The Return of the Demon

In the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Tianlun looked at Kang Xiao's shocked face and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Kang Xiao was awakened by the laughter and looked at him like an idiot. Is this guy sick? Those grains and grass were yours, but now they were taken away by Ning Chen's people. Is this worth being happy about?

Zhang Tianlun straightened his back and said with a smile: "Mr. Kang, there are no people of yours in the city now... Your 20,000 troops outside the East City Gate cannot enter.

Even if I give you mountains of gold and silver, you can't carry them away with the one or two thousand people under your command.

So, I'd better keep this imperial seal myself, and don't bother Mr. Kang."

Kang Xiao's face was grim, "My troops did fail, but your food and grass also fell into the hands of Ning Chen's people. I don't know what you are happy about?"

Zhang Tianlun said indifferently: "You just said that when I left Daxuanjing City, more than a dozen warships carrying money and food were almost sunk. Do you think I would care about this little food and grass?

Mr. Kang, I think In the current situation, we should work together and face the outside world together. "

Kang Xiao sneered, "To be honest, the soldiers under your command have no fighting spirit and low morale, and they can't stop Ning Chen's army at all."

Zhang Tianlun said seriously: "That's not necessarily true. I have sent people to recall the 30,000 defenders at the North Gate to intercept Ning Chen's army from the South Gate.

As for the West Gate, I have arranged catapults and explosive packs, and more than 10,000 archers. Ning Chen will have to pay a heavy price if he wants to attack.

Mr. Kang, we only need to open the East Gate now, let your 20,000 troops at the gate enter the city, and join forces with my army. It's not that we don't have the strength to fight Ning Chen. "

Kang Xiao opened his mouth and wanted to mock Zhang Tianlun, but finally held back.

Zhang Tianlun is not good at fighting. He has only one famous general named Guan Zhou, and he was transferred to an island... Now the soldiers in the city have no fighting spirit, and Xiangzhou can't be defended.

It's better to pretend to join forces with him, and after leaving the city, first join the 20,000 South Vietnamese army outside the city, and then rob the gold and silver treasures in the dozen carriages and return to South Vietnam.

Kang Xiao nodded, "Your Majesty is right. At this time, we should not fight among ourselves. We should unite and deal with Ning Chen together."

Zhang Tianlun smiled.

The reason why he said to join forces was just to stabilize Zhang Tianlun.

He wanted to evacuate from the East Gate, but there were 20,000 South Vietnamese troops outside the East Gate. Once Kang Xiao interfered, it would definitely affect his escape plan.

Zhang Tianlun waved his hand and ordered: "Zhou Xing, take those dozen carriages, we..."

Before he could withdraw, a soldier panicked and stumbled into the yard, shouting in fear: "Your Majesty, it's not good, Your Majesty, it's not good..."

Zhang Tianlun's face turned black. What did he mean by "not good"?

The soldier trembled and said: "Your Majesty, the 30,000 troops at the north gate were intercepted by the enemy, and the situation is not favorable to our army."

Zhang Tianlun's face suddenly changed, and he was so gloomy that he almost dripped water.

Immediately, he frowned slightly and wondered: "This is not right. Ning Chen's army attacked from the south gate. They should be fighting with Mr. Kang's people now. Where did the people who intercepted the 30,000 troops at the north gate come from?"

The soldier hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the west gate has been lost."

Zhang Tianlun's head buzzed, his eyes went black, his body shook, and he almost fell headfirst.

Seeing this, Zhou Xing quickly supported him and comforted him: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Kang Xiao was also shocked. The West Gate was lost?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible..." Zhang Tianlun suddenly roared, "There are 30,000 troops at the West Gate, and there are catapults and explosive packs, as well as 20,000 archers. How could it be lost without any movement?"

The soldier said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, it was General Yan Zhuoying. He surrendered and took the initiative to open the city gate to welcome Ning Chen into the city."

Zhang Tianlun rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

Not to mention Zhang Tianlun, even Zhou Xing and other guards were dumbfounded.

No one expected that Yan Zhuoying surrendered directly.

Kang Xiao looked at Zhang Tianlun's pale face, and couldn't help but laugh at the gloating in his heart.

He knew it was inappropriate, but he couldn't help it... I believe Zhang Tianlun can understand him. After all, when he heard that his troops suffered heavy casualties, Zhang Tianlun laughed happily.

Zhang Tianlun looked gloomy and glanced at Kang Xiao coldly.

Kang Xiao pulled the corner of his mouth, disdainful, and even asked: "Your Majesty, why don't you laugh? Are you born not to laugh?"

Zhang Tianlun almost spit out a mouthful of blood, it was murderous!

But he had to endure it, after all, when he was gloating just now, he laughed loudly.

"Mr. Kang, the South Gate and the West Gate have been lost, and the 30,000 troops at the North Gate may not be able to get through... Now, we can only cooperate sincerely to fight against Ning Chen."

Kang Xiao put away his gloating and nodded repeatedly, "Your Majesty is right, the city is no longer safe now, we will withdraw from the East Gate first... There are your 10,000 garrisons at the East Gate, and my 20,000 troops outside the city.

When the time comes, we will fight Ning Chen to the death outside the city."

Zhang Tianlun nodded, "Mr. Kang is right!"

Zhou Xing quietly rolled his eyes, thinking, who are you acting for? Fighting to the death with Ning Chen is simply nonsense.

These two people clearly wanted to find a suitable reason to escape, but they still said it so righteously, don't push your face.

Zhang Tianlun said: "Zhou Xing, take those dozen carriages, we..."

"Report..."

Zhang Tianlun's words were interrupted again.

A soldier ran into the yard and shouted: "Your Majesty, it's not good, Your Majesty, it's not good..."

Zhang Tianlun's face was so ugly.

Everyone's heart was shocked, it seemed to be bad news again.

The soldier said in panic: "Your Majesty, the East Gate has been lost."

Zhang Tianlun could no longer bear the blow, his eyes rolled, his legs softened, and he fell to the ground with a plop.

Everyone present changed their faces and were in panic.

The East Gate was also lost, Ning Chen was really fast.

Kang Xiao regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. If he had known earlier that he should not have been greedy to rob the City Lord's Mansion after robbing Zhang Tianlun's baggage camp, he should have evacuated directly from the East Gate.

Now, he was completely blocked in the city by Ning Chen.

Kang Xiao asked: "The one attacking the East Gate was Ning Chen's Ning'an Army, right?"

The soldier nodded in panic, "Yes!"

Kang Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Sure enough, only the Ning'an Army can have such a fast speed."

The key is that the East Border Army had no fighting spirit. Yue Congyun was ordered to lead 2,000 Ning'an Army, fast horses and light cavalry, to raid the East Gate.

2,000 Ning'an Army fought against the opponent's 10,000 troops and won easily.

When Mu Anbang arrived with 20,000 troops, Yue Congyun had successfully controlled the East Gate.
