Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 72 The Enemy Retreats

Xiao Wu sighed softly. He understood that it was absolutely impossible for Ma Chao to leave. For a general like him, fleeing from his own troops instead of living and dying with them was undoubtedly a violation of his inner principles. things.

It's just that he has to say it, because there is another person who is more important than these.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, well, Xiao Wu is about to die, and I'm afraid I won't be able to serve as a bodyguard by your side in the future. I, Xiao Wu, have been soldiers in the Eastern Palace for so many years. What I regret the most now is that I didn't visit you. If I knew you were such a person earlier, my little five would have chosen to get to know you earlier, instead of being so late now."

"Your Highness, although it hasn't been long since I, Xiao Wu, was transferred to your side, and you always say some weird things, you should be considered the easiest big shot that I, Xiao Wu, have encountered in all these years.

There are no requirements, he is always cheerful and tells us some interesting stories, but Xiaowu's skills are too low and he cannot contribute much to His Highness's great cause.

Therefore, General Ma Chao, you must not die. At least, you should replace us and investigate His Highness's life and death.No, His Highness must still be alive, such a good person will definitely be blessed by good luck. "

Xiao Wu slowly made up his mind, and followed in the direction Ma Chao left.

"Why, you don't obey my order?" Ma Chao turned his head and looked at Xiao Wu.

"General, I am His Highness's bodyguard. Knowing His Highness's safety is my most important task. My legs now..." Xiao Wu patted his legs slowly.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to walk for a long time with my current legs. Even if I live, I won't be able to walk for long before I will be caught by the enemy. That's why I want to ask you."

Within the corner of the city wall, Xiao Wu slowly knelt down towards Ma Chao.

"General, you must be alive, go and check His Highness's news for me, otherwise, I, Xiao Wu, will die with regret." Xiao Wu wanted to kowtow, but Ma Chao's hand tightly grasped his shoulder, unable to move .

"General Ma Chao, do you really have to die with us? You are the only one left here who has the ability to escape. Otherwise, do you think that I, Xiao Wu, will beg you eagerly?"

Xiao Wu's voice suddenly became louder.

"As His Highness's bodyguard, if it is not for knowing His Highness's life and death, but for other reasons, it is absolutely impossible for me to kneel down for you."

"His Highness is such a good person, he will never die like this. He needs others to help him. General Ma Chao, you are good at martial arts and have high abilities. Only you can find him and help him."

"My little five's life is worthless. If it weren't for His Highness saving me twice, I would have died a long time ago. There is still a chance to work with His Highness. Now, my little five's life is lost here , as if I have devoted my allegiance to His Highness.

But General Ma Chao, do you really not care about His Highness's life or death?Are you really unwilling to make an exception for His Highness, if you really die here.Then those of us will not know the news of His Highness even after we die.

Just take it as your kindness, live on, and find out about His Highness in the future, whether it is life or death, at least someone can tell me, I can't just die here without knowing anything.

Xiao Wu struggled out of Ma Chao's arm and kowtowed slowly.

"Xiao Wu, I also know your feelings for His Highness. He has saved you twice. However, I, Ma Chao, will never do such a thing as abandoning my brothers."

Ma Chao was unmoved.

"General Ma Chao, I, Xiao Wu, beg you, please, can't you please!"

"Otherwise, my little five will die here now, as long as you live, my little five can do anything."

Ma Chao kicked away the dagger in Xiao Wu's hand
"You, why are you doing this? Let's do this. I, Ma Chao, will definitely work hard to break through, and I will never seek death. You will be satisfied."

"Okay, okay, okay, General Ma Chao, what you say must count. You must work hard to break out. Go and see for me whether His Highness is still alive. Otherwise, my Xiao Wu is really dead. Don't worry. No less.”

"They are coming again, everyone is ready."

"Okay, get up quickly, besides, we may not be dead yet, His Highness' reinforcements may arrive soon!"

"Let's go to the city wall. We must guard Hangu Pass well. This is the task His Highness entrusted to us."

Ma Chao helped Xiao Wu to the top of the city wall.

On the ground in the distance, a large number of soldiers, carrying ladders in their hands and carrying bows and arrows on their backs, attacked Hangu Pass again.

"Everyone, listen to my orders and prepare to fight." The spear in Ma Chao's hand pointed directly at the city wall.

"Yes, I will obey the general's orders."

Xiao Wu clenched the long knife in his hand, he understood that if there were no miracles, this should be the last battle.

"It's just a pity that I didn't die by His Highness's side. In this way, in the future, if there is an afterlife, I, Xiao Wu, will definitely serve as your bodyguard."

Xiao Wu thought silently in his heart, but under the city wall, the enemy's fierce expression was clearly visible.

The ladder was erected on the city wall again, and the deadly fight began again.

Most people already know that this is their last battle, and none of the people who can survive until now are timid, because the timid people are often the first to die.

Everyone is thinking about the things that are most memorable in their hearts, including their close family members, their heirs who are connected by flesh and blood, and the people they never forget.

Then, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, they launched the most vicious attack on the enemy.

With a bloodstain on the long knife, he slashed an enemy down from the ladder, but a sharp arrow pierced into Xiao Wu's shoulder fiercely.

He pulled it out casually, and drew out the knife again, bringing blood all over his face.

However, Xiao Wu waited for a long time, but did not see another enemy appearing.

"General, the enemy has retreated, the enemy has retreated." Someone was shouting loudly.

"General, general, look, it seems to be reinforcements, it seems to be the banner of His Highness."

Ma Chao didn't speak, just quietly watched the enemy's retreat and the flag erected far away.

Xiao Wu's vision is a little blurry.

"Your Highness, His Highness's banner, His Highness is fine, he has led troops to support us."

Xiao Wu fainted on the city wall.

Xiao Wu didn't see the banner, he just fainted in peace after hearing the news.

Of course, he didn't see the joy and crazy celebration of everyone on the city wall who survived.

Even Ma Chao, who had been unsmiling since the start of the city defense battle, laughed loudly at the bottom of the city wall.
