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

"Lao Luo, what should I do?"

Qu Deqing's face was gloomy and he was shocked inside.

Sima Zhuang led an army of more than 200,000, all of whom were the elite of the Jin Dynasty. Not only did he fail to capture the Jade Village, but he was defeated and fled in disarray.

His and Luo Rui's mission was to pretend to attack Tianyun City head-on and help Sima Zhuang to contain the defenders of Tianyun City.

Now that Sima Zhuang was defeated, it seemed meaningless for them to continue staying in front of Tianyun City. If they were not careful, they would be shot and killed by the defenders of Tianyun City. It was really not worth it.

"What else can we do? Let's send a scout back to ask General Tang for instructions. We should keep our troops in place for the time being." Luo Rui also wanted to withdraw his troops, but he was also afraid that he would be held accountable by Sima Tang after retreating. This place was not far from the central army camp, so he simply sent a scout to ask for instructions before making any plans.

"Okay."

Qu Deqing knew very well that even though the defenders of Tianyun City possessed such powerful crossbows, it would be impossible for them to attack Tianyun City with only the tens of thousands of troops they had.

……

"Captain, it's almost dawn, aren't we taking action yet?"

The southwest corner of Tianyun City

Sima Yan was wearing a black robe, with only his eyes showing. His face hidden under the black robe looked exceptionally solemn.

The deaths of Sima Yun and others forced him to be cautious.

Although Sima Yun's strength was not very strong, he was also a very powerful killer. However, he was killed by someone, which means that the other party was stronger than Sima Yun.

This means that there is a high possibility that there are assassins hiding in the dark in Tianyun City, so he will naturally not act rashly.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Sima Zhuang is leading a large army to attack Yushi Village. As long as he wins, Tianyun City will definitely send troops to support us. Then we can slowly sneak into Tianyun City and assassinate Zhang Tai." Sima Yan scolded coldly.

He was waiting for news of Sima Zhuang's victory in the attack on Yushi Village.

……

"Second brother? They should be heading for old General Zhangtai, why haven't they taken action yet?" Feng Pu, Qiu Huo and others were just a few hundred meters away from Sima Yan and others. Their position allowed them to see Sima Yan and others clearly.

Cao Er's face was calm, and he said coldly: "The other party is also a seasoned killer, so he is naturally very cautious. I guess he is waiting for an opportunity."

"I've told you before that as a killer, the most important thing is to be patient and not be impulsive."

"What are they waiting for?"

Qiu Huo couldn't help but frown. Logically, night was the best opportunity for assassination, but the other party actually gave up like that.

"You'll have to ask them yourself."

Cao Er glanced at Qiu Huo with a playful look.

"Tsk, I don't want to die. I have some self-awareness." Qiu Huo didn't care. His eyes were filled with determination. "But sooner or later, I will definitely be more powerful than him."

……

"It's been a night. Has there been any news of fighting in the direction of Yushi Village?"

Sima Tang sat in the central military tent, having not slept all night. He looked at the guards not far away and asked directly.

"General Tang, not yet."

The guard bowed and reported.

clatter! clatter! clatter!

Just at this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the tent.

Then two scouts rushed into the tent, looking so miserable that they knelt on the ground.

"General, we were ambushed by the enemy and attacked from both sides. We suffered heavy losses and were defeated!"

A scout's face was filled with shame and anger, and he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"What did you say?"

Sima Tang stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, staring at the two scouts kneeling in the middle of the central army tent, his face gloomy.

"General Tang, we have been defeated."

The scout bit his lip and didn't dare to look up at Sima Tang.

"They dare to disturb the morale of the army. Come, drag them out and chop them up."

Sima Tang shouted loudly and said coldly.

"Ah! General Tang... No... We are innocent..."

Several soldiers outside the tent suddenly rushed in, dragged out the two scouts who brought the news, and chopped them to death on the spot.

The guards in the tent were also shocked. They knew very well that the two scouts just now were definitely not trying to disrupt the morale of the army, and they did not have the courage to do so. This meant that the army led by Sima Zhuang was most likely really defeated.

Sima Tang leaned his hands on the table in front of him, surprise and confusion filled his eyes. He really couldn't understand why Sima Zhuang led an army of 250,000 to attack the Jade Village. Even if he couldn't take the Jade Village, he wouldn't be defeated, right?

Before setting out on the expedition, they all vowed that it would only take ten days to capture Tianyun City.

As half a month passed, not only did they fail to capture Tianyun City, but they suffered several defeats.

This situation was something he had never expected.

Hua Hua Hua...

At this moment, the entire central military camp of the Great Jin Dynasty became restless.

They thought that Sima Zhuang would return with a great victory with his large army.

Now, Sima Zhuang returned to the barracks with only more than 30,000 troops, looking extremely embarrassed and having obviously just been defeated.

Many soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty were filled with disbelief.

Are the defenders of the Song Dynasty so powerful?

"General Tang, I failed to capture Yushi Village and was defeated. Please hand me over to His Majesty for punishment!"

Sima Zhuang quickly came to the central army tent, gritted his teeth, looked unwilling, and knelt on one knee.

They had never expected where the reinforcements from the Song Dynasty would come from.

"Sima Zhuang, what's going on? Please explain it to me quickly."

Sima Tang was not in the mood to pursue the blame for Sima Zhuang's defeat. He just wanted to know what had happened. An army of more than 200,000 was defeated in just one night.

Sima Zhuang gritted his teeth and told Sima Tang the details.

"Damn it! Where will the reinforcements from the Song Dynasty come from?" Sima Tang frowned. If there hadn't been the sudden arrival of 100,000 reinforcements, Sima Zhuang would have definitely been able to capture the Yushi Village.

Based on their understanding of the military strength of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was now facing enemies on three sides and it was impossible for it to have any extra reinforcements.

"Hurry up and send someone to recall Qu Deqing and Luo Rui."

Sima Tang looked solemn.

It was already difficult to attack Tianyun City, and now the Song Dynasty suddenly had an extra 100,000 troops.

Our side lost nearly 200,000 troops in this battle, which is a heavy loss. As one side gains, the other loses. I am afraid it will become more difficult to capture Tianyun City.

If the enemy took advantage of this moment to besiege Qu Deqing and Luo Rui, the losses would only be even greater. He had to quickly recall Qu Deqing and Luo Rui's 60,000 troops.

"As ordered!"

A guard quickly rushed out of the central military tent.

"Wait! Release the fireworks as a signal to inform the assassins sent by His Majesty!"

Sima Tang's face turned livid.

After all, a night had passed.

The best time for a killer to kill is at night.

I don’t know if it’s too late to notify Sima Yan and others now.

If Sima Yan and other assassins were wiped out, not only the Emperor, but even the leader would not let it go.
