For the sake of safety, Xiang Yu led the team to retreat backwards.

Wolf Fang’s people were all busy with their tasks, some preparing firearms and others gathering supplies.

"Boss, what are they planning to do?" someone beside Xiang Yu asked.

"They’re preparing for a battle." Xiang Yu replied seriously.

Although he hadn’t heard what Lin Youyong was saying earlier, Xiang Yu could guess that after the miserable defeat of the opponent’s team last time, they would definitely launch a large-scale attack this time.

"Judging by their stance, they’ll need some time to get ready. You should take a break first." Xiang Yu said to the people around him.

"Boss, you should take a rest instead, we’ve already had some rest just now."

Seeing Xiang Yu with bloodshot eyes, several people around felt a bit sorry for him.

Xiang Yu didn’t argue and nodded, saying, "Alright."

After saying this, he lay down directly and began to sleep.

These days, Xiang Yu was indeed exhausted, both physically and mentally worn out.

Once lying down, he fell asleep immediately and had a dream. He dreamt of Zhong Min standing before him smiling, but no matter how Xiang Yu chased, he couldn’t catch up to her.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but when Xiang Yu woke up, the sky was already dark; he had slept for an entire day.

"Why didn’t you wake me?" Xiang Yu asked.

The people around him helplessly shook their heads. Xiang Yu was sleeping so soundly that they couldn’t bear to disturb him.

Moreover, they knew that Xiang Yu was very dangerous while sleeping and did not allow anyone to approach him.

"Boss, they’ve started moving." one person said, lying in front of Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Let them go, don’t pay any attention to them."

At that moment, in the distance, Wolf Fang’s team was gathering.

Xiang Yu took out his phone and called Tie Zhuzi.

"Get ready, they’ve started moving." Xiang Yu said directly.

"Brother Yu, rest assured, we’re already prepared, just waiting for them to come." Tie Zhuzi replied confidently.

Xiang Yu made a sound in agreement and then hung up the phone.

Emotionally, Xiang Yu didn’t want to fight with the people of Wolf Fang. When Wang Qian was in charge of Wolf Fang back then, Xiang Yu often came here and had connections with many people in Wolf Fang. Now it has come to guns and cannons, and he truly hesitated.

In about ten minutes, Wolf Fang’s team was neatly prepared.

The front row had eight armored vehicles, followed by Humvees, and then came large trucks similar to China’s Liberation brand.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Yu was very shocked. It seemed Wolf Fang was serious this time. If they had been this earnest from the beginning, Xiang Yu’s team would have fallen long ago.

"Brothers, today’s battle is the time to prove the strength of our Wolf Fang, some people look down on us..."

Lin Youyong made a temporary mobilization and then shouted, "Set off, I’ll be here waiting for your triumphant return."

With his order, Wolf Fang’s team began to move. Now they had everything except aircraft, and judging by their equipment, probably even the official forces of Xiao Xu weren’t as formidable as them.

"Boss, how can we fight this?" Several people around Xiang Yu started to lose confidence.

Before seeing the opponent’s equipment, they had confidence, but now they’ve lost hope.

"Even the most powerful equipment needs people to operate it; it takes bravery to fight." Xiang Yu finished speaking and continued observing.

Inside the base at Lieyun City, Tie Zhuzi, Xi’er, and Jieke were discussing strategies there.

Through the training from the last war, Jieke had been promoted to captain of the City Guard Army.

Not only was he fearless in battle, but his mind was agile and his command was appropriate—a rare military talent.

"Where is the boss now? How is he?" Jieke asked worriedly, looking at Tie Zhuzi.

"Don’t worry about the boss, now that Wolf Fang is advancing on us, focus on figuring out how to defend the city." Tie Zhuzi said seriously.

This was his first time commanding such a large-scale war, and he felt the pressure. Previously, he was beside Xiang Yu and only needed to follow Xiang Yu’s commands—simple and pleasant.

But now, standing at this position looking at the whole situation, he truly understood Xiang Yu’s usual feelings.

"Outside, we’ve arranged the personnel in echelons; there are five layers in total. As long as the losses at the first layer reach one-third, they will retreat to the second layer and join forces with those there. This way, our power continues to increase while the opponent’s strength diminishes." Xi’er pointed to the sand table and explained.

"Great, I didn’t expect you to be a military genius." Tie Zhuzi said approvingly.

Xi’er blushed and said, "This was arranged by the boss when he called me, saying that a Chinese man named Sunzi used this method back in the day."

Tie Zhuzi proudly smiled; Xiang Yu was irreplaceable in his heart.

At eight o’clock in the evening, artillery sounds came from the front line; the opponent’s vanguard had already arrived.

"Jieke, you can lead the team to set out." Tie Zhuzi said seriously to the other party.

Jieke smiled and said, "Rest assured, watch how I kick their ass."

Jieke said confidently, preparing to leave. At this moment, Xi’er followed with a worried look and said, "Jieke, make sure to come back alive."

"Sis, for Sun City and for the boss, I have no regrets." Jieke said and walked out with big steps, looking somewhat heroic from behind.

"Xi’er, have the civilians been settled?" Tie Zhuzi asked Xi’er.

Xi’er hurriedly nodded and said, "They’re all well hidden. Are they planning to form a rear support team like last time?"

Currently, Tie Zhuzi was the acting chief commander, and Xi’er had to consult him for many issues.

Tie Zhuzi shook his head and said, "Not for now, you go there now and keep an eye on them; don’t let any trouble arise."

Xi’er hesitated for a moment but then nodded and said, "Alright, but remember, you’re the chief commander, you must never leave the command room no matter what."

"I understand, no need to worry." Tie Zhuzi replied promptly.

Before leaving, Xiang Yu worried about Tie Zhuzi, so he instructed Xi’er to keep an eye on him and not let him act impulsively.

But now seeing Tie Zhuzi full of confidence and more stable than before, she was relieved.

Xi’er’s task was to ensure the supplies and the safety of the citizens at the rear. With her experience, she was getting familiar with the operations.

Tie Zhuzi sat in the command room, continuously receiving messages from the front line. The personnel deployed in the first echelon were few, and without any buildings around for cover, their defense line was quickly breached.

"Order the frontline personnel to swiftly retreat to the second position, avoid engaging in combat." Tie Zhuzi ordered.

Since the Wolf Fang’s attack until the first line was lost, it took less than forty minutes, which was enough to show Wolf Fang’s strength.

Seeing Xiang Yu’s team retreat, Wolf Fang’s people didn’t rush to attack but advanced cautiously, waiting for the reinforcement from the rear before slow forward progression.

Such cautious advancement might not quickly capture the position but was reliable in stability...
