Sui and Tang Dynasty Generals

Chapter 108 The Drumming of West City

"What? Why are there enemy troops outside the camp?"

To the west of the Fen River, in another front camp of the bandits, many captains who had learned the news gathered together with a puzzled look on their faces.

The order they received was to defend the West City!

At this moment, news came from the camp east of the Fen River that a Sui army ambush attacked the camp at night.

"Should we cross the river to reinforce the camp?"

Inside the camp, the captains of the bandits could not help but look at the two captains, waiting for the captains to make a decision.

"If we cross the river, I'm afraid West City will take the opportunity to send troops out of the city! And before the general divided his troops, he also set up another elite force to ambush in the north. We only need to stay outside West City!"

A captain was the first to express his opinion.

The other captain also nodded when he heard this. Compared with Jinyang West City, the deployment against Jinyang East City on the other side of the river was even more rigorous.

Under such circumstances, it would not be the turn of the defenders here to cross the river to provide reinforcements.

"Report!!!"

Suddenly, a soldier ran into the tent in a hurry and reported to the captain, lieutenant and others.

"News came from the main camp that General Yang was captured by the Sui army! All the defenders in the main camp fled!"

The rebel soldiers spoke under the gaze of everyone.

After hearing the report from the soldiers, before everyone could be shocked and wonder why the elite ambush troops in the north did not appear, another rebel soldier came running over, panting and pointing in the direction of the east city with a panicked look.

"Sui army, Sui army has crossed the river!!!"

Hearing this, the two captains and other captains quickly came to their senses, looked at each other, and walked out of the tent in panic.

West City of Jinyang.

At this moment, news came from the top of the city that a fire broke out for the second time in the bandit camp on the distant plain east of the Fen River. Wen Dayou, Zhang Pinggao, Xu Shixu, Zhao Wenke and others who had been discussing the situation on the top of the city also heard the exclamations from the soldiers.

When a few people from Deng Wenda looked up, they saw that on the other side of the river, outside the wall of the East City, there were dense crowds of people holding torches, and huge crowds of people were rushing towards the Fen River.

This scene directly frightened several people in Wen University.

How is this going?

Why are there so many people and so many torches!
Are they the people of Dongcheng?
But why would the people of East City all cross the river at this time? You should know that there are still 10,000 bandits on the west side of the river. If the bandits from Hedong suddenly attack the people from behind and take the opportunity to seize the city, and surround the people together with the bandits from Hexi, I am afraid that those people will have no way to survive.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

Not to mention Zhao Wenke, Xu Shixu had a puzzled expression on his face, and even Zhang Pinggao and Wen Dayou couldn't figure it out.

"Zihou would never do this for no reason..."

Wen Dayou frowned for two breaths, then quickly looked at the soldiers beside him.

"Give the order to sound the drums! Assemble the troops! Quick!"

Wen Dayou gave the order.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers guarding the city hurriedly ran to the place where the drums were beating and started beating the drums hard.

moment.

The entire West City was filled with dense drum sounds. The drum sounds not only resounded through the dim sky, but also spread to every place inside and outside the city.

When the soldiers in the city heard the drumbeats, they hurriedly stood up and began to assemble.

The people of West City were also awakened from their dreams by the sound of drums, including men and women from prominent families, as well as officials such as Jiang Baoyi, Liu Wenjing, Pei Ji, etc., who had gathered together to discuss matters after waking up in the middle of the night. After hearing the drums, all of them looked towards the top of the city wall, noticed some movement, and quickly got up and left.

On the Fen River.

The water in early spring is still freezing, but for the people of East City, they will not stop even if they fall into the water.

Fu Zihou, Hu Jingyuan and Yin Tianzong led all the soldiers of Yingyang Prefecture and were the first to cross the river from the pontoon bridge.

The sound of drums was heard from the west city.

At this moment, not only Fu Zihou, Hu Jingyuan, Yin Tianzong and others were all looking towards West City, but countless East City residents were also excited.

"You go into the city first!"

Fu Zihou looked at Cui Wenjin and said softly.

"What about you?"

When Cui Wenjin heard Fu Zihou's words, his heart tightened and he looked at Fu Zihou.

"I am a captain of the Sui Dynasty, and also a man of this place. There are still bandits outside the city, so we cannot enter the city first. We have to protect you and let you enter the city first!" Fu Zihou said softly.

Just a few words, spoken lightly, softened the hearts of Cui Wenjin and Di. Even the other people who heard it couldn't help but look at Fu Zihou with red eyes.

In this world, there are few people who can touch the hearts of the people like Fu Zihou.

In the past, cruel officials only knew how to exploit the people, and there were also many bandits who treated the women, children and young children as food. At this moment, everyone was so sad that they burst into tears when they heard this young captain say that he would let them enter the city and that he would lead the soldiers to cover the rear to defend against the 10,000 bandits on the West City Plain.

How much good fortune did they have to deserve such a position as a captain?

"Be careful! I'll be waiting for you in the city!"

Cui Wenjin knew that she couldn't stop Fu Zihou, and she also knew Fu Zihou's character, so she could only express her feelings in a simple sentence.

Fu Zihou nodded and watched Cui Wenjin lead Di and other civilians towards the west city. He saw Di's seductive eyes staring at him. Then he took Hu Jingyuan and other soldiers, all dropped their torches, and walked south without hesitation.

At this moment, on the plain south of West City.

The bandit army of 10,000 strong had already assembled, and under the command of their respective captains and colonels, they all came to the plain.

Listening to the drums beating in the west city and watching the people of the east city crossing the river in an endless stream.

The two rebel captains knew that they could not sit idly by, so they ordered the entire army to charge towards the West City without hesitation. At all costs, they must not let the defenders and civilians of the East City enter the city.

In the eyes of the two rebel captains, the capture of General Yang Boyue might not be their business, but if the defenders and civilians of East City were allowed to enter West City, they would be blamed and would be punished by General Zhen Zhai'er.

at the moment.

They could only pray that the elite ambush troops in the north would appear earlier when they sent troops to attack the Sui army in the east city and even the west city.

No matter what the result was at that time, win or lose, as captains, they had done their best.

As the sound of the bandit army's drums echoed over the plain, the eastern sky began to turn faintly white.

On the West City Plain.

The bandit army rushed towards the west city.

And on the hazy plain, the bandit army was running and killing with torches in their hands.

In front.

Figures holding swords and knives suddenly appeared in the eyes of the rebel soldiers. The unprepared rebel soldiers were all frightened and wanted to stop, but it was too late.

"kill!"

Fu Zihou wiped the blood off his sword with his palm, looked at the incoming army of bandits, and the moment he opened his mouth, he rushed forward with his sword in hand.

"kill!!!"

"kill!!"

Seeing this, Hu Jingyuan, Yin Tianzong and others followed Fu Zihou without hesitation and rushed towards the bandit army without hesitation.

Just behind Hu Jingyuan and others, hundreds of arrows were shot at the bandits holding torches, and bandit soldiers were shot and fell one after another.

"kill!!"

Amid the sounds of endless fighting all around, Fu Zihou rushed forward with his sword in hand. Every time he swept his sword, blood splattered.

The bandits were numerous and powerful, but Fu Zihou and the Sui army soldiers behind him had just won a great victory and were already in high spirits.

With the help of his premonition and his sword skills, Fu Zihou was able to continuously kill people and break through the enemy's formations in the chaos. No matter if the attacks came from any direction, front, back, or around him, Fu Zihou was able to avoid them.

Just a moment.

When the rebel soldiers saw Fu Zihou, they were all frightened and retreated.

There were also many bandits and warriors who wanted to make great achievements. They came forward with weapons in hand to fight with Fu Zihou, but without exception, their faces changed drastically when faced with Fu Zihou's swordsmanship. They were either killed or retreated with injuries.

One strong man desperately seized the opportunity, and when Fu Zihou was killing a rebel soldier, he pounced on him, trying to knock Fu Zihou down.

However, before he could hug Fu Zihou, his neck was pierced by a sharp sword.

Finally, as the sword was pulled out, the sturdy man knelt on the ground, covering his neck with his hands, feeling the piercing coldness all over his body, and finally fell to the ground.

On the top of the West City.

Seeing that the defenders of East City had already engaged in battle with the bandit army, Wen Dayou, Zhang Pinggao and others, after the soldiers had gathered, hurried to the city gate to the sound of drums.

After driving the people who had entered the city to retreat to the side, Wen Dayou, Zhang Pinggao, Xu Shixu, Zhao Wenke and others led the mighty Yingyang Mansion cavalry and the recruited soldiers from Xicheng, rushed out of the city gate, and charged towards the army of bandits on the plain outside the city.

In the city road.

Jiang Baoyi, Liu Wenjing and Xu Shixu all watched this scene nervously.
