The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Hongxing Army Camp, Central Army Tent

Zheng Guang spoke first, his voice steady: "Before this, the Eighth Corps of the Jin Army was defeated in Xifan, and lost three corps, with the number of troops reduced to 70,000. Now, the Fourteenth Corps has suffered another heavy blow, and five corps have been destroyed, leaving only about 50,000. In addition to the local troops around Mucheng, the number of troops assembled by the Jin Army outside Mucheng should be 150,000."

Zhang Liao frowned when he heard this and said worriedly, "We have 100,000 troops and the enemy has 150,000. In a head-on clash, we are still at a disadvantage."

Zheng Guang smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "Don't worry, General Zhang. The princess still has 30,000 soldiers under her command, plus the newly recruited volunteers in Mucheng, the total force is nearly 50,000, enough to compete with the Jin army. The forces of both sides are actually on par with each other."

Zhang Liao's frown gradually relaxed upon hearing this, and he smiled heartily: "In that case, this battle has great potential!"

Zheng Guang continued, "The key to victory or defeat lies in morale. Our army has just crushed the enemy's spirit, and their morale is high. On the other hand, the Jin army lost its deputy commander and 50,000 soldiers, so their morale must be frustrated. In this battle, our army will win without a doubt!"

Duan Tianyang smiled faintly upon hearing this, "Since the Hongxing Army entered the territory of the Jin Kingdom, there has never been a tit-for-tat fierce battle. This battle will surely be the starting point of our glory in the Jin Kingdom. If we win the first battle, we will be invincible in the subsequent battles; otherwise, every step will be difficult. Generals, do you have confidence?"

Inside the tent, all the soldiers responded in unison: "Don't worry, Brother Tian, ​​this battle will ensure that the Jin army will not return, and not a single piece of armor will be left!"

After the meeting, Duan Tianyang slowly walked out of the central military tent, followed by Lu Jingyuan, who whispered, "Brother Tian, ​​how should we deal with the three assassins?"

The battle of Taishan has come to an end, and their mission as guides for the Hongxing Army has also come to an end. Liu Jun and the other two seem to have lost the value of their existence.

Duan Tianyang put his hands behind his back and said faintly, "Let's go and see them."

The two men came to the tent where Liu Jun and the other two were imprisoned. When they saw Duan Tianyang, their faces suddenly changed and they felt uneasy, not knowing how Duan Tianyang was going to deal with them.

Duan Tianyang's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He slowly swept over the three of them, and finally stopped, and said calmly: "Since you have shown the way for our army, I will let you go today. But remember, this is the last and only time. If you dare to be an enemy of our army again, I will show no mercy." After saying this, he looked deep in his eyes and waved his sleeves lightly, "Let them go."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers acted quickly and untied Zhang Yuning and others.

After regaining their freedom, they rubbed their sore wrists and looked at Duan Tianyang warily, fearing that this was just a delaying tactic.

Lu Jingyuan, standing aside, lowered his voice and whispered to Duan Tianyang: "Brother Tian, ​​if we let them go like this, we'll just be letting a tiger return to the mountain..."

Zhang Yuning and the other two were not from the Jin court, but came from a martial arts sect. The quick victory of the Taishan battle was entirely due to their guidance.

Therefore, it was rare for Duan Tianyang to show mercy.

He glanced sideways, then strode out of the tent, leaving only one sentence: "Go quickly before I change my mind!"

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Yuning's clear voice cut through the air. She quickly walked to Duan Tianyang's side, raised her little hand, and slowly stretched it in front of him.

Duan Tianyang frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "What?"

"Ju Yuan Dan."

He took a deep breath, finally reached into his arms, took out a small porcelain bottle, and handed it to Zhang Yuning.

Zhang Yuning took the porcelain bottle, but was not in a hurry to share it with the other two.

Duan Tianyang seemed to see her concerns, and his tone was mixed with a hint of impatience: "If I really wanted to kill you, would I have to go through so much trouble?"

Zhang Yuning and the other two looked at each other, and finally mustered up the courage to put the pill into their mouths.

When the Juyuan Pill entered their stomachs, a warm current instantly surged and the true energy in their bodies gathered. They knew very well that this was undoubtedly the antidote.

Looking at Duan Tianyang's back, Zhang Yuning and the others felt mixed emotions. She tried to remain calm and said, "Don't think that we will be grateful to you just because you let us go. If we meet again someday, we will definitely..."

Before he finished speaking, Duan Tianyang had already reached the door. He suddenly stopped, turned around and looked back. His eyes were as sharp as cold stars, piercing Zhang Yuning's heart.

Although she was unwilling, she had to admit that the sudden sharp look made her heart tremble.

Duan Tianyang curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer, then gently lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent calmly.

After watching Duan Tianyang's receding back, Zhang Yuning and the other two no longer hesitated and rushed towards the outside of the Hongxing Army camp. In a flash, their figures blended into the night and disappeared without a trace.

The next morning, trumpets sounded in the Hongxing Army camp, and the entire army was ready to go, embarking on the journey to Mucheng in a mighty manner.

Not long after, the Hongxing Army led by Duan Tianyang finally arrived at Mucheng, which is located on a vast plain.

All around is the boundless grassland, vast and flat. This is the arena for the contest of strength and courage. The terrain cannot serve as a shelter, only strength can determine victory or defeat.

The Jin army had already heard the news and had set up a strict battle formation in the south of Mucheng, ready to fight.

In this battle, the Jin army assembled two legions and local troops, with a total force of 150,000. The Hongxing army, although only one legion, was composed of its best troops, and the 100,000-strong army was ready to go, with great momentum.

The two armies were facing each other, only two miles apart. The battle formation was tight and the momentum of the attack was obvious at a glance.

"Woo-"

In the Hongxing army, a horn suddenly sounded, piercing the sky. Wang Qiang stepped forward, rode his horse to Duan Tianyang, saluted, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Sir, I am willing to fight and be the vanguard to defeat the enemy!"

Duan Tianyang stared at Wang Qiang who volunteered, and said gently: "Okay, but you need to be careful."

"I obey your command!" Wang Qiang showed his joy and nodded heavily. He then turned his horse around and headed straight for the enemy camp.

Wang Qiang rode his horse and stood in front of the two armies, pointing his spear directly at the Jin army formation, and his voice resounded through the sky: "Who dares to challenge me?"

Before he finished speaking, the drums of the Jin army shook the sky. A moment later, a Jin general rode out and faced Wang Qiang. He stopped his horse, flashed his sword, and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you? Tell me your name!"

"I am Wang Qiang from the Divine Realm Hongxing Army!" Wang Qiang responded proudly.

Upon hearing this, the Jin general laughed loudly, his eyes full of disdain: "A mere nobody! I am Pei Man, the cavalry general of the Jin Kingdom!"

After he finished speaking, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Wang Qiang raised his lips with a hint of contempt and said with a smile: "General of the Cavalry? This title is quite unique. Could it be a title casually given by the Jin Kingdom?"

These words hit Pei Man's sore spot.

Indeed, the title of General of Cavalry was awarded indiscriminately by the Jin Kingdom in order to boost morale. People were happy to get it, but would laugh at it and call it a "miscellaneous title" if they lost it.

Pei Man's face turned livid and he was burning with anger. Wang Qiang's unintentional words hit him right in the face.
