Zhangsun Yuanhong almost died under Tang Yin's Fire of Darkness, with his body heavily injured, he was carried back to the Ning Army Camp by his subordinates. Although he was powerless to continue fighting, his mind was still clear. With a pale face, he looked around and asked weakly: "Have Wei Zheng's reinforcements come over yet?"
"Will... General! It was reported that Wei Zheng was still in the main camp outside the Qingyuan City, and had not moved! " A deputy general carefully replied.
Hearing this, Zhangsun Yuanhong's face became even more pale. He painfully closed his eyes, and faintly said: "Wei Zheng harmed me!" After he finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, and then said: "The valley has been sealed by my army, so we cannot spread the news of the situation inside or the Feng Army outside. Otherwise, the entire situation will be under attack, and our army will be in danger!"
Zhangsun Yuanhong was already injured to such an extent, yet he did not care about his own life or death at all. He was actually still thinking about the war and the soldiers in the army, how could the people not be moved?
Seeing that everyone's eyes were red, and their faces flushed red, Zhangsun Yuanhong grinned, and gasped for breath: What are you all sad about? A small wound wouldn't be enough to take my life. But Tang Yin is cunning and plotted against me, this time I was too careless, wait for the next time, I ? "Cough, cough ?" Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but cough violently.
All the generals around were so frightened that they hastily gathered around and shouted: "Call the military doctor! Quick, call the military doctor! "
Zhangsun Yuanhong's consciousness started to become fuzzy. Before he fell asleep, he said intermittently, "Valley ? is the focus of the war... Do not kill Tang Yin... Our army is in danger ? Do not kill Tang Yin... your Ning Country is at risk ? "
When the doctors from the Ning Country arrived, Zhangsun Yuanhong was already unconscious. When they saw the wound on the back of his waist, they all gasped, and the burning of the two flames into his body was no longer a matter of how painful it was, but rather how impossible a person would be alive. If not for the fact that Zhangsun Yuanhong's cultivation was too profound, that he used his Spirit Qi to protect his internal organs and all the vital points of his body, any other person would have died long ago.
Everyone understood that paper could not contain fire. Sooner or later, Feng Army would find out about the matter of the general being injured, and that it was necessary to break into the valley during this period of time to capture Tang Yin. After Zhangsun Yuanhong was injured, the attacks of the Ning Army on the valley became fiercer.
In the following battles, Tang Yin's side had become even more difficult.
On the day that Zhangsun Yuanhong was injured, all the way until the afternoon of the second day, Ning Jun Wu You's attacks never stopped.
The tidewaters of the Ning Army poured into the canyon wave after wave. Soon after, the Yue Army that was not used to the battlefield joined in as they coordinated with the Ning Army to attack. Hammer personally supervised the battle. He even divided the Vietnamese soldiers into five groups and tied them together with a long rope. The five of them advanced and retreated together. They either killed the enemy or died on the battlefield. If they dared to retreat, all five of them would be executed.
Under this kind of barbaric and cruel military punishment, the soldiers of the Vietnamese Army fought with all their might. Every single one of them bravely charged forward. The momentum of the Vietnamese Army affected the Ning Army, causing their morale to rise greatly.
The enemy's sea of people tactics made Tang Yin's side retreat continuously. Usually, when the people behind had just finished setting up the wall, the brothers who were fighting ahead of them could not hold on and were forced to retreat.
The front line of the fierce battle between the two sides was also pushed from the canyon center all the way to the end of the canyon. Reaching here, Feng Army already had no way out, if he retreated any further, he would have to retreat into the open valley. Losing the narrow space to act as a barrier, how could Feng Army withstand the attacks of so many enemies?
This desperate battle had caused Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army to unleash all of his potential. The battle between the two sides at the end of the canyon could no longer be described as intense. It was tragic and tragic.
Tang Yin and his subordinates all went up the wall to fight. Wave after wave of enemy soldiers were killed down the mountain of corpses, and at the same time, Feng Soldier was occasionally cut down and fell to the ground, or forcibly torn off by others.
Countless swords and sabers chopped down on the bodies of the fallen heavily armored cavaliers s, even their heavy armor became deformed. Blood gushed out from the gaps in their armor and some of their armor were forcibly torn off by the enemy, causing the Feng Army s that had lost their armor to climb up from the ground and continue to fight. Once the swords in their hands were cut off, they would use their fists and teeth to tear at the enemy, ultimately dying to the innumerable Ning army and the Yue army.
The battle continued on endlessly. The people on both sides had already forgotten the existence of time. The only thing that remained in their minds was slaughter. The ground in the latter half of the canyon was no longer visible. Corpses were strewn all over the ground, and blood had already gathered in the potholes to form red bubbles.
Especially on the side of the Feng Army, the weapons in everyone's hands could not be found intact. The spearheads had already been ground flat, the swords and sabers had been cut off, and many soldiers took out all their arrows from their quivers and used them as weapons. Fortunately, the soldiers of the two armies in Ning Yue were also exhausted. Their attacks were not as fierce as before, and the fighting between them had become weak. Compared to yesterday's lively performance, today's battle was more like a slow motion.
At this time, even Tang Yin could not take it anymore, he had already exhausted all of his energy, and felt that his heart was about to burst out of his chest, causing him to feel hot in his throat, as though he would vomit blood at any time. However, he had no other choice. He could only grit his teeth and continue fighting. He knew very well that the moment he stepped onto the battlefield, the brothers below him would no longer have a last sliver of hope.
Thus, he could only fight. Tang Yin reckoned that if today, the attacks of the Ning Army were to continue without interruption, and if they continued to fight with their lives on the line, their side would definitely not be able to defend, and their defense line would be broken through sooner or later. However, what made Tang Yin and his subordinates heave a sigh of relief was that the allied army of Ning Yue had retreated.
The retreat of Ning Yue's two armies wasn't because the losses were too heavy, but because the Feng Army at the north and south sides had begun attacking the camp at this time.
However, they might have heard the sounds of battle coming from within the canyon, and could guess that Tang Yin's group fighting with fewer people, making the situation more and more precarious. In order to alleviate the pressure on Tang Yin and the rest, Feng Army's attack clearly knew that it was not an intelligent move, but it still took the initiative to attack.
Feng Army didn't know that Zhangsun Yuanhong was severely injured, so he attacked carefully, mainly to restrict and prevent the Ning Yue army from attacking Tang Yin with all of their power. Regardless of whether the Feng Army's attack was fierce or weak, there were still more than two hundred thousand people. With the pincer position from the north and the pincer position from the south, Ning Yue's two armies did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
The Feng Army advanced fifty steps away from the place where the Ning Army Camp was located and stopped moving forward. They laid down their Shield Array on the ground, and started to fight with the Ning Army inside the camp. The Feng Army side was also worried that if Zhangsun Yuanhong were to attack until he was close to the Peace Camp and suddenly rush out, their side would not have anyone who could be a match for him.
They did not launch a head-on attack, but rather followed the intentions of the allied forces of Ning Yue. Both sides were inside the camp and outside the camp, firing back and forth at each other, but neither of them could kill the other.
This kind of fight was not beneficial to both sides, but Tang Yin, who was in the canyon, was the one to reap the benefits.
This gave Tang Yin and his subordinates a rare time to rest. Everyone took advantage of this free time to bandage their wounds, eat and rest, and recuperate to their heart's content. Right now, Tang Yin's guards had basically all been taken care of, and the heavy armored cavalry soldiers were only left with around three hundred people, and a majority of them were injured.
To the injured soldiers, they could only wrap the wounds with rough strips of cloth. In addition, the army had already finished all the rations, and Tang Yin's dead horses, which had been prepared beforehand, were showing their effects, allowing people to eat horse meat. There was not a single blade of grass left in the valley. Since they couldn't find dry firewood, the people took off the clothes from the corpses of Ning Yue's soldiers, lighting them up to make barbecue. The eating aspect was easy to solve, but the lack of water was too hard to bear. There was no water source in the Death Valley, what was even worse was that the warm and rainy Hedong had not had a single rain in the past few days. After a long period of fighting, no one knew how much sweat people had poured out, and no one was able to replenish their sweat for a long time.
Now that there was not a single drop of water left in the Feng Army, everyone's mouth were parched and their lips exploded. Tang Yin frowned. If this goes on, even without the enemies attacking them, they would all die of thirst because of thirst.2
With no other choice, Tang Yin could only give the order to kill their warhorses and use their blood to quench his thirst.
In that era of cold weapons, war horses were one of the most precious war resources. Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one would be willing to kill a war horse. Right now, Tang Yin and the others were truly in dire straits, so much so that they could only drink horse blood. At first, people only killed Wind Horses, but a horse's blood was only enough for 10 or so soldiers to drink. Very quickly, the Wind Horses were all killed, and following that, Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army could only shift his gaze to the even more precious Pabuma.
To the heavy armored cavalry, the Pabuma was their other half of life. After losing the Pabuma, they lost all meaning of their existence. Every time they killed a horse, the soldiers' hearts would be cut by a knife.
The Feng Army was struggling to hold on, and the main force of the Ning Yue Army was also tightly held back by the Feng Army outside the camp.
In the blink of an eye, another five days passed. In these five days, Ning Yue Army did not make a single decent attack on Tang Yin's group in the canyon, but only occasionally sent a small group of people to harass them. On the sixth day, the situation in the battlefield had undergone a tremendous change.
