Chapter 228: Retreat

Two hours have passed, and the battle in Black Dragon City has not stopped, and the death of both sides is almost half, but this is the second attack, so the sharpness of the soldiers of the Qingcang Kingdom has decreased, and even the fierceness of their attacks has begun to weaken.

The geographical advantages and disadvantages of the attacking and receiving sides have been fully reflected, after all, the soldiers of Xingzhao Kingdom are standing on the head of the city, and they only need to hold their bows and arrows and throw thunder stones and rolling wood, plus push down the ladder that Qingcang Kingdom finally built on the city wall.

Therefore, his physical strength is much smaller than that consumed by the soldiers of Qingcang Kingdom.

But the battle situation can still only be described as heroic, even Tao Mingxi, who is in the backyard of the Shuaifu, can clearly hear the tragic sound of the fight?

It was already late at night, but Tao Mingxi, who was sitting on the bed, still didn't feel any sleep, and Zhu'er still came to persuade her several times but didn't get any effect.

Tao Mingxi had to admit that she was worried about Xing Tianze, and the various scenes of the two of them in the past appeared very clearly in front of her eyes one by one.

Even she herself didn't know when she was dictatorial and domineering, and everything could be taken into account, plus Xing Tianze, who was full of big men, had already broken into her heart.

Tao Mingxi seems to have fallen in love with this handsome man at some point.

Since she was a child, she has seen the cruelty of war from TV movies and books, Tao Mingxi vaguely knows that Xing Tianze is very skilled, but when the general is facing off, the general will inevitably die in battle.

Tao Mingxi suddenly began to be afraid, if Xing Tianze had an accident in the city, in a world like this, she would become a lonely person.

Zhu'er walked over with a cup of hot tea in her hand, because she was in a special period now, and it was inconvenient for her and Tao Mingxi's daughter to be in the army.

All Xing Tianze deliberately let Zhu'er live in Tao Mingxi's room, of course, she only had a place to lay on the floor.

This can also allow Zhu'er to serve Tao Mingxi at any time.

"Niangniang is about to arrive at Yinshi, who are you going to do, otherwise, you won't close your eyes all night." Zhu'er handed the hot tea to Tao Mingxi and asked her to drink a little to get rid of the chill on her body.

Although the doors and windows of the house had been tightly closed, and there was still a stove in the house, leaving only a vent specially ordered by Tao Mingxi, Zhu'er could still clearly feel a chill surrounding her at all times.

"Zhu'er, are you sleeping on the ground? Do you need someone to send two more quilts? Tao Mingxi took a sip of hot tea and moistened his somewhat itchy throat.

Zhu'er's heart was full of emotion when she heard this, and she had to say that Tao Mingxi was really a good master who was sympathetic to his subordinates.

Considering the reason why the weather was so cold, she deliberately let go of the clean and dry grain grass and wooden planks on the ground, and put three or four layers of cotton bedding on top of it, so that Zhu'er could cover it with two layers of quilts, in order to fear that the cold on the ground would freeze her and catch a cold.

"Thank you for your concern, you are very thoughtful to the slave and maid, and the slave and maid do not feel cold at all when sleeping on such a thick quilt." Pearls said this with a smile.

She really didn't lie, although it was a bunk, it was not only not cold to sleep on, but it was also very soft and much more comfortable than a hardboard bed.

"It's good if it's not cold, you go down and rest first, and I'll call you if you need anything." Tao Mingxi put the teacup aside and hugged the quilt tightly on her body, although she didn't feel any cold on her body, but her heart always felt empty.

When it came to Yinshi, the battle on the head of the city was completely over, and after Nangong Yuan ordered a retreat, the army of Qingcang Kingdom retreated like sea water, and even the corpses on the ground were brought with them.

All that was left was a mess, and all the white snow and ice on the ground were stained red with blood.

Xing Tianze also ordered people to clean the city tower immediately, bury the bodies of the dead soldiers outside the city, and use water to clean the corridors at the head of the city to prevent any epidemics.

After all the generals came to the Shuaifu, none of them wore armor that was not stained with blood, and Wuji sent an order for General Zhang and Liu Teng, who were stationed on the mountain, to withdraw.

The casualties of the army were quickly counted, and nearly half of the more than 200,000 troops who were originally left behind in the city were lost, not counting the wounded soldiers, which was enough to see how cruel the war that lasted for half the night was.

"The last general of the Traceless Prince dared to ask, I guarded the mountain with General Liu Teng and Liu all night, why didn't you let me wait to attack the rear of the enemy army?" General Zhang asked very incomprehensibly.

An hour ago, they saw the remaining remnants of the Qingcang Kingdom retreating, and he originally wanted to disobey the military order and lead the army to rush and kill, but at the critical time, Liu Teng tried his best to intercept him.

"General Zhang, don't be impatient, please listen and explain to you slowly." After his traceless gaze swept over the faces of all the generals in the hall, a heavy look of doubt could be seen on their faces.

"Everyone has already seen the battle last night, and I don't need to tell you the intensity of the battle, if I let you lead the army down the mountain at that time, it can indeed inflict heavy losses on the enemy." Traceless's tone was unusually calm, not at all as if he had just come down from the battlefield, and compared to these murderous generals, the aura on his body seemed calm and abnormal.

"But what if you wipe out all the enemies?" Traceless's eyes were cold and he asked, "Even if we capture Nangong Yuan, the emperor of the Qingcang Kingdom, what should we do in the future?" Could it be that the victorious class teacher is still in court? ”

"Isn't it?" General Zhang asked a quick rhetorical question.

"Of course not, Nangong Yuangui is the emperor of the Qingcang Kingdom and is the Ninety-Five, how can he be willing to become a prisoner of the ranks? If he kills himself in front of our army, then we will face the vengeful army of the entire Qingcang Kingdom, and there will not be a day of peace between the two countries. Without a trace explained without panic: "If the two countries fight each other all the year round, it will make the country exhausted and militaristic, and the people will be miserable, and it will create an opportunity for Fuyang to destroy our two countries." ”

Among the people present, except for Xing Tianze, they were all reckless generals, how could those brave and unscrupulous people think that it would be so complicated?

Now after hearing the explanation without a trace, everyone suddenly had a sudden sense of enlightenment.

"The rank generals were particularly fortunate in the battle last night, let's go back and rest first, and then look for opportunities, after I have discussed with Wuji, Ben Shuai is looking for time to tell you" Xing Tianze waved his hand lightly at them.

"The last will be ordered!" Many of the generals quickly retreated, and the night of fighting was indeed very tiring.

After everyone left, Xing Tianze and Wuxian glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of fatigue on each other's faces.

As the two of them, it can be said that they are fighting wits and courage with Nangong Yuan and Murong Yu.
