Chapter 544 There is hope
Xun Qie's voice began to tremble.
Each of the ten most powerful ministers of the Tang Dynasty was a legend. Xiao Tiansheng's famous name is even more impressive.
With such a general around, even he had the confidence to defend the city.
The city gate opened slowly, and the horses came in quickly, but worry flashed deep in the eyes of the guards.
What about the rest?
Why are there only two people here? Where are the other brothers?
Thinking that General Xiao was going to ambush those thousands of Sirius soldiers, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Under the city tower, Xiao Tiansheng and Lin Xiaofan dismounted from their horses. The horses seemed to have lost their last bit of strength and fell directly to the ground.
"Falcon, thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Tiansheng knelt down and gently stroked the horse that fell on the ground, his eyes showing distress.
He had never walked this road, and he didn't know how long it would take to reach Guangling City. He was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the time, so he pushed his horses forward all the way.
The falcon neighed feebly, its belly heaving violently. In the past three days, the whole horse has lost weight.
"General Xiao, I have long admired your name. I am the lord of Guangling City, Xun Qie."
Xunqie trotted down the city wall, still breathing heavily. He looked down and saw the horse lying on the ground, and hurriedly spoke with concern:
"What's wrong with your horses? Xun Kang, go to the city and find the best doctor to treat the general's horses."
"No need, I'm just tired. City Lord Xun, just let him lie here for a while. Please prepare some horse materials."
Xiao Tiansheng stood up and stepped forward to socialize.
"Okay, okay, Xun Kang, go and get the best horse materials from my house. General Xiao, when will the Wolf army come? How many people are there? Do you think we can hold it?"
Xun Qie changed the subject, his face full of worry, as if he needed a definite answer.
Just as Xiao Tiansheng was about to speak, Lin Xiaofan on the side was the first to answer:
"The Sirius army is only three thousand and is expected to arrive the day after tomorrow. With the height of the walls of Guangling City, it will not be a problem to defend it for a year and a half."
When these words came out, there was a moment of silence. Xun Qie, Xun Kang, and Zhang Darong all seemed to be hesitant to speak.
When you say this, I'm afraid you haven't seen the state of the city guards, right?
Xun Qie looked Lin Xiaofan up and down, feeling a little doubtful in his heart. Although the man in front of him has an extraordinary temperament, he looks much younger than Xiao Tiansheng? He remembered well, but there seemed to be no such person in the Tang Dynasty.
"I wonder who you are?"
Xun Qie asked cautiously.
"This is Lin Xiaofan, a man of great strength. He once led 30,000 troops to fight against an army of 200,000. In the end, he killed more than 100,000 enemies and almost wiped out all the enemy generals."
Xiao Tiansheng on the side was the first to answer.
Hearing this, Xun Qie took a deep breath. Thirty thousand people faced an enemy army of 200,000 people, and finally killed 100,000 enemies. Such achievements are probably unparalleled in the world. Looking at Xiao Tiansheng's respectful attitude towards Lin Xiaofan, I suddenly felt the desire to fawn over him.
"It turns out to be General Lin, whose name I have admired for a long time."
Zhang Darong on the side spoke with a flattering smile, and then introduced Xunji:
"General Lin has fought several battles, and he has always defeated more with less, ranking ninth on the list of divine generals. Among the three great generals of our Tang Dynasty, only two are ranked in the top ten on the list of divine generals."
Although he is usually lazy, as a general, he pays great attention to the list of divine generals.
Xun Qie was shocked. This man looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was comparable to a great general of the Tang Dynasty. No wonder I dare to draw a conclusion now, and it won’t be a problem to keep it for a year and a half.
Looking at this calm and calm posture, with such a godly man around, his heart suddenly burst into confidence. Not to mention the thousands of soldiers and horses of Tianlang, even tens of thousands are still capable of fighting.
After the battle is over, he can also get some soup from behind.
"General Lin, General Xiao, you have come all the way and are tired. Why don't you go to my house to have something to eat first?"
Xun Qie's face was full of flattery, and his waist bent unconsciously.
"The war is about to begin. Let's go to the city wall and take a look first."
Xiao Tiansheng said. Although he had been eating dry and hard food along the way, now that the war was approaching, he was in no mood to eat or rest.
"Okay, it's all up to you!"
Xun Qie said hurriedly and immediately led the way.
On the city wall, soldiers secretly glanced at Lin Xiaofan and Xiao Tiansheng walking along the way, full of curiosity about the two young men. The news of the arrival of the tiger minister Xiao Tiansheng has spread among them.
As for the younger person next to him, who could he be?
"General Xiao, General Lin, are there really only three thousand soldiers and horses from the Tianlang National Army?"
Xun Kang said worriedly.
Before the two of them could speak, Zhang Darong on the side took the lead and said:
"General Lin said it himself, how can it be false? They really overestimate their capabilities. Three thousand people dare to attack our Guangling City. Do they really think that our Guangling City is a vegetarian?"
"Kang'er, you don't have to worry. With General Lin and General Xiao here, let alone 3,000 soldiers and horses, even 30,000 can defeat them and flee."
Xun Qie was also full of confidence.
One of these two is comparable to the great general of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is the youngest tiger minister. If they join forces, what is there to be afraid of?
He was afraid that the Wolf Kingdom's army would not come to fight that day, causing him to miss out on a piece of credit sent from heaven.
"Two generals, Kang'er is timid, so he wants to confirm, and I hope you don't take it to heart. In this battle, all of us in Guangling City are at your disposal, and we will fully cooperate."
Seeing Lin Xiaofan staring at Xun Kang, Xun Qie thought it was Xun Kang's rash question that aroused Lin Xiaofan's dissatisfaction, and hurriedly explained.
"Then there is City Lord Laoxun. Although our intelligence is that the Sirius army will arrive as early as tomorrow, we are not 100% sure. We must be vigilant at night and must not slack off."
Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth to give instructions.
"General Lin, just don't worry."
When Xun Qie opened his mouth, he would have implemented this matter without Lin Xiaofan having to ask. After all, compared to fear of death, no one here could compare to him.
"Okay, then we have seen everything we should see. Let's go back and rest first."
As he spoke, Lin Xiaofan yawned. After running around for three days and sleeping on the ground every day, his body felt like it was falling apart and he desperately wanted to get some sleep.
"Okay, I will make arrangements for you two. Xun Kang and Zhang Darong, you two will supervise on the city wall tonight. Even if a pheasant rushes over, you will report it. When the two generals are resting, don't make any mistakes. ”
Xun Qie sternly urged.
"Yes!"
The two responded hurriedly. This is a matter related to their own lives, so they will naturally not slack off.
