Chapter 68: Take it

The firelight of Canglan City was unusually bright in the middle of the night, and the king stood on the top of the hill and watched everything.

Several of his subordinates, including Huo Cheng, had been waiting behind him for a long time, and the firelight of Canglan City was their signal.

"Attack." Wang said lightly.

"Yes!"

Huo Cheng's eyes flashed with a hint of war.

……

In the darkness, with a neat pace, Xuelu City launched a general attack on Canglan City in chaos.

……

"General, the thieves in Xuelu City have attacked."

The fire in Canglan City has not been completely extinguished, and the current real combat strength of the Northern Army is only tens of thousands, which is the weakest time for the Northern Army, but Xueluo City just chose to attack at this time.

"Is this time...... Really...... What a robbery while the fire is on. The general clenched his fists, it was clear that everything was the plan of the rebels in Snow Castle.

But how did they set the fire? The general can't think of it even if he wants to break his head.

"General, we ...... Facing up? ”

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, but he still said the word "attack".

With an army of 10,000 people to face the hundreds of thousands of troops in Xuelu City? It was difficult for him to say at all, but with the glory of the Northern Army, he still asked the general.

“…… No, we retreated and went to the rear to join the reinforcements of the imperial court. ”

"Understood."

"Don't worry, we will definitely take Canglan City back."

The general clenched his teeth, he wished that the head of the city lord of Snow City was in his mouth.

He is a general, he has no intention in the face of war, he also wants to just yell like this and then order to defend Canglan City and sacrifice his life for the country, but the current strength gap between the two armies is too big, and the northern army entrenched in Canglan City has no chance of victory at all, he can not care, but he can't let his soldiers give their lives in vain, he must retreat.

"I understand, General." The subordinate also responded with a wry smile.

If the northern army stationed in Canglan City retreats, the rebels in Xueluo City will be able to take Canglan City without a single soldier, and the imperial court will not allow this kind of thing, let alone Ye Futian.

The general lost nearly 200,000 soldiers in the north, but the damage he caused to the rebels in Xuelu City can be said to be minimal, this is a real war, a little mistake will lead to the collapse of the entire battle, and the mistake made by the general is already indescribable, so this is not just a defeat, the general he wants to die to apologize.

The general said that he wanted the soldiers to retreat to join up with the reinforcements of the imperial court, in fact, he was preparing to receive death, and the general's retreat order was entirely for the soldiers who fought with him, and he would bear all the punishment alone, in order to save the lives of these soldiers.

Woo~

This is a clarion call for retreat, and the Northern Army has abandoned the garrison of Canglan City.

The Northern Army lost nearly 200,000 soldiers overnight and lost Canglan City, and the soldier who was used to take Canglan City is currently known to be one soldier, who accidentally slipped and fell down the mountain and was trampled to death by his teammates.

……

It took two days for the northern army retreating from Canglan City to finally converge with the 500,000 troops sent by the imperial court in the southern city of Ming, and the origin of these 500,000 troops was not small, and 50,000 of them were dispatched from the warrior army in the hands of Emperor Ye Futian.

Now the area of Mingnan City has been recaptured by the Northern Army from the hands of the frozen beasts, but the general people have not moved back, and now Mingnan City is considered a temporary stronghold of the Northern Army.

Chen Xiaolai, the first general under Ye Futian, served as the commander of the 500,000-strong army.

On the first day of the convergence of the two armies, Chen Xiao ordered the general to be taken to the prison.

The general did not resist at all, but the soldiers who retreated from Canglan City shouted and cursed a few words when the general was escorted away.

The general just smiled and shouted to them: "It's me who is sorry for you, I don't deserve the title of general." ”

The general's words were actually said to the soldiers who died in the fire in Canglan City, it was his stupid orders that made the soldiers tired, it was he who didn't realize that he had to guard against the rebels in Xuelu City, and it was his misjudgment and ignorance that caused everything.

Why were the rebels in Xuelu City able to sneak into Canglan City without being discovered by the sentinels of Canglan City? He still couldn't figure it out, and the only reason he could think of was that the sentinels were so tired at night from the day's vigilance that they might have trouble concentrating while standing guard.

If that's the case, then he, the commander, has harmed them.

Vertical day.

The execution ground was surrounded by a sea of people, which was the central area of Ming Nancheng.

The general was tied in the center of the execution ground, and Chen Xiao stood in front of the general with his hands.

"Anything else to say?" Chen Xiao asked.

“…… Nope. The general shook his head.

"Say something, later...... There's no chance. Chen Xiao asked again.

“…… If you can...... Please recapture Canglan City. The general lifted his unkempt head slightly.

"Okay." Chen Xiao responded.

"Thank you." The general looked relieved.

"The hour has come! Execute!! ”

Burst.

The liquor spat on the bright white blade, the slightest cold light, which was terrifying.

The butcher raised the machete in the air, paused slightly, and then slashed it down.

In front of hundreds of thousands of people in the northern army of the southern city of Ming, the general left this world.

……

Canglan City.

The extravagant bonfire dinner, the king has also let the soldiers rest a few days, although everything is expected, but the plan is in the people, and it takes a certain amount of luck for the king to take Canglan City so easily.

Huo Cheng can be regarded as more and more impressed by the king, but in these leisurely days, Huo Cheng is not happy.

Although it is a good thing to be able to take Canglan City without a single soldier, Huo Cheng longs for a war and a fight, and his scalp is numb and unrealistic in this kind of leisurely life.

Huo Cheng is a "berserker", and this kind of ordinary life is what he can't stand the most.

He was taking a sip of wine to kill his sorrows, when suddenly, a large wine glass was placed in front of him.

"General Huo, come and have a sip together?" It was the one holding the large wine glass.

"I remember that you are the ...... by Mr. Qiong's side" Huo Cheng remembered this face, this person often accompanied Qiong Wujing's side.

"In the Lower Feather Cliff, it is the exclusive scout of the Qiong City Lord." Feathercliff smiled.

"Hehehe, come and drink."

Huo Cheng took the large wine glass in Yu Ya's hand and poured it.

"Ah, refreshing."

"General Huo is really a bold person." Feather Cliff also poured a sip of wine.

"Hahaha."

……

The two talked happily, there were battlefields, martial arts, and heroism, chatting and chatting, and Yu Ya brought the topic to a "point".

"The city lord deserves to be the city lord, this victory came so easily." Yu Ya said.

"Haha, Mr. Joan is really good." Huo Cheng said.

"But recently, the city lord of Qiong has been hesitating." Yu Ya said in a helpless tone.

"What are you hesitating about?" Huo Cheng asked.

The corners of Yu Ya's mouth are slightly upturned, and the topic is subtly and naturally brought to the aspect of his own expectations, which is the art of language.
