Text Chapter 50 Preliminary Temptation, the old general pretends to be deaf and stupid.
Wu Daofeng pointed behind one hand and the front of the other, "Yan Yu, could it be that you deceived me and no one in the forest?"
"It turned out that the Martial City Lord was back!" Yan Yu said as he sat upright and immediately clasped his hands into fists.
"So you still know this seat. "Behind his hands, he stood above the city. It's like a god descending to earth.
"The lord of the country is worried about the city lord of Wu, and he sent this general to visit, since the city lord is safe together, the general will leave first!" After speaking, he directly ordered the withdrawal of the army without hesitation.
Yan Yu knew that the strength of the Martial Blade Wind was strong and unfathomable, and it was difficult to find an opponent under the Imperial Palace, and he was afraid that he had already touched the threshold of a cultivator. Yan Yu, who couldn't figure out the situation, couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he saw Wu Daofeng suddenly return to the city.
"I'm in the forest, do you want to come and go?" Wu Jian Feng jumped directly from the city gate nearly three zhang high with a kick under his feet, and when he reached the city gate, his mount ran out of the gate to catch him and went straight to the front of the battle.
Before he reached the battle, the weapon suddenly appeared in his hand as if he were conjuring. Wu Blade Wind's weapon is a steel fork nearly two meters and five meters long, with one long, two short and three fork tips on the fork head. "Ha" Wu Blade Feng raised the steel fork and shouted.
"Roar, roar, roar" The fighting intent of all the soldiers was instantly ignited when the city lord returned, and it was even better than just now.
"Yan Yu, do you dare to fight me?" the martial arts wind urged the horse forward for a while and came to the center of the field.
"Martial City Lord, let's come like a leader, don't be in a hurry for this moment. Yan Yu thought to himself, I am leading the troops to fight, not here to be a hero with you, and I am not biao.
"Order, the rear team will become the front team, withdraw the flames!" Yan Yu glanced at Wu Daofeng deeply, and gave the order to leave.
"Woo, woo, woo" The horn of retreat sounded in the Lieyan army, and the six phalanxes were orderly and retreated to the west of Manlin City in a neat manner, and some heavy materials were simply not needed, saving the speed of delay.
Wu Daofeng just stood in front of the two armies and looked at Yan Yu who was pressing the formation, and he didn't make any moves. Min Duwei and the others caught up from behind and gathered next to Wu Daofeng. "When will the lord return to the city?"
"Kankan has arrived, the forest has nothing to do, hard work, everyone!" said Wu Jian Feng turned around and hugged his fists at everyone.
"The city lord is serious, Manlin City is our homeland, how hard is it to fight for our homeland!" Min Duwei and others expressed their attitudes one after another.
"Okay, the Flame Army has withdrawn, let's talk in the city!" After speaking, Wu Blade Feng turned the horse head and led everyone back to the city. A group of generals walked through the main street in the city, and the people on both sides heard about it and went out to greet them.
For a while, there was a cheer and shouting in the city and the city!" City Lord, City Lord," everyone in Manlin City vented their suppressed emotions in the past few days in this way, and Wu Blade Wind waved around as he walked.
There were also many sergeants pointing at the thunderstorm that walked at the end, and the thunderstorm was almost crazy in front of the battle, and the people did not know, but the sergeants could see it clearly.
I thought in my heart, if I changed any of them, I wouldn't dare to behave like this in front of the two armies. Although he acted recklessly, he was really relieved! Therefore, the sergeants admired the thunderstorm more than they criticized.
The generals returned to the City Lord's Mansion with Wu Jian Feng, and after entering the hall, they sat down in turn.
"General Min, this time Manlin City can survive the difficulties, all thanks to the old general's high morality and good leadership! Please accept Wu Mou's worship!" After speaking, Wu Daofeng stood up and bowed to Min Duwei on the left.
Min Duwei hurriedly got up to support Wu Jian Feng and turned his body to the side. "Lord of the city, you can't help it!"
"Guarding the border and securing the people, fighting on the battlefield is the foundation of the general. Why do you need to be like this, you can't afford it, you can't afford it!" Min Duwei said with ruddy eyes as he helped Wu Daofeng back to his seat and sat down.
"My lord, this time, the soldiers defending the city fought hard to resist under the serious disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, and none of them slackened. In the past few days of siege, although there was no shortage of food and grass in the city, some people kept jumping out to accuse the garrison soldiers of being useless, causing panic among the people.
In order to appease the people, the garrison soldiers guarded the city on the city wall during the day and went door to door at night to comfort the people. I'm tired and tired!
Zhang Yizheng and other generals even attacked at night, disrupted the enemy's rear, and made indelible contributions to this retreat. ”
"Well, I see!" Wu Blade Feng nodded as he listened.
After listening, Wu Daofeng stood up and clenched his hands into fists. "Your merits have been recorded, and tomorrow's school will reward you for your merits!"
"Thank you, City Lord!" the generals said in unison.
"General Min stays for a while, and the generals go back to rest, and see you on campus tomorrow!"
"The city lord farewell!" the generals clenched their fists at the martial arts and walked out.
After the crowd left, the hall fell silent. Wu Jianfeng pulled Min Duwei to his side and shouted "Serve tea" to the maid. The two maids answered and went down to get tea!
"General Min, what do you think of the Flame Army's silent attack on the city this time?" Wu Daofeng sent the maid to think Min Duwei asked.
"My lord, the veteran has not asked you, but you said in your letter that you let the garrison soldiers defend against foreign enemies alone, and today you are back to the city alone, what is the reason?" Min Duwei saw that there was no one around, and he expressed the doubts in his heart for many days.
"Alas, as soon as I learned of this, I reported the situation of the battle to the lord of the country. After thinking about it, the lord asked Lin Yi to mobilize 50,000 soldiers from Wuyi City to come to support. Who knew that Lin Yi promised very well, and the news of reinforcements two days later had not been sent.
I took him to the lord of the country to theorize, and he actually said that he was worried about the recruitment of the sect and forgot to let the spirit bird send back the news, so Wuyi City has not sent a single soldier yet. ”
"Is there such a thing? Then Lin Yi is not afraid that the lord of the country will hold him accountable?" Min Duwei stared at Wu Daofeng with wide eyes and puzzlement.
After Lin Yi finished speaking in front of the lord of the country, like no one else, the lord of the country did not blame him!"
"Why is that?"
"The lord of the country said that if Wuyi City sends troops to support, the guards in the city will definitely be insufficient, if the Lieyan Army turns around and kills Wuyi, what should it do?
"General Min, do you say that this is what the lord of a country can say? I have less than 20,000 defenders in the forest, and more than 100,000 people in the Burning Flame Army, how can I defend it?
If you can't fight it, the sergeants can run, the generals can surrender, but what about the people?
Wu Jian was so angry that he slapped the table and jumped on the ground, just as the maid came back with tea, and he didn't put it, and he didn't put it aside.
"My lord is angry, is there any bitterness for the lord of the country to do this?" Although Min Duwei was excusing the lord of the country, he was also angry in his heart.
"Hardship, how much hardship can be more important than the lives of the people? Once the city is broken, there will inevitably be heavy casualties. Burning Flame is not my race, will his subordinates show mercy to my people a way to live?" said Wu Daofeng loudly pointing in the direction of Burning Flame Country.
Min Duwei was silent, thinking in his heart why the lord of the country was so decisive. The distribution of several cities in Wolong Kingdom is not very coordinated, the main city is south, and the other cities are surrounded in the center like stars and moons.
Manlin City is in the northernmost part, relatively far away from other cities, and there are not many connections with each other, so it can be said to be self-contained. Moreover, it is located in a remote area, with harsh climatic conditions and poor resources, and has less contact with other cities.
It's really hard to say if Wu Blade Wind just came forward to ask other city lords to come for reinforcements. But the identity of the lord of the country is there, and the weight of the words in the hearts of the city lords is also very heavy. If the lord of the country strongly asked Wuyi City to send troops, Lin Yi would not dare to disobey.
Could it be that the lord of the country is ready to give up Manlin City? Although Wu Jian Feng is strong and has profound skills, after all, it is only one person and one city.
If the Burning Flame Country and the Snowmelt Country join forces to encircle it, it is also an option to abandon the Floodforest City, which is located in a remote location and has a long distance, and concentrate on protecting the main city and the cities around the main city.
Min Duwei had to think about this, after all, although he was the general of Manlin, he was a general who was stationed. He is a soldier of the Wolong Empire, not from Manlin City. It's not that he doesn't know his identity, and he still shows such a strong indignation in front of him, what does Wu Blade Wind want to do?
Seeing that Min Duwei didn't speak, Wu Daofeng didn't say anything more. "The old generals have also worked hard, go back to rest early, and the old general will be the old general to reward the three armies tomorrow!" Wu Daofeng stood up and sent Min Duwei out.
"My lord, then the general will go back first, see you at the school early tomorrow morning!
Wu Daofeng stood at the door of the hall, looking at the back of Min Duwei leaving. "Alas... Let him go!" muttered a whisper.
He turned back to the hall and sat down, picked up the bowl and took a sip. "Tell the kitchen that I want to hire someone to cook a good dish in the evening. ”
"Yes, sir. The two maids went down together to inform. Wu Jianfeng was widowed in his early years and had no heirs, and he was always followed by these two maids. These two maids are together no matter what they do, and even if there are things that can be done alone, they go together.
Wu Daofeng wanted to open his mouth to ask a few times, but he was busy with official business, and he was tolerant of people, so he didn't inquire carefully.
"Someone," Wu Jian Feng shouted at the door!
"My lord" A personal guard walked in and clasped his fists and saluted.
"Go and invite Zhang Yizheng's people and let them drink at the house at night!"
"Yes, I'll go right away!"
Zhang Yizheng took Lu Ji, Lei Jingyu and others back to his residence in Manlin, a courtyard in the southeast corner of Manlin City. The yard is not big, it is about the same as Lu Ji's house, and it is cleaned up neatly. His parents lived in Wolong City, and he came to Manlin City with Min Duwei to garrison it, and after a long time, he bought a yard by himself.
The middle of the courtyard is covered with fine sand on the ground, so that you can practice martial arts at any time. The grounds are surrounded by fruit trees and grape trellises, and in late autumn and early winter, the leaves on the vegetation have fallen off, leaving only the bare trunks standing upright.
