To avoid misunderstandings, the Wolf Fang forces stopped a short distance away without entering. When Xiang Yu and his team had fully withdrawn, the Wolf Fang forces began to encircle the Liyun Base.
"Xiao Xuan, take the team back; there’s nothing left for us to do here," Xiang Yu said.
Xiao Xuan nodded and led his team in retreat. They had suffered so casualties, but not many, and a few were injured with gun wounds, though not severely.
Doctors dispatched by Liu Yuhang will arrive tomorrow, so there’s no need for concern.
As for the sacrificed soldiers of the City Guard Army, Xiang Yu had already issued orders to treat their families well and provide them with money. For those with children, Xiang Yu would help raise them.
The other soldiers of the City Guard Army were deeply moved; they were wholeheartedly loyal here.
Xiang Yu and his team hadn’t fully returned to Sun City when they heard intense gunfire behind them.
The gunfire was dense and surrounded the areas all around the Lieyun City Base.
Tie Zhuzi stood beside Xiang Yu, lanting, "Brother Yu, luckily our opponents aren’t Wolf Fang, otherwise they would bomb us to oblivion."
Xiang Yu also nodded, saying, "We currently do not possess the strength to contend with them, so it’s better to remain discreet."
Xiang Yu no longer wanted to involve himself in the affairs of Lieyun City; he also knew that since Wang Qian had taken over, Lieyun City would inevitably fall into the hands of Wolf Fang.
Now that the areas surrounding Sun City are mostly occupied by Wolf Fang, Xiang Yu still worries.
Previously, Wolf Fang didn’t occupy Sun City because it was too impoverished, known as the poorest city nationwide.
However, if it grows in future, Xiang Yu worries that Wolf Fang might beco eager.
Just as Xiang Yu and his team entered the city, the militia reported that a convoy was headed straight for Sun City.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu quickly asked, "How many people? Do we know who they are?"
The militia was a bit panicked and shook their heads, saying, "Lots of vehicles, continuously coming, and they’re moving fast. They’re about to enter the city; should we stop them?"
Not knowing who the other party was, Xiang Yu shook his head and said, "Order everyone, whether City Guard Army or militia, to be on full alert, stay fully hidden, and nobody is to make a move without my orders."
After speaking, Xiang Yu, together with Xiao Xuan and Tie Zhuzi, hurried to another part of the city.
Arriving here, standing upstairs, they could see a convoy in the distance approaching with headlights on.
The vehicles moved quickly, appearing rather anxious.
"They’re either the Forest Wolf or COM’s convoy; they’ve co surprisingly fast," Xiang Yu said with a cold smile.
It seed like the Lieyun Corps were indeed waiting for reinforcents. If Wang Qian’s team hadn’t arrived, Xiang Yu and his team might have fallen for the trap.
"Should we intercept them?" Tie Zhuzi asked.
Xiang Yu shook his head, "There’s no need. Their target isn’t our Sun City, also, we don’t have the ability to stop them."
Xiang Yu was very clear about his own forces. The opponents approached fiercely, likely equipped with heavy weapons. If intercepted here, the losses would be severe.
Moreover, everyone in Sun City was under Xiang Yu’s protection, and he didn’t want them hard.
"Inform everyone they must stay hidden, and absolutely must not let them be seen," Xiang Yu instructed.
Xiao Xuan nodded and went to deliver the orders, while Xiang Yu took out his phone and called Wang Qian.
"A convoy has arrived at Sun City; they don’t seem friendly. You should be careful," Xiang Yu warned.
"I hope they co, don’t worry, we’re prepared," Wang Qian replied confidently.
At this mont, Xiang Yu suddenly felt that Wang Qian’s attack on Lieyun City wasn’t really to capture it, but rather to lure out a bigger target.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yu chuckled, "You used us as bait, didn’t you?"
Wang Qian replied, sowhat peeved, "Xiang Yu, you benefit and then play coy. I’m here to help you; without you, how could I mobilize so many people?"
"Alright, anything you need my help with?" Xiang Yu asked with a smile.
"No, just enjoy the show. You don’t need to be involved," Wang Qian said confidently.
"That’s my thought exactly; take care," Xiang Yu said and hung up the phone.
Just then, the convoy approached Sun City and drove in without hesitation.
It was clear they didn’t regard Sun City as worthy of attention.
The City Guard Army and militia remained hidden atop the buildings, bullets loaded, quietly watching the convoy below.
The convoy didn’t slow, directly heading toward the distance.
Xiang Yu stood above and could vaguely see the symbol on the vehicles: a fierce wolf.
The convoy drove straight through Sun City towards Lieyun City, it seed they intended to lift the siege on Lieyun City.
After they left, the City Guard Army and militia all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, their target wasn’t Sun City; otherwise, they truly lacked confidence.
Just after they left Sun City, they suddenly encountered an ambush ahead. The ambush was intense and quickly escalated to a heated state.
The Forest Wolf convoy was caught off guard; they hadn’t anticipated the ambush here.
Yet the Forest Wolves remained composed, their convoy quickly forming a defensive wall, with people in the rear erging with weapons.
It was evident that the Forest Wolves were well-trained warriors with excellent skills.
But the spot they stopped happened to be land Xiang Yu had marked, with no buildings, a large plain – a disadvantage for them.
The Wolf Fang forces comnced an encirclent from three sides with fierce firepower.
The Forest Wolves also began counterattacking, their convoy echoing front and rear, forming a wall of vehicles, then starting to set up heavy weaponry in the middle.
"Bro, should we block their retreat?" Tie Zhuzi asked excitedly from the rooftop.
Xiao Xuan also quickly arrived from below, slightly excited; if they blocked the Forest Wolf’s retreat, they’d have nowhere to run.
Xiang Yu shook his head, "No rush, let’s see first."
By now, it was midnight, yet outside Sun City was bright as day, various artillery lighting the sky.
This night was destined to be restless, as the City Guard Army and militia atop buildings witnessed this mont.
Previously, their fate was at others’ rcy, even during battles they would hide at ho, praying the war wouldn’t reach there.
But now their feelings were entirely different, although they didn’t directly join the fight, at least they had the status to watch.
The two sides were quite evenly matched, with advanced weaponry, and the fight started intensely with no rcy.
Wolf Fang and Forest Wolf were mortal enemies, having clashed countless tis knowing each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and didn’t plan to show rcy in this battle.
The scene’s ferocity far exceeded Xiang Yu’s imagination...
