Reaching here, Zi Ying gasped. He turned his horse around and quickly walked to the side of the road. Jiang Fan, Zhan Hu and the other generals did not understand what was going on and anxiously followed. Both sides of the road were slanted upwards with a slight slope, Zi Ying urged his horse to go up for a bit, then looked ahead, reined his reins, and frowned even more.

Seeing that he was so worried, Zhan Hu asked: "General Zi Ying, what's wrong?"

Zi Ying looked at the people around him gravely and said: "Look, on the official road here, the two sides are high, the center is low, if enemy forces were to set up an ambush on both sides, and rush down from the high ground, my army might not be able to resist."

Attacking from above was naturally twice the result with half the effort. Furthermore, he had the big fog as cover, which made Zi Ying the most worried.

Zhan Hu smiled indifferently, and said: "General Zi Ying, you are overthinking things. Right now, with the fog descending from the sky, our army will not be able to detect our enemies, and our enemies will definitely not be able to. How could we suddenly ambush them on the side of the road?"

His words were not without reason, but Zi Ying's heart was still in turmoil, it was difficult for him to calm down. The Hedong Region was a flat plain, and there were very few places that could be set up.

He led the generals down the gentle slope and returned to the army. Then, he passed down the order, and the entire army rapidly advanced. They had to quickly leave this place.

A hundred thousand strong army would bring a lot of equipment and supplies. Adding to the mud on the road, even the speed of Heavenly Eagle Army would not be able to speed up. Just as the frontline of Heavenly Eagle Army was about to exit this depression, all of a sudden, the rear forces were thrown into chaos, and following that, shouts of battle sounded everywhere, filling the sky.

Zi Ying who was in the middle did not understand what was going on, he anxiously sent people to investigate, to find out what was going on with the troops behind them. He had just sent out his spies when a Feng Soldier rider ran over from his horse, and with much difficulty found where Zi Ying was. He urged his horse to rush forward, and jumped off his horse, and anxiously shouted out: General, something bad happened!

"What?" Without waiting for Zi Ying to speak, Zhan Hu let out a strange cry, raised his gigantic hammer, and said: "General Zi Ying, I'll go meet the enemy!" Finished speaking, he ran towards the back with big steps. Afraid that it would be a loss for Zhan Hu to fight alone, Jiang Fan also quickly followed. Seeing that the other generals were also going to follow, he turned his head and said: "You all stay here and protect General Zi Ying.

Jiang Fan was extremely meticulous thinking. He was very clear that if the rear guards were to be ambushed, they would at most lose some soldiers and supplies. However, if the center troops were to be ambushed again, Zi Ying's situation would fall to the brink of collapse.

At this time, the rear guard of Heavenly Eagle Army had already turned into a mess. It was just that there were not many people lying in ambush. With around three thousand or so people, this little bit of manpower was obviously unable to stop the tip of the one hundred thousand Heavenly Eagle Army. Ning Army deliberately let the frontline and the centre of the Heavenly Eagle Army pass through this area, and when the rear troops were about to pass through the ambush point, Ning Army launched a surprise attack.

Before launching their sneak attack, they first ignited these dozens of giant balls made of vines and pushed them down the slope, the faster they rolled the balls burning with flames. Because of the thick fog blocking their line of sight, Feng Army only heard the faint, strange buzzing coming from both sides, and did not clearly see what was approaching, and when people saw the dozens of giant balls approaching with rolling smoke, it was already too late to dodge.

Many of the Feng Army s who could not dodge in time were hit by the fireballs, causing their clothes and leather armour to ignite immediately. Even if they were not crushed to death by the fireballs, they were still burnt to death by the raging flames, allowing countless Feng Soldier s whose bodies were covered in flames to roll all over the ground, as they cried out in pain from the flames.

This was the prelude to Ning Country's ambush. Following that, a dense barrage of rockets descended from the sky, and Feng Soldier who was unaffected by the fireballs intended to line up to deal with the enemy in the fog, but before the group managed to stand properly, they were shot like a hedgehog by the rockets. They died a violent death.

Ning Jun's arrows continued to shoot out wave after wave, as if they were never going to stop. The Feng Army that wasn't well-prepared was shot out in rows after rows, causing people to look around dizzily. Before they could even discover the enemy, they would be shot down by the rockets. What was even worse was that the materials for the Feng Army were also affected by the rocket. Several Trebuchet s were hit by the arrows, and the flames were burning brighter and brighter.

The Feng Soldier was completely stunned by the sudden attack. The troops were not in a proper formation, and as such, just like a plate of loose sand, she was forced to run away on both sides. At this time, the three thousand Ning soldiers who were lying in ambush at the high ground finally rushed down, the momentum of their charge was like a thunderbolt, many of the Ning soldiers who did not manage to escape and were unable to defend themselves were directly struck onto the ground, unable to stand back up.

Some of them ran forward, some ran backwards, and some held on to the ground as if their life depended on it. The entire camp had lost their leader, and the soldiers below were all in their own battles, it was extremely chaotic.

Just as the troops behind them were struggling to defend and desperately protecting the army's supplies and food, Zhan Hu and Jiang Fan who had rushed over from the central army arrived. Before even reaching the battlefield, the two of them had met up with the Feng Soldier people below who were defeated. Seeing this, Zhan Hu was so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices, and shouted: "Why are you guys running? We will follow you and kill our way back! "

Seeing that Zhan Hu and Jiang Fan, the two Chief General s had arrived, the Feng Soldier s finally found their backbone, and their anxious emotions stabilized, everyone turned their heads, and the team in the back changed to follow Zhan Hu and Jiang Fan and started to fight back. When they arrived at the scene of the fierce battle, both Zhan Hu and Jiang Fan's hearts trembled.

There were corpses everywhere on the battlefield, the majority of them were from Feng Soldier. Some of them died from being shot by arrows, while some were burnt to death, their faces no longer recognizable.'s fury had directly struck his head, he roared towards the sky while dragging his huge hammer, and rushed towards the place with the most concentrated number of soldiers in the army of Ning.

The moment the two came into contact, Zhan Hu ruthlessly swung the huge hammer that had long been spirited. Weng! * The sound of the giant hammers hung in the air, causing the soldiers to feel suffocated. They instinctively used their spears to parry, but how could these ordinary weapons withstand the heavy blows of the giant hammers?

The weapons in Ning Jun's hands broke one by one, and before anyone could react, Zhan Hu's second heavy hammer arrived.

Just from one hammer strike, at least six or seven Ning Soldier s were swept away horizontally. While they were still in the air, blood was flowing out from their seven orifices. Zhan Hu's hammers did not stop for a moment, sending six or seven people flying, and then followed with several more hammers. The hammers were extremely powerful, enough to break bones and break tendons, and even the Ning Army Camp was thrown into chaos by Zhan Hu alone.

Zhan Hu was brave and fierce, the morale of the Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army below increased as they reorganized their troops, lined up their battle formations, and began to fight the Ning Army in close combat. Zhan Hu's bravery was needless to say, but Jiang Fan was a greater threat to the enemy during their battle. He would not act rashly, but once they were targeted by him, it was very difficult to survive. Moreover, the people he was targeting were either enemy generals, commanders or captains, who were all in charge of commanding the soldiers below to fight.

Jiang Fan was truly an outstanding Spirit Cultivator of Dark, using Shadow Shift like fire and blue, and now that it was filled with fog and the sky was dark, he was like a fish swimming in water, wandering within the enemy camp, as though he was in a place devoid of humans. Where he appeared, there would always be sharp screams, the wails of a leader of the Ning army before his death.

Under the lead of Zhan Hu and his two generals, the Feng Army gradually stopped its defeat and quickly turned the situation. Very quickly, it took the initiative to change its direction on the battlefield.

Seeing that the Feng Army had completely calmed down from the panic from being ambushed and was starting a sharp counterattack, the two General of Ning Country s responsible for the sneak attack looked at each other and said at the same time, "Let's go!"

The two shared the same opinion. They turned their horses around and retreated to the side of the road. At the same time, they gave the order for the entire army to retreat.

Ning Jun's arrival and retreat came even faster. Along with the ringing of gold, the Ning Soldier that was fighting with the Feng Army began to retreat one after another, quickly disappearing into the fog.

Now, even if they wanted to retreat, Feng Army would not agree! Zhan Hu looked left and right, but was unable to find Jiang Fan. He then shouted to the surrounding Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army: "Brothers, don't let that thief Ning run away, follow me to kill him!"

"Kill —"

Zhan Hu was a brave warrior who fought ferociously, so naturally, he had a lot of prestige in the eyes of the soldiers.

The two General of Ning Country s from Ning Jun Army retreated the fastest, walking at the forefront. The two of them were both elderly people from Hedong County, and were too familiar with the terrain of this place. Even though they were covered in dense fog, they could still identify the direction, and they knew which direction was more suitable for losing the pursuit of Feng Army. Although they were retreating, and there were still Feng Army at the back that was like a wolf or tiger, the two General of Ning Country s were not nervous at all, and they rode their horses at a steady pace.

"General Zhang, should we directly withdraw our Provincial Capital or retreat to another place?" The General of Ning Country on the left asked casually.

"You and I have completed the mission given to us by our lord, but wouldn't it be better if we could contribute more?" The General of Ning Country surnamed Zhang said with a smile.

"General Zhang's meaning is …"

"Retreat south!"

"What about Nan? That's a swamp area! "

"That's right!" the Armadillo Swamp. " General of Ning Country Zhang laughed slyly: "Once we reach there, even you and I have to be careful and not take a wrong step, much less Feng Army who don't understand the terrain?! Think about it, once they follow us into the swamp, how many of them will be able to come out alive? Isn't this another great achievement?! "
