Chapter 75: The Loyal Soul (3)
"General!" Seeing this, everyone hurriedly exclaimed and was about to come forward to check.
Li Xiaofeng, who fell to the ground, slowly stretched out his right arm, waved it slightly, and then drooped down casually.
At this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately afterward, wails began to erupt from the mouths of the crowd.
Li Jian under the city didn't know that Li Xiaofeng and others were in the city, and on the huge city wall, Li Xiaofeng and the others had less than 100 people, and they were basically all lying there, so Li Jian directly commanded the team to cover up and kill the retreating Qi army.
Just a few minutes after Li Jian led the people to chase and kill, Lin Feng led a hundred and ten people to the city wall in the southeast corner, and without stopping at all, he directly led the crowd to rush to the city wall.
When Lin Feng stepped on the city wall for the first time, he looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned for a moment.
Yuan Biao behind him was very curious, and when he was about to step forward to ask, he also saw a scene on the city wall, and at the same time they were all stunned.
And less than a hundred people who only survived, after seeing Lin Feng who was standing in place and had no next move, they all slowly turned their heads to stare at Lin Feng.
When everyone's eyes stayed on Lin Feng, Lin Feng slowly spoke, his voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear clearly: "Brothers, you have worked hard!" Attaboy! ”
No one replied, perhaps no one had the strength to reply.
But each of them invariably squeezed out a smile in response to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng not only saw the smiles they were trying to squeeze out, but also saw the tears flickering in their eyes.
Lin Feng slowly walked to the person closest to him, squatted down, reached out and grabbed the person's shoulder tightly, and asked in a choked voice, "Brother, how is it?" Where did it hurt? Is it serious? ”
Faced with Lin Feng's series of questions, the man just shook his head slowly, smiled faintly, and replied softly: "Master Hou, it's okay, it's just a small injury!" ”
Lin Feng glanced at him deeply, the hand holding his shoulder tightened again, and then let go, slowly stood up, looked around at everyone, Lin Feng turned his head and said to Yuan Biao: "Send a message back to Hanzhong Mansion, the brothers who died in the battle this time will have a pension of one thousand taels each!" ”
Then Lin Feng glanced back at the surviving people, and made a promise to everyone: "This battle, all the soldiers are a great achievement!" You should first recuperate from your injuries, and then return to the army after your injuries are healed, and then all of them will be equipped with pentagonal maple badges, and as for the position, you will be rewarded at that time. From then on, all of you present will have their salaries doubled! ”
After finishing speaking, Lin Feng turned around and shook his head at the hundred and ten people he brought, and shouted in a deep voice: "What are you still looking at!" Hurry up and help! ”
"Brother-in-law! Water.. In front of Lin Feng, Li Xiaofeng, who was lying on the ground, suddenly stretched out his right arm and said in a weak voice.
"Xiaofeng!" After Lin Feng heard the voice, he exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to Yuan Biao behind him: "Water, water!" ”
Yuan Biao also hurriedly handed the kettle to Lin Feng, followed Lin Feng to Li Xiaofeng's side, and while Lin Feng handed Li Xiaofeng the kettle, he suddenly remembered one thing, and hurriedly turned his head and shouted at everyone: "Don't give them too much water, be careful to burst your stomach!" ”
After Lin Feng's reminder, everyone hurriedly reacted, two of the wounded were holding the kettle and drinking water, and they also hurriedly put it down, just took a few small sips, slowly moistening their chapped lips and throat.
After Li Xiaofeng took a few small mouthfuls of water, he slowly leaned on Lin Feng's body, holding his gentian bright silver spear in his right hand, and said to Lin Feng in a choked voice: "Brother-in-law, there are three thousand, three thousand... Whining.. ”
Li Xiaofeng actually cried as he spoke, Lin Feng hurriedly hugged him, and let this child, who was still a child, whimper.
Suddenly, because of Li Xiaofeng's leadership, the rest of the people began to sobb in a low voice, and even the hundred and ten people brought by Lin Feng turned their heads to the side, unable to bear to look at this scene.
Some of them quietly raised their hands to wipe the tears that flowed out.
Lin Feng's heart was also in great pain at this time, since he climbed the city wall and saw this scene, he had already understood in his heart, there were three thousand people, and there was less than one left in front of him.
It was painful, but he couldn't cry.
Because this is a war, even Lin Feng didn't expect it to be so tragic before, but after all, as the commander of one side, and his experience in Ji Doushan, he has already made him a little accustomed to this.
Even if he wasn't used to it, what could he do? He still has to accept this reality, war is cruel, and he understands this truth very well.
In the bleak night, on the corpse-strewn city wall, the less than 100 survivors gradually turned from a low whimper to a wail.
The cry, as it sounded, was unusually miserable.
After a long time, the scene gradually calmed down.
Lin Feng slowly let go of Li Xiaofeng, who was in his arms, looked at Li Xiaofeng, who was already asleep due to excessive physical exhaustion, glanced at Yuan Biao beside him, and slowly turned his back, Yuan Biao hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Xiaofeng on Lin Feng's back.
Lin Feng slowly stood up, glanced at Li Xiaofeng, who was sleeping on his shoulder, and then looked at the wounded soldiers around him, as if talking to himself, and as if he was saying to everyone present: "I'll take you back!" ”
After finishing speaking, Lin Feng took a step, but he felt that every step was particularly heavy. It's not that he feels heavy because he has one more person on his back, but that he feels heavy from the consequences of the war.
In the county office, Cheng Ling, who was the first to retreat, broke into Huang Kui's room in a panic.
And Huang Kuo was also pacing back and forth in the room, because he could hear the faint shouts of killing coming into the room in the room, but he didn't know what the battle was like.
When Huang Hua saw Cheng Ling's panicked expression, he immediately understood, but he was still lucky, and hurriedly greeted him, and asked anxiously, "General Cheng, how is it outside?" **Returned? ”
Faced with Huang Kui's problem, Cheng Ling couldn't care about Haikou that he had boasted about in order to get the token to mobilize the army as soon as possible, and said directly to Huang Kuo: "His Royal Highness King Qin, let's pack up our things and withdraw!" **The main force has entered the city, and it is about to hit here! ”
"What? How so? Don't we have tens of thousands of defenders? Although Huang had already guessed the result, he was still shocked when he heard the news with his own ears.
"Hey! Don't mention it! ** has already arranged internal response in the city, and tonight their internal response should be combined with the outside without the knowledge of our army, and opened the east gate to let the main force enter the city! Cheng Ling irresponsibly made up a nonsense, although he was defeated, Cheng Ling still decided to take himself out first, so as not to hold himself accountable for his ineffective command in the future.
"So, what do we do now?" Huang Kui has now completely become a master of the six gods, and he also understands that in the current situation, he can only rely on Cheng Ling in front of him.
"Withdraw! Evacuate! Withdraw to Fengzhou City in the rear! Cheng Ling didn't hesitate at all to say what he wanted, and he didn't think about what Huang Chao would do with them.
"Yes, yes! Withdraw to Fengzhou! My royal brother still has a heavy army there! Huang Kuai, who was panicked, didn't think about the consequences at all, and after listening to Cheng Ling's method, he quickly nodded and agreed.
