Chapter 276

came back?

Huang Zhong was taken aback for a moment, he was just ready to face the enemy, and now he is back?

"General Huang, let me just say, where did the enemy come from! You are too nervous!"

Yang Ren also breathed a sigh of relief, and began to tease Huang Zhong.

How could Huang Zhong be in the mood to tease him, so he asked the soldier who sent the order directly.

"Where are they? Hurry up and let them come to see me, I want to see why they went these two hours!"

"this…"

The messenger was a little embarrassed, he just came to report this matter to Huang Zhong.

"General Huang, every time we put spider plants down to pick them up, but this time they asked to open the city gate, saying that they had caught a big prey. Now that it's dark, we dare not open the city gate without authorization."

Huang Zhong, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly became nervous again, and opened the city gate in the middle of the night. Could the soldiers under his command be so unreasonable?

Huang Zhong looked at Yang Ren, originally wanted to ask who was sent to patrol the mountain today, but Yang Ren, who was always optimistic, became nervous at this moment.

"General Huang, I once agreed with my brothers that if there is an emergency, it will be because of catching a huge prey. Now..."

Obviously, the situation of these soldiers must have encountered a problem!

"Come on, let's go and see together!"

Huang Zhong didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly took Yang Ren to the city wall of the city gate, but it was pitch black underneath, and he couldn't see anything!

Yang Ren was familiar with the soldiers below, so he hurried out and shouted.

"Dad, what the hell are you doing, why are you back so late!"

"General Yang, don't you want to eat venison? Our brothers thought about searching for the general, but we didn't expect to find a deer nest! After a lot of fighting, you quickly open the city gate and send someone to bring it in!"

"Okay! You wait!"

Yang Ren shrank back and looked at Huang Zhong in horror.

"General Huang, they were hijacked by the enemy!"

Huang Zhong was already ready for the battle, and he was not so nervous now, so he couldn't help but glanced at Yang Rengao.

"Not bad, you can come up with such a wonderful early warning method, the enemy must not think that we have discovered them!"

Yang Ren didn't have the heart to listen to Huang Zhong's praise at all. Although he practiced martial arts since childhood, Yang Ren has never been on the battlefield, and now he is extremely nervous.

"Oh, my General Huang, what time is this, you still have the heart to make fun of me! The enemy is about to attack!"

"What are you panicking about!"

Huang Zhong scolded angrily in a low voice, without any fear of the enemy's arrival.

"The soldiers of our martial arts battalion are all in place. If the enemy dares to come, they will be shot into pieces! Moreover, it is night, and attacking the city at night is extremely unfavorable to them!"

At this time, Yang Ang also ran over panting.

"Huang... General Huang, everything has been arranged! Those who asked for help... have also been sent out!"

Huang Zhong calculated in his mind, according to Jia Xu's reaction speed, the reinforcements would arrive early tomorrow morning at the latest, so he would have absolutely no problem defending the night by himself!

"Yang Ren, go and arrange for two hundred soldiers to ignite the rockets. When I give an order, they will shoot into the distance at the same time. I want to see how many soldiers there are in the enemy army!"

Yang Ren didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to light the rockets. After a while, two hundred soldiers were ready.

"put!"

When Huang Zhong gave an order, the soldiers of the Wushe Battalion did not hesitate at all, and two hundred rockets shot out in response, directly illuminating the sky.

"hiss!"

Yang Ren and Yang Ang took a breath of cold air at the same time, and saw that where the fire was shining, there were countless soldiers waiting in battle. They had prepared ladders in their hands, and they looked like they were attacking the city!

What shocked them the most was that they were less than a hundred meters away from the city wall of Yangping Pass!

"General Huang!"

Both Yang and Ren exclaimed at the same time, ready to tell Huang Zhong the situation outside, but Huang Zhong had already issued a combat order!

"Beat the drum! Shoot me back the enemy!"

In an instant, arrows rained down on the city wall of Yangping Pass, and there were countless screams. The enemy army under the city must have suffered heavy casualties!

Huang Zhong didn't have time to celebrate the shooting of the enemy, so he quickly shouted at Yang Ang and Yang Ren.

"The two of you go to the two mountains separately, be sure to guard them for me!"

"Go!"

Yang Ang and Yang Ren were awakened by the roar. After looking at each other, the two ran to both sides at the same time.

The reason why Yangpingguan is called a natural barrier and not easy to defend is because the span is too large and it is built on the basis of two mountains.

When the enemy attacks, the army can be spread out, unlike Hulao Pass or Wu Pass, where no number of troops can be deployed.

However, Yangping Pass is built on the hillside, so it is naturally much more difficult for the enemy to attack. If the defense is proper, it is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Why is Huang Zhong so nervous? He is afraid that the enemy troops on the two mountains are already ready, so they are waiting to attack together! Once Yishan falls, Yangping Pass will not be far from falling!

After a round of shooting, the darkness seemed to stop again, and any movement disappeared, including the screams of soldiers being shot by arrows. But not long after, the sound of drums and horns sounded at the same time.

Huang Zhong knew that the enemy army was preparing to attack the city in the dark!

Hanzhong County, Nanzheng City, Sheriff's Mansion.

When Liu Zhang was still in Hanzhong, he reserved several rooms in the county guard's mansion for his generals and counselors to live in, including Jia Xu's room.

Since Liu Zhang left, all important military and political affairs in Hanzhong County have fallen on Jia Xu's head. With heavy burdens and more and more office hours every day, Jia Xu simply lived in the Sheriff's Mansion.

On the one hand, it can reduce the travel time and increase the efficiency of handling affairs. On the other hand, it can better make arrangements as soon as possible in emergencies.

Even though he has maximized his time, Jia Xu is still very tired. In addition, it is the end of the year, and he can only rest after midnight every day.

Today is another very busy day, half an hour has passed since midnight, and Jia Xu just lay down on the bed.

I was so tired recently, Jia Xu soon lost consciousness and fell asleep.

But it didn't take long before Jia Xu couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.

"Jia Changshi, have you rested yet? Yangping Guan urgent report!"

A hurried voice came from outside the door, waking Jia Xu up in an instant! He knew that this time it must not be a dream!

"Come in, what's going on!"

The door was pushed open by the servants, and the soldiers under Huang Zhong hurried into the house and knelt down in front of Jia Xu.

"Military division, Yangpingguan urgent report!"

"Yangpingguan mountain patrol soldiers suddenly disappeared. General Huang suspects that the enemy is invading. Please prepare early!"

Jia Xu stood up and shook her still confused brain to wake herself up.

After walking back and forth in the house for a long time, Jia Xu finally issued an order to the servants.

"Quickly invite General Xu Huang, General Yang Lin, and Juncheng Yan to discuss matters at the Sheriff's Mansion!"

After the servants left, Jia Xu asked Huang Zhong's soldiers to stand up again.

"Go and rest first, and after I discuss it later, you go back and report back immediately!"
