Mu Yang didn’t understand. It was a betrayal. What else was there to reason out?

However, since His Royal Highness has said so, there is no reason for him not to believe it. His Highness was extremely clever. What can he think of was not any ordinary man can think.

Hu Feng then said: “Remember to bring more prisoners back.”

Mu Yang didn’t understand, “What are you going to do with the captives? Isn’t it more easy and simple if we kill them at once?”

Hu Feng chuckled: “Don’t you want to save your General Zhou?”

Mu Yang immediately became excited: “You mean, as long as we bring captives back, you can rescue General Zhou?”

Hu Feng nodded. Under the dark sky, the expression on his face was not very clear, but the coldness in his eyes was visible: “Of course, as long as you bring back enough captives. It’s best if they are half dead or someone who will certainly die soon.”

Mu Yang nodded his head again and again: “This subordinate will take note of it. We will definitely do this event beautifully. Your Royal Highness, just please wait and see!”

“I’ll see you later. Call me Hu Feng. Act natural. Don’t speak or do anything suspicious.”

Three days later

At the General Camp of the Xiye Army.

“Reporting, general, something bad is happening. Our food and rations camp is on fire. The fire is too big. Our foods are all gone.”

“Reporting, general, something bad happened. The Chu Army broke through our western defense line, our men suffered heavy casualties.”

“Reporting, general, this is bad. Our eastern defense line was destroyed by Chu Army. Our entire battalion was wiped out.”

Feng Yenan slammed the table. His face turned green then red. His eyes were swelling red like fish’s eyes. He looked extremely scary.

“How could this be? How did this happen? Didn’t Chu Army dispatch the Iron Cavalry Camp and Black Battalion Army today?”

“Answering back to general, it was the Iron Cavalry Camp and Black Battalion Army. No other reinforcements joined the battle.”

Feng Yenan glared at the young soldier who spoke, then he asked: “Is there a general who’s taking in command?”

The young soldier shook his head: “I didn’t see anyone, but it’s strange. They are quite different from the past.”

Feng Yenan asked urgently, “What’s the difference?”

“In the past, the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Camp and Black Battalion Army, although they are good in fighting, they fight disorderly and no pattern. But today, they are fighting well and their morale is much higher than before. On the contrary, our people were being beaten back and forth. In the end, they were defeated. General, our situation is critical, please make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Make a decision, fart. He originally marched without any plan. He thought outnumbering the enemy was enough. So, he brought 100,000 to surround and slaughter those 20,000 Chu Army into pieces. Who would expect that they will use tactics? And these tactics looked familiar.

If he wasn’t sure that Chu Yan died 3 years ago, he would think that Chu Yan was leading the Chu Army. After all, these tactics were very similar to Chu Yan’s methods.

“Retreat first!” Although Feng Yenan likes war, he was not a fool. In such a situation, even if the other party doesn’t have a general leading them, there must be an expert behind them. If he fights again, he will lose much more.

What’s more, their foods and rations were gone. They don’t have foods now, how will they continue to fight?

“Retreat. Retreat the army 30 miles away.” Feng Yenan gritted his teeth and said these words.

On the other side, in the Chu Army Camp, General Hu of the East 3rd Battalion, General Zhu of the Black Sparrow Battalion, and General Shi of the West 3rd Battalion, the three of them were eating and drinking. Their table was full of fish and meat, which very different compared with the vegetables and rice that the soldiers eat.
