After Jiang Yuxuan readily agreed, he immediately followed everyone into the temporary command room.
Everyone sat down and Jiang Yuxuan asked: "How many troops are there in the city now?"
"Three thousand people."
"How many Xu Gong's troops are outside the city?" Jiang Yuxuan continued to ask.
"One army will attack our three gates in three groups. Xu Gong is at our west gate."
"Report, the south gate has been breached." A soldier ran in and reported.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuxuan stood up slowly and said: "In this case, it is meaningless to defend the city gate. Gather all the troops, avoid Xu Gong's sharp attack, and retreat eastward. Commander Murong, I am afraid that this battle will end your rear."
"No problem." Murong Yi said proudly.
"But..." Several flag leaders of the Essie Kingdom looked troubled.
Jiang Yuxuan knew that several flag leaders were worried that if they retreated like this, Aiqian City would fall. A kingdom, if the royal city was breached, would mean that the kingdom was destroyed. Such a crime could not be afforded.
"Don't think so much." Jiang Yuxuan said: "Save more than 3,000 troops, withdraw from the east gate, and go directly north to support your king. There may be a chance to rescue your king. In this way, at least there is a chance for the final battle."
After listening to Jiang Yuxuan's words, several flag commanders looked at each other, nodded and said, "Okay, let's retreat."
Everyone left the command room, immediately summoned the troops, and withdrew from the city gate. Following Jiang Yuxuan, they passed through the square inside the city gate and retreated eastward along Central Street.
Murong Yi led two regiments of troops, about 500 men, and followed the army, fighting and retreating at the same time.
Suddenly everyone retreated. Xu Gong outside the city suddenly couldn't find the massacre. He was puzzled and looked around.
"Legion Commander, the defenders of Essie City seem to have retreated." A soldier said to Xu Gong.
Aixian City is a royal city. I didn't expect that the army guarding the royal city was so bad. They retreated at the earliest opportunity.
Xu Gong searched around again and found no troops from the Kingdom of Essie. He was sure that they had really retreated, so he could only put away his bloodthirsty battle axe.
Unexpectedly, the royal city of Aiqi Kingdom was not very good. No one could be seen running away after beating him. He must be really afraid of himself. Xu Gong did not order the whole army to pursue him, but entered the city on his own and began to collect money and other items.
After exiting Aiqian City, Murong Yi led his army to join Jiang Yuxuan. After discussion, Jiang Yuxuan decided to attack Xiu Jie's southeast wing overnight.
Xiu Jie's army has surrounded Ma Xiaoke, but Ma Xiaoke keeps attacking to the southeast, so in the entire encirclement, Xiu Jie's southeast direction is the weakest.
However, this does not affect the entire battle situation. The encirclement and annihilation of Ma Xiaoke is already a certainty.
They had been fighting for several days, and Ma Xiaoke only had one banner left. The rest of the army was cut into several parts by Xiujie and was being eaten bit by bit, struggling to the death.
In the simple military camp, the medical staff accompanying the army were bandaging the wound on Ma Xiaoke's right arm.
"King, we have been surrounded. There is no other army in the kingdom. We have to rely on ourselves to break out." Fang Yue's face was expressionless, but his tone was extremely firm.
"Xiu Jie's fighting power is too strong." Ma Xiaoke said helplessly: "The last time I fought with Xiu Jie, I only parried without attacking. I only hit ten points and was defeated immediately."
Fang Yue said in a calm tone: "We definitely won't be able to break out together. The king will break out, and I will break up the rear. As long as we can withstand it for a while, with the king's fighting power, we may still have a chance to break out."
If you stay here to break up the queen, you will definitely die in battle. Ma Xiaoke looked at Fang Yue and said heroically: "Since we can't beat him, let's kill him together. I'll break out alone. What's the use? I still can't beat Xiujie."
"Report, King, Xiujie's army is in chaos in the southeast."
There has been no good news for a long time. The Xiujie Army is in chaos, which is undoubtedly the best news for now.
"Is it our army?" Fang Yue couldn't help but wonder.
Logically speaking, it is impossible to have an army of one's own now. Ma Xiaoke looked at the soldier who came up to report the news and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"
The soldier shook his head and said, "The specific situation is unknown. I only know that Xiujie's army is in chaos."
If you wait here, you will die. Now that you hear Xiujie's army commotion in the southeast, it is a good opportunity to break out.
Ma Xiaoke immediately stood up and said: "Gather the entire army and break out to the southeast."
Xiu Jie was in the military camp preparing to shrink the encirclement and annihilate Ma Xiaoke's army in one fell swoop. Suddenly he heard his army was in turmoil and his expression changed drastically.
"What, what's happening to the southeast?"
Hearing Xiu Jie's words, the soldiers around him immediately responded and went to inquire about the news. They soon came back and reported: "King, Ma Xiaoke's army was found in the southeast and is attacking us."
The southeast was in the direction of Aiqian City. Xiu Jie said angrily: "That should be the direction of Xu Gong. Why is there still Ma Xiaoke's army?"
Futuo came over, and after hearing about it, he said to Xiujie: "Aixian City has been captured by Xu Gong, but the troops in the city withdrew from Aixian City at the last moment. They must be the remaining troops in Aixian City."
Xiu Jie was furious: "Didn't Xu Gong say that he would kill all the troops in Aiqi City? This bastard will cause trouble for me."
After Futuo thought for a while, he said: "King, since what happened has happened, we can only find a way to eliminate that army. We must not let them take advantage of the chaos to help Ma Xiaoke inside break out."
"Since it is a remnant army, send an order to Leng Yue to lead a banner of troops to support the southeast and block Ma Xiaoke's way to break out."
As soon as Xiujie's order came out, Leng Yue immediately led the army to the southeast.
Murong Yi was leading his army to attack Xiu Jie's army. When he saw Leng Yue coming, he immediately mobilized two regiments of archers to form a formation and attack Leng Yue.
Leng Yue was blocked by Murong Yi, so she could only slow down her advance and attack while fighting.
After fighting for a long time and failing to break through Murong Yi's defense, Leng Yue became anxious and immediately led the army to attack in person.
After only a few steps, Leng Yue was shot by Murong Yi's arrow. Under the desperate protection of several soldiers around her, Leng Yue retreated to a safe place.
Leng Yue covered the wound on her left shoulder, and the medical staff immediately stepped forward to bandage Leng Yue.
"How does this person look like Murong Yi, the Shooter of Heaven?" Leng Yue said to herself in surprise.
"No way, Murong Yi can't be in the Aiqi Kingdom." said a flag leader next to him.
"It must be Murong Yi." Leng Yue said firmly: "Only Murong Yi in the entire Zhongzhou Continent has such fighting power. Hurry, go and report to the king."
"Yes." A soldier responded.
Leng Yue stood up and immediately ordered the entire army to divide into three groups to attack Murong Yi.
When Jiang Yuxuan was in the army and heard that Leng Yue had divided his troops into three groups, he immediately ordered the three banner commanders in Aiqian City to divide into three groups and defend their positions to resist Leng Yue's attack.
Ma Xiaoke fought his way out of the siege of Xiujie's army and happened to meet Murong Yi. He was shocked: "Commander Murong Army, why are you here?"
