Just as the stalemate reached its climax, someone outside the alley shouted, "Quick! Hurry to Zhennan! The general is surrounded!"

Has Abudushalamu appeared?

Both of them were startled. Wutong thought for a moment, then sheathed her short sword, jumped onto her horse, and galloped away, no longer paying attention to Wu Datou.

Wu Datou's role was merely to mobilize troops; now that Abuduo has appeared, there's no need to pressure him further.

But Abudo was surrounded by people... what does that mean?

Was he trapped too?

Thinking too much was pointless, so she quickened her pace and hurried forward.

Zhennan and Pianmen are in two different directions. On the way to Zhennan, Wutong stopped at the General's Mansion.

She remembered that when Lieutenant Li left, he asked her to pass something to Abudo, which seemed to be a military tally for mobilizing the city's defense forces. However, too many things happened afterward, and she has not found an opportunity to give it to Abudo until now.

This thing will definitely come in handy!

She went back to her room, retrieved the item, put it in her pocket, and mounted her horse.

Finally arriving at the south of the town, Wutong could hear the sound of weapons coming from afar.

Many grapevines were planted in the south of the town, and the grapevines were piled up on the ground, all twisted and crooked.

When she arrived, many residents were still fleeing from that area. Wutong tried to grab someone to ask what was going on, but as soon as they saw her terrifying appearance, they ran even faster.

She had no choice but to keep riding forward. As the distance closed, she could vaguely hear Abdo's voice, which sounded extremely angry.

"Wu Tong!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from her left. She turned her head and saw that it was Nanxing.

"what are you doing here?"

Nanxing didn't answer, but beckoned to her: "Come with me."

Wutong leaped off his horse and walked to his corner. Nanxing pushed aside the grape leaves blocking his view and looked out through the gap, getting a clear view of what was happening over there.

There were several hundred Dongqi people in the south of the town, while Abuduo only led a team of about ten guards. He was surrounded by them and struggled like a trapped beast.

Many soldiers from southern Xinjiang were wounded, and Abudo was also covered in blood, it was unclear whether it was his or the enemy's, and the scene looked extremely gruesome.

He was born with superhuman strength, but even two fists can't fight four hands, and he was trapped by those people and couldn't break free.

Wutong gasped, "How could this be?"

Nanxing shook his head: "I don't know either. It was like this when I rushed here after hearing the news from the barracks."

Wutong asked, "Do the people in the barracks know what's going on here?"

Nanxing said, "I only heard the news, but without the commander's order, I dare not act rashly."

Wutong said helplessly, "Why is Abuduo so reckless? If he were still outside, he could at least call for reinforcements."

Now he is trapped. Wu Datou has been defeated, and Lieutenant Li is not here. There is no one in command in the entire camp!

The people of Dongqi are fierce fighters. With so many residents in the town, are we just supposed to stand by and watch them burn, kill, and loot?

Nanxing said, "Actually, he probably wanted to call for reinforcements, you see..."

He pointed to the open city gate and said, "Going out from here is the closest way to the military camp, but the Dongqi people are too fast and have blocked him here."

Wutong gritted her teeth and said, "We have to save him!"

Otherwise, the town would be finished.

Moreover, the number of Dongqi people who entered this time was only a few hundred. It is unknown whether they were a band of robbers spontaneously formed by civilians or a team sent by the government to test the waters.

If it is the latter, and they learn that the defenses behind Moon Gate Pass are weak, they might order a large force to attack, and the consequences would be unimaginable!

Nanxing said, "We can barely save ourselves, how can we save him?"

Wutong was just a guard with no military rank. Few people respected her normally, so in this chaotic situation, who would listen to her?

Everyone had already rushed off to save their own lives.

Wutong shook her head and said, "That's not necessarily true."

She took the military tally out of her pocket, intending to explain its purpose to Nanxing, but Nanxing seemed to recognize it and exclaimed, "A military tally?"

Wutong asked, puzzled, "Yes, how do you know me?"

Nanxing touched his nose to cover up his embarrassment: "I saw it when Commandant Li gave it to you that day."

“Is that so… Never mind.” Wutong said, “Anyway, I’ve heard before that this military tally can mobilize the city’s defense troops, that is, the people in the yamen, about a hundred of them. I’ll take it now and gather them up.”

Nanxing said, "Will it really work? The city garrison is idle most of the time, and these Dongqi people are so powerful and numerous. How can we possibly defeat them?"

This is indeed a tricky problem...

If the difference in strength is too great, even if you manage to call someone over, they'll only be sent to their deaths.

Wutong's head ached from thinking so much. She looked left and right, and finally her gaze settled on the city gate and the city wall.

The city gates were open, and the city walls were deserted; the guards had all vanished.

The people standing at the foot of the wall are all from Dongqi. Abdo is still under siege, but he should be able to hold out for a little longer.

"I've got it!" She clapped her hands, pulled Nanxing over and explained this and that, then asked, "Are you sure you can do it?"

Nanxing looked at her and nodded.

Wutong patted his shoulder: "I'm counting on you! I'll go right now!"

She glanced at Abuduo in the encirclement, praying in her heart that he would be lucky enough to survive until she returned. Then she mounted Fufu and headed straight for the government office.

Nanxing left at the same time, but instead of heading to the yamen, he went to the general's mansion in the opposite direction.

Fifteen minutes had passed, and Abudo, who was in the encirclement, was already feeling completely exhausted.

There were too many enemies; one was cut down only for another to take its place, giving him no chance to breathe.

The dozen or so guards around him, after falling, never got up again.

In the end, he was the only one left in the encirclement, dressed in the uniform of a soldier from the southern border, and he actually fought against a hundred men single-handedly.

Abudo wasn't afraid. He was naturally bold, and he had spent a whole day drinking with Jin Jiao'er before coming. After hearing that the Dongqi people were attacking the city, he mounted his horse and came in a daze, without thinking of escaping.

But the more time passed, the more desperate I felt.

Where are his soldiers? Where are his deputies? Where is his army?

Why is he the only one left?

In this situation, even if he died on the battlefield and sacrificed his life for his country, he would still feel resentful.

Three or four Dongqi men formed a cavalry unit and charged at him. Abdo wielded his knife and cut off most of the horse's legs. He fell to the ground with the movement, too weak to get up and attack the rest.

The Dongqi man seized the opportunity and raised his scimitar to slash at his back.

At the critical moment, the inertia cultivated over years of fighting made Abdo roll to the left, dodging the scimitar at a vital point, but inevitably, his shoulder was slashed with a deep cut that exposed the bone!

Abudo groaned, his hands losing strength, and the broadsword fell to the ground.

Can a general without a sword still be considered a general?

In the eyes of the enemy, he was already a prisoner.
