Captain Tianyao looked around, taking advantage of the fact that the wall of fire temporarily isolated the tidal walking corpse puppets outside the wall, his brothers were desperately rescuing the wounded and replenishing firearms, and a few soldiers who had been shattered by the slaughter just now were running back and forth like crazy.

In the past, if he encountered such a situation on the battlefield, he would not hesitate to directly slaughter a few deserters to stabilize the morale of the army. But after seeing the death charge of the Walking Corpse Legion, and hearing Su Tu's introduction, Captain Tianyao was also a little confused.

After hesitating, he decided to take Su Tu to report to Chang Poyu.

Chang Poyu has been wearing it all the time, and after listening to Su Tu and Lynx's report, he also groaned for a while, and then asked Captain Tianyao,

"Will the current firearms last until dawn?"

"It's barely possible to deal with these Nanjun Fang Dun and Iron Harriers, but we haven't seen the demon army that Su Tu said. And ......" Captain Tianyao wanted to speak and stopped.

Chang Poyu could probably guess Captain Tianyao's worries, but he still wanted to hear his complete thoughts.

"And what? ”

"If what Su Tu said is true, Tianyao is afraid that it will be difficult to hold. ”

"You!" Although Chang Poyu was prepared, when he heard Tianyao's commander say such words himself, he was stunned, and the horsewhip in his hand was drawn according to the captain.

Captain Tianyao's body didn't move at all, but his eyes blinked involuntarily, and when the whip passed, a blood mark on his face began to slowly ooze blood.

Chang Poyu didn't expect that the military general in front of him didn't dodge or dodge, and took the whip with his face, and he was stunned for a moment, then sighed, his tone eased a lot, and then asked,

"What are you going to do?"

Captain Tianyao wiped the blood stains on his face with his sleeves, as if nothing had happened, and let his subordinates unfold the map near Tianyao,

"The strength of the other side is unknown, but it is clearly far above our victorious army, and now it seems that we cannot start a field battle with them, and can only rely on the walls to hold on and wait for reinforcements. If Tianyao can't hold it, we need to preserve our strength as much as possible, and rely on Jinsha and Shuiquan to establish a second line of defense. ”

Although Chang Polu is old, his years of career as a horse have made him well aware of the territory of the Great Xia Empire, especially the key border cities such as Tianyao, Jinsha and Shuiquan, and even the nearby terrain is imprinted in his mind.

However, he still patiently followed Captain Tianyao's instructions on the map, and listened carefully to his plan, which was actually Chang Po's own plan.

Chang Poyu inadvertently nodded slightly.

It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly called out the name of Captain Tianyao, "Lu Kefa." ”

Captain Tianyao was suddenly shouted his name by Chang Po, and he didn't react for a while, and when he understood, he stood firm and gave a military salute, "The subordinates are here!"

Chang Poyu's tone was calm but firm, "From now on, I will take full command of Tianyao's defense, you go and straighten out your men, remember, people are in the city, it is your promise to me, to the entire Great Xia!"

"Yes!" Lu Kefa guessed that General Chang Poyu was probably very dissatisfied with his poor command or unstable military morale, so he was ready to take over the city defense, but the next sentence was still unexpected by him.

"The position of captain of Tianyao is concurrently held by someone from me, and you are no longer a captain. ”

Lu Kefa's body shook, although he was punished by Chang Po in public many times, but that kind of situation is not rare in the army, but in this case, the removal of his Tianyao captain is not like a general who has experienced a hundred battles.

"General Chang, the subordinate city defense is unfavorable, and he is willing to be punished, but now the brothers are fighting for their lives, and I am more familiar with Tianyao, can you let me finish this battle and deal with it again, my subordinates do not seek to make meritorious contributions, but to live and die with Tianyao. ”

"Well, since you know that your city defense is unfavorable, don't rely on this position anymore. Chang Polu's tone seemed to have no previous dissatisfaction, but it contained unshakable power.

Lu Kefa still wanted to argue, but Chang Polu waved his hand to stop him, "Now, don't talk nonsense, you follow me to the city wall to supervise the battle!"

Chang Poyu's decision is indisputable, thinking that city defense is indeed more important, Lu Kefa obediently followed Chang Poyu to climb the city wall again.

Along the way, Chang Polu asked Su Tu again, "Since you also have military skills in Nanjun, don't you have any way to deal with Mi Li?"

Su Tu looked helpless, "The military art of our Nanjun, although it also inherited the ancient magic arts, but since the battle of divine punishment, there is no record of these fierce beasts, people only regard it as some legends, and today's military art is mostly for the treatment of wounds and doctors in the army, and there are few that can fight against this mysterious power." ”

"The lynx said you could disguise yourself and hide among the walking corpses from being discovered. ”

"Well," Su Tu hesitated for a moment, and simply said, "When our Yata City was broken, all the remaining soldiers were controlled by Mi Li. And the women and children were all used as rations by those demon armies......" As if recalling the terrifying picture at that time, Su Tu's body began to tremble slightly, "I was hidden among those soldiers, originally I wanted to find a chance to find Mi Li's revenge, but unfortunately, my learning was limited, and I never got what I wanted." ”

"Didn't you say you would only heal the sick?"

"This is a secret of our Nanjun, and some of the military skills that really inherit the spiritual vein will have some spiritual control ability. ”

Although Su Tu understated it, everyone knew that he was the one he said to have some spiritual veins, but it seemed that even he had no way to balance Mili's mind control technique.

Chang Polu turned to the other side and asked the lynx, "Do you have a solution?"

The lynx glanced at the military art Su Tu beside him, and imagined that there was no need to hide it from him, "I actually knew little about some spirit control techniques when I was trained, and in the dense forest, I used the blood of Yang Spring to resist the heart control technique of Mili, but ordinary soldiers, if they lack special training, they can't rely on Yang Spring alone." ”

"Lu Kefa, you give the lynx a few more people he wants. Lynx, I know you've done your best, but Tianyao is in danger, and there aren't many people I can rely on. ”

When he said this, Chang Polu kept staring at Lu Kefa, which made the former captain of Tianyao's face blush, and he thought that Chang Polu was mocking his own unfavorable supervision.

"My subordinates are willing to lead the elite squad in the army and follow the Lynx to act together. ”

"You just pick out who he wants, and you and I have other arrangements. ”

Bobcat selected ten elite defenders who had undergone special training, and after consulting with Su Tu, the twelve uniforms were uniformed with Nanjun shield guns and prepared to launch a sneak attack.

When everyone stepped on the charred black land under the city again, the lynx asked Su Tu, "I should call you big brother depending on my age, Brother Su, our trip is very dangerous, and we have to rely on your camouflage skills, you may regret agreeing to us to defend Tianyao City?"

Su Tu smiled bitterly, "When Yata City was broken, my wife and children were all killed by those bloodthirsty demon armies, and now those brothers who attacked Tianyao don't know what they are doing, we are actually dead." ”

"Well, if we're all dead, there's nothing to be afraid of dying. "According to the plan, the twelve warriors are ready to find the right opportunity to meet this mysterious demonic beast.

On the tower of the north gate of Tianyao, Chang Polu looked at the oil fire on the city wall that was gradually extinguishing, and looked at the defender soldiers who were also gradually falling into numbness, and he finally made up his mind,

"Lu Kefa, are you sure that the enemy is only attacking the north gate, and the other gates are not ambushed?"

"Returning to General Chang, since it is necessary to draw most of the troops to withstand the enemy's offensive, I have released ten miles of outposts outside each of the other three gates, and let them report back immediately if there is an enemy situation. ”

"That's good, just look at the number of these walking corpses, at the moment it's just to break our psychological defense line or not take our Great Xia warriors in their eyes at all, if they rely on the number to surround us......"

Chang Po has been doing things so far, and he no longer conceals his plans, "Lu Kefa, from now on, I will also serve as the captain of Tianyao, and you are responsible for retreating the people and ordnance in the city to Shuiquan and Jinsha as soon as possible, and establish a second line of defense according to your previous plan." ”

Lu Kefa suddenly understood Chang Poyu's intentions, this old general Chang was born in the Changsheng Army of the Five Armies, although he is now the head of the Five Armies, but he always has a special feeling for the Changsheng of the Northern Army. General Chang Lao's removal of his position as captain of Tianyao was to practice a tradition of the victorious army of Great Xia.

In battle, no one can be a deserter, and if you defend, no general can abandon your home city.

Although Chang Poyu was unwilling to give Tianyao of Great Xia to those demons from hell, after several battles, he could also see that with the current situation, Lu Kefa's plan was the best plan.

Lu Kefa looked at Chang Polu's firm back, as if he was standing majestically in Tianyao's city tower like a statue, and the defenders on the city tower also regained confidence because of the appearance of this old man, and he finally made his own decision.

"General Chang, Captain Lu Kefa of Tianyao assures you that you will live and die with Tianyao!"

Chang Polu came back to his senses and angrily reprimanded Lu Kefa, "You are a little captain, do you dare to disobey the orders of the commander of my five armies? Now, you are no longer the captain of Tianyao! Execute my order and evacuate immediately!"

Captain Lu Kefa of Tianyao showed an extremely firm look on his face at this moment, and the faint uneasiness in front of Chang Poyu disappeared, and he calmly shook his fists at General Chang Lao.

"General Chang, you are the governor of the five armies, I always thought that I was in a humble position, and you did not want to listen to the opinions of our brothers below. Since you approve of your plan, it should be up to me to carry out this plan. ”

Chang Poyu still wanted to reprimand, but suddenly a dark arrow struck in the dark, but fortunately, a soldier beside him was quick and stood up in front of Chang Polu, but he was hit by a sharp arrow in the shoulder and immediately fell to the ground.

"Captain Jia Bu of the Che Cavalry obeyed the order, and ordered you to prepare all the baggage vehicles of Tianyao, bring only food and ordnance, empty all the cloth and other soft goods, free up transportation capacity, and assist the people to evacuate, before dawn, I ask you to lead the team out of the city for at least twenty miles, and withdraw the team to the two cities of Jinsha and Shuiquan. ”

"The last general commands!"

"Captain Tong Meng obeyed the order and ordered you to lead two hundred elite cavalry to escort General Chang to retreat to Shuiquan first, replenish supplies, and then listen to General Chang's instructions and choose the opportunity to escort the general out of the northern frontier. ”

"The last general commands!"

"Captain Dewey listened to the order and ordered you to select the general army, and the rest of the sergeants were handed over to the cavalry captain Jia Bu to evacuate. ”

"The last general commands!"

At this moment, Lu Kefa, who had been respectful in front of Chang Poyu, no longer had the slightest hesitation, every one of his military orders was concise and to the point, and every lieutenant who received the order also agreed to be categorical, and seemed to hang Chang Poyu on the side, even Tong Meng, the captain of the tiger who wanted to escort him out, didn't seem to care about General Chang's feelings.

"Lu Kefa, are you going to disobey the order! Come on, take him down for me!" Chang Poyu began to thunder again, but this time, the surrounding generals were indifferent.

Half of the more than 20 personal guards led by Chang Poyu when he left Sheng'an followed Geng Zhong to help Shule, and a few of the remaining people followed the lynx to act together, and now there are only five guards left by his side, but obviously these five people also understand Lu Kefa's intentions, and they don't want this banner of the Five Armies of Great Xia to fall into the hands of those demons who are besieging Tianyao City.

Chang Poyu didn't expect that the soldiers around him would no longer listen to his command, this time he was really angry, he took out the sword on his body casually, and slashed at Lu Kefa's arm, and the sword blade slashed on the elbow helmet of this Tianyao commander, just like before, Lu Kefa stood motionless.

Chang Poyu looked at this stubborn subordinate, and then glared at the many border troops around him who had already hung colors, and sighed, "Could it be that in your eyes, am I already so useless? Lu Kefa, the current enemy, you also understand the truth of preserving your strength, you young generals are the real reliance of our Great Xia." ”

Lu Kefa was neither humble nor arrogant, and appeased this respected old general, "General Chang, there are many generals like Lu Kefa in Great Xia, but there is only one General Chang Poyu, and the legend of our Tiankui Chang Victorious Army still needs to be passed on by General Chang." ”

"Action!" This last order was addressed to all the soldiers present, and everyone began to act separately according to Lu Kefa's arrangement.

Powerful enemies are like black clouds, but the centaurs in Tianyao have begun to fight back in the final battle.
