The child pursed his lips and lowered his head, "It's all my fault. I caused the general to be injured."

"I heard from Auntie Pang that if the general was younger, he might look a bit like Dad."

"I missed my father, so I peeked at the general on his way back to the camp..."

Tears rolled down silently, the woman took a deep breath, and tried to make her voice sound steady.

She reached out and touched the child's head. "It's okay. The general is a good man and didn't blame us."

"When you grow up, you can join the army like your father did, serve the general, and serve Daliang..."

"Ok!"

The child nodded solemnly, raised his fist, and said seriously: "When the time comes, I will beat the Wusun slaves to a pulp!"

"Okay, okay..." The woman's kind voice came through the window lattice to the street.

On the streets, young men who remained in the city and militiamen who volunteered to provide support were running around delivering supplies.

But everyone has a weapon on their waist, some are axes, some are kitchen knives...

On the city wall, even though Lieutenant General Liu had made proper arrangements, there were still people climbing up the wall using the siege ladders.

But before he could stand firm, the Daliang soldiers drew their swords and sent him to the underworld to report and receive Mengpo soup.

Xie Yuheng's left eye was open as he scanned the surrounding situation.

With his finger on the trigger, Anda appeared in the crosshairs of the aiming scope.

'When the great banner is raised, the army will be united and as stable as Mount Tai.'

"If the banner falls, the army will lose its morale and will be vulnerable to a single blow."

Chen Qiu's words echoed in her mind, and she pressed her fingertips hard and pulled the trigger...

boom--

The bullet flew thousands of meters away at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.

As for Anda, the hair on his body began to stand on end not long ago, but in an instant, the feeling became more and more intense, and he decisively pulled over the guards around him.

The next moment, brain matter splattered all over his face.

At the same time, the other guards shouted loudly, "Protect the emperor——"

But how to protect it? How to protect it?

Where the enemy is or where they come from, nothing is known!

Anda didn't dare to throw away the still twitching corpse, and hid his entire upper body behind the corpse.

Xie Yuheng curled the corners of his lips slightly, lowered the crosshairs, aimed at Anda's thigh, and fired two sniper shots in quick succession.

Blood gushed out, and something even pierced through the flesh.

Anda felt pain and his pupils dilated uncontrollably.

There were timid guards who screamed, "Ghost! There is a ghost—"

Fortunately, Cheng Ge promptly ordered his personal guards to surround Anda and block him completely.

Anda looked at Chengge and squeezed out a voice from between his teeth, "Return the troops, retreat!"

Another general raised his neck and said to Anda in the crowd: "But if we call off the troops now, it will cause chaos in the army, General..."

Before he could finish his words, blood spurted out from his neck and he died instantly.

Anda's eyes were red as blood, and he ordered again, "Retreat!"

This time, no one spoke!

If it weren't for the military order that anyone who retreats would be executed immediately, the generals around him would have turned around and fled long ago.

The horn sounded to signal the troops to retreat, and the flag bearer followed suit and waved the flag to order the troops to retreat.

The attacking Wusun coalition forces: ???

I thought I had misheard, but when I looked back, I saw that my own flag-bearer was indeed waving the order to withdraw the troops.

At the same time, Xie Yuheng saw the colorful flags flying on the opposite side and pulled the trigger again.

However, the target this time is the big banner...

The soldier of the Wusun coalition army who was carrying the big banner suddenly felt something light in his hand and looked up.

——The big banner snapped and broke directly?!

The fallen flagpole hit the soldier on the head, causing another round of screams of horror.

Some of the more timid ones simply rode their horses and ran away.

Someone in the attacking army shouted, "The banner has fallen - the general is gone -"

Some unbelievers looked back and saw that the big banner in the army was nowhere to be seen, and their own camp was in chaos and was still retreating.

He panicked and started shouting, "The general is gone! The general is gone!"

The army's morale collapsed and the disease spread rapidly like a plague.

Someone looked back and was shot through the chest by an arrow from a Daliang soldier; someone stepped on the empty siege ladder and took his teammates below with him.

Everything happened so fast that Lieutenant General Liu was confused and stunned.

What's going on? What happened? Why don't I know?

Xie Yuheng put away his gun, glanced sideways, and reminded: "General, it's time to send the cavalry out of the city to pursue."

Lieutenant General Liu came back to his senses from his daze, "Yes, yes, I'll go right away, right away, I'll go in person!"

Lieutenant General Liu screamed excitedly and ran towards the horse trail like a child, tumbling his legs.

Within a moment, the rhythm of the Daliang side's drums and flags changed again, switching from defense to offense.

The city gates were wide open, and tens of thousands of cavalrymen pursued the Wusun coalition forces.

Lure someone into a trap? No, it means to capture the thief and the leader, and to pursue the victory.

The young man in red, using a sniper rifle as a crutch, stood in front of the city wall, watching the cavalry chasing the coalition forces, chopping melons and vegetables.

Her high ponytail swayed in the wind, and her tall and slender body was like a military flag that would never fall!

The passionate sound of war drums resounded throughout Yumen.

The latest military intelligence was also sent to the central military camp by the generals.

The general's eyes were filled with tears and he was so excited that he couldn't speak. He tried to calm himself down several times but still couldn't get a single word out.

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng laughed and said, "I understand. You can go and do your work."

After the general left, the military doctor took a pair of scissors and cut off the gauze on Zhao Zheng's wound bit by bit.

As he spoke, he tried to divert Zhao Zheng's attention: "General, this is a big gamble."

"If the Marquis of Jiangling fails to keep his word, or just talks big, the country will be broken and the mountains and rivers will be in danger!"

Zhao Zheng's forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he still smiled and replied: "You, I don't know, this child has been calm since he was young."

"I can't remember clearly, it was when she was four or five years old. She was very small and went to Linyuan with her brothers to take the imperial examination."

“It rained heavily that year and many places were flooded.”

"Linyuan and Linyuan River, if she hadn't warned Zhuang Yun in advance, I don't know how many people would have died."

The military doctor replied: "I have heard the general talk about this. Your apprentice was admitted during that flood."

Speaking of Xie Mingcheng, the smile on Zhao Zheng's face faded a little.

The old general sighed, "I don't know what's going on in Youzhou and Qingzhou..."

"One of us is in the west, and the other is in the east. We can't take care of ourselves and can't help much."

"General, don't think about it. Just take care of your wounds."

......

An hour later, the cavalry returned to the camp, and the sound of celebration resounded through the sky.

A general stepped forward and wanted to throw Xie Yuheng high up, but was stopped by Rong Shi and others.

Rong Shi bowed and said, "My master doesn't like people to get close to him. I hope you generals will forgive me!"

Many generals quickly moved away, saying ashamedly: "No, no, no, it is we who should say forgiveness."

"We shouldn't have said such rude words to the Marquis when we left the camp this morning."

As they spoke, they all knelt on one knee, "Please punish me, my Lord!"
