Chapter 318 Please forgive me
Zhao Fengyun fought one against two, but he was not at a disadvantage at all. Instead, he became more and more courageous as the battle went on.

His archery skills are so elusive that it is hard to guard against him.

However, at this moment, dust was flying in the distance, and the follow-up cavalry of the Night Fury Army had arrived one after another.

Seeing the situation on the battlefield, he immediately joined the battle and engaged in a fierce battle with the Qian army led by Fengxue and Lightning.

Seeing that the Night Demon soldiers were numerous and powerful, and Zhao Fengyun was too brave to be defeated, Fengxue and Lightning knew in their hearts that what they did today was impossible.

This makeshift checkpoint could no longer be defended, and continuing to fight would only put them in a more passive situation.

Seeing that things were hopeless, Fengxue and Lightning looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

They knew that if they continued to fight like this, it would be disadvantageous to them.

So they tacitly chose to retreat.

"Zhao Fengyun, today's battle is still undecided."

"There is a long way to go, we will meet again!"

The energy in Lightning's body suddenly jumped up, and he slashed several times in an instant. After leaving a word, his figure flashed and he withdrew from the battle circle, turning around and leaving with Fengxue.

The figures of the two quickly disappeared on the battlefield, leaving only a cloud of dust, and flew towards Minglong Pass.

"Haha, since you two have no intention of fighting, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Zhao Fengyun laughed heartily.

Fengxue and Lightning ran out of the battlefield without looking back, leaving behind only a mess and the cheers of the Night Fury Army.

Zhao Fengyun stood on the wall, looking at the two people fleeing in the distance. He hesitated for a moment, but still did not go to chase them.

The urgent thing now is to clear all the checkpoints outside Minglong Pass before the Night King's army arrives.

Without knowing the current details of Minglong Pass.

It is not a good thing to waste time rashly chasing after him.

Gongsun Yang had already paid the price for his carelessness before.

Zhao Fengyun doesn't want to be tricked again.

Moreover, although this battle is short, it is of great significance, and the morale of the Night Fury Army has been greatly boosted.
That's enough.

At Minglong Pass, Fengxue and Lightning looked back at the Night Fury Army in the distance with serious faces.

Although today's defeat was not due to war, it was due to the loss in numbers and strategy.

But judging from the cautious combat style of the Night Fury Army this time.

If we only rely on Minglong Pass, we may not be able to stop the Yesha Army for long.

The night is as dark as ink, the moon is hanging in the sky, and the silver light is flowing.

Gongsun Yang, who had suffered a defeat in the battle, rode his horse at full speed, passing through layers of tents. The sounds of armor clashing with weapons and the soldiers' muffled conversations were all drowned out by the sound of his galloping horse's hooves.

At this time, his heart was filled with anxiety and self-blame.

He was defeated at the front line this time. Although he was a god of war, he was stopped by two top generals.

Haven't beaten them both yet!
This made Gongsun Yang feel humiliated.

I want to report to the Night King immediately and apologize.

At this time, the lights in the central army tent were bright.

The Night King sat at the desk, a cold light flashing in his deep eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

As Gongsun Yang stepped into the tent, he felt a majestic aura coming towards him.

"I, Gongsun Yang, apologize to the Night King."

"The battle on the front line this time was caused by my lack of strength, which led to General Zhao's help. I hope that King Ye will forgive me."

He took a deep breath, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice.

"General Gongsun, victory and defeat are common in the military, and this defeat is not your fault alone."

"However, you must understand that as a general, your responsibility is heavier than Mount Tai."

"Stand up and tell me the battle situation in detail."

The Night King frowned slightly, staring at Gongsun Yang with a sharp gaze, and after a moment he slowly spoke.

Gongsun Yang stood up and reported the battle situation on the front line to the Night King in detail.

"Although General Gongsun was defeated this time, it was only because those two Qian generals were too cunning."

The Night King spoke slowly, his voice revealing an unquestionable majesty. Gongsun Yang bowed his head and said nothing, his hands clenched into fists, as if blaming himself for not being able to capture the two generals.

His heart was filled with guilt as the vanguard general of the Night Fury Army.

He is fully aware of the heavy responsibility he has, and this defeat is undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.

"The general is not to blame for retaining this combination of skills."

The Night King's voice sounded again, and there was some comfort and understanding in his words.

The battlefield is unpredictable and victory or defeat often happens in a flash.

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Yang looked up at Ye Wang, his eyes gleaming with gratitude.

He was well aware of the Night King's magnanimity and his ability to appoint people to the right positions, which made him more determined to be loyal to the Night Furies.

"General, please stand up."

The Night King continued, his eyes revealing his trust and expectations for Gongsun Yang.

Gongsun Yang stood up and straightened his back again, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best to redeem myself from my crime!"

He took a deep breath and bowed deeply to the Night King.

"General Gongsun's loyalty and talent have always been in my eyes."

"This defeat is not your fault. On the battlefield, victory and defeat are common, General, don't blame yourself too much."

After hearing this, the Night King pondered for a long time before speaking slowly.

These words immediately cleared away the haze in Gongsun Yang's heart.

He regained his confidence and fighting spirit, and was determined to avenge his previous defeat in the next battle.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the tent, and a middle-aged man in brocade clothes walked in. It was Ye Yun, the Night King's right-hand man.

"General Gongsun, you have worked hard."

After he saluted the Night King, he turned to look at Gongsun Yang and nodded slightly.

"General Gongsun, don't be discouraged. The battlefield is ever-changing. Who can predict everything?"

"What's important is that we can learn from it and keep improving ourselves."

Then he turned to Gongsun Yang and said.

"Lord Ye Yun is absolutely right. I will definitely remember this humiliation."

"Next time I see those two villains, I will make them die with my purple gold hammer!"

Gongsun Yang nodded, then said viciously.

"That's great. I believe General Gongsun will shine in the next battle."

Ye Yun looked at the aggressive Gongsun Yang and smiled slightly.

The three of them smiled at each other, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became much more relaxed.

"Yeyun, you've come just in time. What do you think about the upcoming battle?"

The Night King looked at his own brain, Ye Yun, and said in a deep voice.

“Your Majesty, if our army of hundreds of thousands of troops continues to pile up at Minglong Pass, I’m afraid we will end up in a stalemate.”

"In my opinion, we might as well send a detachment to attack or resist the enemies coming from the east of Qianzhou and Hengzhou."

"This will not only disperse the Daqian Dynasty's forces, but also create opportunities for our main forces to fight."

Ye Yun lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"That makes sense. Then, in your opinion, who can take on this important task?"

The Night King thought about it and nodded.

"General Gongsun must be holding back a lot of energy after the defeat on the front line."

"I have a plan that will allow General Gongsun to make up for his crime with meritorious service."

Ye Yun glanced at Gongsun Yang, knowing that the general's fighting spirit had not been dampened by the temporary defeat. He turned to Ye Wang, smiled slightly, and said:
Upon hearing this, Ye Wang raised his eyebrows and motioned Ye Yun to continue.

"Why not let General Gongsun and Qifeng lead a detachment to Hengzhou together?"

Ye Yun slowly told his plan, "General Qifeng is both wise and brave. With her and General Gongsun working together, we will surely be able to hold our heads high and avenge our previous humiliation."
