Chapter 544
The Ning general shuddered when he saw this, and he took two steps back involuntarily. The few remaining Ning soldiers around him protected him on both sides, their eyes were full of fear, and even the hands holding the weapons were shaking. Read the full text.
Shangguan Yuanrang walked slowly towards the other side, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. Soon, he was only five steps away from the Ning soldiers. It was not known whether it was because they were forced into a dead end or because they were too scared to go crazy. The Ning soldiers around the Ning general suddenly roared and rushed towards Shangguan Yuanrang.
However, their rush was like moths to a flame. There was a flash of cold light on the field, blood arrows shot everywhere, and screams came one after another...
Plop!
The last Ning soldier also fell under Shangguan Yuanrang's spiritual sword. He looked around the corpses on the ground, and finally his eyes fell on the face of the Ning general, and said coldly: "Sir, it's your turn now!"
Gulu! General Ning swallowed hard, he grabbed the spirit sword, gritted his teeth and asked: "Who are you?"
"General Fengshang - Shangguan Yuanrang!" Shangguan Yuanrang reported his life and had already walked close to General Ning.
Shangguan Yuanrang? Hearing this name, General Ning's face changed. Wasn't Shangguan Yuanrang shot to death by Peng He? Why is he still standing here? What's going on? He couldn't figure out the reason, and Shangguan Yuanrang didn't give him extra time to think carefully. Seeing that the other party had walked in front of him, General Ning made up his mind and swung the spirit sword to chop Shangguan Yuanrang's head.
His cultivation was not weak, and the momentum of the full-strength sword was also very terrifying. Shangguan Yuanrang did not dodge, but held the spirit sword in his hand horizontally to block the opponent's heavy sword. Clang clang! The collision of the sword and the sword, sparks jumped up, and the spiritual pressure spreading outward rolled up the dust on the ground, and even the earth walls on both sides of the alley trembled.
After the two sides fought head-on, Shangguan Yuanrang stood still, but General Ning, who took the initiative to attack, was knocked back two steps, his arms and arms were numb, and his knuckles were painful. Shangguan Yuanrang sneered and said, "You are just like me, you can try to take my move!" As he spoke, he swung the sword in his hand outward, and a half-moon-shaped spiritual wave swept towards General Ning.
This spiritual wave made a hissing sound when it flew, and wherever it passed, it caused waves of fluctuations in the surrounding air. An expert can tell the outcome with just one move. Just by looking at the momentum, General Ning knew that this spiritual wave was definitely not something he could block. He didn't have time to think about it, and instinctively jumped into the air to dodge this powerful spiritual wave.
The spiritual wave almost flew past his feet, and just when his body was about to fall back to the ground, he didn't expect that the spiritual wave that had already passed by suddenly turned around and reflected back. It was not until this time that General Ning realized that Shangguan Yuanrang had not released an ordinary spiritual wave, but a spiritual skill, Spirit Slash and Return.
But it was too late for him to realize this. He heard a puff in his ear. General Ning was hit on the waist by the spiritual wave that was turned back. The spiritual armor on his body was broken, and his body was also cut in half by the spiritual wave. His upper body had fallen to the ground, but his lower body was still standing on the ground.
Huh! Shangguan Yuanrang also sighed after hitting General Ning with one move. No matter how deep his spiritual energy was, after such a long period of continuous fighting, his spiritual energy consumption was extremely serious. Just when he was about to rest for a while against the wall, he heard footsteps at both ends of the alley. Not long after, a large group of people ran over from the entrance and end of the alley.
These people were not the Ning Army or the Feng Army. They were all dressed like ordinary people, and the weapons in their hands were even more varied, including sticks, iron rakes, and even brooms. Shangguan Yuanrang was almost laughing out of anger. Before he could speak, the people started to scream: "Wind thieves! There are wind thieves here! Come and kill them!"
As people shouted, the people rushed forward, holding their weapons high, and rushed towards Shangguan Yuanrang. When they got close, they hit him with sticks and iron rakes.
Since these people were all civilians of Ningguo, not the Ning army, Shangguan Yuanrang had no intention of killing them, but the people were relentless and the fight was endless. Although the wooden sticks and iron rakes didn't hurt, they were also very annoying. Shangguan Yuanrang had a bad temper, so how could he stand this? His anger was quickly aroused. He had been lowering his head, but he suddenly shouted and swung the magic sword in his hand. He only swept out three swords, but the people who surrounded and beat him were chopped down in a large number. The remaining people were stunned for a few seconds, and then screamed like pigs being slaughtered. Instead of running away, they beat Shangguan Yuanrang crazily without caring about anything. The latter was determined to kill these Ningguo people who did not pose much threat.
The alley turned into a living hell on earth, with corpses piled up and blood flowing like a river. The ground and walls seemed to be painted with red paint. The siege turned into a tough street battle, and the battle was in a stalemate. The Feng army was fierce and brave in close combat, but they did not know the terrain of Fengcheng well enough. The Ning army had a large number of people and many Ningguo people secretly assisted them, so they were naturally like fish in water. However, even so, they did not dare to compete head-on with the Feng army. Both sides had their strengths and weaknesses, and the battle became more ** and tragic.
Shangguan Yuanrang was only concerned with clearing out the Ning army in the city, but overlooked an important thing, which was to control the city gate. Now there were only 10,000 Ning soldiers left in the city, and another 90,000 were out of the city to hunt down the Sanshui army, but that did not mean they would not come back.
Yan Ze and Wang Yi led the main force of the Ning Army to chase the retreating Sanshui Army. They finally caught up with the Sanshui Army 20 miles away from Fengcheng. At this time, Liang Qi ordered the rear team of the whole army to become the front team, turn around and fight the Ning Army.
Yan and Wang thought that Shangguan Yuanrang was shot by an arrow, and the Feng Army was in retreat, so the morale must be low. Without much consideration, the two ordered the whole army to attack in battle formation.
When the two sides fought, they suddenly realized that the morale of the Feng Army was not low, but was excited. When the Ning Army started shooting arrows, the Feng Army immediately started to shoot back. In terms of the archery formation, the two sides were almost evenly matched. In the following close combat, the disadvantages of the Ning Army in close combat were immediately revealed. The two sides fought for a short time, and the two corps in the front of the Ning Army could not hold on, and a large number of soldiers retreated backwards.
Seeing this, Wang Yi secretly cried out in his heart that it was not good. Even if Shangguan Yuanrang was not in the Feng army's camp, the Feng army's combat effectiveness was still terrifyingly strong. At present, his side was not in the upper hand in terms of numbers. It was obviously unwise to fight against them.
Wang Yi did not dare to delay and immediately proposed to Yan Ze that the whole army retreat and not fight with the Feng army. At this time, Yan Ze also saw that his side was not in the upper hand, and immediately adopted Wang Yi's opinion and ordered the whole army to fight and retreat. The rear army suppressed the opponent with an arrow formation to prevent the Feng army from taking advantage of the victory to chase and kill him.
It can be said that the Ning Army took the initiative to retreat as soon as the two sides fought, but the Ning Army's retreat was not a defeat, so the retreat was also very methodical, and the entire camp was not in chaos. When the front army retreated, the rear army stayed where they were, suppressing the Feng Army with arrow formations. When the front army retreated behind the rear army, the front army became the rear army and continued to suppress the enemy with arrow formations, while the original rear army put away their bows and arrows and retreated quickly. This was a retreat similar to a wheel, which made it impossible for the pursuers to find an opportunity to take advantage of, and they could not take much advantage.
Liang Qi, who was in the central army of Sanshui Army and commanded the battle, nodded secretly. Although the Ning Army was weak in close combat, its overall strength should not be underestimated, especially the opponent's commander, who must be a general who had experienced hundreds of battles.
Since the Ning Army retreated in an orderly manner, he was not in a hurry to pursue the enemy. He ordered the entire army to follow the Ning Army not far away. As Liang Qi's order was passed down, the Sanshui Army immediately changed from retreating to Tongmen to returning along the same route. The soldiers below were a little confused and could not figure out what the commander above was going to do, whether to retreat or go into battle?
Liang Qi was not in a hurry, and led the whole army to follow the Ning army slowly, but Bai Yong, the deputy commander of the Sanshui army, could not help it. He urged his horse to Liang Qi's side and asked tentatively: "General, it seems that the Ning army is retreating to Fengcheng?!"
"That's right." Liang Qi smiled and said, "The Ning army can only retreat to Fengcheng!"
"But...but according to the time calculation, General Yuan Rang should have entered Fengcheng now. General Yuan Rang has only 2,000 cavalrymen. Once the ** million Ning army retreats, General Yuan Rang and the 2,000 soldiers will be in danger!"
Liang Qi restrained his smile and said expressionlessly: "We can catch up with the enemy now and fight head-on, but in this way, the enemy will lose 1,000 and I will lose 800. I don't know how many brothers will be killed and wounded in our army. It's better to let the Ning army retreat to Fengcheng. Our army can cooperate with Yuan Rang inside and outside. In this way, whether it is tactics or morale, our army can have an absolute advantage and minimize the losses."
Bai Yong smiled bitterly. It's easy to say, but how easy is it to do? He said worriedly: "General Yuan Rang has only 2,000 men. I'm afraid... as soon as the main force of the Ning Army withdraws..." Shangguan Yuan Rang's men will be crushed! He didn't say the second half of the sentence directly, but the meaning was already very clear.
Liang Qi shrugged helplessly, turned his head, looked at Bai Yong, and said with a smile: "If that happens, Yuan Rang can only blame himself for his short life. God is jealous of talents!"
Puff! Bai Yong almost choked on his own saliva. What kind of words are these? It's obviously you who didn't help when they were in danger! Bai Yong moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He has been Liang Qi's deputy for quite a while, and he knows Liang Qi's character very well. Although Liang Qi is usually very easy-going and low-key, he is very cruel on the battlefield! His cruel heart is not only to the enemy, but also to his own people. As long as he can win, as long as he can exchange the greatest victory for the smallest price, no matter who it is, he can take it out as a sacrifice.
Liang Qi knew that Shangguan Yuanrang would be in danger if the main force of the Ning army retreated to Fengcheng, but he did not intend to delay the Ning army. He did not intend to kill Shangguan Yuanrang, but in his opinion, even if the enemy army had a million people, Shangguan Yuanrang could still escape if he could not defeat them. As for the two thousand cavalrymen below, their life and death would be in the hands of God, and he could not care so much.
