Seeing that Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country had given up on attacking the city, and had retreated to save the camp, Zuo Shuang did not dare delay any further, and immediately gave the order, the entire army retreated, returning to Gaochuan County.

How could Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country who was so flustered and exasperated be willing to let them go, the two armies' troops immediately followed suit to kill them.

However, the Xijing Army did not penetrate deep into the Enemy's Camp, hence they retreated quickly. Under Zuo Shuang's command, the troops at the back formed a line and started to retreat.

The horses of Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country were the first to leave the camp. Initially, they thought they could use the attacks of the cavalry to disperse the Feng Army, but in the end, they were met with headaches from the Xijing Army.

Moreover, they were taking the initiative to retreat, not to be defeated. They released their arrow formations in an extremely short period of time, causing the approaching Chuan Country And Zhen Country riders to suffer, charging in front of the thousand of arrows nailed together like a hedgehog.

The Chuan Country And Zhen Country Cavalry soldiers were shocked, under such a dense and fierce array of arrows, how could they dare to rush in, they all turned their horses around and returned back to the camp.

The enemy cavalry retreated, and the Xijing Army was no longer pressured. The army quickly but surely returned to the Gaochuan County.

They did not directly face off against the main force of the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country, but the effects they played were extremely critical. They directly solved the crisis of the Jinyang, allowing the siege, where the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country was most assuredly going, to return without any success this time.

After two consecutive days of fierce attacks from the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country, the number of new soldiers defending the Jinyang had suffered heavy casualties, falling from nearly one hundred thousand to more than thirty thousand. Of course, the casualties of the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country were much greater than the new soldiers, but the number of Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country soldiers were also much more than the new soldiers, so even though the number of casualties exceeded one hundred thousand, it did not affect the overall combat strength of the new army.

The battle had reached such a state that even Qiu Zhen had lost confidence. He tried to privately advise Tang Yin to give up on his Jinyang and head north to join forces with them. Tang Yin also wanted to retreat, with the battle reaching this stage, he did not want to fight anymore, but the risk of retreating was too high.

Right now, there were tens of thousands of Chastity Army stationed in Ningding. If the attack was successful, it would be easier to defeat them in one go, but if the attack was blocked and the main force of Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country came chasing after them, their armies would have nowhere to run. Right now, Tang Yin could only grit his teeth and endure through the Jinyang. Even if he retreated, he could only wait until Directly Subordinate Army and the local army joined hands to take down the Ningding.

Tang Yin did not accept Qiu Zhen's suggestion and decided to continue staying at the Jinyang to fight to the death. The only thing that made him feel at ease was the restriction the Xijing Army had placed on the enemy troops. Tang Yin had already sent orders to Sanshui Army and Xijing Army, telling the two armies to join hands to obstruct the menacing Huan Army. Sanshui Army had followed Tang Yin's orders, but Xijing Army had not moved.

Zuo Shuang did not have the guts to defy his orders. The reason why his Xijing Army did not go with his Sanshui Army to meet the enemy was because of Liang Qi's intentions.

Although Liang Qi looked like a gentle person, in truth, he was extremely arrogant. As the commander of the Sanshui Army, he had battled with the Ning Army too many times. In his opinion, the combat power of the Ning Army was extremely weak. Secondly, and most importantly, Liang Qi hated Huan Army to the bone. When he had suffered a great defeat at Huan Army back then, he had kind intentions of not killing them off, and had even released them all. However, not only did Huan Country not have any intention of gratitude, it had even sent out an additional four hundred thousand troops, filling Liang Qi's heart with resentment.

Liang Qi was originally a calm and shrewd person, but this time he was a bit impulsive.

By following Liang Qi's instructions, Zuo Shuang managed to resolve the problem with his Jinyang.

In the next few days, whenever Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country attacked a city, the Xijing Army that heard the news would quickly rush over and attack the camp of the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country. Zuo Shuang was very good at using troops, and he was very cautious. Every time he attacked Enemy's Camp, he would not rashly go deeper, but only shoot at the edges of the Enemy's Camp. Once he sees the enemy main force returning to camp, he would immediately lead the troops to withdraw his Gaochuan County.

His tactics were like a piece of gum, sticking to you tightly. No matter how hard you tried, you just couldn't take it off. Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country's harassment tactics were extremely annoying, but the latter was too crafty, and was unable to grab the opportunity to fight directly. The several assaults of Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country all ended up with him saving himself when he returned to his own camp.

At this time, even Ren Fang felt a headache coming on, and sent people to investigate carefully, only then did they realize that this Feng Army was not the true Feng Army. Its predecessor was a Central Army, and its commander was a General of Ning Country called Zuo Shuang. Ren Fang was extremely quick-witted and was sharp enough to sense that there might be some opportunities.

He had sent a talkative Chuan Country advisor to go to the Gaochuan County to persuade Zuo Shuang, so that he could rely on Chuan Country to attack the wind together. After all, Ning Country was destroyed by Feng Country, so people like Feng Ren should be mortal enemies. After entering the Gaochuan County, the Chuan Country Advisor smoothly found the location of the Xijing Army, and even successfully saw Zuo Shuang.

In front of Zuo Shuang, this person could be said to be eloquent like a river, dancing with joy while speaking his mind, setting up the truth, reasoning, moving with emotion, reasoning and using all the skills in his body to try and convince Zuo Shuang. Zuo Shuang did not interrupt him, he just listened quietly and did not say anything. After waiting for the great reason of the Chuan Country Advisor to come to an end, Zuo Shuang asked with a smile: "Is that what you want to say?"

"Since General Zuo Shuang is so good at using troops, he must be a hero amongst men. He should be able to see that the situation in the Feng Country is no longer as it is, and the way out is the right one. If we continue to defend our Feng Country, General Zuo Shuang and the many soldiers under his command will probably die without a burial ground!"

He was half persuading and half threatening.

Zuo Shuang nodded, his gaze sweeping past the advisor's body, looking out of the tent, he shouted: "Men! Take out the Chuan Country of this demon that deceives people and messes with my army's hearts, and behead him! "

After all, he was the envoy of an army. Even if Zuo Shuang did not listen to his advice, he could not kill him! Without waiting for him to explain, the guards outside rushed in and dragged him out of the tent without a word and beheaded him with a single slash.

Zuo Shuang ordered the head of the Chuan Country Advisor placed inside a box, then he sent it back to the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country camp to make clear his determination.

To Ren Fang, the fact that the envoy he sent was killed and only returned a bloody severed head was undoubtedly a great disgrace and humiliation. He immediately sent Jin Zhuo, the vice-commander, to command 200,000 Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country to head towards the Gaochuan County realm to suppress them. Before they left, Ren Fang gave Jin Zhuo a death order, regardless of the cost, he had to annihilate this enemy army.

Jin Zhuo accepted the order and left, bringing along his two hundred thousand strong army, with a grand aura, he majestically went south to the Gaochuan County, wanting to fight to the death with it.

The Xijing Army that was commanded by Zuo Shuang was craftier than a fox's. Upon hearing that Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country's troops were coming towards their side, he led the entire army and abandoned the camp, escaping into the depths of the Gaochuan County during the night and using roundabout tactics to entangle with the enemy.

Right now, he was also sending out two hundred thousand troops, greatly reducing the number of troops that could be used to attack the city. Although Xijing Army had been scared away, Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country was unable to organize any more powerful attacks.

Over the next few days, the fierce battle between the two sides gradually turned into a bitter fight. Ren Fang was very clear in his heart that it was very difficult on his side as well as on the Feng Army. At this time, he definitely could not relax, nor did he stop attacking the city, so even if he had to bite the bullet, he had to persevere and not give the Feng Army within the Jinyang a chance to catch his breath.1

The enemies were attacking the city less and less, but the reduction in fighting capacity was even more severe. If Tang Yin had not stayed on the city walls and fought alongside the soldiers, the fighting spirit of the soldiers would have been shattered.

On one side, the two sides were attacking with all their might, and on the other hand, they were fighting with everything they had in order to survive. Since the battle at Jinyang had reached this point, they were already at an impasse. The Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country s were difficult to break through, and the Jinyang s had no ability to retreat at all. Although the battle between the two armies was still ongoing, the intensity of the battle was incomparable to the first two days of the siege.

On the other side, the Directly Subordinate Army that had left the Jinyang and the three routes of local army had appeared in the four directions of the Ningding, east, south, west. There were one hundred thousand people on the Directly Subordinate Army and seventy to eighty thousand on the third road. So in total, there was nearly two hundred thousand soldiers on the third road.

Many Feng Army s suddenly appeared outside of the Ningding, and most of them were within the Zhen Jun Army's general Xiao Chong's expectations. He even suspected that the Feng Army s had given up on the Jinyang, and had all charged into the Ningding.

He quickly gave the order to close the city gates, and all the soldiers ascended the city walls, blocking the attacks of the Feng Army.

After Directly Subordinate Army and the local army arrived at the Ningding, the main generals gathered together to discuss their strategy for fighting the enemy.

As the commander of the Directly Subordinate Army, the generals of the three local armies naturally treated Wu Ying as their leader.

According to Wu Ying's idea, they should use all their power to attack the city, break through the Chastity Army's defensive line in one go, and rush into the city.

Without waiting for the general of the third route to make his stance known, Fan Shan had already started shaking his head, repeatedly saying, "That's not right! It's not appropriate for the entire army to attack! "

Wu Ying frowned, she glanced at Fan Shan and asked: "What does General Fan think is wrong?"

Fan Shan said in a serious tone: "We still do not know the strength of the enemy, how can we attack with everything we have? We should first let the County Army brothers take the lead, and test the strength of the enemy first, and achieve our goal. After that, it would not be too late for my Directly Subordinate Army to participate in the battle! "

However, in terms of the overall situation, Fan Shan's words did indeed make sense. After all, Directly Subordinate Army was the main force, and also a noble Central Army, one of the pillars of Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country defense, so it was impossible for them to bear the loss.

Wu Ying thought about it carefully and thought that Fan Shan's idea was not bad. After that, she nodded her head and replied. She looked at the three generals and asked: "What do you think, generals?"
