Chapter 254: Preparing for a Counterattack
Countless limbs were dragged into the wellhead by the Endless Black Hand, and finally turned into white grains of sand.
The army that did not fall into the country in the distance couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from their sideburns when they saw such a strange scene......
Is this really the dynasty that has come to an end?
How many cities have you conquered? You've already encountered this kind of hard stubble?!
Could it be the legendary Qi Practitioner? Or are they fairies and ghosts?!
"Withdraw! Retreat 200 miles! ”
The general in the military tent shouted coldly to the surrounding lieutenant generals!
"Retreat! Two hundred miles!! ”
The huge horn began to sound rhythmically, and the faces of the officers and men of the army changed dramatically after hearing this horn!
"Pullback?"
The garrison troops did not hesitate when they heard the sound of the trumpet, and quickly retreated, and the tents were quickly dismantled and opened to the carriages, and in a panic, the mighty army began to retreat!
Some of the soldiers standing at the rear of the army had just run back to the camp, only to find that the military tents had been dismantled and the army was about to retreat as a whole.
"Pullback is good! Retreat will not have to face that group of people who are not ghosts and ghosts! And the unseen stuff! ”
Some of the soldiers retreated with the army, but most of the vanguard had already died in the final retreat.
The only thing left on the battlefield now is the smoke of gunpowder and the siege engines and trebuchets left on the ground, which proves that a great battle has just taken place here!
And those soldiers who did not fall into the country and died had long been buried in the well by Xie Tu and turned into white grains of sand.
In the city, Lu Yan watched the retreating army begin to retreat in the distance, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Turning his head to look at the overwhelming black palm, Lu Li's heart sank again.
Is this a god?
I'm afraid it's not a demon, right?
'If this kind of thing exists in the world, then all living beings will be threatened by it......
'It seems that we have to secretly find some secret method, how to expel this thing, or seal it away!' ’
Lu Yan looked at Dayou Mountain, not knowing what he was thinking.
What he didn't see was that the master was standing on the city wall at this time, looking at him silently.
He also saw what he was thinking.
However, the master did not mean to go directly to the mountain, but buried this matter in his heart.
He believes that everything has a choice, and even if he is loyal to it, he does not necessarily have to tell him everything.
How to maximize the benefits is what the master thinks.
When the black palms in the sky dispersed, Lu Cheng asked the soldiers to collect the swords that had fallen to the ground into the city.
There are also unscrupulous siege vehicles that have been burned down, and the trebuchets left behind by escaping just now have all been taken into the city by Lu Li.
These are very rare strategic resources.
The panicked people in the city saw that the movement outside was gradually weakening, and some of them were bold enough to go out of the courtyard and look at the city gate.
There was not a drop of blood as far as the eye could see, and even the smell of blood in the air was quickly washed away.
"Win?"
"Win?!"
"We held on! Hold on!! ”
A citizen stood on an empty street, howling and crying at the sky!
With this sound, he dragged out the people who were still immersed in fear.
People poured out and stood in the streets, and hundreds of soldiers stood at the gates to seal off the area.
There were no enemy troops outside the city for a long time, only the burning oil and the soldiers who were constantly collecting swords.
"Really won?"
"Win!"
Lu Yan turned around and looked at the people surrounding the city gate with a smile on his face.
You can see that those people are really happy.
So much so that they ignored General Lu Li's identity, and surrounded Lu Li to ask how the battle was going.
"Master Jun! Did we win? ”
"Master Jun, why can't any enemy soldiers see outside?"
"Master Jun!"
"Master ......"
"Master ......"
The sound of inquiries was endless, but Lu Li didn't have any intention in his heart, but asked the surrounding soldiers to get out of the way, so as not to hurt the people.
"Everyone! Please be quiet! ”
Lu Yan raised his hand to signal, and the surrounding people consciously lowered their voices.
"If you have any questions, you can ask them one by one."
Lu Wei is very kind to the people, and he does not have the attitude of a general.
"General! Did we win? Will the army that does not fall into the country attack again?! ”
A showman in a blue linen coat looked at Lu Li with some expectation, looking forward to some expected words coming out of his mouth.
Seeing that the others were also waiting for his answer excitedly, Lu Yan hurriedly explained: "Everyone, I don't know if the army of the country will come, but we have prevented this attack!" ”
"It's not just about it! We also drove those people back more than 200 miles! It was a beautiful victory! ”
The corners of Lu Li's mouth hooked up a smile, and this victory also made him very happy.
"Then general, what did you use to resist such a fierce attack?"
That Xiucai has the demeanor of a reporter, and he has been asking questions, and he is still asking sharp questions.
Lu Cheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiucai, and said in a joking tone: "I said that if there were immortals, would you believe it?" ”
"General, do you mean that you are a divine soldier from heaven?"
"No, I mean I don't want to tell you this kind of secret, just give you an answer."
“……”
Xiucai finally stopped speaking after being scolded for a few words, and it was the turn of another citizen.
"General, are there any royal reinforcements? The food in the city won't last a few days......"
A rice vendor asked worriedly.
In his opinion, food is still important, and the main thing is to eat.
If the royal family does not send reinforcements, it will fall sooner or later......
“
Lu Li saw that someone was asking this kind of question, and his heart sank.
Has anyone finally noticed the royal inaction?
There is nothing wrong with royal inaction in peacetime.
But now in troubled times, the royal family does not say a word, and even reinforcements have no food and grass, which not only chills the army, but even the people can see that they have been abandoned.
But Lu Yan didn't want to lie, so he could only shake his head and sigh: "The imperial city did not send any reinforcements, and the grain and grass also asked the royal family, but there was no reply..."
"Estimated ......"
"Are We Abandoned......
The rice vendor sat down on the ground, and the death sentence almost came to death for the people of the city.
Without reinforcements and food, how can the hundreds of thousands of people in this city live?
Even if the army of the country does not attack, it will just surround this place, and after a long period of siege, this place will be self-defeating.
"Everyone, don't be discouraged! Since I'm here, I'll do my best to keep you well fed and clothed!
In a few days, I will lead the army to launch a counterattack on the Immortal Position, and when the time comes, I will seize all their cattle, sheep, grain and grass, so that you will not be trapped by hunger! ”
Lu Li's words rekindled the hope of life among the people around him, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.
