"Tsk tsk tsk!"

"Ahhh!"

"The Yan army is coming, run, run!"

"Chi chi chi~"

"Ahhh!"

Thousands of Yan troops stormed into private houses one by one and began to massacre unarmed civilians. Waves of shrill screams echoed over Hanzhou City.

Not everyone had the courage to take up arms and fight the Yan army. Most of them were chopped into bloody men by the Yan army while shouting in terror.

"Chi chi chi~"

"Ahhh!"

Another dark curtain fell, and the battle in Hanzhou lasted for a whole day and night. The large-scale battle gradually evolved into sporadic fighting and a unilateral massacre of the people by the Yan army's cavalry.

The thirty thousand Hanzhou garrison had been reduced to ten or seventy-eight, and the ten thousand elite cavalry were beaten into skirmishers, fighting with the Yan army in the streets and alleys.

Hanzhou City has become a hell on earth.

I wonder how many people will survive in this ancient city that has stood for hundreds of years when the war subsides.

…

"Dang Dang Dang!"

"drink!"

"Chichi!"

"Ah!"

"General, be careful, go this way!"

In a dark street, a dozen soldiers were protecting Chang Jing'an as he walked through the darkness.

This Pinghan Dao Jiedushi was covered in blood, and his armor was in pieces. There was not a single piece of intact armor anywhere on his body. Fortunately, most of the blood was the blood splashed on him by the Yan army. Chang Jingan only had two or three streaks on his body.

Serious wounds.

Originally, Chang Jingan fought against Ulan Bars around the North City Gate. At that time, they even had the upper hand. Even Ulan Bars was injured by Chang Jingan.

However, with the arrival of reinforcements from the Yan Army, the battle situation took a turn for the worse. Chang Jingan's soldiers could only protect him while fighting and retreating, avoiding the Yan Army's brigade, and plunged into the streets and alleys of the city, completely separated from the army.

"Come, General, take a rest first."

The guards helped Chang Jing'an get into a private house. The two of them quickly started to help Chang Jing'an bandage his wounds. The remaining people closed the door tightly and were alert to the movements outside.

"Hu~hu~"

Chang Jingan, who had chapped lips, was breathing heavily. He had not eaten or drank water for a day and a night, and his physical energy had been exhausted to the limit.

But what worries Chang Jingan the most is the battle situation in the city. Now he can't even contact his soldiers and horses, and the entire Hanzhou City is in chaos.

Chang Jingan's eyes casually glanced around the yard. There were two corpses of ordinary people lying at the door of the main house, with blood flowing all over the floor. They were dead in miserable condition. It was obvious that the Yan army had come in and slaughtered them.

Chang Jingan's expression was filled with deep aggrievedness. He watched the people all over the city being massacred, but he was powerless to save his life. He could not even guarantee his own safety.

"Puff puff puff~"

A burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside the house. It seemed that a large group of people were moving outside the yard, and they happened to stop at the door.

The dozen or so soldiers who were protecting Chang Jing'an all stood up with a stab, holding their scimitars tightly, and guarding both sides of the courtyard entrance with their hands and feet.

Everyone's expressions were extremely solemn, and as soon as people from outside came in, there would be a fierce fight.

A pair of sharp scimitars stood erect in the night, and everyone's hearts were in their throats.

"Crunch~"

Sure enough, the courtyard door was pushed open, and a sneaky figure got in first.

"Do it!"

"Click rub rub!"

"kill!"

Almost as soon as the door was pushed open, the sound of knives being swung could be heard both inside and outside the courtyard. Both sides seemed to be very nervous. A fierce battle was about to break out.

At this critical moment, a low shout made everyone stop what they were doing.

"Don't move! We're one of our own!"

"Everyone stop it!"

"General?"

"Chang Yao!"

A cry of surprise rang out. It turned out that the soldiers who appeared outside were Chang Yao and his remaining soldiers.

Chang Jingan finally breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand casually: "Come in, everyone, and close the door."

A large group of people, about 70 or 80 people, crowded into the courtyard, shouting and cheering. The courtyard was packed inside and outside.

Chang Yao sat next to Chang Jingan, his eyes blank and his spirit a little decadent.

Chang Yao's leg was tied with a strip of cloth that had long been soaked in blood. He was limping and his face was a little pale.

"General, have a drink of water." Chang Yao handed over a water bag, not knowing where he got it.

"GuluGulu~"

Chang Jingan took a few gulps and then murmured:

"How is the civil war in the city?"

"have no idea."

Chang Yao lowered his head and shook his head: "All the four thousand people under my command have been dispersed, and only these dozens of people are left.

The situation on the east and west sides is similar. I heard from the defeated army that the generals of the two city gates have died in battle."

Chang Jing'an remained silent, lowered his head and said nothing.

Tragic, the war was brutal.

Seeing that Chang Jingan remained silent for a long time, Chang Yao hesitated for a long time and finally said:

"General, according to the current situation, Hanzhou City cannot be defended. Will I protect you and fight out of the city?"

"Out of town?"

Chang Jingan's eyes were slightly cold and he said coldly: "Chang Yao, are you afraid of death?"

Facing Chang Jingan's cold gaze, Chang Yao's face turned red and he said in a hoarse voice:

"General, you know me. I, Chang Yao, have been in and out of battles and galloping on the battlefield for so many years. When have I ever frowned?

But today's battle is really impossible to fight. Four gates have been broken, the city is full of enemy troops, and countless people have been slaughtered by the Yan army. We can't even send out an elite force within a hundred miles of Hanzhou City to reinforce the Hanzhou war.

.

I, Chang Yao, am not afraid of death. It doesn’t matter if I lose my life here. But General, you are the backbone of Pinghan Road. If you die, the entire Pinghan Road will fall into the hands of the Yan barbarians, and we will never be able to recover.

Let's go! I'll break up the queen!"

Chang Yao's voice became hoarse and hoarse, and in the end he was almost shouting.

All the soldiers in the courtyard closed their mouths and looked at the strong head of the Chang family in the middle.

These soldiers all knew that they had reached the end of their rope.

Looking at Chang Yao with red eyes, Chang Jing'an said calmly:

"There are more than 278,000 people in Hanzhou City. In the Chang family's ancestral home, there are more than a thousand men, women, old and children in total. The total number of old, weak, women and children in other general families is more than tens of thousands?

I, Chang Jing'an, am the official worship envoy of Pinghan Dao, I have the military and political power of two states, and I am the head of the Chang family.

Go? No.

When the border troops on Pinghan Road raised their troops and headed south, I personally promised my father that no matter what happens on Pinghan Road, I, Chang Jing'an, will definitely coexist with Hanzhou City.

All of you can leave, but I, the general, cannot leave."

Chang Jingan's tone was very gentle, but with the firmest determination.

Chang Yao's heart trembled, and tears flowed down almost uncontrollably. He almost begged and said:

"General, please retreat first!"

"General, please withdraw~"

"Yes, general, let's go first~"
