The defending troops of the Xibai City had basically retreated to the side of the County Magistrate Palace. At this time, the County Head Palace was packed with people, and the entire Inner Palace was filled with Peng Army soldiers. The scouts from the Peng Army sent information back to Geng Qiang as if they were passing lanterns.
The sounds of people reporting could be heard incessantly from the great hall of County Head Palace.
"Reporting — My Lord, our North of City has failed, and our Tianyuan Army has slaughtered our way into the city!"
"Reporting — Lord, the East of City has failed, and the Tianyuan Army has been seized!"
"Reporting — Lord, Tianyuan Army has taken over our army's grain depot!"
"Report —"
Listening to the report from the scout horse, Geng Qiang's heart was in a knot, and he rushed towards the scouts running in the hall and shouted: "Scram! All of you, get out! "
The scouts were scared and quickly retreated out of the hall.
Geng Qiang looked around at the generals that had retreated back, and asked: "Who has a good idea? Who has a good plan to defeat the enemy now? "
The generals looked at each other and lowered their heads in unison. Now that Tianyuan Army had completely invaded the city, their side was in no danger, how could they resist the enemy? Seeing that everyone was quiet for a long time, Geng Qiang's heart was in turmoil. After looking around, he did not see Yu Jun, so he asked: "Didn't I ask you to go find Yu Jun? Where's Yu Jun? "
The guards around Geng Qiang looked at each other, and one of them said in a low voice: "The person who went to invite Mr. Yu Jun has not come back yet, it is possible that... Maybe we met with Tianyuan Army halfway through the journey … "
"Trash!" They are all trash! " Geng Qiang pointed at the guards around him and cursed.
Just then, one of the officers took a step forward and said, "Sir, the enemy has entered the city. Our army might not be able to turn the tide, how about …" You might as well surrender! "
Rustle! Hearing the word surrender, Geng Qiang took out his sword and shouted: Whoever dares to talk about surrender again, I will kill without mercy! His mind was simple, but he was not stupid enough to recognize the circumstances. Right now, anyone could surrender, but only he could, because even if he surrendered to Tianyuan Army, Tianyuan Army would not let him off.
Seeing that Geng Qiang's eyebrows were raised and his eyes were bloodshot, the general that spoke to persuade him was so frightened that he retreated a few steps and hid amongst the generals, not daring to say a single word more.
Just at that moment, the horse scout came again. A soldier ran to the hall hurriedly and shouted: "Reporting to the Lord, it's bad! The enemy troops that came from the west of the city have arrived at the County Head Mansion … …"
Before he finished speaking, another horse scout came in from the outside and screamed: "Reporting — Master, North of City is approaching County Head Palace!"
Sigh! The speed of the Tianyuan Army was simply too fast, as though after entering the city, they had slaughtered their way to the County Head Palace without any obstructions, and with hundreds of thousands of enemies, their own side no longer had more than twenty thousand people, so how could they possibly defend against the insignificant County Head Palace?
If they continued fighting like this, they would undoubtedly die!
Seeing that all the generals were shaken, Geng Qiang steeled his heart, held his sword, and shouted loudly: "We have received great kindness from the king, today is the time to repay the king! All my Peng Army warriors, follow me and charge out of the encirclement. Even if I die in battle, I cannot extinguish the might of my Peng Army! "
The generals sighed in their hearts. If both sides were to die, then they would have to fight to the death. Everyone shouted, "Yes! "My Lord!"
Geng Qiang personally went up to the battlefield and commanded the generals and soldiers under his command to break out of the encirclement.
Right now, the County Head Palace was already surrounded by a sea of Tianyuan Army. Looking at the situation from the outside, the place was filled with a sea of people, it was pitch black and you could not even see the end of it. Just the banners in the Tianyuan Army Army were like dense forest, such a scene, did not even need to fight, the aura coming from the Peng Army side was completely suppressed.
Geng Qiang had already made up his mind to die in battle. Pointing his sword forward, he roared at the surrounding Peng Army warriors, "Kill — —"
"Kill — —" The people all followed Geng Qiang and shouted, but they were clearly not confident enough, and there were very few who took the initiative to charge forward to kill.
A General of Peng Country who was the first to approach Tianyuan Army camp, rushed out of the Tianyuan Army crowd without waiting for him to make a move. Holding onto a Crescent Knife, he spurred her horse forward and rushed towards General of Peng Country, raising her blade in a hack.
At this critical moment of life and death, the General of Peng Country did not hesitate as she raised the weapon in her hand and blocked the opponent's heavy sword.
Clank! Clank!
However, right at that moment, the other party's riders arrived in front of him once again. The Crescent Knife used the momentum of the war horses to attack, but was unable to dodge in time, and was struck by the sharp blade. With a 'pu' sound, the Crescent Knife pierced into the's chest, poking out from his back, causing him to feel a chill all over his body.
"Ah …" The General of Peng Country screamed and fell backwards. She immediately took the chance and pulled out his Crescent Knife, waving it in the air to shake off the blood on her blade, she shouted out: I am, who dares to come out again, and fight with me?
A lively and vigorous General of Peng Country was stabbed to death by Wu Guang without even taking a single move. The other General of Peng Country felt a chill behind their backs and didn't dare to move forward.
Since the other party was not coming forward, Wu Guang did not plan on letting them go. He waved the Crescent Knife in his hands forward and shouted: "Brothers, kill!"
When the Tianyuan Army s with high morale heard Wu Guang's shout, they all walked up, only to see a dense crowd of people rushing up like a tide, fighting against the Peng Army s.
Seeing that the enemies were not only large in numbers, but also incomparably ferocious, the strategists under Geng Qiang's command were so scared that their legs and stomach started to move, all of them exhorting: "Master, the enemies here are powerful, let's go in another direction and break out of the encirclement!"
Geng Qiang looked at the countless enemies in front of him, and then looked at Wu Guang who was riding a majestic horse, he sighed in his heart, nodded, and shouted: "Retreat!"
How did they get out, and how did they retreat … it's just that when they came out, they still had more than ten thousand Peng Army s under them, and when they went back, only a few thousand people had followed them.
Geng Qiang led the group and ran in the other direction. Just as they exited the side door of the residence, they heard a sneer coming from outside, and said: "Scoundrel, this road isn't clear!"
Upon hearing the voice, Geng Qiang and the rest were all shocked, they raised their heads and looked up. The people at the side of the door were all Tianyuan Army soldiers, and in the crowd, stood a thirty year old general. If their side could not defeat the general with Tianyuan Army, could it be that they could not defeat the general with Tianyuan Army?
Geng Qiang clenched his teeth and roared: "Kill! Everyone, let's kill our way out together! " He shouted happily, but stayed where he was, commanding his men to charge forward and kill.
That refined general shook his head and sneered, "You're courting death, don't blame others!" This person was none other than the main commander of the Pingyuan Army, Xiao Muqing. He did not know how to use the Spirit realm, but he had two strong Spirit realm warriors by his side, Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao.
Xiao Muqing looked left and right, then calmly pointed ahead, and said slowly: "Killing one enemy, bounty of one hundred coins, killing ten enemies, making a great contribution!" After accumulating ten great achievements, one would be able to enter the nobility. With a title, one would be able to own their own land, and not only would the annual taxes be halved, one would also be able to receive regular State subsidies, which would also greatly increase the chances of advancement.
Pingyuan Army was known for being ferocious and fierce, after hearing Xiao Muqing's words, the crowd became even more excited, only to hear the crowd shouting and shouting, and following that, the Generals And Soldiers of Pingyuan Army shouted in unison and charged towards the Peng Army s which only had a few thousand people left.
When they were facing Wu Guang just now, their Peng Army s were still able to hold on for a while, but now that they were facing the tiger-like Pingyuan Army s, their Peng Army s did not even have the ability to retaliate. As their Pingyuan Army s swarmed forward, thousands of them were instantly scattered and broken into pieces by the Tianyuan Army s, one by one.
Geng Qiang led the generals and rushed forward for a while. Not only did they not charge out of the encirclement, they were even forced to retreat slowly by the soldiers of the Pingyuan Army. Especially after the Shangguan brothers charged over, Geng Qiang and the others could no longer hold on and they crawled and rolled back to the County Head Mansion.
Just now, he still had a few thousand people under his command. Now, Geng Qiang looked around, only to see that he was accompanied by a few generals and those strategists that were useless in the battlefield.
This... What should he do? Could it be that he was really going to be trapped to death in his own residence by the Tianyuan Army?
Geng Qiang was so anxious that his head was covered with sweat. When he was unable to advance or retreat, he suddenly heard a loud laughter from behind him: "You must be Master Geng Qiang, right?"
Hearing the voice, Geng Qiang's body trembled, he anxiously turned his head, only to see a large group of Tianyuan Army charging from his back into the residence, led by a young man in his twenties. The man was covered in a Black Spirit Armor, his head was not covered, and was not wearing a helmet either.
"Who are you?" Geng Qiang sized up the young man and asked loudly.
"Tang Yin!" The young man replied casually.
Tang Yin? Upon hearing this name, the faces of Geng Qiang and the surrounding people all changed, as they subconsciously took two steps back. So this was the County Head of the Tianyuan County, the commander of the five hundred thousand Tianyuan Army, the biggest rival of the Peng Country.
The young man laughed as he looked at Geng Qiang, then at the rest of the people around him. The smile on his face deepened, and he said: "Geng Qiang, now that you have nowhere to go, if you are smart, you should let go of your weapon and surrender. Don't try to fight me again for nothing."
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Geng Qiang shouted angrily: "Bullshit! Tang Yin, even if I die in battle, I will never surrender to you rebels! "
The relationship between Tianyuan Army and theirs was very interesting. Neither of them was the direct descendant of Feng King Zhan Hua, so there was no conclusive evidence as to who was the regular army and who was the rebel.
Hearing Geng Qiang's reply, Tang Yin shook his head helplessly, reached out, and patted his head. Following the clapping sounds, a group of more than a hundred Feng Army walked out from behind Tang Yin, bringing out a group of men, women, and children. He turned his head and glanced, then said to Geng Qiang: "Geng Qiang, even if you don't care about your own life, don't tell me you don't even care about your own family?"
