Chapter 3119 Retreat
Upon hearing his words, Zhu Chengjin and the others were stunned.
Guo Mi and the others reacted quickly and immediately said to Zhu Chengjin, "Yes, sir, the situation is hopeless now. Let's leave quickly!"
"Walk……?"
For the first time, a look of confusion flashed across Zhu Chengjin's eyes.
Perhaps, he never thought from the beginning to the end that he would experience the situation of "the game is over" again.
It was just like when Zhu Feng launched the Jingnan Campaign and marched south to capture Jinling City, but tonight was different. Tonight he was outside Jinling City, on the surging river, surrounded by fire again. And this time, Nan Yan was not waiting for the verdict of fate in the Jiaotai Hall, but was by his side.
Seeing Zhu Chengjin's dazed look, she said coldly: "Yes, if you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave."
“…”
Hearing this, Zhu Chengjin felt like he was hit hard in the chest.
He glanced at Nan Yan, then looked up at the shore. At this time, all the bandits and his soldiers on the shore had knelt down and surrendered. The only few who resisted stubbornly had been killed by Xu Shifeng's sword. The strong smell of blood wafted from the shore, and the surrounding fires burned with a nauseating hot feeling.
Behind them, Jinling City might have been taken down long ago.
Zhu Chengjin murmured, "Is the situation over? I, I'm leaving again?"
Guo Mi and the others said anxiously, "Master, hurry up and leave! It will be too late if you don't leave now!"
As he was speaking, a scream was heard from the stern. Several boatmen were pushing the burning fireboats away with bamboo poles. One of the boatmen lost his balance and fell off the boat, landing on the small boat below. His whole body was immediately engulfed in flames. He screamed and jumped into the river, his life or death unknown.
Lu Guangwei and the others all said, "Young Master, let's go!"
"Yes, sir, let's retreat quickly while we still have men and horses, and make a comeback in the future!"
"If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave!"
After listening to their words, Zhu Chengjin turned around and looked at the several ships that were still following the big ship. There were indeed some people on them, and they had not been caught by the fireships. If they didn't leave, even if the people here were not burned to death by the fire, they would be captured by Xu Shifeng's men on the shore.
By that time, there will really be nothing left.
At this moment, not far away on the river, the big ship on the other side saw that the fire on the surrounding small boats was about to burn them, so it immediately turned its bow and headed to the other side.
That big ship was the one from Xingluo Lake.
When they crossed the river before, Li Chen and Fang Zhen were both on the boat. However, when they went ashore to fight, Fang Zhen took the lead and led his men off the boat, but Li Chen remained on the boat.
Although he was unwilling to see Fang Zhen's tragic death, he also knew that it was difficult to reverse the situation.
So, he immediately summoned the remaining troops and turned the boat around, apparently preparing to head to Xingluo Lake.
Zhu Chengjin gritted his teeth and immediately said, "Retreat!"
Upon hearing his order, Guo Mi and Lu Guangwei were overjoyed and hurriedly instructed the boatmen below: "Turn around quickly and catch up with them!"
On the shore, Xu Shifeng had already taken everyone away.
When I looked up, I saw the large ships in the firelight, carrying dozens of remaining small boats away from the waters.
At this time, Chen Xuan came up.
"General Xu,"
Chen Xuan stared at the conspicuous figure on the large ship, who was obviously the Imperial Concubine Si Nanyan. "Should we catch up?"
