Mo Army did not dare to go against the Ninth Army, and could only retreat, defend, retreat, defend again.

On the third day after they had entered the Haowan County, Qi Heng had said that Mo Army could not withstand a single blow. The King's army could simply stay in Jiang Yang without moving, and with the strength of the Ninth Army alone, he could easily seize Mo Army and take down the entire Haowan County.

In just one breath, they had advanced more than a hundred li. No one could stop them, and Tang Yin who was in Jiang Yang was happy as well, as he allowed the Ninth Army to sweep through the enemy with their Haowan County.

But just as the news of the Ninth Army's victory was spreading, something happened behind the Feng Army.

Le Chen of Tian Yang County, who had received the order from Xu Leng Qi, led a total of twenty thousand people in Mo Army and suddenly charged into the Zeping County, successfully launching a sneak attack on it.

There were indeed guards left behind in Chang City, but it was just that there weren't many, only around three thousand people. In regards to Feng Army, he never expected that Mo Army would suddenly attack him. Due to the lack of preparation, the guards relaxed and in addition to the fact that Mo Army was an ambush during the night, he was caught unprepared by the other party. Mo Army s almost effortlessly took Chang City s.

After occupying the Chang City, Le Chen immediately gave the order to burn down the food and equipment that the Feng Army had stocked in the city. There was only one thing that he had not burned, and that was the Army-broking Crossbow s of the Feng Army. When the fire started, he immediately led his subordinates out of the city and brought the Army-broking Crossbow with him.

Moreover, they did not stay at the Chang City camp for life. Once they were done, they would run, but the food and materials that were hoarded by the Feng Army had all been burnt clean. What was especially hateful was that hundreds of Army-broking Crossbow were also snatched away by the Mo Army.

When Jiang Yang heard the news, Tang Yin was greatly angered. He immediately ordered for the guards to be cut down, and in addition, he assigned twenty thousand Directly Subordinate Army and appointed the vice commander-in-chief, Shen Zhichen, to guard the Chang City to ensure that there were no mistakes in it.

Fortunately, Feng Army was now full of food and materials. Although the loss of Chang City was huge, it was not a threat to Feng Army.

However, it was hard for people to swallow their anger. Tang Yin suddenly changed his tactics and once again made the decision to divide the troops. He sent Zuo Shuang to lead a hundred thousand Feilong Army to attack Tian Yang;

Zuo Shuang received the order, commanding the hundred thousand Feilong Army to return from Jiang Yang, to find a way to attack Tian Yang County.

Otherwise, County Head Le Chen would not only bring twenty thousand people to take the risk of sneak attack on Chang City. Upon hearing the news that Feng Army's Feilong Army legion had switched to Tian Yang County, Le Chen was scared out of her wits and hastily sent a message to Xu Leng Qi to ask for help.

Xu Leng Qi's reply was very quick and straightforward. He asked for troops from him, but she didn't! As for how he was going to defend against Feng Army, the only thing he could do was let Le Chen think of a way.

Seeing Xu Leng Qi's reply, Le Chen was so angered that he started cursing on the spot. He had ordered his sneak attack on Chang City, and he had also succeeded in his sneak attack, he had also followed Xu Leng Qi's orders, and had ordered him to snatch Feng Army's Army-broking Crossbow, and he had also done so, and had even sent someone to specially deliver it to. Now that Feng Army had turned its spearhead to come for revenge, and Xu Leng Qi had abandoned him, who in the world would be so heartless and heartless?

However, there was nothing he could do about Xu Leng Qi, so in the end, he could only withdraw all the troops that were scattered across the entire county, and defend the point of the Tian Yang County's Provincial Capital bridge.

The Flower Bridge was located in the center of Tianyang County. It was also a large town. It was a practical thing for Le Chin to give up his resistance early on, and to confine all the available arms of the whole county to the floral bridge.

With Zuo Shuang in the lead, the Feilong Army advanced quickly in Tianyang County, and without any resistance, the soldiers were pressed directly beneath the Flower Bridge City. In a situation where his persuasion had no effect, Zuo Shuang gave the order for the entire army to attack the city.

The tragic state of the Chang City was still fresh in their minds as the citizens and soldiers of the Flower Bridge City steeled their hearts and fought against the Feng Army with their lives. The Feilong Army had forcefully attacked for an entire day with no progress at all, so Zuo Shuang could only give the order to withdraw.

There weren't many Mo Army in the city, and the combined power of the Central Army and local forces didn't even amount to sixty thousand people, but there were too many citizens in the city. These citizens were afraid that if they were to break into the city, they would become food for the people in the Feng Army, and if they were to pay for the money, people would come out, and even if they didn't directly participate in the defense of the city, just by helping the Mo Army to transport the rolling wood, rock barrage, and other items, they would save a large number of troops, allowing them to place on the battlefield as much as possible.

At this time, the garrison army and citizens of the Flower Bridge had achieved the degree where the hearts of the army and citizens were united. As a result, the Flower Bridge had also become impregnable as the Feilong Army had not been able to be used for a long time.

On the other side, the Ninth Army who was fighting with their Haowan County were in trouble as well.

In the ten or so days since the Ninth Army entered the Haowan County, three cities consecutively descended and broke through thirty-one, fifteen strongholds, and seven strongholds. But the attack speed of the Ninth Army was very fast, and their Mo Army was not slow either. Usually, when the Ninth Army had just set up one checkpoint, another checkpoint would be built with Mo Army that was a few kilometers away. Repeated assaults and construction of the city had caused the Ninth Army to be unable to handle it.

The only thing that was worth comforting was that, no matter how fast the gates to the Mo Army and the fortifications were being built, they were still being built step by step, while the Ninth Army was advancing step by step.

At this moment, Qi Heng could also tell that Mo Army was used as a delaying tactic, but he didn't care. He wanted to see how long Mo Army could drag it out for, and the day that his army reached Haowan County, would come sooner or later.

The Ninth Army had to stop and stop at all Haowan County s for a period of time. After twenty days, they finally pushed to the top of the county where Pufeng s were located. Just as the Ninth Army was advancing forward, the scouts ahead reported that there was a small camp about five kilometers ahead of them.

After Qi Heng heard this, he let out a snort of laughter. After fighting this way, he had already lost count of the number of camps in Mo Army, as well as the number of fortresses and checkpoints. Just as he thought that this stretch of road was pretty peaceful, there were actually more camps up ahead. He absent-mindedly asked left and right, "Who is willing to take the lead and capture the enemy camp?"

Without waiting for the others to speak, he was afraid that Shi Lexuan, who was behind him, would rush forward and bow his hands: "General, this general is willing to take the lead!"

He was the vice commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army, so it was not his place to take the lead. However, since the war had been very relaxed, with very little resistance from the Mo Army, Qi Heng did not think much about it and nodded his head: "Alright, Le Xuan, you bring ten thousand brothers to break through the camp, I'll be there shortly!"

"This lowly general obeys your command!" Shi Lexuan laughed as he accepted the order, muttering in his heart that this time, he would have to write an extra record on his record. Ye Tang and Gao Yu who were also Vice Generals of the Ninth Army looked at Shi Lexuan's leaving figure and said worriedly, "General, the scouts reported that the enemy camp this time was not small, and so General Shi only brought ten thousand brothers to break out of the camp. "It's too dangerous."

"Eh?!" Qi Heng waved his hand nonchalantly, and said: "That's just a bluff from the Mo Army, if this marshal's expectations aren't wrong, Xu Leng Qi and the main force of the Mo Army should be in the Provincial Capital, they want to use delaying tactics to buy time for them, and accumulate as much food and materials as possible, so it's good for them to fight against my army!"2

Qi Heng's analysis was not unreasonable. Ever since they had started fighting in Haowan County, the tactics that Mo Army had used seemed to have had this intention as well.

However, Ye Tang had a faint feeling that the battle was progressing too smoothly and to the point that it was abnormal. He was not without worry as he said, "For the Mo Country to assign a commander of a water army over here, it means that he must have some outstanding points. General must not be careless!"

Although he hated hearing such words, Qi Heng still said patiently, "This commander understands. General Ye, don't worry!"

Ye Tang and Gao Yu looked at each other and did not speak any further, but the worry in their hearts did not decrease in the slightest.

As for Shi Lexuan who was in the lead, he led the Second Regiment of the Ninth Army and headed straight towards the camp of the Mo Army. While walking, while watching, and taking a clear look at the Mo Camp, Shi Lexuan sucked in a breath of cold air.

This camp was very different from the ones they had taken before. This piece, that piece, was as if it had been bitten by a dog. But this large camp in front of him, the walls of the camp were two and a half meters tall, forming a ring shape, completely covering the entire camp, and outside the wall, there was a ring shaped Rejecting Wooden-Horse, and behind the Rejecting Wooden-Horse, there was a five meter tall wall of earth, these were all used to block cavalry.

How did this look like a temporary camp? It seemed more like it had been meticulously prepared to block the army.

At this time, Shi Lexuan's heart had also gradually tensed up. He intentionally slowed down his horse, and shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "Everyone stay alert, the Enemy's Camp in front is a little unusual!"

The people on both sides all consoled, "General, don't worry. Mo Army cannot hurt us. If there really are heavy soldiers in the camp, we can just go back!"

Shi Lexuan nodded and no longer said anything. When he was only three hundred steps away from the Mo Camp, he squinted his eyes and looked forward carefully.

The walls of the Mo Camp were filled with flags and ribbons, but what was unexpected was that not a single person could be seen. Even the Barracks Gate were open, and there were no guards or soldiers at the entrance.

Seeing that, Shi Lexuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. He originally thought that the Mo Army was not a bluff and that he would fight head on with them here, but in the end, he overestimated the Mo Army and they set up a camp for him.

He took a deep breath, and rushed to his left and right, and bellowed: Mo Army is hateful, brothers, charge! "Kill!"

"Kill ?" Under Shi Lexuan's order, the Second Regiment slowly turned into a charge, the warhorse flung its four hooves, and galloped with its full strength. In that instant, the scene of ten thousand horses galloping could be said to be extremely spectacular.
