Seeing the Ji Army's morale on the brink of collapse, Xiao Jingyuan finally stopped hesitating and ordered a retreat.
At this moment, the Generals of Ji Country displayed their prowess, fighting while retreating, alternating cover, and slowly withdrawing, surprisingly managing to lead the main force out of the fortification area.
Although there were still losses during the retreat, the Generals kept the morale suppressed, preventing a rout. Meanwhile, Cangwu fully suppressed the Qingming Artillery, so the Ji Country's losses during the retreat were not overly severe.
When the majority of the army had retreated, all the gray-clothed Daoist Soldiers turned into blue smoke, flew up into the sky, and returned to Cangwu. Upon seeing the few remaining Soldier Beans, Cangwu's lips were almost bloodless.
