Chapter 247 The Horn of Retreat

In the sound of the retreating horn, the middle-aged man took Zhou Dongnan and ran all the way back to Xiyuan City, and then he was only heard shouting at the group of soldiers guarding the city, "Medical doctor! Quickly call the military doctor!! "

"Zhou, Zhou Jie..."

Hearing the voice, the middle-aged man known as Zhou Jie responded quickly, "The end will be here."

"No, don't stay in this city for too long." Zhou Dongnan, who was already bleeding a little too much at this time, tried his best to say, "After all the troops outside have withdrawn, close this east gate, and then go directly from the west gate. Evacuate!"

"Evacuate?" Zhou Jie was taken aback when he heard this, "But Your Majesty..."

"It doesn't matter to me." Zhou Dongnan gritted his teeth and said in a voice that didn't seem to matter no matter how he heard it, "As long as you pull out the arrow, you can simply stop the bleeding first."

Speaking of this, Zhou Dongnan took two hard breaths, and then spoke again, "The siege force of the other side is too strong to stay in this city, that is to wait for death, and evacuate directly from the west gate, the east gate of this city. After closing it and destroying the organs of the East City Gate, why can you buy a little time at that time?"

"The last general takes orders!"

"Right, and..."

"Your Majesty, you will listen to me at the end."

"Before leaving, set me two fires in this city!" While speaking, Zhou Dongnan's eyes flashed with unconcealed viciousness, "Didn't he want to take this city back? Then I'll give it back to him. That's it!"

Hearing this, Zhou Jie's pupils shrank obviously, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak, and then backed away.

At the same time, outside the city of Nishihara...

"Huh—" With a long breath, the longbow in Luo Ji's hand fell to the ground, and his hands that were completely exhausted fell like that.

Afterwards, Liu Meng, who arrived, got off his horse with a terrified expression on his face, and then knelt down on the ground, "The last commander is late for the escort, please punish the leader!"

Luo Ji did not respond to Liu Meng's plea for guilt, or whether he heard Liu Meng's words clearly was a problem. The whole person seemed a little dazed.

Maintaining this state, I don't know how long it took, Luo Ji looked down at Liu Meng who was still kneeling on the ground, and then slowly said, "Liu Meng, you are injured."

"It's just a small injury, thank you boss for your concern."

"Is it a minor injury?" He glanced at Liu Meng, whose half of his body was already soaked in blood, and then turned to look at the battlefield that had just experienced a fight. Ji felt a shock, "Go gather the troops, place the wounded, and then call someone to clean up the battlefield."

"Leader, clean up the battlefield now?" For a while, Liu Meng, who was a little unresponsive, glanced at Xiyuan City with its gates closed.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Luo Ji spoke again, "If he had any brains, he should gather his troops now and evacuate from the West Gate."

"Then we..." Liu Meng's voice stopped abruptly when he was halfway through. He originally wanted to ask if he wanted to send a troop to chase him, but after thinking about it carefully, how to chase? At this time, the Dongcheng Gate is dead, and they can't get in. If they go around, can they walk in a straight line on the opposite side? In addition, the soldiers under his command have just experienced a fierce battle, with heavy casualties, and there is really no spare energy to pursue the enemy.

Thinking of this, Liu Meng swallowed the words he said, and just as he was about to respond to Luo Ji's order, the thick smoke suddenly rising from Xiyuan City in the distance made him pause. The whole person suddenly changed his face, "Chief, leader! Nishihara Castle is on fire!"

"That guy!!!" Luo Ji, who had already realized what had happened, had an ugly expression on his face, and after regaining some strength, he hurriedly rode the fire and rushed outside the East City Gate, then shouted, "The one in the West Plains City. People listen! I'm Luo Ji, quickly open the city gate and let us in!!"

After Luo Ji shouted three times with all his strength, a young man stuck his head out from the city wall, "Yes, is that the leader?!"

"It's me! Quickly open the city gate!!"

The bright light armor and the blazing fire under the seat can basically be said to be Luo Ji's signature. After seeing the young man on the city wall, he was overjoyed, "Leader, wait a minute, I'll open the door right now!"

However, after a period of time, Luo Ji's heart sank as he looked at the city gate that had not moved for a long time, and then in the next second, inside the city gate, the young man's voice rang again, with a tone in his voice. There was a bit of obvious crying, "Boss, the structure of the East City Gate was destroyed by those outsiders, and now the city gate can't be opened!"

"That bastard!" The moment the guess in his heart was confirmed, Luo Ji's face couldn't help but look even more ugly, and then he shouted, "Call the people in the city to put out the fire together! Be careful to control the fire, and put the nearby Remove all flammables! And..."

After finishing the instructions, Luo Ji decisively led a group of people around Xiyuan City to the West City Gate...

At the same time, after a simple hemostasis treatment by the military doctor, Zhou Dongnan, who was in a state of embarrassment, also evacuated from the West City Gate with his infantry troops early...

Looking at the long army, in the woods on the right outside the west gate of Xiyuan City, Liu Kai, who was leading troops to hide in the woods, frowned.

He was in ambush here. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the opponent's defeat and flee, and lead three hundred cavalry to suddenly attack and take down the leader of the foreign invader, but he didn't expect that the situation was a bit different from what he expected. , the remaining troops of the other side are still more than 3,000 people.

Bringing 300 cavalry to attack an army with more than ten times his strength, even if it was a surprise attack, it would be courting death. As a wise general, Liu Kai would obviously not do such a thing.

Just when he was thinking about what to do next, the lieutenant next to him suddenly exclaimed, "General, Nishihara Castle is on fire!!"

"What?!" Hearing this, Liu Kaixin was startled, and quickly turned his head to look in the direction of Xiyuan City. As expected, there was thick smoke billowing over Xiyuan City, and the light of fire could be seen vaguely.

All of a sudden, a whole cavalry unit, every cavalryman looked at the alien army in the distance with full of resentment, "To set fire to the city? Those damn aliens!!"

"Never let them go!"

"Kill them all! Be sure to kill them all!!"

Compared with the soldiers who were already filled with righteous indignation, Zhang Yan's promotion to lieutenant-general was obviously an advantage. At the critical moment, he sighed, "General, we are now..."

"I'll take a hundred cavalry to follow and take a look. You bring the rest back to Xiyuan City to help fight the fire, and at the same time report the situation on our side to the leaders!"
