At this moment, Duan Liushao, Sang Huaiyu, and company were standing on top of the city gate tower, looking at the nearby Ning Nan Army.

By their side, the personal guards stood on guard, and from their distance, they could just see the two generals in the middle of the Southern Ning Army.

Duan Liushao picked up the distant mirror and saw Feng Ning Yan, clad in a silver armor and red robe, holding a long spear in her hand as she stood behind the array.

Sang Huaiyu frowned and said, "The enemy's numbers are a bit lower than what we estimated, at most twenty thousand people."

Duan Liushao also looked over with rapt attention. Seeing that the Southern Ning Army doesn't have as many as fifty thousand people, he coldly snorted and said, "What fifty thousand people are you talking about? You're bluffing! Our army of 30,000 plus has an army that is absolutely stronger than the army of the O Nation.

Sang Huaiyu saw that the enemy was weaker and she was stronger. This was a good opportunity to take down Feng Ningyan.

This Southern Yong Pass is easy to defend and hard to attack. He, Ning Nan Army, is powerful, and our Southern Wilderness Army is not weak, how can we not fear and fight?

Even though she felt that Feng Ningyan's intelligence was unfathomable, Sang Huaiyu hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement to Duan Liushao's idea.

At this moment, Feng Ningyan also saw Duan Liushao. Seeing the enemy standing in front of Nan Yong Pass, she couldn't help but feel hatred as she shouted,

"Brothers of the Southern Ning Army! The Southern Yong Pass is the checkpoint that our Southern Ning Army has guarded for many years, it is the national gate of our Yue! Now, you see, it is the enemy flag that is flying from the top of the city! Brothers, do you want to take back the Southern Yong Pass?! "

The soldiers were indignant and roared in unison, "Yes!"

"The Southern Yong Pass is right in front of us!" Feng Ning Yan held her long spear and pointed at the city wall not too far away, "I will wash away my shame today!"

On top of the city walls, Duan Liushao and a few others were looking at the army under the city. They saw Feng Ning Yan raise her hand and fall to the ground.

Duan Liushao sneered as he took a step forward and shouted, "Forward Battalion, listen up! Come out and meet the enemy!"

Li Yuanxiong and the other high-ranking officers had long been waiting inside the city gates for orders. The moment they heard the order to attack, they became extremely excited, opened the gates and rushed out.

Although Jiang Chongming also wanted revenge, he was now a general of the Southern Yong Pass. His duty was to protect Duan Liushao and protect the city, so he stayed on top of the city walls and commanded the garrison troops to prevent the Southern Ning Military Department from raiding the city.

Duan Liushao was so excited that his eyes shone brightly. As long as he won this battle, he would be able to openly capture Feng Ningyan and let this woman know of his strength!

Seeing the Crown Prince looking complacent and staring at Feng Ning Yan, afraid that she would fly away, Sang Huaiyu could not help but worry. She turned her fan and frowned.

At the foot of the city, the shouts of the Southern Wilderness' army could be heard across the sky, but the four formations of the Southern Ning Army were still standing in their original positions without any disorder.

The soldiers in the front row were lined up densely, not moving at all.

Feng Ning Yan was mounted on a horse. She watched as the city gates of the Southern Yong Pass slowly opened up, and squadrons of cavalry galloped towards the battle formation. A faint smile appeared on her face as she spoke to Li Yao.

"The Southern Yong Pass reigns at the borders and has been through many wars for hundreds of years. Countless people have used their lives to prove that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Duan Liushao, this impulsive faction, doesn't believe in this evil."

It sounded like there was still a little bit of pity for Duan Liushao.

Li Yao laughed heartily. "I was really afraid that Duan Liushao would follow General Sima's example and not be able to come out alive. I was just worried about how to goad him into action, but who would've thought that this guy would actually take on the enemy without even thinking? He clearly thinks that our army is weaker than theirs, so we might as well fight him head on."

Feng Ningyan sneered and said, "Then let him know what a disparity in military strength is!"

She jumped off her horse, turned, and walked back to the makeshift platform. She pulled out the two banners on the platform and held them up high.

That was the signal for the battle formation to activate.

But for some reason, even though they had given the order, the four formations didn't react at all.

Duan Liushao, Sang Huanyu, and Jiang Chongming looked at each other. Feng Ning Yan had come prepared. How could she possibly cause such a ruckus?

Right at this moment, the front lines of the southern territory had already split into two, charging towards the shield armored soldiers at the front of the Southern Ning Army's middle line.

The neat rows of soldiers were immediately scattered. They no longer had any defensive capabilities and were scattered into the back of the formation.

Duan Liushao was overjoyed. He never thought that the defense of the front row of the Southern Ning Army would be so weak.

Even the four battle formations at the back suddenly became restless. The square formation was like an ant nest that had been washed away by a large amount of water. They dispersed in all directions and were utterly defeated.

Sang Huaiyu was astonished. Looking at the calm and composed Feng Ning Yan standing on the platform behind the Southern Ning Army, he suddenly felt that the Southern Ning Army's chaos was very amiss.

But the war had already begun, how could they retreat just because of guesses?

If they were to give it all in one go, they would be defeated and exhausted. They would have to call for a war to end before the war had even begun, and they would not be able to fight in the following battles.

After being humiliated by Feng Ning Yan, Li Yuanxiong was now holding back his shame. Seeing the Southern Ning Army in a state of chaos, he shouted excitedly, "Kill!"

He took the lead, brandished his spear, and charged into the enemy's army.

Seeing that even the vice marshal was so brave and fearless, the warriors of the southern border were filled with killing intent as they followed closely behind. The cavalrymen were like sharp blades, slicing into the Southern Ning Army from several different angles.

Li Yao, who was standing next to Feng Ningyan, watched the formation change. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for the soldiers who had only demonstrated the spell formation a dozen times.

He didn't know where the young marshal had learned this strange array, but if he were to fall into chaos and be unable to recover, wouldn't he be doomed?

Feng Ningyan felt Li Yao's nervousness and lightly patted him on the shoulder. "Vice General Li, relax. Look, does our military formation look like a swamp?"

Liao Yao followed Feng Ningyan's gaze and saw that the four formations had already gathered together in the chaos. They were completely black, like a black swamp that could eat nothing.

Although the enemy troops were brave, they were surrounded and surrounded by the running east and west of the Ning Nan Army's swamp, separated in an instant.

Li Yao's heart surged with excitement. He clenched his fists and exclaimed, "It worked!"

Li Yuanxiong and his men successfully charged into the enemy's formation. They looked down at the confused Southern Ning Army soldiers, as if they were looking at a group of ants that could be easily crushed to death. They excitedly attacked from left to right.

But after only attacking a few times, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, and Bladelight immediately numbed his hands.

It turned out that the shield and armored soldier that had disappeared into the formation just now had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and raised its shield high up, blocking his hacking.

The other forward battalions' officers and soldiers who were in the formation also encountered this situation. They were completely surrounded by the shield and armored soldiers.

The silver shield reflected the light of the sun, causing the Southern Wilderness soldiers to be unable to open their eyes.

Feng Ning Yan raised her banner, and after a few exchanges, the Southern Ning soldiers suddenly shouted in unison, "Change the formation!"

In a split-second, the battle formations that separated the enemy from the battle suddenly became narrow and long, like the tail of a phoenix, coiling around the enemy's body and shrinking towards the center.

The weapons in the hands of the Southern Ning Army soldiers were finally showing their edge!

Li Yuanxiong panicked.

Duan Liushao and Sang Huanyu, who were standing on top of the city gate tower, also panicked.
