Chapter 102: Retreat

The entire Hexi fortress was filled with the smoke of war, and the city walls were already in ruins.

The demons kept pounding the walls.

And Xu Wei and Xiao Ding have already retreated to the fortress.

They couldn't remember how many times they had resisted the shock.

Every time the demon spirit wanted to cross the city wall, it was repelled by the two of them.

Not only the border guards, but also the national army suffered heavy losses.

If it had been because it was well-equipped, the national army would have been completely devoured by the demons.

In the command post of the National Army, Donglin was looking down on the entire war sand table.

Now he frowned, and the situation on the battlefield could be said to be quite unfavorable for them.

Chang Wei anxiously rushed in from outside.

"My lord, something is wrong, the demon spirit has launched another big impact, this is the fifth impact they have launched, and our national army has suffered heavy losses now."

"It's almost halfway through, and if it continues, our national army will all be left here."

Listening to Chang Wei's words, Donglin's brows furrowed even more, how could he not know about the current damage.

But now he was thinking that this time he was sending reinforcements to the Hexi Fortress, and if he went back like this, then the boss would be blamed.

He's waiting, waiting for a message.

"Commander, royal emergency."

Hearing the news from the royal family, Donglin frowned and stretched, and hurriedly said.

"Give it to me."

Donglin opened the message and looked at the text on it.

It turned out that this urgent report was sent by Shi Yi.

It reads.

"The imperial court has sent the Praetorian Guard to support, if there is no enemy, you can withdraw first."

With Shi Yi's permission, Donglin also took a reassuring pill.

"Give the order to go down, retreat back, and assemble with the Praetorian Guard."

"What about the Defenses over there?"

"Border guards?"

"If they want to defend it, then stay here and live and die with this Hexi fortress."

It turned out that Donglin wanted the border guards to cut off the pursuers of the demon spirit army for him, so that he would have enough time to retreat.

After Donglin gave the order, the national army also retreated one after another.

"Lao Xiao, I think there is something wrong with this national army."

Xiao Ding also saw the greasy place.

"It seems that this national army wants to withdraw!"

Xiao Ding angrily rushed to the front of a general, and the long knife with silver light stood in front of the other party.

When the other party saw Xiao Ding's obstruction, he was also nervous in his heart, and said hesitantly.

"What are you going to do? Don't hurry up and get out of the way. ”

Xiao Ding said coldly.

"Where are you going? The battlefield is behind you, and do you know that retreating from the battlefield is a capital crime? ”

"Don't come to this set, our national army doesn't obey your border guards, get out of my way."

After that, he wanted to push Xiao Ding away and lead his subordinates to leave as quickly as possible.

Because they were ordered to leave as soon as possible, otherwise there would be no chance of retreating.

"Click..."

Xiao Ding didn't hesitate, his hand rose and fell, and he slashed through it.

Blood splattered, and the other party's head was also cut off in an instant.

Such a move also frightened the national army behind him, and they retreated one after another.

"Again, where are you going?"

Finally, someone couldn't help but coax down and said timidly.

"There's an order from above, let's all retreat."

"Sure enough, it's Donglin."

"Everyone, I will give you another chance, now turn around and go back to fight, I can spare you from death, and I will not remember the sin of your escape."

"If anyone does not listen to the persuasion and insists on leaving, then this is what will happen to you."

Xiao Ding danced the long knife in his hand again, and the bluestone on the city wall was also cut out.

The remnants of the national army on the city wall were also frightened, and now that their generals had been killed, they had no backbone, and there was no choice but to turn around and kill the demon spirit that rushed up.

If you stay and continue to fight, you may be able to survive, but if you insist on leaving, Xiao Ding will definitely kill all the people in the group.

"Lao Xiao, what should I do now, if the national army really leaves, our border guards alone may not be able to hold on."

"If you can't hold it, you have to hold on, hold on until the last moment, I will take someone to stop Donglin now and ask why."

"Okay, you can go, I'll leave it here."

Xiao Ding nodded, and led his personal guards straight to Donglin's command post.

At this time, Donglin had already packed up his things and was ready to leave.

As soon as he came out of the command post, he saw Donglin come out.

Xiao Ding slashed out, and the strong knife qi also attacked in front of Donglin, and the bluestone slab of the previous year was directly cut in half.

Fortunately, Donglin reacted in time and dodged the opponent's attack.

Seeing Xiao Ding who suddenly appeared, Donglin said coldly.

"Xiao Ding, what are you doing here?"

"What am I doing? I also want to ask you what you want to do, where is your national army going? ”

"What does it matter to you where I go? Xiao Ding, you have to figure out the identity between you and me. ”

"I command my national army, and it has nothing to do with your border guards."

"Then do you know that there are tens of thousands of civilians in the fortress now?"

"But they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, they themselves have no time to retreat, this is no wonder to me, my national army has already suffered more than half of the casualties, I have done my best, and now any orders I make have nothing to do with you."

"Then do you know how many of our border guards have been killed and wounded?"

"I repeat, it's none of my business."

Xiao Ding couldn't control so much now, and directly blocked Donglin with a knife.

"No, you have to stay."

"Xiao Ding, you want to know what you're doing, can you stop me?"

"How do you know if you don't try?"

"Random slashing."

A burst of sword flowers attacked towards Donglin.

Chang Wei, who was beside Donglin, planned to stop the other party, but was stopped by Donglin.

Donglin stretched out his palm into the air, slashed the attack, and pinched it fiercely, and the opponent's attack was directly crushed.

Donglin said coldly with an expression on his face.

"It seems that Qingluo is still too indulgent to you."

"It's not your turn to evaluate Marshal Qingluo, at least she fought until the last moment."

Xiao Ding held a knife in both hands and prepared to rush to kill.

The guards beside Xiao Ding nodded to each other, and then rushed to the front of Xiao Ding, taking the lead in attacking and creating an opportunity for Xiao Ding.

"It's just a little starlight, daring to compete with the sun and the moon."

Donglin waved his hand, and a surging source power was vented from his hand.

The soldiers who attacked first also hurriedly dodged, but they didn't dodge.

Directly attacked by such a hard attack to shatter.

"Boom."

Those soldiers directly turned into blood mist, and Xiao Ding's pace of advance did not stop.

Xiao Ding's scene of fighting on the battlefield has already been downplaying life and death.

With every knife he made, he made up his mind.

"Random slashing."

"That's it?"

Donglin took out his magic weapon in the blink of an eye.

A short stick.

A mediocre stick, knocked down.

The stick looks so plain when it falls, but it is mixed with great power.

Just one stick directly broke Donglin's attack.

"Bell."

However, this blow was lucky, and it was blocked by Xiao Ding with a knife.

Xiao Ding stepped back a few meters.

The blood in the chest is churning, and the throat is sweet.

However, Xiao Ding did not let the blood spit out of his mouth.

"Xiao Ding, I have to admit that you have some strength, but your strength is nothing in my eyes."

"Really? Then let me see what kind of strength you have. ”

"Xiao Ding just doesn't know if your luck is still so good in a minute?"

"Kang Long."
