The vanguard army lost its energy before fighting. Demon Queen Zhu Yuyan's chest heaved violently, and she gritted her teeth and shouted, "Retreat three hundred meters."
"My Lord the Demon Queen has ordered the entire army to retreat three hundred meters."
"The Demon Queen has an order for our army to retreat three hundred meters."
For a time, after hearing the order to retreat, the vanguard of the Demon Army immediately withdrew their troops in an emergency and retreated to a safe distance beyond the shooting range of the Luo City Spirit Archers on the Tian'an City Tower. After a rain of flying springs, thousands more enemy corpses appeared on the battlefield. The first battle was successful. The Luo City Wuhun Legion broke the myth of the undefeated demon army with a zero to one thousand record. A burst of earth-shattering cheers erupted from the city walls on both sides.
Although this battle did not annihilate too many demonic troops, it greatly inspired the morale of the spirit guards defending the city.
In addition, when Yi Jing and the other three were in a difficult situation, they were still able to seize the opportunity to attack decisively and create an extremely brilliant record. This is no different from a miracle, especially the fact that the demon army was able to escape unscathed even though the Demon Queen Zhu Yuyan was personally in command, is even more convincing.
The spirit guards on the city wall regarded their victory as their own and cheered loudly. The sound was endless. In sharp contrast to the city, was the demon army outside the city. He actually didn't say a word, even the excitement he had when he called for formation was gone.
The cheers of the Luo City Spirit Legion soared into the sky. Demon Queen Zhu Yuyan looked at the broken chariots on the ground and the remains of the chariots that were still burning under the blazing fire. She frowned and said, "Give me the vanguard general Jiang Shiming." Bring it up."
The vanguard general of the demon army was escorted by several guards and brought to the Demon Queen.
"Shi Ming, you have always been able to fight, why did you suffer such a defeat today? If I keep you here, how will you be able to lead the demon army in the future? Come, kill him, enforce the law in front of the formation, and give orders to the officers and soldiers of the three armies. . If someone makes such a big mistake next time, he will be punished as well."
"Ah..." A scream rang out. Yi Jing held his hands in a crotch shape on the east city tower and shouted to the demon army outside the city, "Brothers of the demon army, you saw it. The fate of your vanguard general. This is it. Your fate will be as long as you continue to work for the Demon Queen Zhu Yuyan. Even if you don't die in the hands of the Luo City Spirit Legion, you will die in the hands of the Demon Queen Zhu Yuyan. It's better to give up the siege and stop working for the demon army."
Zhang Baoxiang said, "Lord City Lord, what's the use of shouting like this? How can the demon army be disbanded just because of your words?"
Tolstoy smiled and said, "You don't know something, Mr. Yi, but Master Yi's intention is not really to disband the demon army. This is just a way to demoralize the enemy."
As soon as these words came out, the commanders of the Luo City Spirit Legion who were surrounding them all showed unparalleled admiration for Yi Jing's wisdom and courage, with admiration in their eyes.
Ba Fengnan laughed and said, "After this small setback, the demon army will not be able to attack the city again within three to five days."
Yi Jing put down his hands and said in a hoarse voice, "It's really enjoyable. It's a pity that I didn't get to fight the Demon Queen Zhu Yuyan just now."
Someone suddenly shouted, "Look, everyone, the demon army has really withdrawn."
"Hey, the troops really withdrew? This is simply a miracle!" Yi Jing also said with some disbelief.
The rear group of the demon army turned into the front group and retreated uniformly to a hilly area ten miles away from the east city. Gradually, they were no longer seen on the vast battlefield. Horse hoof prints were left all over the ground, and even the enemy's Chinese command post was not evacuated in time.
Yi Jing and others on the city tower became a little uneasy when they saw such a scene.
With Demon Queen Zhu Yuyan's methods and authority among the demon army, plus the overall strength of the demon army, they had no reason to retreat anyway.
Even if they lost thousands of Wuhun Guards due to the sneak attack by Yi Jing and others in front of the formation, it was not a reason for them to retreat.
Yi Jing frowned deeply, unable to figure out the reason for the moment.
Thor and Bafengnan, like him, fell into deeper thought.
After Yi Jing handed over the task of guarding the city to Zhan Guan and Zhang Baoxiang, and retreated into the city with Thor, he set up a table in the hall, and while drinking, he asked, "Brothers, why don't I say anything?" Why are you so silent?"
Ba Fengnan drank a glass of strong wine, and his throat immediately felt like it was on fire. He paid attention to the hot air and said, "Master Tuo and I both know what you are thinking, and we are also deeply worried about this matter." Demon Queen Zhu Yuyan Such a move came just before the battle. All the strategies we had laid out before were wiped out immediately. The enemy army had just arrived in the east city and was already exhausted. If the demon army was allowed to rest for a few more days before fighting again, their The combat power will increase a lot.
The Demon Queen Zhu Yuyan is a talented general. If she is allowed to preserve her strength, she plans to decide the outcome in a battle. On the contrary, it poses a greater threat to our Luo City Spirit Legion. "
Yi Jing turned to Tolstoy and said, "Master Tolstoy, what do you think?"
Tolstoy was the calmest and most observant among the three. After drinking a glass of strong wine together, he put down the glass and sighed, "If I guessed correctly, Duan Zuozhang should be here."
"What, you mean Duan Zuozhang, the general under the command of the Evil Lord Sheng Zhixuan, who rules the North City, is here?"
Ba Fengnan nodded to Yi Jing, indicating that he agreed with Thor's conjecture. Yi Jing collapsed on the chair in shock, "It's over, it's over. Just one legion of the Demon Army is enough for us. Now the Evil Lord Sheng Zhixuan’s generals want to take a share of the pie, so I don’t understand why the small Tian’an City is so easy to attack.”
Tolstoy smiled and said, "Why is Master Yi so forgetful? Have you forgotten the fact that there is a treasure in the city?"
"Yes, the martial soul treasure! However, the treasure has not been unearthed yet, so why so many demonic troops were attracted to it? It's really hard to fathom."
Tolstoy continued, "The reason for this is indeed confusing. It is said that the Demon Lord and the Demon Queen are mortal enemies. At this moment, they have all their legions marched to Tian'an City. I don't know that they are in a cooperative relationship. It is still a relationship of mutual restraint. We must understand this point, and then use it as the basis to divide and disintegrate them. In short, we have tried every means, but we can never let the Evil Lord and the Demon Queen join forces."
Yi Jing slapped the Eight Immortals table, causing the food and wine to fly, and shouted coldly, "So what if these two dogs and men cooperate. When they met Yi Jing, they were also defeated and defeated Tian'an City."
This time Tolstoy and Ba Fengnan no longer believed his "big words." They shook their heads and sighed bitterly.
Yi Jing showed a forced smile and said, "Don't believe it, I really have a way to divide them. Tonight, I will come to visit the enemy camp at night. Let's see what Duan Zuozhang brought. .”
Thor said in surprise, "If Duan Zuozhang leads his army, one thing is for sure. He must have been ordered by Evil Lord Sheng Zhixuan to lead his army. Therefore, Evil Lord Sheng Zhixuan is very likely to be here." In the army, Mr. Yi, if you go like this, if you are discovered, there is no difference between you and death."
Ba Fengnan also said, "It is necessary to explore the camp, but it does not have to be done secretly. Youdao means that the two armies will not kill the envoys when they are in battle. We may try it boldly. Send a special envoy to Duan Zuozhang's demon army . It’s better to check his tone first.”
Yi Jing called Miaodao, "Brother Ba Feng, your method is really bold, but it is very constructive. Okay, I have decided to personally represent our Luo City Wuhun Legion. I will go and meet the old man Duan Zuozhang." ghost."
Seeing that he had already made up his mind, the two of them couldn't persuade him anymore, so they all immersed themselves in drinking.
"According to the order of the coach, all visitors must be subject to interrogation. Who are you? Tell your name immediately."
Outside the gate of Duan Zuozhang's Wuhun Legion camp, four sturdy men in armor blocked Yi Jing's way.
Yi Jing folded his hands in front of his chest and gave the big men a cold look, "Guys, even your immediate boss, Marshal Duan, would not dare to be so rude to me here. Get out of here, otherwise Don’t blame me for being rude.”
Several people saw that Yi Jing looked young, but his features were delicate and his eyes were especially regal. Suspicion suddenly arose, and the leading guard shouted, "How can you reassure us if you don't tell us your name? Who knows if you might be an assassin."
Yi Jing raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a sneer, "Tell your commander-in-chief that the Lord of Yida City, Yi Jing, has arrived."
Xiang Ming's eyes widened in an instant, and even the expressions on his face froze. A complicated expression swirled on their faces. The leader shouted, "You, are you Yi Jing? The lord of Tian'an City, the former The head coach of the Luo City Spirit Legion?"
Yi Jing nodded noncommittally, and those Duan Zuozhang's subordinates immediately changed their attitude. The leader said respectfully, "That's City Lord Yi, please allow me to wait for the report. As for whether my head coach can see the City Lord, then It depends on your luck, please wait."
After about half a cup of hot tea, the spirit guard came out of the inner camp, cupped his fists to Yi Jing as a gesture of courtesy, "Congratulations, Lord City Lord, my head coach asked you to come in."
"Well, I know that Duan is a little self-aware. Okay, I will go see him immediately. But this little brother, why does your commander spend so much time deciding whether to see me? Can you guess? They don’t want to know the reason for my coming, so they have already summoned the commanders under my command for discussion.”
"This..." The embarrassment on the commander's face moved Yi Jing's heart. He secretly thought that his judgment on Duan Zuozhang was indeed correct. After entering his camp, there must be a fight between dragons and tigers. He must do his best first. Let’s talk about mental preparation.
Taking a deep breath, he immediately entered Duan Zuozhang's camp at a rapid pace.
A man, wearing a heavy helmet, a high crown on his head, a horse with a golden sword, stands majestically on a chair engraved with a golden dragon. A huge jade screen behind him undoubtedly highlighted his domineering aura. Both hands were on the armrests of the dragon chair. He was looking sideways at Yi Jing, who had just entered through the door.
