616: C616 Retreat

C616 Retreat

"How are you? Can you still persist?" Huang Feng asked Su Pei who was standing beside him. He might be the only one who could provide Su Pei with help now. Although Su Pei had brought some personal guards with him, however... At this moment, none of the guards were by his side. Furthermore, on top of the city walls, there were dangers everywhere. Even if those people wanted to come over, there was nothing they could do.2

"I won't die!" Su Pei looked at his injured arm and said. He had been injured before, so this injury was no big deal to him.

"That's good." Huang Feng nodded, then turned around and continued to stare at the city wall in front of him.

Su Pei, on the other hand, was looking at Huang Feng with curiosity and doubt in his eyes. Huang Feng's performance did not seem special to ordinary people. He was not injured, but he was just lucky.

However, Su Pei, who had been by Huang Feng's side all this time, obviously did not think so.

Huang Feng had been very calm from the beginning to the end. That kind of calmness was not simply an act. It was a kind of calmness that came from the bottom of his heart. Even if there were a few Western Army soldiers who were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they climbed up the city wall, it was a kind of calmness that came from the bottom of their hearts. When he swung the sword in his hand at Huang Feng, there was no sign of panic on Huang Feng's face.

Furthermore, Su Pei also discovered that Huang Feng's martial arts seemed to be very good. Among the people he had seen before, ___ was definitely the best. That time, a few Western Army soldiers climbed up from their side. There were only Huang Feng and himself on his side, and he was even injured. However, Huang Feng only nimbly dodged a few times. And then... He casually waved the rusty Longsword in his hand a few times, and the few Western Army soldiers died on the spot. However, Huang Feng himself wasn't injured at all.

"When did such a figure appear in our army?" He looked at Huang Feng holding the Longsword and standing on the city wall. He killed anyone who tried to get close to them. While Su Pei was curious about Huang Feng's skills, he was also very puzzled.

Ever since they had occupied the Mei County, because their reputation had been spread out, there would be a lot of rebels who would come and vote for them every day. Therefore, it was normal for people they didn't know to appear.

However, Su Pei knew about his own family. Although the number of people in his family was constantly increasing... However, there were very few people who were truly talented. Most of them were forced by the Imperial Court to the point that they could not live, which was why they rebelled. As for those who were capable, if not for some special reason... They rarely took this path. After all... With their abilities, they could live well no matter where they went.

Therefore, Su Pei was not surprised that Huang Feng, who did not look like an ordinary person, had appeared in the uprising army.

"Be careful!"

Just as Huang Su Pei was thinking about Huang Feng, a shout suddenly sounded in his ear. He was startled, then he saw a black dot rushing towards him. His knowledge told him that it was an arrow. An arrow that could take his life!

Su Pei wanted to react, but it was too late. The black dot was about to hit his forehead. He could only shout in his heart, My life is over!

However, at this moment, he heard a "ding" sound. Then, the black dot that was about to hit his forehead disappeared!

"It's not a good habit to make a small mistake on the battlefield, General Su Pei!" Huang Feng slowly took back his Longsword and looked at Su Pei, who seemed to have yet to recover from his shock, and said faintly.

"Thank you for saving me." Su Pei, who had regained his senses, said gratefully to Huang Feng. At the same time, he felt a little embarrassed in his heart. After all, he was not a rookie who had just entered the battlefield. Of course, he knew how terrible his performance was just now. However, it was also because he was too curious about Huang Feng. That was why the scene just now had happened.

Huang Feng did not say anything because there were soldiers from the Western Army who took advantage of the time when he turned around. He climbed up the city wall, but that guy's luck was not good. Before he could clearly see the situation on the top of the city wall, a light flashed in front of his eyes. Then, his head and body were completely separated.

"If you want to thank me, we'll talk after this battle is over." Huang Feng said faintly.

"Okay!" Su Pei was not a real rookie. Of course, he knew what he should do now. Therefore, after responding, he turned around and faced the city wall, continuing to kill the invading enemies.

The attack of the Western Army was fiercer than what everyone had imagined. In addition, the city wall of Mei County wasn't very tall. The defending troops in the city lacked long-range weapons, so the battle was very intense.

Huang Feng and the others were in a corner because of his existence. Therefore, they were not broken through by the enemy, even if there were soldiers from the Western Army who managed to climb up by luck. They would be chased down by Huang Feng and Su Pei very soon.

As for the other places on the city wall, the situation wasn't that good. Many places were in danger, and Huang Feng saw that the reserve forces of the city had already been sent over. They were constantly sending reinforcements everywhere. One had to know that this was only the first day. In the first morning, they had already used the reserve forces. One could imagine how difficult it was for the uprising army.

The other bad news for the uprising army was that they lacked medicine. This was a problem that was common at this time. Once someone was injured and infected, even if it was only a small injury at the beginning, it could be a bacteria infection in the end. And it killed him.

The uprising army was even more lacking in medicine. Furthermore, these people were originally commoners in the eyes of the world. Their lives were naturally worthless, so those who were injured... Those who were lucky to not die on the spot were actually not much better than those who had already died. Because they could only lie on the side and no one cared about them. Then, they prayed in their hearts that they could survive this ordeal. Other than that, they had no other choice.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

In the afternoon, a dull drum sound suddenly came from outside the city. Then, those Western Army soldiers who had already climbed up the city wall or were preparing to climb up the city wall retreated like a tide.

Huang Feng was stunned for a moment, then he understood. The enemy had retreated, but the people on the city wall... Obviously, they also understood this point. They did not take the opportunity to chase after the enemy. After all, they lacked long-range weapons. When they saw the Western Army retreat, most of them sat down on the ground, gasping for air. They were recovering their bodies.

Apart from heavy breathing, the only sound left on the city wall was the painful groans. The conversation that was full of confidence had disappeared.
