The trumpet sounded again, not as urgent and passionate as when the troops were dispatched before, but rather low and somewhat helpless.
Ulan, retreat.
Zhuoyang did not give the order to pursue, and time was in a hurry. Only the wolf cavalry army arrived at the Chifeng Fortress. The large troops were not in place yet, and it was not time to officially start the war against Ulan.
The Demon Wolf Army returned to the fortress gate and ordered his men to clean the battlefield. Xu Huang did not bother to wipe the blood on his face and invited Zhuo Yang to the main hall of the fortress.
"Sir, please take a seat!" Xu Huang moved Zhuoyang to the main seat with a warm face, and hurriedly ordered people to make tea and water. Then he asked politely, "I was pressed for time just now, so I didn't have time to ask, so I have to take the liberty to ask.
In a sentence, please give me your last name, sir?!"
The other party is a god-level master sent by the Crown Princess. Regardless of his strength, identity, or just timely rescue, he deserves his respect.
Zhuo Yang was not polite. If he wanted to finish this battle quickly, he needed absolute authorization.
Sitting on the main seat, Zhuo Yang smiled calmly, "I'm Zhuo Yang!"
Zhuo Yang?!
Xu Huang is no stranger to this name.
As early as after the National Master Competition, the name Zhuoyang had already become famous in the city. Later, after the fall of Saofeng City, the name Zhuoyang became a name that everyone knew among the generals of the Ming Dynasty.
Now, who doesn’t know about this demon king, Shang Zhuoyang?
Xu Huang had already realized that this person might be related to the demon clan when he saw those demon wolf troops before. Now that he heard his name, he became more and more sure of his identity, and his eyes became more and more surprised.
The Demon King actually came to Chifeng Fortress to help the Ming army?!
Seeing Xu Huang's thoughts, Zhuoyang looked slightly solemn, "I know that the general does not trust me. Please rest assured, general. After all my troops and horses arrive, we will retreat outside the fortress. The general and the Ming army will only hold the fortress. Wu
Lan Junma will be dealt with by me!"
Xu Huang was originally transferred here from the capital and respected Mo Li very much. Naturally, he also knew some rumors about the relationship between Mo Li and the Demon King.
Now that I see Zhuo Yang personally coming here to help and actively asking to retreat to fight outside the war, my heart is naturally filled with admiration.
"Sir, please don't misunderstand me. Since you are someone the Crown Princess can trust, Xu Huang can naturally trust her too!" Xu Huang picked up his robe and knelt down on one knee. "From today on, Mr. Zhuo is the commander-in-chief, and the general will obey you absolutely!"
Zhuoyang took a step forward and helped him up with his own hands, "With the general's trust, Zhuoyang will definitely defeat Ulan's army as soon as possible this time, rush to the north in time to join Li Moli, and fight with all his strength against the temple!"
Xu Huang stood up, looked into his eyes, and nodded solemnly, "Xu Huang is honored to be able to fight alongside you!"
=================================
The next day.
When the sun set in the west, Mo Li and his party had finally arrived near Chuzhou City.
"Open the city gate!"
On the city wall, Nangong Xiao ordered in a deep voice.
The city gate slowly opened, and after a moment, the two men slowly walked out of the city gate, picked up their robes and knelt on one knee under the official road.
Behind them, several lieutenants knelt on the ground.
Outside the city gate, the army was approaching.
Looking at the people on the official road from a distance, Mo Li raised his eyebrows from the running thunder beast and landed in front of Nangong Xiao and Cang Shanxue.
"You two, what are you doing?!"
Nangong Xiao lowered his face, "My subordinate failed to defend Qinzhou, please punish me!"
"The responsibility is mine, Master, just punish me!" Cang Shanxue said urgently.
