Chapter 437: Retreat from Xiliang
Yelu Yang was shocked when he heard this, "What did you say?"
The soldiers felt a little scared when Yelu Yang stared at them like this.
He swallowed hard before continuing, "Da Yong's reinforcements have arrived! Absolutely true!"
“How could it be so fast!”
Yelu Yang seemed to be asking the soldiers, but also seemed to be asking himself.
But no one was destined to be able to answer this question.
Yelu Yang was frowning and thinking when someone else ran over.
"General, the Emperor is angry! He's demanding to know when the troops will be dispatched!"
Yelu Yang glanced in the direction of Tuoba Ruoli and quickly looked away.
"Go back and tell the emperor to send troops immediately!"
After getting a definite answer, the man breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and ran away.
At least he can go back and report!
As for the rest, it's not his business to worry about.
Yelu Yang looked at the defense line of Liangcheng, and his expression gradually became firm.
"Follow my command and send out the troops!"
As the order was passed down, drums sounded.
All kinds of siege equipment were approaching the city gate.
Siege vehicles, gate-breaking vehicles, ladders, etc.
Marshal Wen and others who were talking on the city wall saw this and no longer cared to say anything else and immediately launched a counterattack.
Right now, the most important thing for them is to guard the city gate and never let the people from Xiliang attack.
They are Liangcheng's last line of defense.
If they pass through them, the people of Liangcheng will be in danger.
Hundreds of thousands of troops from Xiliang rushed forward continuously.
When someone dies, someone else will immediately take his place.
The city gate was buzzing with noises from being hit by the gate-breaking vehicles.
There would also be sudden rains of arrows and falling rocks, and people would climb up the city walls.
But before they could gain a foothold, they would be chopped down by a sword and kicked off the city wall.
Yu Youning was also fighting hard at this time.
This was not her first time killing someone, but it was the first time two armies had truly engaged in battle.
This feels completely different from simply killing someone.
She is not a murderer and she certainly won't kill someone casually.
Always look at what mistake the other person has made and whether he really deserves to die, and then decide whether to take action.
But now, no one cares whether the other party makes a mistake.
Because of their different natural positions, they must kill each other.
Still fighting with all his might, trying to kill the other party.
But soon, Yu Youning no longer had the energy to think about these things.
There is limited space on the city wall and a limited number of people it can accommodate.
In order to prevent one person from exhausting his energy, he had to be replaced every once in a while.
But the people below kept coming up, seemingly tireless and with no end in sight.
The prepared stones and torches have almost been thrown away.
If this continues, they may not be able to defend the city gate.
If we fail to defend the city gate, it will be easy to retreat step by step!
This can't go on!
While fighting, Yu Youning approached Marshal Wen.
When he arrived beside Marshal Wen, Yu Youning immediately said, "Grandfather, let me lead a group of people out from the west gate and take a detour!"
Marshal Wen looked at Yu Youning with appreciation.
Youning is indeed smart. She came up with this idea so quickly.
Feeling relieved, Marshal Wen also laughed. "I'm so lucky! If you can think of it, do you think Grandfather can't? Don't worry, I've already made arrangements with the Crown Prince. He will send people to encircle them from both sides, but it will take time for the army to get there. Calculating the time, they will definitely be here in another half a quarter of an hour."
Yu Youning's eyes lit up when he heard Marshal Wen's words.
"As expected of you, Grandfather! You actually thought of this so early! I'm relieved!"
Marshal Wen wanted to say something, but Yu Youning had already flown out and kicked down a man who had just climbed onto the city wall.
It's only half a minute, we can definitely hold on!
Before today, Yu Youning had never thought that half a quarter of an hour would be so long.
After all, reading a few pages of medical books and eating something would only take half an hour.
But now, it was only half a minute, but to Yu Youning, it felt so long.
It was so long that she felt like no time had passed.
Especially when he saw the soldiers of Dayong being injured and falling, Yu Youning felt that time was passing too slowly.
Yu Youning really wants to save those people, which comes from his nature as a doctor.
But this is not the time to cure diseases and save lives.
There are still people coming up continuously. If we don't defend it and let them cross the city wall into the city, more people will get injured.
Thinking of this, Yu Youning gritted his teeth and focused his attention on the enemy.
At this moment, someone else climbed up the city wall.
Yu Youning recognized the person out of the corner of his eye.
It was Chu Huaishan who brought his men!
When the plague broke out in Liangcheng before, Chu Huaishan chose to stay in Liangcheng to help the people who were infected with the plague to recuperate.
On the way to Liangcheng, Yu Youning was still thinking that when he met Chu Huaishan, he must ask Chu Huaishan how he had been doing during this period.
But unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived in Liangcheng, the army of Xiliang attacked, and they had no chance to find Chu Huaishan.
What Yu Youning didn't expect was that Chu Huaishan would bring people here at this time.
“Master!”
Yu Youning shouted.
Chu Huaishan smiled at Yu Youning, but soon glared at Yu Youning again.
It's already this late, and instead of focusing on fighting the enemy, she actually has the mind to talk to him!
"Don't talk! Leave the injured to us! Don't worry!"
Yu Youning nodded immediately, "Okay! Master is the best!"
As he said this, Yu Youning's heart calmed down.
Without worries at the rear, we can naturally focus on fighting the enemy!
Perhaps because I felt relieved, the time that followed seemed to pass by suddenly faster.
Soon, there was a turning point.
On both sides, many soldiers appeared and rushed towards the Xiliang soldiers.
The arrow chariot kept shooting arrows, and the arrows were burning with flames.
The burning of flames will release poisonous smoke.
All the soldiers and generals of Dayong had taken the antidote in advance, so the poisonous smoke had no effect on them and there was no need to worry about hurting others or themselves.
These poisonous fumes are only effective within a range of ten feet. If they are blown away by the wind, they will not cause any harm to the human body, and there is no need to worry about harming the people in the city.
There are not only arrow carts, but also catapults.
These cars have been improved by Xiao Muyu, and are faster and more efficient than ordinary cars.
The Xiliang army was suddenly attacked from both sides and suffered a heavy blow. It was no longer as well organized as before.
They were beginning to be too busy to take care of themselves and had no time to attack the city gate.
Taking advantage of this time, Yu Youning immediately took out a lot of antidotes and quickly passed them around, letting everyone take one.
"After eating this, you won't have to worry about the poisonous smoke!" Yu Youning said loudly.
Marshal Wen swallowed the antidote in his mouth and then shouted, "We've been suppressed and beaten for such a long time. Now, it's time for us to fight back! Everyone, rush out with me! Let's deal with these bastards from Xiliang!"
Hearing what Marshal Wen said, everyone cheered.
Marshal Wen led his men down the city gate, opened the gate and went out to fight.
Yu Youning and Huo Qingchen looked at each other, then jumped down from the city wall and rushed into the middle of the enemy.
Although they landed in the middle of the enemy, the two of them instantly cleared a vacuum zone.
The people who were standing beside them just now were all lying on the ground, unconscious.
Some died immediately, while others didn’t die but would die sooner or later.
When the people from Xiliang saw this scene, they all became alert, but they did not retreat. Instead, they wanted to attack together and win by numbers.
But they soon realized how naive their idea was.
Yu Youning and Huo Qingchen are incredibly strong.
Every time they swung their swords, they could knock down a large number of people.
Although the soldiers of Xiliang are fierce, they are not really fearless of death.
When they realized they had no chance of winning against the two men, they also began to hide.
But there are too many people around.
There are even more people who don’t know the situation.
Even if these people wanted to run, they couldn't get out because they were blocked by their own people.
Yu Youning and Huo Qingchen were like two killing gods. Anyone who approached them would be killed without a trace.
It's not just the two of them.
In the distance, Huo Qingchen, Wen Beiyao, Zhenbei Hou, and even the old Marshal Huo were all fighting ten enemies at once.
They were like wild beasts that had been trapped in a cage, and now that they were out, they began to fight back fiercely.
As time passed, the Xiliang army became extremely frightened and no longer dared to resist. They could only fight and retreat.
Seeing this situation, Yelu Yang did not want to fight anymore and announced his retreat and immediately returned to Tuoba Ruoli.
"Your Majesty, reinforcements from Dayong have arrived. We are no match for them. We should retreat first!"
Tuoba Ruoli did not look at Yelu Yang, but looked through Yelu Yang into the distance.
"emperor!"
Yelu Yang became even more anxious.
He called out twice in succession, but still got no response from Tuoba Ruoli. He was anxious and could only say, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty's safety is the most important thing right now!"
"What are you going to do?" Tuoba Ruoli finally came back to her senses and looked at Yelu Yang.
Yelu Yang didn't say anything, but just picked up Tuoba Ruoli.
"retreat!"
Yelu Yang shouted, and then he took Mop Ruoli into the carriage and drove away quickly.
The army followed behind him and was also fleeing madly, looking extremely miserable.
After Yu Youning and others chased for two miles, they stopped.
Even though he had never fought a war, Yu Youning knew that one should not pursue a desperate enemy.
Right now, they have the upper hand, and that's good!
After some rest, next time, it will be their turn to attack Baicheng!
Yu Youning looked at Huo Qingchen beside her and raised her chin towards him. "I haven't seen you for half a year. You seem to have become much stronger! Let's have a competition sometime!"
Huo Qingchen smiled, "We can have a competition! But instead of us facing each other with swords, we'll see who kills the most enemies. How about that?"
