Once the arrow had shattered, it was hard to guard against, but its power had also decreased significantly. If it was against a normal expert, it would still be able to kill the opponent, but towards Shangguan Yuan, the fragment of the An Soul Arrow could only be nailed to his spirit armor, it could not pierce through.

Even using the An Soul Arrow had failed, Jiang Fan could not think of any other method to harm Shangguan Yuanyang. He looked deeply at his opponent, and without saying a word, he suddenly used Shadow Shift and flew back to his own side. He shouted to his own troops who were still in shock: "Retreat!" With that, he took the lead and headed into the city. The Peng Soldier Warriors seemed to have woken up from a dream. With a whoosh, they followed Jiang Fan and rushed into the city.

"Hey!" "Jiang Fan, you and I are not finished yet, why are you running?" Seeing that Jiang Fan had returned to the city, Shangguan Yuan was not willing to let him go, he chased after him, but before he had gone far, arrows had already rained down from above, causing Shangguan Yuan to have difficulty taking another step forward.

"Hmph!" "A scoundrel was indeed a scoundrel. Even if he had all the skills in his body, he would still be a cowardly tortoise!" Shangguan Yuan let out an indignant sneer and retreated back to his own camp with his sabre.

Seeing that he was back, with countless pieces of Spirit Arrow still stuck into his body, all the generals gathered around him and asked in unison, "General Yuan, are you hurt?" "Haha?" Shangguan Yuan smiled and said proudly, "How can a mere scoundrel like you hurt me?!" With that, he parted the crowd and walked towards Tang Yin, interfering and bowing, he spoke sternly: "Master, if it was not for Jiang Fan escaping fast, I would have killed him with my blade!" Whoosh! Seeing that Shangguan Yuan was fine, Tang Yin heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Yuan Yu was fine, then everything was fine. He nodded with relief and said with a smile, "It's been hard on you. Go back to your camp and rest!" "Rest?" Shangguan Yuan let the spirit armor scatter from his body and with a swoosh, all the fragments of the golden arrows fell to the ground. He furrowed his brows and asked, "Sir, do we not still need to attack East of City?" "Let's return to camp first and fight another day!" According to the original plan, Tianyuan Army would go against the enemy's cursing from South of City and suppress the enemy's morale, at the same time, raise their own aura, and then attack together. They would forcefully attack Zhangyu's Eastern City and North City, but as Hao Zhao and Jiang Fan fought, Tang Yin had no choice but to re-evaluate his battle strength.

Shangguan Yuan was unwilling to give up at this point. He shook her head and said urgently, "Sir, there is no need to worry too much. I am willing to take the lead!" Tang Yin smiled slightly, and said: "There's no need to rush, the Zhangyu City is just right there, are you afraid it will fly? "We'll go back to the camp and think it over." After saying that, he waved her hand to the left and right, saying, "Retreat!" He gave the order to the army, and Shangguan Yuan had no other choice but to follow Tang Yin back to their camp reluctantly.

Right now, Tang Yin was not as optimistic as before. Forget about the battle strength of the Peng Soldier, just the strength of the Peng Army could not be underestimated.

Hao Zhao and Jiang Fan were both outstanding fighters, especially Jiang Fan, even if his strength was weaker than Shangguan Yuan, it was still not comparable. Adding that there were still powerful experts like Zui Fengjian and Zhan Wudi within the city, if they were to forcefully attack, it would be difficult for them to gain an advantage, not to mention that Zhan Hu was injured right now, and they had lost a strong general, so they might end up suffering a huge loss. Tang Yin's character was also extremely arrogant, but that was because he had the ability to be so arrogant. Right now, he didn't have any confidence, and he had become more cautious as well.

Returning to the Central Army Tent, Tang Yin stood in the tent with his hands behind his back, silent. The generals stood at their sides, looking at each other in dismay, not daring to speak rashly.

Tang Yin pondered in his heart, and suddenly felt that it was kind of funny. They had traveled all the way south, attacking and plundering the stronghold, with an unstoppable force, but no one was able to stop them. He raised his head to look at Xiao Muqing and, and asked: "General Xiao, General Zi Ying, if our troops attack the city now, what percentage of certainty would we have in winning?" Following Tang Yin's question, everyone's gaze turned to Xiao Muqing and Zi Ying.

"This …" Xiao Muqing looked troubled, and said in a low voice: "At the moment, Zhangyu City is not weak, and there are many soldiers and elites amongst them. If we attack forcefully, it will be difficult to obtain victory." Zi Ying nodded his head. Fortunately, Xiao Muqing was not someone who only knew how to flatter and fawn on others. He cupped his hands and said, "Master, General Xiao is right. Right now, our army is not suited to attack by force." "What about you two?" "After the arrival of the Sanshui Army and the Chifeng Army, our army will attack the city with all our strength. We will definitely be able to break through the defenses of the Zhangyu." Zi Ying replied.

Tang Yin sighed and asked Le Tian, "Where are the Sanshui Army?" Le Tian replied, "We have already entered the Gaochuan County. According to the time taken, we should be close to the Lishan City by now." Sanshui Army and Chifeng Army together have more than three hundred thousand soldiers. If so many people want to cross Pan River, who knows how much time will be wasted. Could it be that we will have to wait here forever? " Tang Yin asked.

This was exactly what Shangguan Yuan wanted to ask. He nodded his head and echoed, "Your Excellency is right. We can't sit in the camp and wait for such a long time!" Xiao Muqing rolled his eyes, faintly smiled, and said: "Waiting is also a good thing!" Shangguan Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?" Xiao Muqing laughed and said: "General Yuan Yu, you must know that we are much more anxious about Zhangyu than you." Seeing that Tang Yin was listening intently, he continued to say: "Zhangyu is now a lonely city, without any help, and our main force has not arrived yet, the reinforcements have not stopped flowing, the longer we drag it out, the better it will be for our army. If the rebel army leader Zhong Tian does not wish to sit in the city and wait for death to come, they will have to think of a way to deal with it, this is our chance." Shangguan Yuan was still confused by his words. He shouted in dissatisfaction, "If you have anything to say, say it in one go. Don't stutter so much that people can't understand it." Xiao Muqing laughed and said: "Simply put, if we continue delaying, the rebel soldiers within the Zhangyu City will take the initiative to attack us, and sneak attack our army's main camp." "Oh?" Hearing this, Shangguan Yuan's eyes lit up as he hurriedly asked, "Which camp will they attack?" Xiao Muqing thought for a moment, smiled, and pointed to his own feet, saying: "If I'm not wrong, it should be here!" "Here?" That's right! "If the rebel army did not attack, they would definitely strike at the vital points and sneak attack the Lord's troops." " Xiao Muqing's words were filled with confidence, as if he knew what to expect.

Shangguan Yuan was also taken aback. After thinking about it carefully, he took a deep breath and said, "We don't have many troops on Central Army Tent side, huh!" The encampment was set up by Zi Ying, and the distribution of the manpower was also arranged by Zi Ying. Although it looked like a flag that was spread out over the entire place, the camp was filled with an imposing manner, but in reality, it was all an illusion. The amount of troops that were placed in was not high, and it was only a few thousand.

Zi Ying frowned, and looked at Xiao Muqing.

I think the rebel army will be able to see through this. As long as we continue to delay it, the rebel army will take the initiative to attack us, and our central army will naturally become the target of the enemy, so we should give him a strategy to lure the enemy in, and as long as the enemy leaves the city, and fight us head on, with our army's strength, we will definitely win. " Zhan Wushuang could see that their army's forces were empty? Zi Ying had his doubts about this, but he could not let this matter go easily. Furthermore, Xiao Muqing had spoken with such certainty that he did not have any doubts in his heart.

Tang Yin took a deep breath, looked around at the people and asked: "Everyone, what do you think of General Xiao's analysis?" Zi Ying did not say anything, but Shangguan Yuan cupped his hands and said: "I think what the General Xiao said is reasonable. If the enemy really takes the initiative to leave the city, it will be beneficial to our army." Xiao Muqing laughed on the side, which was strange and cunning.

Tang Yin frowned, but did not say much. After pausing for a moment, he nodded and said: "Alright, we'll follow General Xiao's view, our army will stay in the camp for a period of time, and wait to see what happens." Yes! "My lord!" This time, no one had any objections, and they all stepped in to pay their respects.

After the payment, Tang Yin called for Xiao Muqing to stay behind. When the others had walked out of the camp, Tang Yin asked, "General Xiao, will Peng Army really sneak attack our central army?" Xiao Muqing was an old soldier. In terms of military doctrine and research on military strategy and books, he was far inferior to generals like Liang Qi, Peng Haochu and Zi Ying. However, he was sharp, cunning and was extremely astute.

He first laughed, then sighed lightly, and told Tang Yin the truth: "It might be, it might not be." Tang Yin couldn't help but roll his eyes. He was so sure about what he said just now, but how did he become so imprecise in the blink of an eye?

Seeing Tang Yin's dissatisfaction, Xiao Muqing immediately explained: "Master, as you can see from the enemy's strength, if we were to force our way through, it would be difficult for us to win. The reason why I said that to you just now was mainly to stabilize the mood of our soldiers, so that they could patiently wait for our reinforcements. Also, it is not impossible for the enemy to ambush us after we leave the city. Oh, I see! After Tang Yin heard this, he secretly nodded his head, as he admired Xiao Muqing's meticulous thinking. Thinking back now, Xiao Muqing said this to stabilize Shangguan Yuan. Otherwise, with's personality in the future, he would never let things go so easily.
