Chapter 60: Both sides lose

"What's the battle situation ahead?" Zhou Yunfeng asked as he looked at the scout who came back to report.

"In the first battle, the two sides were evenly matched, but as time passed, the Fire Phoenix Legion gradually gained the upper hand. Captain Wei Tianquan and Captain Jun Tian joined forces to fight against Tian Zhong, the division leader of the Fire Phoenix Legion, and they had already fallen into disadvantage, while Captain Zhou Yunlong had a slight upper hand by monopolizing the two commanders on the other side!" the soldier bowed.

"Okay, I'll know what I've done! Continue to observe and report the battle situation at any time!" Zhou Yunfeng said in a deep voice.

"The Fire Phoenix Legion is really not simple, Jun Tian and Wei Tianquan have both joined forces and instantly fallen into the downwind, this Tian Zhong should already be a six-turn martial emperor!" Zhou Yunfeng said in a deep voice: "The Fengyun Division has fallen into the downwind, and the water has been tested clearly. ”

Although the Fengyun Division and the Fire Phoenix Legion are both very strong, after all, the Fire Phoenix Legion, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, gradually gained the upper hand after more than ten minutes of the battle, and at this time, the casualty ratio of the two sides began to increase.

Half an hour after the battle, the Fengyun Division had already killed nearly 5,000 people and lost 10% of its troops, while the Fire Phoenix Legion had only lost more than 3,000 people, which clearly showed that the Fengyun Division had completely fallen into disadvantage.

The battle between the strong men of the Martial Emperor is also in full swing, they are sometimes in the air, sometimes on the ground, and now Jun Tian and Wei Tianquan have been injured, although the injuries are not serious, but it has affected their combat effectiveness, and their opponent Tian Zhong is uninjured, and the attack on Jun Tian and Wei Tianquan is easy to deal with.

Although Zhou Yunlong has just broken through to the Third Rank Martial Emperor, and his opponent is also a third-turn Martial Emperor early powerhouse and a second-turn Martial Emperor early stage powerhouse, but these two people are only cultivating low-level ** combat skills, and Zhou Yunlong also has the advantage of thunder attributes, so even if it is one against two, he also does not fall into the disadvantage, but on the contrary, he also occupies the initiative.

Although the six of them were fighting fiercely, they all saw the battle situation below clearly, and now the Fengyun Division was already at a disadvantage, and if they continued to fight to the death, there would inevitably be only one way to lose.

As the temporary commander of these 50,000 people, Wei Tianquan knew very well what to do now, so half an hour after the battle began, Wei Tianquan ordered a retreat.

In fact, they had already expected such an outcome, so they had already made arrangements, and when they ordered the retreat, the army of the Fengyun Division did not swarm to run, but retreated while fighting.

Wei Tianquan wanted to run, Tian Zhong was definitely not happy, although the 50,000 people of the Fengyun Division were defeated by him, but the results he wanted were not only that.

Gongsun Yuan didn't want to be infamous for bullying and bullying less, so he didn't send more troops to annihilate the 50,000 people of the Fengyun Division, but if he could annihilate the 50,000 people of the Fengyun Division with 50,000 troops, Tian Zhongzhi Gongsun Yuan was still very happy to see it.

"Do you want to run? It's too late! Since you don't know whether you are here to provoke, then leave it all for your grandfather Tian Zhong! Ha Lu Ha!" Tian Zhong said with a smile, his eyes rushed with battle intent and killing intent.

"If you want to eat us, your appetite is not so good! we have to leave, you can't stop it!" Wei Tianquan sneered.

Under the leadership of Wei Tianquan and others, the battlefield continued to move towards the place where the Fengyun Division was stationed, and as time passed, Tian Zhong slowly became a little anxious.

Tian Zhong is not worried that the Fire Phoenix Legion will be defeated, what he is anxious about is that once Wei Tianquan and the others retreat to the control of the Fengyun Division, he will no longer be able to chase and kill, although he wants to kill the enemy, but he is not stupid, if he really chases into the lair of the Fengyun Division, I am afraid that his 50,000 people will be lost.

Soon, the battlefield moved to a place only thirteen or fourteen miles away from the station of the Fengyun Division, and in this short few miles, the Fengyun Division had paid the lives of more than 2,000 soldiers.

"Come on, go and block their retreat for Lao Tzu, today Lao Tzu wants to make none of them run away!" Tian Zhong yelled.

After receiving Tian Zhong's order, some soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Army began to outflank the past, wanting to block the way for the Fengyun Army to retreat.

"Hmph! want to block our back road, who blocks whose back road still doesn't know the way?" Jun Tian sneered.

Jun Tian's words made Tian Zhong a little uneasy, Tian Zhong frowned and said coldly: "What do you mean? Do you still think you can run away? This is naïve!"

"What do you mean, you'll soon find out!" Jun Tian sneered.

"Brothers, kill!"

As soon as Jun Tian's words fell, a large number of cavalry rushed out from both sides of the battlefield and came straight to the melee battlefield.

Seeing the Fengyun army rushing out, Tian Zhong's face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly ordered: "There is an ambush! Retreat!"

"It's only now that I think of retreating, isn't it a little late?" Wei Tianquan looked at his face, and Tian Zhong sneered.

"Brothers of the Fengyun Division, our reinforcements are here, and the time has come to avenge the dead brothers!

Wei Tianquan gave an order, and the Fengyun Army, which was retreating while fighting, immediately stopped and began to counterattack frantically, with the cooperation of these 50,000 reinforcements, the Fire Phoenix Army was defeated and retreated.

After 50,000 cavalry rushed to the battlefield, Long Hao flew away from his mount and rushed towards the wargroup besieging Tian Zhong.

With the addition of Long Hao, a new force, and Tian Zhong's unintentional love for the battle, the battle slowly moved back to a draw.

The battlefield moved again, but this time the direction of movement was no longer where the Fengyun Division was stationed, but instead of where the Fire Phoenix Legion was stationed.

Soon, the battlefield returned to the place where the two armies were fighting, and the Fengyun Division retreated and left more than 2,000 corpses in this distance, while the Fire Phoenix Legion retreated this distance and left nearly 10,000 lives.

It was also at this distance that the remaining men and horses of the Fire Phoenix Legion gradually broke away from the battlefield and began to retreat rapidly.

"You go first, I'll break the back!" Tian Zhong suddenly ordered the two Martial Emperors who were fighting against Zhou Yunlong.

Seeing that the army had left the battlefield, the two knew that their task of containment had been completed, so after striking a blow at Zhou Yunlong, they both turned around and chased after the army.

"You leave it for me!" Seeing Zhou Yunlong chasing the two, Tian Zhong attacked and blasted towards Zhou Yunlong, making Zhou Yunlong have to suddenly become in shape.

"Little rabbit cubs, today is only humiliating, I, Tian Zhong, remember, grandpa will definitely peel you and cramp in the future!" After stopping Zhou Yunlong, Tian Zhong also quickly gave Wei Tianquan and the three of them a strong attack, and then put down the cruel words and turned to chase after the army.

"The army stops pursuing! Retreat immediately!" Seeing that Tian Zhong had run away, Wei Tianquan and the others did not pursue again, but drank the chasing army and ordered to retreat.

"You retreat first, we'll break off!" Long Hao said to Wei Tianquan back on his mount.

Although Tian Zhong was defeated by them, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not counterattack while they were retreating, and it was not certain whether Gongsun Yuan had already sent reinforcements, so someone had to break the rear.

"Okay!" Wei Tianquan didn't hesitate, nodded, and then led his men to start a quick retreat.

"The army is slowly retreating, ready to fight at any time!" Long Hao ordered.

As soon as Wei Tianquan had evacuated for ten minutes, a scout rode in front of Long Hao, clasped his fists and said, "Report to Captain Long Hao, the reinforcements sent by the Fire Phoenix Legion battalion have already joined the defeated and fleeing Fire Phoenix Army, and they are now rushing towards our side." ”

"How many reinforcements are there, and how far are they from here?" Long Hao asked.

"There are 50,000 reinforcements, and there should be five miles to go!" replied the scout.

"Then they are destined to run in vain!" Zhou Yunlong sneered: "The whole army is advancing at full speed!"

Wei Tianquan didn't have the slightest bit of mud and water when he retreated, and he didn't even bother to clean up the battlefield, and only took away the wounded soldiers, so the speed of retreat was very fast, although it was only a short ten minutes, but they had already run a short distance.

Now that the army led by Wei Tianquan has been safe, then Long Hao's interception task has been completed, as for the chasing soldiers behind, Long Hao is not worried at all, his subordinates are all cavalry.

If Long Hao wanted to retreat, even if the pursuers of the Fire Phoenix Legion were all cavalry, it would be impossible to chase him, after all, there was still a distance of five miles between them.

This also means that the first encounter between the Fengyun Division and the Fire Phoenix Legion has ended like this, and both sides have suffered heavy losses, which can be said to be a draw.

Chasing to a place ten miles away from the station of the Fengyun Division, Tian Zhong did not dare to pursue again, and he could only withdraw his troops with an unwilling order.

"How about the casualties?" Gongsun Yuan said in a deep voice as he looked at Tian Zhong, who was kneeling on one knee, with a gloomy face.

"Nearly 13,000 people were killed in the battle, and nearly 20,000 were wounded!" Tian Zhong said ashamedly.

"More than 30,000 casualties in the first battle! Good! Very good!" Gongsun Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Commander, this is all the fault of his subordinates, if it weren't for his subordinates' greed to chase and kill them, they wouldn't have fallen into the ambush of the Fengyun Division. Please punish me, Legion Commander!" Tian Zhong bowed his head and said.

"You are indeed at fault, but the main responsibility for this battle is no longer yours, but me! It was I who underestimated Zhou Yunfeng and underestimated such an army formed by surrendering troops as the Fengyun Division!" Gongsun Yuan said in a deep voice.

Gongsun Yuan already felt that he had overestimated the Fengyun Division, but after today's battle, Gongsun Yuan realized that he still underestimated the Fengyun Division, and at this time he could already be sure that the combat effectiveness of the Fengyun Division was no longer under the other four major legions of the Congyun Empire.

"Although we suffered heavy casualties today, the Fengyun Division is no better, so Tian Zhong, you don't have to blame yourself too much, just remember today's humiliation. The battle between the Fire Phoenix Legion and the Fengyun Division has just begun, and there is a chance for you to take revenge, I hope you can make meritorious service and atone for your crimes!" Gongsun Yuan took a deep breath, calmed down, looked at Tian Zhong who was kneeling on the ground and said lightly.

"Thank you Commander for not forgiving, Tian Zhong will definitely make meritorious service to atone for his crimes!" Tian Zhong clenched his fists and shouted.

"Well, get up!" Gongsun Yuan nodded.

"Although we didn't take advantage of this battle, we didn't gain nothing, we figured out the situation of the Fengyun Division, which will have a great effect on our next battle. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles, now that we have a basic understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Fengyun Division, we will not let Zhou Yunfeng take advantage of it in the future!" Gongsun Yuan analyzed.
