Chapter 235 - Leaving Again
The west of the city, the west of the city, the port.
Liu Changan, Pang Huiying, Long Xun and others stood on a high place, looking at the fist-sized warship on the sea.
"General Liu, what should we do? Why don't you let me lead people to rush out of a bloody road and go back to Xincheng to bring food!"
"There is still enough food for a few days, no hurry!Alasβit's all my fault, I didn't expect the defense of Gongtianhe to collapse so quickly, let alone that we would need to hold on to the West Devouring City. β
Yang Yue'er obediently was in Pang Huiying's arms, quietly looking at the sea.
Pang Huiying glanced at it a few times and lowered his head to tease Yang Yue'er.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to go to Shangcho City to see Sister Yuhe and Sister Bing'er, and - what if my brother comes back. β
"Then you should have said it earlier, we're surrounded now. Speaking of which, this is the third day of our arrival in the West Devouring City, and the South River should send a letter today. It's just this situation, how can they send the letter?"
"Is there anything important about Nanhe today?"
Liu Changan and Long Xun looked at Pang Huiying, unable to hide their nervousness.
If there was no Nanhe Army, with only their remaining more than 10,000 people, the West Devouring City would have been broken long ago.
"No, when I left Nanhe, I instructed them to send me a letter every three days, even if there was no major incident. Today is the third day, and Nanhe has been doing nothing. β
"Whew-"
"The West Devouring City is really inseparable from the general, so-"
Pang Huiying smiled and shook his head, not saying much. Everyone looked at it for a while, and Yang Yue'er rubbed her eyes.
"Uncle, I'm so sleepy. β
"Haha, you little lazy worm, you only sleep every day except for eating, aren't you afraid that you won't look good when you grow up?"
Pang Huiying nodded to Liu Changan and Long Xun, turned around and walked towards the mansion.
"Huh, won't you look good?"
"Of course, not only will you not look good, but you will also grow a lot of beard. β
"Huh?!"
Yang Yue'er let go of her hand and kicked her calf hard.
"Don't, I don't want to grow a beard, I don't want to go to sleep, uncle, let go of me, I'm going to continue watching the sea here. β
"It's not about looking at the sea all the time, it's about moving around a lot. Only by moving more can Yue'er grow up quickly and become more and more beautiful. β
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, when did my uncle deceive Yue'er. β
"Then let's go to the east of the city, uncle, you run, run, I'll chase." β
"Hahaha-okay, Yue'er needs to hurry up. β
Pang Huiying put down Yang Yue'er and took a few steps.
"Ahhh β
Yang Yue'er stretched out her hand and hurriedly caught up, Pang Huiying laughed heartily in front of her, and kept a certain distance from Yue'er.
Liu Changan and Long Xun smiled and watched the two walk away until they were silent.
They turned their heads to look out at the sea, their smiles slowly disappearing.
"General, there is only enough food in the city for one day, let's say so, is it really good?"
"I don't know, but that's all I can say. β
"There's less and less water in the city, and that teacherβalasβ"
"Don't worry, what Shi Qian has done, the general will personally clean him up when he comes back. β
"But we don't know where the general is now. If the general had known about Tiance, he would have come back a long time ago!"
Whenever a soldier asked about the general, he would smile and say, "The general will be here soon," but in fact he had thought of many bad things since the third day of the collapse of the front.
No matter where the general is, he knows about Tiance, and he will definitely come back quickly, but the fact is that the general has never returned!
As time passed, more than twenty days had passed since the general's departure, and he was almost desperate.
"Soon, wait. β
"Ahh If there's nothing going on here, I'll go back first. β
The change in mentality, Long Xun didn't bother to bother with the name anymore.
Liu Changan didn't care, Long Xun's relationship with him was already different from what it used to be.
"Uh-wait, you see what's going on?!"
Liu Changan raised his hand to the place where the coalition warship was, only to see the coalition warship disperse to the right.
"Seems to be chasing something. β
"Chase?!It's the messenger of Nanhe, go pick them up!"
"Yes, everyone, hurry aboard!"
Soon, Long Xun led his last thousands of subordinates and galloped away on more than a dozen warships to the coalition army.
"Go and call the huge general!"
"Yes!"
Long Xun's department had not yet rushed to the side of the coalition army, and Pang Huiying ran back with Yang Yue'er in his arms.
"What's going on?!"
"The messenger of Nanhe should be coming, the coalition forces are intercepting them, and Long Xun has led his troops to rush over. β
Pang Huiying's subordinates were all in the other three city gates, and although they were a little anxious, they could only nod.
"Hmm. β
......
There are only five of the more than ten warships that Long Xun went out, and there are no Nanhe warships.
Seeing Long Xun coming, Liu Changan was so anxious that he shouted: "Where is the messenger of Nanhe?"
Long Xun took out an envelope with a hole in the middle: "There are too many warships of the coalition army, and the last general has tried his best, and there are still more than ten zhang away from the warships of the friendly forces in Nanhe." The ship they were on fired the letter at us before it fell silent. β
Pang Huiying nodded with a calm face, took the envelope in his hand, opened it and swept it over.
Liu Changan and Long Xun only felt that their chests were suddenly a little blocked, and their faces changed greatly.
"General Pang, is there something wrong with Nanhe?"
"If something happens to Nanhe, General Pang will go back, Nanhe must not have an accident, otherwise our Tiance will really be sorry for Nanhe. β
Pang Huiying crumpled the envelope into a ball and shouted to Yang Yue'er, who was lying on the railing looking at the sea: "Yue'er, go back and pack your things, we are ready to go back to Nanhe." β
Yang Yue'er turned her head, a little tangled.
"Butβbut I haven't seen Sister Yuhe or Sister Bing'er yet. β
"Don't worry, we'll be back in a while. β
"Okay, okay, goodbye Brother Long Xun and Uncle Liu. β
"Well, Miss Yue'er don't run around when she goes back. When you return to Tiance, the general will be back. β
"Hee-hee-uh-huh-"
Liu Changan and Long Xun have been following Pang Huiying and arranging some things for him.
An hour later, the group returned to the port.
Liu Changan's head kept going back and forth between the coalition warship and Pang Huiying.
"Huge general, they have at least more than 30,000 people, you can take another 20,000 people away. We are already grateful for lending us 20,000 people. β
Pang Huiying smiled for the first time since reading the letter.
"Don't get excited, I didn't leave 40,000 people for you. Although I believe in the strength of my subordinates, without me, 20,000 people against 100,000 people would be a harm to them. β
"My 40,000 subordinates are facing 100,000 local chickens and dogs, and it may not be enough to attack out of the city, but it is more than enough to defend the west devouring city. β
At this point, it would be hypocritical to be polite.
Liu Changan hugged his fists and won a heavy bow against Pang Hui, as did Long Xun and others.
"The grace of the huge general, Tiance is unforgettable!"
"Hahaha - let's go, defend the city well, but don't wait until the next time I come back here, there are only more than 10,000 of my subordinates left, and I will fight with you. β
"We will work hard, and we will never let every soldier die in vain! All the Nanhe soldiers who died in this battle, Tiance will send enough silver as a thanks!"
"Don't talk about it, I can't help but stay and guard the city, they don't have such a good treatment with me. β
Pang Huiying patted Liu Changan on the shoulder, and was about to turn around, Liu Changan gritted his teeth and fell to Pang Huiying's ear: "This matter I told the general, Lord Xia forbade you to tell you, so please keep it secret for me." β
Pang Huiying's eyelids jumped, and he quietly hugged Yang Yue'er in his arms, nodding slightly.
"General Shenwu is the son of Yang Fengqing. β
"What?!"
Pang Huiying heard that Xia Bing'er actually asked Liu Changan and others to hide something from him, and there was no expression on his face, but he was very awkward and disgusting in his heart.
There are thousands of thoughts in his heart, but before he can straighten out those thoughts, he hears things that he has not been able to find out after five years of investigation!
How do you remember to guard against Yang Yue'er when she heard it, and stretched out her hand to pull Liu Changan's neckline: "What did you say?!You say it again!?"
Pang Huiying's eyes were too big, and his eyes seemed to fall out, coupled with his own momentum, it was quite terrifying.
Long Xun couldn't figure out what was going on, but Liu Changan was Tiance's general, and that was enough.
Draw your sword and take a step forward.
"General Huge, what do you mean by that?!"
"You dare!"
"Put your weapon down!"
The generals behind Pang Huiying drew their swords in unison.
The situation affected the ordinary soldiers around them, and many of the soldiers of the two forces standing together looked confused.
Yang Yue'er stretched out her little hand and pulled Pang Huiying's hand hard, so anxious that she cried.
"Uncle, let go, Uncle Liu is very good, Uncle Liu has bought me a lot of things, let go of it-"
Yang Yue'er's voice was the most effective, Pang Huiying shuddered, quickly let go and shouted: "Do you want to die?!Is the weapon pointed at your companion?! Put away the weapon and walk away!"
"Put away all your weapons!
Long Xun and Nanhe's generals: "......"
Yang Yue'er's somewhat anxious voice sounded again: "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Why have you been shivering? Is it cold?"
Pang Huiying stared at Liu Changan's eyes: "No, it's not cold, uncle is too happy!"
Liu Changan just nodded, and his eyes didn't blink.
He was also very nervous, he gambled again, or bet on his watchman!
"Hahaha-"
Pang Huiying raised his head and laughed, and the cheerfulness of the laughter made the Nanhe soldiers who were quietly paying attention here very stunned.
Their great general has never laughed so much in all these years.
"Uncleβ"
Pang Huiying looked down at Yang Yue'er, she was covering her ears, her little face was very uncomfortable.
"Yue'er is the luckiest person in the world. β
"What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, Gong Gaoshuang, come here!"
The eldest of the Nanhe generals hurried over.
"General!"
"After I left, everything obeyed General Liu's orders, and seeing him as if he were seeing me, understand!?"
"Understood!"
"Okay, defend the West Devouring City, if I don't have a place to stay when I come back, hehe-"
"Hey, heyβ"
Gong Gao smiled heartily.
How long has it been since the Great General has spoken to him in such a tone?!
"General Gong!"
Gong Gaoshuang's smile stopped, and he stood between Pang Huiying and Liu Changan dumbfounded.
Liu Changan was not verbose, and said cleanly: "Lead 10,000 people to escort the huge general away, break through the encirclement of the coalition forces or eliminate them and then come back!"
Of course, Gong Gaoshuang will not refuse this order.
"Yes!"
Pang Huiying shook his head with a smile on the side, and patted Liu Changan's shoulder again.
"Come back and have a few drinks, it's been a long time since I've met someone who can make me feel so comfortable. β
Liu Changan grinned rarely: "No problem! The general will also come then!"
"Hahaha-damn, I'll just say why your general hasn't come back for so long, I see. By the way, you guys have news of him lately?"
Liu Changan had a smile on his face, and shook his head: "No, but more than 300,000 Cangfeng thieves have not been able to help the general, not to mention the light and martial arts that are not in turmoil." β
"Also, if I don't talk about it, I really don't have the heart to leave. Damn, Lao Tzu didn't beat Zhang Wang to his knees and beg for mercy, it's hard to get rid of this breath!"
This time, Pang Huiying did what he said and walked quickly towards the warship.
Yang Yue'er stretched out her little hand and waved vigorously at Liu Changan and Long Xun.
"Uncle LiuβBrother Long XunβI'll be back. β
"Uh-huh, we're waiting for Miss Yue'er. β
When the warship with 20,000 soldiers of the Nanhe River sailed towards the sea, a sharp sound sounded in the place where the coalition warship was located.
The turquoise sky shimmered, and after a few breaths, a rumbling sound came from there.
Liu Changan, who was leaning on the railing, turned around and ran towards the place where the mount was placed, and shouted at the same time: "All the generals go back to the place where they are defending, the coalition army is going to attack the city!"
Liu Changan's words fell, and there were rumbling voices and shouts from the other three directions of the West Devouring City.
The ships that had left the harbor rushed to the sea, and the soldiers around the harbor ran to the other three gates.
The port, which was crowded with people before, was empty.
When the time comes to goodbye, no one can say how many people will be left.
......
The east of the city, that is, the direction in which the Gongtian River descends.
Just as a few days ago, Shi Qian stood on a low hill and looked at the city gate from afar.
"Hehe-can't think of it, right?!Don't worry, there's a lot more you can't think of!"
"Pass the order, don't leave any spare strength, attack with all your might! As long as one of the city gates is loosened, the other two armies will immediately converge!"
"Yes!"
