Xia Yashuang suddenly felt a little disheartened. The situation was now a dilemma. If the war stopped now, I would be sorry for the thousands of soldiers who had died. If we continued to fight, even if we won, we would pay a very painful price. More importantly, Xuan

The iron water has been taken away by the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Even if the coalition forces occupy Peicheng, they will not be able to repair the city wall in time. By then, Jiang Feng's elite troops and the troops of Jinan City and Tai'an City can easily counterattack Peicheng.

Xia Yashuang became extremely confused. He gradually withdrew from the front line of the battlefield and jumped on top of a catapult. The catapult was very high, and the field of view was better here, allowing him to observe the overall battlefield.

I didn't know what I saw, and I was shocked when I saw it. There were actually many people on the flanks of the coalition forces and the rear army retreating. There was no order to retreat, but they actually retreated.

Only half an hour into the battle between the two armies, there were already more and more soldiers deserting. Perhaps the screams of the battle between the front army and the rear army were too terrifying, and the soldiers in the rear army became timid.

The more Xia Yashuang looked at it, the angrier she became. What kind of soldiers she had raised were so greedy for life and afraid of death. But when she thought about it carefully, Xia Yashuang suddenly felt that everything could be explained.

There were 100,000 defenders in Peicheng, but only 50,000 went out to meet the enemy. These 50,000 soldiers were all battle-hardened soldiers who were not afraid of sacrifice and did not care about life and death. Most of the soldiers in the city were new recruits who had not been seen before.

It's okay to let them defend the city on the city wall, but if you let them go out to fight, they will be just cannon fodder. The cowardly ones will even run away, disrupting the morale of the army.

Of the 200,000 coalition troops, at least 100,000 are new soldiers, and only 100,000 troops can actually fight.

100,000 vs. 50,000. Although they still have an advantage in numbers, the price for taking down those 50,000 Pei troops must be very painful.

After comprehensive consideration, Xia Yashuang suddenly blew the retreat horn. Not only that, he also jumped on Jiang Feng's fire dinosaur, spread out his hands, and looked like he was ready to catch it.

Jiang Feng noticed Xia Yashuang and immediately flashed to the fire dinosaur.

Seeing Jiang Feng take off his helmet, Xia Yashuang said with a helpless expression: "Let's stop the war. I was wrong this time. Don't let these soldiers die in a meaningless battle."

"I've been waiting for these words from you."

Jiang Feng immediately ordered the entire army to tighten their forces, arrange their formations on the spot, and stop attacking.

Seeing Xia Yashuang doing this, I was shocked

He and Ye Wuxue were both stunned, but Sima Yi's eyes widened and he was so angry that he vomited blood.

Soon, Jiang Feng's army set up a defensive formation, with shield soldiers in the outermost circle and pikemen in the second row. The sharp spears thrust out from the gaps in the shields.

The coalition forces also temporarily stopped their attack. They retreated about a hundred meters. The front army rearranged their formation and adopted a similar defensive formation, with shield soldiers in the first row and spearmen in the second row.

Xia Yashuang herself stood in the direction of Pei Jun, and Jiang Feng stood next to Xia Yashuang.

This brutal battle, a formal confrontation, only lasted half an hour from the beginning of the war to the ceasefire. Although it was only half an hour, the Pei army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, including more than 3,000 deaths. The casualties of the coalition forces were similar, but the number of deaths was

The number of people was a bit larger, about 5,000.

In just half an hour, more than 8,000 people lost their lives under the night sky.

Xia Yashuang felt distressed looking at the corpse on the ground, so distressed.

Regardless of everyone's objections, Sima Yi rushed to Xia Yashuang alone and shouted excitedly: "Xia Yashuang, what are you doing? What on earth are you doing? It's obviously our advantage, why do we do this?"

Several Pei Army soldiers stopped Sima Yi, but Jiang Feng shouted: "Don't stop him, let him come over."

In this way, Sima Yi came to Xia Yashuang. He kept shaking Xia Yashuang's body and said angrily: "Why are you doing this? Obviously victory belongs to us, why are you?"

Xia Yashuang replied helplessly: "It's meaningless, Sima Yi, let's stop here. Qining City has been occupied, and all the black iron water has been taken away by Song and Yuan. Even if we capture Peicheng, we can't do it in a short time."

Repair the city wall inside.”

"So what? As long as the city is broken, the civilians in the city can be used to threaten Jiang Feng. Even if the city wall is not repaired, Jiang Feng will not dare to counterattack Peicheng."

Hearing such words, Jiang Feng was so angry that he almost couldn't help but tear Sima Yi to pieces. But considering the current situation, Jiang Feng endured it. He didn't speak and just listened.

Xia Yashuang looked at Sima Yi with a disappointed expression: "When did you become like this? Are you really going to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals? Are you really not talking about the bottom line at all?"

"I've told you a long time ago that a woman can't do big things with kindness. Since you have decided to support my actions, you can

You shouldn't be so naive." Sima Yi was very excited.

"I found that this so-called big thing was simply wrong. Because of such a wrong decision, so many people died. How can there be any glory in such a unnecessary sacrifice."

"Hehehehehahahehehehehehe..." Sima Yi suddenly laughed and kept shaking his head.

"What are you doing? Sima Yi." Xia Yashuang hated Sima Yi's strange laughter.

"What you said is right, but they are all wrong. Yes, the biggest mistake I made was trusting you. I made the mistake of following my master." Sima Yi looked up to the sky and roared, his voice very loud.

Xia Yashuang felt that she had been insulted. He pinched Sima Yi's collar and replied very unhappily: "It should be said that I misjudged you. You have no principles at all in doing things. You don't take human life seriously at all."

"Xia Yashuang, it's useless to talk more. We are all here. If you want to kill or behead, please do as you please."

"Come here, handcuff Sima Yi first." Jiang Feng immediately ordered.

When Xia Yashuang saw this, she immediately stopped her and said, "What are you doing? You said you wouldn't hurt anyone."

"Don't worry, I won't break my promise. It's just that Sima Yi, as the commander of the coalition forces, advocates discord with you. In order to avoid the recurrence of war, we must control him first."

"But……"

"Come here, take Sima Yi down." Jiang Feng said forcefully.

When the Pei army soldiers took Sima Yi down, Sima Yi didn't say anything, but kept making that strange chuckle.

That smile seemed to be mocking Xia Yashuang, or laughing at Xia Yashuang.

Jiang Feng could see that Xia Yashuang was in a bad mood, so he said to him: "You are the master, and he is the minister. You must not let him affect your judgment. Moreover, I think what you did was not wrong. You avoided the loss of life.

You have avoided more deaths. Not only your soldiers, but also the people and soldiers of Peicheng will be grateful for what you did today."

"Is what you said true?"

"Justice comes from the heart, but you must have a clear conscience." Jiang Feng patted Xia Yashuang's shoulder.

"Then what should we do now? I'm not sure what Po Kong and Ye Wuxue think yet."
