Hearing Tang Yin's question, no matter how slow Jiang Fan's reaction was, he understood Tang Yin's intention. Jiang Fan took a deep breath and said seriously: "In the army, General Zi Ying and the soldiers are like brothers, but their personal relationship is as calm as water."

Tang Yin replied and blinked his eyes. He remained calm and collected as he said, "I got it, General Jiang Fan is going to accompany Xiao Ying to battle. I need to go back and prepare as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Great King, this lowly general will take his leave! " Jiang Fan stood up, bowed deeply towards Tang Yin, and left.

was relieved when he heard that Zi Ying's personal relationship with his subordinate Generals was as calm as water. Zi Ying was after all a general who had surrendered, and even now, he still did not trust Tang Yin completely. Furthermore, Zi Ying had fought too beautifully in the battle of Qingyuan, so Tang Yin was worried that such an outstanding Zi Ying would one day turn over a knife to his enemy. It was as if he had a personal relationship with a soldier, which meant that Zi Ying did not have any intentions of forming a alliance, which meant that Tang Yin was relieved.

That day, Wu Ying and Jiang Fan found a few people that were familiar with the terrain of the Armadillo Swamp and led the thirty thousand elite soldiers to head towards the Armadillo Swamp. In order to ease the connection with the Pingyuan Army, Ai Jia accompanied the rest of the troops there.

The area that the Armadillo Swamp occupied was very large, occupying a large piece of land in the southern part of the Hedong. Because of the existence of the Armadillo Swamp, it was extremely inconvenient for the Hedong and the communications of the Jiuyou County in the south. The official road could only be split into two, and avoid the marsh areas by taking a big detour. The terrain of the Armadillo Swamp was around a swamp, and the forest was at the center. If one wanted to set up an ambush at the Armadillo Swamp, they could only hide in the forest at the center of the zone.

Wu Ying and Jiang Fan set off from the Qingyuan, and the Ning Army arrived at the Armadillo Swamp first. They were stationed in the forest, and then sent a spy to deliver a letter to the Pingyuan Army. Since Wu Ying and Jiang Fan were using their own forces inside the Armadillo Swamp to assist them, Xiao Muqing and Wu Guang had nothing to worry about.

Ning Bing's commander was still the timid and timid Ning Middle General Wu Huan. According to his original intention, since the Feng Army had already broken through the city and had been lost, they should retreat, because the Provincial Capital to the west had already been occupied by the Feng Army.

However, Wu Huan's subordinates all advised him to retreat, saying that if he retreated before the battle even started, he would definitely be severely punished. It would be better to take advantage of Feng Army's unfamiliarity with the terrain to lure the Feng Army to the Armadillo Swamp, and like this, their side would have the hope of turning the tide and even the possibility of regaining the ground they had lost.

After being advised by his subordinates, Wu Huan also felt that it made sense. She immediately accepted the opinions of her subordinates and led her troops to retreat towards the Armadillo Swamp.

Ning Jun, Wu Ying and Jiang Fan thought at the same time, they wanted to hide inside the forest, and when the Feng Army came chasing after them, they would fall into a quagmire outside the forest. They wanted to take the chance to shoot arrows, and since they couldn't enter the forest with their Feng Army, they couldn't retreat fast enough, so they would definitely be defeated, and if they went back and killed them, they would definitely be able to destroy the entire Feng Army.

This time, he had completely knocked Ning Jun unconscious. Never in his wildest dreams had Ning Jun thought that there would be enemies hidden within the Armadillo Swamp. He was unable to defend against them in time and was killed and shot by the Feng Army's array of arrows.

At this time, if they were to retreat, even if they were able to exit, there would probably not be more than a few people left. At that time, when the Feng Army from the rear came chasing after them, their entire army would be annihilated, and at that critical moment, Wu Huan finally displayed the ability and boldness that a Middle General should have.

He immediately gave the order, the entire army of Generals And Soldiers could only move forward, they could not retreat, and even if they had to fill up the Feng Army's arrow formation, they had to charge forward, killing their way into the forest, then having a showdown with the enemy. Wu Huan, who had always been timid, finally managed to fight back. The soldiers below also risked their lives, rushing into the forest while facing the Feng Army's arrow formation.

Ning Jun's army had already begun to fight for their lives, but Wu Ying and Jiang Fan, who had won, did not want to fight to the death against each other. The two of them gave the order, and the entire army released their arrows as they retreated, leaving the forest area to Ning Yan. Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army was already familiar with the characteristics of swamps. When they retreated, he very experienced took off her shoes and socks, and quickly retreated barefooted.

In the end, Ning Jun'er had used the price of sacrificing over ten thousand soldiers to successfully force back the Feng Army and occupy the forest. Originally, people could have let out a long breath of relief, but it was not long before a new crisis arrived again.

After the arrival of the Pingyuan Army, Wu Ying and Jiang Fan immediately formed a formation around the forest, encircling the entire forest, but since they were surrounding the Feng Army, they did not attack, nor did they attack.

It was very difficult for the Feng Army to drink, and it was even worse for the trapped Ning Army. The forest was not as good as the outside, because there was not even a source of sewage here, and as for food, it was even more pitiful. While the Feng Army was stationed here, they had already swept away all the fungi and plants in the forest, and what was left for Ning Army was just a bunch of bare trees. If there were still living things, then it would be the armadillos that were scurrying about everywhere, and the mosquitos that were everywhere.

Only then did Wu Huan realize that this place was a dead end indeed! But at this moment, he finally realized that it was already too late. Those department generals who had given him this idea were also dumbfounded. All of their faces were ashen, and they were all silent.

On the other hand, Feng Army had already made up their minds. They would surround them and not attack them, just waiting for the Ning Army to take the initiative and break out of their encirclement.

That night, Ning Jun became impatient and started to counterattack against the encirclement of Feng Army. This night, the Ning Army had launched three consecutive breakthroughs, but in the end, they were all shot and beaten back by the Feng Army. Not only did they not run away, they even lost a lot of men, and lost a lot of men.

After suffering from the loss, Ning Jun became completely obedient, and no longer organized an attempt to break out of the encirclement. He stayed in the forest, guarding and not attacking as he confronted Feng Army.

A short confrontation with Ning Jun was not a problem, but after a long time, Ning Jun couldn't take it anymore. One could live for a day or two without eating, but it was impossible for one or two days without drinking water.

On the contrary, when looking outside the forest, the Feng Army Camp was filled with smoke. Not only was there water to drink, but there was also dry wood to start a fire, boiling the water and drinking it. What was even worse was that the Feng Army had a logistics supply, so food and meat could be continuously transported over. Every time it was time to eat, Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army would be able to eat the fragrant meat, the smell of the meat floated into the forest, causing Ning Soldier to drool and her eyes to emit blue light.

Xiao Muqing naturally wouldn't waste the opportunity to attack the enemy's morale and mentality. When it was time to eat, he would send out some veterans to bring meat soup to their own camp, drinking it while shouting out to the forest, reporting the results of today's meal, and then persuade the Ning Army to surrender.

Wu Huan was timid, he could escape without fighting, but he did not dare to surrender to Feng Army. After all, his home was in Liangzhou, and his family members were in Liangzhou as well. He gave his men a death order. No matter who it was, if they surrendered to the enemy, they would be killed without pardon.

There were some Ning Jun who couldn't endure the hunger and wanted to surrender to Feng Army. However, as soon as they left the forest, they were shot and killed by their fellow disciples.

In these three days, the Feng Army had not launched an attack together. But in the forest, Ning Jun was miserable to the extreme, as 70,000-80,000 Generals And Soldiers of Ning Army s were both hungry and drunk, eating up all the leaves and tree bark in the forest. There were even many people who had already started to eat the mud on the ground, so much so that there was still some water left in the mud.

Plague and disease spread throughout the Ning Army. A large number of soldiers fell ill, and many of the soldiers who were injured in the battle were unable to be treated. Their wounds were festering and rotting, and people could only pick out maggots from the ground and place them on the wounds, using them to eat the flesh around the wounds …

Right now, even if Ning Jun Wu Yi didn't come to fight, he wouldn't be able to last more than two days. Under such circumstances, Wu Huan could only fight with all her might and personally lead the group to break out. He ordered the main forces to break out from the north to attract the attention of Feng Army while he himself led a small number of trusted aides and elites to break out from the south.

However, how could Ning Jun, whose combat prowess had long been greatly reduced, break through the hundred thousand strong and lively Feng Army? In this battle, the main forces of Ning Jun Army who broke through from the north were pushed back by the Feng Army. Wu Huan and his trusted aides who broke through from the south did not escape, they all died under the arrows of the Feng Army.

The generals were already dead, and the soldiers below were no longer willing to resist and wait for their deaths, all of them having surrendered to the Feng Army.

At this time, the problem lay with the Feng Army, how to deal with the tens of thousands of soldiers who were being taken down.

As the plague had already spread in the Ning Army, they did not dare approach the Feng Army at all. If they were allowed to return to the Ning Country, Xiao Muqing would not be satisfied.

Xiao Muqing first suggested to shoot them on the spot without leaving a single one of them alive. Hearing his words, Wu Ying took a deep breath, and said: "General Zi Ying said that you have to kill the commanders of the Ning Army, it is best to release all the soldiers below, if that happens, the Ning Army will lose their will to fight against us!"

After hearing this, Xiao Muqing scoffed, and muttered under his breath, "The merciful one!" After pausing for a moment, he said seriously, "What we need to do is to let Ning Jun know that all of my soldiers are Mighty Army, demons who would kill without blinking an eye. We need to make Ning Army afraid of us, and then, when the time comes, their morale will be lower. The two armies were victorious in battle! If he was afraid, how could he win? That is to say, for the captives of the Ning Army, they must be completely exterminated, and all future troubles must be eliminated! "
