Da Song: Possessed by Overlord at the beginning

Chapter 209 Zhen Xianglin is here to capture He Anbang alive!
General Yin Dinglun of the Qilu Army rode his horse to catch up and reported in a deep voice.

He Anbang's face turned pale when he heard Yin Dinglun's report. In this way, it would not help the matter if he led the thousand troops to Zhangqiu.

"Order the rear brigade to arrive at Zhangqiu within one day, and those who disobey the military law will do so." He Anbang ordered in a deep voice.

When someone answered, he hurried on and sent the order to go.

"His Royal Highness, let's see a military horse appear ahead."

At this moment, Wei Yuanhui, the military counselor accompanying the army, said to He Anbang in horror.

After hearing what Wei Yuanhui said, everyone looked forward. Sure enough, in the dark night, there were figures in front of them. The torches flickered on and off. It looked like there were tens of thousands of people.

Could it be the ambush of the Chao family army here?

He Anbang was equally astonished, he had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, so could it be said that he would fall into the pack of wolves again.

"The whole army is on alert!"

He Anbang sent the order.

"Ahead is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The last general, An Tonggui, is here to greet you."

Just when everyone in He Anbang was in fear, a voice suddenly came from the darkness ahead, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that An Tonggui, Zhangqiu's guard, came to greet him with his army.

He Anbang calmed down, regained his majesty, immediately rode forward, and responded loudly, "The prince is here, General An has worked hard."

Not long after, the army and horses in front became clearer and clearer. Sure enough, they were the army and horses in Zhangqiu City. The leading general was none other than the guard general An Tonggui.

When An Tonggui saw that it was indeed His Highness the Crown Prince, he hurriedly stepped forward on his horse, turned over and dismounted, and bowed to the Crown Prince He Anbang, pushing his head like a jade pillar on top of a mountain of gold.

"The last general, An Tonggui, came too late to rescue him. Please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"General An came at the right time, please hurry up."

Seeing An Tonggui, Prince He Anbang's heart was completely relieved, and with soldiers and horses by his side, he was not afraid of Chao's army's pursuit.

Immediately Prince He Anbang followed An Tonggui back to Zhangqiu City.

The next day outside Zhangqiu City was unusually quiet, as if there was no war, both sides agreed tacitly and did not send troops.

The Chao family's army fought hard all night and cleaned the battlefield. Chao Tian saw that the soldiers were tired, so he hung up the battle-free card and rested for a day.

But Zhen Xianglin and Fan Chenglong led [-] soldiers and horses, pretending to be Qilu reinforcements, quietly left the barracks, took a detour towards the mountains, and then turned back to Zhangqiu.

Let Prince He Anbang believe that they came from the direction of the mountains.

In Zhangqiu City, He Anbang rested for a whole day and finally regained his energy. However, when he thought of the Chao family's army outside the city, he frowned.

He had always underestimated Chao's army before, but after that night of fighting, He Anbang realized that he had underestimated the other party. Chao's army was much more powerful than Qilu's army.

"It's a pity that the Guishuang cavalry led by General Tuoba Ruo has not arrived yet, otherwise there is no reason to be afraid of Chao's army." Crown Prince He Anbang murmured.

"General Yin, where has the follow-up main force arrived? Why hasn't it arrived yet?" He Anbang urged again impatiently.

Yin Dinglun was also a little helpless, no matter how fast the [-] soldiers and horses were, it would take two or three days to arrive, but the Crown Prince kept urging him regardless, Yin Dinglun was helpless.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the general has sent out three groups of troops to urge us. I believe we will arrive at Zhangqiu soon." Yin Dinglun bowed and saluted, and answered perfunctorily.

He Anbang nodded, completely unable to understand the perfunctory meaning in Yin Dinglun's words, "When the main force arrives, this crown prince must smash Chao Tian's body into thousands of pieces to vent his hatred!"

"Your Highness, reinforcements from outside the city are coming."

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and An Tonggui walked in happily, clasping his fists and saluting Prince He Anbang.

"really?"

"Hahaha…"

"Great, how many people are there! Open the city gate quickly."

Prince He Anbang was overjoyed when he heard about the reinforcements, and immediately ordered An Tonggui to open the city gate.

"His Royal Highness, there are only [-] soldiers and horses outside the city? It looks like he just experienced a big battle." An Tonggui replied suspiciously.

Hearing An Tonggui's answer, Prince He Anbang was puzzled for a while, how could only 8 troops come back, and where did the other [-] horses go.

"Let's go, let's go to the city wall." Immediately, the crown prince He Anbang said something, and quickly left the hall of the county government office.

Prince He Anbang came to the city wall, and sure enough, he saw [-] Qilu soldiers and horses outside the city, in a state of distress, as if they had escaped from the defeat.

"Where is your general? Come out and answer."

He Anbang supported the city wall and shouted towards the army horses below the city.

Not long after, a man dressed as a general came out of the chaos of 2 horses.

"The last general, Zhenjin, lieutenant colonel, pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

This Zhenjin is Zhen Xianglin, because Fan Chenglong served as a general in the Qilu Army, so he is easy to be recognized by others, but Zhen Xianglin is not.

"Where is your chief general, Liu Boquan? Why are there only 2 of you?" Prince He Anbang asked.

Zhen Xianglin showed fear on his face, and replied: "His Royal Highness, we arrived at the mountain with General Liu, and suddenly the Chao family army ambushed all around. General Liu was outnumbered and died in battle."

"The last general worked so hard that he led 2 people to escape."

Hearing the words of Zhen Xianglin under the city, Prince He Anbang's face paled for a while, he had hoped that a hundred thousand soldiers and horses would arrive in Zhangqiu, and he would be able to avenge his hatred.

He didn't expect Chao's army to be so sinister and vicious, setting up an ambush on the mountain ahead of time, so that only [-] of his [-] troops came back.

But what He Anbang didn't expect was that when they passed the mountains, they were also ambushed by Chao's army, but their luck and Li Cunxiao's will to go his own way allowed them to escape.

"Open the city gate and let them in."

After all, it was his own military horse, and having [-] people was better than none, so He Anbang waved his hand feebly, and ordered the military horse to open the city gate.

The gate of Zhangqiu City slowly opened.

Fan Chenglong and Zhen Xianglin, who were among the crowd in the city, looked at each other, and the murderous aura erupted all over their bodies, violently.

"Fan Chenglong is here!"

"Zhen Xianglin is here, capture He Anbang alive!"

"Rush in!"

The two men got on their horses almost at the same time, each holding a weapon and rushed into the city.

Dozens of Qilu Army soldiers at the gate of the city were hacked to death by Chao Family Army soldiers like wolves and tigers before they could react.

"Oh, I fell for it!"

Hearing the sound of killing from under the city gate, Prince He Anbang was shocked and exclaimed that he had fallen for the trick. There was no reinforcements under the city, but Chao's army and horses.

Unexpectedly, when he had just made a sneak attack on the Chao family's army camp, Chao Tian's son deceived the Zhangqiu city gate with a backhand.

rumbling one by one
As soon as He Anbang raised his head, his eyes froze suddenly. He could only see smoke and dust billowing in the sky outside the city. It was not necessary to assume that it was the main force of Chao's army.

He Anbang was shocked and confused.
