Chapter 1999: Chapter 2100: The Opponent’s Confusion Tactic

Whether it was the City Guard Army or the captain of the self-defense force, both had arrived, and they were uncomfortable not having seen Xiang Yu.

"Your chief has not returned yet; I will be commanding this battle," Long Wu said with a stern face.

The others looked at each other, evidently doubting Long Wu’s command capabilities.

Although Long Wu’s status was also high in people’s hearts, their impression of her was that of a business genius, beautiful and elegant.

But this is war, not child’s play.

Seeing the doubts among the people, Xi’er immediately stood up and said, "President Long has been by the chief’s side for many years; she is a person of experience, I agree with her command."

The others hesitated for a moment but then also expressed their agreement.

Now with Xiang Yu’s life or death unknown, Tie Zhuzi lying in bed, and Xiaoxuan not back, only Long Wu could command and win the people’s respect.

"Since this is the case, I will assign missions." Long Wu had someone spread out the map and then began to deploy defense tasks.

Long Wu had studied this war and therefore spoke clearly and logically.

The various captains also nodded in agreement.

"Does everyone understand their duties?" Long Wu asked.

"Understood."

Just then, a cannon shot suddenly sounded from afar, shaking the entire command post.

There was a bit of panic in everyone else’s eyes; this was a signal that the enemy was starting to attack.

However, Long Wu remained calm, not taking the cannon sound seriously at all.

Seeing Long Wu’s calm demeanor, they felt much more assured and quickly rushed to their posts.

The war finally ignited, with the enemy attacking Lieyun City from two routes.

The enemy’s firepower was fierce, and since they had armored vehicles leading the way, the battle quickly reached a fever pitch.

Although the enemy’s firepower was strong, they were at a geographical disadvantage as they were in an open plain with nothing to conceal them.

Had it not been for the armored vehicles clearing the way, they would all have been live targets.

"Don’t shoot their armored vehicles, shoot the people behind them, aim carefully before firing," the captain of the City Guard Army shouted.

At this moment, Long Wu and Xi’er arrived at the front line, with bullets whizzing past them, yet neither retreated.

When others saw Long Wu, it was as if a fire was ignited in their hearts.

"Chief, please return now, it’s dangerous here," the captain shouted, standing upright in front of Long Wu.

"It’s okay, I want to fight alongside my brothers," Long Wu shouted back.

The sound of gunfire drowned out their voices, but Long Wu’s words quickly spread.

At this time, they thought of Xiang Yu; Long Wu and Xiang Yu were a perfect match, even their speaking manner was alike. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Chief, your command post is in the rear. Please return; otherwise, you might affect the brothers’ fighting," the captain said.

Long Wu circled the front line and only returned to the rear after much persuasion from everyone.

"Tell the brothers, they must withstand their attack. We have the geographical advantage; they just want to charge quickly and reduce losses. We absolutely must not give them this chance," Long Wu resolutely said.

Xi’er nodded and conveyed this order.

The battle was fierce; the enemy kept charging as if desperate, but each time they approached the City Guard Army’s station, they were pushed back.

The battlefield was strewn with corpses.

At this moment, in the enemy’s rear, Darzi paced back and forth anxiously.

"What’s going on? Why can’t we capture such a large area after so long? What are you all doing?" Darzi angrily said.

"Chief, they are fighting desperately. We’ve charged five times, but each time we’re beaten back. This won’t work; we must think of another way," someone suggested.

"What way? Speak up," Darzi angrily said.

If the allied forces were still here, everything would be fine; he could let the other teams be the scapegoats while his team seized the opportunity.

But now it’s just him and Wolf Fang’s people, facing the same situation on another front.

"Chief, we’re at a geographical disadvantage. If we press the attack, we’ll suffer. We could..." The person whispered something in Darzi’s ear.

Darzi nodded, "That’s a good suggestion. First, withdraw the main force and have others put on a show."

The person nodded with a smile and went to convey the message. Just then, Darzi suddenly said, "Wait, don’t inform Wolf Fang of this method yet; let them fight hard."

"Yes!" The person replied and quickly walked away.

At this moment, Long Wu was in the command post looking at the map.

"Report." Someone hurriedly ran in, "Chief, the attack from the south has weakened; their main force seems to have quietly retreated."

"What, they’ve retreated? Is this information accurate?" Xi’er asked with some excitement.

The communication officer nodded quickly, "We’ve observed it carefully; their main force has quietly retreated."

"How is the battle in the north?" Xi’er asked.

"It’s still fierce in the north, the enemy attacks fiercely," the communication officer replied.

Xi’er waved him off, then looked at Long Wu, "Could it be they gave up upon meeting resistance?"

Long Wu studied the map carefully, then shook her head, "Impossible, the southern troops are very strong, and they were the fiercest at the start. There must be another reason for their quiet retreat now."

"Could it be that complex?" Xi’er said.

"Send someone to closely monitor the southern troops’ situation and report any problems immediately," Long Wu decisively ordered.

Xi’er nodded and sent someone down to do so.

"What on earth are they up to?" Long Wu paced in circles, then took Xi’er to the southern battlefield.

She wanted to verify in person if the enemy’s troops had really retreated.

Upon reaching the southern frontline, she could hear the gunfire ahead, but the bullets didn’t seem to be aimed anywhere.

The City Guard Army was well hidden here, with no need to return fire—no necessity.

Since it was very safe here, the City Guard Army didn’t demand Long Wu leave.

At this moment, someone hurriedly came over and reported, "Chief, we’ve received intelligence that their main force has retreated to Sun City and is resting."

"What, resting?" Long Wu asked incredulously.

The communication officer nodded firmly, "Yes, resting."

"Could they be luring us over?" One captain suggested.

Long Wu shook her head, then sneered, "How’s the situation in the north?"

The communication officer quickly reported, "The northern battlefield is in fierce battle; they keep attacking with no intention to stop, and both sides have casualties. If they continue attacking, our defenses might be breached before evening."

"One side retreats, the other side attacks fiercely; what kind of confusing tactic is this?" Long Wu muttered suspiciously.
