As Lin Feng led his team away, a cloud of dust rose in the distance. It was the thirty thousand troops of Jing Kingdom marching towards Uto City. The commanding general, riding a tall steed, spotted the city gates wide open from afar and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. He quickly dispatched a small group to scout the situation, and before long, the scouts returned with news that the Wu Kingdom's army had hurriedly departed.
Upon hearing this, a smug smile spread across the general's face. Without hesitation, he issued orders for his forces to easily reclaim Uto City. Once inside the city, he wasted no time in arranging for the Brave Soldiers to guard the walls, anticipating a possible counterattack from the Wu Kingdom.
With everything in place, the general turned his gaze towards the direction Lin Feng had taken. With a wave of his hand, he led his twenty thousand troops in pursuit of Lin Feng like hungry wolves closing in on their prey.
At that moment, Lin Feng was galloping on horseback, focused solely on reaching Tongguan as quickly as possible, completely unaware that pursuers were closing in behind him. When he was still over two hundred miles away from Tongguan, a soldier responsible for covering their retreat rushed up to him, panic etched on his face. "General! Bad news! The Jing Kingdom army is after us!"
Startled by this news, Lin Feng's expression turned grave as he quickly asked, "What? How far are they from us?"
The soldier gasped for breath and replied, "According to scouts, they are only about twenty miles behind us and can already see their banners waving in the air!"
Lin Feng cursed under his breath as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He knew that if the Jing Kingdom army caught up with them, the consequences would be dire. Without hesitation, he commanded, "Everyone speed up! We must head towards Tongguan immediately!"
However, it seemed too late to escape. Before he could finish speaking, a cloud of dust billowed in the distance and the sound of galloping hooves echoed through the air. The elite cavalry of Jing Kingdom swept in like a tempest and closed the distance in an instant.
Seeing this, Lu Yong stepped forward and shouted to Lin Feng, "General! You lead everyone to retreat; I'll hold them off here with your humble general!"
Lin Feng felt an urgent sense of desperation but decisively replied, "No, it's too late for that! We fight together!"
With that, he brandished his spear and prepared to engage in a fierce battle with the enemy. Just then, the sounds of battle erupted from behind as soldiers clashed in close combat, plunging both sides into chaos.
The army of Jing Kingdom was vast and well-trained, quickly encircling Lin Feng and his companions like dumplings in a pot, creating an extremely perilous situation.
Lin Feng thought rapidly; the distance to Tongguan was over two hundred miles, and it would take half a day on horseback to reach it. With urgency etched on his face, he shouted to Lu Yong beside him, "Quick! Take my token and rush to Tongguan for reinforcements! Time is of the essence; we cannot afford any delays."
Lu Yong did not hesitate for a moment. He immediately led a small group of riders, darting toward Tongguan like arrows released from a bow. The sound of hooves echoed across the empty plains, raising clouds of dust.
At the same time, Lin Feng decisively issued orders for everyone to adopt a strategy of fighting while retreating. Despite their brave efforts, the army of Jing Kingdom surged forward like a tide, and gradually, the Wu Kingdom Army found itself trapped in a tight encirclement.
