At the same time, on a hill, Chai Yuan was so furious that he viciously swung the horsewhip in his hand to the side.
"F * * * Xijie City, Fushuang City, they actually rebelled!"
This place was right in front of the army formation, a hill at the junction of Xiyun and Huanlong Province.
Both sides had a total of 1.2 million troops, and they were facing off against each other.
Gantian Mountain City had fewer troops but they were more elite. However, at this moment, they were obviously at a disadvantage. Only five hundred thousand people were stuck in a flat valley. They completely occupied the two mountain peaks.
5 to 7 soldiers. In terms of combat strength, they should be on the same level or even slightly better. However, at this moment, Gantian Mountain City needed to split out 200 thousand troops to arrange at the back to defend. Which was why the Taoyun City army had a suppressive advantage.
"That Yue Guanyun is indeed amazing, directly attacking the weak point. Causing these cities to have no choice but to rebel! "
The one who spoke was Suman, the Xuanwu ancestor who was the deputy commander of the east city army when Zong Shou led his troops back to attack Gantian Mountain.
After the battle, along with Suman's strength and intelligence, he was not bad. Before the cloud ocean hunt, Zong Shou directly appointed him as the deputy general of Chai Yuan. Along with Chai Yuan, he would take charge of Xiyun Province to prevent Taoyun City from attacking.
At this moment, his brows were tightly furrowed. Who knows when it started, but there were rumors in the west of Donglin Cloud Continent that tens of city lords were unhappy with Zong Shou taking the throne and had joined Taoyun, Blazing Flame, and Yunxia City.
During these few days, with Xijie City at the lead, the other cities in the east had already rebelled. The 10 odd city countries in Xiyun Province really rebelled.
Not mentioning the other cities, only Xijie City and Fushuang City were at the crucial points. Not only did they cut off the supplies of the 500 thousand troops here, but they also blocked their path of retreat.
It also caused the 2 of them to place a small portion of their troops behind to defend against a sneak attack from the 2 cities.
"However, Vast country duke please calm down and bear with it. I think they won't be in a rush to attack now … "
"Oh," Chai Yuan uttered. He looked at him in surprise, "Tell me, what do you think?"
Suman didn't hesitate, opening his mouth to explain, "If it was me, I would most probably wait for the results of the Cloud Ocean Hunt to be over before I act."
Seeing Chai Yuan smile, Suman knew that this wind bear race leader had thought about it. As expected from one of the famous generals of Gantian Mountain, he wasn't fooled by the dangerous situation on the surface. He still spoke, "The reputation that our Gantian Mountain City built for 10 years won't fall so easily. As long as the Overlord Duke, Vast Duke, and Qiu Tingzhu were still around, they would be able to intimidate several provinces. There was also Zong Yuan who was up and coming, an unparalleled famous general. It was enough to make it hard for one to have any thoughts of betrayal. Xiyun province, Xijie city city city city city city, Xijie city, Zong Shou.. Even an idiot would know that if they fought now, even if they could win, they would have to pay a huge price. Why not wait for the ruler to return with no gains under the cloud ocean, the hearts of the people collapsing before attacking. "
His tone paused, Suman concluded expressionlessly, "So our Gantian Mountain seems to be in danger but is actually safe. As for the ruler's ability, you and I both know about it. There is no need to worry. Taoyun City isn't good at land battles and is the weakest. On the contrary, Qiu country pillar and Overlord country duke are more worrying. "
Chai Yuan nodded his head in satisfaction. Suman only had 7 meridians and was slightly weaker. However, his brain was sharp and could help him. The ruler does have a good eye for people.
"Although that is the case, it still makes me feel frustrated! This Xijie City, Fushuang City, heh! Once your highness returns, I will teach them a lesson! "
He scoffed furiously, venting the frustration in his heart. Chai Yuan's brows rose up as he looked below the mountain, "What do they want to do?"
Only to see groups of people walking out from the opposite camp. There were roughly 50 thousand of them. Cavalry and infantry, what was surprising was that these 50 thousand people didn't bring any weapons. They were pretty much barehanded as they walked towards the Gantian camp at the foot of the mountain.
"Looking at the style of their armor, they seem to have been recruited from nearby cities."
Suman's eyes were filled with a weird expression as he looked into the distance. Behind these fifty thousand unarmed people was the Taoyun City's army. A full 200 thousand well-equipped troops were lined up in square formations as they stepped out of the camp and spread out on the plains below the mountain.
The combat strength of the human race might not be as good as the monster race, but in terms of training and strict military discipline, they were better.
Rows of light and heavy armored soldiers stood solemnly, orderly like they were carefully cut by knives. There was no sound at all. As for the cavalry army, when they advanced, hundreds of thousands of horse hooves advanced and retreated at the same time, there was really little noise. Just one look and one could tell that their combat strength was really strong.
Suman didn't understand at first, until the 50 thousand empty-handed people were forcefully chased by the 200 thousand fully equipped soldiers to the front of the camp at the foot of the mountain. Finally, a light flashed in his mind. He understood, and his expression changed drastically.
"They want to order these people to attack the camp!"
Seeing that Chai Yuan didn't understand, Suman added a few more words to explain, "They are looking at us and don't dare to provoke us …"
Chai Yuan's eyes instantly opened wide in rage, taking half a step forwards as he stared down the mountain. As expected, those 50 thousand people weren't afraid of the numerous crossbows in the camp. They directly took out tools and shoveled dirt, slowly filling up the 70 feet deep hole outside of the camp wall. At the start, these people were a little nervous, but when they saw that the camp didn't shoot out arrows, they slowly calmed down. Their speed of filling up the hole became faster and faster.
Chai Yuan's face was dark and sunken as he suddenly looked dozens of miles away at the 200 thousand Taoyun City troops.
Only to see that in the center of the formation, close to 10 thousand heavy armored soldiers were protecting a large flag with the word "Cloud" standing tall. Under that flag, there were dozens of people dressed in luxurious silver armor. The one at the helm was around 20 years old, his face was thin and slightly ashen, similar to Yue Guanyun. At this moment, he was looking over proudly, his eyes filled with a mocking expression.
"This Yue Linghuan is bullying me! Does he really think that I, Chai Yuan, can't do anything to him? "
He only felt a vengeful energy in the depths of his heart, unable to spit it out, making him feel really depressed.
Suman followed his gaze and looked over. As expected, it was the prince of Taoyun City, the one that Yue Guanyun doted on the most.
However, following which his eyes were attracted by another person. His body was pretty much the same as Chai Zhou who was 12 feet tall. He was riding on a giant beast whose shoulders were 8 feet tall. Who knows how many layers of armor he was wearing, the outermost blood red armor had 10 spikes on it. At his waist hung a water tank-sized chain hammer, it was also blood red and looked really vicious.
His aura was even more ferocious than those famous ferocious beasts!
"That person is Taoyun City Blood Hammer Wei Ke, he can't be underestimated."
Suman turned around and saw that Chai Yuan's face was twisting. A fierce glow flashed in his eyes, like he was on the verge of exploding. He hurriedly persuaded, "Duke Chai, think about the big picture!"
His tone was filled with helplessness. Actually, not only Taoyun City wasn't willing to attack at this moment. Gantian Mountain also didn't dare to provoke them at this moment.
One was unwilling, one didn't dare. Naturally, one could see who was stronger.
Using the strength of one city to go up against 3 cities working together. Gantian Mountain had the pride of an overlord and wouldn't fear it. However, when the young master was doubtful, the people's hearts were shaken and the wind and rain was blowing. Gantian Mountain's chances of winning were less than 20%.
Even if they could win, it would be a tragic victory. In the next few years, they might not be able to recover their strength, the gains didn't make up for the losses.
Chai Yuan's face was changing between green and white. Following which his heart moved slightly as he looked behind him. Only to see tens of miles away, there were people moving about, dust rising up like there was a huge army slowly moving over.
He couldn't help but be furious, knowing that Jiefu City had already sent troops. The scouts under his command had already reported to him, so he wasn't surprised and had already taken precautions. However, at this moment, it made him really furious! He wanted to go all out and have a huge battle with them. He wanted to let these clowns see whether or not his reputation on the battlefield was fake.
However, in just a moment, Chai Yuan forcefully suppressed the hatred in his heart. He had fought for tens of years and naturally knew the importance of things. He pretty much gritted his teeth and said coldly, "We can't defend this place. Order the troops to prepare to retreat to Weapon Hiding Canyon!"
Looking below, those 50 thousand people had already filled up the hole and were casually dismantling the wooden walls and horse barricades. He gritted his teeth, "Tell the people in front to back down! Commander Su, please lead the troops to cover the back! "
Suman's expression turned serious, solemnly cupping his fists, "Duke don't worry! I will be able to hold on until the army retreats safely! "
A moment later, the military order was given. The soldiers of the three towns stationed at the foot of the mountain began to withdraw from the camp in an orderly manner. Even if they retreated, they were really organized.
Only then did Chai Yuan nod his head in satisfaction, just as he was about to lead his horse away. Suddenly, he saw a flag rise up. Looking closely, one could see that it wrote, "Weiran died, Gantian Mountain has no generals; Chai Yuan is useless, exhausting 3 armies; our army is empty handed and doesn't dare to fight; 500 thousand troops are all cowards!"
The thirty-six words pierced into their eyes. Below, those 200 thousand people all laughed out loud, their voices filled with mocking intent.
Chai Yuan was shocked, his eyes turning black. He couldn't suppress the aura in his body, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. After a long while, he slowly recovered. His eyes were instantly filled with rage as he stared down the mountain at the teen who was laughing maniacally in delight.
"This Yue Linghuan is asking to die!"
With a thought, Chai Yuan totally gave up on retreating. It wasn't that he lost his mind and didn't care about the big picture.
It was that if he retreated today, then the fighting spirit and morale of the hundreds of thousands of troops under him would be destroyed!
It wasn't that they couldn't win, but because of many worries, they had no choice but to retreat.
However, since the enemy had forced them to such a state. Then even if blood dyed the yellow sand, he would let these people know that he, Blood Bear Chai Yuan, couldn't underestimate the troops of Gantian Mountain! (To be continued.
