"If this continues..."

At the top of Juhe City, Zheng Yuanyun was directing the battle while thinking.

As the battle progressed, it was inevitable that his troops began to suffer losses.

Ouyang Lixing either didn't attack, but once he attacked, he would go crazy. The wave after wave of attacks overwhelmed Zheng Yuanyun.

But the situation was still within his tolerance.

Just a little longer... Just a little longer...

Zheng Yuanyun looked up at the sky and smiled bitterly in his heart.

It's been a long day, but luckily it's almost over.

Zheng Yuanyun looked coldly outside the city. Ouyang Lixing was still directing the soldiers to attack his city gate. Looking at him like this, it seemed that he didn't feel the impending crisis at all?

"very good!"

A cruel smile appeared on Zheng Yuanyun's face. He glanced around and saw that his troops were still sufficient. He believed that there would be no problem in defending for another day or two.

But now there is no need to defend for so long, reinforcements will arrive soon!

In the process of defending the city, Zheng Yuanyun saw the phoenix-wing-shaped flaming arrows that occasionally exploded. Although the meaning of these flaming arrows was not very clear, Zheng Yuanyun believed that the soldiers would block the water and flood the city.

No matter what conspiracy the other party had, he could just stick to one line and defend Juhe City. With this general premise unchanged, Zheng Yuanyun also fired three sounding arrows to urge Ma Hui's reinforcements.

Fortunately, the other person who fired his ringing arrow also didn't know what it meant, and Zheng Yuanyun quickly received a response from Ma Hui. The information in the ringing arrow told him that they were already very close, and it would take about half an hour or so.

, will appear within the surrounding area of ​​Iai City.

Half an hour!

This news made Zheng Yuanyun clenched his fists fiercely, and suddenly he felt a sense of joy after suffering.

He only needs to hold on for another half hour, and once reinforcements from Ma Hui's side arrive, then...

Zheng Yuanyun would never doubt whether he could withstand such a question for half an hour. He would not even think about it, because it would simply insult himself.

What we have to do now is to survive this half hour, and while we are defending, we can also start to secretly plan our counterattack.

Zheng Yuanyun never thought of letting Ouyang Lixing leave.

Since you are going to fight him, so good, you have to be prepared to be hit back, instead of just forgetting that you can't fight him, you can also retreat to stay safe.

Furthermore, the tortoise-shell Tianyuan City is really a problem. Instead of letting Ouyang Lixing go back to defend the city and spending a lot of time and troops to attack the city, it would be better to solve it here.

As soon as the reinforcements arrive, Zheng Yuanyun's own troops will suddenly swell to nearly four million. Facing Ouyang Lixing's already depleted troops, he doesn't think there will be any suspense!

So, right now.

Just when Zheng Yuanyun began to plan the pursuit, an urgent warning sound of golden gongs suddenly came from the city.

Hearing this voice, Zheng Yuanyun looked slightly startled. When he turned around in confusion, his heart suddenly felt as if he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, shaking his whole body.

In the city?

No, the sound came from inside the city, but this warning sound should have come from further back inside the city... from the rear city gate!

Thinking of this, Zheng Yuanyun's heart trembled. After listening carefully, he found that this was indeed the warning and rescue alarm agreed with Xu Tianci!

Once this bell rings, that is to say, the back gate of Iihe City...

"Quick, send someone over to see what's going on!"

Zheng Yuanyun suddenly shouted, and then changed his words: "Come back and ask Hu Tianyang to bring 50,000 people there, and they must guard it for me no matter what!"

The alarm bell has sounded. Now it is enough to send people over to take a look. Zheng Yuanyun also suddenly reacted. The most important thing now is to quickly send people over to defend.

Fortunately, he had already arranged for the pursuit, and he had already withdrawn some of his troops from the top of the city and began to gather at the city gate. It was just right that he could send them to the rear gate to assist in the defense.

at the same time……

"It shouldn't be!"

Zheng Yuanyun frowned. Of course he remembered clearly what troops he deployed at the rear city gate, and Xu Tianci was also one of his favorite generals, a person he could trust.

His original order to Xu Tianci was for him to lead the heavy cavalry to defend the rear city gate. Once an enemy was discovered, he would have the heavy cavalry charge and respond by attacking instead of defending.

But in this charge, Zheng Yuanyun also emphasized that the pursuit must not be too deep. Xu Tianci's main and only mission was still to ensure that the rear city gate was not lost.

Zheng Yuanyun believed that Xu Tianci would faithfully carry out his orders. Therefore, compared to the other three city gates, Zheng Yuanyun was most at ease at the rear city gate.

First, most of Ouyang Lixing's military strength was on the surface. If he had ideas about the rear city gate, as long as there was a slight change in the military strength, Zheng Yuanyun would definitely receive the news.

And in fact...he really received the news.

Just when the alarm bell rang and Zheng Yuanyun sent people to defend, messages were sent to him from the garrison on the left and right sides of the city almost at the same time, warning Zheng Yuanyun that there was a part of the city on the left and right.

The siege troops began to move towards the rear gate.

However, the return of this news failed to resolve Zheng Yuanyun's doubts.

Separated some siege troops?

With the attack power of the heavy cavalry, unless Ouyang Lixing sends most of his troops to the rear city gate, then he can pose a threat to the heavy cavalry. If Ouyang Lixing really does this, he is not a fool, of course he will

He also adjusted his troop allocation at the first opportunity.

Little did he know that Xu Tianci was indeed faithfully executing the orders he had given him. Even if he was chasing the light cavalry, he had set a limit for himself before he could pursue them to a certain extent before returning.

However, perhaps even Xu Tianci himself did not expect that the extent of his pursuit was actually expanded due to Chen Shen's superb acting skills.

What Zheng Yuanyun couldn't even imagine, and what he didn't dare to think about, was that at the same time that the rear city gate sent a warning, it was actually the time when... the city gate was breached.

He just sent troops to support him at this moment, how could it be too late?

Zheng Yuanyun didn't know the reason for this problem, but from the actions of Ouyang Lixing's troops outside the city, his face became increasingly ugly.

What did he see?

He saw that Ouyang Lixing was withdrawing his troops!

If it were before, Zheng Yuanyun would be happy to see the opponent withdraw their troops, which means that his defense was in place and he would directly let the opponent give up and leave.

But now, will Ouyang Lixing's withdrawal mean he will leave?

Since one of the city gates has been breached, there is no need for Ouyang Lixing to continue to attack the unbreached city gates. Why should he lose his troops in vain?
