CHAPTER XLIII

"Why?" the general looked up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The demons attack the Central Plains, it doesn't matter if they attack from other places, Changping is the top priority, as long as the Changping pass is broken, it is a horse Pingchuan pointing directly at the capital. So there must be follow-up troops behind, at this time Changping is wide open, once the follow-up troops arrive, and we have not yet pacified Changping, by that time, it will be over. ”

Zhuge frowned, looking out the window with worry in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the attic was suddenly suppressed, as if the dark clouds above the sky were pressing down on the roof, making people a little unbearable.

At this time, the general only felt a great pressure on his shoulders, and at this time, he not only bore the responsibility for the safety of the Changping army and civilians, but even had to bear the burden of the entire human race.

The main forces of the dynasty did not know where they were at this time, and there was no news from the most powerful Red Yan army.

The internal problems are still unclear, and there has been no news so far. You can't even chase after the wind.

The city lord's words are reasonable, and there is no possibility or desire to refute at all, as an old friend for many years, with his understanding of Zhuge , he knows that he is not eighty percent sure that he will not say so seriously.

He has always been a relatively optimistic person, Taishan collapsed in front of him without changing his color, calmly and calmly.

This is an advantage, but at the same time it is also a disadvantage, optimistic, will not think too seriously about the problem, do not plan for the worst, sometimes fall into passivity.

Like at this time.

The general exhaled heavily, relieved the feeling of depression in his heart, and looked at Zhuge silently.

"But what can be done?"

"Abandon the city. ”

"How can you abandon the city!?" the general stood up at once.

"If we don't abandon the city now, not to mention whether we can hold on to the current situation, that is, our small group of reinforcements has arrived, the demons can't attack for a long time, the demons are not us, the military situation is not limited, once they have no way, the news will reach the rear, and the large troops in the rear will only come faster and more continuously. We retreat, there is nothing to be nostalgic for in the city, leave it to them, if the reinforcements do not come, we insist on defending the city is just a useless sacrifice. ”

"We withdraw from the city, if we can, and the support troops round, the other party will take Changping will inevitably stay here, we have preserved our strength, they draw the ground as a prison, one eliminates the other's strengths, and has more advantages. ”

"In this way, our strength is preserved, and you and our Changping soldiers have time to recover. Second, it allows them to relax their follow-up assistance troops, and delays the form of tension, so that they will not make a wrong step. The other party has done tricks and feet within our dynasty, although I don't know what it is, but their psychology is very relaxed now, so once we make the illusion that the city is taken by the demons, they will definitely slow down the march, even if they don't slow down, they will definitely not speed up. ”

"If our backup comes in time, or if the fighter plane is very good, we can attack Changping again before the other party arrives, at that time, the demons are in the city, and we are outside the city, so they can't report to the rear. There are enough troops and enough to hold Changping. Now in this form, this can only be the solution. ”

The general stood quietly in front of the window, watching the demon flesh and blood outside pile up in mud on the streets of the city, and the formation was no longer bright, and it was slowly dimming.

Thinking quietly, there was silence in the room.

The cheers of the soldiers and civilians outside also slowly stopped, perhaps knowing that there were still many demon sieges outside. Slowly no one spoke, and the center of the city was silent.

At this moment, there was a shouting of killing at the back gate, and the support troops of Bai Yuguo arrived.

The general's eyes lit up and shouted, "As soon as the formation disappears, break through to the rear of the city, and give up defending the city for the time being." ”

The soldiers and civilians were all cheering, and when they heard this, they first froze, and did not understand why they had to abandon the city when the support arrived.

But I've just been so close to death, and I'm a little scared at this time, after all, I've really experienced it, it's not a situation where there is no way back, I'm afraid, and no one wants to die if I can live. Second, the general said that it was temporary.

Everyone stared intently at the light on the street, which slowly dimmed and dimmed until it was gone.

The soldiers rushed forward, and the city's citizens followed behind with the wounded, including Li Yao, and at this time, only the five elders of the two elders remained, and they were also scarred and had heavy faces.

The two took care of the injured Da Niu, who was too seriously injured, even with Bai Qi's elixir, he did not recover at this time.

With the support of the two, Da Niu looked left and right in a panic, "Where is Bai Qi?"

Only then did Li Yao find that the city lord and the general were in the ranks, but there was no Bai Qi.

I thought Bai Qi and the general were together. In view of the strength that Bai Qi had shown before, several people didn't worry too much, although they were all a little puzzled why Bai Qi suddenly burst out with such a powerful strength.

At this time, Bai Qi could not be found, and the very weak bull was dead or alive.

"I, I'm going to find Bai Qi. ”

"Don't worry, he'll be fine, he's so strong. ”

"How can you be sure he's going to be fine? Da Niu turned his head and looked straight at Li Yao, his gaze was more serious than ever.

The stagnation of several people was quickly noticed by the city lord and the general, and when he heard the argument of several people, the general's face suddenly darkened, but he barely sorted out his expression, it didn't look very natural, squeezed out a little smile, and came to the vicinity of a few people with the city lord, but the city lord looked as usual.

"Da Niu, don't worry, seeing that Bai Qi's strength is so strong, we have sent him out to carry out an extremely important mission. ”

"Is the mission dangerous?"

"There is no danger, it's just very important, the general is wounded, and there is no one who can do it, so I have to ask him. ”

Da Niu nodded, probably to see that this city lord was serious, and he did not doubt him, so he followed the team and went to the back of the city.

The general also recovered his mood and followed the group.

You must know that Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, and he is not righteous, and the general naturally leads the troops with the consciousness of the sacrifice of the people around him, although Bai Qi sacrificed to save her, which made him very sad, but he will not, and he cannot be immersed in this emotion.

At this time, the soldiers of the White Feather Kingdom at the back gate had already solved the ranks of the demon clan, and they were about to rush in when they found a large number of soldiers and civilians appearing not far away.

"You, are you Mr. Zhuge Yuan?" General Bai Yuguo was a little surprised and in awe when he saw Zhuge Yuan.

"Do you recognize me?"

"When I was young, I went to the capital and saw the old gentleman from afar. "General Bai Yuguo is very respectful.

"Well, in this way, I don't have to worry about explaining, and I will withdraw from the city first. ”

"Withdraw!" the general did not doubt him.

The demons at the other three city walls watched the formation in the city disappear, and after throwing in a few corpses and finding that they were fine, they began to continue to enter the city.

Hearing the shouts of killing at the back gate, it was only those soldiers and civilians who were breaking through, and a group of stragglers didn't care.

He began to search the city, and found some remnants of those who were seriously injured and not dead, and tortured them to death. When they found some women or children who were hiding at home and did not evacuate to the center of the city in time, they grabbed them, tied them up and abused them.

From time to time, the screams of human pain and the cruel laughter of demons resounded in the city.

There are even demons who have found a few cauldrons. Prepare to cook people alive.

When all demons are smiling and enjoying and having fun.

In a cellar in the north of the city, Bai Qi, who was lying quietly on the ground and not moving, suddenly opened his eyes.

The eyes have no pupils, and the whites of the eyes,

Only a pure, eerie dark red.

Bottomless.
