Chapter 422: Sudden Withdrawal

I quickly withdrew my gaze and hid in.

For a moment I was confused.

Does it make sense for me to persuade General Liao to surrender now?

The difference in strength between the two armies was too great, and the breach of Yecheng was only a matter of moments.

Don't say if I can persuade a man who is defending the city with a heart of death to surrender? Even if he is willing to surrender, will the Qi army be willing to accept it?

Just when I was thinking wildly, a soldier covered in blood beside me, when he was struggling to push down a Qi army that was about to climb up the ladder, was dragged by the soldier who fell, and he staggered and stood unsteadily, and was about to fall from the tower.

Without thinking about anything else, I reached out and grabbed his hand, pulling him back from the brink of danger with all my might.

The city tower is very high, if he falls, he is likely to be killed, and even if he doesn't die, the Qi army will not let him live. I can't die without help.

As I pulled the man up, I felt something come like a bolt of lightning speeding towards me.

I pulled the soldier sideways as I saw an arrow speeding past my chest and rubbing my clothes, followed by another one, and as soon as I raised the starry sword in my hand, the arrow fell.

I was secretly amazed that this archer's archery skills were so good that even I was almost shot. How could the Qi army have so many archery masters?

I suddenly remembered that day I was kidnapped by King Yu and fled to Qiyun Temple, and when I passed through that big river, I was blocked by the men in black under the King of Qi.

Could it be those people?

Curious, I poked my head out and glanced down. The black pressure under the city was full of Qi troops, like a swarm of countless ants. One by one, the soldiers seemed not afraid of death, braving the rain of arrows and stones, the soldiers in front fell, and the back did not hesitate to come up, and none of them retreated.

Their momentum is as brave as that of a tiger and a leopard, and their shouts are as loud as thunder. The tower, which had been scorched by the flames of war, seemed to crumble at any moment under their fierce attack.

In the midst of thousands of troops and horses with a roar of rainbow shouts, a strange and abrupt figure suddenly caught my eye.

The man was dressed in silver armor, and he sat quietly on a tall warhorse, and although he was in the midst of thousands of horses, although he did nothing but quietly looked at a place, it was still very noticeable. I would notice him, not only because of the silver mask on his face, but also because of the extraordinary aura in him, as if he would immediately storm with a wave of his hand.

I couldn't see the man's face with the mask, but I could only see a pair of eyes as sharp as a cheetah, as deep as a well. Perhaps it was my delusion, but I felt the man's gaze look at me, and I could immediately feel a cold chill shoot from below like a sharp arrow.

Who is he?

I couldn't help but speculate in my heart.

"Be careful!" One of them exclaimed, and then someone grabbed me by the arm and dragged me to the battlements and hid.

At the same time, a sharp arrow whistled over our heads with a long note.

I was afraid that if someone hadn't pulled me down, the arrow would have come to me.

I was so careless!

Although my martial arts skills are not bad, I have too little experience in actual combat after all, so I really shouldn't be so careless.

Xuan Feilun's face was pale, and his tone was very bad and said, "What's the matter with you?" Didn't you say you could protect yourself? If it hadn't been for me, that arrow would have been on you! I told you not to come, you have to come......"

"I know I was wrong, don't be angry." I interrupted him and couldn't wait to tell him about the big thing I've found, "Flywheel, I just saw a strange guy down there, he's wearing a mask and riding a horse. He felt that he should be that Xiao Yao. ”

"Xiao Yao? Are you sure it's Xiao Yao? Shouldn't he be commanding the battle in the tent? Xuan Feilun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to stand up and look at the city, but halfway up and squatted down again, and said to me, "Even if he is Xiao Yao, what then?" He looked at the soldiers on the upper floor of the city, who were already seriously wounded and still struggling to support themselves, and said, "They won't hold out long, and the city will soon be broken." ”

I looked at the few soldiers upstairs, and my heart was sad.

yes, even if that person is Xiao Yao, so what?

What else can we do now?

To persuade him to quit the army? How could he possibly listen to us?

Jump down and kill him? Don't say we can't get close to him. Even if we can get it, won't we also become executioners? So what's the difference between us and him? What qualifications do we have to persuade the king of Qi to stop the war?

Xuan Feilun's expression was gloomy, and he sighed and said, "Let's go!" If the city is broken, we will go again, and there will inevitably be a fight. ”

I know he's right, after all, two fists can't beat four hands. No matter how good our martial arts are, we can't withstand the attack of thousands of troops. It's okay for us to save a few people, but it's impossible to defend Yecheng.

But when I saw General Liao and the soldiers on the city tower who were already scarred and still struggling to persevere, I really couldn't bear to leave like this.

If we're gone, they're probably all going to die. and the people of Yecheng may also suffer.

I gritted my teeth and said, "We can't leave now, we have to stay and protect them!" ”

I stood up from the battlements and waved the starlight sword in my hand, "Flywheel, let's help them block the cold arrows that are coming at me!" ”

But strangely, not a single arrow came at them, and even the earth-shattering drums of war stopped.

I was wondering when I suddenly heard a rapid sound of gold.

Someone shouted in surprise, "The Qi army has withdrawn." Troops are called! ”

Troops are closed?!!

We couldn't believe it, and when we looked outside the city, we saw that the Qi army had stopped attacking, and all the men and horses retreated in an orderly manner. Even the Qi army, who was about to climb up from the ladder, was at a loss, but he still obeyed the order and retreated.

What's going on? That side has obviously gained the upper hand, and it looks like the city is about to be broken, why did it suddenly withdraw its troops?

It's so weird too!

At this moment, I felt a sharp gaze like an arrow shoot at me, and I looked in the direction where my gaze was.

It was the man in the silver mask. The man was still in the same place, still on his horse, and even his posture didn't seem to change.

He tilted his head slightly and looked at the tower, I don't know what he was looking at? Or are you thinking about something?

What the hell is he thinking? Ye Cheng was obviously already at his fingertips, why did he suddenly order the troops to be withdrawn?
