The night wind is cold and the sky is full of fire.

All the soldiers in Fengyun Kingdom's camp were immersed in fear. Due to the night wind, the fire continued to spread. The entire right wing camp was devastated by the fire, and nine out of ten tents were destroyed.

Gongsun Ba roared loudly and furiously. Liu Qingcang, Gongsun Xun, and Yingzhan all looked shocked, and their eyes all focused on his figure.

"General, what's wrong?"

"The new Emperor Zichu sent people to burn down our right wing camp without anyone noticing. We are all focused here now. It seems that the left wing camp will not be spared tonight."

"What!"

"General, you mean that there will also be a sneak attack by the enemy on the left wing camp tonight?"

Ying Zhan looked shocked, a look of anxiety appeared in his eyes, an incredible voice sounded, and he turned around and prepared to rush towards the left wing camp.

"General Ying Zhan, Xun'er, the two of you return to the left wing camp as quickly as possible. If you find any trace of the enemy, you will be on guard and will kill them all without any effort!"

"The general will obey your orders!"

"My child obeys!"

Gongsun Ba looked at the two people leaving, with strong anger in his eyes. He couldn't help but feel afraid of Chu Feifan, who he had not yet met.

"The new Emperor Zichu should not be underestimated!"

"In just a few days, we can make such a military deployment and intercept our troops here, not to mention taking Anyang City. I really don't know what will happen next!"

"Don't worry, general. I have sent people to chase the assassins. I believe there will be news soon that they will not be able to escape."

Liu Qingcang's expression was horrified. He felt the murderous aura released from Gongsun Ba's figure. His figure trembled unconsciously and he spoke firmly in his voice.

"General Liu, who did you send to chase the assassin?"

"General, Halberd Commander Su Bai has led a thousand cavalry to the Purple Bamboo Forest. I am confident that Halberd Commander Su Bai can capture the assassin!"

Hearing Liu Qingcang's voice, the anger on Gongsun Ba's cold face became even stronger. If it weren't for the fact that killing generals before the war would affect morale, Liu Qingcang would be a corpse at this moment.

Gongsun Ba knew Liu Qingcang too well. Ever since Su Bai proposed a fire attack on Hukou Cliff today, Liu Qingcang had been resentful of him. Now he asked him to chase the assassin. His intention was very obvious.

"General Liu, the right wing camp suffered heavy losses tonight. I will leave the rest of the aftermath to you. I will go to the left wing camp to take a look first. Remember not to let down your guard and allow the enemy to take advantage!"

"Don't worry, General. If the enemy's assassin appears again, he will never come back!"

Hearing Liu Qingcang's heroic words, a cold smile appeared on Gongsun Ba's cheeks, and he turned around and walked quickly towards the center of the camp without paying any attention to him.

"General, we have lost the opportunity in this battle and the morale of the army has been unstable. The common people think that we should withdraw our troops to Fengyang City to regroup and send troops to Anyang City!"

"Military advisor, why do you say this?"

"General, the entire Fengyun Legion is no longer the Fengyun Legion when the general was in charge. The general knows Liu Qingcang. Now that the Fengyun Legion soldiers have no combat power, most of them are Liu Qingcang's.

Dear friend, we have already lost this battle before it even started. If the general doesn’t want too many soldiers to lose their lives in vain, he should order the entire army to retreat back to Fengyang City!"

Dongfang Ling's expression was as calm as water, a gleam flashed across his deep eyes, and he spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice.

"Dongfang, I don't know this, General, but Bo'er's 20,000 vanguard troops have already crossed Hukou Cliff. If we withdraw our troops now, they will really be alone and helpless."

"General, the common people have something they don't know whether to say or not!"

"Gongsun, if you have anything to say, just say it. There is nothing hidden from me, General!"

"General, I'm afraid that the eldest son's 20,000 vanguard army has been defeated by the army of the Zichu Kingdom. The new emperor of Zichu, Wen Tao, has unprecedented military skills. If the common people are not wrong, he wants to divide us and eat us. The eldest son's

He deliberately let the 20,000 vanguard troops escape Hukou Cliff, and his purpose was to cannibalize our army's strength."

Hearing Dongfang Ling's words, Gongsun Ba felt a thunderbolt falling from the top of his head. His whole body trembled slightly, and a look of pain appeared on his cheeks.

"Gongsun, since you already know the purpose of the enemy's army, why didn't you say it earlier?"

"General, it was because of the assassin incident just now that the civilians confirmed their ideas. I wanted to suggest it to the general many times before, but it would have a terrible impact on the morale of the army, so I didn't put it forward!"

"It seems that God will not bless me in this battle. This general has really met his opponent. The new Emperor Zichu is young, but his strategy is so terrible. It seems that the one who awakened this ferocious beast is our Fengyun Kingdom. Hurry up and get help

Inform the emperor of everything that happened here. If it’s too late, I’m afraid that Fengyun Kingdom will be in danger.”

Gongsun Ba rarely failed in hundreds of battles in his life, and there had never been a situation like this where he retreated without fighting, which made him very depressed.

"It's not my fault that God defeated me!"

"Gongsun, please pass on this general's military order. The entire army will retreat to Fengyang City overnight to rest and recuperate. When will the military's power be restored, when will they march to Anyang City!"

Gongsun Ba felt sad and angry in his heart, his eyes dimmed, he suddenly raised his head, stared at the opposite side of Hukou Cliff, and said in a painful and helpless voice.

.............

However.

at this time.

Su Bai led a thousand soldiers in hot pursuit and arrived at the woods outside the Purple Bamboo Forest. The starry light spread through the branches and scattered on the ground. Together with the torches in the hands of thousands of soldiers, the entire Purple Bamboo Forest was illuminated.

Everything is bright.

"Chief holding the halberd, the assassin's figure has disappeared. Should we pursue him now or not?"

"What's the difference between chasing and not chasing!"

"But under the tight defense of tens of thousands of troops, General Li was kidnapped and the military camp was set on fire. How could the person who came here be an ordinary person? Liu Qingcang gave me a death order to hunt down the assassin, just to avenge me for offering my plan to the general today.

"

The few soldiers beside Su Bai were all close confidants who were close to him on weekdays. When they heard Su Bai's voice, a look of worry appeared on their cheeks.

"Chief holding the halberd, Liu Qingcang is targeting you everywhere. If we really come back empty-handed, I'm afraid he won't let it go and will give you some shoes!"

"Yes, the whole army knows that Liu Qingcang is a villain who will seek revenge. When he was in the imperial capital, many soldiers were secretly executed by them because they couldn't stand the way those young men from the Liu family showed off their power in the military camp."

"How can Fengyun dominate the world like this? We all came here for the reputation of General Gongsun, but we fell into the hands of such a villain. It is really sad!"

Su Bai felt sad, staring straight ahead with sword-like eyes, waving his hands to the soldiers beside him: "See if there is a trail, where the assassin escaped from. Now you follow me to chase him. No matter what, you must catch the assassin."

catch."

"Chief Halberd, the assassin has escaped, why are you doing this?"

"Didn't Liu Qingcang just want to accuse me of dereliction of duty? I won't let him have his way. As long as we capture the assassin, let's see what else he has to say!"

Finished speaking.

Su Bai took the lead and rushed towards the sheep farm trail next to the purple bamboo forest, but the urgent voice of a soldier came from behind.

"Commander holding the halberd, the entire army retreats. What should we do now?"

Hearing the sound, Su Bai's expression became serious and he suddenly stopped. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the camp. He saw tens of thousands of troops holding torches high and rushing towards Fengyang City quickly.
