Chapter 152 Two Standing People
Shen Yuexi watched in despair as fires broke out everywhere on the platform, thick smoke rose everywhere, and Dayan soldiers evacuated one after another.
They had no way to extinguish the flames immediately. If they were still standing on the platform, they would either be burned to death by the fire or the thick smoke, or they would fall from the air and fall to death after the platform burned down. They had no choice but to retreat.
But Xirong on the opposite side did not have this worry. When the city wall lost the protection of the Yan army, they could easily occupy the city wall.
"Mother, cough... we lost," Yang Cong grabbed her arm, covered her mouth, and walked through a cloud of thick smoke, "Let's run quickly, or we will die if we don't run."
Qiu Liming rushed over with smoke and fire, holding a knife in one hand, his face was so smoked that the original color could not be seen, and shouted to Shen Yuexi:
"Mother, I am finally incompetent and can no longer defend this place."
Shen Yuexi waved her hand and said: "General Qiu, don't blame yourself, let everyone retreat quickly!"
Hundreds of Yan troops passed by her and retreated hastily southward along the road. Shen Yuexi, Yang Cong, and Qiu Liming got on their horses together and turned their horses' heads to the south.
Fortunately, Big Bear had built such a wide and flat road before. If it had been a winding path like before, it is estimated that so many Yan troops were crowded in the path and could not run. How many people would have been trampled to death.
Shen Yuexi wanted to urge the horse to go, but looked back at the city wall with some reluctance.
Through the blazing flames and the choking smoke, she saw more and more Xirong soldiers appearing on the city wall, standing densely all over the city wall, holding the Xirong flag and cheering in victory.
Fortunately, all the ladders used to get down to the ground were on fire. They were unable to pursue them for a while, and the surviving Yan army was able to retreat.
This battle has been lost and the city wall has been lost. Then the Xirong army can march straight in and head towards Xiaogang Village.
There is no possibility to restore the victory, even Xiao Zhuo can't do anything here.
Unless there is a miracle.
But what if the universal manufacturing machine is turned on? Although the universal manufacturing machine can destroy the weapons of the Xirong Army, it needs to be within a five-meter range.
Not only five meters away, but even fifty meters away, Xirong's sharpshooter would have shot her into a sieve.
"Mistress, let's go quickly!" Qiu Liming shouted hurriedly to her while circling his horse not far away.
Just as Shen Yuexi was about to reply, several war horses galloped towards them from a distance, led by a man in black with flying clothes. He wore that scary metal mask on his face.
"Prince Mei, why are you here?" Shen Yuexi recognized the person and shouted.
Mepu rushed to her, reined in his horse, and a rapid voice came from behind the mask: "Miss Shen, the situation is over. I'm here... to protect you, follow me..."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Cong had already inserted his horse between the two of them, blocking his gaze from Shen Yuexi. At the same time, he bent down and grabbed a shield from the sergeant next to him, blocked it in front of Shen Yuexi, and shouted:
"Don't look!"
Shen Yuexi almost fainted.
Yang Cong, this girl, has still not forgotten Xiao Zhuo's instructions even at this time.
But at that moment, she noticed Maple's eyes looking at her, and there seemed to be something in those deep eyes that she couldn't understand.
Yang Cong scolded Mapu there:
"Your Highness, my lord has given orders that you are not allowed to meet with your mistress. Why are you so reckless and rush over here?"
"Yes, that's what Miss Yang taught you."
"Ah...and one more thing, don't call her 'Miss Shen', call her 'Mrs. Shen'!"
"Yes, I was too anxious and made a slip of the tongue."
Shen Yuexi patted the shield and said to Yang Cong: "Yang Cong, now is not the time to care about these things. Let's retreat together with Prince Mei."
Yang Cong still held up his shield: "Let him go first, and we will follow behind."
Everyone was making a fuss when suddenly a horn sound came from behind.
Shen Yuexi had just heard this horn sound yesterday. It was the horn sound of the Xirong Army withdrawing its troops.
Withdraw troops? The Xirong Army actually wants to withdraw troops?
She reined in her mount and looked back.
Not only her, but the surrounding Sergeants Dayan, as well as Mei Pu, Qiu Liming and Yang Cong all turned around and looked at the city wall with surprised expressions.
The Xirong people on the city wall disappeared without knowing when.
This is impossible.
Shen Yuexi quickly rubbed her eyes to make sure that her eyes were not blurred by the thick smoke just now.
Yes, the Xirong army on the city wall is indeed gone, and even the Xirong army flag that was set up just now is gone. There is no trace of the Xirong army in the city.
"General Qiu," Shen Yuexi shouted to Qiu Liming, "did I hear correctly, the horn sound just now..."
"It's the horn sound of withdrawing the troops." Qiu Liming replied, "The mistress heard it right. It's just too strange. They have already occupied the city wall, why should they withdraw their troops?"
Shen Yuexi was surprised at first, and then her heart palpitated.
This feeling does not come from thinking or analysis, but from the intuition that only women have. It seems that something she has been longing for and longed for in the depths of her soul has surfaced on the surface of the ocean of consciousness.
"It's your husband!" She shouted in surprise, turned her horse around, and ran towards the city wall.
Map shouted: "This is impossible!"
"How is that possible!" Qiu Liming shouted in disbelief, turning his horse around and following Shen Yuexi, "Mother, it can't be the lord. This is probably a trick by the Xirong people. Let's retreat."
"No," Shen Yuexi shouted, "I know, he is back."
Yang Cong was so frightened that he shouted to Shen Yuexi: "Mother, we managed to escape with great difficulty, you want to go back?"
Shen Yuexi didn't answer, and galloped forward without hesitation.
Mapu called out "Miss Shen" and chased after her.
The sergeant who followed him panicked and shouted: "His Royal Highness, you can't go to the front! Xiliang Army, protect the Crown Prince quickly!"
There were soldiers from Xiliang among the surrounding troops, so they immediately rushed out of the crowd and followed behind.
"Hey, don't chase my mistress!" Yang Cong held up his shield and followed Maple.
Qiu Liming chased and shouted: "Iron-faced army, follow me quickly to protect the mistress."
The five hundred iron-faced troops were not panicked remnants to begin with. They had been pressing at the rear of the retreating Yan army to prevent the Xirong army from pursuing them. Now they saw Shen Yuexi galloping past them on horseback. Without waiting for Qiu Liming's instructions, they all followed The moon is sinking.
Shen Yuexi rushed into the city, jumped off the horse, covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves and looked around.
The entire city was extremely wide, and although there were fires everywhere, it was not impossible to walk along. But the thick smoke blown by the wind made her cry. She opened her eyes wide and searched hard, and finally found a platform that was not burning.
She walked around several burning shelves and ran onto the platform.
"Miss Shen...Mrs. Shen, it's dangerous!" Mipu followed her and shouted eagerly. However, his legs and feet were not so agile and he could not keep up with Shen Yuexi for a while.
Yang Cong caught up with Ma Pu in a few steps and stretched out his shield in front of him: "Your Highness, you are not allowed to come so close!"
"You guys, look!" Shen Yuexi shouted in surprise, "Come up and have a look!"
Hearing Shen Yuexi's shouts of surprise, everyone didn't know what was going on and didn't care about the entanglement. They ran onto the platform one after another.
Standing on the high platform and looking to the north, thousands of Xirong soldiers knelt on one knee on the plain toward the camp, placing their shields and swords on the ground, and placing their hands reverently on their heads. Even those captains There were no exceptions. There were only dozens of Xirong flags fluttering in the cold wind.
Everyone was facing the two people outside the camp gate. Only these two people were standing.
Shen Yuexi wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and sobbed: "You... still came."
Qiu Liming looked at the two people standing in the distance and was so excited that he stuttered: "The Lord... is the Lord!"
"Who is the other one?" Yang Cong asked excitedly.
"The enemy who invaded my Xiliang city, the sworn enemy that I will never forget," Mapu clenched his fist, "King Doma!"
