A night passed.

Mu Xiong thought about it and went to the stable. Originally there were many war horses here and it was very lively, but now there was only one green war horse left.

The warhorse had become skinny and bony, lying on the ground with its ribs clearly visible. Its once shiny fur was now dull.

Mu Xiong slowly squatted down and put his hand on the horse's sunken belly. Zhuifeng raised his head with difficulty and touched Mu Xiong's hand with his nose.

"Old man..."

Mu Xiong said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, you have been with me for more than ten years, and I can't even remember how many times you have led me to break through the enemy's encirclement."

As Mu Xiong spoke, he pulled out a dagger from his waist.

"This time, we won't break out. You go first, and I'll come to accompany you in a few days."

As he said that, Mu Xiong placed the dagger on Zhuifeng's neck.

Zhuifeng stuck out his tongue and licked Mu Xiong's hand, then looked at Mu Xiong quietly with a look of relief in his eyes.

Mu Xiong's hands were shaking a little. He felt very painful when he was asked to kill Zhuifeng with his own hands.

But there is no way out now. The general attack of the barbarians is about to begin. The soldiers must be allowed to eat something. Even if they die, they must kill a few barbarians before dying.

He closed his eyes, tears rolling down, he tilted his head back, took a deep breath, raised his right hand high, ready to stab.

"Dad, reinforcements are coming!"

At this moment, Mu Lan rushed over.

Bang!

The dagger in Mu Xiong's hand fell to the ground, and he stood up suddenly, "What did you say? There are reinforcements?"

Mu Lan nodded, "It's the flag of the imperial court."

Mu Xiong rushed out in a hurry and soon arrived at the city wall behind him. He saw a court flag embroidered with the word "Pei" appearing in the distance.

Mu Xiong showed joy on his face. The imperial court had sent someone here. Did that mean that the war in Yuzhou was over and Northern Yan had retreated?

Very good!

Very good!

But soon, the joy on Mu Xiong's face faded, and the barbarians surrounding them had already headed towards the reinforcements. He wondered how many people the imperial court had sent, and whether they could repel the barbarians?

…

Pei Yun looked at Anding City in front of him and the barbarians rushing towards them, and felt relieved.

Fortunately, the city was not broken, otherwise their trip would have been in vain.

In order to save time, Pei Yun specifically asked the governor of Yizhou for a thousand war horses, and the 700 officers and soldiers who later joined the Qianhu Suo could all ride horses.

Chang Wei, Baldy and others have also ridden horses. When Pei Yun went to Shudu before, Yuan Zheng gave him two horses. After the two horses were brought back to the village, Baldy and others were very happy.

Ever since they watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they have wanted to become brave generals.

If you want to become a brave general, how can you not know how to ride a horse? Wouldn't that make you a laughing stock? So the two mares that Pei Yun brought back suffered a lot.

Baldy and the others would ride the horses whenever they wanted.

The two young mares bore the brunt of the riding of three hundred men, and also gave Baldy and the others some experience.

Although they are not as skilled as the seven hundred officers and soldiers, at least they can ride.

During the journey, they became more and more familiar with riding horses. When they saw the barbarians riding horses and rushing towards them, Chang Wei and others immediately wanted to see who was better.

I haven't tried killing people on horseback yet.

However, those barbarians who were rushing over seemed to be crazy for some reason and actually ran to both sides, making way for them to pass.

Seeing this, Pei Yun was too lazy to get entangled with these barbarians. Since they had cleared the way, he decided to enter the city first.

"Chief, there are only a few of them. If we rush over, we can kill them all. Why should we let them pass?"

After Pei Yun and others left, some barbarian soldiers spoke up and didn't understand why the chief let them go.

The great chief asked them to surround here to prevent anyone in the city from breaking out and escaping, and then to block the reinforcements sent by Jing Dynasty.

Although there are not many people in this group, they are also reinforcements.

The chief glared at him and said, "What do you know? Did you see those two women in that team?"

The barbarians nodded. One of them was wearing a mask, so his face couldn't be seen, but his figure was amazing.

The other one is very beautiful and has a great figure.

"Those two are experts. If we really try to intercept them, we will die miserably."

The chief spoke. Although he was only a third-rate master, he was very sensitive to murderous intent. He could feel the strong murderous intent from the two women from afar. That murderous intent made him shudder.

This is why they asked people to move aside and not intercept them. Besides, the other side only had so many people, and letting them enter the city would not have any effect on the situation.

Although the two women are masters, they are of little use to the army, and there is no shortage of masters in their tribe.

The ones protecting the fifth prince are top-notch masters, so let the other tribes deal with them.

"Open the gate quickly."

Mu Xiong saw clearly from the city wall that the barbarians who surrounded them directly let the people come over. He originally thought that there would be a fierce battle, but now it seems that he was overthinking.

When Pei Yun and his group entered the city, Mu Xiong was already waiting at the city gate.

When Pei Yun dismounted, no one could tell who Mu Xiong was, without any introduction. No one could replace his iron-blooded spirit that had come from years of fighting.

On the way, Sun Gan told Pei Yun about Mu Xiong's deeds.

He joined the army at the age of fifteen and was invincible along the way, helping the Jing Dynasty to resist the repeated attacks of the Northern Hu. At the age of thirty, he was promoted to a general and became the mainstay of the Jing Dynasty.

As long as he is there, it will be difficult for the Northern Hu to cross the line.

This made Pei Yun respect Mu Xiong. Jing Dynasty had no famous generals and was entirely supported by Mu Xiong.

"General Mu, I am Pei Yun, the deputy commander of Yizhou, and I have come to support Anding City."

Pei Yun bowed and saluted.

Mu Xiong nodded and said, "Mr. Pei, how many reinforcements did the court send?"
