Zhan Wudi swept out his Spirit Wave, smashing the Spirit Wave that Shangguan Yuan let go into pieces. Just as he was about to continue fighting, Zhan Wushuang had already grabbed his arm, and said anxiously: "Invincible, stop fighting, quickly retreat!" While he was speaking, he pulled Zhan Wudi and ran towards the few warhorses that were stopped not far away.

The enemy army's main generals had to run, so how could Shadow Clone and Shangguan Yuan let the two leave. They chased closely after them, but were unable to, the Shadow Clone immediately activated its Shadow Shift and rushed towards the two of them from behind. Without waiting for Zhan Wushuang to make a move to parry, Zhan Wudi had already taken the initiative and brandished his blade, cutting off Tang Yin's blade respectively, and even seizing the opportunity to stab Tang Yin in the forehead.

The Shadow Clone was not anxious, it tilted its head slightly, and dodged the blade edge, following that, it raised the two blades up, aiming for Zhan Wudi's ribs, the latter's anger was immediately stung by the opponent's pestering, and was just about to turn back and fight, Zhan Wushuang grabbed his arm and pulled hard, angrily saying: "Don't try to keep fighting, quickly follow me!"

Zhan Wudi still had the heart to fight him head on, but he was unable to change direction. Dragging along with him, he ran to the front of the horse, then followed Zhan Wushuang and got on his horse. He took the lead and ran to the back of the battlefield. Without delay, Shangguan Yuan continued his pursuit. The Shadow Clone did not lag behind, as he quickly mounted an empty horse and galloped away.

Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi both retreated, the first people who reacted were Zhan Wushuang's Personal Guard. They gave up their battle with Hidden Arrow Crew and turned their horses, following along. "The general has already retreated. Brothers, quickly retreat!"

Their shouts quickly reached Main Force of Ning Army, who was struggling to hold on. When they heard that Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi, the two main generals, had retreated, the soldiers who could not hold on in their fighting spirit became even more unprepared to fight. At this moment, without the orders from the regiment leaders of the various divisions, the Ning army automatically changed into the front lines and retreated backwards.

But in a battle between hundreds of thousands of people, how could the disadvantaged side retreat just like that? Ning Jun retreated a few steps, as if handing over his back to the Tianyuan Army. How could the Tianyuan Army which had been fiercely battling for so long possibly still be polite?

The soldiers were in hot pursuit. In order to preserve their lives, the soldiers were naturally able to escape quickly, and the tightly pressed army in front of them was like a giant wall blocking their path. The soldiers were pushing against each other, clashing against the wall, causing people to fall to the ground from time to time, but as long as they fell down, they would never be able to get up.

Even if they did, they would not have the time to dodge and would only be able to force their way through. As for the soldiers who fell to the ground, they would be stomped into meat patties in the blink of an eye while the Ning Army trampled on each other. The defeat of hundreds of thousands of soldiers was like a flood that had broken out of a dam, flowing away for thousands of miles in a single go.

Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi, the two brothers, were running in front, and the ones chasing after them were Shadow Clone s and Shangguan Yuan. Behind the two of them were Zhan Wushuang's several thousand Personal Guard s, followed by's Hidden Arrow Crew s.

Tang Yin's clone and Shangguan Yuan gave chase, but they were already more than five kilometers away. At this time, the clone pulled the horse's reins and stopped the chase. At the same time, he called out to Shangguan Yuan to give chase, "Yuan, don't chase anymore!" Shadow Clone had a limit to it with Tang Yin's current cultivation, being able to chase it so far was already its limit. He was worried that Shangguan Yuan would send a person to deal with the Zhan Clan and Zhan Clan brothers, so he stopped him as well.

"Master, what's wrong?" Shangguan Yuan did not understand what was going on, he anxiously reined his horse and retreated back to his clone's side, saying anxiously: "If we continue to chase after them, we will definitely catch up to Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi, the two thugs. Master cannot just let them go like this!"

Tang Yin did not want to let the two go either, but due to the restrictions of the avatar, he could not continue to kill them. He sighed, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi have escaped, but the soldiers under them cannot escape, you and I will charge back and kill the enemy without leaving a single soldier alive!"

"This …" However,'s tone of voice was firm and did not allow anyone to reject it. Shangguan Yuan had no choice but to follow the Shadow Clone and turn his horse, charging towards the back.

The two of them suddenly rushed back, causing Zhan Wushuang and the rest who were running over from the back to be greatly shocked, but they had nowhere to dodge to, so they could only bite the bullet and charge towards the Shadow Clone and Shangguan Yuan. As soon as the two sides came into contact, Shangguan Yuan released Spirit Chaos, a top grade martial skill.

He was unable to catch up with Zhan Wudi and Zhan Wushuang, and wanted to vent all his anger on these Ning Jun. After the waves of Spirit Wave swept through, the battlefield was filled with broken limbs and corpses of horses. The fresh blood that spurted out gathered together like a huge red carpet, dyeing the ground within a radius of ten metres red. It was a tragic sight, and a nauseating stench wafted in the air.

With just one move, more than two hundred Ning soldiers were killed. Even though Ning Jun was overwhelmed with shock and a cold wind blew over his spine, he still gritted his teeth and continued charging forward. Right now, they had no other choice but to fight with their lives on the line. Otherwise, if they were caught up by the pursuers, they would still die.

The Shadow Clone and Shangguan Yuan were blocking the escape route of Ning Jun's army. They were like gods of death, hacking at people they met and killing them at all times. Miserable screams came from time to time from the two of them. After an unknown amount of time, the corpses under their feet almost formed a small hill. No one knew how much blood was stuck to their bodies. One layer after another, layer after layer of dried up blood sprayed out.

The battle lasted from dawn until dusk, and only at night did it finally come to an end.

As they were sweeping the battlefield, all they saw were corpses scattered everywhere on the ground. There were armor and weapons scattered everywhere, and due to the defeat of the Ning Army, they didn't even manage to return to the camp. If it were a big army camp, all of the stored rations, supplies and supplies would become the spoils of Tianyuan Army.

In terms of just weapons alone, the Tianyuan Army had gathered dozens of carriages, and there were also an innumerable amount of armor, provisions, and supplies. After an entire night of cleaning and cleaning, the casualties on both sides were roughly determined. The number of casualties in Tianyuan Army was around eighty thousand, and as for Ning Jun, the number of injured people was unknown. However, just from collecting the corpses on the battlefield, there were already nearly a hundred thousand people.

In fact, Ning Jun Wu Yi's actual loss was much larger than what the Tianyuan Army had calculated. When Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi stopped escaping, there were only a few thousand soldiers left by the two of them.

After that, the stragglers of the Ning Army continued to return, and only then did they gather together their manpower. However, in the end, only two hundred thousand soldiers returned, and a portion of them were wounded. As for the other two hundred thousand soldiers, they either perished in battle or fled without a trace, and were nowhere to be found.

In just this one battle, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi's four hundred thousand strong army had been injured by more than half, and their vitality was greatly damaged. At this time, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi were both struck dumb. Ever since the establishment of the Ning Country, there had never been a battle situation in which two hundred thousand people died.

As generals, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi naturally deserved to be blamed. Until now, Zhan Wushuang still didn't quite dare believe that his own army had actually been defeated in such a miserable manner.

Zhan Wushuang's failure, was not because he was incompetent, but because he had let his guard down.

He had underestimated the strength of Tianyuan Army and overestimated the strength of Ning Jun. Ning Jun's archery formation was impressive, but the soldiers were not very good at close combat. In addition, due to Ning Jun's unfavorable information, they were completely unaware of the 'Bessa Heavy Armored Cavalry' joining the Tianyuan Army, causing them to be unable to respond after the Heavy Armored Cavalry had suddenly entered the fray. The enemies that were killed were all in chaos, their morale was in turmoil.

In addition, Zhan Wushuang did not sense that the two wings on the battlefield were ambushing a light cavalry unit with one Tianyuan Army each, which was also the main reason that he failed. It could be said that in this competition, Tang Yin had used all of his family's assets, and Ning Jun had carried on with the victorious thought of using his Tianyuan Army to avoid battle, but in the end, he suffered greatly.

In addition, Zhan Wushuang also sent someone to send a report to the capital, explaining the details of the defeat on their side. He also invited King Ning to determine whether or not their army will stay in the country to guard the Yan City, in order to assist Zhong Tian, the puppet king, in defending against the Tianyuan Army.

The Tianyuan Army had completely annihilated Zhong Wen's bloodline, and had even won a large victory over the Ning Army. This was equivalent to giving Feng Country a shot at strengthening them, allowing them to see the hope of reviving their country. The voices of people opposing Zhong Tian and supporting the Tianyuan Army grew louder and louder, and more and more commoners came to seek refuge with the Tianyuan Army.

The more they fought, the more lacking of manpower they would have, and the Tianyuan Army just happened to be the opposite. The more they fought, the more they drew in the hearts of the people, and the more their military might increased. Not long after the battle of Jinhua City, the strength of the Tianyuan Army had rapidly expanded to five hundred thousand. Following the increase in the number of people, Tang Yin had no choice but to adjust the various divisions of the troops under his command.

With Xiao Muqing taking the lead, the original composition of the Pingyuan Army continued, and the strength of the ten legions did not change. Sanshui Army led by Liang Qi and Bai Yong were expanded to fifteen groups respectively. In addition, Tang Yin also transferred Peng Haochu from Directly Subordinate Army to Chifeng Army to be the Deputy Commander to assist Li Wei in taking charge of the army.

The Directly Subordinate Army of the closest army around Tang Yin dwindled to ten groups, and they continued to be commanded by Gu Yue, while the position of Deputy Commander was temporarily vacant.
