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

"Snake Shadow Battle Formation!"

As Wu Jie's adopted son, Wu Teng was already familiar with the "Snake Shadow Battle Formation". He swung his spear and killed two enemy soldiers. At the same time, he shouted and the two flag soldiers beside him waved their flags. The 50,000 Changlin soldiers quickly took their positions and fought towards Qu Deqing's army that wanted to retreat.

As the "Snake Shadow Battle Formation" was deployed, the remaining 30,000-plus troops of Qu Deqing were trapped in the "snake body" and were stabbed continuously by the Changlin Army's spears. Rows of soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

"What a powerful battle formation! This Wu Jie is indeed worthy of his reputation."

Zhang Tai stood on the city wall and saw the entire battle situation clearly. Horror appeared on his old face. He also seemed to understand why Ye Feng wanted to reward Wu Jie with the title of General Zhongyong.

"All troops, listen up! Don't panic! Charge out from behind."

Qu Deqing was able to serve as the vanguard general for a long time. When he saw his vanguard army trapped in Wu Teng's battle formation, his spiritual power surged and he wanted to lead the army to charge towards a point in order to break the formation.

"This... When did such a powerful character emerge in the Great Song Dynasty?" Sima Zhuang and Sima Tang were riding on their war horses. The disdainful expressions on their faces had completely disappeared, replaced by horror.

Their Great Jin Dynasty has had disputes with the Great Song Dynasty over the years, and they know all about the many generals of the Great Song Dynasty.

Such well-trained soldiers and the battle formation they formed cannot be trained overnight.

"If my guess is correct, this should be the Changlin Army under the command of Changlin Jun of the Song Dynasty. I have heard that his Changlin Army is well-trained and has strong combat effectiveness. I didn't expect that Changlin Jun would be killed now, which would help Ye Feng instead."

Sima Tang's face was a little solemn. They were well aware of the situation of the Song Dynasty before, but he was caught off guard when he saw the "Snake Shadow Battle Formation" displayed by the Changlin Army.

"How about it? Should we send troops to help Qu Deqing?"

Sima Zhuang saw Qu Deqing trapped in the battle.

"Look at the walls of Tianyun City. There are so many arrows waiting for us to send troops to support them." Sima Tang pointed at Tianyun City and found that there were arrows on the walls, obviously the rhythm of bows being drawn and arrows shot, as if they were afraid that they would not come closer.

"If we let Qu Deqing continue fighting, I'm afraid that only half of his 50,000 vanguard troops can escape, which would be pretty good." Sima Zhuang, riding on a warhorse, saw that Qu Deqing and the vanguard troops were still fighting with the enemy, like a headless fly, and were completely suppressed by the Changlin Army led by Wu Teng.

"Don't worry! Qu Deqing has more than just these abilities."

Sima Tang knew Qu Deqing very well.

As expected, just as Sima Tang finished his words, Qu Deqing swung his spear and suddenly released a terrifying shock wave, forcibly pushing away the army in front of him.

Nearly a thousand soldiers quickly gathered around him. Spiritual energy flowed in each of them. Their cultivation was very strong, and almost all of them had reached the late innate realm. In an instant, they followed Qu Deqing's shock wave and rushed out.

Qu Deqing did not hesitate at all. He made a prompt decision, mounted his warhorse, and charged out with the dense army behind him.

"Humph!"

When Wu Teng saw Qu Deqing leading the remaining enemy troops out of the encirclement, although he was unwilling, he did not lead his troops to pursue them.

"Ah! Ah!"

Whether on the city wall of Yushi Village or the city wall of Tianyun City, everyone cheered when they saw Qu Deqing leading the remaining 30,000 vanguard troops to flee.

"So you were so confident that you wanted to send Qu Deqing to test the situation?" Sima Zhuang couldn't help but say when he saw Qu Deqing fleeing in a panic with more than 30,000 vanguard troops.

Qu Deqing has been serving as a vanguard general beside Sima Tang for many years, so Sima Tang naturally knows his abilities very well.

"General Tang, there must be a lot of troops in Yushi Village that have not been dispatched. Whether it is to attack Yushi Village or Tianyun City, the biggest obstacle is those powerful crossbows."

Qu Deqing looked somewhat embarrassed. He brought the remaining 30,000-plus vanguard troops behind him and quickly came to Sima Tang to report.

"General Qu, please take your brothers to rest quickly. We will wait for the opportunity to act." Sima Tang had a calm expression. He stared at the wall of Tianyun City with a sneer on his face.

"Order the army to set up camp where they are."

Then Sima Tang said to the messenger beside him.

Even though the vanguard army lost more than 10,000 soldiers, neither Sima Zhuang nor Sima Tang took it seriously. Attacking a city is not a simple task, not to mention that the enemy has powerful city defense weapons such as the Nine-Star Crossbow, so they were not in a hurry.

Then Sima Zhuang and Sima Tang rode their war horses and walked into the central army camp. Sima Zhuang said directly: "Since Yushi Village is guarded by the Changlin Army, we will do the opposite and attack Tianyun City at night."

"Oh? A sneak attack?"

Upon hearing this, Sima Zhuang had no idea how Sima Tang was going to launch a surprise attack.

"That's right. Later at night, we will send a few assassins to quietly lurk at the gate of Tianyun City and assassinate the guards. Then we will send thousands of soldiers to quietly lurk there."

Sima Tang looked calm and composed. Since the Emperor had sent assassins to them, why not use them? There was no need to increase casualties!

Da da da……

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the tent, and a man in a black robe that covered his entire body, including his face, walked into the tent.

"What do you want, General Tang?"

The icy cold sound made people shudder.

"In the dead of night, please send a few assassins to sneak into the wall of Tianyun City, assassinate the guards, and open the city gate."

Sima Tang looked at the man in black robe in front of him. Even though they held high positions in the Great Jin Dynasty, they had no right to know who the man in black robe was.

In the entire Jin Dynasty, only Sima Shi, who was in charge of the assassin organization, and the Emperor knew about it.

"As ordered!"

Sima Yan is an assassin of the Jin Dynasty. Although his skills are stronger than Sima Tang and Sima Zhuang, he has to strictly obey Sima Tang's orders.

Sima Yan turned and walked out of the central army camp.

When Sima Tang saw Sima Yan leave, he did not sit idle, but directly called a middle-aged man and said, "General Zhu, please lead 5,000 soldiers to raid Tianyun City at midnight."

"As ordered!"

Zhu Ye bowed and accepted the order, then turned around and left the central military camp.

"Brother Zhuang, go and reorganize the 200,000-man army. As soon as Zhu Ye succeeds in his surprise attack, you will immediately lead the army to seize Tianyun City in one fell swoop."

"By that time, the Changlin Army led by Wu Jie will be isolated and helpless in Yushi Village. We just need to wait for them to run out of food and grass, and then they will collapse without any attack."

Sima Tang smiled at Sima Zhuang.

"Great!"

Sima Zhuang couldn't help but give a thumbs up. The combination of the killers and the army's raid was seamless. The capture of Tianyun City was just around the corner.
