Chapter 28 The strategy of retreating from the enemy

After getting off the city wall and on the way back to the inn, Bai Yutang kept looking at Zhan Zhao's face, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what bad idea are you thinking, tell me quickly, I don't believe you will tell me." Out of the list."

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Brother Bai, don't worry, I will tell you later."

While talking, everyone has returned to the inn.

Zhan Zhao took out the list from his pocket, handed it to Ouyang Chun, and said, "Brother Ouyang, when I go out to meet Gong Qianshan, please dress up and wait patiently. To take precautions, please leave the town by the back door immediately on a healthy horse, and Miss Ayue will tell you the direction to avoid the sandstorm." With a serious expression on his face, he continued: "Brother Ouyang, please hurry all the way as soon as possible after leaving the town. Bring the list back to the capital and give it to Lord Bao."

Ouyang Chun looked at the list in his hand, then looked up at Zhan Zhao, his eyes were full of surprise, and he asked, "Brother Zhan, you..."

Zhan Zhao said: "This matter is very important, it is related to the safety of the country, and it depends on Brother Ouyang to make it happen. This time, there will be many difficulties and obstacles on the way back to Beijing. Brother Ouyang, please be careful, and don't lose the list no matter what."

Ouyang Chun saw that he spoke solemnly, and was grateful for his trust, and agreed generously: "Brother Zhan, don't worry, people are on the list, and even with my last breath, I, Ouyang Chun, will hand over the list to Mr. Bao. "

He didn't say much anymore, carefully kept the list in his bosom, holding the Seven Treasures Saber in his hand, and went to follow the disciples of the Moonlight Clan to choose a good horse, and when the time came, he could act according to the plan.

Zhan Zhao said to Bai Yutang again: "After half an hour, the big sandstorm is likely to come, please brother Bai and Miss Ding to help Miss Ayue protect Qiongta Town, not only to defend against sandstorms, but also to prevent the Xixia army from attacking the town in disorder , hurt innocent people."

Bai Yutang was suspicious, he kept looking up and down at Zhan Zhao, and said, "Are you really going to see that Gong Qianshan? Okay, you go, I'll go with you."

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "No, once Brother Ouyang and I leave, you are the only expert left here. If you leave too, Qiongta Town is weak and can be easily broken by the Xixia Army. Brother Bai, the people in this town Your life depends entirely on you two."

Bai Yutang asked: "You don't have the list, how can you tell Gong Qianshan? Seeing that you don't have the list, he will definitely not let you go, and he won't let Qiongta Town go."

Zhan Zhao looked calm, as if he had already made up his mind, and said: "This is what I asked Brother Bai to do. We must defend Qiongta Town, and we must not let the Xixia army break through before the sandstorm arrives. As for me, don't worry, I will do it myself. There is a way."

He spoke with such certainty that several people looked at him with wide eyes, dubious. Although they knew that he was always witty, they really couldn't think of how he could deal with Gong Qianshan and the five thousand Xixia elite soldiers.

Bai Yutang was still worried, clapped his hands suddenly, and shouted: "I remembered, when that Guanbei king was leaving a few days ago, he didn't leave you a gold medal, saying that as long as you open your mouth, he will promise anything, why don't you use the gold medal to follow?" The king of Guanbei dispatched his troops here? The Xixia people have blatantly invaded the territory of the Song Dynasty, and it should be the duty of the king of Guanbei to come and drive back the enemy."

Zhan Zhao said: "The Xixia army went deep alone, it came so suddenly, Qiongta Town is located in a remote place, Guanbei King must have not been able to get the news in time. What's more, Xilu City, where Guanbei King is located, is not close to here, so it's just a matter of speeding up. It will take two days to travel, time is tight, Gong Qianshan will never give us such a long time. Besides, Miss Ayue predicted that there will be a big sandstorm coming, even if the army of Guanbei King can arrive at Qiongta Town in time, it will not be too long. They must not risk their entire army being wiped out in a sandstorm."

Bai Yutang thought for a while, and knew that what he said was true, although he was still unwilling to let Zhan Zhao go out to face the Xixia people alone, he couldn't think of a better plan, so he had to stop talking.

After arranging the crowd, Zhan Zhao sat cross-legged and practiced with his eyes closed.

Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, Zhan Zhao stood up, his eyes were shining brightly, his face was calm and firm, and he first told Ouyang Chun to hide behind the town and wait to escape the sandstorm from the southeast to break through.He himself came to the city wall together with Bai Yutang and others.

The dark clouds in the sky have already rolled in, almost reaching the top of the head. Under the dark clouds in the distance, the yellow sand is filled, and the boundary between heaven and earth cannot be distinguished at all.

Strangely, just like the previous sandstorm, the violent wind that swept across the world suddenly stopped, and the surroundings were so quiet that there was no sound at all, as if all movements between the sky and the earth had stopped, and even the dark clouds overhead showed signs of dispersing.

The Xixia army outside the town was originally disturbed by the previous strong wind, and the soldiers were flustered. When the strong wind stopped, they thought it was just a common weather change in the desert, so they didn't care. Surrounded tightly.

Little did they know that this unusual tranquility was the result of the ruthless desert accumulating all its power, preparing to launch a big sandstorm rarely seen in a century.

Zhan Zhao walked to the city wall, looked back at Bai Yutang, then at A Yue and Ding Yuehua, smiled slightly, and said, "Everyone, take care."

Before Bai Yutang and the others could respond, he jumped off the city wall and stood firmly on the yellow sand. Without a moment's hesitation, he walked towards Gong Qianshan on the opposite side step by step.

Bai Yutang frowned and said, "What the hell is this stinky cat doing? Why do I always feel that something is wrong?"

Ding Yuehua was full of confidence, and said: "I believe Brother Zhan will find a good way to defeat the enemy, and he will come back safely."

Bai Yutang glanced back at her, rolled his eyelids again, and said, "Miss Ding, you can't blindly trust someone just because you like him. Zhan Zhao is also a human being, a flesh and blood body like you and me, who will be injured and die of."

Ding Yuehua poohed: "You are dead, you crow's mouth. Brother Zhan will be safe. Right? Sister Ah Yue?"

Ah Yue didn't seem to hear her words, but just concentrated on looking at Zhan Zhao's figure under the city wall.Not only her, Bai Yutang and Ding Yuehua stopped talking, and the three pairs of eyes looked at Zhan Zhao in the distance.

Zhan Zhao walked up to Gong Qianshan and said with a smile, "Zhan is already here."

Gong Qianshan was already impatient to wait, seeing him so calm, he was full of suspicion, and said, "Where's the list?"

Zhan Zhao still smiled and said, "Zhan has thought about it just now, this list is of great importance to my Song Dynasty, how could it be given to you Xixia thieves?"

Gong Qianshan's face turned pale immediately, and he shouted: "You dare to tease me! Zhan Zhao, you are so brave, you dare to come out to see me without a list? I know you are not afraid of death, but are you not afraid that I will destroy the entire Qiongta Town?"

Zhan Zhao's smile was full of contempt, and he said, "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid that you will kill innocent people, so... I have no choice but to act first."

After saying the last word, the smile on his face disappeared completely, the light in his eyes shone like a sharp sword, and when he stretched out his arm, the giant que was unsheathed.

The giant que was like a dragon soaring into the sky, the sound of the dragon's chant resounded through the sky, and it struck Gong Qianshan's chest like lightning.

Gong Qianshan turned pale with fright, he didn't expect Zhan Zhao to fight as soon as he said it, and he couldn't draw his weapon to resist, so he could only ignore his face, save his life, rolled sideways to the ground, and rolled a few times on the spot, only to escape Zhan Zhao's attack A sword, but has already broken out in a cold sweat.

Under Zhan Zhao's serious injury, his skill was much worse than usual, otherwise how would Gong Qianshan survive?

Zhan Zhao forced Gong Qianshan back with a sword, and instead of chasing after him, he didn't turn around and retreat back to Qiongta Town. Instead, he charged forward and rushed into the Xixia army head-on.

Gong Qianshan got up from the ground, still in shock, seeing Zhan Zhao's audacity, not only did not retreat, but actually rushed into the army formation, he couldn't help shouting angrily: "Take Zhan Zhao, don't let him go."

Gong Qianshan didn't have to worry about Zhan Zhao running away, because Zhan Zhao had no intention of running away at all.
