In the dense forest.

Chen Fei reported to Xiao Tianyuan, "General Xiao, everyone has already covered their mouths and noses with charcoal and wet cloths as per your orders. When are we going to rush out?"

Xiao Tianyuan looked at him and said, "Everyone, don't be impatient. I have a few things I want you all to do."

"Please give your instructions, General Xiao."

"Chen Fei, you will be responsible for leading 5000 people to collect the branches. Thirty thousand branches must be prepared, and it must be completed before the time is up."

Puzzled, Chen Fei asked, "General Xiao, we are here to kill the enemy, why would we do such a thing?"

Xiao Tianyuan's face sank, "These are military orders, go and carry them out immediately." He then looked at the two of them, "If you are unable to complete your orders when the time comes, kill them all!"

"Yes …" Chen Fei accepted the order and left.

Xiao Tianyuan looked around as an idea formed in his mind.

Nan Yu Lan slowly approached him and said in a low voice: "I really can't tell that you have some skill in waving your fingers at the army."

"Miss Nan, you're wrong. The army is outside, and I, as a general, have already suffered defeat because I underestimated my enemy. Now, not only do I have to lead my soldiers out of the encirclement, I have to think of all means possible to protect their lives." But unfortunately … This time, I have lost so many soldiers. Xiao Tian Yuan sighed. It was unknown if it was because of the injury or because of the pain, but his brows were tightly locked together.

Nan Yu Lan sneered coldly, "You are now severely injured, and the military order has already been issued. You should rest first, lest we implicate everyone when the Hou army breaks out of the siege."

Xiao Tianyuan found it a little funny to say it in such a tone even though he knew that he meant well. His lips curled up, but he didn't say anything.

Outside the forest, Li Qiming's army had surrounded the forest. Once Xiao Tian Yuan and his men appeared, they were going to stop them and kill them.

The soldier couldn't wait any longer and asked, "General, why aren't they coming out yet? Did they all die in the jungle?"

"Xiao Tianyuan is a hero after all. He would rather die in the forest than bring his soldiers out to surrender. I would have rather admired him!" Li Qiming stood up and said, "Although the forest is filled with miasma, Xiao Tian Yuan's army still has twenty thousand men, I'm afraid they won't be able to die in a short period of time. We'll just surround them and wait patiently.

"Yes, General, we will definitely protect him well. If any enemies rush out, we will absolutely not leave him alive."

Soon, the sky turned dark. Chen Fei and Liu An both came forward and reported, "General Xiao, we have completed our mission. When will the army leave?"

In the darkness of the night, Xiao Tianyuan's eyes burned like a fire as he calmly gave the order, "Chen Fei, lead a group of people out. We will only meet face to face with the enemy outside the forest and then retreat."

Chen Fei accepted the order. "Yes."

Chen Fei led a group of soldiers and rushed to the east side of the jungle.

"General, look! Someone's rushing out!" When the soldiers beside Li Qiming saw this, they couldn't help but shout out.

Li Qiming sneered, "Xiao Tianyuan, you have so much guts. You were clearly injured by my sword, yet you still dare to charge out. I think he doesn't want to live anymore!" As he spoke, he rushed his horse forward and when he saw who it was, he was stunned and asked: "What about Xiao Tian Yuan, is he dead? Do you think you can escape my heavy encirclement?"

"Li Qiming, stop acting crazy. I'm General Xiao's deputy general, Chen Fei. I'll come and fight you today!" Chen Fei raised the long saber in his hand as he rode out.

"Xiao Tian Yuan is not even my opponent, can you do it?" Li Qiming simply did not place Chen Fei in his eyes. Before he hit the horse, he aimed a sword attack at Chen Fei.

Chen Fei raised his sabre and the two of them fought. Li Qiming's swordsmanship was very high. After only a single exchange, Chen Fei already felt a strong pressure. As the swords and sabers clashed, his horse took a few steps back, causing him to almost fall off his horse. He was shocked in his heart. No wonder General Xiao was injured. Li Qiming's martial arts were indeed extraordinary!

Seeing that Chen Fei was not his opponent, Li Qiming laughed loudly, "Die!" Another sword swung over, this time hitting Chen Fei's helmet. Luckily, Chen Fei dodged quickly, if he was a little slower, his ears would have been cut off.

Seeing that the situation was not looking good, Chen Fei quickly retreated and shouted, "Retreat!"

Li Qiming hurriedly chased after him. "Don't let any of them go." Soldiers rushed forward, shouting, morale high.

Chen Fei's underlings heard the order and desperately retreated into the forest. Li Qiming definitely wouldn't let Chen Fei off. He quickly ordered his underlings to chase after him.

"General, they're retreating into the forest!"

"We can't let them retreat into the forest! We have to stop them now!" Li Qiming ordered, "Quickly catch up to them." As he spoke, he took the lead in charging forward. Seeing the marshal in such a state, the soldiers also rushed forward as well.

As they were approaching the dense forest, Chen Fei shouted, "Everyone retreat into the forest!" Li Qiming's army couldn't retreat in time and chased into the forest. Just as he was in pursuit, he suddenly heard the sound of a beating drum. Li Qiming looked around in confusion, but he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Instead, he said to the soldiers, "Everyone, be careful!" Seeing the army's flag flying in front of him, Li Qiming was shocked.

"General, it seems like the enemy is ambushing us!"

It was at this moment Hou Hou suddenly heard someone shout, "Release the arrows!"

Countless arrows came from three different directions in the forest, and the sounds of the arrows never stopped. Many soldiers were caught off guard and fell to the ground as they were hit by the arrows. Li Qiming rode his horse to the left and to the right to block, blocking quite a number of arrows. His ears were filled with the unceasing miserable shrieks of the soldiers!

"Run, run!" A soldier shouted loudly and retreated out of the forest. His shout attracted a lot of soldiers, who ran out with him. Their morale was in chaos!

Li Qiming was angered to the extreme, "You're not allowed to run! "Kill those who disobey!" However, how could the soldiers be willing to listen to him and run away? Li Qiming angrily stepped forward and used his sword to cut down the fleeing soldier.

The deputy general behind him came forward and said in panic, "Great General, there are ambushing soldiers on all three sides, let's retreat."

Seeing that the situation had turned for the worse, Li Qiming could only order the soldiers under him, "Pass down the order, the army will retreat quickly." After receiving the order, everyone retreated, but they did not expect another accident to happen!

Chen Fei, who had previously been defeated, led a group of soldiers to surround them from the entrance of the jungle, blocking their way.

Li Qiming's pupils began to contract, "Chen Fei!"

"That's right!" Today is the day you die! " Chen Fei sneered and raised his broadsword. "Attack!" All the soldiers of the station rushed towards Li Qiming.

Li Qiming shouted loudly. He raised his sword and stabbed forward. Chen Fei shouted, "Kill!" Then he stepped forward. However, Li Qiming's martial arts was very powerful, and Chen Fei was not his opponent. He was defeated after a few rounds, and at this time, another person came out of the forest. This person was someone Li Qiming recognized. He was the person who had been struck by his sword today, Xiao Tianyuan.

"Xiao Tianyuan, you're not dead yet?" Li Qiming was greatly surprised.

Xiao Tian coldly snorted, "If you don't die, how would I dare to die?"

"You're courting death!" Li Qiming shouted loudly, as if he wanted to charge forward.

"Wait!" Xiao Tianyuan waved his hand: "Li Qiming, you already have nowhere else to go. If you are willing to surrender, I will definitely not take your life!"

"Humph!" Li Qiming sneered, "Who do you think I am? I am a great general of the Beiyue Country, why would I surrender to you? If you have the ability, come and kill me! "

"Good!" Then I, Xiao Tianyuan, will come meet you again! " Xiao Tian Yuan rushed forward.
