Tuoba Yin is not a villain who goes back on his word. He said that withdrawing troops means really withdrawing troops. With a command, the horn of the Northern Jin army withdrawing troops was sounded not far away. The Northern Jin army enforced the orders and gradually began to retreat. Chu Ling naturally would not really want to offend Tuoba Yin at this time. Although it would be a good thing for them to take the opportunity to kill a deputy general. But if Tuoba Yin kept her promise and she went back on her word, it would be difficult to predict what the consequences would be.
"Xiao Shi, stop." Xiao Shi's sword was about to fall on the neck of the deputy general. When he heard Chu Ling's voice, he still stopped. He flew back to Chu Ling and stared at Tuoba Yin on the opposite side with vigilant eyes. The deputy general who escaped the disaster was still in shock and walked quickly to Tuoba Yin, "Prince..."
Tuoba Yin said in a deep voice: "Get out of the army tonight."
The deputy general was a little unwilling to accept it, but he could not violate Tuoba Yin's order. He just looked at Chu Ling and Xiao Feng unwillingly. If he could leave the Princess Shenyou, it would be a good thing. With the Princess Shenyou in hand, are you still afraid that Emperor Yongjia would not submit?
Chu Ling and Xiao Feng naturally saw his eyes, and Chu Ling even nodded and smiled politely at him. The deputy general gritted his teeth and whispered: "Prince, if you can keep the princess of God Bless..."
Tuoba Yin ignored his words and looked at Chu Ling, "Have you thought about how you want to escape by yourself?" Chu Ling didn't care and smiled, "At worst, let's fight again, King Shen, please?" Tuoba Yin looked down and looked at his back shoulder. Chu Ling did not show any mercy. She stabbed a blood hole in the back of her shoulder, and almost penetrated it directly to the front. Even though he immediately pointed the acupoint at that time, he could still feel blood slowly oozing out.
If there is another fight, the whole arm may be ruined.
In contrast, although Chu Ling, who suffered internal injuries, was in trouble, at least he was much better-looking. People who didn't know the truth might think that Chu Ling won this battle. In fact, it was probably just killing one thousand enemies and losing one thousand. But...
"Can you still fight?" Tuoba Yin asked.
Chu Ling smiled and said, "When it's time to fight, you can only fight. Who cares if you can? You have to be able to do it. Besides... I'm not good enough, isn't there Xiao Ci? Exchange, I'll kill you, the deputy general, it shouldn't be difficult for Xiao Ci to kill you?" Tuoba Yin was silent for a moment and said, "Forget it, you can go."
At this time, if you don’t leave, you will be a fool.
Chu Ling no longer hesitated, nodded to Xiao Shi, and they rushed towards Cangyun City. The general frowned in anger, "Prince, why let them go?" They were right to withdraw their troops, but they had to let those two people go without saying that they had to let those two people go. As long as the prince gave the order, those two people could not escape. Tuoba Yin was silent for a while, and then said lightly: "You may not be able to kill her."
The deputy general disagreed. The princess Shenyou was obviously injured internally and was not a man of iron. Could it be that he could escape the thousands of soldiers of the Clan? I heard that the late emperor neglected His Highness Shen for several years because of Princess Tianqi Lingxi. It was because he felt that he could not become a great man for a woman and a child. Now, can the worry of the late emperor really come true?
Tuoba Yin looked up at the direction where Chu Ling and Xiao Feng left.
Why did he let her go? He didn't know either. But no matter what it was for, this was the last time!
Seeing the two disappeared into the night, the deputy general didn't want to say anything more, but sighed with regret, "The prince withdraws the troops now, wouldn't the previous plan be ruined?" Tuoba Yin said lightly: "What's the hurry? Take a break and attack the city tomorrow morning! Cangyun's army is on guard against defense all night, and he will never rest better than us."
"Yes, Prince."
Chu Ling and Xiao Shi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they returned to the city. If Tuoba Yin was really determined to keep them, he wouldn't be completely unsure of escaping, but the price they had to pay would definitely hurt them very much. Xiao Shi couldn't help but say, "This King Chen of Northern Jin is a gentleman." Chu Ling smiled bitterly and said, "King Chen's character is indeed pretty good. But... I guess this time, and I must not fall into his hands again in the future."
Chu Ling was not sure why Tuoba Yin showed mercy, but he could guess a few points. But Chu Fuyi's reason was not that easy to use. If Tuoba Yin could let them go this time, he would not have a second time. If Tuoba Yin was really so kind and ruthless, he would not have to fight this battle. Leaving Zhongyuan early and returning to the pass to live in seclusion was the best strategy.
"Thank you for your hard work, please go back and rest. The people of Northern Jin will not wait too long." Chu Ling said.
Xiao Feng nodded and looked at Chu Ling and said, "The princess isn't going back yet?" Chu Ling shook her head, looked up at the city wall in front of her and said, "I have something to do." Ming Xuan and the group of girls were still thrown on it. I don't know if the girls in the battle just now were scared out of their courage.
When Chu Ling walked to the place where she had previously placed the girls, she did not see a group of girls crying in each other's faces. She swears to see the pairs of twinkling staring at her eyes, which scared her for a moment. The enemy had just retreated, and stood at the top of the city and looked at the North Jin camp where people were swaying not far away. Obviously, the soldiers of the Cangyun Army had not yet returned to the camp, so the soldiers of the Cangyun Army naturally could not rest and could only be vigilant at any time.
Chu Ling put the group of girls here to confirm that there would be basically no danger in this place. But the fact was beyond her expectations. The leading girls all looked a little embarrassed, and there were four corpses of the tribe lying not far from them.
There were only four people. If Chu Ling did it, I was afraid that a drop of extra blood would not flow out. But at this time, this area was covered with blood and traces of fighting. The mess and blood scars on the ground made people wonder if there had just been a big battle in this place, but the rest of the corpses were secretly disposed of, and only these four were left.
Of course this is impossible, because the four corpses on the ground are also covered with scars, and most of them are not hit by the vital points. There are even those who are injured by stones. One of them has a large blood hole in his forehead. Chu Ling suspected that this person should have been killed by stones rather than any scar on his body.
Look at these girls again. Ming Xuan, who has the highest martial arts skills, looked a little embarrassed but without any obvious scars. Several of them were all covered with scars. The most serious girl was sitting against the city wall. The wound on her right shoulder had been covered, but there was still blood on the white gauze.
Chu Ling walked over and quickly pointed several acupoints near her wound. The girl looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. Although her face was pale and her forehead was covered with cold sweat, she still looked at Chu Ling with joy, "Madam, I killed a member of the tribe."
Chu Ling reached out to touch her purple forehead and whispered: "It's done well, what's your name?"
The girl's eyes lit up and said, "My name is Qiurong, my surname is Qiu, and my name is Qiurong."
Chu Ling said: "It's done well, everyone is doing well." Hearing Chu Ling's praise, everyone was happy and even forgot about the panic after going to the battlefield for the first time.
Yes, in the hearts of these girls, they have already been on the battlefield. They never know that they can do many things without doing them. When they just saw the Cang Yunjun rushing over to the city, they were not really afraid.
They were all practicing in the Southern Army before, and the Clans were still quite terrifying in their minds. Mingxuan walked outside with Mingnuo, and was quite old and had a lot of knowledge. It was not difficult to deal with one or two Clans. But the other girls were immediately confused.
Fortunately, they were a lot of people, so they finally worked together to kill the person, although at least half of them were more or less injured.
I really tried my best to forget the fear and other things. But the feeling of fear and excitement afterwards made them at a loss. When they knew about this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard Chu Ling say "It's done well". The originally nervous mood seemed to relax suddenly.
Chu Ling stood up, patted Mingxuan on the shoulder and said, "It's already very late, everyone should go back and rest. If you are injured, hurry up and apply medicine to recuperate well."
A girl holding a knife couldn't help asking, "Madam, can we come tomorrow?"
Chu Ling looked at them and chuckled, "You can come if you want to. Those who are injured should be well maintained at home, don't worry."
"Yes, madam!"
After sending a group of girls back to rest, Chu Ling patrols the city tower. Mingnuo is very efficient in doing things, and many young and strong men have already gone up to the city tower to help. They may not be able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy to defend the city, but the defense of helping clean the battlefield and repair the city tower is still very neat. Moreover, with them, there is no need to worry that the Northern Jin people can attack at night, and the soldiers guarding the city can also take a break.
From afar, I saw Yun Xingyue squatting on the ground and bandage a soldier's wound. He had excellent medical skills and was able to deal with these ordinary injuries. Cangyun City did not lack doctors, and Cangyun Army did not lack military doctors. People came and went on the city tower to busy themselves. After Yun Xingyue bandaged the soldier's wound, she stood up and saw that there was no place around that needed his help. Then she sighed and patted her sleeves to leave.
"Young Master Yun." Chu Ling walked over and said.
Yun Xingyue immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chu Ling, and quickly came up and said, "I'm about to go find you, are you injured?"
Chu Ling smiled and said, "It's nothing serious."
Yun Xingyue's eyes were sunk, and she reached out to pull her wrist to take her pulse. After a moment, her face became more and more gloomy. She stared at Chu Ling for a while, then she silently took out a bottle of medicine from her sleeve and said, "Take it, take it well. >>

"I was so sad that I didn't nag any more than normal.
Chu Ling was very satisfied with his quietness. After all, she was very uncomfortable now and didn't want to hear someone chanting in her ears. She poured out a pill and swallowed it. Chu Ling felt much more comfortable. She nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Yun, the medicine works well."
Yun Xingyue rolled her eyes, with a look of "I don't want to talk to you". She was obviously numb to this patient who did not follow the doctor's advice.
"If Cangyun City will be broken tomorrow, what are you going to do?" Yun Xingyue asked.
Chu Ling sighed helplessly and said, "Why do Young Master Yun always like to ask such difficult questions?"
Yun Xingyue said: "This is not a dilemma, it is reality. You and I know that you can force Tuoba Yin to withdraw his troops once, but there is absolutely no second time. Cangyun's army cannot stop the next time the Northern Jin army enters the palace. If I were Tuoba Yin, I would go back and rest for a while and get up, I should attack Cangyun City in one go." Chu Ling was silent for a while, and then nodded and said: "You are right."
"so?"
Chu Ling looked at Yun Xingyue and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Yun Xingyue said: "Leave Cangyun City now."
"Escape at the last battle?" Chu Ling raised his eyebrows.
Yun Xingyue said: "This is not what I mean... This is what Jun Wuhuan means."
Chu Ling looked at Yun Xingyue for a long time and burst out laughing. Yun Xingyue said unhappily: "Why are you laughing!" Chu Ling shook her head and said, "I know Mr. Yun is kind, but... Jun Wuhuan will not say such words." Yun Xingyue frowned and said, "What do you think Jun Wuhuan should say? The city lord's wife and Cangyun City survived and died? Do you think Jun Wuhuan is so generous?" Yun Xingyue cannot guarantee which is more important in Jun Wuhuan's mind. But Jun Wuhuan will never want Princess Shenyou to bury Cangyun City, which has already been doomed to end. What's more, this time, Cangyun City's affairs should be Jun Wuhuan's mistake. If something happened to Chu Ling, Yun Xingyue would not dare to imagine what Jun Wuhuan would be like.
Looking at Yun Xingyue's serious expression, Chu Ling smiled helplessly and said, "Young Master Yun, don't be so serious. You can easily scare people like this. And... it doesn't match your style."
Yun Xingyue didn't bother to pay attention to her teasing and stared at her and said, "Do you have a way?"
Chu Ling smiled bitterly and said, "This time, there is really no location in Cangyun City... What can I do? I can't even die with the Northern Jin people." Cangyun City is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if it is really captured, it is difficult for people to have a way to turn the tables. Compared to face-to-face tough battles, Chu Ling is actually better at strategizing and controlling the general direction. She really has no good way to defend the city...
Yun Xingyue was a little disappointed, "What are you going to do?"
Chu Ling shrugged and said, "As I said before, I received the last moment. Don't worry, I am not impatient to live and will not seek death by myself. If this is something else, I might have planned to take people to abandon the city and retreat. But now, see where we can retreat? There is only one way to enter and exit Cangyun City, what else can I do besides guarding it?"
Yun Xingyue was silent for a long time before sighing and said, "It's probably because I've been used to watching so hard in the past few years, and I have forgotten..." There are really many powerless things in this world.
Jun Wuhuan, Jun Wuhuan, if you don’t come back, your wife might be gone.
Before the sky was dawn, the Northern Jin army rushed up again. This time the offensive was more fierce than any previous one. It was obvious that Tuoba Yin planned to take them down in one breath this time. The Southern Army of the Clan Cavalry... In the dark night in the morning, more than 100,000 people were almost invisible. Just now, the movement came from the direction of the Clan camp. Chu Ling, who was sitting in the city tower, closed his eyes and rested, immediately opened his eyes and rushed to the city wall. He looked indifferently at the Northern Jin army that was rushing down the city tower like a black tide without saying a word.
"It's finally here."
"Madam, the people of the Clan are rushing up!"
Chu Ling said in a deep voice: "Fight."
"war!"
The war drums sounded on the city tower, and the Cang Yun army guarding the city shouted in unison.
Countless rain of arrows shot from the city tower and rushed to the northern Jin army, but soon more people rushed up. This time, Tuoba Yin did not even simply let the Southern Army act as cannon fodder in front, but instead let the people of the Clan and the Southern Army attack the city together.
The soldiers of the Clan were obviously more well-trained than the Southern Army. Under the cover of the Southern Army's life, more Clan soldiers rushed to the downstairs smoothly. The huge rusher also advanced towards the city gate, and the catapult began to throw stones on the city tower from afar.
"No wonder Tuoba Yin's offensive has been continuing these days but has not done his best. I'm afraid he is waiting for these things." Xiao Shi stood beside Chu Ling and said in a deep voice. Local cities like Cangyun City do require such heavy siege equipment to be opened. Climbing with ordinary trenchers and cloud ladders is purely filled with human lives. Of course, Tuoba Yin has indeed filled many lives into Cangyun City these days. Unfortunately, most of them are the Southern Army, and the Clan members can only be a minority.
Chu Ling sighed and said, "I have been a serious murder in this life."
Xiao Shi looked at Chu Ling in surprise, "Does the princess still believe this?"
Chu Ling raised his hand and said, "It's not considered believing it or not, killing people...it's not that comfortable."
Xiao Shi said: "It's a pity that if I don't kill anyone, I will kill me. You can't continue to escape like I did back then, let alone where can I escape?"
Chu Ling nodded and said, "You are right, so... let others die."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Ling raised his hand and grabbed the arrow in the hand of an archer beside him, and set the arrow, opened the bow, and shot the arrow in one go!
The feather arrow did not shoot at anyone on the battlefield, and no one except Tuoba Yin, who was watching the battle behind the Northern Jin army, noticed Chu Ling's arrow.
Tuoba Yin naturally noticed it, but he didn't understand.
"What does she want to do?" Tuoba Yin frowned.
The next moment, the place where Chu Lingyu's arrow shot suddenly burst into flames. The flames quickly turned into big fires, and then quickly stretched in one direction, as if a fire snake was sliding rapidly on the ground. Chu Ling did not stop, but then shot three arrows in succession to different places. After each arrow, flames rose and spread rapidly. The fire dragon, which was ten feet wide, began to spread rapidly from four points. Soon Tuoba Yin discovered that these fire dragons would eventually form a circle, and just surrounded the main force of the northern Jin army in the center.
In such an open and flat place, you want to stop more than 100,000 people with just one fire?
Whimsical!
The deputy general beside Tuoba Yin sneered and ordered sternly: "Let me put out the fire, don't worry about it! Continue to attack the city!"
The sound of urging the palace behind the Northern Jin army sounded again, and not many people cared about such fire. So many people could crush the fire even if they were crushed by people.
However, the people on the city tower obviously did not think so.
To be continued...
