Chapter 659 Found it! (Update )
When they saw the fluttering flag, the hearts of many soldiers defending the city who were originally engaged in a bitter battle were lifted!
This is General Feng Zhang’s subordinate!

Although it is not known how they learned about the fall of Longcheng, their appearance at this time undoubtedly gave a shot of adrenaline to the distraught soldiers and civilians.

Feng Zhang!

That’s General Feng Cheng’s nephew!

Although he had retired for several years, he was still quite prestigious in the army. Who among those who served in the army didn't know him?

"We are saved!"

Hope is the greatest motivation!

As excited as the soldiers defending the city were, as shocked and panicked as the southern barbarians were.

"How come they have reinforcements!? Where on earth did these people come from!?"

Following the running crowd, Tuoba Yu, who had just left the prefectural government office in disguise, also saw this scene and his face turned pale and blue.

He clenched his teeth, veins popped on his forehead, and couldn't help but yelling,

"Useless! Have you never heard any news about this before?!"

The faces of the several close followers who were accompanying him were becoming more and more embarrassed.

"Master, Master, we really don't know... We have clearly ordered people to guard the place tightly and not to leak the news, so how could Feng Zhang know?!"

"You ask me?" Tuoba Yu almost wanted to cut off his tongue! "Then what use do I have for you!?"

The other person suddenly thought of something and opened his eyes wide.
"The city gate! It must be because the city gate was opened in the past two days! Someone took this opportunity to run out and ask for help!"

Although they added more manpower to strengthen patrols every day, omissions were inevitable.

"Especially today! We just sent those people from the court away this morning, and we didn't have time to order the city gates to be closed again. In the evening, so many kites appeared in the city!"

The man became more and more certain as he spoke, feeling both regretful and annoyed.

"If there hadn't been an imperial decree that suddenly came, we wouldn't have done this!"

Tuoba Yu frowned, this sounded reasonable, but -

"As far as I know, Feng Zhang is currently stationed in Xiacheng with his troops, which is not very close to here. If he leads his troops here, the speed will be even slower! How did they manage to send the news to Xiacheng in such a short time and persuade Feng Zhang to come here for reinforcement?"

There are many links in the process, and even if everything goes well, it will still take a long time.

No matter how I calculate it, it doesn't add up!
These words left everyone stunned and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

"This... Isn't that Feng Zhang's soldier?"

"Are you stupid?! Except for Feng Zhang who is stationed in Xiacheng, the generals in other cities are even farther away from here. They will not come so quickly! Besides, what's the point of pretending to be Feng Zhang at this time?! Can't you see that they have already charged in! They are ready to kill us!"

Tuoba Yu took a deep breath and said, "Even if Feng Zhang really brought people here, we may not lose. Did you see how many people they brought?"

After the initial nervousness, Tuoba Yu quickly calmed down, and after careful thought, he felt that things might turn around.

"Feng Zhang was ordered to garrison Xiacheng, which is also an important border fortress, and even more dangerous than Longcheng. He would never dare to easily empty his troops and fully support this place."

If the other side only sends a small number of troops and is bluffing... then counterattack!
Several people immediately looked towards the city gate, and saw that soldiers were still rushing into the city from outside, and the sound of fighting was deafening.

The horse's hooves stepped on the ground, causing it to vibrate.

Behind were waving military flags and a large number of people, and there was no end in sight.

"This……"

Several people looked at this scene and felt guilty.

"Master, it looks like there are indeed a lot of people here! I'm afraid there are more than a few thousand!"

"All the food and grass in the city have just been burned. Our people have been dissatisfied for the past few days and have made trouble several times. Under such circumstances, I am afraid that the army's morale will be weakened and they will lose their will to fight. If we really fight against them, we can hold out for a while, but not for long!"

"Master! I'm afraid that Longcheng can't be defended! You should make a decision as soon as possible!"

By the end, the meaning was clear.

How could Tuoba Yu not know

But he was unwilling to give up! He planned for several years and even swore in front of the king that he would make great contributions!

But now...if I escape, all my efforts will be in vain and I will lose everything!

……

Ye Yunfeng raised his sword and swung it down!
Another blue-eyed Nanhu man fell in a pool of blood.

He raised his head and looked forward, his eyes firm and resolute, with an invisible yet tangible pressure, as he swept through the chaotic crowd, as if searching for something.

His face and clothes were stained with blood. He was too lazy to count the enemies who had died at his sword.

In short, from the city gate to here, there was already someone lying behind me all the way.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and some people had already lit torches.

With the flickering light, his sharp eyes took in almost everything.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed and his eyebrows raised slightly.

"found it!"

The next moment, he suddenly clamped his legs on the horse's belly and rushed forward quickly!

……

After repeated hesitation, Tuoba Yu finally made up his mind.

"withdraw!"

The current situation is chaotic, it is the best time!

If you miss it, it will be too late to leave!

Several people were delighted when they heard this and immediately said, "We will escort the master away safely!"

Tuoba Yu was not so relaxed, but very worried.

Looking at the torches gradually lighting up over there and the crowd fighting fiercely, he punched hard on his palm.

"What a pity! I thought the East Gate would have the least number of people. Even if there was a riot, they wouldn't have thought we would choose to leave through the East Gate. But who knew... these reinforcements would come!"

Not far west of Longcheng, across a mountain, is the territory of the Nanhu.

Normally, no one would have guessed that he would take the long way around the most troublesome east gate.

but--

A close follower clasped his fists and said solemnly, "I am here to help you divert the troops!"

Tuoba Yu looked at him meaningfully and patted his shoulder.

"When we return to Nanhu, I will reward your family handsomely!"

The man knelt down and kowtowed, then stood up and ran in another direction!
His actions really attracted the attention of many people.

"There's another Nanhu man! He's trying to run! Catch him!"

Many people chased in that direction!

Tuoba Yu looked around and said, "Let's go!"

They had also been in Longcheng for quite some time and knew which road was the least crowded and easiest to leave quietly.

As long as they blend into the crowd and take advantage of the chaos to get to the city gate, they can escape!
Everything happened just as Tuoba Yu had expected. The crowd around them was running around in panic and no one noticed them at all.

As they got closer and closer to the city gate, Tuoba Yu felt excited and happy.

Just walk out this door -

call out--!
A sound of breaking air suddenly came from behind!

The arrow was like a meteor, carrying the wind and piercing straight into Tuoba Yu's back!

Tuoba Yu's heart suddenly sank to the bottom!
