This Ningnan Army, with a strength of 50,000 troops, was led by two main generals, one was the vanguard officer of the Seventh Army Corps, Chiheng, and the other was the vanguard officer of the Ninth Army Corps, Wuqiu. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
On the day that the Ningnan army arrived in Wanyuan Valley, it immediately launched a fierce attack on the south and north peaks of Wanyuan Valley. Chiheng mainly attacked the north peak, and Wuqiu attacked the south peak.
The battle between the two sides began from noon until evening, without interruption.
After this battle, the situation on the north peak was still relatively optimistic, and the defense line on the south peak side had begun to tighten, first, the casualties of the soldiers had increased rapidly, and second, the number of troops that could fight had decreased rapidly, and there were only 1,000 people left.
The 3,000 soldiers on the Nanfeng side have fought for so many days, and the total casualties are about 1,400, but there are more than 500 soldiers who have lost their combat effectiveness due to thirst and hunger.
On the fifth day, the soldiers of the Zhenjun Army led by Shang Guanxiu still couldn't wait for their main army. The Ningnan Army began to adjust its tactics, focusing on attacking and harassing the northern peak, concentrating superior forces, and making every effort to attack the southern peak, which was relatively easy to fight.
The battle reached this point, the soldiers of the Wind Army on the south peak, each of them lost a lot of weight, their eye sockets were deep-set, their faces were sallow, even the soldiers who could fight, they were shaking when they stood on the ground, and their armor and military uniforms were wandering around their bodies, as if they were all one size bigger.
The difficult conditions of this battle made Shangguan Xiudu almost fall into despair. There is no trace of the main army for a long time, and there is no information from the main army, which is tantamount to making people unable to see the slightest hope, Shangguan Xiu can't find a reason for his side to fight again, if you have to say a reason, then, it is to fight for your own survival.

Morning. The Ningnan army assembled on the hillside and lined up. Looking from the peak, the strength of the Ningnan Army is so large that it is impossible to see the edge at a glance, and the banners erected in the army are all over the mountains and fields, tearing the ground and the sky. Shangguan Xiu sat on the stone wall, lowered his head, silently watched the movements of the enemy army, and sighed silently in his heart.
He didn't know how to rely on his own more than 1,000 hungry brothers to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of Ningnan troops. Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei walked behind Shangguan Xiu, first looked at the mountain, and then at Shangguan Xiu, neither of them ignored the cracked skin on his lips.
The two have followed Shangguan Xiu for so long, and they have experienced countless big and small battles, but they have never seen Brother Xiu look like this. There was a tingling in the hearts of both of them. Xiao Jue said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Xiu...... Brother Xiu, let's break through, Wanyuan Valley, we really can't hold it. ”
Shangguan Xiu glanced back at him. I broke through, what should you do? I can use the spirit of armor to fly out of the Ten Thousand Abyss Valley, can you also use the spirit of armor to fly out? Now his throat and eyes are dry, as if he is on fire, and he doesn't want to say more nonsense. He just shook his head slightly, and didn't say a word.
But there was an unusual determination in his eyes. The look in his eyes is equivalent to telling Xiao Jue that he will persevere to the end, and will live and die with the soldiers, advancing and retreating together. Xiao Jue's heart was sour, tears almost burst out of his eyes, he sniffed hard, lowered his head to untie the water bladder from his waist, handed it to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "Brother Xiu, drink some water!"
Shangguan Xiu waved his hand, pushed away the water bladder he handed over, and only said softly: "You drink." ”
"Brother Xiu......"
Shangguan Xiu stopped looking at him, looked at the hillside, stuck out his tongue, and slowly licked his chapped lips.
Woowoo woo –
A long, loud trumpet sounded on the mountain, followed by the beating of war drums. On the top of the mountain, the soldiers who were sitting on the ground resting stood up one after another, swayed to the stone wall, and put poles of fire on it.
"If any of you still have projectile gunpowder, give me a little!" one of the soldiers asked weakly to his comrades on the left and right.
People shook their heads, either they had used up all their ammunition, or they had little left, and they didn't have enough for themselves, let alone enough to share with their companions. Shangguan Xiu, who was sitting on the stone wall, listened to the conversation of the soldiers and let out a sigh in his heart again.
He cleared his dry and smoking throat and said in a loud voice: "Since there is no ammunition, let us give up the firearms, and use bows, crossbows, swords, spears, and stones, as long as we still have a breath left, so that the enemy can fight to the death! As soldiers of the gale, we can die in front of the two armies, and we also die well, and we are worthy of the martyrs of the past dynasties who are worthy of the gale! I do not ask for the return of brocade clothes and jade, but I ask for the return of the horse leather shroud!"
Looking at Shangguan Xiu, who was standing up on the stone wall, his body seemed to be glowing in the reflection of the rising sun.
Out of nowhere, a wave of horizontal energy emerged from people's bodies, and they shouted in unison: "I will follow the adults to the death, and I don't ask for the return of the brocade clothes and jade, but I ask for the horse leather shroud to be returned!"
Shangguan Xiu lowered his head and looked around at everyone, waved his arm outward, unsheathed his saber, pointed the blade straight at the hillside, and shouted: "In the history of our Zhen army, it has always been called the army of tigers and wolves! But in the sky, how can there be tigers and wolves who have been starved to death? The food of our army is on the hillside, and we will take the initiative to send them to the door when we will wait for the meeting, eat them, drink their blood, eat their flesh, and fight to the death with the enemy!"
His words startled both Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei, and when he said this, it was tantamount to encouraging the soldiers to eat people.
Sadato did this before, but that was before the founding of the country, and the county was still the country of Sada, and for hundreds of years after the founding of the country, the Sadato had never done this. Cannibalism, how is it different from a wild beast?
If there is a little way, Shangguan Xiu will not let the soldiers do this, but he is really out of luck now, it is better to eat people than to be starved to death, as for morality, it is no longer important in the face of life and death.
The soldiers of the Zhenjun Army present were stunned for a while, and then the eyes of the people looking at the enemy troops on the hillside changed, and green light seemed to appear in their eyes.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The soldiers raised their weapons one after another and shouted in unison, and even those soldiers who were so hungry that they couldn't move seemed to smell the smell of meat, and they staggered to their feet one by one, staring at their hungry blue eyes, and walked over step by step like walking corpses.
The offensive of the Ningnan army finally began.
This time, the attack of the Ningnan Army did not advance in formation, and there were no heavy shield soldiers in the front row to hold down the position, and the soldiers all went into battle lightly, that is, relying on the tactics of the sea of people, they had to charge upwards with all their strength at the fastest speed, and take Nanfeng in one go.
As the ferocious offensive of the Ningnan army was in full swing, the Feng army immediately returned fire. Firebolts, arrows, arrows, and crossbow arrows flew from the top of the mountain, and large and small gravels continued to fall.
However, the charging Ningnan army was shot and killed one by one, and more Ningnan troops immediately filled up, and tens of thousands of troops, one after another, completely ignored the casualties.
In such a ferocious offensive, the wind army, which is less than 2,000 people, really can't resist it. The soldiers of the Ningnan Army stepped on the corpses of their comrades all the way, and attacked the top of the mountain to start hand-to-hand combat with the Feng army.
Shangguan Xiu snorted and fought with a knife. Between the swings of the spirit knife, several Ningnan soldiers who were attacking onward rolled on their backs. At this moment, the ground under his feet suddenly shook, and one after another crust popped out of the ground and shot at him.
He took a deep breath, his body soared into the air, and the spirit knife slashed at him, and the spirit chaos was cast, and he used the wind blade to crush the earthen cones that shot one by one.
The broken earth did not scatter to the ground, but continued to rise, condensed from the top of Shangguan Xiu's head, turned into a large ball of earth, and smashed down on the top of Shangguan Xiu's head.
Shangguan Xiu parried with a horizontal knife.
His body in mid-air was smashed to the ground, dust, stone chips splattered everywhere, and a large pit more than two meters wide appeared on the ground. Looking at Shangguan Xiu again, he was kneeling on one knee in the pit, and the spirit knife in his hand fell to the ground.
With two soft clicks, the crack extended from the spirit armor above his head, and with a snap, the spirit armor on his head shattered into several pieces and scattered, silver hair flashed and flew in the wind.
The one who hit him with a great earthquake just now was none other than the vanguard officer of the Ninth Legion, Wu Qiu.
Seeing Shangguan Xiu's silver hair, and then seeing his facial features clearly, Wu Qiu immediately recognized him.
He laughed and said, "Who am I, it turned out to be Shangguan Dog Thief, today is your death!" While speaking, he picked up a spirit hammer with both hands and pounced on Shangguan Xiu, but before the person arrived, the hammer came first, and smashed the top of Shangguan Xiu's head viciously.
Shangguan Xiu raised the spirit knife and took his hammer hard.
Shangguan Xiu's figure, which was originally squatting and kneeling in the pit, was forced to fly out. Wu Qiu was unforgiving, and chased forward with an arrow, and with another hammer, he slammed into the top of Shangguan Xiu's head. The latter is again cross-cut and hard-wired.
His body was knocked to the ground, and he slid backwards for several meters before stopping, leaving a shocking chasm in the ground.
Seeing that Shangguan Xiu was already at the end of his crossbow, Wu Qiu was overjoyed, Shangguan Xiu, who was so powerful, so evil, and so hated by His Majesty, would die in his own hands today, what a great credit for this?
Thinking of this in his heart, he was so excited that his face trembled suddenly, and he raised the hammer with both hands to catch up with Shangguan Xiu, who fell to the ground, and used all his strength to smash the hammer without reservation.
The so-called happiness gives birth to sorrow, that's it. Wu Qiu was so excited now that he forgot that Shangguan Xiu was a top-level spirit martial arts master who could fight with Jun Qihan, even if the fierce battles in the past few days had consumed a lot of his aura and physical strength, but the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, how could Shangguan Xiu be so easy to kill?
He smashed it with such a powerful hammer, smashing Shangguan Xiu away, and there was not even a piece of minced meat on the ground, when he was surprised in his heart, he suddenly heard a sneer from his side: "The light of fireflies, dare to compete with Haoyue?!"
"Huh?" Wu Qiu was shocked, instinctively screamed, and hurriedly turned his head to look, but did not see Shangguan Xiu, only a big hand that grabbed it.
