Chapter 473

He was afraid that Yunwu would be breached, so he rode as fast as he could.

Even when eating, the horses didn't stop.

So by this time, they had already reached their limit.

Coupled with this charge just now.

If the Qiang army behind were to attack now, Duan Yu could guarantee his own safety, but the thousand cavalry behind him would be in trouble.

Zhao Ang, who had been scolded on the wall, shrank his neck in fear and then timidly asked: "You... how can you prove your identity?"

Duan Yu looked up at Zhao Ang.

He thought to himself, where did this idiot come from?

Tie Shitou casually fished out Duan Yu's tiger tally and official seal from inside his armor.

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly."

Tie Shitou roared: "The Prefect of Hanyang Commandery, Marquis of Guoting, and Zhonglang General for the Xiongnu is here; why don't you open the city gate quickly!"

Zhao Ang then gulped and ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.

At this time, a thick layer of corpses had already piled up in front of the east gate.

Most were Qiang, and a small portion were Han soldiers.

When the soldiers moved the corpses aside, Duan Yu rode his horse, bringing Tie Shitou and the thousand cavalry behind him into the city.

As the army entered the city, the city gates closed again.

The cavalry Duan Yu brought, after entering the city, immediately dismounted.

The long-distance, high-intensity raid, plus the forced march when they set out from Hanyang Commandery, had already left everyone exhausted.

This was still the eight hundred Flying Bear Cavalry under Dong Zhuo.

If it had been ordinary cavalry, they probably would have collapsed from exhaustion before reaching their destination.

The dismounted cavalry didn't dare to close their legs.

Because their thighs and buttocks had been rubbing against the saddles for a long time, most of them were already chafed raw.

The dismounted soldiers walked with their legs splayed.

Duan Yu also dismounted with some fatigue.

"Who is in command in the city now?" Duan Yu asked after dismounting.

At this time, several military commanders and platoon leaders on the east gate wall, as well as the County Magistrate Zhao Ang, walked down from the wall.

When he saw Duan Yu, who was stained with blood, Zhao Ang hung his head and no longer looked directly at Duan Yu.

"This general is asking a question; are you deaf?"

Duan Yu frowned and asked again: "Who is in command here now!"

Zhao Ang then stepped forward a small step and said with his head down: "It... it is this subordinate; this subordinate is the County Magistrate of Yunwu, Zhao Ang."

Zhao Ang?

Duan Yu felt that the name sounded a bit familiar.

"And... and... and General Tian."

"Which General Tian, what is his name?" Duan Yu asked impatiently.

Why did this County Magistrate of Yunwu speak so hesitantly, like a young girl?

"It... it is the former Zhonglang General for Breaking the Xianbei, Tian Yan, General Tian."

Tian Yan?

Duan Yu knew this person.

He was the Tian Yan who attacked Tanshihuai together with Xia Yu and Zang Min in the sixth year of Xiping.

Later, because of the defeat, he was demoted to a commoner.

He had heard from Jia Xu that Tian Yan was from a powerful clan in Liangzhou.

Duan Yu also noticed that when Zhao Ang spoke, the expressions of those military commanders were very disdainful.

But when Tian Yan was mentioned, their expressions were very serious.

In an instant, Duan Yu seemed to understand what was going on.

Look at Zhao Ang's body; there wasn't a single drop of blood.

The armor he wore was crooked, and the sword he held hadn't even been stained with blood.

"Where is Old General Tian?"

Duan Yu looked at those military commanders and asked: "Take this general to see him."

Several military commanders nodded busily and said: "Just now the west city was in an emergency, and Old General Tian took his family generals to support it; we will take General Duan there right now." ===== CHAPTER 475 =====
