The battle had turned into a silent standoff between the two sides. Due to Hei Lang's delay in giving orders, the soldiers from both sides began to retreat to their own camps.
The aide-de-camp had finally escaped from Zhongli Mei's encirclement. Naturally, he wouldn't run to Hei Lang and remind him why he had retreated when he seemed to have the upper hand.
Under the influence of various factors, the Crane Wing Formation gradually transformed into the Square Circle Formation that Zhong Limei was extremely proficient in.
The Square Circle Formation was a combination of a circular formation and a circular formation. It was composed of multiple circular formations, with the general in the center and various layers of defense. The long-range attackers from the rear just happened to surround the periphery while the mobile troops were within.
Zhong Limei's original plan was to fight while retreating, but now that he saw the other party's weakened state, he felt that his worries were unnecessary.
The deputy general finally heaved a sigh of relief when he returned to his camp. However, he was unwilling to watch the other party leave the battlefield just like that.
However, he didn't have the guts to give chase.
After hesitating for a moment, he took a step forward and whispered in Hei Lang's ear, "Great Leader, the other party has retreated. Should we give chase?"
"Give chase?
Give chase my ass! "Hei Lang felt that he had finally found a way to vent the nameless anger in his heart.
He raised his hand and viciously knocked the adjutant's head.
Then, he glared at the unlucky adjutant with a gaze as sharp as a knife. Just when the adjutant thought that he was going to be hacked to death by Hei Lang, Hei Lang spat out two words hatefully.
"Retreat!"
The adjutant wanted to say something, but unexpectedly, when he lowered his head, he saw the body of the unlucky flagbearer lying on the ground. He just happened to meet the eyes of the other party who died with grievances.
The adjutant felt a sudden chill run down his spine. His mind suddenly flashed with the miraculous arrow shot of the other party, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
He turned around to take a look. Although there were thousands of soldiers and horses between them, that majestic silver figure still gave him a deep sense of oppression.
This person was too terrifying, taking the head of a general of the three armies.
There was no one who didn't love their lives. No matter how far they hid, as long as they were on the battlefield, they would still be hit. This terrifying feeling made him lose the courage to continue chasing.
Glancing left and right, he could only dejectedly order his subordinates to beat the gong to retreat.
And for the Black Wolf Tribe, who had always been incomparably belligerent, for the first time felt that the sound of retreating was so pleasing to the ears.
What they didn't know was that this kind of psychological cowardice was the most undesirable thing. Zhong Limei also didn't know that that arrow had already cast a shadow over the entire enemy army.
As long as one had seen this arrow, the next time they met him on the battlefield, they would feel the fear that their lives would be taken at any time.
This was the most beautiful mental deterrence!
"General, they didn't chase after us."
While Zhong Limei led his troops to escape, the two deputy generals naturally returned to the main general's side.
"I think they were stunned by the general's arrow."
The other deputy general laughed out loud, his heroic spirit rising. The blood of the enemy on his body added a bit of wildness to him.
Zhong Limei smiled but didn't say anything. All of this was planned by the young master. The others didn't know, so they were naturally shocked and incomparably powerful.
Although he also admired the young master, the shock in his heart was much smaller.
Furthermore, this was mainly due to his Wind Chasing Arc Arrow. He knew his own archery skills, and it wasn't impossible for it to cause such an effect.
"Before we return to the valley, it's best not to let down our guard. Try to increase our speed as much as possible." Zhong Limei raised his brows and ordered.
The deputy general looked at Zhong Limei in confusion.
"General, the enemy has already ordered us to retreat. Why are we still so afraid of them?"
Zhong Limei was silent for a moment and said, "We took a unique path and caught them off guard. Let me put it this way, if I shot that arrow at the Black Wolf Tribe, then it would most likely be intercepted by the Black Wolf Tribe.
If such a result occurred, I don't need to say what the consequences would be. "
When the two deputy generals heard this, their body suddenly shook. The hot sweat that rose from the battle suddenly cooled down.
Both of them were smart people. After a little thinking, they understood the key point. Immediately they ordered their soldiers to speed up their return.
Zhong Limei nodded with satisfaction.
"Don't be too nervous. This time our original mission was to inquire about the enemy's actual situation.
Now we not only know the details of the enemy, but also made them lose at least 20,000 soldiers. This is already more than fulfilling our mission. "
Zhong Limei, as a qualified general, naturally knew that he couldn't blindly pour cold water on his subordinates.
Using both kindness and severity was the way of the king.
"However, we also lost more than 4,000 brothers." Zhong Limei's tone sank.
"I hope that the next time we fight, we can avenge our brothers."
"General, we understand!" The two deputy generals nodded together. Their simple and resolute faces were full of firmness.
In the valley, Li, who was sitting in the main seat of the tent waiting for news from the front line, was also worried.
Although all aspects of the plan had been taken care of, he still felt uneasy when he didn't hear any definite news.
The remaining soldiers who stayed behind to guard Li also had a dignified expression on their faces.
Winning with fewer people was originally a very difficult thing. Even if it was Zhong Limei, they were still worried.
The most important thing was, if they really couldn't come back, for the Daqin, losing a general like Zhong Limei was even more painful than losing tens of thousands of elite soldiers.
Although this sounded very cruel, it was the truth.
"Reporting — —"
"Come in." Li quickly stood up from his seat.
"No need to kneel, just say it."
The messenger stopped bowing and couldn't hide his excitement. "General Zhong succeeded, and the Hu people didn't dare to pursue.
They are now coming to the valley! "
