Chapter 413 The Feudal Warlord Who Sucks the Essence and Abstinence 037
The gilded fire burned all night long...the gunshots in Yunzhou City also rang out until dawn.
The next day, when Xu Yunqian followed a few people who led the team and rushed to Liujin... Liujin and several surrounding buildings had turned into ruins.
The thick smoke was still billowing, and Xu Yunqian looked pale and looked dazed.
He saw Sister Hong in the crowd and immediately stepped forward to grab her. His mouth moved, but he couldn't say a word.
Sister Hong met his eyes, trembled, and shook her head.
Xu Yunqian fell to the ground...
That night, Xu Zhengqing led the guards to completely drive away the pirates... By dawn, the pirates had launched a total of four attacks, but were beaten back again and again, each time more embarrassing than the last.
"Commander, the defense on the left wing is tight and there is a serious shortage of troops."
Xu Zhengqing's face was expressionless: "Move over the guards on the front."
The subordinate's expression changed drastically: "Commander, then the command headquarters will have no defense at all..."
Xu Zhengqing said coldly: "They don't have the extra troops to attack the central part. They need to pass on the order and execute it immediately."
The subordinates gritted their teeth and turned around to deliver the order. Soon, the central combat force was transferred to the left wing... The entire command headquarters had completely lost its protection.
The general of the new army stood aside and said nothing.
There can only be one voice in the army. Since he chose to hand over the command to Xu Zhengqing, it will fully support his every decision.
The general knew that although this young warlord was conservative, he had attended a military academy and had good military theory and commanding abilities.
Soon, there was gunfire and artillery fire... This time the pirates were obviously more crazy.
Dying madness...
An hour later, the sky became brighter and the sound of artillery fire subsided.
Most of the pirates were wiped out, leaving only a small group fleeing in embarrassment, without the strength to counterattack.
The battlefield was filled with smoke, and the soldiers fell into silence after cheering, silently collecting the corpses of their comrades.
Xu Zhengqing's face was black and gray. He had not slept well for a few days, his eyes were bloodshot, and his chest was feeling tight and aching.
Last night, a shell exploded at the command post, and he was thrown out by the air wave. He must have suffered some internal injuries.
I had been too focused on the stalemate in the battle before and didn't notice it. Now that I sat down, I could feel the sweet and fishy blood rising in my throat.
He stretched out his hand and pressed it, but found no broken ribs, and breathed a sigh of relief...
At this moment, adjutant Ma Shuo walked in from outside.
Xu Zhengqing was slightly startled, then frowned: "Why are you here? Weren't you asked to guard Miss Biao in Yunzhou?"
When he saw Ma Shuo raising his head and his eyes were red, Xu Zhengqing's expression changed instantly.
He stood up quickly: "What happened?"
Ma Shuo knelt down, his throat choked with sobs: "Commander, Yunzhou was attacked by pirates. The city gate was blown down and the pirates entered the city. In order to protect the civilians, Miss Sheng... was captured by the pirates."
Xu Zhengqing froze instantly, and his mind went blank for a moment.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "When did it happen?"
Ma Shuo pursed his lips: "The evening before yesterday..."
Before he finished speaking, he was kicked to the ground by Xu Zhengqing...
"I asked you to protect her...how did you protect her?"
Xu Zhengqing's eyes were red: "The evening before yesterday...you didn't tell me until now...you deserve to die!"
Xu Zhengqing quickly drew his gun, and Ma Shuo knelt on the ground with his head bowed silently. When the new army general came in and saw this scene, he was shocked: "Xu Shuai, what happened?"
It was also at this moment that Xu Zhengqing suddenly came back to his senses.
The evening before yesterday... But he clearly contacted Yunzhou the night before yesterday. At that time...
Ma Shuo knelt there and said in a hoarse voice: "Ms. Sheng asked us to hide this from you. We don't want you to be distracted. She said that victory or defeat depends on the commander's battle. She also said that the lightness of one person is the lightness of Yunzhou...
The compatriots of the country are all important, and there should be choices... Commander, my subordinates are ashamed of their entrustment to the Commander-in-Chief, and are willing to die to apologize!"
Xu Zhengqing, on the other hand, was already frozen there... The next moment, he turned around and strode outside.
Ma Shuo was suddenly startled and quickly chased after him.
The general of the New Army also realized something and immediately followed him out: "Thanks to Xu Shuai, Yunzhou is in trouble this time, and the New Army is obliged to do so... Can Xu Shuai count the officers and soldiers of the New Army and go back to Yunzhou together..."
After a while, several troop carriers suddenly drove away, heading towards Yunzhou City...
In Yunzhou City, a group of workers were silently repairing the city gate.
A few days ago, Yunzhou City was still in a state of chaos. In just a few days... people seemed to wake up suddenly from a beautiful dream.
The pirates' weapons and firepower and their narrow escape from the disaster left everyone in silence. The feeling of surviving the disaster.
Especially since they all already know why Yunzhou was able to be saved by the pirate cavalry at the minimum cost this time.
Several wrecks were found in the yard where the pirates parked their artillery...it was even impossible to tell who they were.
There were also corpses of pirates and city guards on the streets.
Even if it was an ambush, because the pirates' weapons were so advanced, street fighting was very difficult... The defenders annihilated the pirates, but they also suffered heavy losses.
And the gilded flames soaring into the sky...
That day, a woman wearing a smoky blue cheongsam appeared on the long street, protected the city defenders and the people, and led the pirates into Gilding... Then, neither she nor the pirates came out.
The officers of the pirates were all killed in the flames that filled the sky. It was also because of this that the pirates who lost unified command were defeated one by one and annihilated.
They also knew that on the front line, Xu Shuai and the defenders who had joined forces with the new army had achieved victory and had driven away all the invading pirates.
Xu Shuai protected everyone, but the huge Yunzhou City... failed to protect his lover...
In the evening, the roar of cars came.
Seeing the familiar sign on the troop carrier, everyone stopped at the city gate... The guard immediately opened the city gate after confirmation. Everyone watched in silence as the leading car drove into the city with a bang, heading towards the gilded direction.
.
Sitting in the car, Xu Zhengqing felt as if he was trapped in a nightmare, full of unreality.
It must be fake, impossible, definitely not.
But the next moment, the driver screamed and stepped on the brakes... Then Xu Zhengqing saw the burned ruins on the street ahead.
Many people are moving the rubble...
Xu Zhengqing's already pale face suddenly lost all color. He opened the car door and jumped out of the car. When he landed, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Xu Yunqian had already heard the news and came over. Seeing his eldest brother who had never been so embarrassed, he quickly came up to him and wanted to help: "Brother..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhengqing pulled him to his eyes.
"Where's Sheng Nuan?"
Xu Zhengqing's voice was hoarse: "Where is she?"
Xu Yunqian's expression froze, and he almost didn't dare to look at his brother... The next moment, he finally clenched his fists and pursed his lips before speaking, his tone of voice extremely harsh.
"The fire was so intense that the bodies... were all turned into charcoal, making it impossible to distinguish..."
Xu Zhengqing froze instantly.
Xu Yunqian's eyes were full of pain and worry. He could only grit his teeth and try to comfort him: "Brother, Sister Hong said that Sheng Nuan was not humiliated and she... was not tortured..."
But before he finished speaking, he saw his eldest brother's body shaking.
Xu Zhengqing vomited out a mouthful of blood, and then vomited out several more mouthfuls of blood...and then collapsed...
Xu Yunqian was shocked: "Brother, brother...come quickly, find a doctor, come quickly!"
Everyone was struggling to lift Xu Zhengqing up, but Xu Zhengqing was staring at the ruins with his eyes red and veins on his forehead exposed.
"Sheng Nuan..."
She is so delicate, how scared she must be when she is caught in the sea of fire...
Isn't it good for her to treat her as her own? Why should she care about the interests of her family and country and him?
