Chapter 158: Withdrawal (Third Watch)

"In this case, let Qi Jiguang withdraw, Li Chunfeng will return to Tongji City, and I will stay here. After listening to Meng Yi's report, Zhou Chuan said lightly.

Meng Yi nodded, his figure flashed, and he arrived in front of Qi Jiguang in the blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty has an order, the whole army is withdrawn to the entrance and stationed!"

After Qi Jiguang heard Meng Yi's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a heavy face. He knew that since Zhou Chuan ordered the withdrawal of troops at this critical moment, it must be because something happened to Tongji City.

Almost without any hesitation, Qi Jiguang immediately issued an order to retreat. The whole army of the Qi family slowly retreated, retreating with the crossbowmen.

As for the Eastern Expeditionary Army in the rear, they have undergone special training, and they all have a certain amount of martial arts cultivation, and when they saw the army in front gradually retreating, they changed their battle formation almost instantly.

After a while, they reached the flank of the forward army led by General Ma Qian, and changed from encirclement and annihilation to drive.

Ma Qianbian was originally a greedy person who was afraid of death, and as soon as he saw that the Eastern Expeditionary Army had let go, he immediately fled with his subordinates, how could he care about anything else.

Luo Zhong, who was on the Red Flame Mountain Range, was already furious when he saw this, this waste who had not achieved enough things and had more than enough failures.

Such a good opportunity can drag the Qi family army, and even eat all the Qi family army, but because of the greed for life and fear of death, the best opportunity was missed.

"Daochang Li, go back to Tongji City quickly, I have me here!"

Zhou Chuan raised his hand, and he jumped in front of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

"Cover the retreat of the Qi family's army, all of them are there, and the archers are ready!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Woohoo!"

The sound of countless bows and arrows breaking through the air suddenly resounded through the mountain range.

"Not good, enemy attack!"

By the time the sky broke through, a large number of soldiers had already reacted.

"Array!"

Among the enemy troops preparing to dive on the mountain range, a general quickly shouted loudly.

The swooping army immediately stopped and immediately set up their shields.

The results of this wave of bow and arrow shooting were not very good, and the enemy's reaction speed was also very fast.

But Zhou Chuan didn't care, after all, it was just to stop their attack and give the Qi family army enough time to retreat, which was enough.

"The commander-in-chief of the enemy army is not weak, but it is a pity that the generals accepted are uneven!"

Zhou Chuan's eyes flashed, this Luo Zhong's commanding ability is indeed not weak!

It is unimaginable that the combined forces of various dynasties, which are known for their weak combat effectiveness, can have such a commander, and Luo Tianwang has really cultivated a good retainer!

"The first three columns, charge with me!"

However, Zhou Chuan quickly shouted, stood up, grabbed a long knife in his hand, and led the three columns in front of him, totaling 30,000 Eastern Expeditionary Army, to charge.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Zhou Chuan and the 30,000 Eastern Expeditionary Army shouted and shouted killing, and rushed directly over.

"Hahahaha!"

Luo Zhong looked at the only 30,000 people, and the banner of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and immediately laughed, and said: "The ridiculous Wu Zhou Dynasty, only 30,000 people, dare to attack my 300,000 army?"

"Rush me, chop Qi Jiguang to pieces for me!"

Luo Zhong shouted, and the pikemen below advanced forward, and the sword and shield soldiers put down their shields, guarded and carried large swords, and followed closely behind the pikemen.

Charge quickly and chase in the direction of the Qi family's army!

When Zhou Chuan saw this scene, he sneered and said, "Just by you, you also want to stop the retreat of the Qi family's army?"

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Woohoo!"

Zhou Chuan gave an order, and the 30,000 Eastern Expeditionary Army immediately took out their bows and arrows from their backs and fired arrows at the enemy.

A rain of arrows covers the charging enemy formation!

"Not good, the impact is fake, these are archers!"

Luo Zhong's eyes shrank, he thought that the 30,000 Eastern Expeditionary troops were all infantry, but he didn't expect Zhou Chuan to charge with 30,000 archers.

"Defense, defense!"

Luo Zhong shouted loudly. But this time, it's not as easy as before.

The best defensive army was already chasing Qi Jiguang's Qi family army with a big sword, and it was about to start hand-to-hand combat.

And the heavy shields were all dropped on the hillside, and in order to re-defend them, it was necessary to pick them up, but it was clear that it was too late in time.

"Puff puff ......"

The sound of countless sharp blades entering the flesh sounded here. This wave of arrow rain directly took the lives of more than 2,000 people!

"Damn it!"

Luo Zhong's face was hard to see, he couldn't have imagined that Zhou Chuan would give himself such a hand this time.

"Kill, kill all these Qi family troops for me, kill!"

Luo Zhong shouted frantically, he didn't want to consider the casualties of the soldiers, and now he only had one thought, that is, to leave all the Qi family's troops in the canyon to relieve the hatred in his heart!

The archers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, who were originally going to continue firing arrows, stopped shooting when they saw that the enemy's shield soldiers were ready.

Qi Qi drew his sword and rushed forward with a shout to meet Qi Jiguang and his Qi family's army.

"Kill!"

The saber in Zhou Chuan's hand was able to take the lives of dozens of people every time, and the enemy's military formation could not suppress his cultivation in a short period of time, which gave him the opportunity to exert his full strength.

The enemy army can't stop a great master like Zhou Chuan at all. This was a bit of a surprise to Zhou Chuan, who thought that the enemy's military formation would have some impact on him, but he didn't expect that the enemy's military formation did not suppress him in the slightest.

The armies of the combined forces of these dynasties are indeed a rabble.

Luo Zhong looked at the Eastern Expeditionary Army, which had been heavily surrounded by his own army, sneered, and said, "Only 30,000 people, dare to come and attack my army?"

"Kill, kill them all for me!"

Luo Zhong coldly ordered.

"Yes!"

Of the 300,000 troops, more than 50,000 were thrown into battle, encircling 30,000 of the Crusade troops.

"Your Majesty, the time should be almost up, we have pinned down the enemy army. After Zhou Chuan killed dozens of enemy soldiers in front of him, Xiao Lingwei beside him immediately said.

"Okay, give the order to retreat!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Lingwei immediately fired a signal arrow, causing the Eastern Expeditionary Army to begin to retreat.

When the red signal arrow burst into the air, Luo Zhong's eyes shrank sharply and muttered, "They actually want to retreat?"

"No! they must not be allowed to retreat!"

"Pass my order, the whole army charges, and they can't be allowed to withdraw!"

Luo Zhong seemed to suddenly think of something, and immediately shouted loudly.

He understood that the strange withdrawal of the Wu Zhou Dynasty must have something wrong in the rear, and this point could make the Wu Zhou Dynasty so worried about the withdrawal of troops, there was only one reason, that is, the Holy Sect Knights had arrived in Tongji City, otherwise the army of the Wu Zhou Dynasty should take the opportunity to rush up the mountain range!

"Damn, I should have thought of this when the Qi family's army retreated just now. Luo Zhong felt a little regretful in his heart, and now he could only make amends, shouting: "The whole army charges, don't let them withdraw!"
