Chapter 371: Retreat

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tumur motioned to the captain of the guard, who had been waiting for him a long time ago, and the two spread out a topographical map of the surroundings of the capital on the table. 【】

"Your Majesty, please see, most of us are located in the center of the grassland, the surrounding terrain is flat, the nearest town is Isuda, which has been attacked by Lin Yu at present, if only our three hundred cultivators, if we want to attack directly head-on, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult. Tumur's finger drew a circle around the majority of the map.

"Oh, what's the difficulty?" said Breboto's gaze turned to the captain of the guard.

The captain of the guard hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, our cultivators are basically at the level of the early stage of the Yellow Order, if we deal with ordinary people, there is no problem with one against eleven against one hundred." But if it is a siege, the other party must have a large city defense equipment, coupled with the tactics of crowds, no matter how powerful a cultivator is, he is only a physical body, and in the end, he will inevitably die of exhaustion, and he will not be able to play the maximum role of a cultivator. ”

"Hmm......" Breboto nodded and muttered, "In this case, we can't fight them head-on, we have to find another way." ”

"Exactly, not to mention that Lin Yu and their group of small gangsters have just captured Dadu, it is the time when the momentum is the most arrogant, and they should not fight with them. Wei Chen thinks that we can wait for a few days, and after the other party relaxes, we can send these three hundred soldiers to sneak attack at night and take the head of Lin Yuxiang. After Lin Yu is destroyed, the other party's dragons will be leaderless, and they will naturally be defeated without a fight. Tumur stroked his beard and spoke.

Kureboto frowned and thought for a while, then replied helplessly: "It seems that this is the only way." After a few days, the other party will naturally relax their vigilance, and then it will indeed be the best time to sneak attack. Only pity the widow's child, and he will have to suffer for a few days in the hands of Lin Yu. ”

Tumur hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, His Royal Highness the Prince has always been brave and resourceful, able to stretch and bend, and will definitely be able to survive these few days." In addition, Lin Yu knew the value of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he would definitely not be embarrassed by him. ”

"Then be it!Chief Guard, three days later, you and Tumur will lead the army of cultivators to attack the capital, kill Lin Yu, and rescue His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Wechen obeys! Wechen will do his best to complete the task!" replied the captain of the guard firmly.

........................

While Khureboto and Tumur were discussing how to retake the capital, there was also a new movement near the Lilac City of the Great Xia Empire.

After Situ Xiaofeng arrived in Lilac City, he suffered several defeats one after another, and finally even the inner city of Lilac City could not be defended, and was captured by the grassland tribes. In desperation, he could only escape from the pass in the back mountain with his soldiers, and ordered the soldiers to camp on the spot, guard the exit of the pass, and never let the soldiers of the grassland tribe rush out of it.

After all, after passing through the mountain road pass of Lilac City, it is a flat grassland, and you can directly attack the vicinity of the imperial capital along the grassland. If you can't even defend this place, then the battle behind the Great Xia Empire will be extremely difficult.

Although Situ Xiaofeng fled in embarrassment, before escaping, he still had an idea and came up with a plan.

He quietly divided his 10,000 soldiers, disguised themselves as ordinary people, hid in the houses in the city, and made an agreement with the soldiers hiding in the city, let them wait until late at night, sneak to the back mountain, open the gate of the pass, and then join his own soldiers and rush into the city to assassinate the general Qiyangrad of the steppe tribe.

"General Situ, why is there no movement in the city at all?" In the middle of the night, Situ Xiaofeng waited with his lieutenant general and soldiers in front of the gate of the pass where there was no movement, and his lieutenant said worriedly, "At this time, there should already be someone in the city to help us open the gate of the pass...... Lilac City has been slaughtered? Then it's over! I've heard that those steppe tribes like to do this kind of unconscionable thing!"

The adjutant general didn't want to shake the morale of the army, but the soldiers hiding in the city were all his familiar comrades-in-arms, and they had been born and died together several times, so he was indeed very worried.

"Uh......" Situ Xiaofeng frowned, after all, this was the first time he led his troops to fight, and he used to just patrol and patrol the palace, but after he came out, he knew that being a general and being the leader of the guards were completely different things.

I thought I could properly get the merits of the war, but as a result, I suffered a few defeats as soon as I came here, and I lost Lilac City, if I withdrew my troops back to the imperial capital like this, it is estimated that Yu Shaoxi would definitely not spare him.

"Wait a little longer! It's not the agreed time yet, maybe they've already started to act?" That being said, Situ Xiaofeng didn't know anything in his heart.

"Why don't we rush in directly! The people of the grassland tribe have just captured the inner city, and now they must be celebrating in a carnival, and the vigilance is not high at this time, let's suddenly attack it, maybe we can get miraculous results!" The deputy general was still worried about his comrades, and some couldn't wait to break into Lilac City to have a look.

"Hmm......" Just when Situ Xiaofeng hesitated, he saw the gate leading to the inner city of Lilac City at the end of the pass slowly opened, and a few people dressed as ordinary people walked out of it, looked around left and right, and ran over after seeing his army.

"What people! Stop!" The adjutant general's vigilance was still very high, and he hurriedly blocked Situ Xiaofeng behind him, and led his troops to rush up, surround those who ran out of Lilac City.

After careful interrogation, it was found that these people were the soldiers who Situ Xiaofeng had left in the city and disguised as ordinary people, but they were not the ones they had agreed to open the door before. The lieutenant general was puzzled and hurriedly brought them to Situ Xiaofeng.

Seeing that his lieutenant general had brought a few people over, Situ Xiaofeng was confused, so he had to ask, "What's the matter?"

"Tell General Situ, these are all soldiers you left in the city before. They have come to report to you that the army of the steppe tribes is hurrying out of Lilac City, and even the garrisons outside the city are beginning to retreat. The adjutant general was also confused, and said what he had interrogated with a confused expression.

"The enemy has all retreated?" Situ Xiaofeng scratched his head, pointed to the first one of the soldiers who ran out of Lilac City, and asked, "You, tell me about the situation inside! What did you do in the city just now, why did the enemy suddenly retreat?"
