Chapter 393

Such a ferocious Zhan Wudi was exhausted and out of breath after this battle, and most of the spiritual energy in his body was consumed.

Zhan Wushuang, Zhan Wudi, and Zhong Tian led the defeated soldiers with less than 20,000 men under their command and fled in a hurry, heading straight to Fengcheng. At this time, they thought that their situation was finally safe, and they could take a good rest after entering Fengcheng. The situation was not at all what they imagined.

As soon as they got close to the place where the city was closed, they heard a whooshing sound in the air and the sound of rushing wind.

Zhan Wushuang, Zhan Wudi, Zhong Tian and others who were walking in front were startled and hurriedly reined in their horses.

Snapped!

The moment they stopped their horses, a carved feather arrow was nailed to the ground in front of them.

This is completely a warning for the enemy to treat the enemy. Seeing this, everyone's expressions changed. Zhong Tian was the first to recover from the shock. He raised his head and looked at the city tower that sealed the city. He saw the lamps, torches and pitch pine on the tower lighting up the wall that sealed the city as bright as day. If you look carefully, the flag hanging on the city wall is indeed a peng flag. Presumably, it was not captured by the Tianyuan Army, but how could it fire an arrow to warn its own side?

Zhong Tian thought about it and let out a sudden realization. He urged his horse to take a few steps forward, raised his head and shouted loudly to the city: "Where is Feng Hai, the lord of Fengcheng City?"

After waiting for a while, someone on the top of the city shouted back: "I am Feng Hai, who is coming from outside the city?"

"Feng Hai, when the king is here, why don't you quickly open the city gate and welcome me into the city?"

When Zhong Tian finished speaking, the city suddenly fell silent.

At this time, Feng Hai, the lord of Fengcheng City, was indeed on the top of the city and heard Zhong Tian's words, but he did not react for a long time. When the subordinates around him saw this, they all reminded in low voices: "Sir, it sounds like the king has arrived outside the city..."

Feng Hai looked at the people on the left and right, narrowed his eyes, and said quietly: "Not necessarily! The Tianyuan Army is cunning. If they pretend to be the king and trick me into opening the city, wouldn't they fall into the opponent's trick?"

"Oh..." When everyone heard this, they were all speechless. They looked at each other, but no one said anything.

Feng Hai took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly: "What a joke, our king is in Wancheng now, why are we here? If Xiu is going to cheat again, retreat quickly. If not, I will shoot an arrow!"

After hearing this, Zhong Tian didn't know whether to be angry or appreciate Feng Hai's loyalty. Unfortunately, it was dark now and the torches in his own army were limited, so he could not let the people on the top of the city see clearly. He shouted: "How dare Feng Hai question my king's identity? You can send a general out of the city now to see if this king is real or fake!"

Feng Hai was now the bastard, and Tie Xin believed that it was a lie. He laughed twice and said: "I will not let my subordinates go out of the city to die, and your treacherous plot will not be hidden from my eyes."

damn it! Zhong Tian lost his patience at this time, waved to a guard beside him, then took out the king's jade seal from his arms, handed it to the guard, and asked him to go to the city and hand it to Feng Hai on the city.

The guard hurriedly took the order, took the royal seal, and ran quickly to the gate of the closed city.

As soon as he ran out of the formation, Feng Hai and others on the top of the city saw clearly. A general pointed to the outside of the city and said: "Sir, the other side is coming to ride!"

I saw! Feng Hai muttered silently in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he raised his hand and shouted: "Shoot this man!"

"Sir, what if the person coming is..."

Before his subordinates could finish speaking, Feng Hai's face darkened and he shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, do as ordered and shoot this man!"

"Yes! Sir!"

Feng Hai is the city lord, and he has the greatest command in closing the city. Even if the surrounding subordinates had doubts, they did not dare to disobey the order given by everyone to release arrows according to Feng Hai's wishes. There were quite a few defenders in the city, thousands of them. After receiving the order to release arrows, the soldiers bent their bows and arrows, aimed at the Zhong Tian guard who was running quickly, and fired the eagle feathers in unison.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh - arrows rained down from the top of the city, all flying towards the guard. When the guard heard the sound of arrows, his face suddenly changed with fright, and he shouted loudly: "Don't shoot arrows, I am myself..."

Thump, thump, thump!

Before he finished shouting, Diao Fei was already approaching, and the thousands of arrows shot the guards and the horses below into hedgehogs in an instant.

"Ah?" Unexpectedly, Feng Hairang ordered to fire arrows without letting his guards approach. Zhong Tian's head buzzed, and he roared angrily: "Feng Hai, are you trying to rebel by shooting my guards? "

In fact, now Feng Hai has basically confirmed that the person coming is indeed Zhong Tian, ​​but he does not dare to let Zhong Tian enter the city.

How is the defense of Yancheng? It was a hundred times better than sealing the city. Zhong Tiandu was beaten to Wancheng by Tianyuan Army. What about Wancheng city defense? It was ten times better than closing the city, but Zhong Tian was still driven out of the city by Tianyuan Army. Now that the city is closed, can we resist the Tianyuan Army's attack? The answer is of course no. He doesn't want to be Zhong Tian's die-hard loyalist and follow Zhong Tian on the run.

However, Feng Hai did not have the courage and courage to betray Zhong Tian blatantly. At this time, taking advantage of the darkness, he pretended to be stupid and decided that Zhong Tian was a fake Tianyuan Army. In this way, he could not only prevent Zhong Tian from entering the city, but also Leave yourself a way out and get the best of both worlds.

"The wind thief should stop threatening me. There are a hundred thousand arrows in the sealed city. No matter who dares to cross the thunder pond, I will kill him!" Feng Hai said sternly.

"You..." Zhong Tian was angry and resentful, and his teeth were itching, but Feng Hai on the top of the city was helpless. He turned to Zhan Wushuang and said: "General Wushuang, let's attack the city, capture Feng Hai, and let this thief see whether I am real or fake!"

Zhan Wushuang took a deep look at Zhong Tian, ​​smiled bitterly and shook his head. He couldn't understand why Zhong Tian, ​​who was so smart, still hadn't seen through Feng Hai's intentions. The other party was obviously just a loser. He didn't dare to offend Zhong Tian, ​​nor did he dare to offend the Tianyuan Army. He pretended to be stupid and refused to let his side enter the city.

It's not that easy to attack the city by force. Now there are less than 20,000 soldiers on our side, and they are exhausted. Even Brother Zhan Wudi is at the end of his strength. He is sitting on his horse and swaying. Even if he can really break into the city, there will be no soldiers left. There are only a few people left, and when the Tianyuan Army encircles the city again, no one on our side will be able to escape.

He sighed and said: "Your Majesty, this Feng Hai is not your loyal minister, and you should no longer expect him to open the city gate for us..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone behind him screaming: "Report——"

A Ning sergeant ran over in a panic from behind. When he got close to Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi, he knelt on one knee, stepped in and saluted, and said urgently: "Report, General! The Tianyuan Army has regrouped and is chasing them from behind, General." Get ready!"

"ah?"

Hearing this, Zhan Wushuang, Zhan Wudi, Zhong Tian and others all trembled in their hearts. They did not expect Ziying's army to make adjustments so quickly after being broken through by their own side, and to pursue them. Zhan Wushuang frowned, pondered for three seconds, and shouted: "Inform me, general, that the whole army will bypass the closed city and continue to retreat southward!"

"Yes!" the herald agreed and passed on Zhan Wushuang's military order. Zhong Tian, ​​who was nearby, rubbed his hands anxiously and asked: "General Wushuang, our army is exhausted and can no longer travel. It is better to seal the city first and rest..."

Can you get in? ! Zhan Wushuang rolled his eyes. He wanted to reprimand Zhong Tian, ​​but then he thought about it and swallowed the words on his lips. It was useless to talk to people who didn't understand military affairs. He said sternly: "Entering Fengcheng is a dead end. If you want to survive, you must retreat south!"

"But……"

"Your Majesty, if you delay any longer, when the enemy troops come after you, it will be too late for us to retreat!" Zhan Wushuang reminded him coldly.

That’s it! Zhong Tian lamented in his heart that now he could no longer count on anyone else and could only rely on Zhan Wushuang. He nodded and said weakly: "Just follow the general's opinion!"

Ning Jun and Peng Jun were turned away by Feng Hai, the lord of Fengcheng City. In desperation, they had to bypass Fengcheng and fled southward.

As soon as they left, Feng Hai couldn't wait to ask people to open the outside of the city and go outside to see what was on the man he just shot to death. He guessed that the man must have something like an edict on him for him to read to confirm Zhong Tian's identity. He can keep this edict and give it to the Tianyuan Army in the future to prove that he did not let Zhong Tian enter the city. This not only shows his determination to Xiang Feng, but also allows him to claim credit.

The result of the matter was unexpected. No edict was found on the body of the guard, but Zhong Tian's jade seal was found.

Seeing Zhong Tian's self-made Peng King Seal, Feng Hai's subordinates were dumbfounded and realized that they had indeed killed the wrong person. The person who came just now was indeed Zhong Tian, ​​but Feng Hai jumped with excitement. How high, holding the jade seal and looking up to the sky laughing. He was worried that he had done nothing by joining the Tianyuan Army, but now he was fine. If he presented the royal seal of King Peng to Tang Yin, how much credit would it be?

Ning Jun and Peng Jun escaped not long before the Sky Eagle Army led by Ziying arrived.

After the battle just now, the Sky Eagle Army suffered more than 40,000 casualties. Now Ziying's eyes are red. Firstly, because his subordinates suffered heavy casualties. Secondly, he just received the news that Juno has been seriously injured and died. Unfortunately, Ziying died. From Ying's point of view, Juno's death was entirely his responsibility. If he wanted to survive, he could only capture Zhong Tian.

The general's eyes turned red because the soldiers below dared not to fight with all their might. More than 60,000 Sky Eagle troops followed Ning's army and chased him.

Zhong Tian wanted to enter the city, but Feng Hai did not dare to open the city gate. Now that he saw Tianyuan Army coming, he did not greet him, but he took the initiative to open the city gate and invited Tianyuan Army to enter the city. But now Ziying no longer took Fengcheng seriously. Without stopping for a moment, he followed Ning Jun, bypassing Fengcheng, and continued the pursuit.

The defeat of Ning Jun and Peng Jun was extremely disastrous. At first, the seriously wounded were left behind. By the time they escaped to Zishi, the lightly injured were also starting to fall behind. They ran all the way, leaving the wounded behind. How to deal with these Ning Jun and Peng. Ziying was not polite at all to the wounded soldiers in the army, and passed down to the generals that any wounded enemy soldiers they saw would be put to death.
