Wu Xiu gave him no chance to catch his breath, retracting the golden ring to his arms. As he swung his fists, golden light shone brightly, like two blazing suns, their power indescribable!

"I will fight with you!"

Qu Yuanxiang was not afraid.

The two were evenly matched, each unleashing their full power, and engaged in a fierce battle.

The two sides' top combat forces are locked in a stalemate.

However, on the Dasheng side, there were more Martial Saints and mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators, and they were still unstoppable, advancing with an almost crushing force.

The two cultivators brought by Zhang Chong'an flew up on their swords, and were quickly surrounded and attacked; one was killed and the other wounded.

He was no exception; he was completely unable to withstand Wei Xuan's Eighteen Ink-Splashing Cuts.

"kill--"

Chu Shixiong roared, "Charge into Suishichuan, and the 300,000-strong army of Western Qi will be utterly defeated!"

But it was at this time.

More Western Qi monks arrived.

The two cultivators joined forces to rescue Zhang Chong'an and then decisively retreated.

"Two immortal masters?!"

Zhang Chong'an said in bewilderment, "The main force of Dasheng is all here. If we don't find a way out, after the collapse of my left wing, the Sheng troops will flood into the rear, and my army will suffer a great defeat!"

"No need to panic!"

The cultivator informed him: "Senior Brother Han has seen through Chen Sanshi's scheme. My central army is on its way. I order you to abandon the 20,000 troops at the front and set up a new defensive formation ten miles behind to buy time!"

"The Immortal Master has already made the arrangements?!"

Zhang Chong'an breathed a sigh of relief.

……

The Great Sheng Central Army.

The central army, with its limited forces, suffered heavy losses.

Sun Buqi fought valiantly, killing two generals of the same realm and one person from across the border. He even cut his spear in two. He then picked up a short knife and continued to fight to the death.

Not far away, Zhao Kang cut off the shaft of the arrow that had pierced his chest. His back was already covered in blood. He vomited a mouthful of thick blood, knelt on one knee, and used his longsword to support himself. He no longer had the strength to continue fighting.

More enemy troops swarmed around him.

Until the very last moment before the swords and blades were about to fall on him.

Suddenly, a tsunami of true energy erupted from behind the enemy lines, blasting the densely packed enemy soldiers high into the air like scattering beans, except that each bean was a corpse.

Chen Sanshi, who had previously charged into battle alone, rode his white horse back and charged back, automatically parting a path wherever he went.

He raised his spear high and declared: "The central army's Hongze camp will cover the rear, while the Imperial Guard will retreat, all returning to Yunduan Prefecture!"

It's almost time.

According to Chen Sanshi's plan, by this point in time, the Dasheng Right Army should have already penetrated deep into the enemy's territory. If it succeeds, great; if not, then it's fine. There's no need to help delay it any further.

It's called bait, but we're not really going to stay here and die.

Once the mission is complete, we can retreat.

At the same time that Chen Sanshi ordered the retreat.

The Western Qi central army did not continue the pursuit, but instead turned around and withdrew.

See this scene.

Chen Sanshi then knew.

Han Xiang had probably already guessed his plan and had begun to address the weaknesses in the Western Qi army, and it wasn't too late.

Soon after.

Then they saw Wang Jun fly back on his sword.

"Chen Sanshi!"

He hurriedly said, "It's bad! Han Xiang guessed what we were going to do and has already ordered their central army to withdraw to support the left army. Your plan to bypass Suishichuan is probably doomed."

really.

Chen Sanshi was not discouraged, but he was somewhat regretful that he could not achieve victory with minimal casualties.

The story of Han Xiang unifying the seven kingdoms is certainly not unfounded.

It can be said.

He was the greatest strategist he had ever encountered in this life.

"How to do?"

Wang Jun frowned deeply: "Are we about to suffer a major defeat?"

"will not."

Chen Sanshi calmly said, "Go to the Right Army and bring back Qu Yuanxiang and the others."

"in addition.

"Order the left flank to advance and hold the rear."

"We just need to retreat to the Cloud Palace."

Today's great battle was inevitable.

But he dares to come out and fight. Whether he can win or not is uncertain, but he certainly won't lose. He has been prepared for this for a long time.

After today.

This battle.

It's simply a matter of shifting from a swift and decisive attack to a protracted tug-of-war.

Moreover, the Great Sheng Dynasty would be at a disadvantage.

But that's all in the future.

"What about Fengzhou?"

Wang Jun said worriedly, "We came out to fight this battle precisely because we were worried they would attack Fengzhou."

"The battlefield is ever-changing, and opportunities are fleeting. Strategies that were useful not long ago may not be useful now."

Chen Sanshi informed him: "The imperial court has already dispatched troops to Fengzhou to fill the gap. If they go now, it will be too late. If my military order is relayed, the difference in losses between the two sides in this battle will not be too great."

"it is good."

Before leaving, Wang Jun paused and explained, "The reason I couldn't kill Han Xiang wasn't because I wasn't willing to fight, but because he simply wouldn't fight me. Plus, his cultivation level was no worse than mine, so there was really nothing I could do."

"You didn't even fight?"

This was indeed unexpected by Chen Sanshi: "You two have been wasting so much time? Fine, you go and withdraw the troops first, and then tell me the whole story when you come back."

sometimes.

You might discover someone's weaknesses by getting to know them.

"Ah."

Wang Jun did not waste any more time.

……

The Great Sheng Right Army.

The murderous intent was intense.

Suddenly, the retreat was called.

"withdraw?!"

Qu Yuanxiang, having exhausted a large number of talismans and pills and completely losing his temper, gritted his teeth and said after distancing himself from the martial artist, "The situation is so favorable, why retreat?!"

"Stop talking nonsense, just leave when I tell you to!"

Wang Jun said, "Our plan has been exposed, and Han Xiang is on his way. If we don't retreat now, we will be wiped out."

"completely annihilated?!"

Qu Yuanxiang sneered: "I thought that Chen Sanshi was so capable?! He still couldn't win!"

"withdraw!"

"withdraw--"

"..."

The right wing left some men to cover the rear, while the rest fought and retreated. After retreating dozens of miles, they joined up with the left wing that was there to meet them, and successfully withdrew to Yunduan Prefecture.

In this regard.

The Western Qi army had no choice but to temporarily withdraw.

This great battle has been temporarily suspended.

This battle.

The Great Sheng suffered a total loss of 20,000 troops.

The Western Qi army suffered a total loss of 35,000 soldiers.

On the general side, both sides suffered losses.

The situation has returned to a stalemate.

Inside the Cloud Palace.

Chen Sanshi listened patiently to Wang Jun's description of what Han Xiang had been doing since the start of the war.

"Watching the game of chess."

"What a fine way to observe a game of chess."

"What an excellent 'chess player'."

Chen Sanshi closed his eyes, his mind flashing back to all the battles he had fought against the military genius Han Xiang since he arrived in Jiaozhou, every march, every deployment, and every confrontation.

After a long while, he suddenly opened his eyes.

at last.

He found the solution to this game of chess, which was also his opponent's only weakness!
