The night is as dark as ink, and the fire of war is burning across the prairie fire.
The fighting continued in the distance, and with the "army" of the Tengu Army entering the scene, the fighting had entered a fierce stage.
But unlike the fight over there, there was no one around Wei Changtian and the other three.
Of course, this is not difficult to understand.
After all, Zhuang Zhiming and his men disappeared after the sneak attack. Now the three most advanced people in the entire battlefield are here, and the returning soldiers will not come here stupidly to die.
Therefore, although they were inside the enemy's camp and there was even fighting in the distance, there was deathly silence around Wei Changtian and the other three.
"..."
Looking at Wei Changtian who was frowning in thought, Yang Liushi opened his mouth but hesitated to speak.
She didn't know the reason behind what happened just now, so naturally she didn't know what Wei Changtian was thinking.
Although Qin Zhengqiu noticed that Zhuang Zhiming and others were not trying their best, he did not know the relationship between the latter and Chu Xianping, and he was also full of doubts at this time.
Among the three, only Wei Changtian knows the most information, so now he is the only one who has a rough guess.
Chu Xianping wanted to remind himself not to underestimate the enemy, and this enemy must be Lu Hongji...
The latter's biggest reliance is Kui Long, but although there are many masters among Kui Long, they may not be able to do anything to him and Qin Zhengqiu now...
In this case, there is only one possibility——
This time, the people Lu Hongji sent for reinforcements all practiced the Moon Sword!
"It should be right..."
After muttering something under his breath, Wei Changtian quickly guessed the truth after some simple reasoning.
This is undoubtedly due to Chu Xianping’s timely reminder, but it also raises several questions.
The first is why Chu Xianping helped him again.
The second is why Chu Xianping didn't tell him directly through Zhuang Zhiming's mouth instead of using this obscure method?
After thinking for a while, Wei Changtian had roughly thought of the answer to the second question.
It was obvious that Chu Xianping didn't want Zhuang Zhiming to know that he was helping him.
Wei Changtian doesn't know what kind of calculations and strategies are involved, but he thinks that the relationship between Chu Xianping and Zhuang Zhiming is not a "superior and subordinate" relationship, but a cooperative relationship of "each gets what he needs". That's why Chu Xianping is like this. Do.
So...Chu Xianping really didn’t fight back?
He frowned and stared at a piece of burning wood not far away.
Just when the flame turned from strong to weak, and gradually became the last wisp of flame, Wei Changtian suddenly said in the surprised eyes of Yang Liushi and Qin Zhengqiu:
"Blow the gong and retreat first."
...
...
"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!"
Beat the drum to advance, sound the gong to retreat.
When the harsh and rhythmic sound of gongs suddenly sounded from a distance, the Tengu army quickly left the battlefield at an extremely fast speed.
The original plan was to fight for half an hour, but it ended up being less than two-quarters of an hour.
The Tengu Army officers and soldiers who did not notice anything wrong with the battle situation were actually a little confused as to why they had to withdraw.
Even Yangliu Shi doesn't understand it.
But she still carried out Wei Changtian's order without asking any more questions.
At the same time, Zhuang Zhiming, who was in an ordinary military tent in Qianhui Military Camp, immediately learned of the situation outside.
"Captain, the Tengu army has withdrawn."
"The withdrawal was very sudden, probably because of Wei Changtianxia's order."
"Young Master Chu is right. Wei Changtian is already suspicious. We just succeeded in a sneak attack, but now it seems that he is already wary."
"It's just that my subordinates still don't understand why Mr. Chu wants us to stay..."
In the military tent, a man was talking to Zhuang Zhiming, with a hint of confusion on his face.
It is not difficult to tell from his words that the sneak attack just now was indeed arranged by Chu Xianping.
But he didn't understand why Chu Xianping wanted them to keep their hands.
On the other side, Zhuang Zhiming pondered for a moment, then analyzed with a smile:
"Old Liu, you only saw one, but not the other."
"Wei Changtian is indeed suspicious, so Mr. Chu asked us to sneak attack on him, so that he would be suspicious and not act unscrupulously."
"But you must know that Wei Changtian is also extremely cruel and ruthless, and he will definitely be repaid."
"Let me ask you, even if we use all our strength, can we kill him just now?"
"this......"
The man surnamed Liu was stunned and quickly replied helplessly: "Definitely not."
"Isn't that enough?"
Zhuang Zhiming smiled slightly and continued his analysis very confidently: "Since we can't kill him, the most we can do is wound him."
"And if this happens, he may become angry and recklessly turn the army back into chaos."
"At that time, if we try to stop them, our lives will be in danger. If we don't stop the army, we will be in danger of collapse. Instead, we will put ourselves in a dilemma."
"So, the degree must be grasped just right."
"If it's too light, it won't make Wei Changtian afraid."
"If it's too heavy, it will be counterproductive."
"Oh, Mr. Chu is probably the only one in the world who can do this without taking things seriously..."
Looking up and sighing, it can be seen that Zhuang Zhiming really admires Chu Xianping.
After listening to his analysis, the man opposite him also nodded in realization.
"I see."
"It seems that Mr. Chu's scheme is really unmatched..."
"..."
You said something to me. Although all the above were Zhuang Zhiming's guesses, everyone in the tent felt that this was Chu Xianping's true thoughts.
After all, this analysis can be said to be very reasonable and completely reasonable.
However, compared to such complex and subjective guesses, they all ignored the simplest possibility.
Perhaps Chu Xianping asked them to hold back just because he didn't want Wei Changzhen to get hurt?
...
...
"Hahahaha! Okay!"
"Brother Xianping! Thank you!"
Xinfeng, Anding County.
The official road was winding and bumpy in the night, and there was only a carriage speeding along it.
Bursts of laughter spread far through the car window, and there seemed to be a bit of joy in it.
"Although the army lost more than ten thousand people in this battle, the Tengu army withdrew very suddenly. It must be your arrangement that made Wei Changtian suspicious!"
"Brother Xianping, it's all thanks to you this time!"
"I won't say much more. I will definitely thank you deeply after this battle is over..."
"..."
The voice is loud and the expression is cheerful.
Obviously, Lu Hongji had just received the real-time battle situation from Fengyuan, so he reacted like this at this time.
Chu Xianping, who was sitting opposite him, now had a smile on his lips and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Master Lu, you don't have to be polite. Just remember the deal between you and me."
"Hahaha, don't worry! Of course I will remember it!"
"Well, that's good."
Nodding, Chu Xianping paused for a moment before continuing:
"Master Lu, although the Tengu army temporarily retreats tonight, Wei Changtian will definitely make a comeback in the next few days."
"If you keep using this bluffing approach, I'm afraid it will be discovered sooner or later."
"Only if your people arrive as soon as possible can the situation really be reversed."
"You should understand this, right?"
"clear!"
Lu Hongji smiled and replied: "Brother Xianping, hurry up, they will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest!"
