Chapter 161 Alleviating the Alarm

July 29th, 3:30 pm.

Xiao Yi gave an order: "Withdraw the troops and have lunch!"

As his order was issued, the rain of arrows from the Southern Army stopped immediately.

The alarm was quickly lifted in Kunyang City, and people went out of their homes and began to go about their normal activities.

On the street, vendors set up their stalls again, and people were shopping or chatting, as if the thrilling rain of arrows had never happened.

The soldiers of the Eastern Army also returned to normal.

The soldiers on duty continued to stay at their posts while other soldiers began to prepare lunch.

The soldiers in the kitchen were busy preparing meals. The aroma of the food wafted over, making people hungry.

All the main generals were present in the main tent.

Qin Rubing said to Wang Feng:

"General Wang, I have a special operation this afternoon. Just give me a hundred men."

Everyone present was stunned.

One hundred people are enough?

Wang Feng did not dare to delay and quickly counted the hundred people and let Qin Rubing take them away.

Noon.

At this time, the Confederate soldiers were gathering in more than a hundred tents to enjoy lunch.

These tents are located at a certain distance from each other.

The nearest camp to the city wall was located two miles outside the city wall, which was the army's forward position.

Inside the main tent, Xiao Yi and a few of his close associates were eating and chatting in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Suddenly, a soldier rushed in, "Report--"

Xiao Yi was shocked. In all these days of the expedition, there had never been any urgent military information.

"Why are you panicking? Are there any rules?" Deputy Commander Li Xi said unhappily.

The soldier quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, saying repeatedly: "Master, please calm down."

Xiao Yi put down his chopsticks and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

The soldier looked up and said, "Someone is coming out of the city."

"What? There are tens of thousands of people? Prepare to fight."

Xiao Yi stood up quickly, and everyone else quickly put down their chopsticks and stood up.

The soldier waved his hands quickly and said incoherently: "No, no need, there are only a hundred people."

Xiao Yi slammed the table and glared at the soldier.

"Please explain yourself clearly. Are you here to deliver a letter of surrender? No!"

The soldier was so scared that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "Master, calm down. They have already gone back."

"You went back?" Deputy Commander Li Xi said angrily, "You! Tell me everything from beginning to end. What happened?"

The soldier said, “Just now, a hundred men came down from the city wall along ropes.

They moved very quickly, ran to a place a mile away from the city wall, and poked a few wooden signs on the ground.

Then they ran back quickly.”

Li Xi looked at Xiao Yi and then asked, "What's written on the wooden sign?"

"There is a minefield ahead. It is dangerous. No entry is allowed. Anyone who mistakenly enters will be blown to pieces."

The soldier recited it word for word.

Xiao Yi frowned and looked at the others, "What is a landmine?"

All shook their heads.

"never heard of that."

"Scary, huh?"

Li Xi thought for a moment and said:

"That's not right. They said the minefield was dangerous and we couldn't enter it. So why were the 100 people from the Eastern Army able to come and go freely?"

"That's right, they can leave, but we can't?"

Listening to everyone's chatter, Xiao Yi pondered for a long time and said:

"Pass the order down and send a small team to the so-called minefield to check it out.

I want to see what the Eastern Army is up to."
