Chapter 202: Momentum (Part II)

Almighty Cultivation Supreme

On the fourth day of October, before sunset, the Yunjia army occupied De'an City, and none of the more than 4,000 Guangming troops in De'an City escaped, more than 1,400 people were killed in battle, and more than 2,600 people were captured.

On the fifth day of October, in the afternoon, the second division of the Yunjia Army approached the city of Huaili, and the Guangming Army of Huaili City had all withdrawn, and the Yunjia army easily occupied Huaili City.

Originally, Yuan Xin still wanted to stay in Huaili City and block the Yun family army with Huaili City, but the Guangming Army in Huaili City was too small, only 1,500 people, but the Yun Family Army was ten times this number, and the Yun Family Army was equipped with strange but powerful weapons, the 1,500 Guangming Army could not hold Huaili City at all, under the persuasion of the eleventh elder Yan Ping, Yuan Xin finally decided to withdraw the army and led the 1,500 Guangming Army to retreat to Jieliang County.

On the sixth day of October, the first division of the Yunjia Army captured Dunqiu City, and in front of it was Haiqu County, and on the same day, two county towns in the west of Haiqu County were captured by warriors, and a county town in the south of Jieliang County was also captured by warriors.

On the seventh day of October, the second division of the Yunjia Army captured Fuli City, and the next target of the second division was Jieliang County, and on the same day, Haiqu County and Jieliang County each had a county town occupied by warriors.

On the eighth day of October, the first division of the Yunjia Army easily captured the city of Haiqu County, and more than half of Haiqu County had fallen under the control of the Yun Clan.

On the same day, one county seat in Haiqu County and one county in Guide County was captured by warriors, and the southern area of Zezhou was almost owned by the Yun clan.

On the evening of the eighth day of October, the second division of the Yunjia Army was only ten miles away from the county town of Jieliang, and the Guangming Army in the city of Jieliang County was only more than 3,100 people, less than a quarter of the strength of the Yunjia army on the opposite side, and it was almost impossible to hold the county seat of Jieliang, so Yuan Xin had to order the withdrawal of the army again and retreat to Zezhou City in the north overnight.

On the morning of the ninth day of October, the 2nd Division of the Yunjia Army entered the county town of Jieliang, and after staying in the county town of Jieliang for an hour, the 2nd Division left the county town of Jieliang and continued to march north.

After occupying the county town of Jieliang, Yun Yi decided to leave the 2nd Division and lead a squad of cavalry to the northwest to join the 1st Division.

On the 10th day of October, in the morning, the first division of the Yunjia Army captured the last city in the north of Haiqu County, and in the evening, the second division also captured the last city in the north of Jieliang County.

From the fourth day of October to the tenth day of October, the Yunjia army divided into two routes, like a bamboo, and broke through Haiqu County and Jieliang County, a total of two county towns and six county seats, and the registered warriors of the Warrior Guild also jointly captured all the remaining counties of Haiqu County and Jieliang County, and then were taken over by a small force sent by the Yun family's army.

It can be said that except for Haiqu County and some rural areas of Jieliang County, there are still remnants of the Guangming Army hiding in Tibet, these two counties have all fallen under the control of the Yun clan, plus Yunhua County, nearly one-third of the land in Zezhou is occupied by the Yun clan.

At this time, the news that the Yun clan sent troops to occupy most of the southern part of Zezhou and that the Holy Maiden's soldiers were defeated and retreated to Zezhou City also reached the ears of Liu Kun, Zhu Wen and others who were besieging Dingxiang County.

After learning the news, Liu Kun and Zhu Wen felt bad, the saint led 15,000 Guangming Army to be easily defeated by the Yun Family Army under the same strength, it can be seen that the strength of the Yun Family Army is very strong, if you want to block the two Yun Family Army, at least 40,000 horses must be gathered, but now most of the Zezhou Guangming Army is gathered in Dingxiang County, where can there be 40,000 horses to deal with the Yun Family Army.

After discussing with Zhu Wen, Liu Kun and Zhu Wen made a decision to attack Dingxiang County City with all their might, striving to capture Dingxiang County City within five days, and then the whole army would eliminate the Yunjia army that was going north from Haiqu County, and finally return to the division to eliminate the other Yunjia army.

The Guangming Army led by Liu Kun and Zhu Wen has besieged Dingxiang County for more than a month, and before the Guangming Army attacked Dingxiang County, there were more than 38,000 defenders in Dingxiang County, of which recruits accounted for a large proportion, while the Guangming Army led by Liu Kun and Zhu Wen had more than 65,000 people, and there were almost no recruits who had never participated in the battle, and the gap between the two armies was huge.

However, Shangguan's clan is to resist the city and defend, the city wall of Dingxiang County is wide and tall, there is a wide moat outside the city, there are sufficient materials in the city, Shangguan occupies a favorable position, and the Guangming Army has not captured Dingxiang County for more than a month.

After more than a month of offensive and defensive battles, the losses on both sides were very serious.

There are only one-third of the more than 38,000 defenders in Dingxiang County, that is, less than 13,000, and most of them are wounded.

In order to resist the attack of the Guangming Army, the Shangguan clan mobilized the people of Dingxiang County to defend the city, and there were even teenagers under the age of fifteen and old men over the age of fifty among the soldiers who defended the city, and even the women were busy cooking and delivering food, just for one purpose - to hold the Dingxiang County City.

The people of Dingxiang County worked together to resist the Guangming Army, and some of the reasons why the Shangguan clan demonized the Guangming Sect in propaganda were more because the Shangguan clan treated the people under their own rule well, so that Dingxiang County City could persist for more than a month under the onslaught of the Guangming Army, and it could continue to hold on.

The defenders of Dingxiang County suffered heavy casualties, and many warriors belonging to the Shangguan clan and the small families affiliated with the Shangguan clan died very well.

From the beginning of the offensive and defensive battle of Dingxiang County to the present, the Shangguan clan has had eleven innate martial artists, but as many as five people have been killed in the battle, and even Shangguan Yuebin, a veteran innate grandmaster whose strength is as high as the fifth order of the congenital order, has also died in battle, but Shangguan Xiying, who has suffered serious internal injuries, has been staying in the mansion to recuperate because of his strength falling to the day after tomorrow.

The Shangguan clan suffered heavy losses, and the losses of the Guangming Army were equally serious, before the war, the Guangming Army had a total of 65,000 troops, and there were six innate grandmasters in charge, but more than a month has passed, and the Guangming Army has only about 36,000 people left, and there is a deputy hall master and a deputy helmsman who died in battle, and the moat outside Dingxiang County is about to be filled with the corpses of the Guangming soldiers.

Although the losses of the Guangming Army are serious, the Guangming Army still occupies a considerable advantage, if there is no Yunjia Army, it is expected that it will not take half a month for the Guangming Army to capture Dingxiang County.

Now, because of the appearance of the Yun family's army, the Guangming army had to step up its attack on Dingxiang County.

On the city of Dingxiang County, the defenders once again repelled the Bright Army, and some soldiers sat on the ground directly after seeing the Bright Army retreating.

This scene happened, Shangguan Hongbo, who was in the prime of life but was full of gray hair, pretended not to see it, after more than a month of fighting, the soldiers were not only physically exhausted, but also mentally exhausted, and they were about to reach the limit, so if you want to go, how long can Dingxiang County City last?

But now Shangguan Hongbo is thinking about another question in his heart, today's Guangming Army is even more fierce than yesterday's attack, this is very abnormal, what is the reason for the Guangming Army to attack frantically regardless of casualties?
