C138 (1/2)
”Lord General, quickly retreat towards the North Gate.”
Faced with the xanthopanax soldiers who retreated like floodwaters, Bu Yi's personal guards immediately reminded them. These soldiers were like frightened birds, they no longer had the will to fight, and it was impossible for them to organize another counterattack, Bu Yi nodded and gave the order to his Generals.
”Everyone, retreat back to the North Gate. Prepare to break out from its encirclement.”
Jumping on top of the horses brought over by the janissaries, Bu Yi turned back to look at the walls of South of the City, only to see that the walls were already filled with army, and the Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves who did not have time to run had either surrendered or jumped down from the wall, and the xanthopanax's flag had already been stepped on by the officers and soldiers.
”Quickly retreat!”
The soldiers who were guarding the South of the City gates ran down the city wall in a fluster. They did not care about gathering as they rushed forward in a flurry, unable to find generals or soldiers. They swarmed towards the North Gate like a swarm of bees. Some of the soldiers even squeezed out their weapons and ran forward empty-handed.
When they had just run into the Puyang City, the soldiers who had retreated from the East Gate and the west gate had also arrived. The ten ten thousand people s immediately squeezed together, shouting and cursing at the same time.
”Make way, make way, make way for Lord General.”
Only the Generals with his personal guards leading the way, brandished their whips and kept hitting Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves's body, some even pulled out big blades, and finally opened up a path for the Generals s to run towards the North Gate.
”Lord General, the Puyang is already lost, we should break out immediately.”
Just then, Bu Yi had already reached the north city wall, and was standing with Bian Xi in the distance, looking outside of North Gate, their expressions extremely gloomy. Just at this time, Li Shuang arrived. He panted heavily as he ran to Bu Yi's side, but before he could reach, he shouted that he was going to break out. He did not dare stay for a moment longer.
”Break out?” Where do you want to break through? ”
Li Shuang looked out of the city and was immediately stunned. He saw that outside of North Gate, there was thick smoke billowing everywhere, the dust was flying everywhere. Vaguely, troops of cavalry stood still in the field, the swords in their hands raised up high. The shining edge of the blade reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, reflecting on the walls of the Puyang, which were like rows and rows of white ice walls. Silver armor and a forest of white sabers interweaved to form a frightening scene, causing one to feel as if their breathing was going to cause a thunderous impact.
”Lord General, the three gates are already lost, if you still do not break out, don't tell me you want to wait here for your death?”
”Is Liu Qing here?”
Bu Yi ignored the anxious Li Shuang and asked the janissaries anxiously. At this critical moment, he did not want to leave behind an important general. To break through the siege of the cavalry, it was necessary for everyone to work together.
”Lord General, I'm here.”
Just as he was speaking with Liu Qing, he heard his shout. They only saw Liu Qing bringing his handicapped veterans to the North Gate. With a wave of his hand, a few generals walked down from the city wall. At this time, underneath the North Gate, the soldiers were squeezing out their thoughts while staring at Bu Yi, waiting for his order to open the city gate.
”Bian Xi, lead your subordinates and head out of the city towards the east. Li Shuang, you follow closely behind. Liu Qing, you will be the last to leave the city.
”Understood.”
”Open the gates and head out.”
The closed North Gate finally opened up. In an instant, the waiting Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves were like a flood that had opened its floodgates. They all crowded around each other and surged outwards, ignoring everything else as they ran with all their might towards their lives and towards the vast wilderness under the setting sun.
Bu Yi and Bian Xi immediately rushed out of the city. Li Shuang and Liu Qing followed closely behind, gathering all of the riders and guards together. Only now did they realize that many of the xanthopanax's soldiers did not even have weapons. They wanted to be angry, but when they heard the shouts of the officials and soldiers of North Gate, they no longer cared. With a shout, they ran towards the east.
”Kill …”
When Pan Feng, Yu She and her army reached the North Gate, there were still over thirty thousand xanthopanax waiting to leave the city. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the xanthopanax soldiers that did not leave the city obediently threw away their weapons and kneeled on the ground to surrender.
Bu Yi led the xanthopanax and ran out for a distance of five kilometers in one breath. Surprisingly, they did not encounter any obstructions, as there was only the thick smoke of orange sticks burning everywhere. He ordered the Generals to count the troops, only to realize that they had suffered heavy losses. There were more than 120,000 xanthopanax, and there were less than 60,000 now.
”Kill …”
Before Bu Yi could catch his breath, he suddenly heard the sounds of killing coming from all directions. A squadron of cavalrymen suddenly appeared in the vast wilderness, countless big swords illuminated the sunset, causing Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves's eyes to be confused. The galloping horses raised a billowing dust cloud and swept it towards Bu Yi's army.
At the very front of the cavalry, a green dragon crescent moon blade was shining in the sunset. A tall and sturdy general roared at the sky, and in an instant, a thunderclap sounded from the vast earth, the roar pierced through the sky and pierced through the clouds, causing Bu Yi's heart to tremble.
”With Guan Yu here, the ones who surrender must escape death!”
Bu Yi finally understood that the thick smoke and dust on the ground were not just bluffing. A large number of soldiers were hiding inside. Bu Yi made up his mind. Either you die today, or your net will be broken.
”Li Shuang, lead the team to meet the enemy.”
”Understood.”
A wave of killing intent soared to the skies from Li Shuang's chest, his eyes immediately emitting threads of cold glare. He waved the large blade in his hand, and his soldiers gathered behind him. They raised their heads to look at the smoke and dust that filled the sky, and let out a long howl towards the sky.
