This made Yan Ze heave a long sigh of relief, his excitement was overflowing from his words. He first praised Peng He, and gave him a great achievement, then with a smile on his face, he asked Wang Yi: "Old General Wang, now that Shangguan Yuan has been severely injured, his life and death is unknown, and his Feng Army has been defeated, why not take advantage of the situation to go back and kill him, and catch him off guard!"
Wang Yi also saw that Shangguan Yuan had suffered from an arrow wound on his neck, but he was not as optimistic as Yan Ze. Even if Shangguan Yuan had truly been killed, the main force of his Feng Army was still around, if the other party continued to defend the encampment, his own forces would not be able to gain any advantage. He shook his head and said, "The enemy's main force is still around, so it's not appropriate for us to attack rashly. We might as well wait and see before making any plans!"
Yan Ze was extremely respectful to Wang Yi, and had listened to his words. Although he felt that it would be a waste not attacking until the end, he still listened to Wang Yi's advice, and ordered for the entire army to not leave the city to chase after the enemy.
As for Shangguan Yuanyuan, he was carried back to the Feng Army Camp by a large number of soldiers. Just as he entered the camp, the unconscious Shangguan Yuan's body trembled, and he pushed all the soldiers who were carrying him away. Soon after, he stood up and asked the soldiers on his left and right: "Did the Ning army chase them out of the city?"
No one answered, everyone stood on the spot dumbfounded, their eyes were as wide as copper bells, staring at Shangguan Yuanyang as if they were looking at a ghost. At this moment, Shangguan Yuanyu's appearance was also quite frightening. Standing up on the ground, with a shining steel arrow stuck in his neck, the scene was both weird and terrifying.
Seeing that there was no response from the surrounding people, Shangguan Yuan was about to ask another question. At this time, someone said with a laugh: "The Ning Army did not chase them out of the city, so General Yuan need not worry, this is all within my expectations." The person who spoke was none other than the commander of the Sanshui Army, Liang Qi.
When Liang Qi walked up to Shangguan Yuan and saw the steel arrow on his neck, he was shocked as well.
Shangguan Yuan felt his neck following Liang Qi's line of sight, and realised that the steel arrow was still there, he sneered, he retracted his hand and grabbed the steel arrow, then pulled it out fiercely, he waved his hand and threw it on the ground, and said haughtily: "Such insignificant skill, how can you harm me?!" Peng He's Spirit Arrow was very strong, but it was far inferior to Jiang Fan's Spirit Arrow. Even Jiang Fan's Spirit Arrow could not hurt Shangguan Yuan at all, let alone his.
When Peng Yihong's arrow shot over, Shangguan Yuan had already dispersed the spirit armor around his neck into a mist of spirit mist. The moment the Spirit Arrow was about to pass through the mist, Shangguan Yuan immediately activated the Spirit Armored Materialization, and the mist of spirit energy immediately materialized and clamped tightly onto the Spirit Arrow's arrow.
On the surface, it looked like the Spirit Arrow had hit Shangguan Yuan's neck and nailed him firmly onto the ground, but in reality, it had only been caught by the spirit armor and had not harmed his skin at all. Of course, it was easy to say but it was too difficult and too dangerous to do it. There were people in this world who could do it, but not many dared to do so. If they were slightly slower, the arrow would have pierced through their necks.
The reason why Shangguan Yuan was willing to take such a huge risk to be shot at deliberately, was also because of Liang Qi's intention. The enemy feared Shangguan Yuan and did not dare to leave the city to fight, so if Shangguan Yuan suffered serious injuries in front of everyone, the enemy would have no more reservations and the possibility of being shot out of the city was very high.
Now that Ning Jun Wu Yi did not take advantage of the situation to chase after his victory, Liang Qi had long anticipated this. When Tang Yin had sent his Eagle Army, he did not fall for the trap at all, which meant that the Commander was definitely a very cautious and smart person, but he still had other tricks up his sleeve.
Waiting for the main force of the Sanshui Army to return to the camp, Liang Qi immediately gave Shangguan Yuan a team of two thousand cavalrymen, and had him sneak out from behind the camp and hide in a secluded place near the South of City. On the other hand, he ordered the entire army to pack up and prepare to retreat, but he did not open up the camp for his retreat.
That day went by without a word. The next day, he sent a few generals over to the Feng City to fight with a bluff. His Feng City had yet to fully understand the situation of the Feng Army, and he did not know whether Shangguan Yuan was letting them go or not, so he did not send anyone out to meet them, nor did he continue to hold his ground. Waiting until the early hours of the morning, Liang Qi led the main force of Sanshui Army and quietly left the camp, borrowing the cover of the night to quickly retreat towards the Tong Gate.
At this time, even Bai Yong could not figure out what Liang Qi's intentions were. If they were to retreat to the Tong Gate, then why would they let Shangguan Yuan hide in the vicinity of the Feng City? If it was said that Liang Qi did not plan to return to the Tong Gate, then looking at the speed at which he was directing the army, he was definitely not walking at a slow pace, but retreating at full speed!
No matter how covert the movement was, it would not be able to escape the eyes of the scouts of Ning Jun. Very quickly, the scout from Ning Jun brought back the news of Feng Army's retreat. Hearing the news, Yan Ze's spirits were lifted, he anxiously gathered all the generals, and discussed about what to do.
Wang Yi did not immediately express his opinion, but said: "General, why don't we go up to the top of the city to take a look?"
"Alright then!"
Yan Ze nodded in agreement.
With Yan Ze in the lead, all the generals of the Ning Army quickly arrived at the top of the city walls of the Eastern City, raising their heads to look outside. At this time, the sky was already starting to brighten up, and the Feng Army Camp was clearly visible. The banners and armors were all in use, and the atmosphere was extremely imposing. Wang Yi slowly frowned, he turned and asked: "Where is the spy?"
"I'm here!" The scout from the Ning Army who had reported to the city hurried forward and bowed to pay his respects.
Wang Yi said coldly: "Men, drag this thief out and kill him!" As soon as he gave the order, two Ning soldiers immediately came forward and grabbed the scout's arms, preparing to leave the city.
Seeing that, the scouts' faces turned pale with fright, and they screamed: "Unjustly accused! "General, this lowly one is innocent and innocent …"
"Unjustly accused?" Wang Yi laughed coldly, pointed at the Feng Army Camp outside of the city, and said: "The Wind Camp is still here, and the army is still here.
The scout was sweating so hard that it rained down from the sky. In a trembling voice, he said, "This lowly one saw with my own eyes that the Feng Army was retreating towards the Tong Gate.
Wang Yi looked at the spy for a long time, then burst out laughing and waved his hand, causing the armored guard to let go of the spy. Then, he turned around and looked at Feng Army Camp again, his eyes rolling as he cupped his hands towards Yan Ze and said, "Congratulations General, Feng Army has retreated!"
Yan Ze and the surrounding clan officers were all stunned. Didn't the truth already appear in front of them? With Feng Army Camp here, the Feng Army inside was also there. Even the huge Commander Flag in the middle of the camp was clearly visible, why was it that even Wang Yi was acting like a spy, and also said that the Feng Army has retreated?
Seeing that Yan Ze and the rest of the generals were confused, Wang Yi laughed: "It's already morning, and the army is still cooking, General do you think Feng Army Camp can help you smoke?"
Hearing this, Yan Ze and the rest were secretly shocked, and turned to look towards the Wind Camp at the same time. Indeed, although there were many armors and flags stuck all over, there was not even a place for them to smoke. No wonder he felt that something was off about the Feng Army Camp, it was because the camp was filled with a deathly atmosphere.
Wang Yi continued to speak: "This general dares to assert, the current Feng Army Camp is already an empty camp, and since the Main Force of Feng Army has retreated, it means that even if Shangguan Yuan did not die, he was still severely injured, and his soldiers' morale is definitely low. General, right now is the chance to hunt down the enemy, we cannot let the Feng Army go back to Tong Gate like this!"
When Yan Ze heard this, his eyebrows lifted in delight. The time to build his own career had finally come, and just as he was about to give the order for the entire army to leave the city to chase after Feng Army, Wang Yi rolled his eyes, and said: "General can first send a group of people over to Feng Army Camp to investigate!"
"Yes!" The old general is right! " Yan Ze asked his subordinate Member: "Which general is willing to come out of the city and investigate?"
"This lowly general is willing to go!" Following the loud voice, a General of Ning Country walked forward and interfered.
Yan Ze nodded, and sent him five thousand elite soldiers to prepare Feng Army Camp before leaving the city. After the General of Ning Country led the Ning Army and carefully entered the Feng Army Camp, there was no one left alive. They were all Straw Man s, and after carefully inspecting through the Feng Army Camp, this General of Ning Country finally confirmed that Wang Yi's speculations were correct. He did not dare delay any longer, and immediately sent people to quickly run back to Feng City to report to Yan Ze about the situation.
After hearing the General of Ning Country's report, it was as if Yan Ze had been stung. They were unwilling to let go of the opportunity to beat a drowning dog, so Yan Ze led his army and rushed out of the Feng City, chasing after Sanshui Army who was retreating.
However, Wang Yi was careful, and especially reminded Yan Ze not to bring out all of his troops, and to leave ten thousand soldiers to guard the Feng City. Yan Ze did not dare to be careless, and stayed within the Feng City to guard the ten million army.
On the other side, Shangguan Yuan had already prepared himself to lead two thousand cavalrymen to attack. Currently, they were hiding in a depression in the ground, five miles away from the Feng City. Because they were cavalrymen, five miles could only be covered in an instant.
After knowing that Ning Jun had already left the city, Shangguan Yuan's face lit up, at the same time he was secretly impressed, Liang Qi's scheme was truly powerful, he had actually managed to lure Ning Jun out.
He silently waited with his Member. Back then, Liang Qi had told him that he could only launch a sneak attack after Main Force of Ning Army left the city for at least six hours. Six hours was not a long time, but to the current Shangguan Yuan, every second was incredibly long.
He felt that he had already waited long enough. He asked a thousand-man commander beside him, "Right now, have the Ning Army left the city for six hours?"
The Captain smiled bitterly as he cupped his hands and replied, "General Yuan, it has only been an hour!"
"Why is it so slow!" Shangguan Yuan mumbled to himself as he fell to the ground and closed his eyes to rest.
Finally, after waiting bitterly for six hours, without stopping, Shangguan Yuan jumped onto his horse, unsheathed his sword, and pointed towards the Feng City. He shouted: "Brothers, follow me into the Feng City, if we meet an enemy, none will be left! "Kill —"
