Chapter 388

Qin Bao and Qu Jing led their 20,000 direct troops to fight against Peng's army. The two sides fought against each other, and the generals fought extremely fiercely. Read the full text.

Among the Peng Army, the one that can really compete with the Tianyuan Army is Zhong Tian's close army. After all, the number of close troops is limited. How can a force of several thousand people defeat the 20,000 Tianyuan Army.

Less than half an hour after the two sides fought, thousands of close troops were scattered by the Tianyuan Army and divided into several pieces. They lost control and fought independently.

On the other side, the duel between Zhan Hu and Zhan Wudi continues. Zhan Hu's cultivation level is not as deep as Zhan Wudi's, but he is powerful. Zhan Wudi cannot gain much advantage in a head-on fight, but it is not easy for Zhan Wudi to overwhelm Zhan Hu with his spiritual martial arts skills.

Zhan Hu is agile and proficient in skills. As long as Zhan Wudi releases his domineering spiritual martial arts skills, he will immediately avoid their sharp edges and get out of the way of the center where the opponent's attacks are densest. Then he will use skills to neutralize his wing attacks. . Zhan Wudi released his skills several times, but they failed to hurt Zhan Hu at all. Instead, his tired forehead was sweating. In the end, he did not dare to use skills indiscriminately and consume his spiritual energy.

The two of them were fighting inextricably, and the soldiers below were fighting fiercely. Ning's soldiers were numerous and powerful, but they were not good at close combat and lacked preparation. They rushed into battle and their formation was very chaotic. They engaged in a melee with only 30,000 Tianyuan Army soldiers. Instead of having an advantage on the scene, the situation was actually precarious.

On the battlefield, Ning Bing dragged his heavy armor, and his movements seemed clumsy and slow. If the formation was neat, the heavy armor could indeed play a complete defensive role, but now it was a melee, and Ning Jun's armor was It became a heavy burden for the soldiers.

Due to the limitations of his armor, Ning Bing could only pay attention to the front of himself and had no sense of the sides and rear. In the melee between the two sides, the enemy not only appeared from the front, but countless Ning soldiers were not there yet. When he figured out what was going on, he was cut down to the ground by Feng Jun who suddenly came out from beside or behind him.

There were more Ning soldiers who had clearly seen enemies coming towards them, but before they could even use their offensive moves, they were thrown to the ground by the soldiers of Tianyuan who rushed forward.

When both sides fell to the ground, Feng Jun, who only wore leather armor, got up much faster than Ning Bing. After getting up, Feng Jun, who was agile, held knives in both hands and slashed and stabbed Ning Jun's soldiers who fell to the ground. Amidst the continuous collisions, the weapons in the hands of Sergeant Feng were curled, and the steel armor on Ning Bing was also riddled with holes. Ning Bing inside was covered in cuts, and blood was gurgling along the gaps in the armor. outflow.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. On the entire battlefield, there are countless Ning soldiers who died tragically under Feng Saber. Looking up, corpses wrapped in steel armor but broken into pieces can be seen everywhere, and the blood will make Ruochang's officialdom almost crazy. Dyeing blood red, screams and moans resounded from every corner of the battlefield, and the smell of blood and stench of internal organs floating in the air was nauseating.

The several-mile-long team of Ning Jun and Peng Jun was now in chaos. Fierce fighting was taking place everywhere. There were panicked and fleeing people everywhere. The horses carrying the baggage were also affected by the fighting between the two sides from time to time. , frightened and ran away, pulling the carriage on a rampage, making the battlefield more busy.

In such a fierce battle, the Peng Army was the first to be unable to hold on. As Zhong Tianjin's army was killed by the Tianyuan Army, the rest of the ordinary Peng Army did not dare to fight and fled in groups. .

Although Peng Jun could not help Ning Jun much on the battlefield, their retreat had a huge impact on Ning Jun's morale. Ning Jun was not an opponent of Tianyuan Army to begin with, and under the influence of Peng Jun, his momentum was completely defeated by Tianyuan Army. Pressed down, the entire camp was forced to gradually retreat.

The bravery between the two armies prevailed. The nearly 150,000 Ning Army and Peng Army were defeated by the red-eyed Tianyuan Army. The number of soldiers killed and wounded by the Tianyuan Army plus the soldiers trampled on each other and trampled to death and injured more than 10,000 people. , how can one word describe the scene as tragic?

At this time, even Zhan Wushuang, who was so good at commanding on the spot, was helpless. Looking at the situation on the battlefield, he felt that if the fight continued, all his troops would be annihilated. In desperation, he stamped his feet cruelly and made the move with difficulty. The order for the entire army to retreat.

This order relieved the struggling Ning Army soldiers. Under the command of the generals of each army, tens of thousands of Ning Army gave up their entanglement with the Tianyuan Army and all fled south. As soon as the Ning army withdrew, some of the Peng army that was still fighting with the Tianyuan army lost all intention to fight. They ran faster than the Peng army and were defeated like a piece of loose sand.

It is easy to give the order to retreat, but how can it be so simple to retreat in a melee? Ning Jun and Peng Jun ran in front, but Tianyuan Army refused to follow them. They chased and fought at the back, and they came up with their butts in their arms. Countless Ning Jun and Peng Jun soldiers were chopped down to the ground by the chasing Tianyuan Army. Died violently.

This can be called a huge defeat. The Ning army and the Peng army retreated in a hurry. Not to mention a large amount of baggage, even the food and grass were all thrown away. The entire army of more than 100,000 people had nothing but weapons in their hands. Besides, I took almost nothing else with me.

If Wu Guang was not seriously injured, the Tianyuan Army would have chased and killed Ning Army and Peng Army. However, after only chasing two miles, Wu Guang could no longer hold on. His body on the horse shook a few times, and then, He rolled his eyes upwards and fell off his horse.

Wu Guang fell from his horse and fell into coma, which frightened the surrounding Tianyuan Army soldiers. Zhan Hu also immediately retreated to check Wu Guang's injuries.

Although Zhan Hu had never learned medicine, he was a military commander after all, and he knew a little about external injuries. After seeing Wu Guang's injuries, he immediately realized that it was serious, and issued an order to give up chasing the enemy soldiers, take the baggage and food left by the enemy, and return to Wancheng at full speed to join the main force of his side.

The carriages left by the Ning Army and the Peng Army came in handy. Zhan Hu carried Wu Guang on a carriage and then went to Wancheng at full speed.

Let's talk about the Ning Army and the Peng Army that were defeated in the direction of Fengcheng. They fled for more than ten miles before they stopped. At this time, the commanders of the two armies almost cried when they counted the number of people.

The Ning Army, which originally had 120,000 or 30,000, now only has 60,000 or 70,000 people left. The soldiers' helmets and armor were crooked. In order to speed up, many soldiers even threw away their helmets and upper body armor, and their hair was disheveled and they only wore middle clothes. The Peng army was in an even worse situation. The Peng army of 30,000 people now only had more than 3,000 people. More importantly, these more than 3,000 people were a mob. The most elite troops had been killed in the previous battle.

When the whole army took a break, Zhong Tian, ​​who was dressed in casual clothes, walked out of the team accompanied by several ministers and generals to find the two brothers Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi. Just now on the battlefield, the luxurious carriage that Wu Guang saw was indeed Zhong Tian's ride, but he cunningly did not sit on the ground, but gave it to one of his ministers.

He did not foresee that he would be attacked by the Tianyuan army on the way to Fengcheng, but he knew that there were too many people who hated him in Fengguo. He would feel unsafe after leaving the heavily guarded palace, fearing that he would encounter assassins on the road, so he only wore casual clothes and mixed in with the Peng army, and arranged a minister to sit in the car.

It was precisely because of his caution that he escaped a disaster and did not die under Wu Guang's knife.

In the Ning army camp, Zhong Tian saw Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi, who were dejected and silent. He wiped the sweat from his head, rushed forward, and asked anxiously: "General Wushuang, General Wudi, where should we go now?"

The two brothers of the Zhan family looked at Zhong Tian, ​​angry, hateful, angry, and resentful. In their eyes, Zhong Tian was simply a bad luck god. Since they helped him, the two brothers have suffered defeats. The army of 400,000 at the beginning is now only a few tens of thousands. Do they still have the face to return to Ningguo?

"Hey!" Zhan Wudi stamped his feet fiercely and sighed to the sky.

Zhan Wushuang smiled bitterly, bowed to Zhong Tian, ​​and said: "Your Majesty, we have no way back now, we can only... continue to retreat to Fengcheng!"

"But..." Zhong Tian swallowed his saliva and said: "Isn't Fengcheng under a massive attack by the Tianyuan Army? With only our current strength, if we go to Fengcheng, I'm afraid we will..." He didn't finish his words, but looked at Zhan Wushuang with worry.

Alas! Zhan Wushuang sighed and said faintly: "Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in Fengcheng, we have to force our way through, otherwise, we will be trapped here to death!"

Zhong Tian grinned and asked in a low voice: "General Wushuang, why don't we fight back? Maybe the enemy who attacked our army has not withdrawn yet..."

Before he finished speaking, the upset Zhan Wudi couldn't stand it anymore. He roared angrily and said: "We finally got rid of the enemy's pursuit, and now we have to fight back again. Are we going to die?"

"But...but..." Zhong Tian stuttered for a long time and didn't say the next word. He didn't notice it when he was running away just now. Now that he was safe, he realized that the gold, silver, jewelry and other baggage he carried were not taken away. Now they must have fallen into the hands of the Tianyuan Army. These riches are his lifeblood. Whether he can make a comeback in the future depends on these money. How can he not be anxious at this time? It's just that it's really hard to say this, and he also knows that if Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi go back to the Tianyuan Army to fight for their money, they will definitely not agree.

"Don't say but!" Zhan Wudi said angrily: "If you want to go back, go back by yourself. My brother and I have decided to go all the way south, retreat to Moguo first, and then turn back to Ningguo. If you want to live, go with my brother. If you think your life is too long, go back to the Tianyuan Army for revenge!"

"What? Go back to Ningguo?" Zhong Tian was shocked when he heard this. He turned his head to look at Zhan Wushuang and asked uncertainly: "General Wushuang, what General Wudi said is... true?"
