Chapter 704

Jiang Fan on the raft stared into the river for a long time, but did not see the enemy. After confirming that the enemy had escaped, he put away his bow and paddled the raft towards Tang Yin.

"My king, are you okay?" When he got closer, Jiang Fan asked with concern while pulling Tang Yin onto the raft.

Tang Yin shook his head and smiled, saying, "How can a mere Ning thief hurt me?!" As he spoke, he first threw the unconscious Ning army commander onto the raft, and then jumped up holding Jiang Fan's hand.

"My king, who is this man..." Jiang Fan asked curiously.

"It should be the Ning army commander!" Tang Yin shook his body and shook off the river water on his spiritual armor.

"Ah?" Jiang Fan was surprised. Before he could speak, Tang Yin said, "Take this man away first."

"My king, what about you?"

"I'll sink this warship! If I'm not mistaken, this should be the enemy's main warship. As long as it sinks, the enemy will be in chaos without fighting." After saying this, Tang Yin's figure disappeared, and he used Shadow Drift to flash back to the deck of the warship again.

At this time, the Ning army on the ship had also seen that their main general was captured by the enemy. People wanted to shoot arrows, but they were afraid of accidentally hurting the main general. They were at a loss and anxious like ants on a hot pot.

Tang Yin returned to the ship again, without any extra nonsense, waving his sickle, killing anyone he saw, and cutting anyone he saw, killing the Ning army on the deck and making them cry and scream.

Tang Yin killed from the deck to the bottom of the cabin, which was full of people, but they were not Ning soldiers, but slaves with the army. Their main job on the ship was to row the oars.

Suddenly, a spiritual cultivator in black spiritual armor appeared, and the slaves were also startled. Tang Yin shook his body, and with a whoosh, dark fire burned on his body. Then, he swung the sickle in his hand downward fiercely, and with a click, the sickle pierced the bottom of the boat. Tang Yin dragged the sickle and rushed from one end of the cabin to the other. As long as the slaves around touched his body, they were all swallowed by the dark fire and burned into spiritual mist. At the same time, the bottom of the warship was also cut open by the sickle. A large hole more than ten meters long, and the river water gushed out.

"Ah--"

Suddenly, the slaves shouted together and ran out of the cabin in panic. Hundreds of efforts crowded in the narrow exit, and no one could get out. Tang Yin showed a cruel sneer at the corner of his mouth. He stretched out his palm, and the spiritual energy condensed into a black ball of light. With a flick of his wrist, the ball of light flew into the crowd.

More than a hundred slaves, under the ravages of the shadow curse, had nowhere to escape and no way to dodge. They were blown into pulp in an instant, and the dark flesh and blood splattered all over the cabin. Tang Yin was also affected. The spirit armor on his body hissed and smoked. He stepped on the flesh and blood on the ground and walked out of the cabin.

When he got outside, he swung the sickle in his hand and started a second round of killing. When the warship had sunk more than half and the Ning army on the ship began to jump into the water to escape, he performed shadow drift and flashed to another warship.

The main general was captured and the main warship was silent. This was a fatal blow to the morale of the Ning army. The Ning army had no intention of fighting. The leaders of each warship gave orders to turn the bow and retreat to their own camp. However, the battle had already become a stalemate at this time, so they could not withdraw if they wanted to.

Of the fifty warships that came in full force, only a dozen actually withdrew. The rest were either severely damaged and unable to sail, or controlled by the Feng Army that climbed up. Even the dozen warships that retreated were damaged.

This battle was a tragic victory for the Feng Army. Although more than thirty Ningguo warships were sunk and captured, and tens of thousands of Ning Army soldiers were killed or wounded, the direct army also paid a painful price. Among more than 100,000 people, nearly 20,000 were killed, and countless were injured. Most of these casualties were caused by both sides before the close combat. If it weren't for the Ning Army's commander being too careless and misleading, and wanting to directly overturn the Feng Army's raft, the final result would be uncertain!

With 40,000 casualties to repel the Ningguo warships, Tang Yin was already very satisfied with this result. He ordered all the Ning Army prisoners to be driven onto the warships, escorted by the Feng Army, and the warships were driven to the other side. Those Feng Army soldiers who could not get on the warships controlled the rafts with all their strength and crossed the river quickly. Tang Yin knew very well that the fifty warships were not the main force of the Ning Army, and more Ning Army warships might come over.

Although crossing the river here was not difficult, it was not easy either. However, the Pingyuan Army, which was ten miles away from them, encountered almost no obstruction. More than 100,000 Pingyuan Army soldiers crossed the Zhang River smoothly without seeing any enemy soldiers or ships.

As people stepped on the land, their hearts finally fell down. Xiao Muqing's excited face was trembling. It was really unexpected that the Zhang River, which had caused his side to suffer two consecutive defeats, could be crossed so easily. It can be seen that it was God's help that the strong wind destroyed Ning!

The Pingyuan Army soldiers went ashore in batches, and immediately formed a battle formation on the shore, waiting in full battle formation to prevent the enemy from suddenly appearing and attacking. On the other side, the rafts that came over returned to the other side and began to transport their own weapons and supplies continuously.

After the main forces had all crossed the Zhang River, Xiao Muqing gave an order and the main army marched north to attack the Hexi camp of Ningguo.

The Pingyuan Army marched northward in a mighty manner. Within half an hour, they passed the place where the direct army had forced a crossing.

At this time, the direct army had just driven away the reinforcements of Ningguo, and the vanguard troops landed on land.

The Pingyuan Army then stopped advancing and defended the position for the direct army.

After Tang Yin landed, Xiao Muqing immediately came forward, saluted, and asked: "My king, what were the losses of our army when crossing the river?"

Tang Yin looked back and saw that the river was in a mess, with wooden boards and floating corpses everywhere. He said expressionlessly: "The casualties are no less than 40,000." As he spoke, he frowned and asked: "Mu Qing, why are you stopping here? Why don't you go attack the Ning Army camp soon?"

"I am afraid that the enemy army will set up an ambush nearby and attack the king..."

"You don't need to worry about this." Tang Yin said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and attack the enemy camp. If it's too late, the Sky Eagle Army may be completely annihilated!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll rush over right now!" Hearing Tang Yin's stern tone, Xiao Muqing didn't dare to delay any longer. He sent the order and the whole army set off and continued to march north.

Under the leadership of Xiao Muqing, the Pingyuan Army was the first Feng Army to reach the Hexi Camp of Ningguo. At this time, Wei Zheng was still leading the main force of the Ning Army to fight the Tianying Army in Zhanghe River. The camp defenses were empty. The few defenders suddenly saw so many Feng troops coming outside. They were frightened and hurriedly gave up. Wei Zheng sent a letter of emergency.

Wei Zheng was also startled when he received the emergency message from the rear. The Feng army split up to cross in one direction from the north and the other to the south. He had already sent reinforcements. Even if he was defeated, he would not let the Feng army come over so quickly. ! Just when he was puzzled, the defeated soldiers who fought with the direct army retreated.

More than a dozen warships were all covered in scars and were moving slowly due to going upstream. Seeing his own defeated troops, Wei Zheng's head also buzzed. He secretly thought that something was wrong, so he hurriedly sent an order, and all the central and rear troops returned to their own camp and stood firm.

As the Chinese and rear troops retreated to Ning camp, the number of warships on the river suddenly dropped by hundreds, leaving only a hundred or so fighting outside. But even so, the Sky Eagle Army was still unable to break through the Ning Army's defense line. Wooden ships in the Sky Eagle Army's camp were still penetrated and broken from time to time, and the number of people killed continued to increase.

Up to now, more than half of the more than 100,000 Skyhawk troops have been killed or injured. Looking from a distance, the broken wooden boards on the river are covered with a thick layer, with countless corpses mixed in. The river has already completely turned into Bloody water.

Ziying, who was supervising the battle, was still insisting, but the generals under his command could no longer bear it. They looked at each other, nodded silently, and then all raised their hands to Ziying and said: "General, the Pingyuan Army has reached the other side. Our army has reached the other side. The mission of attracting the enemy's main force has been completed. Order the retreat now!"

Ziying stood on the bow of the boat with her hands behind her back, without looking back, and said quietly: "I haven't seen the king's army yet."

A general said urgently: "Since the Pingyuan Army has arrived, the king's army must have arrived ashore."

"What if not?" Ziying narrowed her eyes and said, "If the king's army is still crossing the river, and our army withdraws, more than a hundred enemy ships will go down the river. How can you resist the king?"

"This..." The general general was speechless. Another general's eyes were red and he said tremblingly: "If our army continues to fight, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated. General, please leave a force for the Sky Eagle Army." Bloodline!"

Hearing this, Ziying didn't even blink, staring at the battlefield ahead, and said in a deep voice: "Everything must focus on the overall situation! Even if there is only one soldier left in the battle, we must ensure that the king is safe. Who dares to retreat lightly? , Military *** Department!”

His words were clear to the point, but his heart had already shrunk into a ball. He single-handedly brought up the Sky Eagle Army. The cannon fodder army in Tang Yin's eyes could become one of the five main armies of the Feng Kingdom. Ziying had a lot to do with it and worked hard.

At this time, Ziying's heart was bleeding as he watched his subordinates and brothers die tragically under Ning's arrows. However, he did not dare to order a retreat without confirming that all the troops directly under him had crossed the river. He had to persevere despite grinding his teeth and breaking his scalp.

If the coach doesn't give the order, it's no use even if the people below are vomiting blood in a hurry, the fierce battle like moths flying into the flame continues...

On the other side, the Pingyuan Army that arrived at the Ning Army's camp has begun to attack.

Shangguan Yuanrang and Zhan Hu were both injured and did not participate in the battle across the river. Wu Guang was in the Sanshui Army, Jiang Fan was in the Directly Affiliated Army, and the generals in charge of leading the battle in the Pingyuan Army were newcomers Nan Ye, Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan.

These three men were assigned by Tang Yin as the chief and deputy vanguard officers of the Pingyuan Army. When attacking the enemy camp, the three men each led two thousand death squads and rushed to the forefront of the entire army.

The Ning army guarding the camp hurriedly fought, and several Ning generals and five thousand Ning troops rushed out.

The two sides drew up their stance in front of the two armies and arranged their formations. Wei Xuan did not say hello to Nanye and Zhan Peng, but directly raised his spear and urged his horse to rush out. When he reached the center of the two armies, he reined in his horse and pointed with his spear. Ning Jun camp shouted: "I am Wei Xuan of the Feng Kingdom, who dares to come out and fight with me?"
