C358 Withdrawal

The first batch of Army of Chu to attack the city gradually slowed down their horses, waiting for Ye Jiaze's orders. After all, no one wanted to see their brothers die so easily.

They hoped that Ye Jiaze could think of a better way. Although their steps were slow, the speed at which they could attack the city did not, and as if they were going to die, they charged forward righteously.

Xie Qingrong saw that the power of the arrow was almost enough, she lightly snapped her right finger, and said: Second hand preparations.

Jiang Yizhou was startled, how did he not know that Xie Qingrong had a second hand in preparation?

In the past few days, Xie Qingrong and his Mr. Clerk had been patrolling the area, rearranging the troops, and he had been learning from them every single step of the way, but he had never seen Xie Qingrong prepare to use her second hand.

The original two groups of archers had already retreated, exchanging blows with the other two groups of archers.

Each of them carried a small cloth sack containing five sharp arrows.

"Release the arrows!" Xie Qingrong said loudly.

The rain of arrows scattered everywhere as they flew towards Army of Chu. However, no one expected that the tips of these arrows would suddenly start to burn as they flew towards Army of Chu with raging flames.

Army of Chu not only had to take the risk of being shot, but also the risk of being burnt.

The flames of war immediately spread out, and the blazing flames burned intensely in the center of Army of Chu.

Bright flames like blood illuminated the dark sky.

As the fire grew fiercer and fiercer, the speed at which the Army of Chu was attacking the city gradually slowed down.

At this time, the battle drum sounded, and the surviving Army of Chu retreated, retreating far away from the fire.

Ye Jiaze's palm struck a large tree at the side, causing the branch to sway along with the yellow leaves to fall.

The decision to retreat this time was not because of his orders, but was because Gongsun Heng had sent a general who was by his side to supervise him.

In his heart, there was not only hatred towards Xie Qingrong, there was also hatred towards his brothers for their mistakes.

Ignoring Ye Jiaze's devouring gaze, he immediately ordered the soldiers who were beating the drum to ring the retreat drum.

After bringing the heavily injured soldiers back to the tent, Ye Jiaze grabbed General Yan Yi's sleeves and asked fiercely: "Why did you ignore this general's orders to retreat just now?"

Ye Jiaze stared at Yan Yi with his cold eyes. He wanted to hear what kind of reason Yan Yi could give him to retreat.

Otherwise, don't blame him for being merciless!

Yan Yi fiercely brushed Ye Jiaze's hand away from his collar and retorted expressionlessly, "Could it be that General Ye did not see the Heavenly Saint killing so many of our soldiers without wasting a single soldier? Didn't General Ye hear the screams of pain from the soldiers? "Under such circumstances, is General Ye still going to attack the city?"

Ye Jiaze's eyes flashed with ridicule, and laughed coldly: "Does General Yan not know that this general's rank is higher than yours by more than a level? General Yan actually refused to obey my order? "What crime should you take?"

Even a small general dared to refute his order! Today, he was enraged by Xie Qingrong, and coincidentally saw through the reckless Yan Yi.

Yan Yi seemed to have already guessed what Ye Jiaze was thinking and said disdainfully, "So General Ye's orders were to have the soldiers throw their lives away for nothing. If General Ye continues to play this reckless trick today, I believe that there will be more generals like General Ye to stop General Ye's decision! "

He was Gongsun Heng's trusted aide, he was not afraid of the so called Ye Jiaze, he was just a stray dog from the Heavenly Sage. His master only gave Ye Jiaze the chance to do so due to their previous friendship.

But unexpectedly, Ye Jiaze could not help but be arrogant and stupid, he was not even suitable to fight in a army.

It was no wonder that the son of the Prime Minister at that time, Gongsun Wenxuan, was called the number one handsome and elegant son of the Heavenly Sage.

It was a pity that he didn't even have the capital to do so, yet he still dared to clamor against him.

Do not think that he could not see the killing intent that was being directed at him from Ye Jiaze's eyes.

Killing him was simply a joke.

Ye Jiaze squinted his eyes, the killing intent in his eyes was getting stronger and stronger, but his hands had started to clap, as though he was appreciating what Yan Yi had said. However, only he himself knew that his urge to kill Yan Yi had grown stronger and stronger.

"I never thought that even though the official of the General Yan is not that big of a figure, he could still come to this conclusion. His Highness the crown prince's nurturing of the General Yan was not wasted."

Although Ye Jiaze wanted to kill Yan Yi, Yan Yi was Gongsun Heng's man. If he killed Yan Yi, even if there were reasons, Gongsun Heng would start to suspect him, and at that time, he would not be able to pay for it.

As a result, he swallowed the anger in his heart, but if he found a chance, he would definitely exterminate Yan Yi.

Thinking about this, Ye Jiaze pretended to be humble and asked: "Since General Yan thinks that this general's plan is wrong, then does General Yan have a better plan to deal with Jiang Zhou City's garrison soldier?"

Seeing that Ye Jiaze was willing to keep the peace on the surface, Yan Yi pretended to be calm and said: "Of course there is a way, I just do not know if General Ye can listen to what I have to say."

Ye Jiaze patted Yan Yi's shoulder, as though he was caring for his subordinate, and smiled: "General Yan has a plan, just be straightforward. "As long as we can capture the Jiang Prefecture, any strategy is fine!"

Yan Yi solemnly nodded his head, thought for a while, and said: "I wonder if General Ye will notice the arrows shot by the second batch of archers from Jiang Zhou City. The tips of these arrows actually began to burn in midair, creating a flame atop the tips of the arrows. "They caught our troops off guard."

"Although this lowly general does not know the principle behind the forging of arrows, he still believes that we can emulate his example and shoot flaming arrows towards the buildings of River City. The first group of people took the lead and blocked the bows of the city guards, while our archers released their arrows behind us. "

Although Ye Jiaze was not satisfied with Yan Yi's actions, he still listened to Yan Yi's suggestions a little. After pondering silently for a long time, he asked: "Can you ensure that our archers' archery range reaches the top of the Jiang Zhou City's city gate tower?"

Saying that, Yan Yi revealed a proud smile, obviously extremely confident in his soldiers.

"Of course. The 50,000 men and horses given to General Ye by the Crown Prince had been carefully trained. After all, Jiang Prefecture was a tough nut to crack, and the city walls were built to be easy to defend and hard to attack. "With such a short distance between us, I am confident that our warriors can do it!"
