Chapter 1692: Chapter 535: The Situation Is Lost, The Persuasion to Surrender Begins (Part 3)
Yuwen Yong keenly heard the anger in Yuwen Dao’s voice, and instantly realized that Yuwen Dao must have encountered something when leading the troops to capture the city.
Yuwen Dao nodded and said in a deep voice, “Cai Qiu left more than fifty Xianyang Level in the city. Fortunately, the Lord’s Beast Emperor-level puppet helped, otherwise it would have been difficult for us to take the city gate…”
Recalling the previous battle in the city, Yuwen Dao still felt uneasy.
Before the Jin Mountain army charged out of the city, he dared not show himself. After all, he only had twenty thousand men at his disposal, and though the Lord had given him a Beast Emperor-level puppet, Cai Qiu also had a Tribulation Body Realm stationed, and there was also Cai Qianshan as the Landgrave.
Once the Jin Mountain army charged out of the city, he immediately rallied the crowds to kill them from the Earth-digging Realm.
Almost both sides acted at the same time; naturally, the Jin Mountain army that surged out was not as agile as those at the Xianyang Level.
They turned around immediately, and among them were several leaders at the Xianyang Level from Jin Mountain, organizing a small number of Cold Resistance Level and Earth Digging Realm within the city to resist the Xia Army attacking from the rear.
The twenty thousand Xia Army was indeed like gods descending from the sky, killing from the subterranean passages as if they were in an uninhabited land. How could the hastily organized forces within Aikou City resist?
It must be said, Xianyang Level is still a shortcoming for Great Xia.
The only variable, then, was this.
More than fifty Xianyang Levels, along with hastily assembled city forces, almost blocked them. If the Lord hadn’t sent another Beast Emperor-level puppet, they would have never been able to smoothly kill towards the city gate, not to mention bursting through the gate to support the twenty thousand Xia Army outside the city.
“Suffered some losses, lost quite a few soldiers, but now, it doesn’t matter anymore, Jinshan Wuchuan, the overall situation has gone, the Northern Land from here on is all under the control of Great Xia!”
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Yong was slightly taken aback, then turned his head to look at the battlefield with renewed vigor.
Being able to meet Yuwen Dao on the battlefield meant that the two divisions of Xia Army inside and outside the city had completed their convergence thoroughly.
Indeed, this was the case.
The battlefield outside Aikou City at this moment was becoming incredibly vast; just thinking about it one could tell, after all, the total number of soldiers from both sides had already exceeded one hundred and fifty thousand.
One hundred and fifty thousand people, even if calculated by an average occupancy of one square meter per person, that is still a total of one hundred fifty thousand square meters. Moreover, at this moment the soldiers on the battlefield all have Cold Resistance Level Cultivation, armored weapons, along with the commotion caused during their fighting, average occupancy cannot possibly be that little.
The entire battlefield at this moment stretches at least two miles east to west, everywhere one sees are soldiers, if not for the distinctive features of armor from three parties, it would be difficult for normal people to distinguish friend from foe on the battlefield.
Yuwen Dao and his companion possess Xianyang Level cultivation, slightly rising to see the condition on the battlefield.
The front sections of the two divisions of Xia Army have completely converged, being surrounded by Jin Mountain forces north and south trying to close the breach ripped open by the Xia Army, but due to the vast number of men on the battlefield, they simply couldn’t concentrate their effort, unable to close the breach.
Great Xia, on the other hand, was different. The two divisions converged, and Yuwen Dao’s men continuously made way on the west side for more Xia Army, rallying the incoming wave immediately upon contact, bringing them in. In just over a hundred breaths, they had supported at least half of the Xia Army.
“Wuchuan Army has already rolled over, eight Tribulation Body Realm, plus more than one hundred fifty Xianyang Levels, this Cai Qianshan truly spared no expense!”
Upon hearing Yuwen Yong’s remark, Yuwen Dao immediately looked towards the west side without any hesitation, drew his sword and charged over.
The west side, that is the twenty thousand Xia Army outside the city, half of them have yet to merge with the main forces, while Wuchuan’s fifty thousand troops, under the assistance of Cai Qianshan and a crowd of Tribulation Body and Xianyang, had already bypassed those twelve Beast Emperor-level puppets, charging towards the rear of the half Xia Army.
“I’ll go fend off Wuchuan, you lead the troops to hold the breach, don’t retreat any further, once we have rallied all the brothers, retreat back to the city!”
Yuwen Dao’s mind was clear, the ultimate goal of this battle was to bring back the living power of the Xia Army into Aikou City, not to annihilate the Jinshan Wuchuan forces, once achieved, the two regions could never stir any waves again.
“The forces coming are not few, just unfortunate that their speed was a bit slow…”
At this moment, there was no longer much worry on Yuwen Dao’s face; let alone Wuchuan’s forces only catching up with the rear, even if they were truly able to hold the ten thousand Xia Army, it poses no influence on the overall situation.
The thoroughly converged thirty thousand Xia Army, from afar already forms a long dragon, the tail at the Aikou City gate, the head at three miles to the west of the city gate.
Just a command from him right now, the troops retreat to the city smoothly, with no issue whatsoever anymore.
He instructed Yuwen Yong to lead the forces to hold the breach, only to avoid abandoning the ten thousand Xia Army there.
Of course, they could not abandon them!
Great Xia, does not have the habit of abandoning their own brothers.
……
“Shangguan Yang, Qin Feng, you are already defeated, still resisting stubbornly, are you truly prepared to continue down the dark path alongside Cai Qiu?”
Just as Yuwen Dao reached the rear, rescuing several dozen Xia Army soldiers trapped in the Wuchuan forces’ siege, Xia Hong’s powerful voice echoed from above.
The Lord began persuading surrender!
The targets of persuasion, naturally wouldn’t be Cai Qianshan, but Jinshan Lord Shangguan Yang and Wuchuan Lord Qin Feng.
Though Xia Hong’s words were loud, they received no response, having extremely limited influence on the battlefield, the soldiers were momentarily dazed but then returned to the slaughter.
Soldiers from Jinshan Wuchuan towns fundamentally could not see the situation clearly, they only knew that an overwhelming number occupied the mountains and plains, Xia Army being trapped in the middle region, in their view, if they could fight through, the Xia Army must be defeated;
Soldiers from Great Xia, had simpler thoughts, an overwhelming majority are not aware of Xia Hong’s intent, they only knew the Lord had begun persuading surrender, if Jinshan Wuchuan were to surrender now, there would be no chance of gaining military merit.
Therefore, soldiers from both sides ironically fought even more fiercely!
