Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 1341

"Prepare for battle. General Shang will arrive soon enough."

"Yes!"

The soldiers had various expression on their faces. But the most prominent was the look of indignation.

Many of them felt that they had lost without fighting a battle because General Shang ordered them to retreat first. If they had been there, the outcome might be different and they could fight to their bitter end for Zhang Xu Kingdom.

The Commander saw their expression but said nothing.

General Shang was a conservative type of general who would calculate his gain and losses very clearly. But this type of generals often made decision that others couldn't accept so easily.

Unlike Prime Minister Lei who strike more victories and had brought countless gains, General Shang was more of a defensive general. He was valued because of his prowess to defend the frontline but in terms of popularity and prestige, he was far lower than many other generals.

Who liked defense?

Many hot blooded man would rather raise their weapon and strike head on to their enemy's headquarters even at the cost of their lives.

The Commander said nothing and only ordered them to move.

At the side, Chi Song Hui was sitting on top of his horse. His hand was throbbing due to the wound he sustained after battle against Mu Sheng Xi yesterday. General Shang ordered him to retreat this morning, so Chi Song Hui regrouped with this other group.

He looked at the fire and felt indignant.

His soldiers who could move still numbered more than 1000. If he had been there, couldn't he help General Shang to prevent them from retreating like this?

Chi Song Hui was annoyed.

But his position was not suitable for him to speak up about this matter. He could only bury this matter in his heart and hoped that he could recover quickly and participated in the next battle.

'Damn it, old man. The next time, I'll be the one to defeat you.'

Beside Chi Song Hui, his adjutant looked at the commander in front of him and shook his head. He felt that the Jian Family's decision to support Chi Song Hui was wrong.

However, as a servant, what could he do?

He could only follow their arrangement and do his work to the best.

…

<Fei Yang Kingdom's side, Long Qian Xing and the others' location>

The day passed by.

General Chi didn't hold on General Shang for long because it was simply impossible. Their number was not overwhelming nor did their strength. He could only retreat when the gong sounded along with the other commanders.

When he came back, he saw Long Qian Xing was already ordering the soldiers to pack up and prepare to leave tomorrow.

"There won't be any battle tomorrow?" General Chi asked.

"I have destroyed their headquarters." Long Qian Xing glanced at General Chi. "It's more likely they will retreat, so our next battle will be city capturing battle."
