The fighting in Iai City was in full swing.

Even if Cheng Hong is just pretending, once the fight breaks out, it's not him who has the final say.

Even Cheng Hong himself was puzzled.

Originally, looking at the appearance of Iai City, there was a strong intention to cooperate with him in this trip, but everyone just clicked on it.

But in the middle of the siege battle, Ouyang Lixing suddenly stepped up his offensive and even planned to take this opportunity to break out of Ihe City.

This shocked Cheng Hong.

He has deployed a total of 600,000 troops at the South City Gate!

Originally, I just wanted to show off and let the soldiers under my command vent their anger, so as to smooth over Hua Chenglu's death.

But who would have thought that Ouyang Lixing, who had been very cooperative at first, suddenly stepped up his offensive. Now it was not a question of whether to attack the city, but that his 600,000 troops were simply trapped under the city.

Not only that, Cheng Hong even saw that the closed gate of the south city gate, which they were supposed to break open, also seemed to be about to be opened.

Given the current situation, if a large number of cavalry troops rush out from the south city gate, the 600,000 people being beaten outside the city may not be able to defend themselves.

What's even more disgusting is that once the cavalry cuts in and the two sides are mixed together, he doesn't even dare to use the catapult, otherwise he won't know whether more people will die on the other side or on him if the cannon fire continues.

Is Ouyang Lixing crazy?

Cheng Hong couldn't understand, but this was not the time for him to think quietly.

If you don't make a decision, the other party might really rush out!

Now he has two choices.

First, mobilize all the troops on the blockade to forcefully attack the South City Gate.

Although there are many defenders here at the South City Gate, once he mobilizes all his troops, there will naturally be a battle, and there is at least a 50% certainty that he can use this to invade Ihe City and finally capture Ouyang Lixing.

Even if Ouyang Lixing did not hesitate to risk the loss of a large number of soldiers and escape through other empty city gates, he would not be afraid.

This was originally a basis for him to blockade Iai City.

Ouyang Lixing is certainly scary, but how scary can an Ouyang Lixing be if he has no troops?

As long as his main force is taken down, even if Ouyang Lixing escapes, Cheng Hong will win the battle.

Ouyang Lixing, who had no soldiers or generals, ran back to Fengqi Province, so he could only burn a handful of paper.

But there is only a 50% chance!

So he has a second option.

Withdraw your troops quickly and stay the same.

Ouyang Lixing wanted to rush out now, but he also saw the suppressed 600,000 troops under the city, and found an opportunity.

But what if Cheng Hong retreats?

His second option is to try his best to ensure that the 600,000 troops do not suffer too much loss. Then after returning to the blockade, the situation will be the same as before, with Iai City firmly under control.

If these 600,000 troops are not dealt with, Ouyang Lixing will not dare to chase and fight. In that case, he will lose the biggest advantage of Chopsticks - the city defense of Ihe City!

This is a safer approach.

Although he could not make any achievements, he could not capture the city of Ihe, nor could he capture Ouyang Lixing alive, but he was able to make no mistakes and still trapped Ouyang Lixing in the city of Ihe.

Which of the two methods is better for Cheng Hong?

In other words, should he bet on the 50% chance?

Of course...no!

Cheng Hong has always been known for being prudent. For him, it is best not to take risks that can be avoided.

Don't seek merit, but seek no faults.

This is Cheng Hong's motto.

So, with almost no time to think, Cheng Hong made a decisive decision.

"Send the order, ring the gold, and withdraw the troops!"

Cheng Hong, who had already made up his mind, immediately gave the order.

"This...general?"

However, what he received in exchange for his order was the hesitation of the lieutenant beside him.

Aren't you going to attack the city?

The lieutenant looked at him, hesitant.

"What, you didn't hear what I said?"

Cheng Hong stared, but he was not surprised by this situation.

In fact, when he finished speaking, there was more than one deputy general looking at him?

All the generals at the scene who heard this order with their own ears cast their eyes on Cheng Hong.

Some people had doubts and confusion in their eyes, while others were glaring at Cheng Hong angrily.

The battle has just begun!

Didn't they go to war this time to avenge General Hua Chengluhua?

Oh, saying it's revenge may not be quite accurate.

Before Hua Chenglu died, the people present actually had quite a few complaints about this general who only wanted to huddle in the back and enjoy himself.

But what Hua Chenglu represents is the Bailie Empire after all!

Now he was assassinated by someone sent by Ouyang Lixing (actually not). This was not just killing Hua Chenglu, this was simply a slap in the face of the Bailie Empire!

In addition, when the news was spread at that time, Cheng Hong also sent people from behind to stir up trouble in the army, so that the public sentiment was heated.

The current momentum has not passed yet. Will the siege that just started be stopped by Cheng Hong?

Are you joking?

Playing house?

Or... is Cheng Hong afraid?

As expected, they are not of my kind!

For a moment, the deputy generals around him looked at Cheng Hong with eyes filled with contempt.

How could Cheng Hong not understand?

But is this still the time to vent your anger?

A ball of fire suddenly shot up in his heart, and he said angrily: "Why are you still standing there?"

"Is it impossible to want them to die?"

The sudden hand pointed sharply, but it was the 600,000 elite soldiers who were struggling to support the city under the artillery fire.

"General, I can understand your desire for revenge, but you also know what your priorities are!"

"Otherwise, you won't be able to take revenge, but instead allow the other party to expand the results of the victory. Are you satisfied with that?"

Cheng Hong denounced every word and every word, leaving everyone present speechless.

"Okay, if anyone thinks he can win this battle, he can come forward now!"

At the end, Cheng Hong said angrily: "This general can hand over the military power to you and let you lead the troops. What do you think?"

As soon as this statement came out, no one responded.

Yes, everyone present was not angry, but this did not mean that they could not see the situation clearly.

It's just that they can't do it themselves, but they don't want Cheng Hong to do it.

They still want Cheng Hong to bring them a big victory. In addition to using this to avenge Hua Chenglu, they also want to teach Iihe City a lesson.

But their coach, Cheng Hong, chose to retreat at the very beginning of the battle.

Ming Jin to retreat the troops?

These 600,000 troops were thrown in, but they didn't even touch a single brick of the opponent's wall!

I wanted to vent my anger, but instead I became even more depressed. Who can bear this?

Of course, if you can't stand it, you can't stand it, but no one is stupid enough to take over the military power from Cheng Hong at this juncture.
Chapter completed!
