C1187

In the direct battle between the Huaning Army and the allied forces, it ended with Xu Bufan being heavily injured and the Chastity Army being utterly defeated. Xiao Muqing was not in a hurry to chase them down. The enemy had already entered into his big bag that he had prepared beforehand, so he was not afraid that they would fly into the sky.

Indeed. Just as Gao Gang was about to lead the main force of the Chastity Army and flee in the direction of the Huaning, a drumbeat suddenly sounded out in front of them. With the rise of the banner, a large group of people appeared in the road, blocking the path of the Chastity Army.

Gao Gang could clearly see what was happening, and with a cry of alarm, he ordered the entire army to rush forward with all their might.

The allied army that was responsible for cutting off the Chastity Army's retreat was well-prepared. When the Chastity Army entered their range, the entire army released arrows. The arrow formations were like locusts as they blotted out the sky and covered the earth and shot into the Chastity Army's camp.

In the process of charging, before the allied forces could come into contact with them, the death and injury of the Chastity Army was already extremely severe.

When both sides started fighting, the first thing the Chastity Army did was to meet the Generals And Soldiers of Pingyuan Army of the two legions that were at the vanguard of the allied army. This was yet another bloody battle.

On the other side, the Chastity Army was different. They had pursuers that could catch up to them at any time, so they could only bite the bullet and break out of the encirclement.

The battle between the two sides was bloody and tragic. The warriors on both sides were inseparable, and for a time, neither side was able to determine who was stronger. However, the Chastity Army's charge had been firmly blocked by the allied forces.

Gao Gang carefully observed the situation of the battlefield and shook his head. The combined forces of his army couldn't be underestimated either. If they continued to fight like this, who knew how long they would have to fight for.

Unable to break out of the encirclement in a short period of time, Gao Gang had no choice but to change his order again. The entire army turned south, heading in the direction of the city. No matter what, they still had an army of over a hundred thousand people. As long as they could escape to the city, they could be saved.

However, how would they give Xiao Muqing the chance to escape to the city when he had already set up an inescapable trap?

When the Chastity Army fled towards the south, the road ahead of them was once again blocked by an alliance army just ten miles away. This alliance army had around seventy to eighty thousand soldiers, and they had already lined up their battle formations, ready to fight. It seemed that they had been waiting for Zhen Xing's army for a long time.

At this point, he finally realized that his side had fallen into the trap of the allied army. The eastern, southern, western and northern sides had been cut off by the allied army, and they had already fallen into its heavy encirclement.

Now that the battle had reached this point, of the one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers that followed Xu Bufan out of the city, less than half were left. Even the remaining people were mostly injured.

Even though he knew his men were not strong enough, Gao Gang was not willing to sit still and wait for death. He ordered his men to charge again. No matter what, he had to break out of the encirclement.

However, the Chastity Army's break out of the encirclement was like an arrow at the end of its flight. It had been fighting with the allied forces for a short time, but they were exhausted. Although they attacked with all their power several times, they couldn't break out of the encirclement.

The Chastity Army had repeatedly broken through and failed in the face of the combined tactics of the allied forces. By the next day, the Chastity Army was completely exhausted.

On the other hand, on the side of the allied army, the four armies had already gathered in one place and formed an iron bucket formation, completely surrounding the veterans of the Chastity Army.

At this point, Xiao Muqing's personally led three hundred thousand strong army had basically completed their mission. Next, the allied army, who had the initiative in the battle, could either forcefully attack or encircle them, and could kill them all.

Xiao Muqing sent the report of the battle back to their camp and reported the good news to Tang Yin. At the same time that Tang Yin received the news, he received another report. The general of the city had already led the defending troops out of the city and rushed straight towards his side.

Looking at the two pieces of information, Tang Yin was extremely worried. It was not because he was afraid of the battles, but because according to Xiao Muqing's reports, the place where they were besieging the Chastity Army was right beside the road from the city to the Xi Tang. It was just fifty li away.

He immediately wrote a reply to Xiao Muqing, telling him to quickly eliminate the Trapped Chastity Army. If he really couldn't do it, he would have to defend and assist Xiao Muqing in the city, so he had to be prepared in advance.

After they sent the report back, Tang Yin called for the generals of the army to once again select their commanders to meet the reinforcements that were rushing through the city.

Because Xiao Muqing had made a good start and lightly took the Huaning army led by Xu Bufan, this caused all the generals of the allied forces to become a lot more confident, as they were all eager to give it a try, and had the intention to volunteer themselves.

Now that they wanted to fight, Tang Yin didn't trust them at all. He directly called out their names, and said: "Zi Ying!"

"This lowly general is here!" Hearing Tang Yin's summons, Zi Ying anxiously stepped forward and interfered with the greeting. Tang Yin said with a stern face: "Zi Ying, I will give you three hundred thousand soldiers and horses.

"This ?" Zi Ying hesitated and did not answer immediately. The reason why Xiao Muqing was able to easily take over the chastity army was because Shangguan Yuan had allowed him to injure Xu Bufan. Now, the King wanted him to go and face the battle, but he did not have a strong general like Shangguan Yuan, who could resist the battle on the battlefield?

Seeing Zi Ying hesitate, Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked: What? You think you can't win this battle? "

Zi Ying hurriedly replied, "Reporting to your majesty, this trial has the reputation of being the head of the profound strength, and the subordinate of this lowly general is afraid ? Could it be his opponent? "

Tang Yin laughed and said: What's there to be afraid of? As he spoke, he turned his head and said: "Jiang Fan!"

"This lowly general is here!"0

"You and General Zi Ying will go to battle together!"

"This lowly general obeys your command!"

Tang Yin's eyes turned, now was the time to hire people, don't let Yu An, An and Huan's fierce generals have no time to spare. Thinking to this point, he raised his voice and asked: "Where are Shi Xiao, Yan Hui, and Zhang Ben?"

Ouch! Not expecting that Tang Yin would pick their names, Shi Xiao, Yan Hui, and Zhang Ben first looked at their respective King. Seeing that the King did not express anything, they then stepped forward and bowed, "This general is here! I wonder what orders Feng King has? "

"The three of you follow General Zi Ying. When you encounter a battle on the battlefield, you can work with General Jiang Fan and defeat the enemy together!" While speaking, he looked at Ling Shuang, Yue Ze, and Li Xin, and asked: "Royal Brother, Little Sister Wang, don't you mind lending us your beloved generals?"

Tang Yin had already opened his mouth, how could Ling Shuang, Yue Ze, and Li Xin possibly have the face to refuse? They all nodded their heads and laughed: "Royal brother (Royal Brother), please do not hesitate to transfer, we are all family now, there is no need to be courteous."

"Very good!" Tang Yin laughed, then looked at Zi Ying and asked: "Now that you have the help of these four generals Jiang Fan, Shi Xiao, Yan Hui, and Zhang Ben, you should be confident in your victory, right?"

Zi Ying replied: "Don't worry Great King, I will not fail my mission!"

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded his head, then warned again: "You must be fast. The location of the battle between Muqing and the Zhen Jun Army is not far from the battle route, you must reach there before the battle begins, to support Muqing's army!"

"This lowly general understands!"

As for the other commander-in-chiefs, Tang Yin had also dispatched Zi Ying, Jiang Fan, Shi Xiao, Yan Hui, Yan Hui and the other generals to lead three hundred thousand troops to meet the enemy.

Zi Ying's strategy was not as complicated as Xiao Muqing's. He just wanted to face the enemy head on and defeat them with his superior strength.

Even in terms of arrangement, Zi Ying was the complete opposite of Xiao Muqing. When the latter and the Chastity Army fought, they would place the Pingyuan Army under their command in front, but Zi Ying would do the opposite. He placed the armies of Yu An, An and Huan in front, and left his Heavenly Eagle Army behind.

He had thought it through very clearly. Since the King made him the commander-in-chief, if he didn't take care of his own soldiers, then he would feel too ashamed and waste the King's painstaking efforts. If he wanted to fight with the Pure Ones, then Yu, An, and Huan would have to fight. The soldiers on his side would only be in charge of the front and back.

The difference in personality of the two could also be seen from the arrangement of Xiao Muqing and Zi Ying. The former was fierce, straightforward, and the latter was more scheming, and also much more insidious.

Zi Ying led the army and rushed forward, but he was still unable to reach the location of the battle between Xiao Muqing and the Chastity Army even though he was at the frontlines.

However, to everyone's surprise, when Xu Bufan's army was just around the corner, they completely ignored it and directly led their troops over, brushing past him.

Even if the news of the battle was not very well-received, but he should at least be aware of something when he was so close to the location of the battle between the alliance and the Chastity Army. The reason he did not go to assist was, of course, because he had his own plans.

Firstly, he and Xu Bufan had never been on good terms, and wanted him to save Xu Bufan's life. He was truly unwilling, and secondly, using Xu Bufan's remnants to delay the allied army of three hundred thousand might not be a bad thing for him. At least, once he leads his troops to the Xi Tang and fights with the allied army, the enemy's forces would be much weaker, and he would have more confidence in winning against them. Whether it was Xu Bufan doing well or him doing well in battle, it would be hard to tell when Xu Bufan would reward him in the future.

Due to these considerations, the battle finally concluded without a trace of concern for Xu Bufan, who was in a precarious situation and had yet to be saved.

When the commander-in-chief was only a few hundred kilometers away from the Xi Tang, he coincidentally bumped into Zi Ying's group who was charging towards him. The two sides were at a stalemate, and no one could avoid them. Each side arranged their battle formations, preparing themselves for battle.

Seeing that there were a lot of allied forces on the opposite side, the first part of the battle had been rather worried, but looking carefully, what was being fought was the banner of Huan Army, which immediately roused their fighting spirit. Amongst the six nations allied with Zhen Country, two were the most ruthless in People of Zhen Country. The first was Chuan Country, and the second was Huan Country. Back then when his Zhen Country had gained power, his Huan Country followed the lead of his Zhen Country, acting completely like a Subordinate Nation. Now that his Zhen Country had lost power, what was most retaliating against his Zhen Country was precisely his Huan Country. How could People of Zhen Country not hate such a fickle, two-faced, snobbish person?
