The next morning, after Tianyuan Army had finished their breakfast, they began to pack up the camp and headed towards Zhong Wen's camp, which was at the border between Guannan County.
The four hundred thousand strong army was mighty as they marched south. That night, they arrived at Zhong Wen's camp. When they arrived, they did not even set up camp, instead, they surrounded Zhong Wen's camp all the way up to the third floor and the third floor. After that, the Tianyuan Army side sent out some generals to fend off the enemy and had Zhong Wen come out to meet them head on.
The main force of the Tianyuan Army came menacingly, so it was not surprising for Zhong Wen to attack. He sent thirty thousand warriors out to fight, and after sending out the Barracks Gate, he formed a formation, and then, a horse came out of the crowd. Sitting on the horse was a martial general with a spear, welcoming the battle between the Tianyuan Army generals, both sides had their own names and names, battling at the same place.
The battle between the two fighters was brilliant. They fought back and forth, swords and daggers, and the soldiers behind them did not stay idle either. They drummed their drums, drummed their drums loudly, and shouted for help incessantly. The second general had fought for more than ten rounds, and the general of Tianyuan Army was gradually losing, unable to hope for victory. He galloped his horse back to his side, but the general refused to give up, and galloped after him.
Then, someone from the Tianyuan Army camp shouted. Like an arrow, he rushed out from his horse and immediately summoned a white spirit armor from his body. With a white, three-pointed, two-edged blade in his hand and the white horse he rode on, he moved like a white gust of wind.
This person's appearance shocked the enemy general. He had a very deep impression of this person, and it was Shangguan Yuan who had ambushed their base camp early in the morning. The general quickly reined his horse, and before he could even fight, he had already run away. Shangguan Yuan didn't want to let him go and kept chasing after him.
At this time, the morale of Tianyuan Army had risen as well. Waves after waves of shouts and roars rang out.
As for that military general, he ran very fast. Just as he was about to retreat to his troop's formation, he quickly hung his gun on the saddle bridge, grabbed a hard bow from the side of the horse, and pulled out an arrow made of pure steel. As he nocked the arrow, the arrow had already been spiritualized.
This sneak attack had come too suddenly, and the distance between the two was extremely close, so Shangguan Yuan had no time to react at all, his forehead had already been shot by the Spirit Arrow flying towards him.
The sudden turn of events caused both sides on the battlefield to be in an uproar, especially the Tianyuan Army, they were both shocked and terrified.
There was a crisp sound, and the Spirit Arrow was shot solidly. Under the force of the impact, Shangguan Yuan fell backwards, almost lying on the horse.
Seeing the arrow hit, the officer couldn't help but laugh out loud, he immediately reined his horse, turned around and ran back, at the same time putting down his bow and arrows, he picked up his silver spear again and shouted excitedly: "Shangguan Yuan give way, even if you have the courage of ten thousand men, you will die in my hands today … …"
Before he could finish his words, Shangguan Yuan who was about to lie down on the horse slowly stood up again and said in an unhurried tone, "It's too early for you to say that, isn't it?"
Now that he looked at Shangguan Yuan, there was not even a single scratch on the armor where the arrow had hit. The Spirit Arrow that had shot towards him had been shattered into pieces by his spirit armor and scattered on the ground.
"Huh?" When he saw this sight, the martial general turned pale with fright. With his Spirit Transformation realm cultivation, he actually wasn't able to injure Shangguan Yuan even a hair's breadth of his body with a single arrow. Then what was the degree of toughness of his spirit armor? How high must one's cultivation be? Shocked, he screamed and was about to push his horse back.
Shangguan Yuan chuckled and said, "Since you're back, you better stay here!" While he was speaking, the three pointed and two blade in his hand chopped down at Hua Shan. The sabre arrived first, the Spirit Wave arrived first. The martial general used all the spirit energy in his body and swept out a Spirit Wave, hoping to melt the enemy's attack.
But with his mere Spirit Transformation realm cultivation level, how could he withstand Shangguan Yuan's heavy strike? With a "pu" sound, the Spirit Wave he released was chopped into two and dissipated, leaving no trace behind. On the other hand, Shangguan Yuan did not even let the Spirit Wave slow down in the slightest as he directly slashed towards the general's head.
"Pu!" Ka-cha! *
With two crisp sounds, the general didn't even have the time to scream. Both his body and horse were split into two halves. The two halves of his body fell to the left and right. The blood that spurted out from his body formed a bloody mist in the air.
Hua — — The battlefield erupted once again. This time, the Central Army under Zhong Wen's command all turned pale with fright, as if they had seen a ghost. Their eyes were fixated on Shangguan Yuanyu, but they couldn't help but retreat continuously.
Shangguan Yuan asked the horse to take a step forward. The Central Army in front of him retreated three steps, and a part of the formation caved in.
Shangguan Yuan did not have the intention to return to the array, he galloped his horse back and forth in front of the Central Army array, waved his sabre, pointed at the thirty thousand Central Army, and shouted: "Who else dares to come out and fight with me?"
The large square formation, thirty thousand soldiers, and more than ten generals were completely silent. No one dared to speak a single word.
"Who dares to fight me again?" Shangguan Yuan asked three times, while the Central Army array retreated three meters back.
"Haha …" Shangguan Yuan laughed out loud, pointing the sabre tip at the enemy and said proudly: "You rats, help the evil. If you surrender now, I'll spare your lives. If you don't surrender now, our four hundred thousand strong army will kill all of you!"
The Central Army was so afraid of Shangguan Yuan that they didn't even dare to fight back against him. All they did was retreat, they didn't even have the courage to talk to him.
Seeing that the momentum of the thirty thousand strong enemy troops was only suppressed by Shangguan Yuan alone, Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi and Peng Haochu could all see the opportunity and immediately spoke out to Tang Yin, now was the perfect time for the entire army to attack. Hearing that, Tang Yin did not delay any further, he waved his arm, and shouted: "Assault!"
The military order was like a landslide.
Tang Yin gave the order, four hundred thousand Tianyuan Army started to move at the same time. Looking from afar, ten neat and tidy square formations started to press down on Zhong Wen's camp, once they entered the range, ten thousand arrows would be released, the arrows of several hundred thousand troops would be said to cover the sky and cover the moon. Arrows would soar into the sky, like a group of black clouds floating.
Even with the shield protecting them, thirty thousand Central Army s were still unable to block such sharp arrows. In that moment of chaos, the thirty thousand people were no longer in the mood to fight, and one after another, they ran towards their own camp. At the same time, Zhong Wen also ordered his troops to retreat, and retreat to guard the camp.
The Central Army s that were fleeing in panic were holding onto their shields, but from time to time, there were people who had their legs pierced by arrows, and rolled on the ground like rubber balls. Before they could even struggle to get up or pick up their shields, their bodies were pierced by the Eagle Feather Arrow s that came afterwards.
Thirty thousand people fled back to the camp, the distance wasn't long, and the time it took was also short, but in that short period of time, the number of people dying in the formation of arrows exceeded two thousand, showing the power of the formation.
When all of them retreated, Zhong Wen's Barracks Gate closed immediately. Thousands upon thousands of Central Army climbed up the wall of the encampment and the watchtower, shooting arrows back at them. The face-to-face confrontation between the two sides had also turned into a bitter and bitter one.
Moreover, they had been strengthening and defending the camp for many days. Right now, the defense of the camp was no different from that of a military fortress, and they also had to rely on the mountain for support. This way, they could save a bit of defensive pressure and focus their troops.
Under Zhong Tian's instructions, a portion of the Central Army gathered below the wall of the stronghold to fend off the enemy's charge while at the same time transporting arrows and Rolling Lumber And Stone s to the comrades who were fighting above. The other portion of the Central Army held a long halberd, and pierced through the small holes in the wall to stop the enemy from climbing up, while the other portion of the Central Army stood on the wall of the stronghold, unceasingly shooting arrows and throwing Rolling Lumber And Stone s.
The strong attacks of the Tianyuan Army of four hundred thousand people could be said to be sharp, but under the constant protection of the Central Army, they were unable to penetrate through. On the contrary, the soldiers in front of them could only fall down in groups, because the Central Army's defense was just too strong.
It was just as he had thought before. Zhong Wen was not an average person, and the defense of the entire camp was simply too strong, if they were to keep attacking from the back, it would only increase the number of casualties. It looks like they still had to follow their original plans, and take the risk with their troops!
After thinking about it, he gave the order for the entire army to retreat, no longer attacking head on.
Receiving Tang Yin's orders, Tianyuan Army retreated, but left behind corpses on the ground outside the camp.
This battle did not last long, but their Tianyuan Army losses were not small, as thousands of soldiers lost their lives in battle. After the battle, Tianyuan Army no longer forcefully attacked the enemy camp, and Central Army who had taken a lesson did not dare to rashly head out to meet the enemy again, so the two sides started to confront each other in a relatively calm state.
Seeing that, Zhong Wen was not nervous at all. If the other party did not come to attack, he would be more at ease, if he were to drag it out, it would only benefit him, after all, the four hundred thousand soldiers of the Ning army had already entered the Jinguang County and were on their way. When the Ning Country army arrived, he would be able to launch an internal attack against the other party and the four hundred thousand Tianyuan Army would immediately be annihilated.
His calculations were very good, but Zhong Wen was not an immortal. What he never thought of was that the commander of the Tianyuan Army, Tang Yin, and the person he feared the most, Shangguan Yuan, would allow the Directly Subordinate Army of fifty thousand Tianyuan County to go towards the Jinhua City quietly, stopping the army.
