Mo Army had long been prepared, and using Army-broking Crossbow s from Feng Country to deal with Feng Country caused heavy losses for the Ninth Army.

Ye Tang and Gao Yu did not ask for Qi Heng's consent and secretly gave the order to retreat. In their eyes, if they did not retreat now, their entire army would be wiped out.

The drum beats continued to move forward and the soldiers began to retreat. This was an order that would last for a thousand years. Even though Qi Heng was the commander of the entire army, he still had to obediently retreat after the golden call from behind.

As for the soldiers of the 9th army, when they heard the golden ringing sound coming from behind them, they all let out a sigh of relief.

Qi Heng was the first to run back to the formation in anger, when he saw Ye Tang and Gao Yu, he shouted sternly: "Who cried out for gold? This commander did not give the order to retreat! "

Ye Tang rushed to the front, cupped his hands and said: "General, it is this lowly general's order!" Seeing Qi Heng's raised eyebrows, he continued to speak: "General, the Mo Army has prepared a large number of Army-broking Crossbow s, which are the sharp weapons to restrain our army. If we continue fighting, not only will our army not get any benefits, it will also only increase the number of casualties.

Qi Heng knew Ye Tang's words were reasonable, but he could not swallow it down. Moreover, his good brother Shi Lexuan had died in the hands of the opponent's Mo Army, so how could he accept giving up on the chance to take revenge?

Before he spoke, Gao Yu had also walked over, and said seriously: "General, the Ninth Army is my first Cavalry Regiment, and also my only Cavalry Regiment, it is extremely important! Even if the general does not care about his own life and future, he still has to think for the soldiers, and leave this cavalry bloodline for Windy!"

Gao Yu's words were like a bucket of cold water splashing on his head, causing Qi Heng to completely calm down. He did not speak for a long time. He turned around and looked at the soldiers first, then at the corpses that covered the ground that could be seen everywhere on the distant battlefield. He could not help but let out a long sigh towards the sky. That's right, the Ninth Army was the King's treasure in his heart. If they truly died under his command, even if they managed to kill their way into the Enemy's Camp and take revenge for their brother, they wouldn't be able to keep their lives.

Just as he was considering whether he should accept Ye Tang and his suggestion, suddenly, a Feng Soldier rider came over quickly from the back. She arrived in front of Qi Heng, interposed and bowed, then said: "General, it's bad, Mo Army has rushed out of the camp and retaliated against our troops!"

"What?" The anger that Qi Heng had just calmed down once again replaced it. The Mo Army had gone too far, instead of attacking it himself, it had attacked it instead.

His eyes were wide open as he shouted to the left and right, "Soldiers, listen to my command! Follow me and fight!"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Tang and Gao Yu had already caught him on his left and right, and said anxiously: "General! If it were not for the fact that it had victory in its hands, how would it dare to fight its way out of the camp? With the current situation, our army is absolutely not a match for Mo Army. Generals cannot show any more courage, and it will cause the death of even more soldiers! "

Qi Heng frowned, he glared at Ye Tang and Gao Yu with bloodshot eyes, he was so angry that he could not say a word.

There was no need for him to speak anymore, Ye Tang said to the surrounding generals: "Immediately retreat! If Mo Army were to push the Army-broking Crossbow in front of us, it would definitely not be fast enough to catch up to our army. "

"This lowly general obeys your command!" At this point, the soldiers of the 9th army could all feel that if they were to continue fighting with the enemy, their side would be attacking the enemy head on. The commander-in-chief Qi Heng was infuriated, but luckily the two vice commander-in-chiefs were still calm and did not listen to the vice commander-in-chief's commands.

Without waiting for Qi Heng to speak, the generals had already left to command their subordinates to retreat. Qi Heng cried out in anger, unable to move even if he wanted to. If not for the fact that the two of them were brothers and the fact that they were vice commander-in-chiefs, he would have long hacked them apart. He bellowed, "What are you two trying to do? Do you want to rebel if you want to commit a crime from the bottom of your heart? "

It is not that we are afraid of Mo Army, it is just that we have to temporarily avoid it. In the future, when our army finds the opportunity, we will definitely make the Mo Army suffer a debt of blood. Ye Tang and Gao Yu advised patiently.

Qi Heng was impulsive, but he was not a fool. He knew in his heart that the battle today could only end now, if not, their side would have to pay an even heavier price, just that, to make such a haughty and competitive person admit that he was inferior to the enemy, he was unable to turn the corner in his heart. Under the forceful tug of Ye Tang and Gao Yu, he half pushed himself, and half followed the entire army back.

Just as Ye Tang and Gao Yu had judged, Mo Army did not dare to go against the Ninth Army, and could only place their Army-broking Crossbow in front of the entire army. As a result, their speed of pursuit was naturally extremely slow, and it did not take much effort for the Ninth Army to throw their Mo Army far in the chase.

When the Ninth Army was forced to retreat north, they suddenly saw a cloud of dust in front of them, like a hurricane. Those who had been in the battlefield for a long time could tell that this was the scene of the Great Legion marching.

Qi Heng, Ye Tang and Gao Yu who were walking at the front of the army saw everything clearly. Their hearts were shaken as they thought to themselves: Could it be that they have set up an ambush along the way?

Qi Heng secretly grinned, but he did not admit defeat, and laughed towards Ye Tang and Gao Yu: "There are Mo Country lying in ambush ahead, it's not that this commander does not want to retreat, but Mo Army does not give us the chance to retreat. Since that's the case, we can only fight to the death against the enemy!" While speaking, he had already raised the Nine Revolutions Soul Saber.

Ye Tang and Gao Yu gasped at the same time. Was it really the ambush from Mo Country in front of them? If that was really the case, then Mo Army's dispatch of troops was too exquisite, could it be that the Mo Army Commander was a godly person?

Just as Qi Heng was pretending to be calm and prepared to fight, the Ye and Gao brothers were worrying themselves endlessly, the scout in front came back quickly and reported, "General! The King has personally led our army over here, and it's just two miles ahead! "

Ah!" So it was the King's army! Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the news that the spy had brought back. Qi Heng laughed coldly and said, "As long as the Mo Army is lucky, if it is an ambush, I will kill it all!" With that, he hung the Nine Revolutions Soul Saber back on the winning hook beside the saddle.

Ye Tang, Gao Yu laughed bitterly in their hearts, and thought to themselves: I should be glad that the army ahead isn't an ambush. Otherwise, their entire army might be annihilated this time!

Not long after, a large group of people from the Ninth Army came over. At this time, the people from the Ninth Army also saw the flag on the opposite side, which was the same color as the Flag of Feng Country, with a black ground and a red face. Looking down, they saw the tightly packed red tassel were gathered together, stretching across the sky and earth, with no ends in sight.

That's right, that was precisely the Main Force of Feng Army that Tang Yin was personally leading. Including all of the Directly Subordinate Army, half of the Feilong Army and all of the Battle-tested Army, the total military strength exceeded four hundred thousand.

There was no limit to the number of people over ten thousand. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that an army of four hundred thousand soldiers covered the sky and the earth.

When Qi Heng, Ye Tang, and Gao Yu saw Tang Yin, they immediately noticed that his face did not look good. There was no need to ask, the King definitely already knew the news of their side's defeat.2

Qi Heng was a responsible commander. Without Tang Yin asking him, he prostrated and admitted his mistake, kowtowed and said, "Great King, it was this unfavorable commander who caused heavy casualties among our troops. Please punish me, Great King."

Tang Yin sat in a horse carriage that was half open. The carriage was sealed on three sides and opened wide in front of them. There was a long and soft table inside, which was pulled by eight horses. Tang Yin sat upright on the soft chair, without showing any expression on his face. He looked down at Qi Heng who was kneeling in front of the carriage and asked indifferently: "How many soldiers did the Ninth Army lose in this battle?"

"This ?" His head drooped even lower.

"What is it? As the commander of an army, after the war, you don't even know what happened to your own side? " Tang Yin placed one hand on the table and lightly tapped it.

Qi Heng's body shuddered, and he quickly replied, "No, no! This lowly general knows. " Pausing, he continued in a low voice, "Including... Including General Shi, there was a total of ? A total of 23,516 casualties! "

"It's very accurate!" Tang Yin nodded his head and did not say anymore. Just when Qi Heng thought that he did not have anything else to say, a crisp sound came out from the carriage, and Tang Yin slammed the table fiercely, and said: It was just one battle, and even if you suffered over twenty thousand casualties, how did you become a commander? How did you promise me that? Didn't they say to flatten the Mo Army? But now that you have not swept through the Mo Army yet, and have nearly been wiped out by the Mo Army, how can you still have the face to come back and see me? "

With every word Tang Yin said, Qi Heng's head drooped down a little. By the time he finished speaking, the latter's head had already plopped onto the ground. Tang Yin's reprimand made Qi Heng, who was extremely proud and arrogant, to be unable to show his face, and even made him want to die.

Seeing that, Ye Tang and Gao Yu frowned, they went over to Qi Heng's side and knelt down with him, and said together: "Great King, the mistake this time, was not all on the general."

Tang Yin laughed coldly. His fingers were still intertwined as he angrily asked: "Don't blame him, don't tell me you're still blaming me?"

To everyone's surprise, Ye Gao and Ye Wen nodded their heads and said in unison, "The King is indeed at fault."

Upon hearing those words, Qi Heng's jaw dropped. Originally, he was very happy that Ye Tang and Gao Yu could stand out and speak up for him. However, after hearing what the two of them had said, they did not seem to have come to help him.

Tang Yin was angered and laughed, he raised his head and said: "You two, tell me, what fault do I have?"

Ye Tang said: "This loss of our army, is not at the hands of our Mo Army, but at our own weapons! If our army can guard the Chang City well and avoid being ambushed by the Mo Army, the Army-broking Crossbow that our army has hoarded will not fall into the hands of the Mo Army, and they will not be used wantonly on the battlefield by the Mo Army either, resulting in us being insufficiently prepared and suffering heavy losses.
