But... when the group of troops led by Liu Feng caught up with the army, Wei Yan turned around and took a look, but did not see Liu Feng.
"Where's the eldest son?
Why didn't I come with you?"
Wei Yan asked this question, but Liu Feng's subordinates also looked at each other. Before they could speak, Wei Yan had some bad premonition——
"We...we thought that the eldest young master had come to the front with you a long time ago...General, didn't you see the eldest young master too?"
In the second or two that Wei Yan was in a daze, the enemy's answer came from the dense forest higher up:
"Is this the general you are looking for?"
When he heard this sentence, Wei Yan felt cold in his heart.
When he raised his head, he saw one...or should be said to be two figures appearing at the end of the mountain road.
Liu Feng, who was next to the burly man at the moment, seemed to have been knocked unconscious. After all, there were no obvious wounds on his body——
Should it be called unfortunate or fortunate, but in the final analysis, this scene put Wei Yan into a dilemma.
Some of the soldiers behind Wei Yan gritted their teeth, and some even began to quietly bend their bows and arrows, hoping to sneak attack from the side——
However, before he could take aim, from the woods on the side, an arrow pierced his palm with great accuracy.
“Ahhhhh——”
"General Wei Yan, right?
Please also watch your soldiers and don’t let them make unnecessary movements, otherwise... I can’t guarantee this life.”
The soldier's screams spread throughout the army and caused a commotion.
The opponent can shoot so accurately even through the shield...which means that they have now completely fallen into the enemy's trap.
When they think of this, many people feel a little frustrated.
"Don't move, let me negotiate with the other party——"
Although Wei Yan said this, he was tapping his armor gently.
There were naturally veterans who had followed Wei Yan for a long time behind him, and they soon discovered the signal sent by Wei Yan - this was the code they had prescribed before, but they were just interpreted by tapping.
【Wait for my order to counterattack the enemy.
】
After learning that Wei Yan did not intend to sit still and wait for death, several veterans hurriedly conveyed Wei Yan's orders in an extremely covert manner.
The army finally calmed down and just hid behind the shield, watching everything in front of them quietly.
Wei Yan, on the other hand, walked forward slowly and walked out of the military formation alone.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Fei Zhan really didn't expect that Wei Yan could stand in front of him so calmly. Even though the other party was alone and completely exposed to their shooting range, Fei Zhan couldn't take the risk——
He had seen Wei Yan's top skills from just now and even from the previous fights. If he wasn't 100% sure, he wouldn't have dared to give orders easily. At least... the other party hadn't shown any obvious desire to attack.
.
"It's very simple. Everyone, retreat. I know what you are thinking. You want people to contain Poyang's main army on the front battlefield, and then the two generals will lead the troops to climb down from Shiyin Mountain and surprise Poyang's rear..."
"But it's a pity that General He Qi had foreseen everything——"
Because Liu Feng was indeed an unexpected gain, Fei Zhan could only use this method to deceive Wei Yan after much deliberation.
But...he didn't realize the flaw in his words.
In short... Hearing what Fei Zhan said, the soldiers behind Wei Yan all stood up - the other party directly told them their plan, so... wouldn't their trip have been in vain now?
And the biggest problem is that when they came to Shiyin Mountain this time, they took the risk of using Pang Tong's military advisor as bait.
However, if everything was expected by the other party, wouldn't Pang Tong be in great danger?
Sure enough, as Fei Zhan expected, Wei Yan's army began to waver.
When Peng Hu and others who were observing in the distant forest saw this, they also clenched their fists...
Not only Fei Zhan and Peng Hu, but all the people in Shanyue hope that they won't fight each other desperately this time.
In the fight just now, everyone felt the strength of the enemy - they may be a little ahead of the opponent in archery, but this is not enough to close the gap in the overall quality of the two sides.
After all...the opponent is an elite infantryman trained by one of the princes. If they can be easily dealt with by guys like them who are almost reduced to bandits, this war will not have so many twists and turns.
The key is... in the encounter just now, they lost nearly forty brothers across the mountain——
The number of enemy soldiers far exceeds theirs, and the Shanyue people are a weak group. They are one less and cannot withstand the test of such a high-intensity battle from the other side.
In short... Due to various factors, Fei Zhan chose to use Liu Feng to defraud the other party——
However, Wei Yan, who has suffered a lot and studied with Zhuge Liang for nearly a year, is no longer the self-righteous reckless man he was before.
After hearing what the other party said, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.
"General Wei, what are you laughing at?"
Fei Zhan frowned and couldn't help but put his dagger against Liu Feng's neck.
Liu Feng still hadn't woken up, and Wei Yan's expression didn't change much.
"Is the truth really what you say?
Why do I feel that you are deceiving me?"
Wei Yan suddenly asked this question, which shocked Fei Zhan, but after all, Fei Zhan was a man who had experienced great storms, and he did not panic, but...he suddenly began to doubt whether his words had revealed something.
Soon, Wei Yan revealed everything:
"If it is true as you said, your General He Qi saw through our plan, then why did he send you Shanyue people, who are clearly unable to stop us, to carry out such an arduous task?"
Peng Hu, who was hiding in the dense forest, was stunned. He slapped his forehead and suddenly showed an extremely painful expression on his face.
"broken…"
"We think each other is so stupid!"
"oops…"
Just as Peng Hu said, Fei Zhan also realized the problem.
If he hadn't said those words and hadn't wanted to force the other party back... maybe there wouldn't have been any flaws.
Now... they are in a very embarrassing situation.
"how?
Judging from your expression, I must be right?"
Wei Yan snorted coldly, looked at Fei Zhan's tangled look, and started tapping his fingers on his side again.
【Wait for my order...】
The people behind Wei Yan reacted immediately. Knowing that Wei Yan was about to take action, everyone became extremely tense.
"Yes...how about that?
I think it’s impossible for you not to know this person’s identity…”
"That's right, why don't you put forward some other conditions?
I think you Shanyue people don’t really want to sacrifice your lives for He Qi, right?
Let me guess... you probably discovered our traces, but you had some conflicts with He Qi, so you were the only one to stop us?"
"How about this, this time, you will let us go together. Afterwards, I will petition the lord to give you sufficient food and grass funds to ensure that you can have food and clothing without worries for the rest of your life, and even..."
"Even if any of you want to join the army, we will treat it properly?"
In fact, this negotiation has long been stalled. The reason why Wei Yan is like this is just looking for a suitable opportunity to take action.
Seeing that the other party fell into silence, Wei Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.
