"General, please calm down. I have learned from my subordinates that the latest news is that General Yan from Frost City is rushing here at full speed. The remnants of the dynasty currently have only 30,000 troops in total. If..."
"Shao Qiang, there are 50,000 remnants of the Jiang Dynasty, but now there are only 30,000 on the surface. How can I feel at ease?"
Next to Wei Xian was a school captain named Zhou Shaoqiang.
"General, my subordinates have a plan to test whether the five thousand Jiang Dynasty remnants who are less than twelve kilometers away from our army are actually bait."
Zhou Shaoqiang once again advised Wei Xian.
"speak."
Wei Xian, now he feels upset.
"General, we can feign an attack and give the remnants of the five thousand Jiang Dynasty the illusion that we will attack them with all our strength. This way we don't have to put ourselves in danger, and we can even force out the ten thousand people hiding in the dark." Five thousand troops."
Zhou Shaoqiang said with a smile.
Wei Xian, after thinking for a moment, thought it would be a good idea.
"Okay, Shao Qiang, you will lead the troops. You must do everything you can to bring me the soldiers and horses hidden in the dark and force them to show up."
In less than half a day, the ten thousand cavalry stationed in Frost City will arrive here to join them.
The best way to rescue the besieged 10,000 dynasty troops is to have no worries. What worries Wei Xian the most is the missing 15,000 troops.
After a fierce battle, the dynasty went from 50,000 troops to less than 30,000 now, and Jiang Chao also sacrificed 5,000 during this period.
The total strength now is less than 45,000.
Fighting has been like this since ancient times. Kill a thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses.
Today, Jiang Chao's achievements can be called brilliant.
However, the five thousand Jiang Dynasty restoration warriors who were stationed at the desperate position were inevitably a little nervous at this time.
You must know that their current situation is similar to that of the dynasty's 10,000 troops stationed less than ten miles away from them.
Enemy from both sides.
Once a battle breaks out, it will be a last-ditch battle, and there may even be a risk of the entire army being annihilated.
"Chief Ginger Bear, what should we do now? Do you think Chief and others will give up on us?"
"Don't give yourself any hint that before the war happens, anything is possible."
Originally, the five thousand soldiers and horses were commanded by Jiang Yin this time, but Jiang Xiong took the initiative to ask for help, and Jiang Tian also complied with Jiang Xiong's request.
These five thousand soldiers and horses were actually exposed deliberately and used as bait.
The purpose is to catch the two big fish stationed in Jiannan Mansion and Frost City.
They face the risk of destruction at any time.
In the central area, the defeated generals with less than 10,000 troops could not help but be ecstatic when they learned that there was a team of 5,000 people ahead.
They had just suffered a defeat, and all the soldiers hoped to make a turnaround.
"Young Master Yang, all the soldiers are suddenly in high spirits. I hope we can make a turnaround."
"Oh? A war? Even though there are only five thousand warriors of the Restoration, I'm afraid they can trample on their last dignity. Let's wait a little longer."
"yes."
Yang Feng planned to wait for Xu Liuo to come back before making a decision.
After a while, a voice sounded outside the coach's tent.
"Young Master Yang, I'm back."
It's Xu Liu.
"Well, has the news been conveyed? Where are the garrison troops from Jiannan Mansion and Frost City?"
Yang Feng was not polite.
"Excuse me, Mr. Yang, everything has been conveyed in place, and the cavalry stationed at Jiannan Mansion has arrived. It is about five miles away from where Jiang Tian and others are stationed."
"Five miles? Then Jiang Tianke brought someone to fight with him?"
"We haven't fought yet, and the other side doesn't know their existence yet, but the five thousand Restoration warriors you called to stop are exposed to their sight. Fortunately, they are twelve miles away, and there is enough time to prepare. Just wait.
You give the order. "
When Xu Liu spoke, he was also a little excited.
"This is perfect. Who is the leader stationed in Jiannan Mansion?"
"The partial general, Wei Xian, followed Huang An in the southern and northern wars. He imitated Huang An's fighting style very well throughout his life. Therefore, he may have guessed that there was a mutiny in the dynasty."
The information Xu Liu inquired about was very detailed, because this is a necessary quality for a killer.
"Hmm, Wei Xian must have guessed that this is a trap, but because the fifteen thousand men under Jiang Tian's command have not been exposed yet, he is waiting for support from Frost City."
Based on the information provided by Xu Liu, Yang Feng also guessed Wei Xian's next move.
"Young Master Yang, what I'm going to do next is..."
"Spread rumors among the army to make them suspicious. If necessary, reveal Jiang Chao's secrets to them."
The imperial army still had ten thousand soldiers, even if they were defeated, and it was not convenient for Yang Feng to personally suppress them.
"yes."
Xu Liu understood Yang Feng's intentions. To be honest, since he got involved with Yang Feng, everything Yang Feng did shocked Xu Liu deeply.
Whether it was swordsmanship or military affairs, Yang Feng never followed the routine.
The five thousand warriors of the restoration of the country have, to a certain extent, become meat on someone else's chopping block. Unfortunately, the control lies in the hands of Yang Feng.
The imperial army was located only a few dozen miles away from the 5,000 restoration warriors. After contacting Wei Xian's army, nearly 20,000 troops were still afraid of a mere 5,000-strong team when they joined forces.
In the military camp.
"Did you hear that? The general gave the order to postpone the advance."
"What? Why is this? Isn't now the best time to enter?"
"There is such a big piece of meat in front of us. If we don't eat it, are we going to wait for them to unite and attack us?"
"Hush! You have forgotten the most important point. Less than five miles away from us, there is a male lion staring at us."
Many soldiers complained about Yang Feng's order to postpone the march.
On Wei Xian's side, Frost City's army was also waiting.
"Xingtian, long time no see."
"Brother Wei, didn't you arrive before us?"
The man in front of Wei Xian had a yellowish face.
Wearing black mysterious clothes.
Yan Xingtian.
He holds the same position as Wei Xian and is also a partial general.
The two of them can be said to be Huang An's right-hand men.
"Xingtian, you don't know that something happened in the army. The general was injured and the soldiers suffered heavy losses. Now we are under attack from both sides."
Wei Xian explained the situation at hand in a few words.
Yan Xingtian had a dark face after hearing this.
After a long silence, he slowly raised his head.
"When did this happen?"
"Half a day ago."
Wei Xian said it truthfully.
"In just half a day, my dynasty lost 20,000 troops. This remnant of the Jiang Dynasty is quite capable."
"I remember the Jiang Dynasty. Isn't it Jiang Kui who has always been in charge? Why is there another Nine Realm master?"
Yan Xingtian is just a peak swordsman of the Eighth Realm who has been unable to break through the Eighth Realm.
"I don't know. I'm planning to send someone to find out more inside the army. Otherwise, I'll feel uneasy!"
Wei Xian's fighting style is also conservative. He adheres to this and will never fight an uncertain battle.
Therefore, even if five thousand warriors of the Restoration were placed in front of him, he was not moved.
"Yes. Besides, according to what you said, there has been no response from the imperial court. I'm worried about the general..."
"Xingtian, calm down first, Zhang Quan, I order you to lead a group of troops to find out the general's current situation."
Yang Feng's side.
"Have you heard? The general suffered a severe illness last night and is still in a coma!"
"What?"
「
No wonder the general issued an order to suspend the march. "
Many people now understand Yang Feng's decision to postpone his advance.
On the contrary, he was concerned about Yang Feng's condition.
If they were to know that their general had actually died a long time ago, and the one who is alive now is just a fake.
Inside the coach's tent.
"Young Master Yang, this trick of yours is really effective. It is much more effective than rumors."
"Xu Liu, Xiaojiu, please don't let down your guard. I'm just doing this to lure Wei Xian's people over. And the reason why I did this is that I didn't imitate Huang An's handwriting before writing a letter.
Secondly, military morale is high. I am afraid that some people will not obey military orders and want to cause a rebellion. "
Yang Feng had thought carefully about pretending to be ill this time.
"Report! General Wei, Wei Xian's cronies are already less than five miles away."
"really!"
When he heard that the spies had come to report, Xu Liu looked suddenly enlightened.
Wei Xian's cronies will definitely cause a sensation, but this time Yang Feng is "seriously ill and bedridden."
Wei Xian's cronies may have to be replaced.
If you want to let the news out, have you asked him as a general?
"Humph! Xu Liu and Xiaojiu, you will arrange for someone to come to pick me up in a moment, and have someone intentionally reveal my tragic experience of sudden illness and disfigurement."
"yes."
After saying that, the two of them did not stay by Yang Feng's side, but sent other people in the army to "take care of" Yang Feng.
"Wei Xian, even your general Huang An died in my hands, I want to see what you are capable of!"
Yang Feng raised the corner of his mouth.
Soon, Wei Xian's cronies, Zhang Quan, arrived.
"Why...why is military discipline so lax?"
At first glance, Zhang Quan felt that he was not what an army should behave at all.
"Envoy Zhang, please come this way."
"The reason why military discipline is so lax is because the general, the backbone of the army, contracted a serious illness overnight, so..."
"You, what did you say? General, he... contracted a bad disease?"
"Take me quickly to the commander's camp to see the general."
Zhang Quan looked anxious.
It is a taboo for a general to fall at such a critical moment.
It will shake the morale of the military.
"Please come with me."
Li Jiu called his men and led the envoy sent by Wei Xian into the camp where Yang Feng was.
On a bed, a man wearing a tin mask was lying on the bed.
"General, my subordinate is late, please punish me, General."
And just when Zhang Quan was kneeling on the ground and completely letting down his guard, a sword was pressed against his back.
Behind his empty back, a sword appeared inexplicably.
"You, you are not a general, who are you?"
"Zhang Quan, it's okay to tell you the truth. Your general died last night at the second watch. Now it's me, Yang An, who is giving the orders."
"What? Are you... Yang Zhong's son, Yang An?!"
Upon hearing these words, Zhang Quan's limbs went limp.
Back then, he was also a pawn under Yang Zhong. After so many years, he finally reached the position of general.
And in his heart, there has always been a regret, that is, Yang Zhong saved him back then.
Over the years, he has been thinking about how to repay Yang Zhong.
But when he had the strength and ability, bad news came about Yang Zhong.
The man who expanded the territory and conquered half of the Great Xia Dynasty was killed on unfounded charges.
The last generation of sword gods fell.
From then on, Zhang Quan could only bury this love in his heart.
But today, I heard Yang Feng say that he was the son of Yang Zhong, and the dusty memory of this period was opened again.
"That's right! If it's true, Zhang Quan, tell me, how do you want to die?"
Yang Feng has already gotten out of bed
Stand up.
The iron mask was not taken off.
"Haha! I, Zhang Quan, will have no regrets in my life if I can die in your hands."
"Oh? I killed your general, don't you hate me?"
Yang Feng didn't know Zhang Quan, but in Yang Feng's impression, many people were foolish and loyal.
But when he said from his own mouth that Huang An was dead, he didn't see excessive sadness on Zhang Quan's face.
His mood was not unstable. On the contrary, after learning that he was Yang Zhong's son, he showed some strange emotions.
"Hate? So what if you hate me? Besides, your father saved my life, so what qualifications do I have to hate?"
Zhang Quan looked at the scroll of painting again in his mind.
Those were his green years.
"Oh! No wonder, but you and I are our own masters now. It is reasonable for me to kill you. Of course, if you think you can kill me, you can do it."
Yang Feng is not an indecisive person. Those who have achieved great things in ancient times, regardless of trivial matters, can win this war with Zhang Quan's life. This is enough for Yang Feng.
"Haha! Yang An, kill me! Then I won't have any regrets."
Zhang Quan wanted to go over and help Yang Feng win this war, but if he really did that.
Could it be that he failed to live up to the cultivation of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"That's what you said."
"If my death can put an end to the feud between Daxia and Jiang, then it will be considered a well-deserved death."
After saying that, Zhang Quan quietly closed his eyes.
Yang Feng did not hesitate, he controlled the flying sword and passed through the opponent's chest, giving Zhang Quan a pleasant blow.
In fact, he could have let Zhang Quan go, but he had to be cautious. Who knew whether Zhang Quan would report what happened here to Wei Xian and Yan Xingtian.
"Young Master Yang, the envoy sent by Wei Xian was killed by his own hands. What should we do next?"
"With Zhang Quan's death, Wei Xian will understand that the army has changed hands, and he will be cautious in every next step."
Wei Xian and Yan Xingtian were both generals trained by Huang An. It can be said that they have been imitating Huang An their whole lives.
"Then we don't need to send someone to pretend to be Zhang Quan anymore?"
"Yes, but I have to do it myself."
"What?"
"Young Master Yang, you must not take any chances."
Xu Liu and Li Jiu's expressions changed dramatically.
Yang Feng alone, you know, there are 20,000 troops beside Wei Xian and Yan Xingtian.
The top swordsman in the world can only break through seven thousand armor, which is already the top master.
