Faced with the oncoming Dragon Sparrow Dharma Form, Pei Yuanqing chose to confront it head-on, wielding his eight-sided plum blossom bright silver hammer. His silver-white energy surged wildly, blocking Long Junzuo's fierce attack.
The yellowish-brown and silvery-white auras intertwined and collided, bursting forth with dazzling light.
The battle raged on for a long time without a clear victor, but the soldiers of both sides had already fought to the death, leaving rivers of blood and corpses strewn across the battlefield.
Although Long Junzu was brave, the Wenzhou army behind him began to collapse under Han Xin's ingenious plan and the fierce attack of the Jiuxiao army.
At this moment, Long Junzuo, who was fighting Pei Yuanqing, was distracted and saw that the Sparrow King's army behind him was divided and surrounded by the Nine Heavens Army and was in a bitter battle. He was extremely anxious.
If this continues, not only will they fail to break through Han Xin's defenses, but they may also suffer total annihilation.
Left with no other choice, Long Junzuo gritted his teeth and made a difficult decision.
He directly ordered the newly recruited soldiers of the Wenzhou Army to launch a probing attack on Han Xin's lines.
These soldiers of Wenzhou Army were originally the city's garrison, and were not Long Junzuo's trusted troops.
Among them, some were once the pillars of their families, and some were once farmers working in the fields. Now, due to the war, they were forced to put on their armor, take up arms, and embark on this path of no return.
Their eyes reflected fear of war, uncertainty about the future, but even more so, a deep sense of helplessness and resentment.
However, at this critical juncture, they too became pawns in Long Junzuo's hands, pushed to the brink of death.
Long Junzuo knew this was a cruel move, but he had no way out.
He shouted loudly, ordering the Wenzhou army to charge. Although the soldiers were unwilling, they had no choice but to obey the order and rush towards the Jiuxiao army's position.
Shouting and brandishing his weapon, he tried to use his own flesh and blood to open a path to survival for Long Junzuo.
However, Han Xin had already anticipated Long Junzuo's move.
He chuckled and ordered the Nine Heavens Army to change formation, waiting in ambush for the Wenzhou Army to charge.
When the soldiers of Wenzhou Army rushed to the front of Jiuxiao Army's position, they were already surrounded by heavy battle formations.
The soldiers of the Nine Heavens Army surged in from all directions like ghosts, surrounding them completely.
Seeing this, Long Junzuo felt a pang of heartache, but he did not order the organization to act.
In his mind, these soldiers of Wenzhou Army were nothing more than innocent victims.
The soldiers of the Nine Heavens Army attacked them like a storm, their weapons drawing deadly arcs in the air, each swing taking away a life.
The soldiers of Wenzhou Army flew through the air in tragic arcs before crashing heavily to the ground, never to rise again.
Blood stained this land and the sky.
However, even so, Long Junzuo's army was ultimately unable to withstand the fierce attack of the Jiuxiao Army.
Led by Han Xin, the Nine Heavens Army surged forward like a tidal wave, their offensive fierce and relentless, as if they intended to utterly destroy everything in their path.
Long Junzuo's army finally collapsed in the face of this unstoppable force.
The front lines were completely broken, and countless Wenzhou soldiers fell like wheat being harvested, slaughtered and their proud banners were trampled into the mud.
Just as Long Junzuo was in dire straits, a series of rapid and heavy war drums suddenly came from the eastern horizon, like the wrath of an ancient thunder god, shaking every inch of land and people's hearts.
The sound was like the deepest sigh in the world, foreshadowing new changes that were about to occur on this already ravaged battlefield.
Following Su Qin's advice, Lu Wang, who had been stationed on the flank, could no longer suppress his anxiety and ambition. He led his army in a massive attack, like a surging tide, intending to launch a surprise attack on the flank of the Jiuxiao Army, relieve Long Junzuo's siege, and also to gain a share of the spoils in Wenzhou.
The current situation in Wenzhou is that the Nine Heavens Army is strong while the alliance between the Sparrow King and the Feudal Kings is weak.
Originally, facing the Yunzhou Jiuxiao Army with its 300,000 troops, the flat terrain of Wenzhou was merely a buffer zone and a forward outpost.
Each time we resisted the Nine Heavens Army, it was the combined efforts of several states behind Wenzhou that held the enemy at the border.
Now the Great Yong Dynasty is fragmented, with everyone fighting their own battles. A single vassal king is no match for the united Nine Heavens Army.
Therefore, at this time, after Shangguan Lie led several weak vassal kings from the vassal king alliance to kowtow to Cao Cao.
The combined forces of the feudal lords in Luwang City, led by Luwang, were not actually very strong.
In this situation, King Lu must have been helping Long Junzuo, who was also one of the kings of Dayong.
Upon hearing the news, Han Xin, standing in the Nine Heavens Army formation, showed no sign of panic; instead, a calm smile appeared on his lips.
Because of the advance action of the vassal kings' alliance, Han Xin and his men had already anticipated Lu Wang's move. Therefore, they laid out a large ambush on the east side in advance, like an invisible net, waiting for the enemy to walk into the trap.
The two armies clashed, and the battle instantly became extremely fierce.
King Lu's army consisted of carefully selected warriors, brave and fearless, like a raging storm, unstoppable.
However, faced with the fierce resistance of the Nine Heavens Army, they were as if they had hit an impenetrable wall. No matter how hard they charged, they could not break through the seemingly weak but actually unbreakable defense.
At this moment, on the flank of the Nine Heavens Army, amidst the flames of war and the bones of fallen soldiers, Pei Xingjian, clad in silver armor and wielding a long sword, stood atop a high hill.
The allied forces of the vassal kings surged in like a tidal wave, their momentum immense, raising clouds of dust, and the sounds of horses' hooves and shouts creating a deafening roar.
However, Pei Xingjian remained unfazed, a faint smile playing on his lips, as if everything was under his control.
He gently waved his longsword, and the soldiers of the Nine Heavens Army instantly changed formation as if they had received a divine decree, their movements as unpredictable as dragons and snakes dancing.
