Chapter 339: Retreat from the enemy

readx;?

I saw that Shangguan Xiu had an extra shield on his arm, and at the last moment, he blocked the spirit knife that the other party had slashed over. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The knife missed, and the spirit cultivator was about to retract the knife and attack again, when the shield on Shangguan Xiu's arm suddenly turned into silver threads, entangling the spirit knife of the spirit cultivator.

The spirit cultivator was horrified, and before he could react, Shangguan Xiu had already kicked him in the chest. This kick was strong, and the spirit armor on the cultivator's chest was kicked to pieces, and the fragments of the spirit armor flew out as far as they wanted.

Shangguan Xiu wanted to continue to kick, but the spirit cultivator swallowed the mouthful of old blood that came back from his chest, and then roared violently, picking up the spirit knife with all his hands.

At this time, Shangguan Xiu's informability still locked the opponent's spirit knife, and as the spirit cultivator picked up the spirit knife, Shangguan Xiu's body also flew into the air, and was swept in the air by the other party, turning around again and again.

"Get out!" the spirit cultivator let go of his hands with a loud roar, and Shangguan Xiu, who had been spinning in the air, flew straight out along with the spirit knife like a cannonball being shot out of the muzzle.

Shangguan Xiufei was in the air, not panicked, he retracted the invisible, and grabbed the opponent's spirit knife in his hand, when he flew out seven or eight meters away, his figure was unbelievably reflected, and the speed of shooting back was faster than when he was thrown out.

The spirit cultivator's eyes widened in disbelief, his face was dazed, he hadn't figured out what was going on, the reflected Shangguan Xiu had already swept past him, and with it, the spirit knife drew a long cold light in the air, flashing with the opponent's neck.

Shangguan Xiu stood still behind the spirit cultivator, a drop of blood slowly slid down the edge of the knife to the tip of the knife, and finally fell to the ground, and then looked at the spirit cultivator, the head fell, the headless corpse shook a few times, and fell to the ground with a pop.

Wind Shadow Duel! An unbelievable and unparalleled slash.

Shangguan Xiu turned around, and the essence light that flashed in the eagle's eyes seemed to turn into two knives, slowly sweeping over the surrounding Ningnan army.

"Huh?" The surrounding officers and soldiers of the Ningnan Army shouted in surprise, and involuntarily took a step back. Shangguan Xiu snorted coldly and walked forward.

"Kill!" several Ning Nan soldiers shouted and rushed towards him, several spears stabbing him in the chest. Shangguan Xiu did not retreat but advanced, and at the same time, the spirit knife swung horizontally, and a wind blade flew out, hitting several oncoming spears.

With a series of crisp sounds, the barrels of several spears were cut off by the wind blade, and several spear heads flew into the air, Shangguan Xiu swept the spirit knife that was swung out horizontally, and the blade slashed across the chests of several Ningnan soldiers, and several lines of blood spurted out, splashing Shangguan Xiu's face all over his body.

In the battle of the legion, a person's strength is too limited, no matter how strong his spiritual martial arts are, it is impossible to turn the entire battle situation alone, but a spiritual martial arts master like Shangguan Xiu, it is still not a matter of turning the tide of the battle in a local area, not to mention that there are also a large number of shadow banner personnel such as Duan Qiyue, Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei, etc. who rushed over with him.

The arrival of Shangguan Xiu and others was tantamount to a shot in the arm for the officers and men of the Sixth Corps, and the morale of the people was greatly boosted, their fighting spirit was high, and the whole camp was constantly pressing forward. At this time, the two corps of the Ningnan Army could only barely withstand the Sixth Corps.

This is just the tip of the battlefield. The battle between the Feng Army and the Ningnan Army has become fully intense, and the casualties on both sides are rising in a straight line. It was at this critical moment that the wind army in Gongcheng City was finally dispatched. Tens of thousands of wind troops poured out from the city of Gongcheng and went straight to the back of the Ningnan army to kill.

The Ningnan army had long expected that when they were fighting with the Feng Guozhen army, the Feng army trapped in Gongcheng City would take the opportunity to attack, and they were also prepared accordingly, leaving a total of four corps on both wings.

It's just that in the middle of the battle, Zhang Junran was forced to transfer the two corps behind the 15th Army to the front line, and at this time, only the two corps of the Seventh Army were left in the Ningnan Army to block the Central Army of the Wind Country.

Hu Chong guessed correctly, during this time, the Feng Army really collected more than 10,000 righteous troops in Gongcheng City, and now the Feng Army rushed out of the city, and the righteous army also killed it, and the Feng Army plus the Righteous Army had a total of 50,000 people, how could the two corps of the Ningnan Army be able to resist it?

In front of the two armies, the momentum of the righteous army was stronger than that of the wind army, and it was the righteous army that was the first to come into contact with the Ningnan army. The rebels who had not been trained by the regular army could not be the opponent of the Ningnan army, and as soon as the two sides met, the rebels were killed by the Ningnan army.

However, as the Central Army of the Wind Army joined the battle, the situation on the battlefield was immediately reversed, and the two corps of the Ningnan Army could not withstand the Wind Army of more than 30,000 people, and were forced to retreat again and again.

The current situation on the battlefield is the scene that the Ningnan army is most unwilling to face, being attacked by the wind army on both sides, and being attacked by the enemy on the back.

With the further intensification of the battle, the disadvantage of the Ningnan Army is getting bigger and bigger, and on the frontal battlefield, the Ningnan Army can't beat the morale of the Fengguo Zhenjun Army, and on the rear battlefield, the Ningnan Army can't withstand the all-out onslaught of the Fengguo Central Army, and the front and rear fronts are forced to compress inward.

Tong Yang, who was sitting in the Chinese army, could see it clearly, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly, there was no possibility for his side to win this battle, and if he fought like this, it was estimated that it would not take a few hours, and his two legions plus more than 30,000 local troops would have to be explained here.

He leaned over to Peng Huang's side and whispered, "My lord, there is no need for our army to fight hard in this battle, or, let's order the withdrawal of the army!"

When Peng Huang heard this, he turned his head to look at Tong Yang, and said with round eyes: "Withdraw the troops? No, in this battle, the officers and men of our army must not take half a step back except for fighting to the death!"

Of course, Tong Yang understood Peng Huang's concerns, and he said meaningfully: "My lord, the battle between the two armies is unpredictable, even if we lose this battle, it doesn't mean that we will still lose in the first battle, stay in Qingshan and don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as the soldiers are still there, and the brothers are still there, we will have the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, and ask for the shame we suffered today with all the benefits!" Speaking of this, he leaned towards Peng Huang's side again, and said in a low voice: " Don't forget, my lord, in Xiongzhen, do we still have any secret weapons to use, if we are wiped out here in Gongcheng, then the secret weapons hidden in Xiongzhen are likely to fall into the hands of the Feng Army, at that time, the imperial court's painstaking plans for many years will be in vain, this crime is greater than the sky, who can afford it?"

"This ...... This ......" was Tong Yang's words, Peng Huang's cold sweat flowed, although he was very jealous of Tong Yang's talent and was unwilling to adopt his opinion, but he had to admit that Tong Yang's analysis was reasonable at this time. Judging from the current situation, there is no other way for our side to go but to withdraw to Xiongzhen.

After thinking about it for a while, he looked up to the sky and sighed, waved his hand to call a herald, and ordered: "You go and send a message to Zhang Shuai immediately, our army has ...... in this battle It is difficult to win, and if we fight again, we are afraid that the whole army will be in danger of annihilation, so our two armies can retreat westward, bypass Gongcheng, and retreat to Xiongzhen. ”

"Yes, sir!" the herald agreed, took the order handed over by Peng Huang, and galloped away. After more than two hours of fighting between the two sides, the Ningnan army began to retreat westward, and the Zhenjun army and the central army of the Fengguo country did not give up, and pursued from the north and south.

The two sides were moving and fighting at the same time, and at this stage, the casualties on the side of the Feng army began to shrink considerably, and the casualties of the Ningnan army were further intensified. The Ningnan army retreated all the way, and there were still layers of corpses all the way, until the Ningnan army bypassed Gongcheng and withdrew more than 30 miles in one go, and the Feng army stopped pursuing.

The battle lasted for more than four hours from beginning to end, and in just four hours, the total casualties on both sides exceeded 100,000.

Among them, the Feng army suffered about 35,000 casualties, more than 10,000 killed, 8,000 seriously wounded, and more than 10,000 lightly wounded. The Ningnan army was even more miserable, with 60,000 casualties, more than 20,000 killed, more than 10,000 seriously wounded, and more than 20,000 minor wounded.

As far as the eye can see, the battlefield is full of corpses, the soldiers who have died on both sides of the enemy are stacked together, and some corpses are still holding each other tightly, and they can't pull apart.

Shangguan Xiu sat tiredly on a dirt bag, his hands on his knees, his fingers trembling suddenly, tired from a fierce battle, sweat dripping down his hair, jaws and the corners of his clothes.

He didn't remember how many enemies he had slashed in this battle, he only remembered that he had five spirit soldiers that he had smashed.

Looking around at the devastated battlefield, the violent aura of the Wind Sergeant in the battle had disappeared, and most of the people were searching for the corpses of their fallen soldiers on the battlefield with expressionless faces, and then gathered together one by one.

Due to the large number of soldiers killed in battle, the corpses of the wind army were arranged in several long rows, and each row was beyond the boundary. Beside the corpse, there were many wind soldiers kneeling, some crying, some silently wiping their tears.

Looking at his brothers who were crying bitterly, Shangguan Xiu didn't feel too much joy of victory, but a touch of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh softly, at this time he was also asking himself, he took the Zhenjun brothers to fight in Ningnan, and killed and injured so many people, whether it was right or wrong, and whether it was meaningful to fight this battle to the end.

He turned his eyes to look at Hu Chong on the side and asked, "General Hu, you say, can we win this battle?"

Hu Chong smiled when he heard this, bowed down and said, "My lord, we have already won." ”

"I'm talking about this battle between the Wind Country and Ningnan. ”

"This ...... The last general did not dare to speculate, but one thing is certain, our army has now the advantage, and then, the lord can wave his army to take Xiongzhen, fight Xiongzhen, and Zhongde County will be under the control of our army, and then our army will continue to the north, and can merge with His Majesty's army in Luolong County. Whether it is war or peace, my gale is in absolute initiative, this national war can be won a great victory, the merit of the adults, no one can compare, and the adults will also be rewarded by His Majesty in the future!" As he spoke, Hu Chong bowed his hand and bowed to the ground.
