The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

Yancheng, City Lord’s Mansion.

"General, please let me attack with all my strength and kill the Zhangtai rebels. They only have more than 10,000 soldiers. I only need 15,000 soldiers to kill them."

Liu Jingang walked into the conference hall with a look of unwillingness on his face. He was clearly prepared to lead his troops to hunt down Zhang Tai, but he received an order to retreat from Xin Daorong and had to retreat.

He found that the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat solemn. Xin Daorong was sitting in the main seat with a frown on his face, and the other three people also had shocked expressions on their faces.

I saw a spy standing in the middle, and said, "Is there something wrong? Your expressions look very solemn."

"Old Liu, I just received news that the traitor Ye Feng somehow managed to get to Dongyun City and successfully captured it. The defending general Wang Rui was killed in the battle."

When Nie Yao and the others heard the news, they were shocked and couldn't believe it.

"Isn't this Ye Feng too cunning?" Liu Jin was furious and roared, "He must have sent Zhang Tai and Yu Shouren to lead the army to attract our attention from the front, while he led the army to attack Dongyun City. No wonder I have been talking for so many days, but as soon as this old man Zhang Tai saw me leaving the city, he started to retreat. Damn it!"

"I will lead the army and destroy him right now."

Liu Jin cursed.

"That's not right! Dongyun City has about 40,000 defenders, and Ye Feng leads at most 10,000 cavalry. How could they capture Dongyun City in such a short time?"

Liu Jin was a little surprised. A siege battle is not easy to fight, not to mention that Ye Feng's troops are at a disadvantage. How could Wang Rui be defeated in such a short time?

"Ye Feng mobilized 30,000 cavalry from nowhere. Their fighting power was strong. Wang Rui only held out for half a day before Dongyun City was breached."

Nie Yao was also somewhat shocked, thinking that the cavalry led by Ye Feng had captured Dongyun City in just half a day. Their combat effectiveness must be very strong.

"These 30,000 cavalrymen must have been trained when Ye Ze was still in the Wei Dynasty. It is impossible for the Song Dynasty to mobilize so many cavalrymen."

Meng He could not help but gnashed his teeth and said, "The thief Ye really had evil intentions long ago. Fortunately, Your Majesty discovered it early, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Liu Jin was also shocked. It took only half a day to break through Dongyun City? How strong must their fighting power be?

When Xin Daorong saw the four people talking, he took a deep breath. When they saw that he was about to speak, the four people also quieted down and waited for Xin Daorong's order.

"How long can our military rations last?"

Xin Daorong frowned slightly. The amount of food and grass that an army of 60,000 people needs to consume every day is a huge amount. If they lose Dongyun City, they will be left alone in Yancheng.

The army's food and supplies were exhausted. There was no need for Ye Feng to take the initiative to attack, as his soldiers would inevitably mutiny, with disastrous consequences.

"General, with our current food and supplies, we can only sustain for twenty days at most."

Nie Yao reported it immediately.

"Twenty days?"

Xin Daorong was also a little helpless. He originally wanted to defend Yancheng. Relying on his own combat effectiveness, even if Ye Feng came around to surround Yancheng, it would be impossible to break through Yancheng in a short time.

Unfortunately, the food and grass in his hands could only support him for twenty days, which meant that if the Wei Dynasty failed to recapture Dongyun City within twenty days, they would die defending Yancheng.

"Do you think we should continue to stay in Yancheng, or withdraw our troops and capture Dongyun City?" Xin Daorong had already made up his mind and asked the four people.

"This Ye Feng is too arrogant. He dared to attack Dongyun City with a lone army. I suggest retreating, retaking Dongyun City, and capturing and killing Ye Feng."

Nie Yao's face was full of anger. He felt very unhappy when he thought about Dongyun City being captured by Ye Feng. He wanted to lead the army and rush up to fight Ye Feng.

"In my opinion, we should lead the army now, rush out to destroy Yu Shouren and Zhang Tai's armies, and take over Linjiang City." Liu Jin only wanted to fight Zhang Tai.

"General, we must retreat and retake Dongyun City." The usually quiet deputy general Kong Yi frowned slightly and said, "If we defend Yancheng, Ye Feng can just surround it without attacking. It will only take about a month for our 60,000 troops to run out of food and grass. By then, their morale will surely decline. If we want to rush out, it will be tantamount to committing suicide."

"On the contrary, if we retreat to seize Dongyun City, His Majesty will certainly send reinforcements to help. If Ye Feng stays in Dongyun City, he will be attacked from both sides and will definitely be defeated."

When Kong Yi's words rang out, several people nodded, thinking that it made sense.

"Order the three armies to evacuate Yancheng immediately and seize Dongyuncheng."

Xin Daorong gave the order without hesitation.

"Retreat! Capture Dongyun City!"

The sound echoed throughout Yancheng. Xin Daorong assembled an army of nearly 60,000 at the fastest speed and retreated towards Dongyun City at the fastest speed.

The army moved out very quickly and their target was clear: Dongyun City.

……

"General Yu, our scouts reported that Xin Daorong led the army to retreat!"

Yu Shouren stayed in the central army tent. When he heard the news of Xin Daorong's retreat, a smile finally appeared on his face. He was really a little afraid that Xin Daorong would disregard everything and lead an army of 60,000 to fight. By then, they would surely become Xin Daorong's dead souls.

"Send a message to the entire army, we will follow and chase after Xin Daorong's army."

A long-lost smile appeared on Yu Shouren's face. As long as Xin Daorong led his army into Huoyun Mountain and the whole mountain was burning with flames, there would inevitably be heavy losses. He had already thought that Xin Daorong's army would be in a miserable state.

……

"Kong Yi, you lead 5,000 soldiers and go ahead as fast as possible to investigate the situation in Huoyun Mountain to prevent an ambush."

Xin Daorong was marching with his army. When he saw the endless Fire Cloud Mountain in the distance, he immediately gave orders to Kong Yi.

"As ordered!"

Kong Yi has been following Xin Daorong in his battles and has a calm personality. Sending him to investigate the situation in Huoyun Mountain must be the safest choice.

He led five thousand soldiers and headed towards Huoyun Mountain as quickly as possible.

Soon, they arrived at the outer foot of Huoyun Mountain.

"Check them carefully. Don't be careless."

Kong Yi said to the many soldiers.

"General Kong, with the dense jungle in Huoyun Mountain, if there was an ambush, the whole jungle would have been in ruins long ago." A soldier saw the jungle in front of him and saw that everything was normal without any damage, so he said slowly.

"You can't be careless when marching or fighting. You must not be careless. If you are not careful, you will be doomed."

Kong Yi did not relax his vigilance, but reminded him.

After about two hours, the sun gradually set.

"come yet?"

When Ye Feng saw the densely packed figures of soldiers outside Huoyun Mountain, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his expression indifferent. It was the 60,000-strong army led by Xin Daorong.

"Xin Daorong is very vigilant and has sent so many people to investigate the situation." Ye Feng looked indifferent when he saw Kong Yi and his thousands of people conducting a carpet search from the bottom of Huoyun Mountain.

The many soldiers he arranged were not hiding in the jungle as an ambush, but were hiding on the outskirts of Huoyun Mountain. Unless Kong Yi continued to expand the search range, it would be impossible to discover the ambush.
