In the sound of the horn of retreat, the middle-aged man led Zhou Dongnan all the way back to Xiyuan City, and then, only to hear him shout loudly at the group of soldiers guarding the city, "Military doctor! Call the medic here!! ”

"Zhou, Zhou Jie......"

Hearing the voice, the middle-aged man known as Zhou Jie hurriedly responded after reacting, "The end will be." ”

"No, don't stay in this city for long." At this time, Zhou Dongnan, who had already lost a little too much blood, spoke with all his might, "Wait until all the troops outside are withdrawn, close this east city gate, and then evacuate directly from the west city gate!" ”

"Evacuate?" Zhou Jie, who heard this, was stunned, "But Your Majesty, you ......"

"I'm okay." Zhou Dongnan clenched his teeth and said in a voice that didn't sound like it didn't matter, "As long as you pull out the arrow, you can simply stop the bleeding first." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Dongnan gasped for breath twice, and then spoke again, "The opponent's siege force is too strong, stay in this city, that is waiting for death, evacuate directly from the west city gate, after the east gate of this city is closed, destroy the mechanism of the east city gate, why can you buy a little time at that time." ”

"The last general commands!"

"By the way, there'......"

"Your Majesty, you say, the last general listens."

"Before you leave, put two fires in this city!" As he spoke, a trace of undisguised viciousness flashed in Zhou Dongnan's eyes, "Doesn't he want to snatch this city back?" Then I'll give it back to him! ”

Hearing this, Zhou Jie's pupils shrank significantly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak, and then retreated.

At the same time, outside the city of Nishihara......

"Whew-" With a long exhalation, the longbow in Luo Ji's hand fell to the ground, and his hands that were completely powerless just hung down.

Liu Meng, who arrived later, turned over and dismounted with a panicked face, and then knelt on the ground, "The last general is late to escort, please punish the leader!" ”

Luo Ji didn't make any response to Liu Meng's plea, or whether he heard Liu Meng's words clearly is a question, after a long and highly concentrated battle, as soon as he relaxes now, the whole person seems to be a little trance at this time.

Maintaining this state, I don't know how long it took, Luo Ji looked down at Liu Meng, who was still kneeling on the ground, and then slowly spoke, "Liu Meng, you are injured." ”

"It's just a small injury, thank you for your concern."

"Minor injuries?" glanced at Liu Meng, who had half of his body soaked in blood, and then turned his head to look at the battlefield that had just experienced a fight, and where he saw it, the pieces of corpses made Luo Ji feel shocked, "Go and gather the troops, place the wounded, and then call someone to clean up this battlefield." ”

"Chief, now clear the battlefield?" For a while, Liu Meng, who was a little unresponsive, subconsciously glanced at Xiyuan City, where the city gate was closed.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Luo Ji spoke again, "If he had a little brain, he should gather his troops now and evacuate from the West City Gate." ”

"Then we ......" was only halfway through the words, Liu Meng's voice stopped abruptly, he originally wanted to ask if he wanted to send a force to chase after him, but after thinking about it carefully, how to chase? At this time, the East City Gate is dead, and they can't get in, and if they go around, can they go straight to the opposite side? In addition, the soldiers under his command had just experienced a fierce battle and suffered heavy casualties, so they really had no strength left to pursue the enemy.

Thinking of this, Liu Meng swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and then just as he was about to respond to Luo Ji's order, the smoke that suddenly rose from Xiyuan City in the distance made him pause, and then the whole person changed his face suddenly, "Leader, leader!" Nishihara Castle is on fire! ”

"That guy !!" Luo Ji, who had already realized what was happening, looked ugly for a while, and after regaining a little strength, he hurriedly rode the Liaoyuan Fire all the way to the gate of the East City, and then shouted loudly, "The people in the West Plains City listen!" I'm Luo Ji, hurry up and open the city gate and let us in!! ”

After Luo Ji shouted three times with all his might, a young man poked his head out from the top of the city wall, "Yes, is it the leader?!" ”

"It's me! Open the gates!! ”

That Mingguang armor and the fire under the seat can basically be said to be Luo Ji's signboard, and the young man on the city wall was overjoyed after seeing it, "Boss, wait a minute, I'll go open the door!" ”

However, after a period of time, looking at the city gate in front of him that had not moved for a long time, Luo Ji's heart couldn't help but sink, and then in the next second, inside the city gate, the young man's voice sounded again, with a bit of obvious crying in his tone, "Chief, the mechanism of the east city gate was destroyed by those outsiders, and now the city gate can't be opened!" ”

"That crumb!" The moment the speculation in his heart was confirmed, the expression on Luo Ji's face couldn't help but become more difficult to look at, and then he shouted loudly, "Call the people in the city to work together to extinguish the fire!" Take care to keep the fire under control and remove all flammable materials in the vicinity! And ......"

After completing the order, Luo Ji decisively led a team of men and horses around Xiyuan City to the West City Gate......

At the same time, after a simple hemostatic treatment by the military doctor, the embarrassed Zhou Dongnan also evacuated from the West City Gate early with the infantry troops under his command......

Looking at the long troops, in the woods on the right outside the west gate of Xiyuan City, Liu Kai, who was leading the troops to hide in this woodland at this time, frowned.

He was ambushed here, originally wanting to take advantage of the defeat of the other party to flee, lead three hundred cavalry to suddenly kill, and take down the leader of the foreign invaders, but he didn't expect that the situation was a little different from what he expected, after the first battle, the remaining strength of the other party was still more than 3,000 people.

With 300 cavalry to attack an army with more than ten times his strength, even if it is a surprise attack, it is also looking for death, as a wise general, Liu Kai obviously will not do this kind of thing.

Just as he was pondering what to do next, the adjutant general beside him suddenly let out an exclamation, "General, Xiyuan City is on fire!" ”

"What?!" Hearing this, Liu Xingxing was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction of Xiyuan City, where smoke was indeed billowing in the sky, and the fire could be seen faintly rising.

All of a sudden, a whole cavalry force, each of which looked at the outsider army in the distance, had a full look in his eyes full of resentment, "Actually set fire to the city? Those damn outsiders!! ”

"They must not be spared!"

"Kill them all! Be sure to kill them all!! ”

Compared with the soldiers who were already indignant, Zhang Yanneng was promoted to deputy general, obviously he also had strengths, but at the critical moment, he also took a deep breath, "General, we are ...... now"

"I'll take a hundred cavalry to follow and take a look, and you take the rest of the people back to Xiyuan City to help put out the fire, and at the same time report the situation on our side to the leaders!"
