Xiao Xuan hoped that Ann Army would win in the beginning, but Yue Ze did not understand his good intentions. He waved his hand and said: "Elder Royal Brother Xiao, my Ann Army does not have a lot of siege equipment.

Xiao Xuan did not force him. As long as he could win, Yue Ze would do whatever he wanted to him.

Yue Ze boasted in front of everyone, after leaving the Central Army Tent, he immediately returned to the Ann Army's camp.

When he saw his men, his tone suddenly took a 180 degree turn. He had set clear requirements for his subordinates. If they could fight, they would fight; if they couldn't, they would immediately finish it. Their goal was to minimize their own losses.

The General of Ann Country understood tacitly, and nodded their heads to express that they understood.

Before the battle had even started, Yue Ze had already had the thought of preserving his strength. Forget about the fact that they were fighting against the Chastity Army, even if it was just a mob of grass bandits, under this thought, whether they could even win or not was another story.

Very quickly, two hundred thousand Ann Army left the Allied Army Camp in a grandiose manner, and rushed to the clearing hall five kilometers away.

Without saying anything on the way, the Ann Army smoothly arrived outside the city. Although it was a checkpoint, it was about the same size as a small city. Because it was a military installation, there were no civilians in the pass, so the inside of the checkpoint was empty except for the living quarters.

The city wall of Tongguan was not that high, and was at most ten meters tall. Because it was built a long time ago, it had never been renovated. The city wall also looked dilapidated, and there were a lot of cracks appearing on it.

Looking up from the city wall, there were quite a few of them. They stood densely on top, and it was hard to tell how many there were. According to the intelligence of the allied army, there were more than thirty thousand people guarding the gate, which was a far cry from the two hundred thousand people's Ann Army.

Yue Ze personally supervised the battle and looked towards the direction of the clearing house. He secretly grimaced, the information said that there were thirty thousand soldiers in the clearing house, why does it look like there are tens of thousands of soldiers on the city walls, could it be that their intelligence was wrong?

His heart was in turmoil as he asked the General of Ann Country s around him, "Who is willing to go meet the Chastity Army first and test the depth of the enemy?"

Just as he finished speaking, the deputy general of Ann Army, Liu Chong, rode his horse forward and came in front of Yue Ze. He cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this general is willing to lead the charge!"

Yue Ze nodded his head, and said: "At the moment, Zhen Jun's strength is unknown, General Liu should be extra careful."

"This lowly general understands!" Liu Chong agreed and spurred his horse to rush out of the formation. He reined his warhorse at an area outside of the pass where he could shoot an arrow at the ground, then went to the top of the city wall to demand the enmity of the formation.

Not long after, the gates to the city opened and two thousand men rushed out. The leader of the group, General Zhen, brandished his spear and charged straight at Liu Chong. This Chastity General's name was Chen Sheng. He was a Deputy General who had cleared the level.

The two of them fought back and forth, only exchanging a dozen rounds. Liu Chong was careless in a single move, and got hit by Chen Sheng's spear. Without waiting for him to get up from the ground, Chen Sheng urged his horse forward, and the spear in his hand descended, directly smashing Liu Chong to the ground.

Yue Ze who was watching the fight watched on helplessly as Liu Chong died in the hands of the Prunken General.

All the General of Ann Country were sad and furious. They refused to accept it and one by one, they requested for orders. Yue Ze waved his hand, and said: "There is no need to fight alone, send orders to this king, all armies are to attack the city!"

As soon as he gave the order, all two hundred thousand Ann Army s moved.

At the same time the siege troop advanced, the Trebuchet that had been prepared for the Ann Army began to activate. Yue Ze did not use the siege weapons from other nations. It was not that he was careless, it was just that there were indeed a lot of siege weapons from Ann Army.

There was nothing special about the Ann Country, it was just that there was a lot of money and countless equipment to attack the city. Just the Trebuchet alone numbered nearly two thousand and they all shot out at the same time.

In just one round of attack, the walls of the city had bloomed everywhere. Many of the Chastity Army soldiers who couldn't dodge in time were smashed down the walls of the city in groups, and their bodies were smashed into pieces.

Under the berserk attack of the Ann Army Trebuchet, the Ann Country Siege Infantry soldiers methodically pushed their way into the clear range. At this time, countless of Chastity Army soldiers were gathering at the top of the city wall, using all their might to shoot out arrows.

Waves of Arrow Rain landed in the Ann Army camp, followed by the sound of metal colliding, and the ground was littered with broken arrows.

Ann Army's equipment could be said to be the best among the various empires. Even the most ordinary soldiers wore incomparably hard armor made of fine steel.

But as the distance between the two sides continued to close, the Trebuchet s of the Ann Army stopped firing, and the Zhen Jun on the city walls finally regained their footing. They were able to shoot towards the Ann Army outside of the city without any distractions, and at this time, the armor of the Ann Army was no longer able to protect them in any way.

Outside of the city, the wails of arrows being shot from the Ann Army camp rose and fell one after another. The rolling logs, stone slabs and burning hot Pyretic Oil had all caused tremendous damage to the Ann Army soldiers.

When the Ann Army set up the ladders and started to climb towards the city walls, the armor on their bodies became their heaviest burden.

Several tens of kilograms of heavy armor hung on their bodies, making the process of their climb appear incomparably slow. Zhen Jun seized the opportunity and fiercely smashed down at the Ann Army, and after more than an hour of battle, their Ann Army had not even reached the city walls by half, but the corpses of their Ann Army outside the city had already begun to pile up.

Yue Ze watched on anxiously. At this rate, even if they were able to clear the level, they would have suffered heavy losses. Thinking of this, he ordered all the generals left and right to call for reinforcements as soon as possible. They could no longer fight.1

Before the battle, he had already warned the General of Ann Country and made mental preparations to retreat at any time. But now, the battle had not even started for an hour and they were already preparing to leave, isn't this a little too fast?

However, Yue Ze was the King, so no one dared to disobey him. The Ann Army faction stopped beating the drums, and at the same time, a series of gongs and gongs rang.

When the Generals And Soldiers of Ann Army who was attacking the city heard the sound of gold ringing behind them, they no longer had any intention of fighting.

Although it might be easy for them to advance, when they retreated, they were met with the concentrated attacks of the Chastity Army. The arrow formations came continuously from behind the Ann Army, and during the process of retreat, there were thousands of Generals And Soldiers of Ann Army s who were shot and killed.

The retreat of Ann Army was quick, the so-called siege battle was over. The total number of casualties in Ann Army was less than ten thousand, and the entire army had retreated back to Allied Army Camp.

Yue Ze directly headed to the Central Army Tent, and before he could even open his mouth to see the various kings waiting for news, he first drank two large gulps of tea, then panted and added fuel to the fire: "Our intelligence was wrong, the number of soldiers who passed the trial far exceeded thirty thousand, my Generals And Soldiers of Ann Army was bathed in blood, and we were unable to take them down for long, so in the end, our injuries were truly too great, and we had no choice but to withdraw temporarily! "But all the nobles need not worry. After that bloody battle, the Chastity Army suffered heavy losses as well ?"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xiao Xuan stood up abruptly.

From the time he had left the camp to the time he had returned, only four hours had passed. Taking into account the time spent on the road, most likely the attack on the city took around an hour.

Seeing Xiao Xuan's gloomy and unsightly face, Yue Ze was also scared to the point of shrinking his neck. He shakily put down the teacup in his hand and lowered his head, not daring to say a single word.

Xiao Xuan's gaze swept across him ruthlessly, then looked at the other kings, and asked: "Who is still willing to lead the troops to attack and clear the level?"

The one who requested to fight was Li Xin. He could also tell that the Ann Army that had just emerged was simply not using his full strength at all. He probably ran back after circling the entrance once, and with him appearing and coming back, he could easily pass the test.

The words they spoke were almost the same as Yue Ze's. They were talking about how they had more than thirty thousand soldiers who had guarded the entrance, how they had resisted tenaciously, and how they had to face the danger of clearing the trial, how they were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and how Huan Army was really powerless to do anything.

First there was Yue Ze, and then there was Li Xin. Their words almost made everyone's noses crooked, was this a war? It was simply nonsense.

Ling Shuang secretly sighed, and turned to look at Tang Yin who was on the right side. The latter had a mocking smile on her face, and was greatly disappointed in the Six Nations alliance.

Under the current circumstances, he couldn't help but recall the scene of eighteen dukes from the three kingdoms trying to suppress Dong Zhuo. Each duke had their own ulterior motives and selfish motives, and in the end, they all returned with great losses.

However, at that time, Dong Zhuo was strong and the dukes were weak, but their situation now was different. The six nations were strong and their Zhen Country was weak, yet the six powerful nations, with their combined army of over a million, were actually unable to even defeat a small clearing point.

If they continued to cooperate with such an extremely stupid duke like this, they would be angered to death.

Just as the various kings were discussing who should fight next, Tang Yin suddenly said: "We should split up and fight!"

"Huh?" All the kings were startled. Yue Ze and Li Xin asked at the same time, "Earlier, when we were discussing, Younger Royal Brother Tang said that it would be beneficial to join forces. Why is it that they are splitting up now?"

The combination of forces was beneficial on the premise that no one had any selfish motives. The various kings were all afraid of losing too much and losing too much, so how could they continue to fight?

Tang Yin was too lazy to explain, too lazy to blame the other kings, he said straightforwardly: "This king has a suggestion, the allied forces will split into three groups, and the three groups will advance towards the Zhen Country of the capital city. Feng Army can be used as a road to the capital, to enter Xinfeng County, and then to advance to the west. Ann Army and Huan Army can be used as a road to temporarily act as reinforcements for the first two armies, and can also guarantee the logistics and replenishment of the first two armies when there is a need for reinforcements.

"This ?" Shao Fang muttered to himself, and did not speak immediately. Xiao Xuan rubbed his chin, and also pondered deeply, but Yue Ze and Li Xin were both happy, and did not want him to be their backup.

The two of them were afraid that others would disagree, so they fought to be the rear guard, and said repeatedly: "The Younger Royal Brother Tang's plan is good!"
