Chapter 399: Evacuation

In the Lord's Mansion, Su Kemu frequently toasted Xiao Chen

Although the degree of Ma ** wine is not high, but it can't stand a bowl of whole, Su Kemu saw that his granddaughter and Xiao Chenlang were talented and beautiful, and the two often went in and out of pairs, he was happy, and couldn't help but want to drink a few more glasses.

Bitter little marquis, don't look at Su Kemu's age, as a barbarian who drinks from a small bowl, his large amount of alcohol is intolerable.

There were two empty jars at Xiao Chen's feet, and if you look at Su Kemu again, there are already three.

Medina is also a barbarian, naively believing that men should drink to death, so she has not spoken out to persuade her to drink.

"Chen Gongzi, the old man has something to tell you. The old man was finally willing to put down the wine bowl, first glanced at his granddaughter very meaningfully, and then looked at Xiao Chen with a smile.

Martina Bingxue was smart, she had already thought of what her grandfather would say, and her pretty face quickly crept into a blush.

The little marquis also put down the wine bowl, he drank a little dizzy, and waved his hand: "What does the old lord command, just say it, the younger generation will try his best to be satisfied." ”

The old man said in his heart that there is a door to this matter, and it is definitely good to pour wine first, and just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden noisy sound outside.

He frowned: "Why is it so noisy outside?"

The old butler came over and said, "I don't know, but I've already sent someone out to ask." ”

"Oh no!" a voice similar to an exclamation sounded: "Old lord, we are surrounded by people!"

"What?" Su Kemu's eyes widened, who was so bold as to dare to surround the Lord's Mansion?

Immediately, someone shouted: "Oh no, someone is killing people in the street, the east gate is in chaos, a large force of cavalry rushes over, and the city gate is lost!"

Su Kemu slammed the table: "Impossible, we have just defeated the people of Baishan, who dares to offend the border city Huwei!

In the next second, the overwhelming sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing came, and it came from the direction of the east gate.

The old housekeeper's legs were weak, and he almost sat on the ground: "Master, it doesn't look like a fake, someone may really have entered the border city." ”

Xiao Chen would think of the scene he had seen before, and said in a deep voice: "I understand, it's the caravan in the carriage shop, they must have been sent by the enemy." I thought something was wrong just now, but now that I think about it, it's not right, those horses are war horses at all, not ordinary horses pulling carts!"

Medina stood up: "Who could it be, who would be so bold?"

"If I'm not mistaken, I should still be from Baishan. The little marquis smiled bitterly and said, "I really didn't expect that they would organize a counterattack so quickly." ”

Su Kemu was stunned for a moment: "The east gate is lost, what should I do? The border city is finished, once it is attacked by the Baishan people, the border city will be destroyed." ”

Medina turned her head to look at Xiao Chen, her grandfather was already scared, and now he was the only one who could make up his mind.

"Everyone, retreat in the direction of the West Gate. Without thinking, he said: "The enemy is prepared, and our side is caught off guard, even if we stay to fight in the streets, we will drown in the enemy's high morale." While it's not too late, quickly withdraw the living forces in the city, and then organize a counteroffensive. ”

Although he drank a lot of wine just now, he was still able to keep a clear head, the last time the Baishan people failed to attack the border city, the morale was extremely low, and it was precisely because of this that as long as the city was broken, the depressed mood of those people would be released, and the morale would rise to the highest point.

It's dinner time, and I believe that many people in the city have just filled their stomachs, and it is the moment when people are sleepy and tired, how can they block the impact of the elite soldiers of Baishan.

Therefore, it is the best choice to temporarily avoid the edge, I believe that the people of Baishan are here for the property in the city, and looting is their most important task, and they will not fight desperately with the retreating side.

In this way, the retreating side has a chance to breathe.

Martina gave orders to her grandfather: "Everyone, protect your grandfather and gather five miles outside the West Gate!" Inform several other lords and great merchants, let them also rush out with their families, don't covet the possessions here, saving your life is the most important thing." ”

Everyone acted separately, only a few were accidentally shot down by the people who were ambushed outside, Xiao Chen took the lead, and Ye Zi's martial spirit appeared at the same time, shooting a flying needle to kill the people who put the cold arrows one by one.

Kerim hid behind a car, and he didn't show his head from beginning to end, because he knew that Xiao Chen was powerful, and as long as he showed up, he would definitely die.

In fact, his and Gu Lilen's plan was not a clever plan, but it was very practical, he pretended to be a merchant with weapons and soldiers into the city, and suddenly moved when the soldiers defending the city relaxed their vigilance, and seized the east gate with lightning speed.

Among the four lords, except for Su Kemu's soldiers who could still maintain their composure, the rest were all panicked, and many of them did not listen to Xiao Chen's advice, they felt that they should defend their homeland.

There are also some people who agree with the strategy of retreat, but they can't give up the gold and silver at home.

As a result, just because they were one step slower, they were slashed and killed by the Baishan cavalry who rushed in, and the lords and merchants were not the opponents of these people at all.

Su Kemu's more than 1,000 cavalry did not suffer major losses, the attrition was less than 20%, followed by a lord who went out of the city, the loss of soldiers reached 60%, one in front of the other, but the gap was indeed so big.

The third lord almost escaped with his wife and children, and compared to the fourth lord who died in the city, he was lucky, at least the whole family was still alive.

Although there were people escaping from the West Gate continuously, it was indeed sporadic and all of them were ordinary residents of the city, and none of the several big merchants appeared alive.

It can't be helped, merchants love money, and if you ask them to keep their hard-earned savings in the city, they will definitely not be able to do it.

Xiao Chen glanced back at Su Kemu, who had not yet come back to his senses, and said in his heart It is good that you are dizzy, otherwise you will definitely not easily follow my advice, and the result of staying in the city can only be death.

Medina was shocked: "Brother Chen, there are a lot of people in Baishan!"

"Well, at two thousand or more. He said in a deep voice.

The lord who escaped alone was unconvinced: "We have 4,000 men, how can we be defeated at the hands of 2,000 enemies, this is impossible!"

Xiao Chen looked at him with cold eyes and said, "There is nothing impossible, the war does not depend on the number of people, but on the mutual cooperation of strategy and morale." Just like last time, we can defeat more than 4,000 of the Baishan Clan with 1,000 people, why can't they defeat us 4,000 with 2,000 people. Speaking of which, we were still careless, thinking that Gu Lilen would not dare to fight the border city again, and the sudden loss of the east gate has already explained the problem. ”

At this time, a middle-aged man with a leg injury stumbled over and said shocking news: "It's Kerim, he colluded with the Baishan people to enter the city and seize the east gate under the guise of a caravan, and let the enemy in." ”

"What?" Su Kemu, who was in a dazed state, suddenly woke up: "You said it's Kerim, is it that evil obstacle again?"

"It's true, I've seen it with my own eyes. The middle-aged man said, "He has joined forces with Gu Lilen and occupied the lord's mansion." ”

"Why didn't I kill him in the first place, it was him again, and the border city was really destroyed in his hands...... Ahh
