Chapter 210: Night Attack

"Okay, what's the matter, I'll accompany you."

Eyes met, Lu Xiu looked at his own shadow in those stubborn and bright eyes, a little smaller.

Obviously, there are so many words blocked in my heart, and in the end, they only turn into a sigh that is almost inaudible.

That's fine.

At least, at the moment, they are all in front of each other's eyes.

"I know you're tired, I'm a little tired too, after drinking this cup of tea, we'll go to rest."

Lu Xiu took the lead in removing his eyes, his gaze fell on the teacup again, and he picked it up again, with a faint voice, revealing a thick exhaustion.

"Jinye is thousands of miles away from Pingzhou, it is difficult for you to send it so far, how can you live up to this intention?"

There was nothing to say about the tea, and raising eyebrows was already a self-concealment.

Lu Xiu lowered his eyes and smiled, raised his hand, and drank it all.

Liang Wan squinted her eyes slightly, looking quietly, her face expressionless, but she clearly felt that the incomparably heavy mountain that was pressing on her heart finally collapsed at this moment.

Lu Xiu put down the cup, the black in his eyes became thicker and thicker, and he looked at her with a smile: "I want to hug you." ”

"Okay."

As soon as the words fell, in the long silent night, a sharp horn suddenly sounded, like tearing a gorgeous brocade with bare hands, breaking the calm and breaking the beauty.

On her beautiful face, the smile was shattered, and the hand that held her dropped to freezing point.

Liang Wan's heart was pinched fiercely, and she was so hurt that she was excited.

Outside the tent, in the dark, the fire was shining brightly for a while.

The sleeping barracks suddenly fell into a cacophony, with shouts one after another.

A soldier of the Night's Watch burst in in a panic.

"General, the Zhou army is attacking the city!"

As he spoke, another one rushed in.

"General, the north gate is lost, the Zhou army is concentrated, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and I can't resist it."

"Newspaper - Simon is lost."

One after another news came, and Lu Xiu's eyes became darker and darker.

He glanced at the people who had been sitting quietly with their heads bowed from beginning to end, was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Abandon the city and retreat to Tongli Town, ten miles outside the city." ”

Several people hurried out.

Lu Xiu didn't look at her anymore, he just grabbed the sword, and opened the small drawer with his hand, Liang Wan didn't look up, but he could still feel that the person who had always been calm and calm, at that moment, became extremely stiff, and the joints of the sword turned white.

An adjutant general rushed in in a hurry, holding a weapon, panting and urging:

"General, if you don't leave, it's too late-"

The sound of fighting was already clearly audible outside.

Lu Xiu glanced at the people on the ground and dragged them up: "Let's go." ”

Liang Wan raised her head and looked at him in surprise, her eyes red.

Lu Xiu frowned, was silent and didn't say a word, dragging her to go out.

Liang Wan was staggered, woke up, and quickly picked up the bag that fell to the ground.

As soon as the big tent came out, the night wind struck, in all directions, it seemed that there were fighting sounds everywhere, and the camp that was usually orderly was in chaos at this time, and all I saw and heard was people shouting and neighing.

The Zhou army sneak attacked, the city gate was lost, and its momentum was like a broken bamboo, all the way into the city, and the crowd was scattered and caught off guard.

Continue to defend it, like catching a turtle in an urn.

Someone had been waiting outside the tent for a long time, escorting them all the way to the south gate.

In the cool night breeze, Lu Xiu held a sword in one hand and grabbed her wrist in the other, protecting her behind him.

Lu Xiu walked quickly, Liang Wan followed hard, and her long white skirt twisted her hair flying.

The moon is faint and windy, and it is true.

Until the south gate, the Qi army no longer carried hard, fought all the way, and retreated all the way.

Lu Xiu took her and turned over on the horse.

The Qi army was already weak, and when it encountered a sneak attack by the heavy troops of the Zhou army, the soldiers were even more folded by half.

When we arrived at Tongli Town, the sky was already slightly bright.

The remaining soldiers were on standby.

The location of Pingzhou City is special, it is the only way to attack Qi, it is very important, if it is lost, the Zhou army will attack again in the future, it will be a smooth road.

This is also the reason why even if Pingzhou City has been reduced to an empty city, Lu Xiu has always insisted on defending it, and it is the reason why Zhou Jun will not let go.

The loss of such an important city not only wasted all the previous achievements, but also greatly frustrated the morale of the army.

The main force was frustrated, Lu Xiu didn't close his eyes all night, and some adjutant generals joined the army and others suggested that troops be transferred to support, but he did not accept it.

Several generals under his command were very puzzled.

Someone stepped forward, angry as a rainbow bull: "General, Zhao Xun is in Tuyang, only fifty miles away from Pingzhou, the last general is willing to lead the troops to take the lead, enter the city and fight with the Zhou army to the death, and when the reinforcements arrive, it is bound to recapture Pingzhou!" ”

Lu Xiu was silent.

Someone next to him responded: "At this time, if you don't take advantage of the chaos in the city, transfer troops to counterattack, and wait for the Zhou army to be stationed, it will be difficult to capture it again, don't miss the opportunity!" ”

Several people nodded.

Lu Xiu always frowned and didn't speak.

Several people exchanged glances, but they really didn't understand, why the general, who had always been decisive, didn't express his position for a long time.

"Generalβ€”"

The adjutant general couldn't help but speak, and his face was red in a hurry.

"Abandoning the city and fleeing like this, like a lost dog, is really not our style in the past, even if we die in battle, we must retake the city and earn this breath!"

"Take back Pingzhou City! Swear to defend Pingzhou City! ”

Even the wounded soldier sitting on the ground stood up with his weapon in his hand and shouted in response.

The people who were originally wilting and slumping their heads stood up one after another, although they were injured and disabled, but in the end they were all men with temperament, and they all responded with their arms and breaths.

Lu Xiu stood in the center alone, surrounded by a group of soldiers who were not discouraged and regained their momentum.

Liang Wan stood behind the person, her heart seemed to be torn by a hand, she inhaled and struggled to remove her eyes.

She didn't dare to look at him, and she couldn't bear to look at him.

He hadn't looked at her since the night left, nor had he said a word to her again.

Liang Wan lowered her head, and in a blur she saw raindrops falling to the ground, leaving wet marks on the dry ground.

She knew it wouldn't be long before the marks were gone, as if they had never been there.

But she also knew that this was just the beginning......

The soldiers who were shouting could not wait for instructions, and looked at the silent person in the middle in confusion.

The chanting faded to a faint sound, interspersed with small voices of questioning.

"Pingzhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we have been out of food for so long, and we have persevered, even if we raid at night, we shouldn't break through the city gate so easily, why are Zhou thieves so effortless?"

Someone next to him pushed him hard: "Zheng Si, what the hell do you want to say, is it possible that you suspect that there are spies in us?" ”

"That's it, our defeat is defeat, but we can't fall for the trick of the thief that week and start infighting ourselves!"

"How can you listen to those nonsense?"

……

Zheng Si was besieged and accused, his face was red with anger, and he said angrily: "Don't you suspect it at all? ”

"Let's not say that the city gate is too easy to break, let's just say that usually, we are very vigilant at night, why did we sleep so dead last night?"

"My Zheng Si's life was picked up by the general from the battlefield in Luyang, I have never doubted the general, not to mention that if the general is really as rumored to collaborate with the enemy, how many times have we died earlier, so why wait until today?"

The person next to him slapped him on the shoulder, "What the hell are you trying to say?" If you don't make it clear, see if I don't slap you to death with two big mouths! ”

Zheng Si took a deep breath, looked through the crowd, and pointed over: "It's her!" ”

Sorry sorry, it's late~
