Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

"asshole!"

The generals of Tianqi were so angry that they jumped to their feet, but there was nothing they could do.

He gritted his teeth and asked the cavalry, "Anyone among you who is a good swimmer go and give chase. If you catch him, General Ben will reward you handsomely."

The cavalrymen shook their heads. They were good at fighting on horseback and were not good at swimming at all.

Seeing that no one stood up, General Tianqi's face became even uglier.

He didn't have time to waste here any longer. He had not forgotten what Xie Ting had just said when he escaped.

"All officers, listen up! Return to Liucheng as quickly as possible!"

He was in such a hurry to chase after them that he had no time to arrange the defense of the city. Even though there were hundreds of thousands of cavalry guarding nearby, without anyone to command them, the city would be in disarray.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat. His appearance here was not a coincidence at all. It was a diversion and he had been planned in from the beginning.

He realized belatedly that something was amiss. If they really just wanted to raid the city at night, why didn't they attack with all their might when the gates were already open? Instead, they started to retreat halfway through the battle.

At first he was so busy that he didn't notice anything strange about it, but now that he thinks about it, he realizes that something is wrong everywhere.

If a battle really takes place in Liucheng, the chances of the Phoenix Kingdom winning are slim.

So they never thought that they could succeed in a sneak attack!

It was all because the Phoenix Country had been disguising themselves so well. They always fought to the point where they were satisfied and then retreated. So he didn't think there was anything wrong today and chased after them without thinking.

General Tianqi became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it. How could he have fallen into such a simple trap?

Even escaping to the river by water was probably something they had planned long ago. Even the people Xie Ting brought with him were all soldiers who were good at swimming.

General Tianqi gripped the reins tightly in his hands, his heart increasingly shrouded in an ominous premonition. He solemnly ordered everyone to speed up again.

Finally, they returned to Liucheng.

But when he saw the brightly lit Liucheng from afar, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The people had clearly turned off the lights just now, how could they all light them up immediately?

With so many people dead on the streets, normal people probably wouldn't dare to move all night, let alone light the lights again.

Could it be that this is not the light lit by the people?

They all came back so quickly, but are they still too late...

General Tianqi reined in his horse, slowed down his pace, and walked forward with a look of suspicion in his eyes.

The city gate was still wide open, just as it was when they left.

But he clearly felt the unusual oppression in the air.

He raised his hand to stop everyone, "Come on, contact the other cavalry and see if you can get in touch with them."

"Yes."

One of the cavalrymen turned around and galloped to the side.

General Tianqi's eyes were filled with long thoughts. On the one hand, he didn't quite believe that the Phoenix Kingdom could take over Liucheng in such a short time.

But on the other hand, he had to be vigilant.

His intuition has always been accurate and has helped him win many battles.

Right now, his intuition told him that it was very dangerous inside.

After standing there and waiting for a long time, the cavalryman who had left finally came back in a panic.

"General, the rest of the brothers are… not… missing."

"What did you say!"

General Tianqi's eyes trembled violently a few times. He looked towards Liucheng in disbelief, trying to see the whole situation inside through the city wall, but he could not see anything except the lights.

"How could hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen just disappear like that?"

He couldn't accept it. They had only been out for a short while, not even a cup of tea. How could hundreds of thousands of people just disappear like that?

The worst-case scenario he had prepared along the way was that tens of thousands of people had been surrounded and annihilated, but he never imagined that not a single one would be left.

The cavalryman couldn't believe it either. "It's true, General. What should we do now?"

"Enter the city!"

He just didn't believe it. Could it be that the people of Phoenix Country could perform sorcery?

Thinking of this, he rode his horse slowly inside.

"General!"

Suddenly, the cavalry behind him shouted.

The Tianqi general, who was concentrating on walking inside, was startled and turned back to slap the cavalryman on the head, "What are you yelling about!"

The cavalryman said aggrievedly, "I just think it's better not to take any risks. It's dark now and the situation is unclear. If all else fails, how about we wait here until daybreak and observe the situation?"

General Tianqi thought about it and decided that this might be the safest way at the moment, so he agreed: "Let's go to a dark place. Remember, we must remain vigilant."

"Yes."

Everyone retreated a long distance and observed Liucheng from afar.

What they didn't know was that Liucheng had indeed been occupied by Song Zhi and her men, but she only brought a few hundred people with her, which meant she was a lone commander.

The rest of the army was fighting with the cavalry in another place.

However, unlike before, the soldiers of the Phoenix Kingdom did not retreat because of being chased. Instead, they took the initiative to encircle and suppress hundreds of thousands of cavalry there.

Just as the Tianqi generals thought, the Iron Cavalry did become a mess after he left, so Xin Wanyun only used a few military tactics to successfully make those people fall into their encirclement and stay away from Liucheng.

More than 100,000 cavalrymen are not a small number. Meng Qi led a total of 200,000 people to fight.

The remaining 100,000 people will deal with Tianqi's ordinary soldiers.

If the Tianqi generals had been brave enough to enter the city, they might have had a chance to discover everything and rush to the place where the Iron Cavalry was being encircled and commanded, and they might still have had the strength to fight against the Huang Kingdom.

But he was too concerned about his life to take the gamble.

So on one side was the Phoenix army with Xin Wanyun in command and Meng Qi charging in the front, and on the other side was the confused and clueless cavalry who only knew how to blindly attack people.

See high and low.

If General Tianqi had been braver and more careful, he would have discovered that the cavalryman who had just checked the situation and the cavalryman who advised him to wait until daytime to talk about it were both completely unfamiliar faces.

It was just because it was dark and they were wearing face armor, so they were not easily exposed.

After luring the Tianqi general there, the two men took advantage of everyone's attention being focused on Liucheng and escaped.

As expected, the final result of the encirclement and suppression was that the Phoenix Kingdom won.

The cavalry was routed and suffered heavy casualties.

However, they survived due to their strong strength. About tens of thousands of cavalrymen broke through the encirclement and escaped like a stray dog, but they were no longer a threat.

They knew that Liucheng was not a safe place, so they did not return to Liucheng.

The ordinary soldiers also won a great victory, but more than 20,000 of the 100,000 soldiers were killed there.

Knowing that sacrifices would be inevitable, Song Zhi had recorded the names of all the soldiers long before the war began, and she would definitely treat the families of all the soldiers well.

The fate of the world has been decided.

In just one night, the situation changed drastically.

General Tianqi didn't know all this yet. He stared at the city gate without blinking, trying to figure out where the hundreds of thousands of troops had gone.

His mind was full of doubts. It really shouldn't have happened. How could an army of hundreds of thousands disappear out of thin air?
