At this time, the ancient Zhao Kingdom was on the border.
General Huwei came in person with his people.
In the distance, he saw a human head hanging on the flag on the city wall.
That was clearly the head of his lieutenant, and his face was terrifyingly gloomy.
"General, we have lost half of our army. If..."
The other lieutenant was in awe at this moment. The head hanging on the city wall seemed to indicate his future, giving him a very frightening feeling.
"Let the soldiers have a good rest first."
General Huwei didn't know that this time they were in trouble.
He had thought about going to the ancient Zhao Kingdom regardless of the situation and pushing it over.
But it's not an easy task.
Just look at how fierce the army of the Daqian Kingdom is and how fast they attack.
He understood that it was impossible to kill the entire ancient Zhao Kingdom and reach the Daqian Kingdom.
And once the war reaches a stalemate, they are likely to lose supplies when their retreat is cut off.
At that time, they will only have a dead end.
So the only way now is to quickly use the remaining troops to open up a way out and ask for help from His Majesty.
After just capturing a few small cities, General Huwei still had some confidence.
There are several small towns on the border at this time.
Wei Wu had ordered all the soldiers to evacuate the town, leaving only a few scarecrows as cover on the city wall.
"General, all those craftsmen and masters are exhausted."
After defeating all the enemy troops who came to attack these small cities, their generals began to prepare for evacuation.
Now it's hard for the master craftsmen who have been working hard to make traps and engineering equipment.
They haven't had a break for several days.
"Take them with us and retreat to the territory of Wei."
This strategy was given to him by Qin Feng, and it appeared directly in his mind.
Although he didn't understand why this happened, he felt it was feasible.
As a victorious general who fought on the battlefield, he knew the benefits of the empty city strategy.
"What?"
"If you ask us to withdraw to the territory of Wei, aren't you risking our lives?"
"What's the difference between this and the meat buns used to beat dogs?"
Lu Gong was so frightened that his face turned green when he received the order.
"Ahem, Master Lu, we are not going to enter Wei State, we are just ambushing on the hills on Wei State's border."
"Although it is very close to Wei State."
"So far, we have not detected any Wei reinforcements behind our vehicles."
"This means they most likely haven't gotten the news yet, so it's a risk we can still take."
The deputy general did not look down on Lu Gong. In fact, he also knew that this old master was very helpful to them.
Lu Gong was a little unhappy, although in the army, they were worshiped as god-like figures.
Any good food was given to them first. Since the army came, they have never gone hungry again.
But always working so hard and risking his life is not the life he wants.
"No, can't you think of a better way?"
"Take us everywhere every day. If we die in the hands of the enemy, you will be mainly responsible."
Lu Gong was very angry. He felt that he was very important, especially to His Royal Highness.
When His Highness the Crown Prince told Wei Wu that he must protect them, he heard it.
"Master Lu, if our plan succeeds, then you and your team will be the first to succeed."
"The general said that as long as this battle is won, we can go back safely."
"Everything happens out of necessity, so please forgive me, Master."
Now that the words have come to this, no matter how dissatisfied Lu Gong is, he does not dare to express any more opinions.
The reason why this group of people have always been so kind to them is because the craftsmen can help them fight.
The manufactured equipment made them very satisfied and they killed countless enemies, which led to their attitude becoming more and more respectful.
But if he continues to make threats, he will be a bit shady.
Anyway, he and his craftsmen don't have to go to the front line at all, they just need to make equipment for them in the rear, no big deal.
"Forget it, since we have come this far with you, let's continue to follow."
"But you must protect us. We are the people His Highness the Crown Prince wants. Hundreds of people are indispensable."
What else could the lieutenant say, and he naturally agreed with a smile on his face.
People in several small towns took advantage of nightfall to cook rice and then evacuated quickly.
Lu Gong looked at the pots left behind and felt it was a pity.
But now that the most critical moment has come, he has no choice but to waste it ruthlessly.
If there is no movement of making food, how can the enemy believe it?
At this time, the scouts sent by General Huwei also returned.
"Report to the general, they have started making food now."
"Looking at the amount of smoke and dust, they still have at least 60,000 troops!"
"Hiss~"
"When did the army of Daqian Kingdom become so powerful?"
"We came with so many troops, but we still left so many of them."
General Huwei's lieutenant gasped when he heard the news.
"Hmph, what are you afraid of?"
"No matter how powerful they are, those small towns on the border can't protect them."
General Huwei is not afraid at all.
What he wants now is to divide his troops for a night attack!
The reason why the troops are divided is because these three small cities are connected together.
Watch and help each other.
If you only attack one of them, you'll probably get dumped, so you have to divide your forces.
But it's also because the walls of these small cities are not very high.
It is easy to climb, and the city gate is even more precarious, so it is not difficult for them to knock it down.
So the success rate of night attacks is really high.
Night falls.
General Huwei's order was conveyed to the three armies and they immediately launched a night attack.
In order for the soldiers to fight bravely against the enemy, General Huwei even took the field himself.
He was also the first to climb the city wall.
However, when he climbed up the city wall, he saw many people standing on the wall.
His expression suddenly changed as he slashed at the head of the enemy closest to him, only to see a ball of straw fall out.
"Huh? No, I fell into a trap, retreat!"
General Huwei roared angrily and immediately ordered a retreat.
The soldiers of Wei were a little confused, but they still carried out his order.
However, an hour passed, and there was no response from several cities.
Not to mention the pursuers, there wasn't even a fart sound.
General Huwei was confused and quickly sent someone to investigate.
Soon, the scout came back.
"Report to the general, there is no one in the city!"
