The explosion of the two internal energies pushed the nearby soldiers of the Jin Army several ters back and severely injured them.
"Ah!"
"Cough!"
While the Jin Army’s soldiers were injured by the internal energy collision, Zhan Qi and the vice general were locked in a fierce fight.
Standing amidst the swirling dust, Zhan Qi couldn’t see far. Frowning slightly, he closed his eyes and focused his hearing on the surrounding sounds.
While Zhan Qi was locating the vice general, the vice general spotted an opportunity. Without wasting ti, he kicked off the ground and rushed toward Zhan Qi.
As his sword aid at Zhan Qi’s chest, it emitted a cold, murderous aura.
A second before the vice general’s sword pierced Zhan Qi’s heart, Zhan Qi leaned backward. Opening his eyes, he locked gazes with the vice general who was passing him mid-air.
When the vice general flew past him, Zhan Qi used his palm to support his body and kicked the vice general into the air.
Bam!
"Ugh!"
Losing his montum, the vice general looked down—only to see Zhan Qi already closing in, his spear aid at his throat.
Stab!
"Cough!"
Drip... drip... drip...
With his spear piercing through the vice general’s throat, Zhan Qi swung his weapon downward and threw him heavily to the ground.
Boom!
Landing lightly beside the vice general’s body, Zhan Qi looked down. Seeing the vice general had died with eyes wide open, he turned away and whistled.
Pwi~ wiit~!
The next mont, his war horse rushed toward him. Lightly kicking the ground, Zhan Qi mounted in one smooth motion.
Flicking the blood off his spearhead, he charged back into the battle.
With the death of the vice general, the remaining infantry soldiers of the Jin Army had no chance against Zhan Qi’s two thousand cavalry.
While Zhan Qi and his team were harvesting the lives of Jin Army soldiers at the frontline, Ding Zhenshun and Fan Wanming were closing in on the Jin Army’s main force at great speed.
When they were just five hundred ters away, the soldiers and captains of the Jin Army looked down. Feeling the ground tremble slightly, they glanced around vigilantly.
The mont their eyes caught the rising dust in the distance, horror dawned on their faces. Before long, the silver armor glistened under the night sky and ca into their sight.
"It’s the Feng Army!" shouted one of the captains.
As soon as his words fell, panic spread. In an instant, their neat formation collapsed into chaos.
Seeing this, Ding Zhenshun’s eyes lit up. Raising his left arm, he pulled the string of the handbow mounted on it.
Swish~! Swish~! Swish~!
Three arrows shot out instantly, killing the captain and two soldiers behind him.
"Ugh!"
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Without giving the Jin Army soldiers a chance to react, Ding Zhenshun’s n raised their left arms and pulled the trigger of their handbows.
Swish~! Swish~! Swish~! Swish~!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
In less than thirty seconds, hundreds of Jin soldiers lay dead with short arrows stuck in their foreheads or chests.
With their preemptive strike successful, the morale of the Feng Army soared. Accelerating his warhorse, Ding Zhenshun commanded, "Break their formation!"
Following his command, five thousand soldiers of the Feng Army ran faster and rushed forward.
"Charge!"
Snapping out of their shock, the Jin Army captains and soldiers hastily drew their weapons to fight back.
"Kill!"
At the sa ti, on the right wing of the Jin Army, Fan Wanming and his n were already deep in battle.
Watching everything from the top of the city wall, Feng Xiyan’s lips curved faintly.
Standing beside him, Xue Ruhong said, "Great General, it looks like General Fan and General Ding have broken the Jin Army’s formation."
Feng Xiyan nodded. Looking at Xue Ruhong, he said, "General Xue, the rest will be left to you."
Xue Ruhong clasped his fists and responded, "This subordinate accepts the order."
Accepting the order, he descended from the city wall.
Not long after, the Gate Captain of the southern city gate commanded, "Open the gate!"
Following his order, the soldiers pushed the massive gate open.
Creak~!
When the city gate was fully opened, Xue Ruhong led five thousand elite soldiers of the Feng Army out of the city. Taking a detour, they rushed toward the rear of the Jin Army’s formation.
Unaware of the chaos behind them, Sun Heng gritted his teeth furiously when he saw Zhan Qi and his two thousand cavalry soldiers had already killed more than fifteen thousand Jin Army soldiers.
While he was thinking of how to break through Zhan Qi’s defense, one of the vice generals clasped his fists and said, "General Sun, this subordinate is willing to face the enemy! Please let this subordinate fight them!"
After witnessing Zhan Qi’s skills just now, Sun Heng knew that none of his vice generals stood a chance against Zhan Qi.
Clenching the horse reins tightly, Sun Heng said, "No. You are not his match."
Hearing this, the vice general could only lower his head in sha. "This subordinate is useless!"
Raising his hand to stop the vice general, Sun Heng said, "It’s not you who is useless. It’s Feng Xiyan’s subordinates who are too strong."
Knowing the enemy and knowing himself was Sun Heng’s life motto. Thanks to this, he had survived countless wars and returned alive.
Based on his years of battle experience, Sun Heng’s instinct told him that he couldn’t win this war.
After thinking for a mont, Sun Heng commanded, "Sound the retreat."
The mont he said that, the vice generals exclaid in unison, "General Sun, please reconsider!"
Sun Heng glanced at them and coldly ordered, "Retreat."
Sensing his displeasure, the three vice generals could only clasp their fists and respond, "Yes, General Sun."
Turning to one of the soldiers, a vice general instructed, "Signal the retreat!"
"Yes, Vice General." Accepting the order, the soldier waved his red flag with the Jin Army’s insignia embroidered on it.
When the drumrs saw the flag signal, they changed the rhythm of the war drums.
Dum~! Dum! Du~ Dum~! Dum~! Dum! Du~ Dum~!
