Qiu Zhen arranged according to Tang Yin's plan. In order to strictly keep the secret, the generals did not claim that Tang Yin was pretending to die after returning to each camp, but said that Tang Yin was seriously injured and died.

As soon as the news of Tang Yin's death spread, the whole Tianyuan army camp immediately fell into grief. Many soldiers couldn't help crying, especially the plain army. They followed Tang Yin the longest and had the deepest feelings. The sound of crying in the plain army camp continued.

That night, the camp of the Tianyuan army hung white lights. Both soldiers and generals tied white belts around their waists, and even the handsome flag in front of the account of the Chinese army fell.

Don't wait until dawn. That night, soldier Peng in Yancheng tower found the abnormality of Tianyuan army. He didn't dare to delay and reported it to Li Qi immediately.

Hearing the news, Li Qi, Ye Cheng, Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and other generals went up to the tower of the city wall and looked at the camp of the Tianyuan army. When they saw it clearly, their hearts trembled. Li Qi looked surprised and murmured, "Why are so many white lights hanging in the camp of the Tianyuan army?"

Ye Cheng's eyes turned and suddenly realized. Then he quickly turned around and bowed to Li Qi and said, "General Li, great joy! The Tianyuan army hit the white light, Tang Yin must be dead!"

Hearing this, Li Qi and others were shocked. Tang Yin is dead? Tang Yin is really dead! Stunned for a moment, Li Qi returned to his senses, looked up to the sky, laughed and sighed, "this is really the way of heaven and man! I have no worries in Yancheng!"

"General!"

Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and other generals bowed their hands to Li Qi and said again, "Tang Yin is dead. The Tianyuan army has no head and morale is low. When will we wait for no attack at this time? General Li, give orders to attack quickly and don't delay the fighters!"

"This..."

It is confirmed that Tang Yin is indeed dead. Li Qi is very happy and feels that Yancheng can rest easy. However, he still feels too risky to let him take the initiative. In case the attack fails and he suffers from the crazy counterattack of the Tianyuan army, isn't it a big deal? After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "the attack needs to be considered 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. You generals must strictly guard the city. Whoever dares to leave the city without permission will be punished by military law no matter what the result!" With that, Li Qi glanced at the crowd, turned down the wall and went back to his house.

"Alas!" Looking at Li Qi's back, Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and others will all sigh. Among the generals, only Ye Cheng is the most relaxed. Tang Yin is dead, and he has made great contributions. As for the Tianyuan army out of the city, even if it is defeated, it is only icing on the cake for himself, which is insignificant.

For the second time, Li Qi refused the views of Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and other generals, which made the generals' dissatisfaction with him accumulate to the top.

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

At this time, the sad atmosphere of the Tianyuan army camp has been highlighted. All the soldiers walking in the camp are wearing white belts, and the generals are also dressed in hemp and filial piety. The whole camp is lifeless, and there is no one to speak. After breakfast, the generals of the legions ordered to clean up their tents and return to Lehu county.

The following officers and men all think Tang Yin is dead. Now there is no commander in their own army, and it is meaningless to stay in Yancheng. People have lost their backbone, let alone fighting spirit. There is not even one person who stands up to disagree with the withdrawal.

Hundreds of thousands of Tianyuan army, such a large military camp, cleaned up in only one morning. Then, Tianyuan army began its return journey. Looking up, the soldiers of the Tianyuan army were listless, and their heads were drooping when they walked. Until then, many people were wiping their tears with their sleeves, and the whole army was like an army in exile.

The Tianyuan army withdrew, but the sentry of Yancheng could be seen clearly. Several soldiers climbed down the tower excitedly, ran down the city and shouted: "the Tianyuan army retreated, we don't have to fight anymore! The Tianyuan army has withdrawn!"

Wow - the shouts of the sentries caused an uproar at the head of Yancheng. People put up sheds and raised their eyes to the camp of the Tianyuan army. Due to the insufficient height, they can only see the outline of the Tianyuan army camp, but they can't see what happened inside. Many impatient soldiers have rushed up the tower and looked out. After seeing that the Tianyuan army camp has been empty, they can't help shouting: "withdraw! Really withdraw! The Tianyuan army has withdrawn ―"

The news of the retreat of Tianyuan army made Sergeant Peng boil. People don't care whether Tang Yin or Zhong Tian won the final victory. As long as they can keep their surname and life, it's better than everything.

Soon, Ye Cheng, Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and others who heard the news also rushed to the city head one after another. They confirmed that the news was correct. The Tianyuan army had indeed retreated. Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and others looked at each other and hurried down the city wall to find Li Qi to persuade him to send troops again.

At this time, even fools know that they should pursue the enemy. Missing such a good opportunity is like a monster.

Of course, Li Qi also received reports, but this was already in his expectation. Tang Yin was dead and the Tianyuan army lost its core figure. It was inevitable to retreat. Now, he is also considering whether to go out of the city to pursue. While he was still hesitating, Ye Cheng, Xu Hui and Wei Xuan were coming.

After seeing Li Qi, except ye Cheng, all the other generals rushed forward, stepped in and saluted one after another, saying: "General Li, Tang Yin is dead, Tianyuan army has all retreated, and now if you don't send troops to pursue, you'll really miss the opportunity!"

"Yes! General Li, the Tianyuan army has no owner. It's like a plate of scattered sand. No matter how many troops are, it's useless. Now is a great opportunity."

"This..."

"General Li, give orders to pursue!"

"General Li, give orders!"

The generals stared round, blushed and thick necked. You and I didn't give Li Qi a chance to speak at all.

Gollum! Li Qi swallowed and spit, looked up at the crowd, then lowered his head and remained silent.

oh dear! Seeing his indecisive appearance, the people scratched their ears and cheeks in a hurry. They wanted to rush up and slap him in the face and wake him up.

"General Li, what are you hesitating about?"

After a long pause, Li Qifang said absently, "what if... What if the enemy uses tricks?"

"Still use a shit trick!" Xu Hui couldn't help it anymore, Almost yelled: "Tang Yin is dead. What else can they do? General Li, if you can't seize this opportunity now, you'll regret it later. If General Li doesn't dare to go, I'll go. In the future, I'll bear the blame. However, I have to remind General Li that if you miss this opportunity, you'll 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 get Zhong Tian's important position. He is also Zhong Tian's confidant. He knows his surname very well. If Zhong Nai knows that he missed his fighter plane in the future, I'm afraid he won't consider his contribution to guarding the city and will only convict himself of the crime of disadvantageous combat.

He weighed the pros and cons, pondered for a long time, bit his teeth, his heart crossed, and said in a deep voice, "am I a timid person?" Then he looked around at the generals and said, "since all the generals advocate chasing and killing the enemy, in your opinion, our army can go out of the city and chase and kill the Tianyuan army!"

"See you, general!" Hearing that Li Qi was finally willing to send troops, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Qi also said: "however, our army can't all go out to kill the enemy. There must be guards in the city. I don't know which general is willing to stay in the capital?"

They all advocated that they went to war to make meritorious service. Now they want to stay in the city. No one speaks, so they all lowered their heads. Seeing that everyone was speechless, Ye Cheng smiled. He arched his hand to Li Qi and said, "General Li, I'd like to stay in the capital to ensure that the capital is safe!"

Li Qi was really afraid that no one would stay in the capital and 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's the best thing. With general Ye Cheng, the capital can be foolproof!"

"Yes, yes! General Ye Cheng is the best candidate to stay in the capital!" Other generals also echoed. Ye Cheng has made great achievements. Who else can he keep if he doesn't stay?

Li Qiben didn't want to go out of the city to chase the enemy, but he was helpless by his generals, so he had to nod and agree.

At present, there are only 60000 defenders in Yancheng who can still fight. Li Qi didn't dare to take them all out, leaving 10000 troops to guard Yancheng. He himself commanded the generals and 50000 troops to go out of the city to hunt down the Tianyuan army.

Sergeant Tianyuan was in low spirits, with heavy and complicated luggage. The marching speed was very slow, while Li Qiyi and others were light and very fast. Although the Tianyuan army had retreated for a long time, Li Qiyi and others had chased more than half of the distance in the last hour.

Li Qi led 50000 soldiers out of the city to hunt down the Tianyuan army. Tianyan and geonet spies lurking near Yancheng immediately passed the news to their own army retreating to Lehu county and Wu Guang and Zhan Hu, who were ambushed in the woods ten miles east of Yancheng.

After receiving the information from the spy, Wu Guang couldn't help grinning. The adult is really clever. The defenders of Yancheng are really chasing after him! According to the intelligence of the city's eyeliner, Yancheng's strength is only eighty thousand, and the most of the remaining sixty thousand people can be removed from the battle of defending the city. Now the enemy forces are out of the city fifty thousand, and the troops in the city are only ten thousand. At this time, it is easy to win Yancheng.

Thinking, he looked back at his own soldiers.

Wu Guang and Zhan Hu only commanded 20000 people, but these 20000 people are not simple. They are all elite soldiers in the plain army. They have strong combat effectiveness and fierce combat. It's not too much to describe them as the division of tigers and wolves.

Now, Wu Guang is waiting. When the enemy leaves the City long enough, he will launch a surprise attack.
