Chapter 665: Yang Army Withdraws

"Marshal Shi, what's going on?" first saw soldiers wearing Yangguo military uniforms falling from the city wall, and then heard the singing around him become smaller, Tie Xin immediately looked at Shi Jiangchuan with a puzzled expression.

"Marshal Tie, the situation in the city seems to be a little bad," Shi Jiangchuan stared at the soldiers who fell from the city one by one, and then looked at the countless surging figures in the city, Shi Jiangchuan couldn't help but have a bad feeling.

It has not been half an hour since he had spoken to Tie Xin just now, could it be that his own soldiers in the city have been completely defeated by the place, the more Shi Jiangchuan thinks about it, the more he can't believe this possibility.

"Report, the enemy is attacking fiercely, and General Qi ordered his subordinates to report that the marshal our army is no longer able to resist the enemy's offensive," in Shi Sanchuan's panic, a herald ran to the front in a panic and reported the battle situation of both sides to Shi Sanchuan.

"Could it be that the enemy army has far more troops than ours, why did our army rout so quickly?" Shi Sanchuan looked at the herald in confusion and asked two questions in succession. Thinking that the city is only a little bigger, not long ago, a herald came to report that the strength of the two sides in the battle has been equal, and there are still so many soldiers on his own side waiting on the ladder to ascend the city, Shi Jiangchuan really can't understand what is going on in the herald's mouth that his side cannot resist the enemy's attack.

"Back to the marshal, General Qi said that the enemy's combat strength is too strong for our side to beat," the herald was frightened by Shi Jiangchuan's question, and immediately told the specific reason.

"A group of rice buckets," Shi Jiangchuan was full of anger after receiving the explanation of his subordinates, and he had lost his demeanor as a commander for a while.

"Report, our army is now unable to enter the city normally, General Qi asked the marshal to give instructions as soon as possible," while he was talking, another herald came to report the battle situation.

"Could it be that all the night army is a high-level martial artist?" After getting the new news of the battle situation, Shi Jiangchuan was even more angry.

"General Qi said that the night army has sent elite soldiers, and if it continues to fight, our casualties will continue to increase, but there is no possibility of breaking through the city," Under Shi Jiangchuan's anger, the new herald was also unusual. For fear that their coach would be angry for a while, a burst of anger would make them look different.

"Elite soldiers," silently, Shi Jiangchuan suddenly looked at the long city wall, just like just now, one by one his own soldiers were constantly killed by the enemy, and some people even didn't dare to go to the city because they were too afraid, but took the initiative to jump down from the top of the ladder, preferring to be a deserter rather than die in the hands of the night army, Shi Jiangchuan was shocked and angry.

It didn't take long for only the night army in silver armor to be left on the edge of the long city wall, and the battle scene became less and less, and those who wanted to climb from the top of the ladder to the city were all killed by the night army one after another, and almost no one had a chance to make a move. If the siege continues, it will only be as Qi Wei said, and the casualties of the Yang army will continue to increase.

Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, his own side was defeated to such an extent, Shi Jiangchuan was a little frightened and thought about whether the night army in the city was really a high-level martial cultivator, why did his side defeat so quickly despite having continuous reinforcements. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Shi Jiangchuan wouldn't have believed the fact that his side was defeated.

When he talked to Tie Xin before, Shi Jiangchuan was still proud of the bravery of his soldiers, and he fell from heaven to hell in a blink of an eye, even as the commander of the three armies, Shi Jiangchuan could not remain calm in the face of this contrast.

At the same time, Tie Xin, who was not far away, was really in no mood to secretly laugh at Shi Jiangchuan. Shi Jiangchuan was indeed satisfied with the prestige of the Yang army before, but he could still say the past. To Tie Xin's surprise, the Yang army, which was about to gain the upper hand, was instantly beaten by the night army and collapsed, although it is not clear the specific battle between the two armies in the city, but the horror of the night army's elite is obvious. As an alliance of Yangguo, in the face of the current situation, Tie Xin was also shocked.

"Withdraw the army," it is not difficult to see that his own morale has been completely lost, and it is obvious that he can no longer continue to attack the city, although he is unwilling, Shi Jiangchuan still wisely chooses to withdraw the army.

Not long after, a rapid gong sounded in the rear of the Yang army, and the Yang army, which had been surging like a tide, fled in confusion in an instant, and quickly moved away from the city wall one by one, for fear that if they were one step slower, they would become corpses.

The rapid sound of the gong also surprised Yan Nantian, who wanted to attack the archers of the Yang army after stabilizing the situation, but now the enemy took the initiative to retreat, and also used the archers to suppress his own counterattack, in order to ensure the safety of the night army in the city, Yan Nantian could only order the night army on both sides of the city tower to take precautions, not to be shot by the enemy's archers.

After receiving Yan Nantian's instructions, the night troops on both sides were no longer busy attacking the retreating Yang army, but quickly approached the edge of the city wall, wanting to use the city wall as a cover to protect them from enemy archers.

The Yang troops who fled in panic under the city left behind many wounded companions, and also dropped a lot of ladders used to attack the city, and successively retreated to a position dozens of meters away from the city wall to the position where archers existed, and only then did they feel at ease.

At this moment, Qi Wei, who was standing in front of the city tower, frowned, although the failure of the siege this time was mainly due to the fact that the elite combat power of the night army was too strong, but the result of the defeat was borne by Qi Wei. Not knowing how strong the elite of the night army was, Qi Wei looked at the night army on the side of the city wall, and it was not until he saw Lin Xuanzhong under a banner that Qi Wei stopped his gaze.

The familiar face was not happy, nor panicked, it was so calm. If Lin Xuanzhong really won the first-class title of wolf general with his own strength, then according to Qi Wei's calculations, the night army would definitely not be as easy to deal with as they expected. With this mentality, Qi Wei directly ordered the archers to retreat.

Attacking with a bow and arrow when your own army is already crushed will only add to the prestige of the enemy. In addition, the situation in the city was not suitable for them to attack, and forcibly attacking would only be counterproductive, and Qi Wei could no longer do anything to damage his morale.

After a while, the Yang army, which was previously in charge of the charge, had all withdrawn to the front of the main force, and suffered a defeat, and the array of those soldiers was no longer as neat as it was at the beginning, and they all looked embarrassed.

Due to the withdrawal of the Yang army, the next step is to clean up the battlefield. Although the night army won today, the battlefield was not as casual as usual. If the coalition forces do not leave for a moment, the night army will not be able to relax their vigilance for a moment.

"Marshal, all the infantry of our army have withdrawn to a safe position," After asking the archers to withdraw to a stop a hundred meters away from the city wall, Qi Wei personally rode back to Shi Jiangchuan to return to his life.

"You must give me all the corpses of the soldiers to come back," Seeing that the city wall was full of the corpses of his own soldiers, the anger in Shi Jiangchuan's eyes slowly dissipated, and it was indeed their defeat today. Although this situation is no longer expected, defeat is defeat, as the commander of the three armed forces, Shi Jiangchuan still showed his own strength at the critical moment, after all, the top priority is not to consider the issue of face.

"I'm afraid that the night army won't cooperate easily," Qi Wei realized Shi Jiangchuan's complicated mood at the moment from Shi Jiangchuan's deep voice, but some facts still couldn't be avoided.

"Marshal Tie, I still need your help in this matter," did not answer Qi Wei directly, Shi Jiangchuan looked at Tie Xin on the side first.

"Marshal Shi, don't worry, this marshal will definitely send all the archers to assist you," Tie Xin's expression instantly understood what Shi Jiangchuan meant.

"Then Marshal Lao Tie will help," At the critical moment, Shi Jiangchuan's strength was fully displayed, and he showed the demeanor of a commander in every gesture, and no longer showed the emotions of defeat on his face. The tone of his speech was similar to that of the previous conversation with Tie Xin, so in the face of the current Shi Jiangchuan, Tie Xin was in awe.

"General Qi, you quickly go and tell the main general of the night army in the city that as long as they don't interfere with our army's carrying of corpses, our army will not attack, otherwise none of the night troops in the city who have not retreated will leave," After receiving Tiexin's reply, Shi Jiangchuan turned around and explained to Qi Wei.

"Yes," agreed, and Qi Wei immediately took the order to leave.

At the same time, in the main hall of the city tower, Yan Nantian had already spread the news of the enemy's withdrawal to Zhao Xu. In fact, after hearing the gong outside the city just now, Zhao Xu and Zhang Daring had already guessed that the enemy army was retreating. The originally surging Yang army was defeated quickly, but it was not surprising to a few people. After receiving the exact news, Zhao Xu ordered Yan Nantian to keep an eye on the enemy's every move and prevent the night army from suffering unnecessary losses.

It didn't take long for Yan Nantian to pass on the enemy's request for the corpse of the Yang army in the city to Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu's reply was acceptable, but the corresponding quid pro quo was that all the weapons in and out of the city belonged to the Night Army, and as the winner, Yang Guo would give them the opportunity to clean up the battlefield first. To put it simply, Shi Jiangchuan must promise that the weapons under the city will be owned by the night army as trophies, and the night army will return the corpse of the Yang army.

Of course, no matter whether Shi Jiangchuan agrees or not, Zhao Xu will not throw the enemy's corpse from the city tower again, because that will arouse the anger of the enemy soldiers and it will be detrimental to them, and as the commander of the three armies, Zhao Xu does not want to do such a cruel thing.

After discussing with the enemy how to deal with the battlefield, Yan Nantian was responsible for the rest of the matter, while Zhao Xu went back with Zhang Daring and others to continue to discuss the enemy's siege purpose.

As time passed, news of the Night Army's victory soon spread to Fancheng. Ruan Sihai, who was the first to receive the news, spread the news in the city as soon as possible, and before the casualties of the two armies were counted, Ruan Sihai had already told the people of the city that the night army today was to directly defeat the attack of the coalition army.

Ruan Sihai tried his best to create a powerful image of the night army, and deliberately belittled the coalition army in order to achieve the effect of reassuring people. Although Fancheng is big, if all the people of the city flee, it will only become an empty shelf in the end, and Ruan Sihai naturally doesn't want to see this happen.
