Chu Feng brought three soldiers with him who were skilled in martial arts as mobile team members, ready to provide support wherever needed at any time.

After they were deployed, the governor Wu spoke again tremblingly, "Guard Chu, with just... just... just a few people, how can we deal with tens of thousands of them? Can we defend Yongzhou City from being captured?"

Pei Hansheng glanced at Governor Wu with an unhappy look on his face, "This is not a question of whether we can hold on, but we must defend Yongzhou City to the death."

Chu Feng was very impressed when he heard Pei Hansheng say this. He was really a man of blood. No wonder the prince said he was a good man. Most of the other officials did not show any fear, because they thought that if they fell into the hands of the rebels, everything would be over for them.

Chu Feng did not want to expose General Peng and his men's whereabouts for the time being, but he also wanted to give these officials some confidence, so he looked at everyone and said, "Don't worry, as long as we hold on for a day or two, reinforcements will arrive."

Pei Hansheng saw that it was almost dawn, so he said to Chu Feng: "Guard Chu, you have traveled all night, you should go and rest for a while and eat something. I will go and gather the city defense troops."

"Pei Zhou Yin, it will be dawn soon and time to open the city gates. We must go to the city gates as soon as possible."

Peizhou Yin was not polite at this time, "Okay, I'll have someone take you there."

The governor Xia Jinghong also said: "I will have someone bring you food later."

Pei Hansheng then ordered several of his guards to take Chu Feng and the others to the three city gates, while he and his subordinate officials gathered all the city defense troops.

Just before dawn, the tranquility of Yongzhou City was broken by the sound of whistles, and the troops in Yongzhou City were being deployed in full swing.

At this time, on two official roads some distance away from Yongzhou City, the sounds of horse hooves and the "dong dong" of hurried marching feet could be heard. The two teams of horses were running towards Yongzhou City at a high speed from different directions.

One of the troops, led by General Peng, crossed the border of Xiayongzhou and split into two groups. One group headed for Shiha City, while the other group, led by General Peng himself, rushed quickly towards Yongzhou City.

At this time, a faint light appeared in the sky. General Peng and his deputy guards rode their war horses and rushed along the official road. The soldiers behind them were not to be outdone and all ran forward.

General Peng looked at his soldiers who had not rested for a whole day and night and were still running. He said to them in a distressed voice, "Soldiers, I will rush over first. You can rest for a while before you go."

The soldiers said in unison: "General, we can do it."

"Okay, then we'll rest when we get to Yongzhou City."

Their team was almost out of the territory of Xia Yongzhou when they received the call from Prince Jing, so they rushed back all night and had not yet reached Yongzhou City.

Xue Jianlei and Qi Feng, with their team of more than 20,000 people, were getting closer and closer to Yongzhou City.

It was already dawn, and outside the gates of Yongzhou City were already lined with people who wanted to enter the city.

The city gate opened with a "creak" as the people waited in anticipation. The soldiers standing in line at the gate checked the people one by one and let them into the city one by one.

The people entering the city did not feel that today was any different from the past. Only the soldiers guarding the city gate would occasionally glance at the distant road.

In fact, there are people on lookout on the gate towers of the west, south and north gates of Yongzhou City. These people are using the military binoculars given to them by Ouyang Yunyao to observe in the distance.

At this time, Chu Feng was sitting in person on the gate tower of the most critical west gate. He was holding a telescope and looking into the distance. Next to him stood Pei Zhouyin, the governor Xia Jinghong and many other officials from Yongzhou City.

It had been nearly three quarters of an hour since they arrived at the city wall. Some of the officials could no longer stand and were muttering to themselves that they had not seen any large army coming yet, so it seemed a waste of time.

Chu Chenfeng was thinking about asking these officials to go back, as they didn’t know when those people would come.

But at this moment, Chu Feng suddenly saw through the telescope a soldier on horseback running towards the city gate at a very fast speed. He handed the telescope to Pei Hansheng and said, "Pei Zhou Yin, take a look. Is that soldier sent out by you?"

Pei Hansheng took the telescope handed over by Chu Feng, and held it up lovingly. In an instant, he saw a small dot in the distance become very large and very close. He saw the soldier's face clearly and said, "Guard Chu, this soldier was sent out by me. It seems that he has found out the news."

In just a moment, the soldier was almost at the city gate. At this time, he saw Pei Hansheng standing on the tower and shouted loudly, "Pei Zhou Yin, a large army is coming."

At the same time he quickly rushed into the city gate.

Pei Hansheng glanced at the city gate and saw that there were only one or two civilians at the gate who had not yet entered the city, and no more civilians would come later. He had already sent soldiers to block the civilians in several small paths around, telling them not to enter the city today.

Immediately, Peizhou Yin ordered, "Close the city gates."

The soldiers guarding the city gate heard the sound of the gate closing, and quickly pulled the two civilians into the city, closed the gate, and reinforced it with bars.

After a while, a group of people appeared in the telescope and moved towards them. In front was a leader with several people riding on tall horses, and behind them was a team that was endless, and everyone held a weapon in his hand.

The troops were getting closer and closer, and the soldiers and officials standing on the city wall could all see the dark mass of troops ahead. The governor Wu's legs were shaking at the sight of so many troops coming.

There were two other timid officials who looked at the hundreds of soldiers on the city wall and the army of tens of thousands in the distance, and cold sweats broke out on their heads. Several city guards also felt nervous when they saw this scene.

Pei Hansheng looked at the frightened expressions of these people and shouted, "Don't be afraid, everyone. We have the Jing Yong Army of Prince Jing to help us defend the city. As long as we hold on for one day, reinforcements will arrive. I will defend Yongzhou City with you all until our death."

Seeing that their governor was not afraid and wanted to defend the city with them, everyone's morale was boosted instantly, and they all shouted together, "Defend Yongzhou City."

Pei Hansheng asked everyone to be quiet, looked at the army getting closer and closer, and gave the order "According to the plan."

At this time, he and his officials left the front of the tower one after another, and Chu Feng ordered the soldiers of the Artifact Battalion, "Prepare for battle."

All the soldiers of the Artifact Battalion found their attacking positions on the city wall, placed their grenades and bullets, and entered a state of combat readiness.

The soldiers of the city defense army had found their positions on the city wall, and had arranged the stones and bows and arrows, waiting quietly.
