Zhang Huai had killed Meng Shuang, which caused all of the General of Huan Country spectating behind him to be greatly shocked. Xiong Fei also widened his eyes as he subconsciously clenched his fists, wanting to personally go down the battlefield and fight against Zhang Huai.

At this time, another General of Huan Country suddenly roared loudly, and rushed out of the formation ahead of everyone else, spurring their horses to gallop onto the battlefield and fight with Zhang Huai.

This person's General of Huan Country was not weak, but he was not much stronger than Meng Shuang either. He rolled his eyes and made a feint with his blade. Then, he turned his horse around and lost to the main formation.

Zhang Huai was still in high spirits, and was unwilling to let him go back, so he urged his horse to chase after him.

He hung up the longblade in his hand, and quickly took down his bow and arrows. Without any warning, he fiercely turned around, and aimed at Zhang Huai, who was chasing after him, as he shot out three Spirit Arrow s consecutively.

These three Spirit Arrow s were both fast and sudden, Zhang Huai was inexperienced, and did not have any precautions. He instinctively cried out, and anxiously used his blade to block.

Following two crisp clangs, Zhang Huai took down two Spirit Arrow. However, he was unable to open the last one and it hit him squarely in the face.

With a kacha sound, Zhang Huai responded to the sound and fell down from his war horse. He fell onto the ground head first, and didn't move at all.

Upon seeing this, General of Huan Country could not help but laugh out loud, reining in his horse, then bringing it back, putting down his bow and arrow, and bringing up his Spiritual Knife again, he scoffed: "No matter how strong your Spirit Force is, you are not my opponent!"

As he spoke, he arrived in front of Zhang Huai who was sprawled on the ground and raised his hand, as if he was going to chop down. But just at this moment, Zhang Huai, who was originally lying on the ground, suddenly scuttled over, and the Spiritual Knife in his hand flew out, directly towards the chest of the General of Huan Country.

Pfft! Against everyone's expectations, that blade strike didn't even have time to cause a reaction from the General of Huan Country at all. It struck right at the chest of the Throwing Knife and the blade pierced through its chest before coming out from its back.

General of Huan Country widened his eyes in disbelief. Only now did he clearly see that the spirit armor on Zhang Huai's face had already shattered, but the arrow was still in his mouth. It turned out that even though his last arrow had hit Zhang Huai, it was firmly bitten off.

His body swayed a few times on the horse, then General of Huan Country rolled down from the horse. His four limbs twitched a few times, and then he stopped moving. Zhang Huai turned his head and spat out the arrows in his mouth, walked to the corpse on the ground and pulled out his steel blade ruthlessly. After that, he got back on his horse, used the steel blade to look at the Huan Army camp, and asked loudly: "Is there anyone that isn't afraid of death that dares to come out and fight this one?"

Zhang Huai had killed two General of Huan Country s in a row, and they could be said to be extremely shocking. It also caused the hearts of the opposing Huan Soldier s to tremble, and a chill went down their spines.

Xiong Fei became furious and cried out in rage, he was about to go up on stage again, but Xiong Yi held onto his brother tightly, slightly shook his head, and advised him in a low voice: "Big brother, why are you fighting with this thief? Our army should attack the city immediately, and take down the Xixiao Pass first before anything else! "

Xiong Yi's spirit weapon was not very good, but with his vast experience, the opposing General of Ann Country was strong and powerful, and was growing braver with each battle. He did not think that his big brother would win easily in the past, because if he lost and was hit by the spirit weapon, not only would he lose face, he would also affect his own side's siege battle.

Xiong Fei knew that his brother's intelligence far surpassed his own, so he had always been obedient to Xiong Yi.

Now that he heard his brother say this, even though Xiong Fei was unwilling, he endured it in the end. He let out a heavy snort, pulled himself together, and said to the surrounding generals: "Pass my order, the entire army is to attack the city, and seize the Xixiao Pass!"

Under Xiong Fei's orders, the soldiers in front of the Huan Army used the Fish Scale Formation to rush out and started to forcefully attack the Xixiao Pass.

Since Xixiao Pass was already the last hurdle, the defending troops inside the pass would inevitably resist with all their might. Xiong Fei and Xiong Yi both predicted that this battle would be more difficult than the first two, but they never would have imagined that the defense of the Xixiao Pass was thousands of times stronger than what the two had expected.

As the Huan Army camp entered the last hundred steps, the garrison troops on the city walls began to shoot out arrow formations.

In that instant, as if dark clouds had risen above the walls of Xixiao Pass, dense amounts of arrows flew into the air, blotting out the sky and making the people below feel as if the sky had turned dark all of a sudden.

Ding ding dang dang! Countless of arrows pierced through the gaps in the shields, injuring the Huan Soldier below. From time to time, there would be people shrieking miserably as they fell onto the ground, but once they fell down, the surrounding comrades did not even have the chance to save them, the injured people's bodies were immediately covered by the Arrow Rain s, as though they were growing a layer of black grass on their bodies.

This was only the first round of archery. Next, the second round, the third round ? The arrows released by the Xixiao Pass seemed to be endless, even though the incoming Huan Army had already lifted the tightly-packed Shield Array s, there were still soldiers under the onslaught of the arrows.

The faces of Xiong Fei and Xiong Yi, who were in command at the rear, greatly changed. The two brothers had fought with Ann Army for more than ten times, but they had never seen Ann Army Arrows in such a formidable state before. The dense and terrifying energy continuously surged wave after wave, as if Arrow Rain s had descended from the sky.

"Why are the Ann Army within the Xixiao Pass so powerful? "It's actually difficult for our soldiers to even push to the front of the pass!" Xiong Fei's brows tightly locked together, and the reins in his palm issued a cracking sound.

Xiong Yi's expression was also grave, he gazed at the garrison on the other side of the city and muttered, "Big Brother, I suddenly feel that the garrison that is protecting the Xixiao Pass is not Ann Army, but Feng Army! We have only ever seen such a terrifying arrow formation when fighting against Feng Army ? "

Hearing this, Xiong Fei sucked in a breath of cold air. Feng Army? He exclaimed: "Brother, do you think that Feng Army is inside? That's impossible! The Feng Army is obviously following behind us, how could they suddenly run in front of us and hide in the Xixiao Pass? "

"That's right!" I also hope that this is impossible! " Xiong Yi sighed to himself, however, looking at the Xixiao Pass's nocked arrow formation, he couldn't help but to have this kind of suspicion.

At this point, the arrow formation of the defending army had become even more ferocious and violent. Even if the soldiers were holding onto their shields, they would often be suppressed by the arrow formation that covered the sky and covered the ground.

As the number of casualties continued to increase, the Huan Army in front of them began to have a cowardly feeling, and they couldn't help but retreat.0

They did not even get close to the enemy city, and were only forced to retreat halfway. This kind of situation had never happened before in the history of Huan Army.

Seeing this, Xiong Fei was furious, he immediately sent out all the Personal Guard around him, making them be the supervisors on the battlefield.

Under his high pressure, the frightened Huan Army soldiers could only brace themselves and push forward with gritted teeth. At this moment, every step they were pushing forward required them to pay a huge price, sacrificing the lives of hundreds and thousands of their comrades.

After fighting for more than two hours, the Huan Army soldiers barely managed to push through the walls of the city. After that, they used ladders to start a close combat fight with the Xixiao Pass warriors.

Without the long ranged Trebuchet's assistance, and without the help of arrow towers, chariots and other large weapons, the Huan Army soldiers relied solely on their manpower to attack. Of course, if the defending army did not have strong fighting spirit, their powerful attacks might still be able to scare off the enemy, but if the defending army was a strong and courageous army, such an attack would undoubtedly be suicide.

Xiong Yi's guess was not wrong. Right now, among the troops guarding the Xixiao Pass, other than a large number of Ann Army, there were also Pingyuan Army who had been waiting here for a long time.

Before Huan Army had even set off for Mount Kong Sang, Pingyuan Army had already quietly moved here, and consolidated the city's defenses, hoarding materials, and food within the Xixiao Pass, in order to engage in a prolonged battle with Huan Army.

Huan Army did not have any large siege weapons, and relying solely on manpower to attack seemed to be an extremely foolish thing to do. Forget about the fact that Huan Army had not invested much manpower yet, even if it increased by ten times, they were not afraid. They still had the confidence to keep the enemy at bay.

When Huan Army was climbing up the ladder, the rolling logs and rocks above his head were like hail, as they smashed down head-on. Mixed within them were countless arrows, and a group of Huan Army soldiers were climbing up, getting beaten down, and below the city wall, were piles of Huan Army soldiers' corpses.

The battle between the two sides continued from morning until evening. Not only were their Huan Army unable to reach the head of the Xixiao Pass city, they had also suffered heavy casualties. In the end, Xiong Feiyi had no choice but to call for reinforcements.

Not only did they not succeed, they even lost more than 20,000 men. When Xiong Fei and Xiong Yi saw Lu Chen, Jin Sheng and Jiang Yang, they could not even raise their heads up.

Lu Chen did not want to be too protective of his subordinates, so he reprimanded the two of them in public. After that, he, Jin Sheng and Jiang Yang made a plan and decided to let their main forces attack the city tomorrow morning. Xixiao Pass was the last barrier preventing them from returning to their hometown, so even if there were a lot of servants, they had to beat the crap out of them.

The next day, the siege battle that was personally presided over by Lu Chen, Jin Sheng and Jiang Yang started. The onslaught of six hundred thousand strong army made it so that nothing else but Huan Army could be seen.

Looking around, wherever his gaze passed, there were all kinds of Huan Army troops. They covered the sky, and had no boundaries, and before he even started his attack, just their terrifying auras were enough to make any opponent's heart break.

The Ann Army within the Xixiao Pass had already turned deathly pale from fright, and their legs were trembling. If not for Pingyuan Army, they probably would have already surrendered.

In the face of so many enemies, it would be a lie to say that he was not afraid. However, the fundamental difference between Feng Army and Feng Army is that the latter would usually become chaotic without fighting. The former, on the other hand, would be able to become stronger in the face of strong enemies.
