Lord Moyu was forced to open

"Khan, please drink some water."

Heading to a certain wilderness in Ankang City, a tribal cavalry handed his water bag to Seng Ge.

Seng Ge was not polite, he took it casually, took a sip and returned it.

Reaching out to wipe the water from his mouth, Seng Ge asked, "How far are we from Ankang City?"

The cavalryman screwed up the cap of the water bag and replied: "It should be less than two hundred miles away."

Seng Ge nodded and calculated the distance. If they were infantry, it would take them two or three days at the fastest to reach the distance of two hundred miles. However, they were cavalry, so they estimated that it would only take a day and a half at most.

From the time when the troops gathered here and came here, he was elected as the commander-in-chief of 500,000 cavalry. Because their tribe was the strongest and sent the most troops among all tribes, he was well-deserved to be the commander-in-chief.

Since setting off, in order to get here as quickly as possible, he has been working non-stop all the way so that he can get here so quickly.

But now that they were about to reach their destination, Seng Ge also had to consider the fatigue of the army. Marching all the way was still very tiring for the army. The army must take a good rest before contacting the Hungarian-Turkish coalition forces. Just fine.

After thinking for a moment, Sengge immediately ordered that no matter how hard everyone worked today, it would be best to compress the remaining journey into half a day, and then everyone could have a good rest before going to Ankang City.

It was natural to be happy to hear that he could have a good rest, but the cavalryman was still a little worried and said: "But Khan, will this delay our support of Ankang City? If this misses Khan's affairs, then it will be ."

But Sengge waved his hand and said: "It's okay. If the army doesn't rest well, we will still be exhausted even when we reach Ankang City. Don't be unable to save Ankang City by then, and instead get ourselves involved. That would be a joke. Woolen cloth."

Hearing what Seng Ge said, the cavalry quickly spread the news to the entire army. After hearing the news, the army immediately speeded up like a chicken. Only when they set up camp at night did Seng Ge find out in surprise , they are less than thirty miles away from Ankang City.

Dang even happily asked everyone to stop and rest.

At this time, Ankang City had suffered heavy losses after nearly two days of fighting.

There were originally nearly 6,000 people in the city, but now there were less than 4,000 left.

The bustling city that was originally a large city now has only a handful of pedestrians on the streets.

Almost everyone was injured!

No matter day or night, the coalition forces are going crazy these days, constantly intensifying their attacks.

Even though they had thrown piles of corpses under the city wall, there was still no sign of relief.

According to calculations, Ban Chao estimated that there were at least 20,000 to 30,000 corpses thrown into the city by the Huns in these days.

Although most of them were prisoners and surrenders they gathered after attacking the countries in the Western Regions.

But their own army is also quite large.

Adding up the bits and pieces, the two tribes have a headquarters of 3 people, and it is already remarkable that there are only people left.

Moreover, in the past two days of fighting, the remaining soldiers from the Western Regions who were captured and forced to attack the city have been exhausted. Now they have begun to fill the city wall with their own people.

It is obvious that the pressure of defending the city today is extremely high!

They are really elite!
Li Nian'an also lost the momentum of the previous days. He took advantage of the rare opportunity to sit on the ground and breathe heavily.

Seeing Ban Chaohou, who was also covered in blood and carrying a knife full of cuts in his hand, Li Nian'an managed to gather his energy and asked:
"Have you not discovered the reason yet? Are these Huns and Turks all crazy?

There is no such thing as attacking a city. They clearly want to use their numbers to kill us! "

Ban Chao shook his head and said: "Currently, our contact with the outside world has been cut off, and there is no way to receive any news.

So I don't know if there is anything wrong with these Huns and Turks. "

Ban Chao sat down next to Li Nian'an.

Li Nian'an glanced at him, thought for a moment and then said with a heavy tone: "There are less than 500 people left with me."

Ban Chao gasped for breath for a while, then recovered, and nodded: "Everyone has suffered a lot these days." Li Nian'an glanced at the sky, which was as gray as their current situation, with no hope in sight.

After a moment of silence, Li Nian'an asked, "Hasn't there been any news from the imperial court?"

Ban Chao shook his head: "All the messages sent out these days have been shot down by the vulture shooters outside. We have no way to contact the outside world."

Damn!

Li Anan punched the ground hard, and blood immediately flowed out from the cracks in his fist.

The ground was dyed red.

"Tomorrow at most. After tomorrow, I will find a way to lead them to break out. All the people in Shebitu cannot die here!"

Li Nian'an said firmly.

This time, Ban Chao did not refute, but just nodded silently.

Indeed, it is extremely benevolent for someone to help guard him for so long.

You can't ask others to leave everything in Ankang City, right?

Not long after the break, the battle began again with the sound of the horn.

Lifting the knife in their hands, the two stepped onto the battlefield again.

……

After a day's rest, although they still felt a little unfinished, everyone in the Tatar army knew that the situation was urgent, so they didn't say anything more. After the order to set off was given, they immediately started on their way in full spirit.

At this time, outside Ankang City, both sides were completely jealous.

"Kill!!!"

"Rush! For the sake of Changshengtian!"

"Brothers! Beat them down! Kill them!"

At the north gate of Ankang City, Ban Chao killed a Turk who rushed to the city with one knife. At this moment, the knife in his hand that had been fighting with him for many days broke into two pieces with a click.

Seeing that there was only half of the knife left in his hand, Ban Chao gritted his teeth and was about to pick up the other people's knives and continue fighting. Another Huns rushed up. Seeing that his knife was broken, he immediately rushed up with a ferocious look on his face. , and the scimitar struck him hard!
Ban Chao was startled and quickly retreated, but within two steps he was at the city wall. If he retreated further, he would fall down the city wall.

At this critical moment, a Tang Hengdao cut the Huns in half from behind!
Li Nian'an walked over covered in blood and handed Ban Chao a good knife.

"Is it okay?"

The classmate took the knife with one hand, stood up leaning on it, gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay!"

"That's good!"

Li Nian'an nodded and said: "We have less than two thousand people left.

According to the current offensive, we can only hold on for one more day at most. I will leave with the remaining people in Shebitu later. Are you sure you don't want to go with us? "

Shaking his head firmly, Ban Chao gritted his teeth and said:
"Master Li, please go on your own. I am the chief officer assigned by your Majesty to be stationed here. This is the territory of the Western Region Protectorate of the Song Dynasty. As long as I am alive for one day, as long as I can still wield the sword, I will never abandon the land. And escape!"

"Hmph! Idiot! As you wish!"

Seeing that he couldn't be moved, Li Nian'an said nothing more and turned around to continue fighting.

Ban Chao also hurriedly greeted him.
