The casualties became more and more serious, but the attacks of Pingyuan Army were actually more and more ferocious. The soldiers, who were wearing the same robes as the mountain, rushed to the wall of the stronghold and started to fight with the Ning Army. Their weapons were broken, their fists and kicks were broken, and their teeth were broken.
Seeing that, Wei Zheng anxiously formed a counterattack with his army and gave the order to attack. No matter what, he had to take back the wall and throw Feng Army out.
In front of Wei Zheng's strict orders, the Ning army reassembled themselves and began to counterattack the wall.
It would be easy for Ning Jun to retreat, but it would be difficult for him to attack back.
The Pingyuan Army occupied the wall of the stronghold, and as they looked down from above, they struck towards the face of the Ning Army's recoil.
In the end, they were all repelled by the Pingyuan Army and were torn to pieces until the very end. Then, with bloodshot eyes, the Pingyuan Army rushed down from the sky and directly confronted the opponent in the Ning Camp.
Having lost the advantage of land, Ning Army simply could not block the Pingyuan Army which was like a fierce tiger charging down the mountain. The soldiers in front fell down in rows after rows, the whole camp continuously being pushed back.
The more they fought, the more powerful the Feng Army became. The soldiers in front of them were covered in blood, it was not clear whether they were their own or the enemy's, many of them even still had Steel Sword s, pikes, arrows, they had all used up their energy, their lives reaching their limit, but they could not rely on their willpower alone to continue fighting, and chase down the enemies in front of them.
Such an army, not only would the Ning army be afraid, even the entire army would be trembling in fear.
Wei Zheng watched as his soldiers were killed by the Pingyuan Army and called out to their mothers and fathers, and were completely defeated. He hurriedly sent out his supervising army and shot and killed all the retreating Generals And Soldiers of Self Army.
In his moment of passivity, Wei Zheng's Iron Bowl Military Code had the effect of stabilizing the morale. Generals And Soldiers of Ning Army was afraid of Feng Army, but he was more afraid of the supervising army behind them.
Following the appearance of the supervising army and their heavy killing intent, the terrified and maddened Ning Jun completely went into a crazed state, fiercely retaliating against the Feng Army.
Ning Jun's counterattack had caught Pingyuan Army somewhat unprepared, forcing the soldiers who had pushed their way into the camp to be forcibly pushed back onto the walls of the stronghold.
After that, without caring about the danger, Xiao Muqing personally climbed up the wall and ordered the entire army to fight.
The battle had now completely turned into a head-on confrontation. There were no hidden tricks, and it all depended on one's true strength.
On the battlefield, row after row of soldiers from both sides fell. If you die one thousand times, I'll die eight hundred times. The corpses on the ground were paved with layer after layer of blood stained the entire Ning Army Camp red.
Right now, it was extremely difficult for Feng Army to push forward every single step. They had to step on the corpses of countless of their comrades and enemies. As the two sides clashed, Xiao Muqing once again used his own death squads.
This group of Generals And Soldiers of Pingyuan Army did not have many people, only 2000 people, all dressed in light clothing, their upper bodies bare. One hand holding a blade and the other holding a shield, they passed through the crowd of Generals And Soldiers of Self Army and entered the side of the Ning army.
The two thousand men who dared to die charged into the Ning Army like tigers into a pack of wolves. They chopped down anyone they saw and killed every single one they saw. In the blink of an eye, two thousand men turned into red men.
Under their barbaric, crazed, and suicidal assault, the originally organized Ning Army Camp was thrown into chaos. Since they had no other choice, the Ning Army could only gather their forces to deal with the recent Pingyuan Army death squads, and as a result, the entire formation became even more chaotic.
In the end, they had all died under the chaotic blade attacks of the Ning Army. However, by relying on their restraints, the Feng Army was able to push the soldiers of the Ning Army more than thirty meters away, giving them enough space to fight their way in.
Wei Zheng, who was supervising the battle, was already sweating profusely. He couldn't understand why the fighting strength of Pingyuan Army was so strong, and he couldn't help but suspect if the soldiers who made up the Pingyuan Army were still human beings. If someone were to stand out and say that the Pingyuan Army was a group of demons and monsters, he would definitely raise both his hands in support.
Although the opponent had already lost tens of thousands of men, and their side still had over a hundred thousand, looking at the situation on the battlefield, he could still determine that their side would be defeated. With no other way, he could only mobilize all of the other soldiers of the Ning Army from other parts of the camp to block Pingyuan Army's charge.
Following this, another fifty thousand soldiers of the Ning Army rushed over. Their total military strength had already reached two hundred thousand, but even so, the Ning Army did not have the upper hand.
Just as Wei Zheng was thinking about how to defeat the enemy, a scout suddenly came to report. A Feng Army appeared in the north and west side of the main camp, with an unknown number of people, they were charging towards the main camp at full speed.
Hearing this, Wei Zheng's head buzzed, and he almost fell to the ground on the spot. The South Camp that he had just gathered up all the warriors in the entire camp, and had also caused the northern and western battalions to be attacked by the Feng Army, where did the Feng Army come from? What should he do?
It was not that he was incompetent, or that he had misdirected it. It was just that the battle of Pingyuan Army was too fierce, and not something that the hundred thousand or two hundred thousand Ning Army could handle.
He didn't have time to think about it too much. The lives of more than two hundred thousand soldiers were all tied to a single thought on his part. Wei Zheng made his judgement in the shortest amount of time. This battle could no longer be fought, if the Feng Army broke through from the northern and western camps, their entire army would be annihilated. He made a prompt decision and ordered the entire army to retreat, returning to the inner camp.
Ning Jun's main camp was divided into the inner and outer camps. The inner camps weren't big. The two hundred thousand soldiers of the Ning Jun Army had to retreat into the inner camps. Even the tents inside had to be torn down to make space. Of course, Wei Zheng did not plan to defend the camp anymore. As long as the enemies didn't die, they would have a chance to retaliate.
Under Wei Zheng's control, the Ning Army retreated back into the inner camp one by one. With 200,000 people squeezed into the small camp, it was difficult to even find a gap in between. Wei Zheng did not stop for a moment, and immediately passed down an order, the entire army boarded the warships, followed the southern side of the river, and first escaped from Feng Army's attack range.
On land, Ning Jun'er was unable to defeat Feng Army, nor could she outrun it. However, on water, Wei Zheng was full of confidence.2
Two hundred thousand people were not able to board the ship in a short period of time. The fifty thousand soldiers of the Ning Army were guarding the inner camp's defensive wall, giving their comrades as much time as possible to create an escape route.
However, the Pingyuan Army that rushed into the Ning Army Camp quickly found a large scale offensive weapon within the camp ? ? City-breaking Crossbow s, Army-broking Crossbow s, Trebuchet s, etc.
Pingyuan Army gathered all the weapons that were just used against him in one place, and then used them to attack the Ning Army's inner camp.
The walls of the camp were not tougher than city walls, how could they withstand the attacks of City-breaking Crossbow s, Army-broking Crossbow s and Trebuchet.
The crossbow arrow pierced through the wall of the stronghold, killing Ning Jun at the back, while the Trebuchet threw the giant boulder into the camp, smashing it into Ning Jun who was inside.
There were too many soldiers of the Ning Army, and they were all crowded together. They could only watch as huge rocks fell from the sky above them, but they had no way of dodging them. In an instant, screams of agony could be heard from all over the camp as the Generals And Soldiers of Ning Army s were smashed into mincemeat.
Xiao Muqing did not know what was going on inside the camp, but hearing the movements inside, he could roughly guess what was going on. At this time, he no longer ordered his soldiers to attack the inner camp forcefully, increasing the number of casualties on his side. Instead, he ordered all his soldiers to release arrows into the inner camp.
The number of crossbow arrows and boulders Wei Zheng had left behind for his were too many for his to use. Under the continuous barrage of the crossbow arrows, the walls of the stronghold were already riddled with holes, and Ning Jun who was nailed to the inside of the stronghold were innumerable, one after another, Pingyuan Army Arrow Rain s fell into the stronghold, the sounds of the arrows piercing through the steel and armor of the Steel Armor could not be stopped. Worse of all, the giant stones thrown in by the Trebuchet were not able to defend itself, they could not be blocked.
Throughout the entire battle, Wei Zheng's only proper command would be to hastily retreat into the inner camp. This also proved that Xiao Muqing's strategy was correct, using his tenacious fighting strength and strong willpower to oppress his opponent, making his opponent make mistakes on their own.
When the Ning Army took the ship and left the camp, they would look at the inner camp. Corpses were everywhere, a mountain was piled up, and blood would gather and flow to the riverbank, dyeing the banks of the Zhan river red for miles...
If one were to count the casualties on both sides, they would not be able to tell who had won. The number of deaths and injuries on both sides exceeded fifty thousand, and the number of deaths and injuries on the Ning Army exceeded more than fifty thousand, so it seemed that both sides were on par with each other. However, the Pingyuan Army had successfully captured the western camp, and in one fell swoop, it opened the eastern gate of the Ning Country.
Wei Zheng escaped south on the boat, in the end, he had only travelled ten miles, and coincidentally met the Directly Subordinate Army which had already passed the Zhang River, at that time, Tang Yin already obtained the battle report from the Sky Eye and Earth Web, so the knowledge that Wei Zheng knew was inferior to him, to an enemy that was right under his nose, how could Tang Yin possibly let this opportunity go?
He ordered the Generals And Soldiers of Self Army to hold all the captives taken by the Ning Army and stop them in the middle of the river to intercept Wei Zheng and the rest. Of course, it was impossible for these decapitated battleships to stop Wei Zheng's hundreds of ships. Tang Yin's intention was very simple as well.
