readx(); The killing on Xiling City continued, and the sky gradually darkened, and the two armies lit torches in tacit understanding.

The torches were in the camp of the two armies, and the sky of the entire Xiling City turned a slightly dark fiery red.

Bu Qi looked at the sky, his face was slightly red from the torch illumination, and then his eyes looked at the high and steep black peaks on both sides of Xiling City.

Although Xiling City is not big, it is indeed a good military barrier, and it can be said to be the gateway to Gangneung City. Then leap over Gangneung Cheng is the vast plain of the state of Wu, where the terrain is flat and the land is fertile.

All the soldiers were stubbornly resisting the siege of the Han army below, but Buqi's face was very calm, and finally the torches swaying in the wind shone on his face, flickering brightly and darkly.

At this moment, a soldier hurried towards Buqi.

"General, Governor Lu Xun just sent an urgent order."

Bu Qiu nodded slightly, as if he had expected something.

"You come with me." Bu Qi gave an order to the soldiers next to him, and then walked straight to the city tower with the lieutenant general.

Below the castle tower was a hut, and at this moment there were soldiers with torches standing guard outside, and Buqi stepped in, followed by the soldiers who reported the news.

The hut was dark and cramped, a makeshift operations command room, with rows of flickering oil lamps on the walls on either side. In front of the door is a place where the desk is resting, and on the wall behind is a map of the city defense of Xiling City with dense lines.

Bu Qi picked up an oil lamp and came to the desk, then put the lamp on the desk, and looked at the soldier who was silent in front of the desk.

"General Qiyu, due to the urgency of the situation, the Governor did not send any letters, only verbal orders.

"The Governor of the Great Metropolitan ordered the general to defend Xiling City, and he and His Royal Highness King Lu will be able to go to Xiling City tomorrow night."

Bu Qi was still silent, and finally asked, "Did His Royal Highness King Lu say anything?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Lu said that this time the Metropolitan Governor is the right envoy, and everything is up to the Metropolitan Governor." The soldier replied.

"Hmm" Bu Qi looked at the soldier in front of him, nodded slightly, and seemed to be making a decision.

Immediately after, Bu Qi squinted his eyes, as if he had made some decision, and put pen to paper in a hurry.

After writing, Bu Qi picked up the silk paper that had already written dense handwriting, and stared at it.

After a moment's pause, Bu Qi carefully folded the paper and got up to walk to the soldiers below.

"Poof!"

I don't know when, Bu Qi's hand has already been replaced by a bright knife, and it has already submerged into the soldier's belly at this moment.

The "general" soldier was uneasy, and more incredulous, as if everything was like a dream.

"You didn't do anything wrong, the fault was the wrong message," Bu Qi muttered to himself, as if to tell the soldier in front of him again.

It's just that the current soldier has already fallen limply into the embrace of the earth, and only a puddle of blood and money flowed out of his body and seeped into the ground in the hut.

"Someone!" Bu Qi didn't look at the dead soldier again, just let out a deep sigh, and then the lieutenant ran in.

Looking at the deputy general who was coming, Bu Qi took out the letter from his hand and said with a solemn expression: "Be sure to hand it over to His Royal Highness King Lu with your own hands!" Otherwise"

Bu Qi didn't continue, but the deputy general seemed to have seen through Bu Qi's meaning. He said in a deep voice: "My subordinates understand, and I swear to live and die with this letter!" ”

The lieutenant general has the grace of knowing Bu Qi, and the importance of this letter can also be seen from Bu Qi's serious expression at this time.

"Prepare the horses! Let's go. Bu Qi patted the lieutenant general's shoulder and said his final goodbye.

"General, take care!" After speaking, the adjutant general strode out of the hut.

"I hope His Royal Highness King Lu can seize this opportunity!" Bu Qi looked at the running lieutenant general, and then fell silent, muttering to himself in his heart.

Then he squinted his eyes, and Bu Qi shouted, "Someone! ”

As soon as the words were finished, a soldier ran in.

"Clean up the house, and by the way, go and inform the generals to come to the meeting."

As soon as Bu Qi's words fell, the soldier dragged the corpse of the soldier at his feet, and by the way, he cleaned up the blood stains below and walked out.

Soon after the soldiers left, generals in armor walked in one after another. The original dark and narrow hut became even smaller and darker as the people who came in one after another blocked the oil lamps on both sides.

It wasn't until eight generals in armor came one after another that Bu Qi slowly got up, and his eyes swept over everyone one by one.

None of them spoke, just bowed their heads in silence, as if waiting for something.

It wasn't until Bu Qi's eyes looked at everyone standing in the room that he said in a deep voice: "Just now, Governor Lu Xun issued an order ordering us to abandon Xiling City and retreat to Jiangling. ”

"What?"

"How is this possible?"

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other, and then there was a slightly noisy discussion.

Everyone knows the importance of Xiling City to the Wu State, if Xiling City is abandoned, then although there is still Jiangling City, but compared to the Wu State without a barrier, the situation is still precarious.

At that time, Wu Guoguo was even more passive, coupled with Cao Wei in the north, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"General? Could it be that the Governor's order was mistransmitted? Someone couldn't help but ask.

"Presumptuous!" Bu Qi glared at the other party fiercely, "Although I don't know why the Grand Governor has such an order, we are soldiers, and it is our duty for soldiers to obey orders!" ”

After Bu Qi finished speaking, he ignored the stunned people, and then said: "Okay, although the Han army is still attacking the city now, I believe that they will not be able to hold out too much, and when they withdraw their troops, we will prepare to evacuate." ”

"Generals," another general came up with an argument.

"Not so much, but, do what I command!" Bu Qi interrupted the crowd and walked out of the hut.

Looking at the steps that walked out, only the generals looked at each other, and finally sighed, and walked out of the hut one after another to continue to participate in the battle on the castle tower.

At this time, in the camp of the Han army, Liu Chan and the others were still standing in front of the camp, looking at the soldiers who were attacking one after another.

Liu Chan didn't expect Xiling City to be so difficult to attack, at this time he led an army of more than 30,000 people, and more than 20,000 people had already been replaced to join the battle.

According to Liu Chan's intelligence, he knew that the defenders of Xiling City were only more than 10,000 people, and the rest of the troops were not moved in Jiangling City to prevent Cao Wei's sneak attack in the north.

I don't know when, a misty crescent moon hung in the night sky with orange and red.

"Your Majesty, let's withdraw first." Chen Zhi didn't know when he was already standing in front of Liu Chan.

Liu Chan didn't know much about the siege, but he also knew that this battle had been going on for a whole day, but Xiling City still hadn't been broken.

Liu Chan didn't seem to hear Chen Dao's words, and still looked at Xiling City in front of him without changing his face.

"Your Majesty, although we can capture Xiling City with additional troops, but at that time our army's losses will be greater, then there will be Jiangling City next, I'm afraid our army can't rest for a while, and in the end the gains outweigh the losses."

Chen Zhi continued to analyze the situation of the two armies, with some sincere consolation.

And Liu Chan's heart at this time was thinking more about his queen Zhang Yingying. According to his guess, the confrontation between Wu Guo and Wu Guo is inseparable at this moment, but Wu Guo has no explanation for Zhang Yingying's news.

This made Liu Chan suddenly a little vigilant and unnatural, this is something from his heart, at this moment Liu Chan always felt that he seemed to have taken a wrong step.

"Could it be that Yingying is really not in Wu Kingdom?" Liu Chan's mind suddenly had this idea that made him feel incredible.

After all, Zhang Yingying's robbery by Wu Guo was a clue that Liu Chan finally discovered, but at this moment, he had different opinions to refute himself, which made his brain a little confused.

Looking at the roaring soldiers and the slightly chaotic scene on the battlefield, Liu Chan clenched the reins of the horse and closed his eyes deeply.

"Order: Retire!" After Liu Chan finished speaking, he no longer glanced at the battlefield, turned his horse's head, and drove away from the camp tent in front of him.

Liu Chan's voice was very small, but in the hands of the flag commander, it became a loud horn, and at this moment, the passionate horn began to become smooth and long.

The sound of the horn resounded throughout the battlefield, as if the killing forehead and its soldiers seemed to have found their souls at this moment, and slowly faded to the edge of the battlefield rhythmically.

At this moment, a little light slowly emanated from the eyes of the steps on the castle tower, and a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth, but this smile looked a little chilling under the torch.

"The Han army has retreated, so you should go and prepare." After Bu Qi finished speaking, he walked directly to the city tower, and the group of people seemed to understand what Bu Qi meant now, and began to transfer in an orderly manner.

ps: The weather is cold, everyone at the same time, remember to add more clothes to prevent colds.
