"What? A sneak attack? A fire?"

Just as the general of Zidian was about to wave his hand to issue a siege order, the deputy who received the emergency message whispered a message to the general's ear, making his face change.

"Sir, what should I do?" the deputy asked.

"Can it be..." The general was hesitating, and then the thick fog was used to explore Ziyun City with his own strength.

He could find that there were not many guards in Ziyun City.

It is possible that it has been hidden.

"Sir, if they had passed us by a large army, or had already passed by the daytime battle, and then they were burning our food and grass to attack the inner city in one fell swoop." The deputy general said a possibility, "The main general of Zhuonan City is Zhang Xi."

Facing others, they may not be so afraid.

They were actually not too afraid of Zhang Xi.

However, Zhang Xi showed a miracle not long ago. In a very short time, he won the four cities of Zidian in a way that many people had not expected, so that Zidian and Zhaoye were originally morally rational in the negotiations, but suddenly, due to the issue of military deployment, he still needed to make some compromises to Zhaoye.

And all of this is thanks to Zhang Xi.

If, if Zhang Xi had really taken the large army to bypass them, burned their food and grass, and headed straight into the middle.

If there is a crisis in the city inside, when they occupy it, it will be their responsibility for dereliction of duty.

Even if they took back Zhuonan City, they would not be able to make up for the crime of losing one city again.

At that time, Zhang Xifang was able to attack them in a way that would catch them from the front and back, and they would become trapped in Zhuonan City. The reinforcements had to bypass Zhang Xi's side to arrive.

"Retreat, withdraw, and support with all your strength! Retreat, quickly, fast, take the lead!" The main general, including the deputy general, are experienced and mature veteran generals. It is precisely because they are too mature that they have lost the courage to take a gamble.

Compared to Zhuo Nancheng right in front of them, they are more worried about being held accountable after losing.

Experience makes them believe in their judgment.

Even if they had a little thought in their mind, would Zhang Xi send someone to burn food and grass to force them to return?

Even if they know that there may be problems, they will still not choose to take risks.

They can't take that risk.

They are all mature veterans with military achievements. They don’t want to make mistakes and destroy all the merits in the front half of their bodies with them.

The explosion during the day also made them realize Zhang Xi's ability to use strange tricks, which made them even more afraid to bet, unable to bet, and unwilling to bet.

The army retreated.

"They retreated?"

On the wall of Zhuonan City, several soldiers with slightly higher cultivation felt the pressure fading, and then secretly shot several arrows without arrows in the direction outside.

There was no sound of the arrow shaft hitting any obstacle. The sound of the sound coming back was very light, which was the sound of the barrier falling on the ground without any obstacles.

So they confirmed that the enemy had withdrew.

"Why did it withdraw?"

"It's probably the boss's flag that makes them scared."

Several guards looked at the "Zhang" flag arranged by Zhang Xi and could be hung high in the center of the city wall.

Why did Zhang Xi deliberately make a "Zhang" flag? Isn't it just that the people on the other side know that the people in this city are his Zhang Xi's Zhang family army?

The Zhang family army that he claimed to be cannot be his private army.

The most important thing to write this way is to let the enemy who wants to attack the city pay attention, that is, the guardian of the city is no longer the four major families, but Zhang Xi.

This time, there is no need to go out in full swing to the four major families. It is too formal. Zhang Xi is not enough to let Zidian's big shots come on stage.

Moreover, judging from that time, when the Zidian Iron Cavalry general in Zhaoye let him go, he didn't know why the other party let him go, and he was too lazy to guess.

He naively hoped that if he met him again, or if he met some "kind" Zidian who did not want to kill his generals, he could let him have a way out.

Yes, this flag is not meant to be terrified.

It is a symbol of people who are despised and not trying too hard to Zidian.

It’s really not that he wants to show weakness, it’s him, it’s really weak.

If Zhaoye doesn't take him and the Three Thousand Army Horses seriously, Zidian won't take him seriously. He can only take himself seriously.

Dignity and face are very important.

But only by living can we regain dignity and face.

Huang Chi was very proud of his appearance from the past to before he was buried. He went from living like a mouse to being trampled under his feet like a cockroach. Today, he is still alive, and he regained his face and dignity from Huang Chi.

But in Yanghui's land, if you want to live, face and dignity must be abandoned for a certain period of time.

When he was powerless to change Yang Hui, he could only integrate first, adapt first, show weakness first, not be ashamed, not shameless, not dignified and live with dignity.

"Boss Zi, you've done a pretty job. They're back. Now, it's time for us to perform and get out." Zhang Xi stood in a sea of ​​fire that was burning around and waved to Ziyun.

Face or something really doesn't matter.

Will men who want to save face need to ask women for help in a humble manner?

But without Ziyun, he really couldn't do anything this time.

The return of the large army, especially the powerful Zidians, let him know that his plan had worked, and Zhuo Nancheng had a few more days to breathe.

Ziyun listened to Zhang Xi's "respecting title" for him, reluctantly let go of his fear of his evil behavior, believed him once, and stood in the center of the sea of ​​fire with him.

"Arrowman! Give me ten thousand arrows to kill them!" When the deputy general came back, he blushed when he saw the almost completely destroyed grain camp.

The main general stopped the archer who was about to shoot the arrow and said angrily: "They have nowhere to escape. No, just watch them and burn them to death. Don't let them go too easily!"

boom!

A flame quickly stained Zhang Xi and Ziyun's bodies, and in an instant, the two were burned into ashes.

"What's going on?" The Lord General looked at them burning fast enough and felt a little suspicious.

After dismounting, he made a conclusion report and judged that Zhang Xi and Ziyun were also covered with oil on their bodies, so they were burned so quickly: "It's oil. They poured oil on their bodies, and they probably didn't think they would escape again."
Chapter completed!
