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

With the participation of a large number of Hongxing Army warriors, the Jin Army's defense line confronting the First Corps was finally overwhelmed, and the shield formations on the front line collapsed one by one.

Without the protection of their heavy shields, the Jin soldiers fell down in rows like straw.

The Hongxing Army's camp was like a cold-blooded war machine, ruthlessly knocking over and trampling on the enemies who blocked its advance.

However, the Jin army was no pushover. Seeing the front-line shield formation collapse, they quickly adjusted their tactics, and the soldiers in the rear quickly gathered and raised their heavy shields again to build a second line of defense.

This new shield wall faced the charge of hundreds of Hongxing Army warriors.

Faced with the shield formation that was built again, the Hongxing Army warriors showed no fear at all. Instead, they let out earth-shaking roars and rushed forward with their swords swinging regardless of anything.

Just as they were about to come into contact with the shield formation, countless spears and lances suddenly shot out from the gaps in the shields, blocking their advance.

Unfortunately, a Hongxing Army warrior was stabbed in the lower abdomen by two spears at the same time, but he gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and thrust his long sword deep into the gap of the shield with his backhand.

With a scream coming from behind the shield, the heavy shield was pushed down by him.

He took this opportunity, gripped the long sword with both hands, and swung it violently, instantly knocking the three Jin soldiers in front of him to the ground.

He had no time to care about his wounds, as if he didn't feel any pain. He just pulled out the spear indifferently and threw it hard to the ground.

Then, he continued to move forward, dragging his intestines flowing out of his lower abdomen. Each step was accompanied by the cold light of his long sword swinging left and right, and two more Jin soldiers fell under his sword.

This scene frightened all the surrounding Jin soldiers. They looked at each other in shock and fear. How could this be considered a human being? It was simply a devil!

A Jin soldier quietly circled behind the warrior, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes, and suddenly stabbed out with a spear. The tip of the spear accurately penetrated the warrior's lower back, making a dull "puff" sound.

The tip of the gun appeared in front of his abdomen, and blood instantly dyed his battle robe red.

The warrior gritted his teeth, groaned, and quickly grasped the spear with his left hand. He turned the blade with his right hand, and slashed it across the attacker's neck like lightning, killing him with one blow.

He tightly grasped the weapon that had pierced his body, staggered but firmly moved forward, roaring: "I am a Hongxing warrior, who dares to compete with me?!"

The roar was as shocking as thunder, causing the Jin army officers and soldiers to look at each other in fear.

As the Hongxing warriors approached step by step, the Jin army soldiers retreated one after another.

The warrior took two more steps, but finally knelt on one knee due to his severe injuries. His long sword was deeply embedded in the soil, and blood flowed out of his mouth and nose. Before he died, he was still whispering: "I am a Hongxing warrior..."

Although the warrior was dead, his kneeling body still deterred the surrounding Jin soldiers and no one dared to approach.

This is just a microcosm of a corner of the battlefield. The charge of the Hongxing Army warriors instantly defeated the Jin Army's second line of defense, demonstrating amazing combat effectiveness.

However, the warriors of the Hongxing Army suffered heavy casualties. Zheng Guang acted decisively and ordered the warriors to be withdrawn. The Corps formation accelerated its advance and began to reap the battlefield after the warriors' charge.

The Jin army camp collapsed under the advancement of the Hongxing army, and soldiers fell down in large numbers and were ruthlessly trampled.

In a short period of time, more than half of the Jin army's more than 10,000 troops were lost, and the remaining Jin troops were in disarray, with morale at its lowest point.

Looking around, there was only chaos and despair on the battlefield, and the Jin army soldiers fled everywhere like headless flies.

Wu Youqiang and Tian Ye, who were watching the battle from behind, couldn't help but gasp. The Hongxing Army's fighting power was so strong that it was simply frightening.

What is even more shocking is that they are currently facing only the local army of the Divine Realm, rather than its elite national army.

Wu Youqiang whispered in disbelief: "This... is this really the local army of the Divine Realm? Their power is so terrifying."

Upon hearing this, Tian Ye curled up a bitter smile. His experience in the Xifan Qinba tribe had already made him deeply aware of the power of the Hongxing Army.

His eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "The combat effectiveness of the local armies in the Divine Realm is indeed uneven, but the Hongxing Army is undoubtedly the best among them, and even compared with the national army, it is not much inferior."

Wu Youqiang glanced at the field, frowned and remained silent.

In the battle of Mucheng, he and Wanyan Lie were both in favor of war, but Tian Ye advocated retreating to Jinling Town to avoid the attack of Hongxing Army.

In their opinion, Tian Ye seemed to be frightened by the Hongxing Army. After all, the other side only had one corps of troops, and they were a local army, so what was there to worry about?

As for the annihilation of Shen Gu's army in Taishan, it was attributed to improper command rather than the disparity in combat power between the two sides.

However, as the battle progressed and the two sides came into direct confrontation, Wu Youqiang suddenly realized that the Hongxing Army in front of him was by no means an ordinary force. They were brave and well-trained, and their combat power was close to that of the National Army.

At this moment, Wu Youqiang felt deep regret in his heart, regretting not adopting Tian Ye's retreat plan.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Soldiers from both sides were in a chaotic fight and retreat became a luxury.

As the Jin Dynasty's national army, being forced to retreat by the enemy's local army was not only a tactical failure, but also a violation of honor. Neither he nor Wanyan Lie could bear such humiliation, so they could only bite the bullet and fight to the end.

Seeing his troops retreating step by step on the front battlefield and the situation becoming precarious, Wu Youqiang frowned and resolutely summoned a messenger, ordering: "Quickly pass on my order, order the two major corps on the left wing of our army to advance immediately and encircle the enemy's right wing!"

Tian Ye, who was standing by, hurriedly stopped the messenger and said to Wu Youqiang with a serious look, "Sir, is this too risky? The flank corps is the key to our army's defense against the Mucheng Divine Realm Army. Once it is withdrawn, our rear will become an undefended place. If the Mucheng Divine Realm Army takes the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, how should our army deal with the attack from both inside and outside?"

Wu Youqiang was speechless for a moment when he heard this.

The mission of the four major corps on both wings is not simply to fight against the Hongxing Army, but also to guard the rear and resist the potential threat from the Mucheng Divine Realm Army.

Once the flank is empty, the Mucheng Divine Realm Army will rush out of the city at any time and join forces with the Hongxing Army. At that time, the Jin Army will be trapped in a desperate situation of being attacked from both sides.

Under Tian Ye's persuasion, Wu Youqiang gradually calmed down. He slowly raised his hand and pointed at the messenger: "For the time being...put aside my previous order!"

"Yes, sir!" the messenger responded with a solemn expression.

Wu Youqiang did not move the troops on the flanks of the Eighth Corps, but Wanyan Lie was forced to push the only two remaining corps of the Fourteenth Corps to the front line.

The Fourteenth Army Corps had already been badly damaged, with only five regiments remaining and morale low.

On the front battlefield, the Third Regiment fought hard against the Hongxing Army, but was defeated step by step and was in imminent danger.

If reinforcements do not arrive, the entire army will be wiped out.

Wanyan Lie knew very well that if he lost three more regiments, the 14th Army might be permanently eliminated from the Jin Kingdom and cease to exist.

Therefore, he had to send the last two corps to the battlefield.
