Chapter 762: The thieves retreat
"Quick, hurry up and rescue the brothers in the tunnel!" The envoy reacted as soon as he reacted, and commanded to the left and right.
"Report!" Just as the guards were about to go down to give orders, a voice suddenly interjected.
"Say!" The envoy looked at where the voice came from and said in a deep voice.
"The tunnels are ruined!" The scout looked at the envoy with some frustration.
"What did you say?" The envoy's face instantly became extremely terrifying, and he looked at the scout in a daze, and with the blood on the corner of his mouth, the scout was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, but just bowed his head and said nothing.
"Speak quickly!" The guard next to him saw that the envoy was about to go crazy, and hurriedly urged.
"The tunnels have been flooded, enter the tunnels, and those who escape will not be left in ten!" The scout replied, paused slightly, and peeked at the envoy whose face had changed drastically, and he finally said the words in his heart, "The Great Offering has not escaped!" ”
The envoy's body swayed, and he almost fell headlong under his horse.
The guards next to him were so frightened that they hurriedly held him up again, looking at him worriedly, afraid that he would not be able to bear it and vomit blood again.
However, the envoy's body shook twice, grabbed the reins, raised his eyes to look at the east of the city, and looked at the scout viciously, "Did the Great Offering not escape?" Or do you not know his whereabouts? ”
"This?" The scouts hesitated, indeed, they really didn't confirm, "The subordinates have explored all the tunnels, but all of them have been flooded by the moat, and they are still bubbling out, and no one can survive in this situation!" Therefore, the subordinates and others judged the great offering"
At this point, he was so apprehensive that he didn't dare to go any further, but secretly looked at the envoy.
The envoy didn't say anything this time, but turned his gaze to the head of the city, and asked softly, "All the tunnels are flooded?" ”
However, the gloom in his voice was so permeable that everyone present shuddered.
As the person concerned, the scout was even more defeated and trembling, however, he couldn't help but reply, "Special envoy, subordinates are undoubtedly confirmed, and all the tunnels have been destroyed by flooding!" ”
"Good, good! That's nice! The envoy applauded again and again, but the coldness of the words became clearer for anyone to hear, and they were sarcasm.
For a while, everyone was trembling and did not dare to speak.
"Strictly order all armies, siege the city, notify the law enforcement team to go up, if there is any retreat, behead!" The envoy's voice was like a cold wind, and he ordered.
The guards heard the coldness in the envoy's tone, looked at each other, and then looked at the city wall, the hesitant army, but they did not dare to open their mouths to stop it.
"Your safety?" One of the guards asked as he suppressed the chill in his heart.
"It's okay, go ahead! At this time, there is absolutely no possibility that the officers and soldiers will come to assassinate me! The envoy waved his hand like a fly.
The guards sighed softly and drove away as promised.
In an instant, the guards around the envoy were swept away. 、
But they said that when they were driving their horses to gallop, they took out a flag from their arms and unfurled it in the wind, and vaguely, there was a word "punishment" embroidered on it!
If they were in front of the envoy at this time, they would hear the envoy muttering softly, "Old Xiao, even if you die in this battle, there are so many brothers with you, go all the way!" ”
I don't know, if these thieves knew that they were just companions sent by the envoy to the great offering, would they cry out loudly?
However, if someone was in front of the envoy at this time, he would definitely find that the blood flowing from the corner of the envoy's mouth at this time was gradually increasing, but he didn't care about it and didn't wipe it.
As the guards and scouts left, the flames subsided, and the envoy disappeared into the darkness, but his figure remained unmoved, staring straight at the city, standing silently.
It was so quiet, but in the distance, at the head of the city, there was a shout of slaughter, and a new siege began!
At this time, the city was in flames, and the thieves rushed to the city.
Above the city, the battle was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and the battle was unprecedented!
The thieves outside the city poured all their strength into attacking the city, and there was a law enforcement team behind them to supervise the battle, and there was no way back but forward.
Above the city, the officers and soldiers have no way to retreat, only to fight to the death, just because, behind them are the brothers and parents of the comrades, once the city is broken, this city will appear in front of the thieves as if naked, let it ravage and fiddle, the people in the city will be slaughtered by the thieves, those are their comrades and parents, must not let the thieves break through the city, die, and have to defend!
Just because, here, is the first step for thieves to break the city, and it must be defended!
Although, the thieves are swarming up, but, after all, the failure of the previous tunnel plan, coupled with the roaring sharp weapon, has lost their morale, although they still look brave and abnormal, but they are only strong outside, not to mention that they attacked the city before, but they were driven by the law enforcement team, and they resisted from the bottom of their hearts. Although there are strong men fighting for their lives, but after all, they are limited!
On the contrary, the officers and soldiers above the city saw the scene at the city gate, their morale was high, their spirits were greatly boosted, and they turned into fierce tigers, especially under the effective dispatch and command of the generals, their combat power soared rapidly, and it was not a problem to be ten at a time.
In such a situation, these siege thieves are just delivering food.
The flames of war continued, and in the sound of shouting and killing, the sun gradually rose in the east, and it was brilliant in a flash! Disperse the clouds above the battlefield!
At this time, under the city wall, above the city, and under the sun, there were corpses all over the field, a mess, and the eyes were full of blood and red. On the city wall, the black blood stains are still flowing slowly, and they are very seeping!
When he looked up, he saw that at the foot of the city wall, the corpses had piled up to the height of two people, and with the help of these corpses, the thieves were still waving their blades and climbing towards the city.
Above the city, the officers and soldiers also wielded their blades weakly to fight with the thieves who climbed up to the city, but their movements were like children's, and they were weak.
At this moment, suddenly, a gong sounded.
The thieves at the head of the city were in a light of their eyes, and their spirits were greatly lifted, and they turned around and jumped down, and with a whoosh, they landed on the corpses under the city walls, rolled over, turned around and ran, and ran wildly towards their own camp.
The officers and soldiers who fought with it were dumbfounded and stared at this scene in amazement.
And those thieves who are still on the ladder are also stagnant, holding their hands together, sliding down the ladder, their footing is not stable, and they turn around and run.
This scene appeared in the city and under the city, obviously, how much these thieves want to retreat!
How they want to chase down the thieves! However, they were powerless to catch up, and even the rotating Mu family iron riders could only sigh helplessly in place at this time.
Just because, although the city gate was guarded and the thief's plan failed, however, Ming Zhongxin's sharp weapon bombardment made the road and moat outside the city gate broken, and the deep pit was densely covered outside the city gate. Let the thieves retreat!
Of course, this is just a matter of victory after everyone's victory!
Well, let's clean up the battlefield!
The officers and soldiers who came to their senses were waiting to stand up, but one by one they found themselves unable to stand up at all. When the long is long, some of them can't even hold the blade in their hands and fall to the ground, or worse, they fall to the ground and turn over and fall!
This battle is really miserable, although the morale is high, but after all, the thieves are several times more than us! The thieves are attacking like crazy, and we can't make sure we have enough rest when we take turns to fight! Only after a little rest and then put into the battlefield again, although they occupy the geographical advantage, but in fact they are fighting repeatedly, where is there so much physical strength available, at this time the thieves retreated, they can no longer hold on, and they fall down on the spot to rest!
For a while, the sergeants above the city fell one after another like dominoes!
The generals who are the commanders are also on the ground with their blades, looking around the entire city, seeing this scene, but they can't bear to blame them, after all, from the fifth watch to the present, but it has been a dark place, although it is not long, but its strength is even worse than before, even more powerful than the sum of the previous several sieges, let them rest!
At this time, in the camp of thieves, all the leaders of the Maitreya Society were all looking at the envoy who was sitting firmly on the throne with angry faces.
But seeing that they were all disgraced, the anger in their eyes couldn't hide their miserable appearance!
One of the leaders of the branch altar asked angrily, "Special envoy, although the Lord has put you in charge of Yunnan affairs, you can't be so childish!" He actually used the torture hall to force us to attack the city, and also ordered that if there is disobedience, it will be beheaded! This, this doesn't make sense, right? You'll have to give us an explanation! ”
"Not bad!"
"That's right!"
For a while, the leaders of the sub-altar echoed one after another, and the crowd was surging, looking at the envoy viciously. This siege, they have lost a lot of forces, and their strength has also weakened, this is the foundation of their foothold in the Maitreya Society, if this envoy does not give us an explanation, we will not give up!
"Okay, isn't this Mingjin's withdrawal?" The envoy looked at them with a gloomy face and said in a deep voice.
"Then you have to give us an explanation!" The leader of the altar, who spoke first, shouted.
"Say? What is the statement? The envoy smiled strangely and squinted at the leader of the altar.
Suddenly, there was silence in the tent. Looking closely, these leaders of the branch altar all looked at the strange smile of the envoy, and their bodies trembled slightly, obviously, they were frightened!
You know, the envoy had never laughed in front of them, let alone such a weird smile, it was terrifying!
"The law enforcement team is personally approved by the lord, and the highest strict order is carried out this time! Wartime law enforcement, what is wrong with the torture hall? Tell me about it? The envoy retracted his smile and looked at them coldly.
Yes! At this moment, a trace of horror flashed in their eyes, and then they remembered that this torture hall was only in the hands of this special envoy, and the law enforcement order was in the hands of others, if it was used in wartime, it was the responsibility of others, not to mention that this order was given by the lord himself, who could question, who dared to question?
"Humph!" The envoy looked around and snorted coldly, "Next, let's prepare to withdraw our troops!" ”
What the? The people, who had not yet woken up from their fear, were instantly dumbfounded when they heard this order.
The envoy actually wants to withdraw his troops? How is this said?
You must know that this siege is the proposal of the envoy, and it is the most important strategic layout, how can you say that you will give up!
For a while, they all looked at the envoy in horror, they thought that this was the envoy's strategy to retreat, and now they didn't dare to echo it, otherwise, they didn't know when the head would move?
The envoy looked at them with a useless look, and explained angrily, "This plan has been frustrated, coupled with the siege battle, our personnel have suffered great losses, even if the city is besieged, it is of little significance." What's more, there is news that Mu Wangye Mu Kun is only more than forty miles away from here, and he will come later! Moreover, the troops of the Li Dynasty in various places have also been transferred here. Do you want to stay and fight against the Mu family's iron horse? ”
Yes! The leaders of the altar have been blown up by the news, when did these news arrive? How did they not know?
But they know that if these news are true, I'm afraid that we really can't besiege the city here, and it's just a matter of taking the city, if we don't break it, I'm afraid that we will be joined by people at home, wrapped dumplings, and then there will be no place to cry!
"Where are we going?" Someone asked.
After all, the next place is also very critical, it is they who realized that Wang Shouren's practice of gradually encroaching on their territory is to support their foundation in Yunnan, so they unanimously agreed to come to calculate this Qincha, but they didn't expect that stealing chickens would not make a loss of rice, and they would lose a large part of their strength, although it was the envoy who did it with his intentions, but now they dare not question, who let the family hold the trump card of the law enforcement team? That's the strongest decree under the Lord of the Maitreya Society! If there is disobedience, even if he is beheaded by the envoy, the most he will do is a reprimand! It's a catastrophe for us!
The envoy smiled strangely, took out a handful of paper from his sleeve and handed it to everyone.
The leaders of the branch took the note, and after looking down, their whole bodies trembled, and they looked up at the envoy with a shocked face, and the fear in their eyes was even deeper.
"Alright, do what you want!" The envoy's face sank, and he commanded heavily.
"Report!" In the middle of the city, a scout rushed to the outside of the yamen hall and shouted.
"Speak!" A thick voice shouted.
"The thieves outside the city have retreated!" The scout shouted.
What the? For a moment, two figures rushed out of the lobby.
It was none other than the heads of the city at this time, Wang Shouren and Shao Ji.
Wang Shouren looked at the scout with surprise on his face, just waiting to ask.
But he could only hear the sound of hurried hooves outside the yamen.
In an instant, Wang Shouren set his eyes outside the yamen.
There was a sound of rapid running, and a group of people rushed in.
Hey, it was Ming Zhongxin in front, but at this time, he was full of smoke and dust, black and white, and he became a five-flower face.
But for some reason, Wang Shouren actually waited most to see him at this time, and walked quickly to meet him with a smile on his face.
