General Wu saw General Feng's action and snorted. "This general is getting more and more cowardly."
"That's because you're much better than him, General Wu." The soldiers were ready to flatter General Wu.
General Wu laughed and felt good when he heard it. But he also knew that these were nothing more than flattery words. The strength of his and the strength of General Feng, he was very clear about their differences.
Without Heavenly General Bao's action before, there was no way he could still be standing here at this mont.
But he will never say it.
Tep.
General Feng looked at the departing General Wu and took a deep breath. If not because his soldiers were losing in terms of number against General Wu, how could he be willing to keep on adopting the defensive strategy?
In addition, he was actually also feeling very tired. He wanted to retire and return ho. But he knew that before this war was declared over, he still had to guard the border.
So until the ti, he will stay here.
When the ti co, he will go back and retire properly.
"General Feng!"
"I know. Rest well, tomorrow's battle is not going to be easy."
"Yes, General Feng!"
General Feng looked into the distance. He was a bit worried for Shangguan Xian's situation, but hopefully that young man will be fine. The battle against Heavenly General Bao wouldn't be easy.
…
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The battle between Shangguan Xian and the two Heavenly Generals were still going on. The delicate balance of the battle could be easily disrupted if the opponent were to make so unexpected news.
But Shangguan Xiao watched as all the plans he had made was being thrown to trash.
Shi Long Kingdom didn't look like they were playing any trick. He was confused.
Does Shi Long Kingdom have so troubles or General Xing on the south was making more troubles for Shi Long Kingdom? Considering that black hearted man's usual set of action, Shangguan Xiao was not surprised if Long Qian Xing ended up being in Shi Long Kingdom's blacklist.
That man always had sothing bad up to his sleeves that he was able to do and made others suffered a lot.
As a person who had clashed against Long Qian Xing a lot in his youth… he painfully understood it.
"Commander Shangguan, the soldiers are retreating."
"What did you say?" Shangguan Xiao looked at the soldier who ca to give report in confusion. It should have been that Shi Long Kingdom was the one having the advantage in this battle.
How co they ended up being the one to retreat?
The ssenger cupped his fist and knelt down. "Commander Shangguan, this is true. The soldiers under Heavenly General Sang is retreating towards City Shi Zhi."
City Shi Zhi was located not far from their location of war. In order to make sure the war did not involve the ordinary citizen, these generals usually set their war in the valleys not far from the road. Unless it was impossible, they would not go towards the city and fought a city battle.
The attackers didn't mind that much but the defenders had to think for a way to intercept these soldiers in the open field if they didn't want to suffer a lot of losses.
This was sothing that Heavenly General Sang did in the beginning.
But now he was retreating?
Or it was another sche?
Heavenly General Sang was known for his ability to make various tactics that easily made others feel exhausted or tired, so Shangguan Xiao has this suspicion.
"I know, you can go back."
"Yes, Commander Shangguan."
The soldiers didn't understand, but Shangguan Xiao was the one who had been making the plans in the battle for a long ti. He naturally understood many things that many other people didn't understand. Clang! Clang! Clang!
The battle continued and ended in the evening.
Shangguan Xian also noticed that the opponent was retreating. It surprised him a bit because he felt that the battle was a bit difficult lately.
But Shi Long Kingdom was retreating instead?
Shouldn't they try their best to make sure that they will not enter deep into Shi Long Kingdom's territory and threaten the opponent?
But despite his confusion, Shangguan Xian returned to their headquarters to rest. "Brother," Shangguan Xiao called out.
"Yes, Xiao?" Shangguan Xian looked at his younger brother calmly.
"There might be traps prepared by Heavenly General Sang." Shangguan Xiao reminded. Since the opponent chose to retreat, they might have prepared sothing along the way. Whatever it is, Shangguan Xiao didn't have any good feelings.
Shangguan Xian nodded. "I know, but we still have to advance."
If they didn't move, they would only stay here forever. Their goal of conquering Shi Long Kingdom could be said to be thrown to the sea and ended in failure. For Shangguan Xian, who wanted to beco like his grandfather and beco a great general, this was unacceptable. Shangguan Xiao looked at his older brother and nodded. "Alright, I'll cover your back as much as possible."
From high confidence to hesitation and frustration, it could be said that the campaign was not as easy as Shangguan Xian expected. But since he had made the decision to lead the soldiers to go towards Shi Long Kingdom, he will follow his words.
No matter what happened in the future, he will be ready.
"Get so rest. Tomorrow's journey would not be easy."
"Yes!"
The soldiers replied.
At the side, General Hong was also looking into the distance. He used to be an adjutant who followed his general. Now that he had beco a true general, there were more things that he had to pay attention to. After fighting against Shi Long Kingdom for a long ti, he had so understanding of them. And it was because of this that he had so worries.
