He also wrote a secret letter, saying that Zhangsun Yuanhong was the only son of the family, and that Zhangsun Yuanhu was also the only son. Although the two of them were not brothers of the same blood, their relationship was even better, and Wei Zheng was told not to invite Zhangsun Yuanhong back to the capital anymore. Instead, he wanted Zhangsun Yuanhong's father, Zhangsun Donggong, and Zhangsun Yuanhu's father, to go and invite him.

Yan Chu was very smart, at this time he already understood why Wei Zheng had suggested taking Zhangsun Yuanhu out to battle, but he didn't bring up the matter. According to Wei Zheng's suggestion, he sent people over to find Zhangsun Zi Ce and Zhangsun Zhan, and told him about Zhangyuan's death on the battlefield with a face full of grief and indignation.

Hearing that his son had died in front of the two armies, the old man almost fainted on the spot. At the same time, the eldest grandson, Sun Ce, also kept wiping away his tears, stomping his feet and beating his chest, shaking his head in grief. Yan Chu said with an emotionless face: "Thief Feng is approaching in full fury, the army is charging as fiercely as the clouds, our army is having difficulty dealing with it! If General Yuanhong is still not willing to leave the mountain, who knows how many more of my sons will die under the Thief Feng's hands! "

Without needing Yan Chu to explain, Zhangsun Zhe said in a trembling voice, "My King, this humble subject will go to the west immediately. Even if I have to delay, I will drag my son back so that he can take revenge for her country!"

Hearing that, Yan Chu was so excited that he almost jumped up. With Senior Sun Ce present, this matter was easy to settle, no matter how stubborn Zhangsun Yuanhong was, he would listen to his father's words, no?! At this moment, Zhangsun Zhan continued, "Big Brother, this little brother will go with you. If nephew refuses to return to the capital, I'll smash my head in front of him!"

When they found out that Zhangsun Yuanhu had died in battle, Zhangsun Ce and Zhangsun Zhan, the two old brothers couldn't sit still any longer. They both went to the west side of Ning Country and steeled their hearts to bring Zhangsun Yuanhong back to the capital.

On the other side, Wei Zheng's five hundred thousand soldiers were still facing off against the Feng Army.

On the second day of Wu Guang's battle, Tang Yin raised the bill and gave the order for the entire army to attack.

He had ordered Pingyuan Army to be the vanguard and to take the lead. He had ordered Sanshui Army to be the left and right flank to support the two flanks. In addition, he had also ordered Ye Quan and Gao Yidao to each command 5,000 troops to ambush them five kilometers away from their own camp. If they were to see reinforcements from the Southern Sea and Jianxing, they could stop them from killing any enemy.

Tang Yin shot out his orders consecutively, then all of his Feng Army went to the battlefield, forming a good battle formation in the front lines of the Ning army's main camp.

With Wei Zheng in the lead, the Ning army all went to battle as well. However, looking at their military strength, they didn't seem to be a large group of 500,000, but rather, there were around 400,000 people. In order to intimidate the enemy, they would brag a bit more. A hundred thousand people being advertised as two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand being advertised as five hundred thousand, and six hundred thousand being proclaimed as a million. This was a common occurrence.

Relying on their numbers, the Ning Army set up a Crane Wing Formation in front of the main camp. The Crane Wing Formation focused on the two wings, paying particular attention to the two wings flapping in all directions as they closed in on the enemy.

Before the battle, Wei Zheng urged his horse to move out of the Ning Army Camp, and those who called out his surname called Tang Yin to come out and speak.

Hearing Wei Zheng call him to go out, Tang Yin who was in charge of the army sneered, and muttered: "If you want to fight, just fight, then fight. Where did all this nonsense come from?!" Although he said it like that, Tang Yin still rode on his horse and left. Brother Shangguan, Cheng Jin and the rest followed closely behind.

Arriving at the front of the two armies, Tang Yin looked across from them and saw a group of horses lined up in front of the Ning Army Camp. The one in the lead was an old man with white beard and hair, although he was old, but he was full of vigor.

Tang Yin secretly nodded his head, looks like this person was the famous general Wei Zheng of Ning Country! He raised his head, and said proudly: "Wei Zheng, what do you have to say to this king? Are you going to surrender to our army? "

While he was sizing up Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng was also sizing him up. Seeing Tang Yin's appearance, Wei Zheng sighed in his heart: What a young monarch! Just from the appearance, Tang Yin was absolutely handsome. He had eight eyebrows, starry eyes, a high nose bridge, red lips, white teeth, deep facial features, a sharp face, and a natural smile that gave his strong, handsome face a kind, unwounded confidence. "Even if he wasn't the ruler of a country and was just an ordinary person, anyone who saw him would be unable to resist giving him a few more glances.

Wei Zheng took a deep breath, he was not moved by Tang Yin's words, and said with a smile: "Feng King, this marshal has come to advise you to call it off. Your Feng Country is not as strong as mine, and your Feng Army is not as strong as mine. Your generals are not as powerful as mine, and you can use sneak attacks to gain some advantage in the short term, but once the war lasts, your Feng Country is not as strong as mine. Feng King, if you were a smart person, you should have withdrawn your troops and returned, otherwise, you and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under you might not be able to return. Not long ago, two hundred thousand Feng Army were completely wiped out in the Hedong! "

Hearing that, Tang Yin laughed out loud, and said proudly: "Why don't you calculate how much of your troops you have lost in Hedong? Right now, my soldiers are no longer the same as before, you guys are the ones who should retreat and obediently give up your Hedong Region, if not, no matter how strong your Ning Country is, it will all be used up, and no matter how many troops you have, it will all be killed.

"Wind, wind, wind —"

As soon as Tang Yin finished speaking, the Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army behind had already raised their arms and shouted, their shouts was earth-shattering and deafening. Tang Yin smiled, he raised his hand to stop the soldiers from shouting, and looked at Wei Zheng, and asked: "What do you think?"

Wei Zheng shook his head and said: "Good words are hard to say to a damned ghost. Since you all want to die, then this marshal will have to grant your wish. Feng King, I can make a bet with you.

"Humph!" Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and laughed. He was too lazy to waste his time talking nonsense with Wei Zheng and turned his horse back to the original formation.

The negotiations between the two generals broke down, and then a full-scale war broke out between the two armies.

Not waiting for Feng Army to press down on the front of the formation, Ning Jun, on the other hand, fearlessly took the initiative to move forward. The army of four hundred thousand, all dressed in steel helmets and Steel Armor, moved like a steel fortress as they reflected the sun. Their steps advanced in unison, causing the ground to tremble.

When Tang Yin who had retreated to the center saw the Ning Army's battle formation take the initiative to approach his side, he sneered and shook his head: "Is the Ning Army that anxious to die?!" While he was speaking, he turned his head and said to Herald: "Inform Xiao Muqing who is in front of us, tell him to use all his strength on me.

"Yes!" "Great King!" Herald agreed as she urged her horse to gallop away.

Then, Tang Yin gave the order for the entire army to attack from the front.

As the Feng Army advanced, it simultaneously struck against the shield. With the sound of the shield being struck as the marching rhythm, the four great formations of Pingyuan Army, Sanshui Army, and Directly Subordinate Army began to move forward simultaneously.

The Wind and Ning armies advanced head-on. Both sides quickly entered each other's range, and the two armies released their arrows at almost the same time.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, dark clouds rose up above the two armies, and the sky was filled with arrows that blotted out the sun as they all flew into the sky at the same time. Two dark clouds met in the air, and the sound of colliding could be heard. Countless broken arrows with broken feathers fell down from the sky, but there were still more arrows flying through the curtain of the enemy arrows, drawing an arc in the air and falling towards the enemy's head.

Pu, Pu, Pu …

In the two armies, the sound of arrows striking the shield, piercing the armor, being struck by arrows and miserable screams rang out simultaneously. Large numbers of soldiers on both sides fell to the ground as they were hit by arrows.

Wei Zheng, who was sitting in the middle of the horse, was shocked. He never thought that the formation of arrows from the Feng Army would actually become this strong as well. Not only were they able to shoot as far as he could, even their might was not inferior to his side's. Feng Army were already adept at close combat, and now that they had mastered the archery to such an extent, it was undoubtedly like adding wings to a tiger. No wonder the Generals And Soldiers of Self Army was unable to withstand the arrows and lost three cities in a row at the Hedong.

Wei Zheng took a deep breath, he waved the small flag in his hand, and upon seeing that, the soldiers on the horse carriages all stopped what they were doing, and in an instant, the drum sounds from the Ning army stopped. Drum beats were the easiest term on the battlefield to call for retreat. Once the drum beats stopped, it meant that there was no need to advance any further.

The soldiers below stood still as if they were nailed to their positions. At the same time, the soldiers in front raised their shields, while the soldiers in the back raised their shields above their heads. In the blink of an eye, the Iron Chariot, which was moving forward in the middle of the army, had turned into a steel fortress that was as stable as a mountain.

Ding dang dang dang — The arrows of Feng Army struck against the shield of Ning Army Camp. Crackling sounds rang out, and sparks flew everywhere. However, the lethality of the arrows had greatly decreased. As soon as Feng Army's arrow formation was over, Ning Jun immediately put down his shield and shot it back in the shortest amount of time. The Feng Army Camp that was advancing forward could not be like the unmoving Ning Jun, who put out a metal board and was invulnerable to attacks. When Ning Jun's Arrow Rain flew over, miserable cries sounded from within the Feng Army Camp as countless of soldiers were shot down to the ground.

The ex-general Xiao Muqing licked his dry lips and ordered his subordinates to use Army-broking Crossbow s to destroy the Ning Army's Shield Array s.

Army-broking Crossbow s were powerful, but they were not as large as Trebuchet s and City-breaking Crossbow s, so it was very easy to hide and carry within the army.

Hearing Xiao Muqing's orders, the regiment leaders and the thousand-man commanders below immediately ordered their soldiers to change their formations.

The soldiers in front of the Feng Army scattered to the left and right, and the soldiers behind quickly pushed 50 Army-broking Crossbow s out, aimed at the Ning Jun's Shield Array, and started to shoot them out.
