Chapter 978 Ning Chen Is Stalling for Time

The man in white frowned and muttered, "It shouldn't be... With Ning Chen's personality, he should look down on the 10,000 advance troops. Why would he suddenly attack?"

Lou Guanghe said angrily, "I think you are the spy sent by Ning Chen... Come on, take him down!"

"Yes!"

The surrounding Xiliang soldiers responded and surrounded him, ready to fight.

The man in white was not panicked and said, "If I were a spy sent by Ning Chen, I wouldn't tell you so much.

Ning Chen would not lose the big picture for the small and attack the 10,000 advance troops... but wait until your 90,000 troops pass through Tiger Roar Gorge before taking action."

Bian Yangze and others nodded slightly. What the man in white said made sense.

Bian Yangze waved his hand and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Ning Chen's army has already rushed over... Pass my order and prepare to meet the enemy!"

The messenger immediately passed on Bian Yangze's order.

The army also responded quickly.

The man in white had a flashing look in his eyes, and suddenly said, "We should turn around and destroy the Ning'an Army in Fuhu Valley before Ning Chen's army arrives."

Lou Guanghe sneered, "Fool, do you think the Ning'an Army is so easy to destroy? Before we destroy the Ning'an Army, Ning Chen's army has already rushed up from behind."

The man in white said in a deep voice, "Divide the troops into two groups, leave some people to block Ning Chen's army, and the rest go to destroy the Ning'an Army."

Everyone looked at him like a fool.

The Ning'an Army is a tiger and wolf army, with strong combat power, excellent equipment, and firearms.

Don't think about destroying the Ning'an Army without sending out 50,000 troops.

They only have 90,000 troops now. If they divide the troops into two groups and send 50,000 troops to destroy the Ning'an Army, how can the remaining 40,000 troops stop Ning Chen?

"Report..."

The scout came running, "General Bian, the Great Xuan troops are only ten miles away from our army."

Bian Yangze asked sternly, "How many troops did Ning Chen lead?"

"About 50,000 or 60,000 troops."

"Probe again!"

"Yes!"

Bian Yangze immediately issued a series of orders.

Lou Guanghe sneered, "Ning Chen is so arrogant. He dared to take the initiative to attack with only 50,000 or 60,000 troops... We have 90,000 troops, so it's no problem to swallow them."

After a while, a fast horse came running.

"Report... The Great Xuan troops stopped five miles away."

Bian Yangze and his men looked at each other, a little confused. What did Ning Chen mean by this?

"Let's go and see!"

Bian Yangze and his men rode their horses to the front of the army.

"Report... The Great Xuan troops were three miles away from us, and suddenly stopped moving."

Lou Guanghe asked in confusion, "Ning Chen moved forward little by little, what does this mean?"

Bian Yangze was also puzzled.

Since we are taking the initiative, we should attack in one go... Stopping and starting like this will seriously affect morale.

Bian Yangze said in a deep voice: "Explore again!"

"Yes!"

The scout galloped away on horseback.

Lou Guanghe said in a deep voice: "General Bian, how about we take the initiative to attack?"

Bian Yangze waved his hand, "Ning Chen is cunning, and his purpose is not yet understood. Let's find out the situation first."

"Report... Daxuan's troops stopped three miles away and did not move."

"Report... Daxuan withdrew!"

Bian Yangze and others were completely confused by Ning Chen.

Lou Guanghe said sternly: "Ning Chen must be short of troops and is bluffing to scare us off... We should take the initiative to attack now."

Bian Yangze said in a deep voice: "Don't be reckless. It may be a trick to lure the enemy into Tiger Roar Gorge."

"Report... Daxuan troops have advanced five miles and are only three miles away from our army."

"Report... Daxuan troops have retreated!"

Bian Yangze and others were puzzled. What is Ning Chen doing?

Next to him, the white-clothed man guarded by the Xiliang soldiers suddenly condensed his eyes, "It's bad, Ning Chen is delaying time."

Bian Yangze asked: "What do you mean?"

The white-clothed man said: "Ning Chen's strange behavior must be delaying time, waiting for Ning'an Army to come, and attacking from the front and back."

Everyone's face changed, it is indeed possible.

The man in white continued, "We should take the initiative to attack now. As long as we defeat Ning Chen, even if the Ning'an army arrives, it will be useless."

This touched Lou Guanghe's heart, and he hurriedly said, "General Bian, send troops... When the Ning'an army arrives, we will be attacked from both sides."

Bian Yangze thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "All soldiers, listen to my order, follow me to fight!"

The horses' hooves clanged and the ground shook.

The 90,000-strong army, led by Bian Yangze, marched towards the army led by Ning Chen.

"Report... Report to the prince, the Xiliang army is heading straight for our army."

Ning Chen naturally received the news as well.

Ning Chen waved his hand, asked the scouts to retreat, and turned to look at King Wu, "Are you ready?"

King Wu nodded, "Everything is ready, but there is a little less."

Ning Chen smiled and said, "There is no way, Tiger Roar Gorge used a lot."

"Report... Report to the prince, the Xiliang army is coming."

Ning Chen raised the telescope and could already see the Xiliang battle flag.

Bian Yangze led an army of 90,000 and rushed in like a flood.

Soon, he also saw the Daxuan battle flag fluttering in the wind.

"King Wu, do it!"

"Yes!"

And Ning Chen ordered, "Pass my order, the army retreat!"

Lou Guanghe saw that the Daxuan army was retreating and sneered: "Ning Chen is indeed bluffing and stalling for time... All soldiers, follow this general to charge and kill. Those who kill Ning Chen will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and be granted the title of Marquis of Wanhu."

Bian Yangze frowned and felt uneasy.

But before he could speak, a shocking explosion suddenly came to his ears.

Boom boom boom! ! !

The ground exploded with a bang, flames swept, smoke filled the air, and large pits were blown out of the ground, and the soil collapsed.

Those who were unlucky were blown to pieces on the spot.

The people around were directly blown away by the air wave.

The terrifying sound wave not only made the Xiliang army pale, but also made their heads buzzing, and the war horses were also frightened!

For a while, blood and flesh flew everywhere, people and horses fell down, and it was a mess.

Bian Yangze and others were also shocked so much that their heads buzzed, their eyes went black, and they were directly thrown off the horses by the frightened war horses.

The screams were piercing through the sky.

Many people were trampled to death or had their legs broken by horses.

The retreating Daxuan soldiers suddenly turned around and rushed back.

King Wu shouted: "Archery camp, get ready!"

Ten thousand archers lined up and were ready to go.

"Shoot!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

The rain of arrows shot at the chaotic Xiliang army.

The screams were piercing through the sky.

"Shoot, shoot hard..."

King Wu's voice was hoarse.

Rounds of sword rain shot at the Xiliang army.

Bian Yangze was thrown off the horse by the frightened horse. As soon as he stood up, he was greeted by a rain of arrows and an arrow hit his shoulder.

He rolled over in a panic and hid behind a horse that had been shot, shouting, "Retreat, retreat quickly... The Archer Battalion is here to support us."

Lou Guanghe was also hit in the chest by an arrow, but fortunately, the armor blocked the arrow and it was not fatal. He also shouted angrily, "Where is the Archer Battalion? Where did the people in the Archer Battalion go?"
