Chapter 22 Change of Guard

"The talk collapsed?"

Mu Fan said: "Yes." ”

"Will reinforcements arrive?"

"I don't know."

Xi Wen smiled: "When you fought against the demon clan, did you encounter such a situation? ”

"Yes."

"Oh, how did it work out then?"

Mu Fan sighed: "Eat meat, the meat of the demon clan." ”

Xi Wen suddenly swallowed, "Okay." ”

Mu Fan pointed out the window, "Do you believe it?" There must be a lot fewer corpses in the streets of the city now. ”

"They're eating human flesh?"

Mu Fan shook his head, "Panic, the food we provide to them is getting less and less, they are not stupid, they will definitely be suspicious." The panic did not spread, so only a small number of people secretly hid some corpses. ”

It was the first time Xi Wen had come into contact with such a cruel reality, and she was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses.

"If reinforcements don't come, won't they be ......"

"Don't bother yourself with this kind of thing." Mu Fan stretched, "I want to be quiet now." ”

Xi Wen said goodbye, and panic began to spread in her heart. She couldn't help but think about all kinds of tragic situations, and finally could only sleep under the quilt.

When she woke up, she was a little confused, and the maid who served her told her that the reinforcements had arrived.

Xi Wen's first reaction was fake news, and when she went out and saw the expressions of other people in the barracks, it seemed to be better than before. She still couldn't believe it, afraid that this was a hoax by Mu Fan.

When I asked him in person and received an affirmative answer, her feelings were still not resolved, and it took more than an hour for this distrust to dissipate.

The heralds arrived, and reinforcements arrived three days later.

In order to celebrate this news, Mu Fan specially ordered someone to cook a good meal. This good is relative, of course, compared to the previous meals.

Mu Fan went to the city wall and looked at the places where the corpses were piled up in the streets, as if there were more corpses in the corpse pile. Zhong Ping rushed to him, following him, remaining silent.

"Let's burn these bodies together tonight."

Zhong Ping said: "Yes." ”

Mu Fan thought for a moment and said, "Did the herald leave?" ”

"Left."

"Don't worry about this, the morale of the soldiers will be raised, and we will be able to withdraw in a few days."

Zhong Ping snorted, looked at the pile of corpses, and said, "General, there are people from Baili Mountain here, should we find them out and put them in the ground?" ”

Mu Fan shook his head and said, "The workload is too big, the difficulty is too high, and it can't be done." Moreover...... Where to die is not to die? ”

"The general has a point."

They were chatting here, when suddenly a heavy horn sound was heard from a distance, something happened in the west of the city, and the zombies outside the city must have begun to attack the city.

Mu Fan was not in a hurry at all, but Zhong Ping was anxious, for fear that something would go wrong.

"Let's go."

Zhong Ping looked at Mu Fan wearing only one piece of soft armor, and said busily: "The general doesn't pay attention to armor?" ”

"No need, go, climb the wall."

The two climbed the city wall, and the murderous aura came to their faces, and the zombies outside the city seemed to move forward aimlessly, they piled up together, and many people huddled together. The people on the city wall looked at this formation and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Any veteran who has defended a city knows that such a siege is tantamount to death.

Fire burned up and down the city walls, and the formations on the walls worked, beams of light and cold followed, and large swaths of zombies died under the devastation of ice and fire.

Mu Fan sat behind the wall, watching it all. There was no suspense that it was another massacre with few casualties, but it was the dead.

…………

Three days later, reinforcements arrived, and morale returned to its peak, not much different from the day the city was captured.

The army arrived from the east of the city, and the grain and grass were delivered together.

The east gate was wide open to welcome 400,000 reinforcements.

Mu Fan sat in the main hall of the county guard's mansion, and under his seat were the ten generals under him. Three days ago, the herald arrived, and the crisis was basically resolved, and today the reinforcements arrived, and the crisis was completely lifted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when reinforcements arrive, we can retreat." Mu Fan's voice echoed in the main hall, "How to retreat, let's discuss." ”

Zhang Feng said: "Complete the change of defense first, by the way, are we all retreating?" ”

Mu Fan said with a smile: "Of course, all retreats, all the left route troops are evacuated, and no one is left." ”

Zong Gang followed with a smile and said: "If we retreat now, I'm afraid our Left Route Army will not be the Left Route Army." ”

"With such a great contribution, we are determined to collectively be promoted and make a fortune, and more importantly, the number of the Left Route Army will be expanded." Zhang Feng said with a smile.

Outside the main gate of the county guard's mansion, scouts galloped in, and when they were about to rush into the main hall, they were stopped and put into the main hall after their identities were verified.

The scout knelt down as usual and said, "The zombies in the west of the city have been evacuated again, for unknown reasons. ”

Zhang Feng clenched his hands into fists, a little pity. The reinforcements arrived, the food and grass were sufficient, and the morale was high, so it was completely possible to set off with the reinforcements and wipe out the zombies. Now that the zombies are gone, they have lost the opportunity to build a greater deed. This is the voice of the generals in the palace, and most of them want to do this.

Mu Fan waved his hand to the scout and said, "You can retreat first." ”

The scouts withdrew from the hall, and the hall fell silent.

Mu Fan said: "Do you still want to do a vote?" ”

Zhang Feng nodded, "That's right, I really want to fuck my vote." ”

The others also responded, and after they expressed their intentions, they looked at Mu Fan, waiting for Mu Fan to make a decision and give an order.

"It sounds good to do a vote, but the zombies have retreated, and the change of defense has just begun, so it is not appropriate to fight." Mu Fan's decision-making was decent, and the transaction between him and Ji San could not be exposed. Attacking the zombies was not good for Ji San, and it also increased the casualties of the Left Route Army.

However, in the eyes of the generals seat, his decision is another explanation: the boss doesn't want to fight, so he honestly changes his guard, and then the class teacher. Meritorious deeds or something, I'll talk about it later.

The zombies retreated, reducing the pressure of changing guards, several people discussed the evacuation, Mu Fan's generals said goodbye, and the hall returned to an empty state again.

Mu Fan didn't leave, and it wouldn't be long before someone came to look for him. When the reinforcements arrived, there were Chu Enguang, Mao Wencai, Shi Hai and others, who would definitely come over to ask for warmth, and by the way, they praised Mu Fan for his bravery and good fighting, and made great contributions.

In fact, he could go back to the bedroom in the yamen, the credit was already his, and he told Shi Hai that he had taken refuge in the emperor. Lin Shuai didn't give him a promotion, the emperor had to give it. Even if he stays in the bedroom, someone will ask him for warmth. However, some people inevitably say that he is too open and does not know how to advance or retreat.

It didn't take long for people to come, first Shi Hai, then Mao Wencai, and finally Chu Enguang.

Shi Hai leaned over and said with a smile: "General Night, you really didn't disappoint me, no, no, you should have given me a big surprise!" ”

Mu Fan stood up to greet him, "It's all up to the brothers to work together. ”

"Haha......" Shi Hai laughed.

Mao Wencai, who was following behind, also laughed, "You, you, you're amazing!" ”

"Awesome!" Chu Enguang's voice came from outside the hall.
