However, Xia Mo and others did not disappoint Lu Ping.
They really held on for two days, and even Tang Qi held on for two days on her own.
And just as Lu Ping expected, they fulfilled their wishes.
Because the other lords couldn't hold out for two days.
Seeing that the mission was completed, Xia Mo and the other three did not hesitate and immediately teleported the remaining soldiers and generals to Lu Ping, and voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield of various nations.
As a result, Lu Ping recovered 700,000 soldiers and 6,000 generals, and Li Jing and four others also returned safely.
With the departure of Xia Mo and the other three, Lu Ping was the only one still holding on in the entire battlefield of various nations.
At this time, there were only two days left before the closure of the International Battlefield.
"Husband, let's retreat to the palace." Yun Yao suggested.
"Um."
Lu Ping nodded and immediately ordered a retreat to the palace.
Upon receiving the order, nearly 900,000 soldiers immediately retreated in an orderly manner and redeployed their forces.
However, during the retreat, the tens of thousands of soldiers responsible for the rear guard were inevitably wiped out.
A large number of monsters quickly occupied the city walls and then poured into the city.
In less than ten minutes, the city was filled with densely packed monsters.
Without any pause, they quickly attacked the palace.
"Crossbowmen, prepare!"
Lu Ping shouted.
In an instant, the archers on the city wall drew their bows and arrows and started shooting at the herd of beasts.
In an instant, rounds of arrows flew out, killing a large number of monsters to the ground.
But there were too many monsters, and arrows alone could not stop their attack, and they quickly rushed to the city.
"kill…"
"Puff, puff."
"roar……"
The next second, the two sides fought each other.
Suddenly, screams and roars were heard everywhere.
Every second, a large number of soldiers or monsters die.
Blood gathered into rivers inside and outside the city walls.
Lu Ping stood on the city wall and gave orders calmly.
After this period of training, he has been able to control the situation well.
..........
Time passed, and half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
The battle between the two sides continued, and there were layers of corpses inside and outside the palace walls, almost as high as the top of the city walls.
Lu Ping's soldiers were also being consumed at an extremely fast rate, and in half a day, the number of soldiers killed had reached 200,000.
But the herd showed no signs of decreasing.
It’s not that Lu Ping killed fewer people, but the number of kills was just a drop in the bucket compared to the total number.
Lu Ping then personally took to the battlefield, and so did the three Yun Yao girls and the four Xi Shis.
But Lu Ping and his men were not gods. After two hours of fierce fighting, they were exhausted and had to retreat.
"Husband, let's set fire to the city." After retreating, Yun Yao said breathlessly.
"Um."
"Li Jing, prepare to set fire." Lu Ping nodded and then gave the order.
"I obey your command."
Li Jing accepted the order and turned to leave.
Soon, soldiers came to the square carrying barrels of kerosene, and the archers then lit their arrows.
The kerosene was found in the palace armory, there were hundreds of cylinders.
Lu Ping kept a few jars and scattered the rest to every corner of the imperial city.
"Archers, get ready, shoot." Li Jing shouted.
call out…
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Suddenly, countless rockets poured out and shot in all directions of the imperial city.
Rumble…
The rocket fell and ignited the kerosene.
In an instant, a raging fire broke out in the imperial city.
The beasts were attacked by the sea of fire, and they howled in pain and fled frantically.
But the city is so densely packed with monsters that it is difficult to turn around, so how can they escape?
"Wow..."
Immediately afterwards, shrill wails echoed throughout the city.
Of course, he couldn't let himself be burned when setting fire to the city, so Lu Ping had already set up a 200-meter isolation zone along the palace wall.
All buildings and flammable materials within the exclusion zone were razed to the ground.
But Lu Ping still underestimated the power of fire, two hundred meters was still too close.
The scorching heat hit Lu Ping's face, burning it so much that it hurt.
Lu Ping hurriedly ordered to evacuate the city wall and move backward.
The intense flames produced not only high temperatures but also thick smoke. Fortunately, Lu Ping had made preparations and distributed cotton cloth and towels to each soldier, asking them to cover their noses with wet cloth to avoid inhaling poisonous gases.
Even so, some soldiers couldn't help but choke and cough.
There were also monsters in the quarantine zone. After the initial chaos, they jumped over the city walls and rushed into the palace.
Fortunately, there were not many of them, and Lu Ping eliminated them all in less than ten minutes.
"call...."
After clearing out these monsters, Lu Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
The fire had been burning for more than twenty minutes. Monsters are afraid of fire, especially low-level monsters. By now, the monsters in the city would have probably been turned into charcoal.
And judging from the situation, the fire will not be put out in a short time.
As long as the fire is not extinguished, the beasts outside the city will naturally not dare to rush in.
In this way, Lu Ping could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Pass the order down, let the soldiers take the time to eat and rest and get enough strength." Lu Ping ordered.
"promise."
The generals took the order and left.
"Husband, drink some water."
A moment later, Yun Yao handed Lu Ping a glass of water.
"Are you tired?" Lu Ping took the water and took a sip, then asked with a smile.
"I'm not tired. With my husband here, I don't feel tired at all."
While speaking, Yun Yao gently massaged Lu Ping's shoulders.
"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Ping sighed.
"Look at what my husband said. We are not weak women." Yue Yao said coquettishly.
"Um."
"How long do you think this fire will last?" Lu Ping nodded and asked.
"It looks like it will be fine if it burns for three to five days." Yun Yao replied.
"Three to five days? Doesn't that mean we don't have to fight anymore?" Xishi said in surprise.
"I think so." Yun Yao nodded.
"Well, even if this fire can't burn for three days, it can at least burn for one day."
"We only have a day and a half left, so we probably don't need to fight." Lu Ping nodded.
“That’s wonderful.”
The women all breathed a sigh of relief.
"But we can't be careless. We need to rearrange the soldiers and be ready to respond to the enemy at any time," said Lu Ping.
"Okay." The women nodded.
Afterwards, Lu Ping reorganized the remaining soldiers and generals.
After counting, Lu Ping currently has 380,000 soldiers and 3,900 generals left.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ping divided them into two teams, one led by Li Jing and Bai Qi, and the other led by Yue Fei and Huo Qubing.
After completing the arrangements, Lu Ping ordered Li Jing and several others to be responsible for the defense, and then went to the palace to rest.
After a month of fierce fighting, Lu Ping and others were very tired and needed a good rest.
It is evening now. If we can hold on for another twenty-four hours, until eight o'clock tomorrow night, this war will be over.
At night.
The fire was still burning fiercely, and the fire was so fierce that it even turned half the sky red.
The air was filled with a pungent smell that made people feel nauseous.
But Lu Ping and others still slept soundly.
