Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 537 Battle, Heavenly Thunder Strikes Earthly Fire
"Qin Feng's 50,000-strong army has not arrived in Wuchuan City!"

Xu Ning rushed to the city of Wuchuan without stopping, quickly found Xia Chuan and explained the situation, but the reply he received left him dumbfounded.

He was stunned for only a moment before he realized what was happening. His expression changed drastically as he looked at Xia Chuan, only to find that Xia Chuan's complexion was not much better than his.

Snap...

"Before the battle, each of the four armies was clearly equipped with three thousand yellow candles, yet Luo Yuan still fell for it. How did he become the marshal of the central route?"

Xia Chuan slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly from his chair.

Xu Ning said with a somber expression, "The scouts were too careless. The Wuchuan military camp is only two or three kilometers away from Donggu City. Commander Luo has been watching from the sky the whole time. Who knew that Cai Qiu and his gang could use such trickery right under his nose..."

“Stupid is stupid. Military affairs are of utmost importance and cannot be taken lightly. That is an army of 50,000. With the assistance of Cai Qiu’s top combat forces, it is enough to turn the tide of the battle. This is a very bad situation.”

Hearing Xia Chuan's serious tone, Xu Ning was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized what he meant and exclaimed, "They can't be..."

"No need to think about it, they must have advanced eastward to the pass. Right now, there are only two battlefields in the north. Cai Qianshan knows that even if Qin Feng's 50,000 troops return to Wuchuan City, it won't make a difference. Only by defeating the right wing of my Great Xia army and releasing Jinshan Town from the pass can he truly solve the predicament of Wuchuan City. What a shrewd Cai Qiu Fangbo! He really has a plan!"

Xu Ning's expression also turned much uglier instantly.

The right wing army under the pass only has 40,000 men. Once Qin Feng's 50,000 troops pass through, if Jinshan Town's 60,000 troops were to come out in full force, that would amount to a total of 110,000 men.

Although the right wing army has a lord in charge, Cai Qianshan is also there. Moreover, he saw the entire negotiation between the lord and Cai Qianshan last night. Cai Qiu is now determined to help Jinshan Wuchuan resist the Great Xia. Who knows how many people he will transfer from the vassal states?

In that case, Aikou City would be in danger!

"Quickly inform Luo Yuan that he need not come to Wuchuan City, but should immediately lead his troops eastward to reinforce the pass; also send people to Longgu and Yangqu respectively to inform Li Yangtian and Yuan Cheng to lead their troops to reinforce the pass at full speed, without delay."

"Subordinates take orders!"

Xu Ning immediately bowed and accepted the order. He was the war flag bearer, responsible for relaying military reports between the four armies. This was something he was supposed to do.

So, Xu Ning, who had just arrived at the foot of Wuchuan City, hadn't even exchanged a few words with Xia Chuan before turning around and flying away with Luo Yuan's army to the south.

"Minister Si, shall we continue to surround Wuchuan City?"

There were quite a few generals in the main tent at the moment. Seeing Xu Ning leave, Liu Yuan, the commander of the Yunjiao Army, immediately stepped forward and asked a question, his eyes full of eagerness.

When Xia Chuan met his gaze, she immediately guessed what he was thinking.

However, he did not speak, but turned his head to look at the other generals in the tent.

The 20,000 elite Xia troops besieging Wuchuan City consisted of eight numbered armies plus the Dragon Guards. Therefore, Liu Yuan, Zhou Yuan, Meng Yi, Zhao Long, Hou Tong, Mu Longhe, Mu Qinghe, and other Xianyang-level generals, including the Dragon Guard Commander Tie Xinchuan, were all present.

The crowd's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, clearly not taking Wuchuan's strong city defenses seriously. They would dare to attack the city walls as soon as Xia Chuan gave the order.

"no……"

Despite the intense fighting spirit of everyone, Xia Chuan shook his head after thinking it over.

"It's only just nightfall, and there are already 200,000 Earth-Digging Realm cultivators in Wuchuan City. Not to mention that Cai Qiu is determined to help them. Who knows if Cai Qiu has sent anyone into the city? With the lord away, we don't have a single high-end combatant. If 20,000 people rashly attack the city, the chances of winning are too small!"

"Minister Si, we can transfer Lord Yue's 10,000 troops here. Besides, Dongchuan City also has..."

"We've only been at the foot of Beishuo City for less than two days. We don't even know if the Yang clan members and Beishuo loyalists inside have been dealt with yet. Yue Feng can't be touched, and the 20,000 troops in Dongchuan City are even less of a threat. Cai Qiu is now determined to make his move. What's Chencang's reaction? Who..."

"Reporting to the Commander, there is an urgent military report from Dongchuan!"

Just as Xia Chuan was about to finish speaking, a hurried voice came from outside the tent.

"come on in!"

Xia Chuan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly gestured for the scout to come in.

A dusty scout rushed in from outside the tent. The situation was obviously too urgent. The scout even forgot to bow when he entered the tent. He cupped his hands to Xia Chuan and said directly, "Minister, the scouts on the north side of Danxue Peak have reported that a large number of spies from Chencang have entered the Blood Corridor to investigate. Yanling County has dispatched a large number of people to clear the snow path on the north side of the Blood Corridor."

Upon hearing this information, the expressions of everyone in the tent changed instantly.

Danxue Peak is located north of Dongchuan City. Behind the peak is the Nine-Bend Blood Corridor. Passing through the Nine-Bend Blood Corridor leads to Yanling County in Chencang.

A large number of spies entered the Blood Corridor to explore, and Yanling County also dispatched manpower to clear the snow roads, which was clearly in preparation for the march.

Chen Cang is about to enter the fray!

"This is the strongest warlord in the Mo'ao River region? They're taking advantage of our war with Caiqiu to steal our spoils. How despicable and shameless!"

"The lord said that the shrinking miasma is a dirty trick played by the monsters to incite infighting in our human camp. These two regional governors don't care at all; they're both going to send troops south."

"News has already come from the other side of the Bone-Eating Road. Cai Qiu's army is gathering in Changqing Valley and is expected to cross the Bone-Eating Road in as little as three days. Both vassal states have sent troops south."

………………

Upon learning that Chen Cang had dispatched troops south, the generals in the tent were quite agitated. Some shouted angrily, some had gloomy expressions, and others showed deep worry. Clearly, they were no longer optimistic about the upcoming battle.

Half an hour ago, the latest news from the right wing army was that the scouts that Yuwen Tao had placed opposite the Bone-Eating Road reported that Cai Qiu was already mobilizing a large army and preparing to head south through the Bone-Eating Road.

The scouts were planted by Yuwen Tao, so when Cai Qiu prepared to send troops south, the right wing army was naturally the first to receive the news.

Xia Hong was currently stationed at the Right Route Army, and he was the first to receive the news. The messenger from the Right Route Army had just brought Xia Hong's order, instructing Xia Chuan to continue drawing troops from within the Great Xia territory to reinforce the cities of Dongchuan and Jinyang.

Dongchuan and Jinyang were the first cities Chencang and Caiqiu entered from the south, respectively. So Xia Hong's intention was clear: to formally break with the two vassal states, even if it meant going to war.

This decision was, in a sense, quite bold.

Those are two major military regions; who knows how many people will come? Even if the Great Xia were to mobilize all the cold-resistant troops from the entire region, it would most likely still be unable to hold them off.

Why did the older brother still do that?

Xia Chuan's eyes flickered slightly; he actually had some guesses about Xia Hong's intentions.

The two vassal states are unlikely to invest heavily in the southern foothills region. After all, their biggest problem right now is not the Great Xia, but the Blood Miasma Plain. Moreover, last night, the eldest brother's first negotiation with Cai Qianshan at the pass city had already demonstrated enough strength to make the vassal states wary. If the two vassal states continue to increase their investment in the southern foothills region, it would clearly be a losing proposition.

It is certain that, given the current situation of the four vassal states of Mo'aochuan, Chencang and Caiqiu have no chance of joining forces. As long as this point is understood, and considering that the two vassal states will not invest too much in the southern foothills, then it can be basically confirmed that as long as the Great Xia shows sufficient determination, Chencang and Caiqiu will most likely back down.

"My elder brother has put on this show of force, probably to intimidate the two vassal states, making them hesitant to act rashly and abandon their plans for the southern border. Logically, this should be achievable, but nothing is absolute. Who knows what the two vassal states are really thinking? What if they actually launch a large-scale attack? We must be on guard..."

Xia Chuan pondered for a long time, and after slowly sorting out his thoughts, he looked at the generals in the tent and said in a deep voice: "Chen Cang and Cai Qiu's troops will be heading south, and it will be at least three days from now. I have already ordered Qiu Peng to mobilize all the garrison troops in the Great Xia territory to go north, totaling about 160,000. With the secret passage of Shuanglong Mountain and the advantage of terrain, we will definitely be able to get the army to the two cities of Jinyang and Dongchuan before the two vassal states. So there is no need to worry about the two vassal states for the time being. They may not really fight. Even if they do fight, 160,000 troops will be enough to stop them."

That last sentence should actually be questioned.

With the lord present, defending the vassal state is not a problem, but if the lord is not present, the situation is completely different.

After Xia Chuan finished speaking, he paused and continued, "The crux of the matter right now is Aikou City. As long as we take Aikou City before the armies of the two vassal states set foot on the southern slopes, Jinshan and Wuchuan will fall without a fight. At that time, even if the two vassal states want to fight us seriously, we will not be afraid."

The generals inside the tent weren't stupid; after a moment's thought, they immediately understood.

In short, the Xia Dynasty that conquered Jinshan and Wuchuan is a completely different concept from the Xia Dynasty that failed to conquer these two towns.

Caiqiu is now considering supporting Jinshan and Wuchuan because they still have the strength to resist; Chencang dares to openly march south because he sees that Daxia is at war with Caiqiu.

The pass is the gateway to Jinshan. Jinshan has committed all its troops to this pass. If this pass cannot be defended, the town will have no chance of being captured.

Qin Feng has now led another 50,000 troops to the pass, so all the anti-Xia forces in the north are currently concentrated here.

Therefore, the crux of the problem lies entirely in the narrow pass.

"Qin Feng's 50,000 troops are not fast enough to march as fast as Yuan Cheng and Li Yangtian's troops. Moreover, the lord is personally stationed at the pass. As long as the two troops can rush to the aid in time, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"Xu Ning has already informed Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan has changed his route and is heading east, which means he is following behind Qin Feng. If he dares to launch a surprise attack on the right wing, he will be courting death."

"Wu Chuan is not important right now; we just need to keep an eye on the pass."

"Minister Si, in that case, could we go and help out at the pass? After all, they're not attacking the city here anymore?"

………………

As everyone calmed down, Mu Longhe even took the initiative to suggest going to Aikou City to help.

Upon hearing this, the others were immediately intrigued and turned to look at Xia Chuan.

“If it were only a battle with Wuchuan, I would send you there myself. But now we are fighting with Caiqiu, and Chencang may also be watching from the shadows. So we can’t move rashly. Just stay here and keep an eye on things, and wait for news of the battle at the pass!”

Xia Chuan's vigilance was not without reason.

From the time he rushed back to Wuchuan City last night until now, about four hours have passed. He sensed the strange aura no less than twenty times, and the aura of the other party was very strong. It was easy to deduce that it was similar to Cai Qiuhu's, and that he was obviously a strong person in the Tribulation Realm.

There is a high probability that Cai Qiu is a Tribulation Realm expert within Wuchuan City!
A mere cultivator at the Tribulation Realm might not be able to influence a battle involving tens of thousands of people, but he can still bring about many variables. Moreover, his capture of Wuchuan City now will only drive Qin Feng's 50,000-strong army to hysteria, and will have no other effect.

He had previously considered whether to concentrate all the northern army here, capture Wuchuan City, and then use the families in the city to threaten Qin Feng's 50,000-strong army and force them to surrender.

But he quickly dismissed the idea. This plan would be easily exposed, and the biggest prerequisite was to ensure the successful capture of Wuchuan City.

Whether they can conquer it is still a question. If they do conquer it and Cai Qiu's people discover their scheme and cause some kind of public outrage, then Qin Feng's 50,000-strong army will probably fight the Great Xia to the death.

No need!
"With our elder brother personally overseeing things, the situation at Aikou City should be alright..."

………………

The speculations of the people inside Xia Chuan's tent were, undeniably, quite reasonable.

Qin Feng's 50,000-strong army advanced eastward ahead of schedule. Upon receiving the news, Luo Yuan immediately followed behind. Given the well-trained nature of the Xia army, it was possible that, while they might not catch up with them, they could at least keep a relatively short distance behind.

As for Li Yangtian and Yuan Cheng's two armies, they will definitely be able to reach the pass before Qin Feng, because Longgu and Yangqu are much closer to the pass than Donggu City.

The Xianyang-class aerial communication takes very little time. Even considering the time it takes for them to return with their messages, it can be inferred that the speed at which the two Xia army units reinforced the pass was definitely faster than Qin Feng's 50,000-strong army.

That's why Xia Chuan and the others concluded that nothing would happen in Aikou City.

However, the biggest basis for this conclusion is that Qin Feng's 50,000-strong army will arrive at the pass behind Yuan Cheng and Li Yangtian's two armies.

Unfortunately, this very vantage point became the problem!

"kill!"

"Kill them all..."

"Destroy the Xia army and rush to the aid of Wuchuan."

"With the help of the regional military governors, what do we have to fear?"

"The Wuchuan brothers have arrived! Brothers, follow me and we'll break out of the city!"

"Get rid of Xia Gou!"

"Trying to destroy Jinshan is wishful thinking!"

"The three towns of Longgu, Beishuo, and Yangqu have been destroyed. If we don't resist now, we'll all be dogs for the Xia people from now on. Brothers, if we don't fight now, when will we?"

"kill!" ………………

………………

The gates of Aikou City were already wide open, and hordes of Jinshan soldiers poured out, charging straight towards the Xia army camp outside the city. Countless arrows rained down, almost engulfing the Xia army camp.

To make matters worse, to the west of the Xia army's camp, another large army was charging in, unleashing a barrage of arrows that quickly covered the Xia army's camp.

With the armies from the east and west closing in, Yuwen Tao's right flank army was completely surrounded and cut off.

"The straight-line distance between Donggu and Aikou City is more than 110 kilometers. Normally, it would take at least half a day to march there. But with the help of the Divine Speed ​​Wind, we only took less than two hours. Xia Hong would never have imagined that Wu Chuan's 50,000 troops would come here. Great Xia is going to suffer a big setback."

"A mere town-level camp dares to challenge me, Caiqiu. Fangbo's willingness to cede Wuchuan is already a great favor to the Great Xia. Xia Hong is insatiable and even dreams of establishing his rule over the southern foothills. Dream on!"

"Shangguan Yang has already led his troops out to fight. No matter how strong the twelve Beast King level puppets are, they can't withstand the charge of 110,000 troops. First, wipe out the right flank of the Great Xia. When my Cai Qiu army marches south, we will make the Great Xia spit out all the three towns that it previously swallowed."

"Don't be careless. Xia Jun hasn't made a move yet. What's going on?"

"We arrived too quickly. Xia Hong is powerless to reverse the situation. What good is any commotion? These 40,000 Xia troops are already trapped like turtles in a jar!"

………………

At the very front of the Wuchuan army formation on the west side, Cai Qiuhong led a group of Xianyang-level soldiers, standing in mid-air. Looking down at the army below, which was less than a kilometer away from the Great Xia army camp, his pupils were filled with excitement.

However, a few people had a look of surprise on their faces.

Qin Feng is one of them.

Qin Feng was completely speechless at this moment. Except when he arrived two kilometers west of Xia Jun's army and Cai Qiuhong asked him to give orders to the army, he was basically just a figurehead.

But precisely because he wasn't involved in command, he was able to calm down and think things through.

Cai Qiu's swift and agile methods were indeed impressive. They could conceal the army's movements in the snowfield and greatly increase their marching speed, allowing them to reach the pass from Donggu City in just over an hour.

But even those methods weren't that extreme.

The Great Xia has been stationed in Aikou City for so many days, and there must be a lot of scouts around it. Although Cai Qiuhong ordered the Xianyang to disperse and find out a lot of Xia army scouts before the army arrived, surely not a single one was missed?
Even if we take a step back and assume that all the scouts were captured, it would be absurd that the Great Xia Dynasty didn't notice the snow fog zone created by the Divine Wind so close by.

Let alone Xia Hong, anyone with even a little experience in leading troops would be able to guess something was wrong when they suddenly saw such a large area of ​​snow and fog approaching.

Moreover, at this moment, Jinshan's army had already broken out of the pass city. His 50,000 troops were less than a kilometer away, and the iron arrows fired by the front-line soldiers had already poured into the area of ​​the Great Xia army's tents.

Xia Jun, why haven't we made a move yet?
Qin Feng frowned. If it weren't for his two-kilometer perception range, which allowed him to clearly sense that there were indeed a large number of soldiers inside the Great Xia army tent, he would have even suspected that Xia Hong had received advance notice and had already led his men away.

Faced with the onslaught from the armies on the east and west, the Great Xia army camp remained eerily quiet. Cai Qiuhong and the others in the sky showed no intention of stopping the army, their eyes fixed intently on the ground below, waiting for the army to officially charge into the Xia army camp area.

"You choose the path to heaven but refuse to take it, you barge into the gates of hell but choose to walk through them. Qin Feng, I used to think you were someone important, but now it seems you're just a complete fool. Cai Qiu is doing this risk-free business, and you're willing to risk the lives of 50,000 soldiers to fight alongside them!"

Just as the armies on the east and west sides were only one mile away from the Great Xia army camp, a furious yet mocking shout suddenly resounded throughout the entire area.

boom…………

Suddenly, a black shadow rose from the main tent area of ​​the Great Xia army camp. The shadow shot straight into the sky and suddenly expanded and grew larger hundreds of meters above the ground.

"唳……"

A sharp, piercing cry shook the entire area, and the black shadow in mid-air had already transformed into a giant, jet-black bird.

The bird resembled a black eagle, its entire body jet black, and its feathers, against the backdrop of the night, looked as sharp as blades. Its body was only a little over a hundred feet long, but when its wings were fully spread, they were about five hundred feet long, almost completely covering the area of ​​the Great Xia camp below. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as blotting out the sky and the sun.

"This is…………"

Qin Feng's expression froze instantly upon seeing the eagle-shaped cold beast.

Not only him, but all the other Xianyang-level warriors in Wuchuan are in the same situation.

However, Qin Feng was somewhat different from the others. After all, he had been to Mo Aochuan and had some understanding of the Five Elements Realm Beast King.

"Beast King... no, it's a Beast King-level puppet. Xia Hong has a Beast King-level puppet. How is that possible... how is that possible..."

Qin Feng immediately realized that the existence of Frost Beast Puppets in the Great Xia Dynasty was no secret in the Southern Foothills region, but how could a Beast King-level puppet be possible!

"The entire army..."

"Shut up! What are you afraid of, a mere Beast King puppet!"

Qin Feng was about to give orders to the Wuchuan army below, clearly having second thoughts, but he was interrupted by Cai Qiuhong's stern voice after only two words.

Seeing the warning in Cai Qiuhong's eyes gradually turn into killing intent, Qin Feng was shocked and quickly lowered his head to shout orders to the army below: "A few puppets are nothing to fear, all troops continue the charge!"

Qin Feng's specific situation was probably unknown to the Wuchuan army, but it must be said that he held a very high position in the hearts of his soldiers. With a single command, the army, which had slowed down somewhat, immediately surged forward again as if injected with adrenaline, continuing its charge toward the Xia army's camp area.

Meanwhile, the army inside the pass city finally reached the front of the Great Xia army camp, just over two hundred meters away.

"The vanguard charges, the central army controls the crossbows, and the rear guard fires arrows. Ignore the western flank, cut through the Jinshan bandits, and capture the pass city!"

Just as the front line of the Jinshan army entered within two hundred meters of the Great Xia army tent, Xia Hong, who was standing on the head of the Black Eagle puppet, finally spoke.

"Brothers, after holding back for so many days, the battle is finally starting!"

"Military merits, these are countless military merits, hahaha!"

"Kill! Slay the bandits of Jinshan and seize the pass!"

"We've been holed up in the city for so long, but we've finally come out. What can 110,000 troops do? The might of the Great Xia army is invincible! Charge!"

………………

The once calm and peaceful Great Xia military tent erupted in excited roars as soon as Xia Hong gave the order. From within the forty black military tents, countless Xia soldiers charged straight out to the east, their target the Jinshan army that had broken out of the pass city.

The Xia army was divided into three parts: front, middle, and rear. The front army was the fastest and had already engaged the Jinshan army in close combat. The middle army was smaller, with only about two thousand men. They were using 20 crossbows to advance eastward while simultaneously firing wildly westward toward the 50,000-strong army in Wuchuan. The rear army was firing powerful crossbows into the sky, and the arrows flew in arcs toward the rear ranks of the Jinshan army on the east side.

"Roar…………"

Ignoring the Wuchuan army on the west side, Xia Hong dared to say this because he had something to rely on.

As soon as the front ranks of the Wuchuan army stormed into the Great Xia camp, eight beast roars, powerful enough to shatter metal and split stone, rang out. Suddenly, the five black military tents at the very back of the Great Xia camp burst open, and eight powerful and majestic cold beasts pounced out from them.

When these eight beast kings first appeared, they were all less than a hundred meters long. But after a few roars, they quickly expanded to more than two hundred feet, like five thick copper and iron walls, directly blocking the front of the Wuchuan army.

boom…………

However, just as the eight Beast King puppets appeared, a gigantic azure hand that blotted out the sky suddenly slammed down from above.

That colossal palm, with its terrifying power, sent two Beast King-level puppets flying.

"You think you can turn the world upside down with just a few Beast King-level puppets!"

"Whether or not this can turn the tide, we'll have to wait and see, Cai Fangbo."

Above the Black Eagle's head, Xia Hong was slightly alarmed by Cai Qianshan's strength, but he naturally wouldn't show it at the moment. He let out a cold laugh and waved his hand sharply, and four beams of light immediately flew out from his sleeve.

"Roar…………"

The four beast kings reappeared, filling the gap created by Cai Qianshan's attack. Two of them even charged directly at Cai Qianshan, relentlessly entangled with him.

"Qiu Hong, Qiu Hu, Yu He, Qing Feng... lead everyone to entangle these puppets, open the passage, and let the Wu Chuan army charge into the Xia army!"

Fang Bo is indeed Fang Bo. When Cai Qianshan was entangled by two Twin Beast Kings, he not only did not show any fear, but instead let out a cold laugh, and actually landed in the middle of the twelve Beast King puppets, pulling the two Beast Kings back into the battle.

Then, at a command, Cai Qiuhong and the others in the sky immediately led their men down. A total of eight Tribulation Realm cultivators, plus more than a hundred Manifestation Realm cultivators, quickly and clearly divided their tasks to entangle the eight beast kings.

No, it should be the eight Tribulation Realm cultivators who are holding back the Beast Emperor. The remaining hundred or so Manifestation Realm cultivators have formed a military formation and, together with the eight Tribulation Realm cultivators, have been constantly splitting and widening the distance between the eight Beast Emperor puppets. They have quickly cleared several paths in the middle.

Those roads were naturally cleared for Wu Chuan's army.

With the help of Cai Qianshan and Cai Qiu, the twelve Beast King-level puppets were indeed entangled. Seeing the Wuchuan army appearing ahead, they immediately increased their speed and continued to attack the rear of the Xia army.

"Keep charging! Ignore the western army! Break through the Jinshan army, and we'll win!"

General Yuwen Yong, commander of the Second Battalion of the Right Route Army, was leading his troops in a charge at the front. He turned his head and glanced back, and saw that the Wuchuan army was about to make contact with the rear. His pupils narrowed slightly, and he slashed the two Jinshan soldiers in front of him with his broadsword. With a roar, he charged forward more than ten meters.

"Brothers, the lord's puppets are guarding the rear, don't be afraid!"

"The Jinshan army is useless; they can't stop us!"

"Charge forward, they can't stop us, hahaha..."

Yuwen Yong's angry shout gave the Xia army a boost of morale. As the soldiers charged, they shouted repeatedly. In less than a hundred breaths, the Xia army actually broke through the Jinshan army and pushed a gap in the gap. Led by Yuwen Yong and several Xianyang-level soldiers such as Hou Quan, they pushed in for three or four hundred meters.

………………

Keng!
"If they break through the Jinshan army, they will win. What does that mean?"

Qin Feng, mid-air, cleaved a crossbow bolt aimed at his face with his sword, then turned to look at the Great Xia vanguard army that was still charging forward, his pupils filled with surprise and confusion.

Suddenly, as if he noticed something, he looked down and carefully examined the Xia army's formation on the east side, his expression changing drastically.

"No, the Xia army's numbers are wrong. There are at most 20,000 men here..."

Yuwen Tao's right wing army numbered 40,000.

Half gone!
How is this going?

"Bang…………"

Just as confusion arose in Qin Feng's mind, a deafening roar suddenly came from the direction of Aikou City.

That's... the city gate of Aikou City?
The city gate has collapsed!
Qin Feng's pupils trembled uncontrollably; he could already see the terrifying figure of the Beast King behind the city gate.

Of course, it wasn't just the Beast King; the key point was that below that Beast King, there were tens of thousands of soldiers clad in golden armor.

A figure suddenly rose into the air from near the pass and city gate.

"All troops, listen to my command! Charge and kill the rear ranks of Jinshan's army!"

As the man gave the order, countless Xia soldiers clad in thunderous golden armor burst forth from the collapsed city gates like tigers released from their cages, charging straight towards the rear ranks of the Jinshan army.

The Jinshan army was currently engaged in fierce fighting with the Xia army on the west side, so they had no intention of paying attention to the pass behind them.
It wasn't until more than ten breaths after Yuwen Tao issued the order that people in the Jinshan army slowly realized that someone was attacking from behind.

"Tunnels! The Xia army has dug tunnels! They're attacking directly from behind the pass! Lord, turn the army around immediately! We can't lose the pass! We can't lose the pass!"

A ragged figure flew out from inside the pass city, quickly flew over the Jinshan army, and spoke in a hoarse voice, clearly speaking to Jinshan lord Shangguan Yang.
