Chapter 201 Jinyang City

Chapter 201 Jinyang City

After setting off, General Mao did not hide his whereabouts because there was no way to hide.

They wanted to make another night march, but unfortunately, after suffering a loss last time, Joe Lynch sent out a lot more forwards to follow them.

Even if they traveled at night again, they would be discovered soon.

If that is the case, why should they move forward with smear campaigns?

After General Mao and his men set off, Qiao Lingqi soon received the news.

Qiao Linqi said with a serious expression.

"It seems they want to fight us to the death this time."

"General, our current military strength is no longer comparable to theirs?"

A deputy general said with some concern.

"What are you afraid of? All these years of training for the soldiers weren't in vain. We've defeated the enemy with fewer troops before."

Although Qiao Linqi said this, he was still a little panicked.

After all, both Xuanyuan Xingyao and General Mao are good at leading troops.

Xuanyuan Xingyao likes to do things against the rules.

Qiao Linqi still doesn't have a thorough understanding of Xuanyuan Xingyao's fighting style.

"Assemble the troops and prepare for battle. Also, pack up the tents first."

This is a battle near the camp. What if some powerful move destroys the tent?

There was one point that Qiao Linqi did not say, which was that if the outcome of the battle was not ideal, they could retreat quickly.

Although he didn't want to go to that step, Qiao Linqi had to be fully prepared.

At Qiao Lingqi's command, the entire camp quickly took action.

The soldiers began to gather at the gate of the camp, while the soldiers in charge of logistics began to dismantle the tents.

A general in charge of logistics management also collected the remaining food and grass using a space ring.

When Xuanyuan Xingyao and his men arrived, what awaited them were the Fit soldiers who were already on high alert, and the empty camp behind them.

After the two armies met, no one spoke, they just looked at each other quietly.

After a while, it was unclear who raised their hand first, or if they raised their hand together and then lowered it together.

After the two armies collided, General Mao immediately discovered that Fate's side had used the formation again. There was a small formation between each team, and then the teams were combined into a large formation, which was linked together.

Once General Mao's men met Fate's men, they would be quickly scattered by them.

Even though they were tightly packed together at the beginning, Fate's team would help each other and disperse Shui Ling's originally neat team.

When Xuanyuan Xingyao arrived, the war was already coming to an end.

The next two times, Xuanyuan Xingyao used strategies, and Fate didn't even have the chance to use the formation.

Therefore, this can be said to be the first time that Xuanyuan Xingyao saw with his own eyes what Fate's formation was like.

I have to say, it is indeed amazing. The most important thing is that even if the formation of Fate's side is broken, they can still regroup with others.

It can be said that unless all the soldiers are killed, this formation can never be broken.

"Snow Feather, snow-colored earth."

Xuanyuan Xingyao gave orders to the Ice Phoenix Demon Luan in the sky.

After hearing Xuanyuan Xingyao's order, the Ice Phoenix Demon Luan raised its head and let out a crisp cry. Then it opened its beak and a snow-white mist floated out and landed on the ground.

The originally green grass soon turned into a vast expanse of snow.

The sudden drop in temperature made the ordinary soldiers subconsciously slow down a little.

Because Xuanyuan Xingyao asked the Ice Phoenix Demon Luan to deliberately cover Fate's side with snow, so they themselves were not in any trouble at all.

As soon as the soldiers on Fate's side slowed down, Shui Ling sped up the attack.

But it only lasted a moment, and Joe Lynch on Fate's side quickly counterattacked.

Fate also has several fire magicians on his side, and Qiao Linqi asked them to take action to dissolve the snow on the ground.

In addition, although they do not have summoners, they do have several generals who have tamed magical beasts as pets.

Following Qiao Linqi's order, several generals released their magical pets.

But Fate has a magical pet, but Shui Ling doesn’t have one?

As soon as Fate's magical pet appeared, General Mao released his own magical pet first without waiting for Nangong Jing to summon the monsters.

The huge battlefield was forced to open up a small battlefield, and the magical pets fought each other in this small battlefield.

Compared to the wars between humans, the wars between monsters are more bloody, with magic and force attacks all combined, and it feels like blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Xuanyuan Xingyao had originally wanted to use the Ice Phoenix Demon Luan to freeze the soldiers on Fate's side in order to break their formation, but his plan was broken by the fire magician.

So Nangong Jing released the Snow Dragon Ape, Tongtian Tiger, and Yan.

After being released, they don't need to use any magic, they just rely on their physical bodies to charge around.

In a nutshell, find a way to disrupt Fate's formation and don't give the soldiers a chance to gather.

Three monsters against an army of 100,000, the difference in numbers is extremely huge.

But the monsters are huge in size, even the smallest one is several meters long.

Nangong Jing didn't want them to wipe out the 100,000-strong army, he just wanted them to scatter them.

As a result, the Fit army, which should have had the upper hand, fell into a disadvantage.

Because the three-headed monster had no magic to use, it just rushed in and caused all kinds of trouble.

Also, because the three-headed monster was always among the soldiers, the magicians and warriors couldn't attack Yan and the others. If they were not careful, they would hurt their own people. It can be said that they were in a very passive position.

This is exactly the effect Nangong Jing wanted. Even if Yan and the others could not disperse all the teams, or if some people were dispersed and ran away, they could regroup as soon as possible, but it would be enough.

After the soldiers were scattered, General Mao and several generals would personally lead the soldiers to attack. Even if they could not kill them all, they would kill as many as they could.

At the beginning, the two sides were a little unfamiliar with each other, but later they cooperated more and more tacitly, and the soldiers on Fate's side began to fall one by one.

On the battlefield, the soldiers are fine, as most of them are close combatants.

But the magicians only attack from a distance, and they cannot use large-scale magic, otherwise they will hurt their own people.

Therefore, they could only watch their own people being killed, and at most they could only cast some low-level magic. They clearly had the ability to save people, but they could do nothing. It was so frustrating.

Qiao Lingqi guessed General Mao's intention when he saw all his troops coming out.

At the beginning, Qiao Lingqi was disdainful, wondering how he could be forced to retreat by General Mao and his men.

But now, Qiao Linqi had to admit that he had underestimated his opponent.

However, Qiao Linqi did not think that the reason he lost was because he was not as skilled as his opponent, but because Xuanyuan Xingyao was too cunning.

Moreover, the number of their magical beasts was too small, and the magicians could not fully display their skills. Otherwise, with their tacit understanding and military strength, how could they be defeated by Shui Ling?

"retreat."

Although he was very unwilling, Qiao Linqi knew that continuing to fight would be even more disadvantageous to them.

"General!!!"

A deputy general looked at Qiao Lingqi in disbelief, as if questioning how he could order a retreat.

"Once the reinforcements arrive, we will wash away today's shame."

Retreating at this time does not mean retreating a little, but retreating out of the scope of Jinyang City.

This was also a great humiliation for Qiao Linqi, but what else could he do if he didn't retreat? As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

The deputy general obviously didn't want to retreat yet, but as he watched more and more soldiers fall to the ground, he gritted his teeth and roared.

"retreat!!!"

The generals who were fighting bloody battles, upon hearing the loud shout of retreat, all subconsciously glared at the deputy general who gave the order.

But they soon realized that the deputy general could not act on his own, which means that it was Qiao Linqi who gave the order.

Although they were unwilling, Qiao Lingqi had already given the order and they had no choice but to retreat.

General Mao was delighted to see Fate's side retreating, but he did not stop killing immediately. Instead, he continued to kill many soldiers and even led his troops to pursue them for a distance.

General Mao stopped pursuing Fate until he retreated to a place fifty miles away from Jinyang City.

By this time, both sides had almost tacitly agreed to a temporary truce.

Fate's side is short of troops and is powerless.

Shui Ling has the help of Long Ying, so the military force is sufficient, but it is still a bit difficult to drive Fate out of Shui Ling's range and recapture all the cities.

The most likely outcome is that both sides will suffer losses. It is already very good that we can recapture Jinyang City now.

Fate is waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and Shui Ling is doing the same.

General Mao didn’t know that the Longying Empire had sent troops, so he sent a memorial to King Shuiling asking for help.

After Xuanyuan Xingyao and his men arrived, Shui Ling actually received another 100,000 reinforcements. In addition to the troops, there was also a batch of supplies, but they are still on the way.

So, both sides are waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and only after the reinforcements arrive will a new round of war begin.

Looking at Jinyang City, which he had "abandoned" and now finally returned to the land of Shuiling, General Mao felt mixed emotions.

Now that Jinyang City has been recaptured, the army naturally can no longer stay in Yangcheng.

However, Jinyang City is much smaller than Yangcheng, so most of the troops were stationed outside the city.

Then, just in case, the 10,000 troops left behind to guard Yangcheng must also be transferred back to Jinyang City.

As long as Jinyang City is not forced again, there will be no problem with Yangcheng. Although 10,000 troops are not many, they are also very important at critical moments.

In addition, Jinyang City fell into the hands of Fit during this period. Although Fit might not burn, kill or loot, the people still lived in fear for a while.

The most important thing is that General Mao had abandoned these common people, abandoned Jinyang City, and fled to Yuyang City.

The people of Jinyang City must be resentful, and General Mao must appease them.

All these things weighed on General Mao's shoulders, and he had almost no time to rest.

However, these have nothing to do with Xuanyuan Xingyao's affairs. This is the business of the Shuiling Kingdom, and Xuanyuan Xingyao, the prince of the empire, has no right to interfere in the affairs of the Shuiling Kingdom.

Therefore, when General Mao was busy and exhausted, Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing lived a very comfortable life.

Because of the war, many street vendors were hiding at home, but there was no one who was not doing business. The two of them walked around and walked around. It took them several days to visit some of the interesting places in Jinyang City.
