Chapter 2144: Chapter 219: Flying Light Wields the Pen to Write the Heavenly Question (3)
Does Xie Baoshu have the ability to control a battle formation of thirty thousand soldiers and perfectly exert the full power of the Soldier Slayer?
The answer is obviously no!
If he truly had such a capability in military strategy, he wouldn’t have been overshadowed by Zhongxuan Sheng and Bao Bozhao on the eastern front.
The situation is beyond help!
Tai Yin urgently issued another order: "Song Xuewu’s unit, Wu Yuming’s unit, retreat immediately! Withdraw in the direction of Noon Sun City!"
He had already decided to move to the second option—retreat to defend Noon Sun City first, then abandon Noon Sun City, using this process to delay the enemy’s advance.
As for Liu Yuen’s unit, which did not receive orders...
They could only stay behind to hold off the Qi Army, acting as the rear guard for the retreating Xia Army.
This was to sever the tail in exchange for survival.
He also turned around and raised his flag, leading the thousand Tai Family Soldiers, engulfed in the Soldier Slayer, soaring into the air, feigning an attack on the mountain, but in reality, rapidly sketching a simple formation with the power of the Soldier Slayer to prepare to block the enemy, gaining more time for the army to withdraw from the mountain.
The Summer Country’s flag fluttered fiercely, and these thousand men were incredibly brave, charging forward with Tai Yin like arrows released from a bowstring.
But the worst still happened!
From the cloud of Soldier Slayer formed by the Qi Army at the foot of the mountain, a figure suddenly leaped out, surrounded by a powerful aura.
The man appeared to be around forty, dressed in a literati’s robe. His demeanor was elegant, showing a literary charm, yet as he leaped out of the army, he arrogantly faced the high sky, his momentum as surging as a mountain and sea.
This was a being of divine clarity.
A powerful individual who had crossed the boundary between the celestial and the human.
He gazed directly at the mountaintop, his eyes clearly gentle, yet they seemed to have penetrated through Tai Yin, causing his spirit to waver!
It was Ouyang Yong!
Rong Country’s State Minister, Ouyang Yong!
He was actually hiding within Xie Baoshu’s army formation!
No wonder this Qi Army remained calm when it should have been chaotic. No wonder this army of over thirty thousand could be maneuvered with such ease!
Ouyang Yong is Rong Country’s pillar, a dual-talented individual in both culture and martial arts. Effortlessly controlling the battle formation of thirty thousand troops is a trivial task for him.
In an instant, Tai Yin understood everything.
If he had mobilized all the forces he could in Hui Ming Fu, it was all to ensure the defeat of Zhongxuan Sheng and Jiang Wang.
After Bao Bozhao’s defeat, these two Qi Armies that swiftly came to attack Noon Sun City... mobilized all the forces the opponent could use in Hui Ming Fu in the shortest possible time!
The endless battle of Xuanping Hou at the Tianfeng Pasture was, of course, a deception for the Qi Army, but it also turned out to be a deception for them, didn’t it?
After the news of the Battle of Noon Sun spread, Zhongxuan Sheng’s unit and Xie Baoshu’s unit immediately marched forward.
The opponent realized the importance of Noon Sun City and also realized that the Xia Army’s strength might far exceed the intelligence, understanding that the Xia Army must have further actions!
In such circumstances, mobilizing troops was clearly too late, and it was impossible to conceal from the Xia Army’s intelligence, so they chose to deploy powerful individuals!
Risking the unrest of the northern cities of Hui Ming Fu, they deployed God Descending Realm masters to the south, secretly hiding Ouyang Yong within the army formation, causing the ambushing Xia Army to be counter-ambushed, putting Tai Yin in a predicament in an instant! What a clever move!
A name appeared in Tai Yin’s heart—Zhongxuan Sheng.
If he guessed correctly, then the other Qi Army God Descending Realm master in Hui Ming Fu, the famous general of Yi Kingdom, Yan Po, should be within Zhongxuan Sheng’s unit.
So is the situation unsolvable now that the ambush has been seen through and even the opponent is using our plans against us?
No!
There is still a chance!
Tai Yin’s mind raced.
Zhongxuan Sheng couldn’t possibly foresee everything. He might anticipate the Xia Army’s ambush but cannot know what kind of strength the Xia Army would use!
On the mountain battlefield, our side is at an absolute disadvantage.
But in the Min Xi Corridor, due to our caution, having the God Descending Realm master Zhou Xiong, having Yisheng Feng, having Chu Min, with fifty thousand Xia Army against thirty thousand Qi Army, the Xia Army still holds the advantage!
In other words, even if facing the worst scenario, with Yan Po indeed hiding within Zhongxuan Sheng’s unit, the Min Xi Corridor battle still has a great chance of victory.
If they can succeed on that front, this ambush will not be considered a failure!
The premise, however, is—
Not to let this army in front go to support the Min Xi Corridor!
