When the Ning general saw this, he shivered in fright and involuntarily took two steps back. There were only a few Ning soldiers left to protect him. His eyes were full of fear, and even the hand holding the weapon was trembling.
Shangguan Yuanrang slowly walked toward the other party, and the distance between the two parties got closer and closer. Soon, he was only five steps away from Ning Bing. He didn't know whether it was because he was forced to the point of no return or because he was too frightened.
Crazy, the Ning soldiers around Ning Jiang suddenly roared, and they all rushed towards Shangguan Yuanrang.
However, their culling was like moths rushing to a flame. They saw the cold light flickering on the field, blood arrows shooting out, and screams coming and going...
thump!
The last Ning soldier also fell under Shangguan Yuanrang's spirit sword. He looked around at the corpses on the ground, and finally his eyes fell on the face of that Ning general, and said coldly: "Your Excellency, now it is your turn to take action!
"
Gulu! Ning Jiang swallowed hard. He grasped the spirit knife tightly, gritted his teeth and asked, "Who are you?"
"General Feng Shang - Shangguan Yuan Rang!" When Shangguan Yuan Rang announced his life, he was already approaching General Ning.
Shangguan Yuanrang? Hearing this name, Ning Jiang's face suddenly changed. Wasn't Shangguan Yuanrang shot to death by Peng Heyi's arrow? Why is he still standing here? What is going on? He can't figure out the reason.
, Shangguan Yuanrang didn't give him any extra time to think carefully. Seeing the other party walking in front of him, Ning Jiang suddenly became anxious and slashed Shangguan Yuanrang's head with his spiritual sword.
His cultivation level is not weak, and the force of his full-strength sword is also very frightening. Shangguan Yuanrang does not dodge or evade, and raises his spiritual sword to block the opponent's heavy sword. Danglanglang! The collision between the sword and the sword caused sparks to fly.
No matter how high it rises, the spiritual pressure spreading outwards stirs up the dust on the ground, making even the earthen walls on the left and right sides of the alley tremble.
After the two sides exchanged blows head-on, Shangguan Yuanrang stood still and did not move. Ning Jiang, who had taken the initiative to attack, was shocked and took two big steps back. His arms were numb and his jaw hurt. Shangguan Yuanrang sneered and said: "Your Excellency
It's nothing more than that, you should give me a move and try it!" As he spoke, he waved the sword in his hand outwards, and a half-moon-shaped spiritual wave swept towards General Ning.
This spiritual wave makes a hissing sound as it flies, causing the surrounding air to fluctuate wherever it passes. An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action. Just by looking at its sound, Ning Jiang will know that this spiritual wave is definitely not
He could block it. He didn't have time to think about it, and instinctively jumped into the air to dodge this powerful spiritual wave.
The spiritual wave almost flew past the soles of his feet. Just when his rising figure was about to fall back to the ground, he didn't expect that the spiritual wave that had passed by suddenly turned around and reflected back. Until this moment, Ning
Only then did the general realize that what Shangguan Yuanrang released was not an ordinary spiritual wave, but the spiritual martial arts skill Spiritual Cut and Return.
But it was too late for him to realize this at this time. He heard a thumping sound in his ears, and Ning was hit by the spirit wave that was turned back on his waist. His spiritual armor was shattered, and his body was also hit by this mark.
Lingbo cut him off at the waist, and his upper body fell to the ground, but his lower body was still standing on the ground.
Phew! After killing General Ning with one move, Shangguan Yuanrang also let out a long sigh. No matter how deep his spiritual energy was, after such a long period of continuous fighting, the spiritual energy consumption was extremely serious. Just when he was about to lean against the wall to rest for a while.
After a while, I heard the sound of footsteps from both ends of the alley. Not long after, a large group of people came running towards the entrance and end of the alley.
These people were neither Ning Jun nor Feng Jun. They were all dressed as ordinary people, and the weapons they held in their hands were all kinds of, including sticks, rakes and even brooms. Shangguan Yuanrang almost laughed angrily, but before he could speak,
, the common people screamed first: "Wind thief! There is a wind thief here! Come and kill the wind thief!"
Following the shouts of the people, the people rushed forward and rushed towards Shangguan Yuanrang with all their weapons held high. When they got close, sticks and iron rakes were thrown at him.
Since these people were the common people of Ning State, not Ning's army, Shangguan Yuanrang had no murderous intention at all, but the common people refused to let go and beat him endlessly. Although the wooden sticks and iron rakes hit the body without pain or itching,
He was also very annoying. Shangguan Yuanrang had a bad temper. How could he stand this? His anger was quickly aroused. With his head lowered, he suddenly shouted and waved the spiritual sword in his hand. He only swept out three
However, a large area of the people surrounding him who were beating him were chopped down. The remaining people were stunned for a few seconds, and then screamed like slaughtering pigs. Instead of running away, they became even more crazy and careless.
When Shangguan Yuanrang was beaten, the latter kept doing nothing but killing the common people of Ning who did not pose much of a threat.
The alley turned into a living hell on earth, with piles of corpses and rivers of blood. The ground and walls seemed to have been painted with red paint. The siege turned into a difficult street battle, and the battle also reached a stalemate. The wind
The army was strong in close combat, brave and good at fighting, but they did not know the terrain of Fengcheng well enough. Since there were many Ning soldiers and many Ning people secretly assisted them, they were naturally at home. However, even so, they did not dare to compete head-on with the Feng army.
Both sides have their own strengths and weaknesses, and the battle has become increasingly bloody and tragic.
Shangguan Yuanrang only focused on cleaning up the Ning troops in the city, but neglected one important thing, which was to control the city gate. There are only 10,000 Ning troops left in the city, and another 90,000 went out to chase the Sanshui army, but that did not
It doesn't mean they won't come back.
Yan Zui and Wang Yi commanded the main force of the Ning Army and went to chase the retreating Sanshui Army. Twenty miles away from Fengcheng, they finally caught up with the Sanshui Army. At this time, Liang Qi sent an order
, the whole army's rear team changed into the front team, turned back, and faced Ning's army.
Yan and Wang thought that Shangguan Yuanrang had been hit by an arrow, and the Feng army was in retreat, and its morale must be low. They didn't think much about it, and ordered the entire army to form a formation to attack.
As soon as the two sides fought, they suddenly discovered that the morale of the Feng Army was not low, but their fighting spirit was high. When the Ning Army started shooting arrows, the Feng Army immediately began to fire back. When it came to facing the archery formation, the two sides almost fought.
The battle was evenly matched, but in the ensuing close combat, the disadvantages of the Ning Army's close combat were immediately revealed. The two sides did not fight for long, and the two regiments of the Ning Army in front failed to hold on, and a large number of soldiers retreated backwards.
Seeing this, Wang Yi secretly screamed something bad. Even though Shangguan Yuanrang was not in the Feng Army's camp, the Feng Army's combat effectiveness was still formidable and his own side did not have the upper hand in terms of numbers. It was obviously unwise to compete with them.
.
Wang Yi did not dare to delay, and immediately proposed to Yan Zui that the entire army retreat without engaging in hand-to-hand combat with Feng's army. At this time, Yan Zui also saw that his side did not have the advantage, so he immediately adopted Wang Yi's advice and ordered the entire army to retreat while fighting.
The rear army suppressed the opponent with an arrow array to prevent the wind army from taking advantage of the victory to pursue their own side.
It can be said that Ning's army retreated as soon as the two sides fought. However, Ning's army's retreat was not a retreat, so the retreat was very organized. The entire camp was not chaotic at all. When the front army retreated, the rear army stayed still and formed an arrow formation.
Suppress the wind army. When the front army retreats behind the rear army, the front army becomes the rear army and continues to suppress the enemy with arrow arrays. The original rear army puts away their bows and arrows and retreats quickly. This is similar to a wheel.
The retreat prevented the pursuers from finding any opportunities to take advantage of them, nor did they gain much advantage.
Liang Qi, who was commanding the battle in the center of the Sanshui Army, secretly nodded. Although the Ning Army was weak in close combat, its overall strength should not be underestimated, especially since the opponent's commander must be a general who had experienced hundreds of battles.
Since the Ning army retreated without chaos, he was not in a hurry to pursue the enemy. He sent an order to the entire army to follow the Ning army at a short distance. As Liang Qi's order was conveyed, the Sanshui army retreated from Tongmen to its original position.
When we returned from the road, the soldiers below were a little confused. They couldn't figure out what the commander above was going to do. Was he to retreat or to fight?
Liang Qi was not in a hurry and led the entire army to follow Ning Jun slowly. However, Bai Yong, the deputy commander of the Sanshui Army, could not bear it any longer. He urged his horse to come to Liang Qi and asked tentatively: "General, look at Ning Jun."
It looks like they are retreating towards Fengcheng?!"
"That's right." Liang Qi said with a smile: "The Ning army can only withdraw from Fengcheng!"
"But... but according to time calculation, General Yuan Rang should have entered Fengcheng by now. General Yuan Rang only has two thousand cavalry under his command. Once the 80,000 to 90,000 Ning troops withdraw, General Yuan Rang and the two thousand soldiers will be fierce.
No luck!"
Liang Qi suppressed his smile and said expressionlessly: "We can catch up with the enemy now and have a head-on confrontation. However, if this happens, the enemy will lose one thousand and I will lose eight hundred. By then our army will have no idea how many brothers will be killed or wounded.
It is better to let the Ning army retreat to Fengcheng, and our army can cooperate with Yuan Rang inside and outside, so that our army can have an absolute advantage in terms of tactics and morale, and the losses can be minimized."
Bai Yong smiled bitterly. It sounds easy to say, but how can it be so easy to do? He said worriedly: "General Yuan Rang only has two thousand subordinates. I'm afraid... as soon as the main force of Ning's army withdraws..." Shangguan Yuan Rang will lose this point.
People were trampled flat! He didn't say the second half of the sentence directly, but the meaning was already obvious.
Liang Qi shrugged helplessly, turned his head, looked at Bai Yong, and said with a smile: "If that's the case, Yuan Rang can only blame himself for his short life, and God is jealous of talents!"
Phew! Bai Yong almost choked on his own saliva. What are you talking about? It's obvious that you didn't save him when you saw the danger! Bai Yong's mouth moved, but in the end he didn't speak. He has been Liang Qi's deputy for a long time.
, I know Liang Qi’s character very well. Although Liang Qi is usually very easy-going and low-key, he is dark-hearted on the battlefield! His dark-heartedness is not only towards the enemy, but also towards his own people. As long as he can win, as long as he can win with
The smallest price is the greatest victory, and no matter who it is, he can sacrifice it.
He knew clearly that Shangguan Yuanrang would be in danger if the main force of the Ning army retreated to Fengcheng, but Liang Qi did not intend to hold back the Ning army. It was not that he deliberately wanted to kill Shangguan Yuanrang, but in his opinion, even if there were hundreds of enemy troops,
With a crowd of tens of thousands, Shangguan Yuanrang can still run away if he can't fight them. As for the two thousand cavalry below, it's really a matter of life and death, and he can't control that much anymore.
