C863

Encouraged by Lei Zhen, the Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army went back to the city and engaged in an intense battle with the Chastity Army.

At this time, everyone was already risking their lives, recklessly charging forward. As the saying goes, one person is dead, ten people are not a match for him, his Feng Army was at least tens of thousands of soldiers were fighting with their lives, and his imposing manner was also terrifying.

They had already captured the walls of the Wan City, which was tantamount to destroying the defense of the Feng Army. With victory in sight, the people's hearts were filled with joy, and at this time, the Feng Army suddenly launched a fierce counterattack, catching the Chastity Army by surprise.

Especially Lei Zhen, the leader of the group, the heavenly Battle Halberd. With its swishing noise, the soldiers who were blocking his path threw themselves into the pool of blood one after another. With Lei Zhen's leading Feng Army following the steps of the city wall, they carved a path of blood and returned to the city wall, engaging the Chastity Army in close combat.

In the blink of an eye, the Feng Army that was just destroyed turned into a ferocious tiger warrior. The Chastity Army soldiers could not understand what was going on and as the Feng Army got more and more valiant, the Chastity Army that ascended to the top of the city gradually found it difficult to resist and was forced to retreat.

Zhen Jun only retreated a little, but this was equivalent to giving a shot at the Feng Army. So it turned out that Zhen Jun was not invincible, and could still be defeated. The fighting spirit of Feng Army was completely ignited, and the people roared and roared as they rushed forward to kill. A large number of soldiers of the Chastity Army fell under the blade of Feng Army, and some of them were forcefully pushed down from the city walls and fell below the city walls while screaming.

Xun Xiao saw that the situation was not good, and anxiously separated from the rest of the group to be at the front. When he just appeared, Lei Zhen was already there. Xun Xiao was startled at first, but then smiled merrily and said: "I didn't throw you to death just now, let's see where you can run to this time?!" As he spoke, he raised the Heaven Splitting Axe high up in the air, as if he was about to chop down.

He had not made his move yet, but Lei Zhen had made the first move. Furthermore, he had used his trump card, the Thousand Blade Meteor Slash.

As the enemies were all enemies, Lei Zhen did not hesitate to unleash his skills with his full strength. Immediately after, a seven to eight foot tall gigantic Spirit Blade appeared, slashing across the stone tiles on the ground, causing them to crack and sending stone chips flying everywhere, at the same time accompanied by a hair-raising whistling sound.

Xun Xiao was shocked by the incoming Thousand Blade Meteor Slash. In his haste, without time to think, he subconsciously used Extreme Mirror to counter it.

The two top-grade Spirit Martial Skills struck the city wall, following a loud bang, the gigantic Spirit Blade that Lei Zhen released shattered and turned into countless small Spirit Blade that fluttered in the sky. They clashed with the Spirit Blade that was born from Spirit Chaos and some of them cancelled each other out, but there was still a portion of the Spirit Blade that managed to pass through Spirit Chaos and flew straight towards Xun Xiao.

Aiya! Xun Xiao cried out in his heart. Had his [Spiritual Chaos] failed to block the opponent's skill?! Seeing the Spirit Blade flying over, it was already too late to block if he wanted to. Xun Xiao was helpless, and could only block horizontally. He had dodged the Spirit Blade, but he himself had fallen off the wall and out of the city.

Plop!

Xun Xiao's huge body dropped onto the ground, releasing a low and heavy sound, the force of the fall nearly scattered all the bones in his body, causing him to take two deep breaths, before he struggled to stand up, looking at Lei Zhen who was on top of the city walls, he roared, and looked around for a ladder to the clouds, wanting to fight his opponent once again.

At the same time, Wu Mei, who was on the City Gate Tower, also saw that the Feng Army had returned to the top of the city. Her spirit was shaken, covered her spirit armor, and with sword in hand, she descended the City Gate Tower, leading the guards to charge out.

In front of them was Feng Army, behind them was Feng Army, and on top of this section of city wall, the Chastity Army was completely in disarray, people were pushing each other, and countless people fell down from the sky. Xun Xiao who was at the bottom of the city had just found a ladder to the clouds, and only climbed halfway up the ladder, before being forcibly smashed down using the rolling wood and stone slabs to occupy the city walls once again.

He was so angry that he shouted over and over again. Before he could continue to climb, arrows rained down from above, landing on his spirit armor with clanking sounds.

Xun Xiao who had such a deep cultivation could not even withstand the powerful arrow that shot down from above. The arrow struck his spirit armor, forcing him to retreat step by step.

Under the sharp counterattack of the Feng Army, the Chastity Army on the city wall could not resist at all. Large numbers of soldiers either died in battle or were forced off the city wall. With Lei Zhen in the lead, the two of them rushed to the front of the City Gate Tower in one go, and gathered together at the same place.

Lei Zhen had never seen Wu Mei with his spirit armor on, nor did he recognize her. It was only when Wu Mei spoke that Lei Zhen realised that the red armored general in front of him was his wife. He hastily interposed himself, saluted, and panted for breath as he said, "This general arrived late to save you, and has startled Madam!"

Seeing the current Lei Zhen, Wu Mei's eyes reddened and tears almost fell. Lei Zhen's entire body was covered in blood, the spirit armor's original color was completely covered in blood, moreover his body was also riddled with wounds, many of the spirit armor had already been broken and fell off, he was in an extremely sorry state.

"General Lei, don't say it like that. If you hadn't led your troops to kill them in time, I'm afraid that I would have been able to self-determination within the City Gate Tower."

Lei Zhen sighed in his heart, if that was the case, then he would not have the face to see the King anymore! He gasped for breath, raised his head to look at the wall on the other side of the City Gate Tower, and grabbed onto the Heavenly Battle Halberd, saying: "Madam, there are still enemy troops on the walls, I will retreat!" With that said, he turned his head to look at Generals And Soldiers and roared: "Brothers, follow me and kill the enemy!"

"Kill ?"

Right now, the confidence in Feng Army was growing, the morale was increasing, the people were shouting together, following Lei Zhen and attacking the city wall on the other side.

In the process of this assault, the Chastity Army had attacked the city walls several times, but had been counterattacked and succeeded by the Feng Army several times. The competition for the walls between the two sides had reached its peak and at the end of the battle, the casualties of the two armies were so great that it was hard to count. Within the city walls, corpses were piled up like a mountain.

At this point in time, regardless of whether it was the Feng Army or the Chastity Army, they had all suffered heavy casualties. The soldiers were exhausted. Furthermore, with the sky gradually darkening, he gave the order for the entire army to stop their attacks and return to the camp.

The Chastity Army had never set up camp outside of Wan City City because they firmly believed that one day was enough time to take over the Wan City. They did not expect the defending forces of Wan City to resist so tenaciously, and did not allow their side to enter the city at all.

The retreating Chastity Army was so tired that they could not even walk properly, but even so, they still had to set up camp before they could rest.

After the battle ended, both sides took advantage of this time to take a break while they counted their casualties.

In the first day of the war, not to mention light injuries, only twenty-three thousand soldiers were severely injured and killed on the first day. The Feng Army s were over twenty thousand and the Chastity Army was over twenty thousand.1

The ratio of casualties was close to one to one on both sides. As the attacking side, it was completely acceptable. However, since the Chastity Army entered the wind to fight, they were able to attack without any resistance. This was the first time they suffered a setback.

The first day, they barely managed to block the attacks of the Chastity Army, but Wu Mei, Zong Yuan and the others were not happy. They knew clearly in their hearts that in the battle tomorrow, with their current strength, it would be difficult for them to resist the attacks of the Chastity Army.

After the Chastity Army retreated, Feng Army began to sweep the battlefield, directly throwing the corpses of the Chastity Army outside the city while Generals And Soldiers of Self Army's corpses were collected inside the city.

At this moment, the stone bricks on the wall were no longer gray. Instead, they had turned into a dark brown color, the color of solidified blood.

Wu Mei inspected the city walls, her brows knitted together tightly. Whether or not they were going to continue fighting, whether or not their Wan City were still going to be maintained, her heart was also wavering. As long as there was a way out, Wu Mei would unhesitatingly choose to give up. But the problem was, there was no retreat, and after leaving the Wan City, the next step would be Yan City, which was much larger than the Wan City, and was easier for the enemy to attack. It was not something that could be defended against with twenty to thirty thousand people.

Looking at how preoccupied Wu Mei was, Lei Zhen had an indescribable feeling in her heart, which was admiration and a feeling of heartache. He admired Wu Mei's determination in the battlefield and how she remained calm despite facing imminent danger, but the heavy burden of guarding the capital and resisting strong enemies had all fallen onto a woman.

Lei Zhen took off the cloak on his back, handed it over to Wu Mei, and said in a low voice: "Madam, it's too cold tonight, be careful not to catch a cold."

Wu Mei did not accept it. The weather was very cold but her heart was burning with anxiety. She said faintly, "I just received news that the Tong Gate army will be split into a hundred thousand troops, and we'll go to the capital to rescue them."

Lei Zhen's eyes lit up, this was a good thing!

Seeing through his thoughts, Wu Mei revealed a bitter smile and continued: "However, the army will only be able to reach the capital after ten days."

Lei Zhen's originally excited mood instantly fell to the bottom, ten days?! With their current military strength, how could they resist the enemy for ten days? Ten days later, without Wan City, perhaps even the capital city is gone, what use would the Tong Gate Army have left after returning?

He lowered his head, silent.

Wu Mei sighed lightly and said: "General Lei, you have been through a tough battle this entire day. You should go and rest early!"

Lei Zhen shook his head and said: "Madam, this general is not tired!" After a moment, he took two steps forward, approached Wu Mei, and lowered his voice as he asked. "Madam, we ? Do we still need to hold on to our Wan City? "

What could they do if they didn't persist? Wu Mei gazed outside the city and muttered: "When we left the capital, I had already said that I would vow to live and die with my Wan City!"

Lei Zhen was startled, he understood what Wu Mei meant, his expression turned serious, he pulled himself together and bowed while interfering: "I swear to follow Madam around, we will fight together against the strong enemy!"

Wu Mei was overjoyed. To be able to discover this talent of Lei Zhen, it could be said to be her greatest gain from entering the Wan City. It was just that she did not know whether they would still be able to leave the Wan City alive.

When Wu Mei turned his head to look at him, she only saw Zong Yuan facing the sky, and she did not know what he was looking at. Wu Mei also raised her head and looked towards the sky. The night sky was pitch black and one could not see a single star. She asked: "Master Zong, what are you thinking about?"
