Zi Ying divided the Heavenly Eagle Army into two waves, one with thirty thousand people, the first wave was led by him, he set off to block the exit of the Three Sacred Mountain, then had his deputy general Liu Zhu lead the other thirty thousand soldiers, and then he left the city to block the entrance of the Three Sacred Mountain. The two groups of people, one in front and one behind, released their Jian City.

The thirty thousand Heavenly Eagle Army that Zi Ying commanded walked in front, after exiting the Jian City, only twenty odd kilometers passed by the small forest where Zhan Wushuang, Zhong Tian and the rest were hiding. Before they had even arrived, Ning Jun's spies had already discovered their traces and immediately reported the news to Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi, the two brothers.

When they heard that the people from the Tianyuan Army had left their Jian City and chased after them, Zhan Wushuang and the others were all shocked. They did not expect that Tang Yin was actually so overbearing to the point where he needed to be chased even at night. Zhan Wudi was so angry that his eyebrows twitched. He roared repeatedly, and said to Zhan Wushuang: "Big brother, we can't escape anyways. Let's go all out against the enemy!"

"This …" Zhan Wushuang frowned as he shook his head slowly. With only this many soldiers left, how could he compete with Tianyuan Army which had a strong morale? Most likely, their side would be completely annihilated in the first round of battle. After thinking for a moment, he asked the spy, "Do you see how many people have arrived?"

"It should be around thirty thousand." The scout answered carefully.

"Around thirty thousand?" Zhan Wudi scratched his head in confusion and said, "That's not right! The enemy army that Zi Ying was commanding still had at least 60,000 to 70,000 people. Adding Tang Yin who had rushed over to support them, even if the enemy did not have 100,000 troops, it would still be enough. Are you sure? "

The spy shivered. How could he be wrong when it came to military matters? He immediately answered, "General Unrivaled, your subordinate has already checked again and again. The opponent is indeed only around thirty thousand. There is no mistake."

Zhan Wudi took a deep breath and turned to look at his brother Zhan Wushuang. At this time, Zhong Tian and the rest had also come over, and everyone's eyes were focused on Zhan Wushuang alone, waiting for him to make the decision. After all, if the opponent was in the light while their side was in the dark, they would be caught off guard and catch them unawares. Even though their numbers were quite a bit lower, there was still a chance for victory.

Zhan Wushuang's eyes kept turning his head, his brain was also thinking, thinking about what kind of tactic the enemy was using.

He did not speak for a full two to three minutes, and seemed to have faced the people around him for centuries. Just when everyone was scratching their ears and cheeks in anxiety and waiting impatiently, Zhan Wushuang finally opened his mouth and said: "I think it is very likely that the enemy has split their troops into two. Since our troop is hidden in the forest, it seems like the spies of Tianyuan Army have not been able to find out our exact whereabouts, and we are also afraid that our enemies will ambush us if we rashly chase after them, so we set thirty thousand people as the vanguard. If nothing unexpected happens, then there will be another enemy at the rear of the three thousand enemy troops, which is the main force. "

After listening to Zhan Wushuang's analysis, everyone nodded their heads, they felt that what he said was reasonable, even Zhong Tian who did not understand military strategy could not help but admire Zhan Wushuang's meticulous thinking.

He asked: "General Wushuang, then in your opinion, we should …"

"If you want to fight, we'll fight the enemy's main force. If we can succeed in this battle, then it will make the enemies who are chasing after us panic. Our army can also take this opportunity to head south and smoothly retreat into the Mo Country. " Zhan Wushuang enunciated each and every word clearly, his voice resounding with power.

"Big brother, you make the decision! I'll listen to you! " Without waiting for the others to respond, Zhan Wudi spoke first.

Zhan Wushuang nodded, looked at everyone and asked: "What do you guys think?"

"Oh …" Zhong Tian and the others looked at each other. Although they felt that the main force of the sneak attack on the Tianyuan Army was extremely risky, they had no choice but to fight it out now. Otherwise, if they allowed the Tianyuan Army to rush to the front of their side, they wouldn't be able to escape towards the south anymore.

"General Wushuang, please decide!"

"Alright!"

Very quickly, the Ning Soldier s who had not rested for more than two hours all climbed up from the ground and hid within the forest, preparing for battle. Fortunately, they didn't start a fire in advance, so they quickly prepared for battle.

They had just finished preparing, and the thirty thousand Heavenly Eagle Army soldiers under Zi Ying's command had also arrived.

Zi Ying did not pay much attention to the grove that was located beside the official road. In his opinion, Ning Jun Wu Yi had no way of hiding in such a small place, if he was discovered, he would be surrounded and unable to escape. Only a place like the Three Saint Mountain was suitable for Ning Jun Wu Yi to hide.

When Zi Ying passed by the small woods, he did not stop for a moment and directly went through them. As for the Ning Army who was hidden in the forest, they did not launch a sneak attack as well, as one of them was in the light while the other was in the dark.

When the Heavenly Eagle Army passed by the official road in front of the forest, Zhan Wushuang heaved a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, the enemy troops were not aware of their own side's movements, as expected of his own side. After a long while, Zhan Wushuang sent out several scouts, to find out if there were any more enemies coming from the back.

Just as expected, the spies that were sent out returned very quickly, bringing back news similar to what Zhan Wushuang had predicted. There was indeed another wave of Tianyuan Army approaching from the back, and the number of people was about the same as the Tianyuan Army that had just passed, also around thirty thousand.

After hearing the spy's report, Zhan Wudi said in shock, "Another thirty thousand people? Big Brother, what's going on?"

Zhan Wushuang also felt that it was strange. Thirty thousand people did not say much, but it was definitely not a small amount. He did not answer Zhan Wudi, but asked the scout, "Are there any other enemy troops behind this group of enemies?"

"No more!" The scout firmly shook his head and said, "Jian City can only send out these two armies, and no other enemy troops have appeared."

"Yes!" Zhan Wushuang replied, nodding, and said faintly: "Very good." After thinking for a moment, he pulled himself together and said to his left and right subordinates, "Everyone, prepare for battle. This time, we must defeat this enemy army no matter what."

"Yes sir!" All the generals received their orders and released their spirit armor, as well as the weapons in their hands. The soldiers took off their bows and arrows, aiming at the public road outside the forest.

On the other side, Commander Liu Zhu's thirty thousand Heavenly Eagle Army soon arrived at the forest side. As Zi Ying's group of people had passed away safely, he was not guarded against it at all as he led thirty thousand soldiers and strutted past the forest.

However, right at this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the forest, and before the Heavenly Eagle Army warriors could react, they heard a sharp whistling sound coming from their eardrums.

Pu, Pu, Pu!

In an instant, a large group of soldiers close to the forest on the side of the Heavenly Eagle Army fell to the ground, without knowing what happened, they were struck directly by the dense array of arrows shot out from the forest. Some of the people were shot by arrows and fell to the ground, while others were killed on the spot.

The continuous stream of Arrow Rain s shooting Heavenly Eagle Army caught all the soldiers off guard, and they died a violent death. At this moment, Liu Zhu suddenly realized that the situation wasn't good. Their side had been ambushed by the enemy! The first thing he did was to not command his entire army to meet the enemy, but to call for the Sky Eye and Earth Web's scouts, telling them to immediately send a message to Zi Ying and the city's Tang Yin, requesting for their help immediately.

His move seemed to be useless and useless, but it was undoubtedly the correct move. Although there weren't many enemies, with his abilities and thirty thousand troops, it was still impossible for him to stop Ning Xuemo's army.

After giving these instructions, he turned his horse and ran back, commanding the entire army to line up a shield to block the enemy's arrows.

At his command, the Heavenly Eagle Army managed to stop the chaos, and people set up shields against the rain of arrows. However, at this time, the number of soldiers who had died in the battle had increased to thousands.

However, the trees in the dense forest became the best cover for the Ning Army. The arrows shot back from Heavenly Eagle Army did not harm any of the Ning soldiers, and most of the arrows shot back onto the trees instead, providing weapons for the Ning Army who did not have enough arrows. As a result, many of the Ning soldiers, after finishing their arrows, pulled out their arrows from the trees and shot them back to Heavenly Eagle Army.

Even though they had erected shields, from time to time, there would still be arrows shooting through the gaps between the shields and onto the bodies of the soldiers below. Even if Liu Zhu had rushed back to command them, he could not sit still on his horse, and the Arrow Rain soldiers who were rushing over rushed down on their horses and hid under the shields supported by the Generals And Soldiers of Self Army.

Gradually, the entire Heavenly Eagle Army camp was pushed back by Ning Jun Arrow Array's mother, and was about to retreat to the other side of the official road.

Right at that moment, a loud shout came from the forest, followed by a group of people rushing out. The few people in front were all General of Ning Country s who were riding war horses, followed by a large group of Ning Soldier s. The one in the lead was covered in spirit armour, and he held a purple Spiritual Knife in his hands.

Zhan Wudi took the lead and rushed to the front, while shouting out loud, his roar was like thunder, shaking one's eardrums, his imposing manner was extremely terrifying. The Heavenly Eagle Army Warriors all instinctively shot arrows at the group of riders, causing Zhan Wudi to bear the brunt of the arrows. The blades in his hands were impenetrable, causing the arrows to break into two pieces.

Because the distance was too close, before the Heavenly Eagle Army could launch its second round of arrows, Zhan Wudi had already rushed forward with the Purple Dark Light Sabre in his hands and thrusted forward, directly striking the shield in the hands of one of the soldiers. The iron shield was unable to stop the tip of the Spiritual Knife, and with a cracking sound, the Purple Dark Light Sabre directly pierced through the shield.

Ah!

The soldier cried out in pain as Zhan Wudi used both of his arms to push the soldier on the blade out of the way. With a dull thud, the corpse of the soldier flew out horizontally, causing several Feng Army s to fall to the ground and roll into a ball.
