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

Just as Duan Tianyang said, a tight net has been set up in all four camps.

He personally commanded the North Camp, Yi Shuirou commanded the West Camp, Qiu Tieyi commanded the South Camp, and Gu Jianhong lay in wait in the East Camp.

This time, the Shadow Team of the 14th Corps of the Jin Dynasty came out in full force, divided into four routes and sent to four camps, intending to find out the location of the enemy's main force.

However, after these more than 40 elite soldiers sneaked into the enemy camp, they disappeared like a drop in the ocean, and there was no news of them ever again.

It was not until the dawn broke and the rain gradually cleared that the Jin army's spies discovered something unusual - outside the enemy's four camps, the bodies and heads of Shadow team members were hanging, which was a shocking sight.

The spy hurried back to the city and reported the bad news to Wu Youqiang and Wanyan Lie.

Upon hearing this, Wanyan Lie's expression suddenly changed, as if all his strength had been drained away. He slumped in the chair with empty eyes, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Wu Youqiang's face also turned pale, with cold sweat on his forehead. He stood there in a daze, speechless.

Time seemed to freeze until Wanyan Lie picked up the teacup with trembling hands, took a sip, and then slowly spoke: "Our army's shadow team disappeared overnight. They are all hidden warriors with profound cultivation!"

Hidden warriors are not suitable for charging into battle, but their ability to hide and escape capture is unique.

And now, more than forty hidden warriors, including Wan Hou of the Tiangang Realm, were all defeated in the enemy camp. This news made Wanyan Lie's heart sink to the bottom, and the loss to the 14th Legion was even more incalculable.

Tian Ye couldn't help but sighed: "It seems that we have underestimated the enemy after all. They obviously expected our army to do this, so they set a trap in advance and waited for our army to fall into it."

Upon hearing this, Wanyan Lie suddenly slammed the cup in his hand, stood up, and shouted with his eyes wide open: "Now that things have come to this, what's the point of saying this? Our army's Shadow Team no longer exists!"

This roar was not so much a reproach to Tian Ye as it was an expression of his endless regret and anger. He blamed himself for his rash actions that pushed the precious Shadow Team into an abyss of no return.

Tian Ye frowned, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "We must immediately select a group of loyal and brave men from the army!"

After saying this, Wu Youqiang and Wanyan Lie simultaneously focused their eyes on him and asked in unison: "General Tian, ​​do you intend to launch a night attack on the enemy camp?"

"No! If we attack without knowing the enemy's situation, it would be tantamount to disregarding the lives of our brothers. It is indeed an unwise move."

"Then what's the point of selecting loyal and brave men?"

Tian Ye's eyes were stern, and every word was sonorous: "Put them in prison temporarily."

"Ah?" Wu Youqiang and Wanyan Lie looked at each other in disbelief.

The two of them couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Tian Ye was so anxious that he lost his composure?

In the early morning of that day, the war drums of the Hongxing Army's South Camp were thundering, the camp gates were thrown open, and tens of thousands of soldiers poured out like a tide, heading straight for the town of Jinling, provoking and insulting them in an attempt to provoke the Jin army in the city and lure them out for a decisive battle.

Faced with the enemy's arrogance, Wu Youqiang and Wanyan Lie agreed and decided to hold their ground, and issued strict orders to the three armies that anyone who dared to leave the city to fight without permission would be severely punished according to military law, regardless of victory or defeat.

The Hongxing Army clamored outside the South City for a whole morning, but seeing that the Jin Army remained unmoved, they had to retreat to the South Camp in disappointment.

Soon, another 10,000 elite soldiers from the North Camp arrived and continued to provoke outside the North City Gate.

However, the gates of the North City were also closed, the drawbridge was suspended high, and they remained unmoved, with no intention of going into battle.

It was not until sunset that the Hongxing Army outside the North City withdrew to the North Camp.

After the battle of Mucheng, the Jin army had fully realized the disadvantages of a head-on confrontation with the Hongxing army and knew that they were no match for them.

In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, the best strategy for the Jin army was to rely on the strength of the city and hold their ground.

However, the Hongxing Army was short of manpower, and they were unable to launch a stormy attack on the impregnable Jinling Town. Not only would it be difficult to capture it, but it would also result in additional casualties.

So, for four consecutive days, the Hongxing Army chose to use verbal attacks in front of the Jinling City. Their words were so sharp that even the ancestors of the Jin people for eighteen generations could not rest in peace.

However, the Jin army in the city was determined to hold its ground and remained unmoved despite the curses from outside the city.

The defenders on the city wall were so upset by the scolding that they had to tear their clothes to make stuffy clothes in order to get a moment of peace.

The Hongxing Army was eager to fight, while the Jin Army held its ground like a rock. The battle of Jinling Town was temporarily at a stalemate.

Even Yi Shuirou, who was extremely intelligent and good at commanding troops, felt helpless in the face of such a dead end.

The battlefield in Jinling Town was at a stalemate, but the main battlefield in the north was still raging.

Yi Tian and Ling Ziyan, the newly promoted Lord of the Divine Realm, personally led the national army and won victory after victory in Huaizhou. With great momentum, they attacked the heart of Jinzhou as if they were in an empty land.

In Jinzhou, the eight corps of the National Army and the ten corps of the Jin Army engaged in a head-on battle on the vast plains.

On the first day of the battle, both sides suffered more than 50,000 casualties, and this was only the prelude to the battle.

The battle resumed the next day, and the number of casualties increased sharply. In one day, the two sides suffered more than 100,000 casualties combined.

In order to make up for the losses on the front line, both sides urgently mobilized local troops from the rear to reinforce, and the troop strength not only did not decrease, but increased.

At this point, the national war has evolved into a brutal war of attrition, and the front battlefield has become a meat grinder that devours the lives of soldiers.

The fighting lasted until the sixth day. Both sides suffered heavy casualties and were extremely exhausted. At this time, the competition was no longer about manpower and combat effectiveness, but about will and persistence.

The battle became so stalemate that the Jin army finally showed signs of fatigue. At dawn on the seventh day, their camp hung up a sign prohibiting fighting and the army remained closed. This move was like a shot in the arm for the national army.

Ling Ziyan concluded that the Jin army had reached its limit, so how could they miss this God-given opportunity?

She was resolute and led her troops forward, vowing to defeat the main force of the Jin army and devour it in one fell swoop.

This battle was extremely brutal, and the sky was dyed red with blood.

The National Army surged towards the Jin camp like a tide and tore it apart several times, but the Jin army was no pushover and fought back tenaciously, blocking the gaps time and time again.

The two sides fought back and forth until the sun was setting and night was falling, and only then did they stop fighting.

The national army of the Divine Realm has always been known for its tenacity, but in this fierce battle, they had exhausted their last bit of strength. After returning to the camp, they were left with exhausted figures everywhere.

The next day, when the Jin army should have been resting and recuperating, it went against its usual behavior and sent out all its main forces to take the initiative to provoke.

The Kuomintang generals were worried and advised Ling Ziyan to stay away from the attack. Even Yi Tian held this view.

After days of fierce fighting, the Kuomintang soldiers were extremely exhausted and could no longer fight.

However, Ling Ziyan ignored the opposition and insisted on fighting.

Her words were powerful: "We have been fighting fiercely these past few days. Although our army is exhausted, the Jin army is no exception. Both sides have consumed a lot of physical strength. What we are competing for now is willpower. How can we, the children of the Divine Realm, be inferior to others in willpower? Moreover, if the Jin army defends the camp to the death, it may be difficult to conquer it. Now that they are actively seeking a fight, why should we be afraid?"
