Volume 10 Chapter 706

Chapter 706

Before all the Ning troops who went to war could escape back to the camp, the gate of the Ning army camp was closed first. A large number of Ning troops were trapped outside the camp gate. People beat the gate and made heart-rending shouts and calls for help. Read the full text.

The person who ordered the camp gate to be closed was none other than Wei Zheng who hurried back. He could see clearly from the tower that if all his soldiers were put into the camp, they would not be able to close the camp door even if they wanted to, and the wind army would definitely take the opportunity to rush in and kill them. Once the camp gate was lost, his camp would also be destroyed. It's at stake.

No matter how much he couldn't bear it, he could only order to close the camp gate in advance to completely isolate the enemy from the camp. Afterwards, Wei Zheng made a quick decision and issued an order to the generals. All the archers went up to the wall of the stronghold and released arrow arrays to shoot down everyone within thirty feet, whether they were enemies or one of his own.

This order was a nightmare for the Feng and Ning armies outside the camp. The thousands of defeated Ning troops and the 6,000 Pingyuan army death squads were the first to be attacked by the Ning army's arrow array.

The defeated army of Ning State was too close to the camp and was hit by the most violent arrows. Even with shields, they could not stop such a dense array of arrows. Just one rain of arrows fell, and hundreds of Ning soldiers turned into hedgehogs. After several rounds of arrows, After the rain, more than a thousand defeated troops were left alive.

The death squads of the Pingyuan Army were not much better. Since they were death squads, they all went into battle lightly. Most of them wore armor or not shields for the sake of portability. Under the arrow formation of the Ning Army, the soldiers no longer fell one by one. Instead, they fell in pieces.

The leaders Nan Ye and Zhan Peng were not spared either. They were each hit by several arrows. Fortunately, they were protected by spiritual armor and their bodies were not hurt. The two men tried the Ning Army's arrow formation for the first time. They were horrified and hastily ordered the entire army to retreat and abandon the attack.

The six thousand Pingyuan troops abandoned thousands of corpses and retreated in panic back to their own lines.

Nan Ye and Zhan Peng were like defeated roosters, their heads lowered and they returned to commander Xiao Muqing.

"General, I am incompetent and failed to lead my brothers into the enemy camp!" The two men knelt down on one knee.

Xiao Muqing smiled and asked, "Do you two know who the commander in the enemy camp is?"

Zhan Peng replied: "Isn't it Wei Zheng?"

"Yes!" Xiao Muqing stared at the Ning Army camp in front of him and said, "If it is so easy for you to attack the camp, what kind of famous general would Wei Zheng be?!"

Nan Ye and Zhan Peng looked at each other and lowered their heads without saying a word. After a moment of pause, Nanye suddenly thought of the injured Wei Xuan and asked hurriedly: "General, how is General Wei's injury? Is his life in danger?"

Xiao Muqing admired Nan Ye's character and felt that he was kind and righteous. He shook his head, smiled, and said, "It's just a minor injury. It'll be fine after a few days of rest."

"Oh! That's good, that's good!" Nan Ye sighed after hearing this.

Xiao Muqing stopped her smile, straightened her face, and said in a deep voice: "Nan Ye, listen to your orders!"

"The general is here!" Nan Ye was shocked and hurriedly stepped in to salute.

"I will give you five thousand elite troops. Go around to the enemy's northern camp and attack at noon. There must be no mistake!"

"I will obey your orders!"

"Zhan Peng listens to the order!"

"The general is here!"

"I will also give you five thousand elite troops. Go around to the enemy's western camp and attack at noon. No mistakes!"

"Got the order!"

Xiao Muqing issued orders continuously, sending Nanye and Zhan Peng away respectively. Then he mounted his horse and walked back and forth in front of his own army formation.

He looked around at the crowds of officers and soldiers of the Pingyuan Army in front of him, and shouted loudly: "We, the Pingyuan Army, were the earliest to be established, have been with the king the longest, and have made the most military exploits. A man is a man of integrity, and if you don't do something, you must do it to the best of your ability. Well, since we have surrendered to the army, we must strive for the greatest military exploits and the greatest glory. In this battle with the Ning thieves, our army is the first to successfully cross the river and the first to reach the enemy's camp. We must defeat the enemy. Battalion, our army must be the first and make the greatest contribution!" As he spoke, he pulled out his sword, grabbed the blade with his other hand, and swung it slowly. Then, he raised his fist high, and blood flowed down it. Tears dripped from the gaps between his fingers, and he shouted loudly without even frowning: "If this battle is not successful, we will be benevolent. We can only advance, not retreat, even if there is only one soldier left in the battle! If the battle is successful, you and I will Brothers are drinking and chatting in the enemy camp. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll meet my brothers in Jiuquan!”

After finishing speaking, he waved the sword in his hand, pointed at the Ning Army camp, and shouted: "God bless our army and make us proud! Kill——"

"kill--"

A general will have a desire to die, but a scholar will have the desire to live? Xiao Muqing swore an oath with blood to share life and death with all the soldiers in the army. People's blood was boiling and they shouted in unison. Before the battle started, their eyes were already red. An army of nearly 100,000 people was arranged in a neat square formation. Without the assistance of siege equipment, it began to approach the Ning Army's camp.

"Wind! Wind! Wind——"

As the Pingyuan Army advanced, they kept shouting, and the sound of weapons hitting shields had already overwhelmed the sound of war drums. The loud bangs shook away the fear of one's own side and frightened the enemy.

Inside the Ningjun camp. Wei Zheng stood on the tower, looking at the Feng Army pressing in from outside the camp. His brows furrowed deeper and deeper. In the Feng Army camp, the flags of the Pingyuan Army that could be seen everywhere made Wei Zheng feel extremely dazzling, and he even started to feel a twinge on his back. Chilly.

As the saying goes, a person's name is like the shadow of a tree. As the strongest army in the Feng Kingdom, the Pingyuan Army has long been known to the Ning Army. The last thing the Ning Army wants to encounter is the Pingyuan Army who is willing to fight with their lives.

On the battlefield, fear of the enemy can only increase the chance of defeat for one's side. Wei Zheng knew this very well. He took a long breath, cheered up, and gave the order: "The whole army is ready, the enemy is nearly thirty feet away, shoot arrows!"

The messenger agreed and immediately passed on Wei Zheng's generals.

Outside the enemy's range, the Pingyuan Army's advance was neither fast nor slow, mainly using momentum to oppress the opponent and create psychological pressure on the enemy.

Xiao Muqing was not a commander who was good at making strange plans, nor did he agree with the practice of taking advantage of opportunities on the battlefield. His style was steady. His principle was to ensure that he would not make mistakes first, and then use a tough and tough style to force the opponent to make mistakes, so that he could seize the opportunity and kill the enemy with one blow.

It was precisely because of his style that the Pingyuan Army was good at fighting hard battles.

As the Pingyuan Army got closer and closer, the atmosphere on the battlefield became more and more tense. The solemnity on the eve of the war weighed on everyone's heart. Under the leadership of Xiao Muqing, the Pingyuan Army had abandoned fear, but the Ning Army soldiers were tense, and many soldiers were shaking with their hands holding their weapons.

"Release the arrows--"

"Release the arrows--"

Seeing that the Feng Army had advanced thirty feet, the shouts of shooting arrows in the Ning Army camp became one.

Buzz——A black cloud of arrows rose in the Ning camp, and the shrieks merged into a dull whistle. The dense rain of arrows drew perfect arcs in the air and fell into the camp of the Feng army.

Dingdingdangdang——puff, puff, puff——the sound of arrows hitting shields and breaking armor into flesh sounded at the same time. The soldiers of the Pingyuan army seemed to be blind to the rain of arrows. They held their shields and continued to move forward with their eyes wide open. The brothers in front were shot down by stray arrows, and the soldiers behind did not even blink, as if they were machines without emotions. There was only one thought in their consciousness, that is, to move forward! It seemed that there was only one way to stop them from moving forward, to end their lives.

The arrow formations of the Ning army came one after another, and the soldiers of the Pingyuan army fell one after another, but the overall camp did not slow down, but accelerated. People stepped on the corpses of their comrades and moved forward. There was no fear in their hearts, but they were filled with anger, and their bloodshot eyes became more and more scarlet.

The attackers, who numbered less than 100,000, attacked the defenders, who numbered nearly 200,000. This was a suicidal attack for any army. However, on the battlefield at this time, the morale of the Pingyuan Army completely overwhelmed the opponent. The Pingyuan Army's square formation was like a steel fortress in motion. It might be able to open a gap, but it could not stop its advance.

Facing the rain of arrows from the Ning Army, the soldiers of the Pingyuan Army stepped on the bodies of their companions and advanced to the front of the Ning Camp.

When they reached the bottom of the wall, the cloud ladders were set up, and the soldiers of the Pingyuan Army began to swarm up with steel knives in their mouths.

Due to the limited number of cloud ladders, most people could not squeeze in front of the cloud ladders, so the soldiers of the Pingyuan Army immediately set up human ladders and let their companions step on their bodies to rush into the Ning Camp.

The siege battle between the two sides officially began.

On the wall of the village, the Ning Army shot arrows downwards, and outside the wall of the village, the Feng Army shot arrows upwards. The arrows of both sides shuttled continuously in the air, devouring the lives of the soldiers of both sides.

At this time, no one is absolutely safe. A lively life can be shot by a stray arrow in the blink of an eye and become a cold corpse.

No one is lucky at this time. In the bloody and inhumane fight, dying in battle may be a relief.

Wei Zheng has been on the battlefield for a long time and has experienced countless big and small battles. But facing such a crazy Pingyuan Army, he suddenly felt powerless. 200,000 against 100,000, even if it is a head-on battle on flat ground, it should be a sure win. But now, with the camp as cover, he still feels guilty.

The Pingyuan soldiers seem to have turned into wild beasts, using all available methods to climb up the wall of the stockade, but as soon as they climbed up, they were killed. The corpses outside the stockade wall were all over the ground. At this time, the Pingyuan Army collected the bodies of their brothers and piled them into a mountain, so that people could climb up on the piled bodies.

As the battle continued, the bodies of the Pingyuan Army had accumulated to the same level as the wall of the Ning Army camp. The soldiers below no longer needed to climb up, they could just step on the bodies of their companions to run up the wall. At this point in the battle, both sides had entered the most difficult stage. No matter which side relaxed first, a tragic defeat would follow.

The Pingyuan Army fell into a completely crazy state. No matter how many soldiers died, the wave after wave of strong attacks showed no signs of abating. It was the Ning Army, which had the advantage of terrain and a large number of people, that was the first to be afraid. Facing the blood-thirsty Feng Army, people felt fear from the bottom of their hearts. The Ning Army on the wall was gradually retreating, and more and more Pingyuan Army rushed up. Talented Pavilion
