Wen Kaiyuan's originally raised brows gradually wrinkled, and the situation changed so quickly that he was caught off guard.

However, even if he was anxious, Wen Kaiyuan was powerless to return to the sky, and he could only silently watch his soldiers being bombarded by artillery fire.

Ge Tiantian, who was beside Wen Kaiyuan, slowly closed his eyes, his expression did not show obvious sadness or joy, he was still thinking, he was still sorting out clues. Because, the change in the battle situation made Bao Dongming's plan revealed, and that hint had already been detected by Ge Santian.

On the battlefield, Ximen Hu stared anxiously at the cannon ports sticking out of the walls of Harbin Ercheng, which not only destroyed several of his siege vehicles, but also injured many soldiers.

Not only the artillery, but also the walls of the city also had countless spear holes, and when the soldiers of the expeditionary force climbed the city walls, countless spears pierced out and assassinated the soldiers who were climbing.

In addition to the artillery and spears on the wall, a large number of soldiers of the city government army of Harbin Ercheng also poured on the city wall, and they used rolling stones, rolling logs, bows and arrows, and bayonets to defend the city wall.

"Quickly order the artillery wagons to knock out their artillery." Ximen Hu panicked and gave the soldiers an order.

Because the hole on the outside of the city wall is small, the artillery of Harbin Ercheng can only shell the expeditionary force besieging the city at a small angle, but cannot hit the artillery car of the expeditionary army, so Ximen Hu wants to use the advantage of his own artillery car to blow up the artillery in the city wall of Harbin Ercheng.

"Yes!"

When the herald heard this, he hurried to give the order.

The artillery vehicle can indeed hit the target, however, because of the small hole opening, coupled with the protection of the wall, several shelling in a row, the city wall is still standing, it seems that it is impossible to destroy the target in a short period of time, but the artillery of the second city of Kazakhstan is still sparing no effort to spew out a terrifying roar.

"General Simon, withdraw your troops! If it continues, the casualties of our soldiers will be even more serious. "The Near East proposed a retreat to the West Gate Tiger.

After hearing this, Ximen Hu gritted his teeth, this was the first time he was reused by Wen Kaiyuan, but he never thought that Harbin Ercheng would be so treacherous and cunning, deliberately pretending to be careless to lead him to attack the city, and then concentrate firepower to attack his own side. Moreover, if Ximen Hu withdraws now, it proves that he has failed, Wen Kaiyuan has many generals, and as a general of the defeated army, he is estimated to never have a bright future, so Ximen Hu resolutely does not retreat.

"Withdrawing troops before the siege of the city has just begun will hit our morale, and we cannot withdraw." Simon Tiger stubbornly replied to the Near East.

Seeing that Ximen Hu did not take his own suggestion, Near East frowned at Ximen Hu, and his heart was full of dissatisfaction.

"Report! Hearing the order from the city lord, General Simon immediately withdrew his troops. After a while, a soldier with Wen Kaiyuan's password found Ximen Hu.

Ximen Hu's heart thumped, his mind cleared up, and he finally recognized the facts, and heard Kaiyuan speak, even if he didn't want to withdraw the army.

Ximen Hu looked at the battlefield and said to the herald very unwillingly:

"Pass my order, retire!"

Then, the expeditionary force Mingjin withdrew its troops, and a battle between a night attack and a defensive counterattack instantly subsided.

In Wen Kaiyuan's military tent, Ximen Hu and the Near East were all called for questioning.

"General Simon, I have told you to test three points first, why don't you listen?" Wen Kaiyuan's expression was slightly angry and asked Ximen Hu.

"The last general will know his mistake, please hear the punishment of the city lord!" Ximen Hu knelt down on one knee and was willing to take responsibility.

"Punishment must be punished. Alas! I have appointed you because I have taken a fancy to your talents, but tonight, you have disappointed me, and your performance is too hasty for quick success, which is a taboo in the military, and I hope you will keep it in mind. Wen Kaiyuan said.

"Yes, the last will be taught." Ximen Hu's expression was sincere.

"Good! Get up and go back! I'll tell you about the punishment. ”

Wen Kaiyuan saw that Ximen Hu had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, so he stopped talking and asked Ximen Hu to get up and go back.

"The last will retire!"

Ximen Hu couldn't guess Wen Kaiyuan's intentions, but he was secretly relieved when he heard that Wen Kaiyuan was not held responsible. 21
