Chapter 65: Retreat

At the beginning of the bloody battle, it was like a meat grinder, harvesting life tragically and ruthlessly, whether it was the Nancang soldiers or the blood wolf barbarians, they were all ruthlessly harvested, and for a while, the blood flowed like a river, and the dead bodies were everywhere.

However, no one is willing to give up, whether it is the besieging side or the defending side, they are all doing their best, fighting to the death!

At the head of the city, seeing the blood wolf barbarians who were climbing up crazily, Xue Xiao is leading the troops to run back and forth non-stop, as a support, inspiring the morale of all the Beixuan soldiers, and struggling to kill the barbarian army, which was shouted in the ears of every Nancang soldier.

"Soldiers, the barbarians attack the city, they care about a bravery, as long as we rub their sharpness, the barbarians will be defeated. ”

"Overseer the team, form a shield wall, hit the pole, pour fire oil, roll wood, and resist the enemy!"

With Xue Xiao's orders one by one, those slightly flustered Nancang soldiers all calmed down again, and they defended intensively again in strict accordance with Xue Xiao's instructions.

I saw that on the city wall, a team of overseers with blood-red cloth wrapped around their arms raised the fine iron shield in their hands and formed an iron shield wall above everyone's heads, temporarily resisting the rain of arrows and stones that were shooting from the sky.

For a while, the sound of "clanging" of gold and iron handover resounded above everyone's heads, making everyone's hearts chill slightly.

But no one was timid, and I saw that all the Nancang soldiers were trying their best to defend themselves, and used the ramming rod wrapped in iron sheets to knock down the ladders on the city wall.

Or the boiling oil was poured down, and in an extremely tragic howl, the blood wolf soldiers who climbed up towards the city and were not afraid to attack the city were directly turned into a ball of fire, tumbling and falling down, and after a while, it was silent, and it was directly turned into a mass of charcoal.

Under the full command of Xue Xiao, the defenders of the city, who gradually fell into the downwind, once again suppressed this group of blood wolf barbarians besieging the city and temporarily stabilized.

And several centurions of the Blood Wolf Clan under the city also saw Xue Xiao's command, and immediately, there was a bloodthirsty evil aura on their faces, and they were extremely angry, and they immediately mobilized a group of blood wolf soldiers with superb archery skills to come over and want to shoot them.

"Fuck, shoot him to Lao Tzu, quick, shoot him!"

In an instant, a large rain of arrows was shooting towards Xue Xiao frantically, and the sharp arrows that flashed with cold light almost touched his cheeks, "Whoosh," and the nails shot into the city wall behind him, and even several guards beside him were nailed to death on the city wall by this powerful arrow.

Even the powerful arrows nailed to the city walls, the tail of the arrow still buzzed and trembled, making a seeping buzzing sound.

This scene also frightened the little fat man Xue Xiao into a cold sweat, and there was a slight pale flash on his somewhat fat face, but he was still calm, and after secretly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he still stuck to the front line, commanding the Nancang soldiers to defend to the death, not wanting to be demoralized because of his own reasons.

But in such a critical scene, although Xue Xiao was not afraid, he forced himself to calm down, but the few remaining guards behind him were frightened, their faces were pale, and they couldn't care about anything else, so they hurriedly stopped in front of Xue Xiao and shouted.

"Your Highness, it's too dangerous here, you better temporarily withdraw and command us in the rear, don't worry, we will definitely fight to the death and never retreat, and we will never give up if we don't repel this group of barbarians, you go down first, the last general begs you, with you, our Nancang will not be considered dead." ”

"Fart, get out of the way of Lao Tzu, I am the prince of Nancang, and at this time, when my Nancang country is in trouble, how can I retreat?"

"And don't say it's me, even if it's any hot-blooded man from Nancang, at this critical moment of survival, he should pick up arms and fight to the end, so how can I retreat, what face can I retreat, give me a dodge, dodge!"

Seeing that several guards around him were trying their best to stop themselves and prevent themselves from commanding on the front line, Xue Xiao was also furious, and roared, although there was still a trace of youthful fear and immaturity in that voice, but it was undoubted, firm and abnormal.

After saying that, he desperately forcibly broke through the obstruction of the surrounding guards, rushed to the arrow stack against the rain of arrows, and continued to command the soldiers of the North and South Cang to do their best to resist the attack of the barbarian soldiers.

"Hey!"

Seeing this, several guards sighed helplessly, and after glancing at each other, they knew that they couldn't stop His Royal Highness the Prince, who had fallen into a state of madness at this time, so they stepped forward together, desperately protecting Xue Xiao's surroundings, using their bodies as shields to resist the cold arrows that came from all directions, and tried their best to protect him.

......

The bloody battle continued, I don't know how long it lasted, and I don't know how many waves of barbarian attacks were repulsed, many Nancang soldiers only felt that the world was spinning, their eyes were bloodshot, and their ears were full of buzzing shouts and killings, like chaos.

And the city wall is also full of dead corpses, there are Nancang soldiers, there are also blood wolf barbarians who attack the city, almost all over the city wall, there is not even a place to stay, and in the end everyone is stepping on the corpse of the dead robe to fight, which shows the tragedy of the battle.

But even so, the Blood Wolf Clan barbarian army still continued to frantically rush towards Qingcang City, attacking frantically, it seems that the blood force has made up its mind, even if it is consumed, it will be consumed to Nancang to death, after all, they have more soldiers and stronger combat power, under this kind of complete frontal hard attrition, there is no doubt that the Blood Wolf Clan barbarian army is going to occupy a great advantage.

Sure enough, under the bloody hard attrition at any cost, Nancang couldn't support it in the first place, and soldiers from all over the city gates kept coming to ask for help.

"It's not good, Your Highness, Beicheng is in a hurry, it's about to be overwhelmed, and the Beicheng guard will let you hurry over to support. ”

"What?"

"Your Highness, it's not good, Dongcheng is also in a hurry, it has been torn open a gap by the barbarian army, there is a small group of barbarian troops who have killed the city wall, the Dongcheng guard will let you hurry over, otherwise, Dongcheng will be lost. ”

"Fuck, what is the defender of the East City going to eat, the other city gates can be guarded, he can't hold it, I'm really angry with Lao Tzu, after the battle, Lao Tzu has to kill him, damn it. ”

Hearing this, Xue Xiao was also furious when he heard that there were two city gates in an emergency for a while, but he also knew that now was not the time to be angry, and anger would not solve any problems, and the top priority was to find a way, so he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and asked urgently to one of his personal soldiers.

"Zhang Chao, how many soldiers are left in charge of our support?"

Hearing this, the pro-soldier known as Zhang Chao also smiled at Xue with a crying voice.

"Your Highness Qiqi, there are not many people left, the barbarian army is attacking too fiercely, the soldiers are tired of running for their lives, supporting everywhere, more than half of the dead and wounded, there are less than eight hundred. ”

"What?"

Hearing this number, Xue Xiao also felt a chill in his heart, the original team of 2,000 people, there are less than 800 people left in the fight, more than half of the dead and wounded, the originally living Pao Ze brothers, more than half of them disappeared at once, the fierceness of the battle, it goes without saying, everyone's resentment towards the barbarian army can't help but be even stronger, eager to drink its blood and eat its flesh.

But now, Xue Xiao didn't care about these anymore, quickly suppressed the heaviness in his heart, and hurriedly said after a little thought.

"Zhang Chao, I will lead 500 people to support Dongcheng, you take the remaining 300 people, and another 100 people will be transferred from Nancheng and Beicheng, and there will be enough 500 people to support Beicheng, go quickly. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Saying that, Zhang Chao also suddenly clenched his fists to receive the order, and then, he turned around and left, ready to do what Xue Xiao said, but just turned around, as if he suddenly remembered something, Zhang Chao turned around again, looked at Xue Xiao and suddenly asked.

"Your Highness, can we still hold it?"

"What?"

"Can we still hold on? Can we really hold on?"

Zhang Chao looked at Xue Xiao in front of him, and for the first time, he really looked at him directly, and asked with a hint of hope in his tired eyes.

Hearing Zhang Chao's question, for a while, all the Nancang soldiers present temporarily stopped the movements in their hands, and looked at him with the same sincerity, waiting for his answer.

Although everyone's eyes were full of fatigue in the end, but at this time, a trace of hope reappeared, looking at Xue Xiao, it was like looking at the god of war in his mind, waiting for him to say yes, then, everything he is doing now is worth it, and he is afraid of death.

So, looking at the eyes of many soldiers looking at themselves full of hope, although that hope is very small, and it is also hidden in the depths of the eyes, hidden very deeply, but it is like a pillar of their faith, once they say no, I am afraid that the belief of each soldier will collapse instantly, like walking corpses, so Xue Xiao also smiled suddenly, as always, he smiled honestly, regained the true character of the little fat man, and looked at everyone with the same sincerity.

"Hehe, yes, yes, soldiers, believe me, we will definitely be able to hold it, Qingcang City will not be broken, Nancang will not die, because we still have reinforcements. ”

"Reinforcements?"

"Yes, reinforcements!"

Xue Xiao said categorically.

"Yes, we still have reinforcements. ”

Hearing Xue Xiao's categorical answer, many Nancang soldiers suddenly all looked at each other and smiled, as if they had regained the motivation to persevere, and became high morale again, although they didn't ask what reinforcements were and when the reinforcements would arrive, but they believed in their Royal Highness the Crown Prince, more than they believed in themselves, and believed that he would not lie to himself, definitely!

"Haha, Your Highness take care, the last general will go to support Beicheng and take his leave. ”

Getting Xue Xiao's answer, Zhang Chao also laughed, hugged his fists suddenly, left with a firm fighting spirit, and led people to support Beicheng, because he knew that what he was doing now was no longer in vain, because they still had reinforcements.

Although I don't know how many reinforcements there are and when the reinforcements will arrive, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that there is, then there must be, definitely!

And that's enough!

As a result, many Nancang soldiers were once again full of confidence to defend to the death, resisting the barbarians, and their fighting spirit was extremely high, because they still had reinforcements.

Seeing that many soldiers seemed to have found the motivation to persist again for a while, they became confident and fanatical again, shooting the blood wolf barbarians who were attacking wildly, Xue Xiao also smiled bitterly, blinked his small eyes that narrowed into a slit, as if his eyes were in the wind and sand, and rubbed them fiercely, and then looked up in the direction of Bei Xuan, and muttered silently.

"Yundui, if you are really a character, don't let me down, count me Xue Xiao begging you, okay?"

After finishing his words, he suddenly turned around and led the army to support the already precarious East City Gate, desperately defending and trying to ensure that the southern cangs would not be destroyed.

What Xue Xiao didn't know was that at the moment when his low murmur fell, a fast horse rushed into the handsome tent of the Blood Wolf Clan's barbarian army in the distance.

"General Qiyu, the big thing is not good, our army's Chaowu camp was attacked, and all the grain and grass were looted by the group of Northern Xuan Mole ants, and now our army's logistics are urgent, there is not much grain and grass left, and the soldiers are afraid of running out of food. ”

"And weapons, armor, bows, crossbows, shields, etc. are also damaged a lot and cannot be replaced, among which the arrows are even more exhausted, and it is no longer possible to suppress the defenders of Qingcang City with arrows, I am afraid that in the next period of time, we will no longer be able to fight, so what should our army do next, please make a decision quickly!"

"What, damn it, these hateful Beixuan ants, hateful little handsome guys, I hate it, it's a failure, it's a failure, I hate it, ah!"

Hearing this, in the big tent of the barbarian army of the Blood Wolf Clan, there was a monstrous roar of the barbarian commander, and the anger was extremely strong, which made all the barbarian troops in the tent of the handsome man feel chills in their hearts.

"Woo~~~"

And a moment later, in the barbarian camp, there was a sudden clarion call for retreat, and in an instant, the blood wolf barbarian army besieging the city retreated like a tide and temporarily stopped the army.

As the barbarian army retreated, there was also a heaven-shattering cheer in Qingcang City! All the soldiers defending the city wept with joy and celebrated the temporary victory!

Listening to the cheers and laughter of many Nancang soldiers crying with joy, the little fat man Xue Xiao also rubbed his squinting little eyes fiercely again, looked in the direction of Beixuan again, and then clenched his fist violently and muttered silently again.

"Yundui, thank you, this time, even if I Xue Xiao owes you, I remember you a favor, but don't be too complacent, I will pay you back sooner or later, because I Xue Xiao has never been in the habit of owing favors to others, so you wait!"

The bloody battle of Qingcang is temporarily suspended.
