Qiu Zhen arranged according to Tang Yin's plan. In order to keep the secret strictly, the generals did not declare that Tang Yin was faking his death after returning to their camps, but said that Tang Yin was really seriously injured and had died.

As soon as the news of Tang Yin's death spread, the entire Tianyuan Army camp immediately fell into grief. Many soldiers couldn't help crying, especially the Pingyuan Army. They had followed Tang Yin for the longest time and had the deepest feelings. The sound of crying in the Pingyuan Army camp was endless.

That night, the Tianyuan Army camp hung white lights, and both soldiers and generals tied white belts around their waists. Even the general flag in front of the central army tent fell down.

Without waiting for dawn, that night, the Peng soldiers in the Yancheng Tower discovered the abnormality of the Tianyuan Army and did not dare to delay and immediately reported to Li Qi.

Upon hearing the news, Li Qi, Ye Cheng, Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and other generals all went up to the tower on the city wall and looked towards the Tianyuan Army camp. After seeing it clearly, everyone's heart trembled. Li Qi was surprised and murmured, "Why are there so many white lights in the Tianyuan Army camp?"

Ye Cheng rolled his eyes and exclaimed in sudden realization. Then he turned around and bowed to Li Qi and said, "General Li, great news! The Tianyuan Army lit up the white lights, which must mean that Tang Yin is dead!"

Hearing this, Li Qi and others were all shocked. Tang Yin is dead? Tang Yin is really dead! After a moment of shock, Li Qi came back to his senses, laughed up to the sky, and sighed: "There is always a way out! Yancheng is safe!"

"General!"

Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and other generals bowed to Li Qi and said again: "Tang Yin is dead, the Tianyuan Army is leaderless and morale is low. If we don't attack now, when will we attack? General Li, give the order to attack quickly, don't delay the opportunity any longer!"

"This..."

Li Qi was very happy to confirm that Tang Yin was indeed dead, and he also felt that Yancheng could rest assured. However, he still felt that it was too risky for him to take the initiative to attack. What if the attack failed and suffered a crazy counterattack from the Tianyuan Army? Wouldn't it be a big deal? After thinking about it, he still shook his head and said, "We need to think about the attack in the long run."

"General Li..."

"Stop talking! Although Tang Yin is dead, the strength of the Tianyuan Army is still there. We must not take it lightly. Generals must strictly guard the city. Anyone who dares to leave the city privately will be punished by military law regardless of the result!" After speaking, Li Qi glanced at everyone, turned around and went down the city wall to return home.

"Alas!" Looking at Li Qi's back, Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and other generals all sighed. Among all the generals, only Ye Cheng was the most relaxed. Tang Yin was dead, and he had already made great contributions. As for going out of the city to attack the Tianyuan Army, even if he killed and defeated it, it would only be icing on the cake for him, and it was insignificant.

Li Qi refused to meet Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and other generals for the second time, which made the generals' dissatisfaction with him reach a peak.

The next day, in the early morning, it was bright.

At this time, the sad atmosphere in the Tianyuan Army camp had already become prominent. All the soldiers walking in the camp were wearing white ribbons, and the generals were also wearing mourning clothes. The whole camp was dead and no one even spoke. After breakfast, the generals of each legion gave orders to pack up the tents and return to Lehu County.

The soldiers below all thought that Tang Yin was dead. Now there was no commander in their own army, and it was meaningless to stay in Yancheng. People lost their backbone and had no fighting spirit. No one stood up to express objection to the withdrawal.

The Tianyuan Army, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and a large camp, only took one morning to clean up. Then, the Tianyuan Army began its journey back. Looking up, the soldiers of the Tianyuan Army were listless, with their heads down when walking. Until this time, many people were wiping tears with their sleeves. The whole army was like an exiled army.

The Tianyuan Army retreated, and the sentries in Yancheng saw it clearly. Several soldiers excitedly rolled down the tower and ran to the city, shouting: "The Tianyuan Army retreated, we don't have to fight anymore! The Tianyuan Army has retreated!"

Wow--the shouts of the sentries caused an uproar on the top of Yancheng. People put their hands on the awning and looked towards the camp of the Tianyuan Army. Due to the low height, they could only see the outline of the Tianyuan Army camp, and they couldn't see clearly what happened inside. Many anxious soldiers rushed up the tower regardless of anything and looked out. After seeing that the Tianyuan Army camp was empty, they couldn't help shouting: "Retreat! Really retreat! The Tianyuan Army has retreated--"

The news of the Tianyuan Army's retreat made the Peng Army soldiers boil. People didn't care whether Tang Yin or Zhong Tian won in the end. As long as they could save their lives, it was more important than anything else.

Soon, Ye Cheng, Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and other generals who heard the news also rushed to the top of the city one after another to confirm that the news was correct. The Tianyuan Army had indeed retreated. Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and others looked at each other, and ran down the city wall at the same time to find Li Qi to persuade him to send troops again.

At this time, even a fool knew that he should pursue the enemy. Missing such a good opportunity would be like wasting heaven's gift.

Li Qi also received the report, but this was within his expectations. Tang Yin was dead, and the Tianyuan Army had lost its core figure, so retreat was inevitable. Now, he was also considering whether to go out of the city to pursue. Just when he was still hesitating, Ye Cheng, Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and other generals arrived.

After seeing Li Qi, all the generals except Ye Cheng rushed forward, stepped in and saluted, and said: "General Li, Tang Yin is dead, and the Tianyuan Army has all retreated. If we don't send troops to pursue him now, we will really miss the opportunity." !”

"Yes! General Li, the Tianyuan Army is like a piece of scattered sand without a master. No matter how many troops there are, it is useless. Now is an excellent opportunity."

"this……"

"General Li, quickly order the pursuit!"

"General Li, give the order!"

The generals' eyes were widened, their faces were red, and their necks were thick. You said something, and I didn't give Li Qi a chance to speak at all.

Gulu! Li Qi swallowed, looked up at everyone, then lowered his head, silent.

oops! Seeing his hesitant look, everyone was scratching their heads and eager to rush up and slap him hard twice to wake him up.

"General Li, what are you still hesitating about?"

After a long pause, Li Qifang said absently: "What if... what if the enemy is using a trick?"

"You're using a bullshit strategy!" Xu Hui couldn't bear it any longer and said almost in a roar: "Tang Yin is dead, what other strategy can they use? General Li, if you can't seize this opportunity now, you will be determined in the future." It's too late to regret it. If General Li doesn't dare to go, then it's up to me to go, and we will be responsible for your fault in the future. However, I have to remind General Li that if you miss this opportunity, your Majesty will be responsible for it. Come on, you have to bear all the blame, it’s none of our business!”

"oh……"

Xu Hui moved Zhong Tian out, and Li Qi had to be afraid of three points. He can be reused by Zhong Tian. He is also Zhong Tian's confidant and knows his personality very well. If Zhong Tian knows that he missed the opportunity to fight in the future, he may not think about his contribution to defending the city and will only accuse himself of being disadvantageous in combat. .

He weighed the pros and cons, pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, "Am I a timid person who is afraid of getting into trouble?" As he spoke, he looked around at the generals and said, "Since all the generals advocate pursuing pursuit, If you want to kill the enemy, then according to your opinions, our army can leave the city and pursue the Tianyuan Army!"

"General, it's clear!" After hearing that Li Qi was finally willing to send troops, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Li Qi added: "However, our army cannot all go out to kill the enemy. There must be a guard in the city. I wonder which general is willing to stay in the capital?"

Everyone claimed that they went to war to make meritorious deeds, but now that they heard that they were going to stay in the city, no one said anything and they all lowered their heads. Seeing that everyone was silent, Ye Cheng smiled. He raised his hand to Li Qi and said, "General Li, I am willing to stay and guard the capital to ensure that the capital is not lost!"

Li Qi was really afraid that there would be no one left to guard the capital, which would cause trouble. Hearing that Ye Cheng was willing to stay, he was overjoyed and said with a smile: "General Ye Cheng is willing to stay in the capital. That would be great. With General Ye Cheng here, the capital will also be safe." It’s foolproof!”

"Yes, yes! General Ye Cheng is the best candidate to stay in the capital!" Other generals also agreed. Ye Cheng has already made extraordinary achievements. If he doesn't stay behind, who else can he let stay behind?

Li Qi didn't want to go out of the city to chase the enemy, but was forced by his generals to do nothing, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

At present, there are only 60,000 soldiers left in Yancheng who can still fight. Li Qi did not dare to take them all out, leaving 10,000 troops to guard Yancheng. He himself commanded the generals and 50,000 horses to go out of the city to pursue Tianyuan's army.

The morale of the Tianyuan Army was low, the baggage was heavy and complicated, and the marching speed was very slow. However, Li Qi and the others marched lightly and at very high speed. Although the Tianyuan Army had retreated for a long time, Li Qi and the others had not been able to catch up within an hour. More than half.

Li Qi led 50,000 soldiers out of the city to pursue Tianyuan's army. The Tianyan and Diwang spies lurking near Yancheng immediately passed the news to his own army that was retreating to Lehu County and Wu Guanghe who was ambushing in the woods ten miles east of Yancheng. A group of fighting tigers.

After Wu Guang received the intelligence from the spies, he couldn't help grinning with joy. Your Excellency had such a clever plan that the Yancheng defenders really came after him! According to intelligence from informants in the city, Yancheng has only 80,000 troops. Excluding the casualties in the battle to defend the city, there can be at most 60,000 left. Now the enemy has 50,000 troops out of the city and only 10,000 troops in the city. Take Yancheng at this time. Easy as pie.

Thinking, he looked back at his soldiers.

Wu Guang and Zhan Hu only commanded 20,000 people, but these 20,000 people were not simple. They were all elites in the plains army. They had super strong fighting power and fierce fighting. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as the divisions of tigers and wolves.

Now, Wu Guang is just waiting for the enemy to leave the city long enough before he launches a surprise attack.
