Chapter 1005: Entering Suiyang City

Sima Xing was already five or six points convinced at this time. He nodded to the captain beside him and motioned for him to come forward and ask.

The captain nodded, stretched out his head and shouted outside the city: "Chang Shengqu, why are you back at this time? Where are the rest of the army?"

Sheng Quchang was now wearing rotten armor, covered in blood, and had a long scar on his face. When he heard Chengtou's inquiry, he cried loudly: "We are defeated. The army is defeated. Almost the whole army is defeated." It was destroyed, and the Prime Minister was also captured, and his life and death are unknown."

Sheng Quchang's words shocked the soldiers at the top of the city. For a while, the entire city was filled with buzzing discussions. Seeing that the situation was not good, Sima Xing quickly said: "Sheng Guang, this is Sima Xing. How long do you expect me to break out?"

Sheng Guang was overjoyed when he saw it was Sima Xing. He quickly struggled to get up and said, "Captain, please open the door and let the brothers in. The Eastern Expedition Army will catch up soon."

"Yes, Captain, please do it!" The soldiers nearby also begged;

"You haven't answered the captain's words yet!" Sima Xing said sharply;

Sheng Guang had no choice but to answer: "At the end of the day, General Guichu only led a dozen people to break through. Later, we met Deputy Captain Qian more than ten miles northwest of the battlefield. We gathered a thousand people along the way and broke out. We didn't dare to Stay and drive back overnight.”

"Well, where is Deputy Captain Qian?" Upon hearing this, Sima Xing immediately interrupted him and asked;

The relationship between generals and deputy generals has deteriorated in many places, and the same is true in Liang State. Although Sima Xing is the chief general, his relationship with deputy general Qian Feng is very bad, but Sima Xing knows that Qian Feng is still very capable. Well, now that he has escaped, it would be best to ask him everything.

"Reporting to Captain, Deputy Captain Qian is right behind..." Sheng Guang said calmly;

Sima Xing also understood what was going on. It must be that Qian Feng was afraid that he would be disadvantageous to him and was unwilling to let him enter the city, so he sent the music leader to explore the way. Now at this time, Sima Xing could not care about his personal grudges and said : "Captain Qian, why don't you come out and explain something to me?"

There was silence in the darkness. After a while, Qian Feng sighed and appeared in the light of the fire. His appearance shocked both Sima Xing and Chang Shi Cai Shen at the top of the city. Qian Feng, who was usually handsome and handsome, Feng turned into like a beggar on the roadside. Although he was still wearing armor, his usually brand new and shiny black iron armor was now extremely worn. Qian Feng's whole body was also stained with blood, obviously after a big battle. look.

Looking at the soldiers behind him, they were all listless and weak, with blood stains all over their bodies.

Cai Shen stammered: "Captain Qian, what's the situation?"

Qian Feng said with a bitter smile: "We have fallen into a trap. The Eastern Expeditionary Army had already decided to meet with the country and lead troops to send out reinforcements, so they set up an ambush when they crossed the river, with 10,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry..."

At this time, Sima Xing basically believed that all the soldiers in the city were behind the defeat of Liang Guojun, so he stopped Qian Feng and said, "How many soldiers did the captain gather along the way?"

"Although the general came back all the way and tried his best to gather the soldiers, there were only more than a thousand soldiers." Qian Feng replied with a dejected look: "Please also ask the captain to open the city gate quickly and let the brothers enter the city to rest early. I estimate that the Eastern Expeditionary Army will probably send troops northward tomorrow."

After hearing this, Cai Shen nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, Captain Sima. Let the soldiers enter the city quickly. After they have rested, they will be able to fight tomorrow."

Sima Xing nodded and said to the captain next to him: "Open the city gate and let the soldiers enter the city."

"Rumble..."

With a roar, the south gate of Suiyang City was slowly opened. At this time, more and more soldiers were gathering behind Qian Feng. Slowly, hundreds of people had gathered. When they saw the city gate being opened, they also They all raised their feet and walked towards the city gate.

Standing on the top of the city, Sima Xing looked at the soldiers slowly approaching the city gate, but suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling of anxiety in his heart. Many of these soldiers he knew.

But there are also many people who are not familiar with it. After all, this time the Prime Minister transferred 10,000 county soldiers from the county below.

At this time, the sky was already a little dim. Sima Xing's eyes returned from the distance to his eyes. Suddenly, he saw several sturdy men stepping onto the suspension bridge. These big men looked extremely strong. Seeing these people , the anxiety in Sima Xing's heart became even stronger.

"That's not right." Such a strong soldier cannot be an unknown person in Cao Cao's army, not to mention that in Liang's army, Sima Xing should have seen almost all the soldiers from the county and state, at least he should have had some experience with him. If there really were such strong soldiers among the county soldiers, they would have attracted his attention.

However, the leader of the few people in front of him is a sturdy man in his thirties or forties. Although the soldiers around him look like ordinary Cao soldiers, they are all extremely tough. Obviously not an ordinary soldier.

When he looked at these people again, Sima Xing found that although they seemed exhausted, they all walked steadily, and their weapons were tightly held in their hands. They did not look like they were breaking up and returning to camp.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Sima Xing's mind: "No, they are not friendly forces, they are the Marching Army!" When he thought of this, Sima Xing suddenly yelled at the captain beside him: "They are the Marching Army." Eastern Army, quickly, quickly, close the city gate, quickly, pull up the suspension bridge!”

Sima Xing's sudden shout startled everyone on the top of the city wall. Not to mention the soldiers, even the captain at the city gate did not react, saying: "Captain... Captain... You... You... Are you mistaken..."

Sima Xing grabbed the captain's armor and shouted: "Quick, order the city to close!"

The captain finally reacted and ordered the gate to be closed and the suspension bridge to be raised. Unfortunately, the movement on the top of the city wall had already alarmed the Zhengdong Army under the city. Seeing this, Guan Hai shouted: "Quick, rush into the city and seize the city gate!"

As he said, he drew out his sword and chopped at the iron chain on the suspension bridge. Seeing this, Dian Man next to him also drew out his iron halberd and chopped at another money rope.

After receiving Guan Hai's order, the soldiers who had already walked to the city gate suddenly rushed into the city gate, suddenly attacked, and chopped all the Cao army soldiers who came to open the city gate to the ground. Seeing this, Qian Feng, who was walking in the front, immediately picked up a ring-handled sword from the fallen Suiyang County soldier and rushed into the city gate with a loud shout.

As they spoke, Guan Hai and Dian Man cut the iron chain of the city gate drawbridge, and immediately led their personal guards to rush into the city and kill towards the top of the city.
