Chapter 101, Retreat
"The walls of the West City have fallen. Soon the news came from among the soldiers.
The commanders on the turret saw the direction of the smoke, and the savages poured into the city.
The gunpowder room in the west of the city wall, located next to the city wall, suddenly exploded, and the force of the explosion collapsed the city wall. I don't know how this fire started.
"The savages have taken Simon. The soldiers of the northern city suddenly fell into a panic.
At this time, the momentum of the savages was in full swing, and the form of the northern city suddenly plummeted. A group of savages took advantage of the opponent's momentum and climbed to the top of the city, and after the desperate interception of the defenders, the enemy army was finally wiped out on the city wall. But it soon happened again.
"Second master, you can withdraw quickly. Nan Feiyu's men kept urging him.
Nan Feiyu pushed away his subordinates and continued to defend against the enemy.
"Brethren, even if the gates of the city are about to be breached, no one in my south will retreat. Nan Feiyu shouted.
The brothers of the "Huntian Sect" were the first to respond to him, and the soldiers who were originally discouraged also responded. For a while, Beicheng was shouting, and the momentum also rose. But what they didn't know was that the northern savage cavalry had broken through the west gate, the west gate had been opened, and the northern savage cavalry had poured in like a tide.
The defender sent the last of his soldiers to engage in a street battle with the northern savage army in the West City. He cannot abandon the city, and according to the will of the government, he will be punished for abandoning the city at this time.
This fashion protector made a look at Nan Yaoyang.
"My lord, the contemptible man is willing to bring his brother to resist. Nan Yaoyang said.
This was so good that the defender immediately agreed. Nan Yaoyang took Monk Xiao Yuebai and other subordinates down to the turret.
......
Nan Yaoyang and his party followed the reinforcement team to Xicheng, and after walking for a distance, Shang Protector caught up with the reinforced soldier with a smile. I saw him smile and say a few words in front of the soldiers, and the soldiers looked at each other, and finally the captain who took the lead scolded at Shang Protector:
"You dog thief. ”
Unexpectedly, this Shang Protector grinned and pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed the captain in the chest. Several members of the "Armillary Heaven Sect" who followed immediately surrounded these soldiers when they saw them.
At this time, the sound of killing in the city was already shaking the sky, and the sound of horses' hooves of the northern savages also reached everyone's ears from time to time.
When the soldiers saw that the general situation had gone, they knelt down in a hurry: "I would like to listen to the dispatch of the Nanzhang Sect." ”
"Let's go. Nan Yaoyang ordered from the side.
Saying that, Nan Yaoyang led everyone towards the south gate.
Xiao Yuebai was taken aback and said, "What is this for?"
"Young Master Xiao, you can follow us. Shang Protector said with a smile.
When everyone came to the south gate, Gu Yeyang had already been waiting here for a long time.
At this time, Xiao Yuebai suddenly realized. He looked carefully and found that Uncle Nan Feiyu was not here.
"The master of the ancient village, Uncle Nan. Xiao Yuebai asked Gu Yeyang.
"Didn't he come with you?" Gu Yeyang asked rhetorically.
Xiao Yuebai panicked when she heard this. At that moment, he wanted to go towards the north gate, but he was stopped by Nan Yaoyang after just a few steps.
"Are you going to die?" Nan Yaoyang said.
"No, I have to go and get Uncle Nan out. Xiao Yuebai said.
Gu Yeyang stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yuebai's shoulder and said, "If your Uncle Nan knew about him, he wouldn't want you to save him. ”
At this time, the city was already in chaos, and from time to time soldiers fled towards the southern city.
"The tide is over, let's get out of town. Shang Protector said from the side.
Saying that, Gu Yeyang gave Xiao Yuebai a look and told Xiao Yuebai not to take risks. Xiao Yuebai hesitated in his mind: Maybe Gu Yeyang was right. In the end, under the pull of some congregants, he still followed everyone to the south gate.
At this time, everyone took every step out, which was to push Nan Feiyu into the sea of fire. Xiao Yuebai felt that the more he walked out, the clearer the shouting and killing sound in his ears became.
......
"Second master, the West City has fallen, and the wild people have killed from the west, so run away. Nan Feiyu's men ran over to him and said.
Nan Feiyu's face was solemn, and he looked at the brothers who were still resisting.
"Lin Daxia, the defense made the adult commit suicide. A soldier wearing a whole body cried and ran over and said.
"What about Nan Zhangjiao?" asked Nan Feiyu eagerly.
The soldier hesitated and said, "Before the defense envoy died, he scolded the Nanzhang Sect for being ...... False...... Hypocrites, because the Nanzhang Sect has fled. ”
Nan Feiyu looked at the northern savage army like a flood and couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
"The tide is turning, tell the brethren to retreat. He whispered.
As if he had an antidote, the soldier was eager to swallow the order, and was about to shout at the defending troops who were still resisting. But Nan Feiyu rushed over to stop him.
"Go first and tell the brothers in the east city that we are waiting for them in the turret in the center of the city. Nan Feiyu said.
When the soldier's face changed drastically when he heard that there was still a mission, Nan Feiyu patted him on the shoulder and said, "The responsibility is heavy, and the lives of the brothers are in your hands." After saying that, he called one of his own subordinates to follow.
The order to retreat was given quietly, and before the order to retreat, Nan Feiyu had ordered his men to pile up all the gunpowder at the city gate.
According to his plan, a part of the wounded were evacuated first, then the soldiers, and finally the brothers of his handsome "Hun Tian Sect" were cut off. But Nan Feiyu is not a soldier after all, let alone a commander. In this extremely critical situation, the brothers of the "Huntian Sect" were still difficult to control, let alone the soldiers, and the retreat became a rout at the beginning.
The first to retreat was the defenders of the East Gate, because when the Eastern Army retreated, they heard the deserters in the west city in front of them say that the Northern Savage Army had already attacked. The Eastern Army, which was already weak, suddenly panicked and scattered. As soon as the news spread, Dongcheng immediately retreated. The entire Dongcheng was in chaos, so that the northern savage army outside the Dongcheng could easily break through the city. The retreating soldiers of Beicheng heard the news of the destruction of Dongcheng halfway, so the retreat of Beicheng also began.
"Second master, leave the others alone, let's go by ourselves. The soldier beside Nan Feiyu said.
Nan Feiyu looked at everything in front of him, and his heart was like a knife. By this time, the gates had creaked and would collapse at any moment.
"Let's get out. Nan Feiyu said with a sigh.
At this time, Deulcheng was already a fat meat that was about to be slaughtered. The enemy had already poured in from the West Gate and the East Gate, and Nan Feiyu was now retreating not so much for survival as for the sake of death.
The last resistance of the North City collapsed. The moment the enemy broke through the north gate, Nan Feiyu ignited the gunpowder piled up at the city gate with a rocket. The explosion resounded through the heavens and the earth, and countless enemies in the northern city were killed, and the city gate was also blown up, holding the enemies in the northern city firmly in tow.
......
Nan Yaoyang, who had left the city, stood on the mountain south of Ulcheng and watched the smoke of the regimental artillery bombing slowly rise. A tear in the corner of his eye blew up with the wind and drifted into the air.
