Ross had run away, leading the 340,000 Celine soldiers in a mad retreat. They were as panicked as a stray dog.
After receiving the order to retreat, the heavy infantrymen who were madly attacking the frontline to support the heavy cavalry also wanted to retreat.
However, they had no chance.
The border army of Great Zhou rushed down from the forest on both sides, completely cutting off their retreat and trapping them like dumplings.
There was basically no suspense in this battle.
Although the Heavy Infantry was very strong, they were simply sitting ducks when their path of retreat was cut off and they did not have the cooperation of other units.
Faced with the spears, crossbows, and catapults of the border army, they could not resist and fell in droves.
Although the Celine heavy infantrymen fought back desperately and tried to break out, it was to no avail.
The heavy cavalry, on the other hand, went completely crazy under the desperate situation. Seeing that it was hopeless to escape from Iron Plateau Ridge, they rushed toward the main city of Shunyi without caring about anything else.
Although the Black Armored Troops were brave, they could not stop every Celine cavalry. After all, the battlefield spanned dozens of miles.
One after another, some of the cavalry rushed out.
The battle lasted until noon of the second day.
The entire Iron Plateau Ridge was quiet.
The Celine army could no longer be seen on the dozens of miles of battlefield.
Thousands of lions and horses were running back and forth in Iron Plateau Ridge in panic.
The corpses of the cavalry were everywhere on the ground, dyeing the entire ground red.
There were countless pits on the ground, which were filled with congealed blood and filled with a strong smell of blood.
Near the border of Iron Plateau Ridge.
There was an additional mountain here.
A mountain of Celine heavy infantrymen's corpses that was dozens of meters high!
The border army soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield.
They searched for the pills and resources on the Celine soldiers and took off their armor.
The materials of the armor were quite good and could be recycled by the military workshop.
"The battle of Iron Plateau Ridge was fought beautifully. Young Master Jun is the God of War of Great Zhou!"
The generals were grinning from ear to ear. They looked at Jun Wu Xie with passion and admiration.
"I am not a God of War. I am just an ordinary citizen of Great Zhou. I just did my best in the face of an invasion."
"Young Master Jun, you are too humble."
"You call that your best? Then what about ours?"
"Of course you're doing your best." Jun Wu Xie smiled and said, "Those who are strong should do more, and those who are weak should do less. Do what you can do."
"Young Master Jun, for this great victory, we must treat you to a drink!"
Some generals said with a smile, and the other generals immediately agreed.
"Forget about drinking." Jun Wu Xie smiled and shook his head. Then, he walked to Ji Inran's side and asked, "How is Jinhu City?"
"We've been trying to contact them." Ji Inran's expression was solemn. "But there's been no response from them …"
Hearing this news, the smiles on the generals' faces froze.
"Marshal, this general requests your orders!" A general in black armor knelt down on one knee and said, "I am willing to lead thirty thousand black armored soldiers and rush to Jinhu City immediately!"
"When will we arrive?" Ji Inran asked.
"One day. If we don't arrive at Jinhu City by noon tomorrow, I will bring my head to you!"
Ji Inran was startled and said, "This place is two thousand li away from Jinhu City. There are a few hundred li where the weather is bad and extremely cold. Can you really reach it in one day?"
"This general is willing to give a military order!"
"Good! You are indeed a good man of my black armored army! Immediately mobilize the army and set off! Go to the resource department and get three times the amount of supplies! "
"This general obeys!"
The general in black armor immediately retreated.
Jun Wu Xie looked at the general's back and said, "How is the situation at the other checkpoints?"
"The other checkpoints are fine, but the main problem is Jinhu City. The environment there is too bad. I'm worried that the soldiers …"
"If you're worried, we'll go and see for ourselves! The battle here is over. The small number of cavalry that managed to break out will not be able to reach the main city. They will be annihilated outside the city. "
Ji Inran thought for a while and nodded.
"Then wait for me here. I'll go back to the main city."
Jun Wu Xie finished speaking and flew away.
His speed was extremely fast. Not long after, he returned to the Marshal's residence in the main city.
"Brother Wu Xie!"
"Young master!"
Yueyao and Concubine Ling came to welcome him.
"Concubine Ling, quickly heal me!"
Jun Wu Xie's aura dissipated and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
His body shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The originally full muscles had all disappeared. He was so thin that only skin and bones were left. His eyes and cheeks were sunken, looking very frightening.
Yueyao's heart tightened as her hands tightly clenched the corner of her clothes.
Concubine Ling was also shocked.
She had never seen Jun Wu Xie like this. The flesh and blood in his body had been destroyed by the Burning Soldiers!
She quickly used the Great Healing Technique to provide him with an endless supply of life force to nourish his body and repair the terrible damage in his body.
"Yao 'er, don't worry. I'm fine. I'll recover soon."
Jun Wu Xie said weakly to Yueyao and stretched out his hand to her.
Yueyao hurried forward and held his hand. She looked at him with a pained expression and her eyes were misty.
The Great Healing Technique not only nourished and repaired his body, but also stimulated his life force source.
His shriveled body was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. The disappeared muscles were quickly regenerating.
In just a short two hours.
His body had returned to its normal state, and his essence, energy, and spirit had almost recovered to their peak state.
"Young master, your life force source is too strong. This recovery ability is really incredible."
Concubine Ling exclaimed. She had once been a supreme being of a world. Over the years, she had seen too many talented people, but no one in this realm had such a freakish recovery ability.
"I have to leave for Jinhu City. I'll be back in two days at most."
After he finished speaking, he kissed Yueyao's forehead and disappeared in front of her eyes.
…
It only took him and Ji Yinlan fifteen minutes to reach the Jinhu City area and the defensive line.
They were deeply shocked by the scene in front of them.
Almost all of the 30,000 soldiers of the border army and the Black Armored Army had been sacrificed.
Now, there were less than a few hundred people alive!
These few hundred people were close to each other with their backs against the ice wall. Their bodies were full of cracks.
Their flesh was split open, and they were pale without a trace of blood.
Their eyeballs were almost frozen, and they could barely move.
Outside the position, there were soldiers of the border army and the Black Armored Army in all kinds of positions.
They were like statues, frozen in place forever.
There were no enemy corpses around them, and there were no traces of battle.
"Marshal …" A captain of the Black Armored Army opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "We didn't complete the mission. It's only been a day, and we have no one left …"
Ji Inran shook his head gently, tears blurring his eyes.
"The soldiers wanted to kill the enemy, but they couldn't move. They just rushed out and had no more strength. They froze to death, froze to death …"
As he said this, tears welled up in his eyes.
In an instant, the tears in his eyes froze into ice crystals, freezing his entire eyeball.
Jun Wu Xie saw this and quickly took action. He used his vital energy to protect the eyeball, and the temperature of his vital energy melted the ice crystals. Only then did the eyeball remain intact.
"Don't talk anymore. You are all heroes of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You are all brave men of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I, Ji Inran, admire you and am proud of you!"
Ji Inran choked with sobs. After coming here personally, he finally understood how bad the environment was for the soldiers who were only in the Houtian and Xiantian Realm!
"Enemy, enemy …" The soldier looked at the sky and suddenly got up. "The enemy is about to attack again!"
"Have a good rest. You don't have to worry about the rest."
Jun Wu Xie pressed him down and gave Ji Inran a look.
Ji Inran immediately walked towards the entrance of the canyon.
He released his golden vital energy and enveloped all the soldiers who were still alive. He used the warmth of his vital energy to expel the cold from their bodies. At the same time, he released his vital energy to heal their injuries.
The ice on the soldiers' bodies melted, revealing the hideous wounds on their broken armor. It was a ghastly sight.
Jun Wu Xie's eyelids twitched.
These soldiers were just ordinary Xiantian Realm warriors. They didn't have as strong a physique as he did when he was in the Xiantian Realm.
In this harsh environment, they were still able to fight with serious injuries. What kind of willpower did they need to be able to do this?
Their bodies probably couldn't function anymore. They could only rely on their strong willpower to support them, allowing them to complete the impossible attacks again and again!
He felt very uncomfortable.
Coming here had touched his heart greatly.
He used to think that he was tough enough.
But now, looking at these soldiers, he realized that every one of them had willpower that was not weaker than his!
They didn't have as strong a physique as him, but they had unimaginable willpower!
The Black Armored Army!
He once again got to know the Black Armored Army!
This was an army with iron willpower!
