Chapter 3630: Fight as per the Rules

The demon lion used bone-piercing nails to kill the enemy's leader. Feiyan and Shanmao also targeted the leader.

Tang Xinyao's wind and thunder fan and Leiming's Thor's hammer also used wind and thunder, and with the blood mist formation flag, they attacked the soldiers on a large scale.

Qiongqi also constantly drew formations out of thin air and slapped them into the enemy's army, killing a large number of soldiers with one blast.

"Why did their sneak attack make such a big noise this time?" Song Qing was still wondering.

Du Hansong didn't react to the large-scale attack at first. Because the people who came were still those who often came to make trouble. But when he heard the earth-shaking shouts and the demon army suddenly attacked the mountains across the board, he realized that it was not good.

But it was too late for him to react at this time. Ye Liuyun and his men had already opened a gap, and the tiger-headed beast king behind them had already followed with the demon army, tearing open their defense line from here and continuously expanding the gap.

When Du Hansong saw the situation outside, he knew that they could no longer hold on.

"Retreat, all retreat to the city!"

Du Hansong sighed and asked the army in front to continue to resist, while part of the army in the back retreated to the city of Pingyang Pass to defend.

"Who will reinforce us if we retreat into the city?" Song Qing also asked the question he was concerned about. Even he was already here, once they were surrounded, there would be no reinforcements to save them.

"Ask the Central Dynasty for help, Pingyang Pass can't be defended!"

Du Hansong threw down a sentence and led his troops to withdraw without looking back.

As the commander-in-chief, he knew the situation here very well. Once the natural barrier was broken, they would be even more unable to defend, and the end would be the destruction of the whole army sooner or later.

And they couldn't all withdraw now. Once they all withdrew, they would be chased and killed by the demon army, and the result would be even worse. So he could only sacrifice part of the army now, let them stay where they were, and create opportunities for the rest to evacuate.

He also saw that Ye Liuyun's ability to command troops was not weaker than his, and he was more patient than him.

Some of their men had already recognized Ye Liuyun, but they just couldn't do anything with him. They all thought that Ye Liuyun was taking revenge on Song Qing and Du Hansong, so he joined the demon clan to attack him.

"Why don't we send some resources to that Ye Liuyun, negotiate peace with him, and invite him back. At this critical moment, it's okay to bow to him!" Song Qing also suggested to Du Hansong.

Du Hansong frowned when he heard this, but did not object, which was considered as tacit agreement.

So after they retreated into Pingyang Pass, Song Qing began to arrange resources and negotiators, preparing to negotiate with Ye Liuyun. At the same time, he was also asking for help from the Central Dynasty.

Ye Liuyun was leading the demon army to encircle and suppress the remaining defenders. As soon as the opponent's army withdrew, he knew that the opponent was not going to defend to the death.

The defenders left behind also knew that they were sacrificed and could only fight to the death. There were about 200,000 defenders left, but they were the main force of the garrison. Now the mountains are full of corpses, and blood flows down the bodies to the foot of the mountain.

The demons took Pingyang Pass again at a relatively low cost. And this time, the defenders had no more reinforcements, and even the king Song Qing was trapped in the city.

Ye Liuyun led the army to clean up the battlefield calmly, and then led the army to camp in front of the city, and did not surround the city.

Then the demon army trained 100,000 troops around every day, and the other 400,000 troops held their positions and did not attack the city.

If Ye Liuyun surrounded the city to death, the soldiers in the city would definitely fight to the death. Because there was no way back. But now he did not surround or attack, but just trained every day and let the soldiers in the city watch.

The soldiers in the city were terrified every day under such high pressure. In addition, Ye Liuyun had a precedent of sneak attacking them before, so they were afraid of enemies every day.

Some soldiers with poor psychological quality soon couldn't help but run away.

After receiving the report from his subordinates, Du Hansong sent more patrols to kill the deserters. As a result, the soldiers who wanted to escape would fight to the death every time they met the patrols, which made the army more unstable.

Song Qing

The people sent to give gifts and negotiate were also killed directly by Ye Liuyun, but he kept all the resources, without any courtesy.

His intention was also very clear, that is, to tell Song Qing that there was only one way to surrender.

Ye Liuyun also paid attention to the latest situation in the city every day. One night, he was idle and asked the army to beat the war drums. As a result, the soldiers in the city thought that Ye Liuyun was going to attack the city again, and tens of thousands of soldiers ran away at once.

"Hahaha, these cowardly idiots!" Lei Ming couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

The monsters didn't know any psychological skills, they just thought those soldiers were cowardly and funny.

Song Qing, Du Hansong and other commanders were also nervous all night in the city. The next day, the commander of the army reported that tens of thousands of soldiers had run away in one night.

"The situation is over. Ye Liuyun is a master at leading troops. We have no chance to turn the tables! If there are no reinforcements, we should just surrender!" Du Hansong also sighed. He didn't expect that he would be defeated by a mercenary.

But the facts are in front of him, and he can't refuse. It's better to surrender than to let tens of thousands of soldiers die with him.

"Yes, there are reinforcements!" Song Qing said immediately, fearing that Du Hansong would surrender with his soldiers now.

"Chang Yunhou of the Central Dynasty will bring 300,000 troops to reinforce us!" Song Qing said firmly.

In fact, he was just discussing the conditions with Chang Yunhou. But now he has decided to agree to all the conditions proposed by the other party in exchange for reinforcements.

"Then wait and see!" Du Hansong actually wanted to say that 300,000 troops were not enough.

But think about it, it is the army of the Central Dynasty, and its strength must be stronger than theirs, so just wait and see. He actually hoped that Ye Liuyun would not dare to go to war with the Central Dynasty, so that they would have room for maneuver.

Song Qing also immediately agreed to Chang Yunhou's conditions and handed over one-third of the tax revenue of the entire southern region to Chang Yunhou.

Chang Yunhou immediately asked Zhongxing Dynasty to lead 300,000 troops to reinforce Song Qing.

Zhongxing Dynasty was also thinking about who to send to scare Ye Liuyun to see if he could calm Ye Liuyun, so they agreed to it.

Chang Yunhou also sent troops immediately. He was also worried that he would not get paid after Song Qing was destroyed.

Chang Yunhou's army rushed to Pingyang Pass through the teleportation array, so they were teleported from major cities in the south. Ye Liuyun immediately got the news from the mercenaries.

However, they still had to take a warship to Pingyang Pass. There was no teleportation array at Pingyang Pass to prevent it from being used by the demons.

"Only 300,000? It seems that the Central Dynasty just wants to test it!" Ye Liuyun immediately understood.

"We will fight as usual!" He made a decision immediately.
