Chapter 225

So, Ji Ling gritted his teeth and immediately ordered: "Press forward! Press all the troops forward and attack the city with full force!"

"You must take Xinye City for me as quickly as possible."

"At the very least, kill as many enemies as possible, inflict the greatest casualties on them, and make them feel the pain!!"

Only in this way could he satisfy his Lord and occupy a greater initiative in the subsequent peace talks.

"Yes!!!"

"All troops, attack! Kill!!!"

Immediately, the deputy general commanded and directed all the troops to press forward, beginning a frantic siege.

"Form the military formation! Kill!!"

Seeing this, Old Dian Wei and Huang Zhong on the city wall immediately connected with the army, formed a long, narrow military formation, gathered the power of the formation to reinforce themselves, and continued to frantically attack the enemy troops trying to climb up.

For a time, the battle entered its most intense stage.

"Rumble!!"

After only a few minutes, it looked like they were about to scale the wall.

Suddenly, Ji Ling heard the sound of rumbling hooves, and it was getting louder.

He looked around in suspicion.

Finally, he locked onto the main road in the direction of the West City in the south.

He saw that in the distance on the main road, dust filled the sky, and a large number of black dots were rapidly enlarging from far to near.

Soon, Ji Ling used his powerful eyesight to see the banners of the newcomers.

Some of them had a large "Su" character written on them!

Ji Ling's expression changed drastically, and he shouted in terror: "Enemy reinforcements are coming! Quick! Tell the siege army to retreat, retreat!!!"

The deputy general looked over as well, his face turning ashen, and he hurriedly ordered a retreat.

Unfortunately, it was already too late!

Su Xuan led nearly 4, 00 iron cavalry in a military formation, and with the reinforcement of the formation's power, they charged toward them at a terrifying speed.

At the same time, not far behind them, several thousand troops were also galloping on horseback.

Although Sun Sun Jian's side had not continued to participate in the battle, they had actually been observing the situation on the battlefield.

Naturally, he also discovered Su Xuan's reinforcements.

His expression also changed: "Not good! Su Xuan's reinforcements have arrived! We must hold them off! We cannot let Ji Ling's side be completely routed, otherwise, none of us will fare well!"

If that really happened, even if he could escape, he would have no way to answer to Lord Yuan Shu.

If things went wrong, Lord Yuan Shu might even dump all the blame on him.

This was something Sun Sun Jian could not allow to happen.

He hadn't fully developed yet; he still needed time!

"Yes!"

Cheng Pu and the others were slightly stunned for a moment, but the next moment they took the order and resolutely executed Sun Sun Jian's command, leading the army with Sun Sun Jian to charge toward Ji Ling's side to rescue them.

Fortunately, although they hadn't prepared to join the battle, they had still assembled their troops, otherwise it would have been too late.

"Boom!!!"

In the end, less than half of Ji Ling's army had retreated before they collided with Su Xuan's iron cavalry.

For a time, a large number of Lord Yuan Shu's soldiers were directly crushed by the iron cavalry.

Su Xuan's army charged into the enemy formation with an unstoppable force.

Frantically slaughtering the enemy troops along the way.

The battle was completely one-sided.

Seeing this, Ji Ling was furious, personally taking hundreds of personal guards to charge up, wanting to block the advance of Su Xuan's iron cavalry.

"Ji Ling! Sun Sun Jian is here!"

At this moment, Sun Sun Jian arrived with reinforcements and rendezvoused with Ji Ling.

"Phew! Many thanks!"

Seeing this, Ji Ling let out a long sigh of relief, and the dissatisfaction he had felt toward Sun Sun Jian earlier was swept away.

"No need to say more, hurry and go rescue them!"

"Also, prepare to retreat; this battle is about to end!"

Sun Sun Jian shook his head and said.

"Hmm!"

Ji Ling nodded with a solemn expression and immediately joined Sun Sun Jian and his army to meet Su Xuan's army.

"Boom!!!"

Before long, they blocked the front of Su Xuan's army formation, attempting to stop Su Xuan from continuing to slaughter the nearly collapsing Lord Yuan Shu army.

"Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens!!!"

However, they had overestimated themselves.

Su Xuan's side instantly condensed a huge blood-energy military soul over ten meters tall.

Then, Su Xuan manipulated the super-sized Fangtian Painted Halberd, over ten meters long, in the military soul's hand and slashed directly at Sun Sun Jian and the others.

Instantly, the small military formations of Sun Sun Jian and Ji Ling were shattered.

He precisely controlled the power, injuring them without killing them.

"Pfft!!!"

Sun Sun Jian, Ji Ling, and the others, as well as their generals, personal guards, and elites, all turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Their spirits withered, and they were all swaying and on the verge of collapse.

Then, Su Xuan looked at Sun Sun Jian, Ji Ling, and the others, amplified his voice many times with strength and blood energy, and said loudly: "Dismount and surrender immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for killing you all!"

Ji Ling, Sun Sun Jian, and the others all showed bitter expressions upon hearing this.

"Surrender! *Cough, cough*... Everyone, put down your weapons and surrender!!"

Ji Ling and Sun Sun Jian shouted in unison.

The sound aggravated their injuries, making them unable to stop coughing.

It took several moments for them to recover slightly.

"Clang, clang!"

Since the main generals had given the order, and the soldiers below were not fearless, facing such terrifying enemies, they had long since lost the will to fight.

One after another, they stopped fighting, put down their weapons, and chose to surrender.

"Kill... Uh... Is this over?"

This time, Wen Pin arrived late with 4, 00 naval troops who had already dismounted, just preparing to shout and fight, when he heard and saw the scene of the enemy surrendering.

Instantly, Wen Pin and his 4, 00 soldiers were dumbfounded.

Also dumbfounded were Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei inside Xinye City, who had seen Su Xuan slaughtering everyone, the enemy retreating, and were preparing to lead the army out of the city to fight.

"What is going on? The enemy surrendered just like that?"

"Are you sure you came to start a war, not to be funny?"

Old Dian Wei muttered unhappily.

He still wanted to earn more merit!

As a result, this was it?

He hadn't even really started to exert his strength, and the enemy had already knelt and surrendered?

The key was that the greatest merit this time was actually the Lord and his personal guard battalion.

Where were they supposed to go to reason this out?

For a time, Old Dian Wei regretted coming out to lead the army alone and regretted leaving the personal guard battalion.

"I envy old Xu!"

Old Dian Wei said with a depressed expression.

"Haha!"

Huang Zhong, who was on the side, laughed and patted Old Dian Wei on the shoulder: "Nothing to be done! This is luck!"

"Who knew the enemy would be so incompetent!"

"Let's go! Lead the army out of the city to accept the surrender; we can't let the Lord and the others clean up the mess."

He was not as depressed as Old Dian Wei.

After all, he was already a Heavenly Human-realm martial artist, and his cultivation in other areas was also improving very quickly because of his high martial artist realm.
