In actuality, if the Mo Army within the Xiashui Town could calm down and observe, it wouldn't be hard to realize that the Feng Army's attack was thunderous. Under the rain, it would only be blindly using long-ranged equipment such as Trebuchet s and City-breaking Crossbow s, but the soldiers that were thrown into the attacking city still had not come out.

However, how could Hu Diao and his local army have noticed those things? They had already escaped with their hands crossed behind their backs due to the huge equipment set up by Pingyuan Army. If not for the fact that Mo Army's military laws were too strict, they probably would have already abandoned their city and fled.

The long ranged attacks of the Feng Army still came wave after wave, even though he knew that the Mo Army had long ago ran into the city to dodge the attacks, and the Trebuchet and the City-breaking Crossbow were no longer able to unleash their destructive capabilities, Xiao Muqing did not have any intentions of stopping the attack.

At the same time, the light cavalry that Xiashui Town had sent out to seek help came one after another. It seemed like Hu Tu wanted to send all of the light cavalry to the city to not let go until he saw the reinforcements.

Since he had not completely understood the Feng Army's intentions, Li Rong completely ignored his Xiashui Town's cry for help and turned a deaf ear to it. On the other hand, Lu Hongming could not sit still.

After hearing the news from the Xiashui Town, he realized that there were more than a hundred thousand people there, and their Feng Army was also extremely aggressive. From this, it could be seen that this was not a bluff from Feng Army, but a genuine war against his own country.

Although his rank was much higher than Hu Diao's, his Xiashui Town was extremely important. His main purpose of being placed in the Bailin by Shao Fang was also to help him defend against the Xiashui Town, so if his Xiashui Town was to fail, then he would be held responsible.

After confirming that the Feng Army was an actual attack and not a feint, Lu Hongming finally decided to send reinforcements. He ordered for the soldiers to be mobilized and gathered their soldiers, leaving only twenty thousand people to guard the Bailin to personally lead the eight legions of eighty thousand people to rush towards the Xiashui Town.

The moment Bailin had sent out their troops, they were discovered by the spies of the Feng Army, and were then teleported to Jiang Fan's place with the fastest speed possible.

At this time, Jiang Fan was leading the Pingyuan Army and four legions in an ambush in the dense forest between the Bailin and the water.

This forest was close to the Xiashui Town, and as the official road passed through the forest, it could be said that the official road was the forest.

It was not easy for Jiang Fan and the Generals And Soldiers of Pingyuan Army to hide in the forest. It was already the middle of summer, the forest had many mosquitoes, poisonous bugs, biting Pingyuan Army and other people's bodies were all in pain.

Waiting for the scout to bring back news that his Mo Army had exited the Bailin, and was heading in the direction of the Xiashui Town was undoubtedly to give Jiang Fan and the others a shot in the arm.

Jiang Fan asked the spy: "How many troops do the enemy troops have? "How far is it from me?"

"Reporting to Chief General, the enemy army has less than a hundred thousand soldiers, they are still more than thirty miles away." Reporting to Chief General, the enemy have less than a hundred thousand men, we are still more than thirty miles away. The spy said anxiously.

"Alright!" Jiang Fan nodded his head, and said: "We will report after further exploration!"

"Yes!" Chief General! " The scout was impolite and quickly turned around and left.

Jiang Fan pulled himself together, called the four Company Leaders and several deputy Generals, and said with a stern look: "Although the enemies are many, but we have come here without any precautions, even though our army is small, we have been prepared for it, surprise attack, surprise attack, we will definitely win in one strike!"

All of the generals seated around Jiang Fan all nodded and replied, "Chief General, feel free to give your orders! We will fight to the death, and we will not fail our mission! "

Jiang Fan picked up a tree branch and drew on the ground: "The second and third legions are responsible for blocking the enemy's path. The enemy army only wants to rescue Xiashui Town, once they discover that they are ambushed, they will definitely try their best to break out of the encirclement for Xiashui Town, so no matter what, the second and third legions must hold the enemy back, and not let a single enemy soldier pass! "

The Second Regiment Army Captain Shang Xing and the third Regiment Commander Li Yue both intervened and said, "Chief General, don't worry, I will use my head as a guarantor. If we release an enemy, I will bring my head back to see Chief General!"

By saying this, the two of them would be signing a military order in front of the crowd. Regardless of whether the two of them were able to accomplish it or not, this desire and courage to win was absolutely desirable.

Jiang Fan's pale face revealed a rare trace of a smile. He nodded and praised: "Good! "As expected of my great general!" Then he looked at Zhang Ling, commander of the sixth legion, and Zhao Shun, commander of the Seventh Regiment, and said, "The sixth and seventh legions are in charge of breaking the enemy's retreat. Once the enemy discovers that they are unable to break out from the encirclement, they will definitely retreat, and this battle will be extremely difficult for the Sixth and the Seventh Regiment, do the two of you have the confidence to resist the enemy's counterattack? "

With Shang Xing and Li Yue issuing orders, how could Zhang Ling and Zhao Shun be weak? The two of them looked at each other, bowed and saluted, then said together: "We are willing to establish the military order, if the enemy breaks out from our side, the two of us will die in front of the Chief General!"

Jiang Fan nodded his head again, and said: "That's right, we all have the intention to die, we all do not have greedy thoughts. "As long as the soldiers are willing to risk their lives and fight bravely, I believe that with the strength of our army, we will be able to stop the enemy!"

Jiang Fan could only be considered as the new recruit, but he had seen too many things. After being by Tang Yin's side for a long time, he had learnt the way to boost his morale.

Under his command, the Pingyuan Army four legions were split into two, the second and third legions were at the front, and the sixth and Seventh Regiment were at the back, the four legions forming a tight encirclement.

The Pingyuan Army had laid an inescapable net halfway to Xiashui Town s toward Xiashui Town s, which could only be entered by Mo Army s. However, Lu Hongming knew nothing about this, and continued to urge his subordinates to move forward.

When he heard that Li Rong had not moved a muscle, he sneered in his heart. He had always looked down upon generals like Li Rong who relied on relationships to climb up the mountain, and now, seeing that Li Rong was not willing to send troops to rescue Xiashui Town, he thought that Li Rong was afraid of Feng Army. He did not dare to send troops, and the contempt in his heart grew. However, all of the Generals s under his command harbored concerns in their hearts. If they were to send out their Yangchuan and troops at the same time, there was a possibility of fighting with Feng Army as well. Now, they were the ones sending troops over.

Lu Hongming did not think so, he thought that since they could fight, they would fight, and if they could not fight, they would retreat. After all, he had done his job of sending troops to defend himself, and if Li Rong did not send troops, it would not be beneficial for him, and the person who would be punished by the King would not be him.

Lu Hongming was a man who was good at scheming, but he used all of his mental strength and intelligence on scheming and scheming internally. He did not study carefully why his Feng Army attacked the core of the Mo Country defense line ? ? Xiashui Town.1

When they were about to reach the location where they would set Pingyuan Army, one of the generals among the Mo Army warned Lu Hongming that the terrain here was extremely complicated and the dense forest was right next to the official road.

When Lu Hongming heard this warning, he scoffed disdainfully at it. The main force that had entered the other realm was focused on attacking the Xiashui Town, so how could they set up an ambush here? Lu Hongming did not bother with his subordinates' suggestions and continued to urge the entire army to move forward at full speed.

It didn't matter if he was careless at the moment, but he had brought the Mo Army of eighty thousand people into a desperate situation.

Before the Mo Army had gone forward even an hour, the sounds of whistling could be heard from the dense forest on both sides of the carriage, followed by countless arrows shooting out from the forest like rain.

In the midst of the Mo Army Camp, the soldiers who had been struck by the arrows fell to the ground in groups, crying out miserably. The riders who were on horseback took the lead, and one by one, they dismounted from their war horses like hedgehogs.

In merely an instant, the Mo Army was thrown into disorder.

Not good! Ambush! At this time, Lu Hongming finally understood that the worries of his subordinates were not wrong. His reaction was also fast. He immediately ordered the entire army to line up and raise their shields to defend against the enemy's attacks.

However, the official road here was long and narrow, so the Mo Army could not be concentrated in one place. The arrow formations in the forest on both sides shot out wave after wave, as if they were endless, continuously falling into the crowd of Mo Army s. The howls of the Eagle Feather Arrow, the sounds of the arrows piercing through the armor, the screams of the people, and the howls of the war horses all merged together, turning into a melody of death. The current Mo Army Camp could only be described as a tragic sight. The ground was littered with corpses that had been killed by arrows, and people were pushing and trampling on each other. Countless people had lost their lives, and the blood that flowed out had even muddy the road.

The Mo Army wasn't just passively receiving a beating, many soldiers spontaneously gathered together, and then all rushed into the forest.

With the cover of the forest, Feng Army would either release arrows behind trees or climb up trees to shoot from above. Mo Army would rush over quickly, but fall even faster, and the moment they entered the forest, arrows would fly over their heads from all directions, causing them to land on the ground with their bodies covered in arrows.

Very quickly, Lu Hongming realized that the place they were in wasn't suitable for formation, and they couldn't expand their formation either. If they were to rush into the forest, the Feng Army inside would have long been laid out like a dragnet, and their soldiers wouldn't be able to advance at all.

He could not fight, nor could he defend against it. The only thing he could do was to leave this place as soon as possible. At this time, Lu Hongming had not been knocked out by the ambushers yet, and was still calm in his mind. He passed down an order to the commanders beside him, telling them not to fight the enemy, and to rush forward with all their might, to break through the enemy's ambush point.

His strategy was not wrong, but it was all within Jiang Fan's expectations.

Before Mo Army had gone far, he saw that there were crowds of people surging in the forest ahead, as countless Feng Army surged out, blocking the road in front of him and closing the cracks.

Lu Hongming saw it clearly, and was secretly shocked in his heart. However, he maintained a calm expression on the surface, and calmly passed down the order to his left and right: "Brothers, we will charge forward with all our might!"
