The flames burned from noon to evening, until they were no longer burning, and the air was filled with the disgusting smell of barbecue.

"General, drink some water first," the soldier said to General Zhang with a bowl of water.

syllable

"Fuck shit!" General Zhang, who has always been called a Confucian general, threw the bowl to the ground and burst out in front of his subordinates for the first time.

The officers in the tent were silent, not only were there a few fewer than when they set out in the morning, but many of the rest were wounded, and the wails of the soldiers were heard outside the tent.

"II...... General, the casualty statistics are out" Zhang Tian hurriedly ran in outside, and was about to scream, but when he saw General Zhang's red eyes, he hurriedly changed his words.

"Say it! Say it! How is it in the camp?"

"General, there are currently 1,372 wounded, of which 800 are seriously wounded, and 3,520 soldiers are still able to fight. And the fire has been extinguished, and no wounded soldiers have fled back, it should be ......" Zhang Tian's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped without speaking.

"Multi-...... Many...... How much? General Zhang pointed at Zhang Tian with shortness of breath, he couldn't believe his words at all, when he set out in the morning, he had more than 8,000 elite soldiers, and more than half of them were killed or injured in a blink of an eye.

"Nearly 4,000 people, this fire is gone?"

No one dared to answer General Zhang's words.

Cui Yunlong, who had been able to stand up, did not make a sound, a trace of happiness flashed in his heart, he was always on guard against the people of the Zhang family, and in the morning, he ordered his subordinates to let the soldiers of his family rush slowly, so now the remaining more than 3,500 soldiers, more than 2,000 are their own, and the 5,000 elite soldiers brought by the Zhang family this time are more than 1,000 left.

The five thousand elite soldiers that the two of them brought over this time are all families, the most elite soldiers, the loss of such a big strength will definitely be affected, although the mission has failed at present, but Cui Yunlong is not too sad, the Zhang family has always been the opponent of the Cui family, this time it seems that such a result is acceptable, or you can take the opportunity when you go back...... Thinking of this, the corners of Cui Yunlong's mouth twitched imperceptibly.

"General, let's withdraw" Suddenly, a wounded commander knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, he was really frightened, and there were only more than 200 people left in his thousand-man team in this fire, and he was about to become the commander of the light pole.

"Withdraw? You want to withdraw," General Zhang asked, looking at him coldly.

The commander felt bad, and hurriedly said: "General, we have wasted two days, if the enemy's reinforcements are really defeated, then we should also get the news here, and we have more than 3,000 people left, and the task is ............"

Burst!

Before the commander could finish his words, he saw a flash of cold light in front of him, and then he flew high, and when his eyes flickered, he saw a headless corpse kneeling on the ground, and he thought: that man's clothes really look like himself......

Chopped off the head of the commander with a knife, General Zhang stood up suddenly, pointed a bloody knife at the officers and asked frantically: "You, who else do you want to withdraw?" Yes? ”

Some of them immediately knelt on the ground and did not make a sound, while all those who stood were urging their families.

"General!" Cui Yunlong said hoarsely and with difficulty.

"What the commander said just now is right, there is no point in fighting any longer, we should retreat"

"Do you also think that you should retire" General Zhang looked at Cui Yunlong with red eyes and asked coldly.

Cui Yunlong was not frightened, but looked at him firmly and said word by word: "That's right! We failed! ”

"No!" General Zhang shouted a little frantically.

"We didn't fail, no! You haven't seen it yet, have you? There is a small army in front of us, as long as we break through them, they don't even have a wall, just a charge, we still have a chance, and those soldiers who retreat are not worth mentioning at all. ”

Cui Yunlong saw that General Zhang was stimulated by the tragic losses and became so irrational, and slowly shook his head: "General, with all due respect, just such a small army blocked us for two days, and killed more than 4,000 of us, you really lost your judgment, and now you are still underestimating them." Even if you succeed, go out and see how good our soldiers can be compared to the rout? I don't want our Cui family to die again, we're going to retreat now."

Saying that, he turned around and left with his own people, and when he arrived at the door of the tent, Cui Yunlong stopped and said without looking back: "Oh! By the way, I will take all the wounded soldiers away, and your Zhang family can rest assured."

General Zhang watched Cui Yunlong leave with eyes that could eat people, and roared unwillingly, and directly threw the knife in his hand to the ground, leaving only one knife handle.

After coming over for a while, seeing that General Zhang's mood had stabilized a little, Zhang Tian on the side cautiously stepped forward and whispered, "Second uncle, why don't we withdraw too."

At this moment, General Zhang suddenly seemed to be dozens of years old, sat on the chair, closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Withdraw? Can the Cui family withdraw, can we withdraw? Originally, this plan was jointly presented to the city lord by me and my family, and I am the leading commander, how can I explain to the city lord and the family when I go back! ”

After speaking, General Zhang suddenly looked at Zhang Tian with a sad face and said: "Tian'er, it was the second uncle who hurt you, I wanted to let you get some military merits, but I didn't expect to make you a scapegoat with the second uncle, I hurt you"

Zhang Tian knelt on the ground and said: "Second uncle, don't say that, I know you are for my good, but you still listen to me, let's go, even if you go back to the city lord to punish you, there is our family to intercede, for the sake of the family's previous glory, the city lord will not blame you too much, who would have thought that there would be an enemy army here!" ”

General Zhang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, I can't go back, I can't touch the glory of the family, and you think too simply, even if the city lord bypasses me, those hostile families will fall into the ground, I will either die here or show some merit in this way, the city lord can help our family tide over the difficulties for the sake of face!" Tian'er, let's go, go back with Cui Yunlong, you are still a young city lord and will not be embarrassed by you, and you will be able to earn back the glory of the family when you grow up in a while! ”

Who knew that Li Tianlong, who had always advocated retreat, actually hugged General Zhang's thigh and cried: "Second uncle, I won't leave, I will be with you even if I die!" "Zhang Tian, as the emerging generation of the Zhang family, has been given high hopes since he was a child, and most of the elders, including his father, are very strict with him, only this second uncle, who seems to be usually very strict, comes to coax him every time he hides in the corner and is wronged, all Zhang Tian's feelings for him since he was a child can even be said to have surpassed his father.

General Zhang touched Zhang Tian's head with relief, and said with relief: "You kid didn't hurt you in vain Second Uncle in vain, get up, don't cry, since you don't leave, Second Uncle will take you to fight."

Zhang Tian listened to General Zhang's words, and immediately raised his head and said in surprise: "Second uncle, do you still have a way?" ”

Well......

General Zhang nodded

"There's another way, you saw the two new weapons of the defenders during this siege, right?"

Zhang Tian agreed, of course he knew that what the second uncle was talking about must be the crossbow arrows that could fire in bursts and the liquid that would stick to the stone and continue to burn if it brought them a devastating blow.

"Both of these things are very lethal, if we can have the army of the Stormwind City-State, we will definitely be able to strengthen the tiger in the future campaign, if we can bring these two things back, and even capture a few craftsmen, the lord of the city will not only not blame us, maybe even reward us"

After hearing General Zhang's words, Zhang Tian immediately showed joy and hurriedly said, "Then let's go now?" Doesn't Cui Yunlong know? ”

General Zhang sneered: "He must know, it's just that he doesn't have no way out like us, so he is not willing to fight, without further ado, you gather all the soldiers now, we continue to attack, I estimate that the enemy has retreated now, we have to hurry up to catch up." ”

Zhang Tian immediately nodded and wiped away his tears and went to gather the last soldiers of the Zhang family.

"Young master, you see that the enemy has been divided into two parts, one has been evacuated back to the forest, and the other part has not moved," said Li Tianlong, pointing to the enemy's barracks with a mask on the bare earthen wall of Qingfeng Town.

Liu Lei lay on the wall and watched for a long time, without Li Tianlong's strength, he could only see two blurry black shadows.

"Young Master, everyone has begun to evacuate," Liu Bushan said in a hurry.

"Hmm" Liu Lei glanced back, everyone on the inside of the wall, including the people and the militia, was retreating to the other side of the valley in three turns, and Qingfeng Town could only defend it in a dead end, killing and wounding so many enemies, even if it was investigated afterwards, it was only a failure.

"Young master, let's go too!" Liu Bushan said.

"No, wait a little longer, the soldier left behind is likely to attack again, our men are walking too slowly, we have to buy them some time."

I don't know if Liu Lei's mouth has been opened, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of soldiers rushing directly towards the wall from the enemy's camp on the opposite side.
