Hu Xi's Great Defeat of the Tianlan Army V

Zhu Tianguang had remained quietly in ambush from the start, watching the Tianlan Tribe army gradually approach. Just as he wanted to give the order to encircle and eliminate them, Lian Wushuang stopped him.

"What are you doing? The general ordered us to encircle and eliminate the Tianlan Tribe remnants. By stopping me, are you trying to let the Tianlan Tribe people escape? Do you know what crime that is?" Zhu Tianguang's eyes widened as though flames might burst from them. He stared fiercely at Lian Wushuang. If Lian Wushuang said a single wrong word, he would probably kill him on the spot.

"Your Excellency Huoguang, there's no need to act rashly yet. Since General Hu sent me with you, he naturally has his reasons! These Tianlan Tribe remnants have merely drawn close, but look carefully—they're only scouts sent ahead to probe the way! Ke Xiong is a cautious man. Even with the Tianlan Tribe army beaten into this state, he isn't hurrying onward. Instead, he sent scouts to investigate! That proves Ke Xiong anticipated that we might set an ambush!"

Therefore, the main force retreating must carry military banners and distinctive markers! I can stake my head on it—these people are definitely here to scout!" Lian Wushuang spoke
