When Jiang Huai saw what had just happened, he couldn’t help but reveal a smug smile, as if the goddess of victory was already waving at him. However, one could not be complacent too early. Jiang Huai was not happy for long before an accident immediately happened.

With a whoosh, there was the sound of the cannonball rubbing against the wind when it flew at high speed. Then, it lasted for a second, and the sound of the air breaking kept appearing.

However, Jiang Huai didn’t think too much about it. He thought that it was a continuous attack from his side. It wasn’t until the bomb exploded that he was truly dumbfounded.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Consecutive explosions sounded from behind the military camp. At this moment, Jiang Huai finally understood that the situation he had imagined had indeed happened.

“The enemy is in the rear. Find cover quickly and fire flares. Mortars bombard and counterattack indiscriminately.” There was a momentary pause, and Jiang Huai reacted in a panic. He shouted as loudly as he could, trying to be heard by as many people as possible. “The formation at the front will remain unchanged. Take down Cang Xin as quickly as possible. All combatants in the military camp, get to work and guard the defense line.”

No matter how fast Jiang Huai reacted, he had already lost a lot of people. The remaining people did not have 100% combat ability.

When Cang Xin saw this scene, a smile immediately spread across his face. She knew very well that the person who could attack from behind Jiang Huai at this time must have been sent by Ye Ying.

“Brothers, hit him hard. Our reinforcements have arrived. We’ll bury Jiang Huai here tonight.” Cang Xin shouted loudly. She even had the thought of leading the charge, but she was still stopped by Captain Gong.

“Get everyone to retreat. Since we can’t attack, let’s not waste any more time. Retreat and conserve our strength. As long as we can return alive, there’s still a chance.” Jiang Huai took out the map and prepared for the worst. If this operation failed, he had to evacuate everyone safely.

“Damn it, Ye Ying really has a death wish. We gave him face and didn’t touch him first. In the end, he came back to help Cang Xin.” The assistant’s eyes were filled with anger. At this moment, he wished he could cut Ye Ying into a thousand pieces. “He made us lose so many brothers. If I go back alive, I definitely won’t let him have an easy time.”

Although Jiang Huai didn’t say anything about this, the seed of hatred had already been planted in his heart. However, he did not have the time to think about this for the time being. The most important thing now was to escape with his brothers.

Following Jiang Huai’s order, everyone returned to the temporary base. The situation that had been filled with flames of war a moment ago instantly fell silent. There wasn’t even a burst of gunfire.

“Sect Master, what should we do now? It looks like Jiang Huai’s people have all retreated.”

Captain Gong raised his head slightly and roughly looked around the battlefield. He realized that there was no one on the other side. “Should we order all our brothers to retreat and rest, or should we take the initiative to go forward and pursue victory?”

“Is there a need to ask? Of course we have to chase after them. We and Ye Ying’s forces have formed a pincer attack on them, and our morale is at its peak. When will we encounter such a good opportunity a second time?”

Cang Xin answered without thinking, “If we can use this opportunity to destroy a large number of Jiang Huai’s forces, won’t it be easy to annex him when we recover our strength?”

“As expected of the Sect Master. What you said makes sense.” Captain Gong responded and then turned his attention to the large number of soldiers beside him. “Brothers, the Sect Master will reward those who make outstanding contributions tonight and obtain the heads of the other party’s captain and above.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers became even more excited, emitting fighting spirit from the inside out.

“Charge!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining forces of Cang Xin came out in full strength. They were like surging tides, and they all gathered in front of Jiang Huai’s temporary camp like an army pressing down on the border.

At this moment, the team led by Chang Ling was also pressing forward step by step, reducing Jiang Huai’s range of action..
