Chapter 793 – Dog Bites Dog, Mouth Filled with Fur

"Must we really do that? We have 200 over thousand troops, so why don't we fight?" Di Chen could not accept such a tough decision. To retreat now was like losing a family dog.

The Battle of Yunnan was the focus of the entire world. If they retreated now, Yanhuang Alliance would become a laughing stock. The hard-earned prestige and fame that they had obtained would come crashing and burning down, returning them to zero.

"How can we fight?" Xiong Ba shook his head, "The enemy troops are coming from four directions. The Tiger Leopard Cavalry is near our city walls. The moment they enter and break the teleportation formation, we will be like Zhao Kuo in history, being surrounded and locked up by Baiqi. At that time, we cannot escape even if we want to.

"...."

Although Xiong Ba's words were terrifying, no one could retort it.

"Then let's retreat!"

Chun Shenjun was the first to make his stance. He had already lost Zhao Kuo, and he did not want to lose Tian Dan.

Just as Di Chen and the others were ready to make their stance, a chilly voice sounded out from beside them, "None of you can leave."

Turning around, the one who spoke was Qin Feng, the City-State committee head that had lost all his face.

"What did you say?" Di Chen was astonished.

Craziness flashed across Qin Feng's face. As he savage spoke, his voice went up a few notches, "I said that none of you are to leave. We have signed an agreement for Yanhuang Alliance to help us push back the Shanhai City Army. For this, we have paid a heavy price and have no way out. The battle goes sour and you want to leave? You want to abandon all of us?"

After Qin Feng spoke, many soldiers suddenly rushed up the city wall and surrounded the members of the Yanhuang Alliance. Seeing this scene, Di Chen and the Personal Guards of the Yanhuang Alliance members all unsheathed their swords.

The atmosphere became extremely tense.

After all, Wenshan City was the home ground of the City-State, so Qin Feng had a high level of prestige here.

The Lords of the City-State all agreed with Qin Feng's words and actions. With that, Di Chen and the others were immediately in danger.

The two sides that were working together flawlessly suddenly turned on one another at the crucial moment.

Di Chen's expression changed, obviously alarmed by all of this.

Currently, the troops in Wenshan City were split into two; one group was the Personal Guards of the Lords at around seven thousand while the other group was the Wenshan City City Protection Division.

Out of the seven thousand, each member of the Yanhuang Alliance had 500, so they had a total of 3.5 thousand people. The remaining half belonged to the City-State Lords.

Hence, the party that affected the balance was still the City Protection Division. The side that controlled them would hold the upper hand.

Qin Feng did not even think about it, naturally treating them as part of the City-State camp.

This was why he was so confident.

One could only say that he was too young; he had underestimated Di Chen and the others.

Di Chen smiled and mocked him, "You really think you can take us down?"

As he said those words, Summon Wind suddenly stood up together with Di Chen and the others.

"Summon Wind, you dare!!"

The City-State Lords were astonished; they did not dare to believe Summon Wind's sudden actions.

He just smiled, "Haven't you seen the situation? The City-State is finished. Why would I still stay on this broken boat and sink together with you?"

"That's right, smart people can always understand the situation they are in." Di Chen smiled at the City-State Lords, "Follow us and retreat and maybe you can live a life of prosperity. Fight against us and you will have nothing."

As time was of the essence, Di Chen wanted to swiftly end this.

When the Lords saw this situation, their expressions turned extremely bitter, and they did not say anything. They just brought their Personal Guards away. Looking at the situation, they were prepared to simply leave.

They were tired!

There were some Lords who sent their Personal Guards to the frontlines to try and call back their generals.

Each one of these capable generals was worth tens of thousands of gold. Even if they had no more territory, they could still sell the generals to other Lords for a huge sum of money.

At worst, they could keep them by their sides as bodyguards.

Along with the system update and the release of the information piece, the imperial cities were no longer peaceful. Not only must one have money, they must also have strong guards.

'Huang dang!

The longsword fell to the ground.

Qin Feng looked on at his leaving allies. His face was ashen white; he looked like a pitiful fellow that was abandoned.


When Di Chen and the others saw that, they did not do anything more to Qin Feng; they just shook their heads and left the city wall. At the same time, they sent emergency orders to the frontlines.

They ordered Wuqi and Tian Dan to gather 100 thousand of Yanhuang Alliance Army troops and the core generals and retreat. They also ordered Lianpo's troops to return to the city to face the Tiger Leopard Cavalry.

They ordered the west gate to be closed, and the City Protection Division to guard on the city walls to face the cavalry.

Di Chen and the others were fighting a race against time.

Along with orders being given, chaos and panic unavoidably appeared.

Before the City-State Lords left, they tried to call back their generals. The Alliance Army generals who were still fighting on the frontlines were totally lost.

Even Zhang Xutuo's face became extremely ugly when he heard the news.

Unavoidably, the army panicked, some people left while some people stayed back to listen to the opinion of this Alliance Army commander.

The generals in the wilderness were not puppets, and they each had their own thoughts.

Looking at the situation, the City-State had utterly lost and was forced to surrender. If they returned to their Lords, they would either be sold or end up as bodyguards.

Such a matter would be a massive humiliation to the generals and commanders.

Military people should not leave their lives like that.

Zhang Xutuo looked at the generals gathered around him and sighed, "Since it's an order from the Lord, how can we disobey it?"

Even after entering the wilderness, Zhang Xutuo was still an extremely loyal person. Even though the Lord's order was irrational, Zhang Xutuo still needed to follow it.

When the other generals heard his words, their expressions seemed rather weird.

Just at this moment, a young general spoke, "General, the Lord is obviously betraying our soldiers on the frontlines. He is calling us back not because of righteousness and brotherhood but because we are worth money. If we leave, what would happen to our men? We cannot leave them here to die and not care about them! I'm afraid I cannot agree with you!"

"Well said. General, why don't we just lead the troops and surrender? In the wilderness, Shanhai City is famous for treating their soldiers well. Their Monarch is recognized and is one that all the people are willing to die for. Why not take a step back and plan for a better future since our Lords have abandoned us? That is better than just making worthless sacrifices."

Hearing those words, the various generals of the Alliance Army were tempted.

Zhang Xutuo's expression was rather complicated. On one side, he needed to be loyal to his Lord; on the other side, there were tens of thousands of soldiers. It was either one or the other, making it difficult for him to make a decision.

Just at this moment, there was movement from the frontlines.

Looking out, they saw a squadron of cavalry charge out of the Dragon Legion camp. They were waving the golden flag of a Lord, expressing that they were an envoy.

The news of Wenshan City being surrounded was only known amongst a portion of the soldiers. Some soldiers knew nothing and were still sieging.

This squadron of cavalry were simply too bold.

If they were not careful, they could be taken down by the Alliance Army.

Luckily, Zhang Xutuo immediately sent the news to the frontlines to allow them to pass.

With a 'Shua!' under the leadership of the leading general, hundreds of cavalry got off their horses.

"Who are you?" someone asked.

Only to see the leading general remove his helmet, revealing a handsome face. He was Luo Shixin.

When Zhang Xutuo saw this face, his eyes froze. That young general from before had already grown up.

In history, Luo Shixin was captured and committed suicide, making Zhang Xutuo feel both sad and furious.

Who knew that the two of them would meet again?

Luo Shixin was extremely emotional as he walked up, "Shixin greets the commander." He called Zhang Xutuo like he did in the past.

Of course, since they each had their own Lords, Luo Shixin did not dare to kneel.

Zhang Xutuo's expression was exceedingly cold, "You came to persuade me to surrender?" He was still the commander of the Alliance Army.

When Luo Shixin saw that, he was not surprised. As long as it involved work matters, his teacher would not care about relationships.

"Teacher, aren't you clear about the situation you are in?"

As Luo Shixin spoke, he told them the situation; he talked about how four armies were surrounding Wenshan City.

When the various Alliance Army generals heard this news, their expressions became uglier and uglier.

Even what had happened in the city wall was revealed by Luo Shixin.

What was happening?

Luo Shixin naturally was not here to put all of them in a tough spot; he cupped his fist, "Generals, my Monarch and General Baiqi said that the gates of Shanhai City are opened for all of you. As long as you are willing to surrender, the blood debt will be forgotten. After you enter Shanhai City, we will all be brothers."

When the Alliance Army generals heard these words, they were touched, and they strengthened their resolve to surrender.

Luo Shixin looked toward Zhang Xutuo, "Teacher, what about you? Shixin was really looking forward to fighting together with teacher once more and not fighting against one another."
