Li Quan went back to his room and continued to rest.

Although he didn't see the mirror image outside the city, the ubiquitous smell of blood clearly told Li Quan how brutal the battle was today.

This is the first day, and there are still two days and two nights to stick to, and no one knows what will happen next.

After returning to the house, Li Quan never fell asleep again, looking at the window until dawn.

When the dawn sun came into the room, Li Quan immediately got out of bed. After lying down all night, his body seemed to have recovered a lot, at least he didn't feel any pain.

After calming down, Li Quan went out to the city.

Chapter 672: Sudden Retirement

The scorching sun drove away the wind and sand that lingered all day long, and the clouds became thinner. The boundless sky presented a rare grandeur, as calm as a brand new mirror. .

However, the sky is not blue, a touch of orange red is like orange juice smudged in the air, and the clouds in the distance are more like bright red oil wax wrapped, so that the early morning also shows the wonder of yesterday's evening burning clouds.

The sky is beautiful, but the ground is a world stained red with blood.Comparing up and down, people will know what is heaven and what is hell.

Under the city, the corpses are like dumped garbage, filling the ditches of the moat, and the broken limbs and arms mixed with blood and yellow sand are like clay sculptures. Countless vultures are gnawing on these corpses, which are bigger than crows. Creatures that make one feel bleak and restless.

It is impossible to estimate how many people died, and it is impossible to imagine how the battle went on. There are still blackened ropes hanging on the city wall. The renovated city wall is once again stained with black ashes after being burned, and its wounds are more Also deeper.

The scorching sun illuminated everything very clearly, and Li Quan stood silently at the top of the wall. This visual impact was even worse than when he was in Huaihai County.

Because it rained during the massacre in Huaihai County, the rain washed away a lot of blood.But at this time, so many corpses were piled up together, mixed with sand and eaten by vultures, and the sun showed this miserable scene in front of everyone without any hesitation, which naturally seemed even more desolate.

Li Quan came from the capital, and Wei Zhong could understand the feeling when he saw such a scene for the first time, and said relaxedly on the side: "My lord, war is like this, just get used to it."

Li Quan nodded.

At this time, a soldier came to report: "Report! The front sentry found that there was movement in the White Lotus Sect army. The soldiers divided into two groups and marched to the east and west sides. It is estimated... that they are going to besiege the city!"

"Siege the city!" Li Quan was surprised at first, and then overjoyed, "Well done! Let them besiege!"

Wei Zhong didn't know Li Quan's deduction, so he asked, "Why is your lord so happy?"

"The White Lotus Sect chose to besiege the city, which proves that my inference is correct. The other party is reluctant to fight to the death with my army. They want to trap us and let us surrender. In this way, Qiuling will not suffer too much in the next few days. and our purpose is to delay the time for our main force. As long as we can persist for three days, we can abandon the city and join forces with [-] soldiers in the barracks [-] miles away, attack one place and escape By then, the main force led by Wei Jiming should have broken through the pass, and we can pass the news to the imperial court after we meet up."

Wei Zhong would not doubt Li Quan's judgment, because the governor brought too many surprises, but with the poem and roar yesterday, its power is comparable to that of a hundred thousand troops. Let me ask, there is another person in this world who can did it?

……

……

Facts once again verified Li Quan's thoughts. Sure enough, after the White Lotus Sect chose to besiege the city, the attacks encountered in the next two days were significantly weaker than those on the first day.

Li Quan was happy to see such a scene, at least in the current situation, he didn't need to go to the top of the city to command, and he didn't need to watch the bloody scene.

From the bottom of Li Quan's heart, he is unwilling to fight. He has never yearned for a battle in the battlefield. It's okay to throw his head and blood and watch it on TV, but he doesn't want to face it if it really happens to him.Therefore, Li Quan stayed in the house all day to escape.

But time is ticking by, and running away won't solve the problem.

Soon, the three-day period will come, if the White Lotus Sect does not retreat.Then, at the moment when the reinforcements shouted to kill, Li Quan would eventually rush into the battlefield with the soldiers and feel the cruelty of war at the closest distance.

In the early morning of the third day, Li Quan seemed a little uneasy.Similarly, the soldiers in the whole city also seemed uneasy, they were seriously waiting and ready to attack at any time.

The bleak wind had a different taste, Li Quan stood in the city and watched the soldiers gather.

"It's finally here!" Li Quan weighed the steel knife in his hand with a sad face.Li Quan's current body can no longer use a little yang energy. If he wants to fight, he can only use his flesh and blood to fight the enemy like ordinary people. Li Quan, who is used to crushing opponents with realm and yang energy, is sure It's hard to get used to.

"My lord, the team is assembled." Wei Zhong's voice suddenly came, "The final general will go to the top of the city to observe the situation. When the signal is received later, my lord will lead the whole army to rush out of the city."

"Yes." Li Quan pretended to be calm and agreed.

Watching Wei Zhong gradually disappear from sight, Li Quan was a little dazed.

After an unknown amount of time, a spy entered the city and shouted loudly, "Report!"

The voice was sharp and piercing. Li Quan seemed to realize something, but felt his scalp go numb and his hand holding the knife tightened.

The atmosphere in the city froze.

However, everyone guessed wrong about the content of the detective report.

"The White Lotus Sect has withdrawn its troops!"

The White Lotus Sect has withdrawn its troops?

Li Quan was an 'exciting' spirit, and he still hasn't come back to it in a trance!

After a while, bursts of cheers came from the team that Li Quan was facing, and the atmosphere of joy exploded quickly!

"The White Lotus Sect has withdrawn?" Li Quan murmured.

Looking at the cheering soldiers in front of him, Li Quan finally believed it, and soon showed the same expression as the soldiers.

Relax!Absolute relaxation!

The tense nerves suddenly relaxed, followed by bursts of headaches. Li Quan covered his forehead and cheered with the soldiers. Seeing the expressions of the soldiers, Li Quan was sure that he was not alone in the battle, everyone was the same , which does not mean cowardice.

In joy, Li Quan quickly rushed to the top of the city.During this process, cheers came from the top of the city!

"Retreat! Retreat!"

The mixed voice stimulated everyone's nerves, Li Quan stood at the top of the city, looking into the distance.

Today is still sunny, with little wind and sand, and the sight line is surprisingly good.

The white waves several miles away are receding, and the empty camps are looming. Everything happened in an instant, and the [-] troops seemed to disappear out of thin air!

"Quick! Come on!" Li Quan yelled urgently, "Send sentries to the White Lotus Sect barracks to investigate and bring back detailed information."

……

……

The sentinel's information came back quickly.

The White Lotus Sect's retreat was very sudden, and the camps were not cleaned up in a hurry, which shows that they encountered an unexpected situation.

After receiving this news, Li Quan guessed that it should be the influence of Wei Zhong's attack on the pass. The news spread to the White Lotus Sect's army. up.

The White Lotus Sect retreated, and the hills were naturally safe for the time being.But it also proved that the surprise attack of the main force led by Wei Jiming failed, and formed an anxious situation with the White Lotus Sect army at the pass, so that the White Lotus Sect would have a gap for people to spread the news.

What is worrying now is that Wei Jiming was stranded because he couldn't hold the pass for a while. If he was intercepted by the retreating White Lotus Sect troops, he would be in big trouble!I only hope that Wei Jiming can act according to the pre-established plan, and you can retreat at this time to keep the whole army safe.
