He Dongning smiled and glanced at the two generals beside Lin Yiran.
General Chongtian and General Tiexue garrisoned Pingliang City with 20,000 soldiers, and his heart was relieved a lot.
Twenty thousand soldiers only need to guard the adjacent gates to Hepinghe City, and there is no need for soldiers to guard the gate leading to Shuitian City.
Besides, the Iron-Blooded General is going to recruit female soldiers, so the number of soldiers will only increase.
If there are refugees passing through Pingliang City later and seeing the Heavenly God Army stationed there, they will naturally be willing to stay...
He didn't even dare to imagine what the strength of Pingliang City's troops would be like by then...
The conversation among the few people here had just come to an end when Xiao Yunzhan and Chang Sun Dongcai had already planned to build the road.
Xiao Yunzhan turned his horse around and walked up to Lin Yiran and the others.
"The road is not smooth, everyone please be careful, we are going to set off at full speed..."
"Yes!" everyone responded loudly.
Xiao Yunzhan's gaze paused for a moment on Lin Yiran's face, then he turned his horse's head towards Pingliang City.
He raised the whip and lashed it hard in the air.
"Crackle~"
"Hurry~"
The horse instantly raised its hooves and galloped forward.
Chang Sun Dongcai and his men had already retreated to the sides of the road, watching Xiao Yunzhan and his group leave.
.......
"Look, is the Xiliang Kingdom attacking us?"
"Let me see, it's over!"
"Hurry up and inform the prefect that the Western Liang Kingdom is attacking..."
“…”
The gate guards on the Pingliang city wall saw the rolling dust and the deafening sound of horse hooves from afar, and they were extremely panicked.
The yamen runner who was about to run to inform the prefect suddenly remembered that the prefect had gone to Brahma City and had not returned yet.
Forget it, it’s the same as notifying the Tongzhi. If it’s too late, it’s really too late.
At this time, the city gate guards who were guarding the gate downstairs heard the sound and ran up to the city gate tower.
The people upstairs ran downstairs, and the people downstairs ran upstairs, and the two sides collided directly with each other.
The more anxious they were, the more trouble they caused. The city gate guard who came down from upstairs was so anxious that he almost cried out loud.
"Hurry up! Go and inform the Tongzhi Lord—inform Lord Cao! The Xiliang Kingdom is attacking..."
The gate guard's shout instantly frightened the people near the gate.
In just a few breaths, the people near the city gate disappeared instantly, and those who were originally weak ran faster than ghosts.
"...No, you must have seen it wrong. Let me go up and take a look."
Qian Lianghong, the city gate guard who had previously gone to Brahma City to check the rain situation, quickly walked up to the city gate tower.
It had just rained in Brahma City, and General Xiao was guarding it with his soldiers. How could the Western Liang Kingdom attack so quickly?
When Qian Lianghong walked to the top of the city gate tower, the guards on the tower had already drawn their bows and arrows, aiming at the large army that was rushing towards them.
Their families are all in Pingliang City, so it is definitely too late to run away now. It is better to fight and delay time.
At least we have to wait until the Tongzhi comes to negotiate.
Qian Lianghong frowned slightly, stood beside the city gate tower, squinted his eyes and looked at the billowing smoke.
A moment later, he saw several huge red flags fluttering in the team.
Qian Lianghong concentrated his attention and tried hard to read the words on the flag, "Heaven---God---Army---!!!"
When he saw the three big words on the flag clearly, Qian Lianghong laughed excitedly.
He shouted at the top of his voice,
"Look, it's the Heavenly Army, the Heavenly Army that the God King sent to Brahma City is here..."
"Eat his mother, drink his mother, the God King has come to Luofan City, take refuge with the God King and you will have food to eat..."
"The God King's subordinates are the God Army..."
"Hahahaha.....We are saved..."
“.......”
The city gate guards who were on alert stood up after hearing Qian Lianghong's shout, and stretched their necks to look at the approaching large army.
At this time, the large army was closer to Pingliang City, and they all saw the words on the flag.
This flag is indeed not the flag of the Western Liang Kingdom, but it is not the flag of their Daliang Kingdom either.
Could it be that they are really the subordinates of the God King? Otherwise, who would dare to call an ordinary army the Army of Gods?
The guards looked at each other, their eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement.
"Look, the leader seems to be General Xiao..."
Those with good eyesight jumped three feet high with excitement when they saw Xiao Yunzhan rushing out from the thick smoke.
In a flash, all the city gate guards had to squeeze to the gate tower and stare at the endless army.
".....Lord He is here too, he's one of us!"
Seeing Lord He following behind Xiao Yunzhan, Qian Lianghong excitedly turned around and ran down to the city gate tower.
"Hurry up, open the city gates and welcome the Heavenly God Army, General Xiao, and Lord He..."
Qian Lianghong ran and shouted, rushed to the back of the city gate, and called on everyone to open the city gate together.
The guards who were guarding the city gate were stunned for a moment.
"Hurry up, don't just stand there, Lord He has invited General Xiao back, open the city gate quickly..."
Qian Lianghong looked at the stunned city gate guard and stamped his feet anxiously.
When everyone heard this, they immediately put down the logs they were holding to push the gate open, and rushed forward to follow Qian Lianghong in pushing open the bolt of the city gate.
