Chapter 44: Xie Lao was martyred, and his vitality was greatly damaged
Seeing that the sky is about to darken, but there is no news that Xie Mingze has arrived with reinforcements, the fire under Linyi City has been extinguished, and the arrows have long been exhausted, the soldiers of Qiyang Kingdom are clearing and removing the obstacles blocking the advance, they are many and powerful, I believe that it will not be long before they can break through the closed gate of Linyi City.
In that case, Linyi City will really be broken by Qiyang Kingdom......
All the people who stayed were very dignified, they chose to stay, and they were ready to face death at any time and live and die with Linyi City.
At the critical moment when the sky was slowly darkening, but no reinforcements arrived, Huang Li discussed with General Xie Lao to let the seriously injured soldiers leave first, and those who were not injured voluntarily chose to stay or leave.
They had to prepare for the worst, if the reinforcements could not arrive in time, they would destroy the city - burn the city of Linyi, delay the pace of the Qiyang army for the departing soldiers, and give them enough time to join the reinforcements who were rushing in the direction of Linyi City.
Unless it is a last resort, Huang Li does not want to do this, and General Xie will not be willing to do this. But now there is no need to hesitate, this is the only way at the moment......
Sitting on the marble steps in front of the city lord's mansion, his hands twisted together with anxiety, his face solemn.
At this time, every second was urgent, and the soldiers of the Qiyang Kingdom outside could attack at any time, and the Grim Reaper was smiling evilly at them, waiting to harvest their souls.
Old General Xie did not sit here like Huangli, but stood on the city wall. Guarding this is his life's mission, even if he loses his life, he can't back down half a step, this is his iron backbone as a descendant of the Xie family.
I'd rather die in battle than escape!
Feng Xisheng was standing behind Huang Li, he wanted to help Huang Li, but Huang Li resolutely did not allow Feng Xisheng to make a move, otherwise he would ......
The consequences Huang Li didn't say clearly, but at that time, Feng Xisheng looked at Huang Li's eyes and saw the firmness in them, which could not be refused, he didn't dare.
He had always known that Huangli would definitely do what he said.
Seeing that Feng Xisheng dispelled the intention of helping her, Huang Li relieved herself.
In fact, she can choose to leave, but her heart does not allow her to choose like this, this is her bottom line, her criterion - never give up, never retreat, never give in, never give up!
It's not that Huang Li doesn't know that "stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood", but if she chooses this path at this time, she will always fall into a strange circle in the future, and how should her faith be placed. Maybe her behavior is really stupid and stubborn, but she is at ease and has no regrets.
She is not only Huangli, she is also the king of the Abyss Kingdom, the god of war of the Abyss Kingdom, and the existence of the people of the Abyss Country who protect the Abyss Country in their hearts, and she can't retreat...... At least this time...... No!
She still has one more thing to do......
It would take at least two hours for the reinforcements that were supposed to have arrived in Linyi City before they could actually reach Linyi City.
The sky is not beautiful, just on the way of their rapid advance, dark clouds overheaded, and it rained heavily for a while, the rain made the road ahead muddy, and the process of marching was naturally affected, and for some reason, suddenly a number of soldiers suddenly had a high fever, and a series of bad things came, as if they were deliberately trying to prevent them from rushing to Linyi City to rescue, but it seemed that it was just accidental......
Xie Mingze was also very anxious and panicked in his heart, his father, General Xie, was still guarding Linyi City, he knew that his father would definitely not give up Linyi City, and would live and die with Linyi City, which was also what he was most afraid of.
It was said in the emergency report last night that Linyi City couldn't hold out for long, and they couldn't arrive in time, so he didn't dare to think about what they would face next......
Even if Xie Mingze tried to stay calm, his red eyes would not deceive, and his trembling hands would not deceive, he ...... I'm scared......
In the end, Linyi City still couldn't wait for reinforcements to rescue, the soldiers of Qiyang State stepped into the gate of Linyi City, and General Xie saw such a scene happening in front of his eyes - Linyi City fell......
At this moment, his heart was no longer excited, and it was calm, like a quiet lake. The soldiers who remained on the city wall all went to light the fires in various parts of Linyi City according to their orders, and evacuated after lighting them.
The fortified walls were now mottled, with black marks from the fire, large patches of blood that had already congealed, and the bodies of the dead soldiers who were lying in disarray, the corpses that had not had time to dispose of.
General Xie stood in such a scene, and at the moment when the soldiers of Qiyang State stepped into the gate of Linyi City, he slowly climbed to the edge of the city wall, lowered his head, and saw all kinds of furniture and various wooden objects that had been burned black, as well as charred corpses that had been burned, and the smell of gunpowder smoke was still in the air.
"Yuyuan Kingdom, Linyi City ......" Old General Xie whispered in his mouth, closed his painful eyes, and fell forward......
Linyi City is gone......
The Xie family army was defeated......
He......
Huang Li hurried to the city wall, and what she saw was that General Xie was going to die in the city, and she wanted to run over and stop it.
But...... Didn't have time......
Huang Li stared at his empty hand, as well as the ** below, and suddenly lost consciousness.
She...... Isn't it...... Wrong......
The body falls backwards uncontrollably.
Feng Xisheng, who was following closely behind Huang Li, hurriedly teleported to Huang Li's side to catch it.
This time, Feng Xisheng didn't listen to Huang Li's words and took him away from Linyi City, which had already fallen.
Holding the person who had lost a lot of weight recently due to the attack of Qiyang Kingdom, Feng Xisheng's heart tingled, if he chose to make a move, would it not be like this......
Regret filled Feng Xisheng's chest, blocking his chest, extremely uncomfortable.
Silently holding the sleeping Huangli, he quickly approached in the direction he had come from.
Li'er woke up and wished she was there. Huang Li's thoughts, Feng Xisheng can always guess eight or nine.
The burning Linyi City destroyed many Qiyang soldiers who had no time to retreat and left Linyi City, and they also succeeded in making Qiyang Kingdom withdraw from Linyi City again, and they could only bypass Linyi City.
The generals of the Qiyang Kingdom this time did not expect that the Yuyuan Congress would be so ruthless, and they would not hesitate to burn down the entire city to stop them from advancing.
However, this can't let them stay outside Linyi City, the Abyss Kingdom is no longer the same as before, they have been preparing for this time for so long, nothing can stop them from stepping on the iron cavalry of the Abyss Kingdom!
When Huang Li woke up again, she found herself lying in Feng Xisheng's arms. Immediately after that, the blue sky, the lush trees, and Feng Xisheng's worried eyes came into view.
I got up, and my head was still a little dizzy.
Where are they?
Isn't she supposed to be in Linyi City?
Also, did General Xie really jump off Linyi City and die in the city? Or was this just a nightmare of hers?
Huang Li looked at Feng Xisheng beside her with pleading eyes, wanting to get a little affirmation, sure that those were all her nightmares, and nothing happened.
How could Feng Xisheng, who understands Huangli, not know her thoughts, but facts are facts, and he can't lie to her.
So in the eyes of Huang Li's evasive expectations, Feng Xisheng still nodded affirmatively.
This affirmation made Huang Li seem to have returned to the moment when he was lying on the city wall in a daze, watching the scene of General Xie being martyred in front of his eyes.
How could it not be a nightmare?
Why is it true?
If she asked Feng Xisheng for help, would she be able to prevent this from happening?
......
Feng Xisheng gently took Huangli into his arms and comforted him silently.
Although she really wanted to continue to escape, but now that the situation was urgent, Linyi City had fallen, if she couldn't stop the Qiyang Kingdom, then the Yuyuan Kingdom would really be possible......
Huangli had to cheer up and press her grief to the bottom of her heart, now is not the time to be sad and regretful. Only by driving the Qiyang Kingdom out of the Yuyuan Kingdom can the old general Xie die in vain.
"Feng Xisheng, can you take me to Xie Mingze? It's the deputy general you saw last time. This time, Huang Li did not refuse to ask Feng Xisheng for help.
"Good. Feng Xisheng immediately responded.
The reason why Feng Xisheng didn't take her to Xie Mingze when Huang Li was in a coma was due to certain considerations.
He just took the unconscious Huangli with him, which would only cause no effect. Even the main general will be unconscious, and the morale of the soldiers will be even lower. But at this time, this is the most taboo.
Therefore, after Feng Xisheng found the reinforcements, he did not show up immediately, but followed closely not far away with Huang Li, he also knew that Huang Li would not sleep for too long and would wake up immediately.
Therefore, when Huang Li said that he was going to find Xie Mingze, Feng Xisheng immediately responded.
In an instant, Feng Xisheng took Huang Li away. It didn't take long for reinforcements to be found and met Xie Mingze.
"General, why are you here? Could it be that Linyi City ......" Seeing Huangli, Xie Mingze immediately ran forward, his tone anxious and a little panicked.
"Well, no. Huang Li said this cruel answer bitterly.
Hearing this truth, Xie Mingze's face suddenly turned extremely pale, and he staggered back a few steps before he could stop.
"That'...... My dad ......" Xie Mingze's eyes flashed with tears, and there was still a faint glimmer of hope.
The general stood in front of him well, and his father might be fine, after all, the general went to Linyi City and would not let his father die......
He still secretly hoped that the general had brought his father out, maybe he was only injured, so he didn't show up here.
"General Xie...... martyred...... "Huang Li couldn't bear to tell Xie Mingze this cruel reality, but Xie Mingze had the right to know this fact, and she had no right to hide it.
Moreover, if you can hide it for a while, you can't hide it for a lifetime, Xie Mingze will know sooner or later, sooner or later, that's it!
"Martyrdom...... Scold...... Hehehe......" read, chuckling, tears streaming down his cheeks.
How could his father leave Linyi City behind, he already knew it in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it.
Martyrdom......
Sure enough, it was the old man's doing!
But when you choose to die in the city, why don't you think about it for me? If you die, I'll be alone!
"Hehehehehe...... Ahhhh
"Xie Mingze, you ......" Huang Li couldn't stand it, after all, she was also her most trusted subordinate, and she was also at fault for becoming like this.
Feng Xisheng stopped his waist and hugged Huang Li into his arms, held Huang Li's hand that he wanted to reach out to comfort Xie Mingze, and stopped Huang Li's action.
Huang Li looked back at Feng Xisheng, puzzled, why did she stop her?
Seeing the doubts in Huang Li's eyes, Feng Xi lowered her head to Huang Li's ear and whispered, "He needs to vent." ”
Vent?
Huang Li was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. It does need to be vented......
At this critical time, holding it in your heart will only backfire, and crying is the best way to vent your emotions.
Let Xie Mingze stay here to vent, and Huang Li pulled Feng Xisheng to arrange for the soldiers to resist the army that had captured Qiyang State.
From Feng Xisheng's mouth, Huang Li quickly learned about the eastward direction of the Qiyang Army, and then quickly made countermeasures.
With the assistance of Feng Xisheng, Huang Li grasps the overall situation more clearly and accurately.
Although the army of Qiyang State has been prepared for a long time before, but it is not enough to defeat the supply of logistics materials and food, in the territory of the Yuan Kingdom, the army of the Yuan Kingdom naturally has the upper hand, under the unique command of Huang Li, after more than ten days, finally forced the army of the Qi Yang Kingdom back.
This time, both the Yu Yuan Kingdom and the Qi Yang Kingdom were seriously damaged, and their vitality was greatly damaged.
After driving the army of the Qiyang Kingdom out of the border of the Yuyuan Kingdom, Huangli did not give the order to take advantage of the victory to pursue, because this was not a good choice, for the current Yuyuan Kingdom.
If any of the other three kingdoms launched an attack on the Qiyang Kingdom or the Yuyuan Kingdom at this time, there was no suspense that it would succeed.
Huang Li thought of this, how could others not think of it.
Snow Country and Nanyuan Country have no action, and it is Niyue Country that has action, but these are all later stories.
After that, it took some time to straighten up, and although there was no way to restore the way it was before, it was much better.
With the joint efforts of everyone, Linyi City was cleaned up and entered the reconstruction work.
Xie Mingze was appointed as the new lord of Linyi City, taking over all the duties of the deceased veteran general Xie.
Before leaving, Xie Mingze invited Huang Li and Feng Xisheng to have a meal, saw them off, and returned to Yuancheng.
Looking at Xie Mingze's forced smile, Huang Li wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he still didn't say it.
Time will gradually fade all the scars, and although it will not be able to heal it, it will feel much better.
She was also sad for a long time when her father and queen mother died, and Xie Mingze feels the same way now. No, it should hurt more than her. After all, she still had an imperial brother at that time, but Xie Mingze had nothing......
When he went back, Xie Mingze arranged a carriage for Huang Li and Feng Xisheng, stood at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and watched the carriage slowly move away until it disappeared around the corner.
Look up at the sky.
Here, I will protect it from now on......
Geezer......
You can hear me...... Right......
