In Zhuge Liang's view, the morale of the army today was much stronger than when it first fought against the Jiangdong people.
This is the key to winning…
As soon as the city gate is opened, all worries will disappear.
But Zhuge Liang did not dare to relax.
"The ordered archers fired arrows into the city to suppress the enemy forces on the city wall and its outer city!"
"Here!"
The order was conveyed again, but before the Qingqi who conveyed the order had gone far, Zhuge Liang accidentally raised his eyes and saw a fire arrow piercing the sky in the southwest.
"That is…"
It doesn’t matter what it is…
Because at the same moment, behind the army, there was also a fast horse, carrying a pair of worn-out armor - this was a person, but this person was lying on the horse. If it weren't for the armor that was still attached, it seemed that this person would have died.
Fell down.
The horse's mouth was filled with white foam, and every time it ran, it would spit saliva everywhere.
But even so...the horse is still running, and the armor has not fallen off.
Until someone in the rear army discovered the situation and quickly went to respond. Without waiting to help the man in the armor, he just raised his head with difficulty... glanced at the military uniform in front of him, and then slipped off his horse——
The horse fell. The moment he dismounted, he seemed to have exhausted the last bit of strength in his life and fell to the ground without any hesitation.
The man in the armor, with his head hanging down, knelt on the ground and took out a shabby letter from his arms.
"To...strategist..."
The surprised soldier quickly took the letter, but could no longer lift the withered hand of the man in the armor——
At this moment, the soldier who received the letter felt as if he had been electrocuted. He did not know what the content of the letter was.
But his body seemed to have received that desperate signal. Even though his legs suddenly shook uncontrollably, it still drove him to roll and crawl towards the front army.
Yes, everything is ready.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang and Yi Xiaotian were doing similar but different things.
They also received things from afar, but Yi Xiaotian was happy and Zhuge Liang was worried——
"Quick! Escort these two people to the city wall!"
"Quick! Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
"Wha...what?"
This surprise came from a certain lieutenant beside Zhuge Liang, and his reaction basically represented the performance of everyone present who heard Zhuge Liang's anxious cry.
"I told Ming Jin to withdraw his troops! We won't fight this battle! Go back to Jingnan! No..."
Zhuge Liang's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression could not be said to be frightened, but it definitely could not be called calm.
even…
There was even a thin layer of mist faintly visible in his eyes.
This...what the hell happened?
——
Lu Xun moved very quickly.
There is a tunnel leading to the outside of Piling City. It is not long, but the exit is at the side and rear of the frontal battlefield.
He led a group of people and quickly walked out of the city through the tunnel, without stopping for a moment, and rushed to the high slope that seemed to only contain rocks and loess.
At this moment, even he could not conceal his excitement.
That's a chariot.
In his eyes, the chariot represents invincibility...
After several days of torture, Yi Xiaotian finally issued the order he wanted to hear most...
"Move faster!"
Lu Xun urged, in fact, everyone was fast enough... They were not real soldiers, many of them were craftsmen from the workshops brought by Yi Xiaotian.
I don’t know how long it took, but as the first person stopped, everyone stopped.
In the dim tunnel, everyone's breathing was extremely clear.
"Found it! The door is about to open!"
The person in the lead quickly groped in the darkness, and then there was a shout.
The light... appeared from the narrow passage, illuminating everyone's excited and nervous faces as soon as it appeared.
"Quick! Don't delay the opportunity to fight. Stay with your own team. The next battle is our most critical battle! Everything... cannot be lost!"
Lu Xun's blood was mobilized, and the moment he walked out of the secret passage, he quickly shouted to the people around him.
clang--
clang--
However, just as everyone jumped out, the sound of golden gongs suddenly echoed in the flat wilderness.
In fact, not only Lu Xun and others were stunned, the entire battlefield, including every Liu Bei army soldier who was fighting fiercely with the Jiangdong people on the city wall, experienced some shock.
Because of this sudden realization, some people were targeted by their opponents, and many were injured and killed in one blow.
But... how could this compare to the shock of the sound they heard?
"How can this be?
There must be a mistake... there must be a mistake!"
"No retreat! No retreat! The city wall... we are about to take it!"
Chen Dao roared a little madly, because at this moment, the enemy's counterattack had already begun...but...but the feet of the soldiers around him seemed to be filled with lead. Not only did they not take another step forward, but they
Signs of retreat.
He really collapsed and once suspected that this was a trick of the enemy... But...
clang--
clang--
This sound will never be wrong again.
Chen Dao personally heard the sound of the gong coming from behind.
So no matter how confused or unwilling I am...
"The whole army retreats! Hurry up and retreat! The front army will follow me to cover the retreat of the army!"
When he shouted these words, Chen Dao's heart was bleeding.
——
Lu Meng and Zhu Ran were the same. In fact, when they heard the sound of gold on the battlefield, they couldn't believe it.
Moreover... Lu Xun had just given them the news that the chariot was about to appear on the stage of history for the first time... They just needed to help Lu Xun delay for a while, and it seemed that they would be able to see Liu Bei's army being smashed into pieces by the chariot.
scene.
Can…
What's going on?
Following Chen Dao's shout, Liu Bei's army immediately began to retreat - which made Zhu Ran suspicious:
"Could it be...has our tank been discovered by our opponent?"
"impossible!"
Lu Meng immediately denied it.
He slashed down a Liu Bei Army soldier who was trying to escape, and there were even more blood stains on his face... which made his expression look extremely ferocious.
But... even though he denied it, he still couldn't figure out what Liu Beijun was doing.
I could only issue the order to pursue based on my experience:
"No matter what, since the other party is retreating, we must delay their steps!"
"As long as Boyan and his chariots arrive, the victory of this battle will definitely belong to us!"
Lu Meng gritted his teeth and said to Zhu Ran beside him.
Zhu Ran naturally agreed.
But at this moment, the sound of rushing carriages suddenly came to mind on the streets of the inner city——
It's Yi Xiaotian here.
Even Yi Xiaotian heard the long-lasting sound of ringing gold while the carriage was moving.
He was still confused at first, but when he saw Pang Tong, who was being escorted across the street and looked very embarrassed and disheveled, suddenly smiled, he understood everything.
Sure enough... Pang Tong also has a back-up plan, he is really a troublesome guy...
Although he was worried, Yi Xiaotian didn't have time to explain so much. He could only urge the carriage to go faster. He had to go to the city to see the situation in person.
