cursed in his heart.

Above the city wall, there was a jubilant sound. When everyone saw the flag of the Fire Phoenix Army, they knew that Yuquan County was safe. The Fire Phoenix Army was in Da Chu, but it was even stronger than the eastern border army.

Chen Du's eyes were so hot that if he hadn't been forced to bear it, he would have been afraid that tears would come down. His persistence would finally be rewarded.

The Fire Phoenix Army is back!

Of course, they did not come out after hardships, because they did not encounter the Qi army along the way. On their way back, the Qi army seemed to have a tacit understanding, and almost took the initiative to make way for them, and even the battle between scouts did not happen, because when the Qi army scouts saw the Chu army scouts, they immediately rushed to the distance.

In fact, the route chosen by the Fire Phoenix Army is quite dangerous, with blockages in front and pursuers behind, and both front and back, left and right, all enemies. In the eyes of ordinary generals, this is naturally an unattainable plan, but in the eyes of senior generals like Luo Hu, they naturally know that the reason for this problem is not military, but political.

The emperor's suspicion about Cheng Wuben has reached an unprecedented height. He would rather risk his life and fight for a path of blood than safely walk into Cheng Wuben's trap.

Yes, trap, that's what the emperor thinks.

But the road was too strange, Luo Hu couldn't figure it out. The Qi people didn't bother them at all. Even before their army arrived, the Qi army in front had already moved away from the way.

It is not entirely true that the Qi people were afraid of the Fire Phoenix Army. Luo Hu knew that behind the main force of the Fire Phoenix Army, there was a Qi cavalry hanging from about ten thousand cavalry, but their actions did not seem to be a decisive battle with the Fire Phoenix Army, but it seemed like they were escorting them. They seemed to be watching the army leave the six eastern counties.

This feeling made Luo Hu very uncomfortable and humiliating.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and one day we will come back. The generals of the Fire Phoenix Army are extremely proud, but they have to endure this humiliation now.

In this situation, the senior generals of the Chu army were strange and finally attributed the reason to the excessive destruction of An Ruhai in Qi's borders. Qi was most likely unable to withstand An Ruhai's style of fighting, so they could only concentrate their troops to destroy An Ruhai first, which made it impossible for them to gather their main forces to encircle and annihilate the Fire Phoenix Army.

After all, the strength of the Fire Phoenix Army is not comparable to that of ordinary Chu Army.

After reaching this conclusion, Huo Fengjun felt a little better, but his respect for An Ruhai rose to a new level. Correspondingly, they were now angry at Cheng Wuben.

They are both important officials of the country, but An Ruhai and Cheng Wuben's choices are completely different.

At least, Luo Hu and the generals thought so. In their minds, Cheng Wuben's degree of rebellion was not much different.

The Huofeng Army is not an eastern border army. The eastern border army regards Cheng Wuben as a god-like existence, but the Huofeng Army has always been the personal army of the emperor. Naturally, he is not convinced by Cheng Wuben, a guy called the Iron Wall of Chu.

The iron wall of Chu State, this is a nice saying, but a bad saying, it is called the turtle shell. This is what the generals of the Fire Phoenix Army always think of Cheng Wuben.

The six eastern counties were gone. This was an ironic fact. Luo Hu originally thought that Yuquan County must have been gone. But at present, Yuquan County, which stood in front of him, was still flying the flag of the Great Chu, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. Although the Fire Phoenix Army had not fought any wars along the way, there was no logistics and supplies. They urgently needed to replenish food and weapons. Yuquan was still there, so there was everything.
