Chapter 197
The morale of the Tianyuan Army has risen, but the morale of the 150,000 Central Army has been completely suppressed. Even Zhong Wen is no exception. He can't help but beat drums in his heart. Who is this person? Why is it so powerful? Why has I never heard of such a brave and invincible general under Tang Yin's command before?
In fact, Zhong Tian has never paid much attention to Tang Yin, and he is not very familiar with the situation in Tianyuan County. Moreover, Shangguan Yuanrang joined Tang Yin relatively late and has never had a chance to perform, so his reputation is not big yet. Zhong Tian and others have never heard of his name.
Shangguan Yuanrang killed four generals in a row, and his soldiers were in great momentum. On the other hand, the enemy troops all looked horrified. He suddenly felt proud and stood in front of the two army formations. He waved his spiritual sword in his hand and pointed at the square formation where Zhong Wen was. , looked up to the sky and smiled, and said triumphantly: "Zhong Wen, my son, even if you have thousands of conspiracies and tricks, you can't defeat a three-pointed two-edged sword in my hand!" As he spoke, his eyes were shining brightly, and he looked around. The central sergeant shouted loudly: "I am Shangguan Yuanrang, who dares to come out and fight with me again!"
Wow - wherever he glanced, the central sergeants all felt wind behind their backs, their legs became weak, and they retreated involuntarily. The phalanx that had been deployed around them also became commotion.
With the power of just one person, he actually made an army of 150,000 people fear like snakes and scorpions. This is Shangguan Yuanrang.
Zhong Tian was frightened by Shangguan Yuanrang and began to slowly retreat to the back of his own camp. At the same time, he ordered: "Fire arrows! Shoot all the enemy troops to death!"
Following his order, the central troops woke up from a dream, and the archery teams behind them loaded their bows and aimed at Shangguan Yuanrang and the others.
For spiritual warriors, the greatest threat is the arrow formation. Seeing that the opponent no longer dared to fight alone and wanted to use arrow attacks instead, and Zhong Wen wanted to run, Shangguan Yuanrang glared, raised his knife and chased after him. As soon as he moved, the arrow teams around Zhong Wen fired arrows in unison.
Buzz!
In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired, dense as raindrops, overwhelmingly flying towards Shangguan Yuanrang and the Tianyuan Army behind him. The Tianyuan army came lightly armed and did not bring shields. How could they withstand the volley of arrows? At this time, people did not care about the enemy formations on the left and right. In order to avoid the rain of arrows, they had no choice but to rush over.
But how can a person's legs go faster than flying arrows? In just a blink of an eye, hundreds of soldiers from Tianyuan County were hit by arrows. They fell to the ground wailing, and their bodies lying on the ground were instantly dropped. Covered by a rain of arrows, he was shot into a hedgehog.
Shangguan Yuanrang waved the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand, and shot the arrows while rushing forward, but he only had two hands and one sword. No matter how skilled he was in spiritual martial arts, he could not knock down all the arrows. Every time he took a few steps forward, there would be a clanging sound, and from time to time he would be hit by flying eagle feathers all over his body. However, because of his deep cultivation and tough spiritual armor, he would be hit by a few arrows occasionally without any effect.
Soon, Shangguan Yuanrang was close to the enemy formation in front. At this time, he looked for Zhong Wen, but there was no trace of him. He roared angrily and shouted loudly: "Zhong Wen, if you have the guts, don't do it." Come out and fight me to the death!"
Zhong Wen had already hid far away at this time. Not to mention that he couldn't hear his shout, even if he heard it, he wouldn't come out.
Before Shangguan Yuanrang finished speaking, the halberd soldiers standing in the square formation had all stepped forward, and the halberd points stabbed Shangguan Yuanrang directly in the chest and belly.
How could he take these ordinary soldiers seriously? He swung the spiritual knife in his hand outwards, and heard a cracking sound. More than a dozen halberds were broken into two pieces, but before he could continue to attack, the long sword suddenly appeared. The spearmen behind the halberdier had already pressed forward, and the sharp spear points pulled out long cold light and pierced Shangguan Yuanrang's body.
Although the spear was sharp, it could not penetrate his spiritual armor. However, due to its impact, Shangguan Yuanrang still involuntarily took half a step back. Since he started practicing spiritual martial arts, when has he been approached by a weapon? A cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand was also shrouded in the glow. He shouted low and picked out the spiritual sword from bottom to top.
call!
The spiritual energy stirred, the spiritual wind suddenly rose, and countless sharp blades formed by spiritual energy emerged, with him as the center, flying forward in a fan shape. This is the extreme of spiritual chaos, the extreme of spiritual chaos!
As the strong wind blew, the hundreds of Central Army troops in front of him didn't even see clearly how they were coming back. They were cut into pieces by the spirit knives flying around in an instant. Hundreds of living lives disappeared in the blink of an eye. They were all gone, and the bodies were scattered all over the ground, with blood flowing like rivers. With just one move, the halberdier and spearmen in front of him were killed in chaos. The square camp seemed to have been dug into a big hole. Shangguan Yuanrang took the opportunity to rush into the enemy formation, waving the spiritual knife in his hand like snowflakes, and also From time to time, spiritual waves swept out, and the central army that swarmed forward to besiege fell one after another. The bodies around Shangguan Yuanrang's feet were densely covered, and the blood dyed the place red.
The combat power and fighting spirit of the Central Army are indeed unmatched by the local army. Fengren is inherently fierce, and the Central Army has been in battle for a long time. Before handing over, the soldiers may still be afraid, but in a real fight, without the general's order, the soldiers will never retreat, even if they know they will die. It will also push forward hard.
Shangguan Yuanrang sometimes released spiritual waves, sometimes released various spiritual martial arts skills. Countless Central Army soldiers died at his hands, but even so, the number of people besieging him continued to increase. No matter how high a person's cultivation is, spiritual energy is limited after all. Continuously releasing a large-scale killing skill such as Lingluanji can indeed suppress the enemy, but his own spiritual energy is also greatly consumed. Moreover, he is not an inner sect dark spiritual cultivator like Tang Yin, and he cannot replenish spiritual energy on the battlefield. Gradually, Shangguan Yuanrang's nose and temples were sweaty, and steam was emanating from the surface of his spiritual armor.
He was tired, and the Central Army was not relaxed either. On the battlefield, Shangguan Yuanrang was like a demon crawling out of hell. He could continuously release various advanced and rare spiritual martial arts skills. The spiritual energy in his body seemed to have no end and would never dry up. This put too much pressure on the generals and soldiers of the Central Army.
In front of Shangguan Yuanrang, soldiers fell down in groups. Individual lives seemed to be no longer counted, and the casualties of a single person seemed insignificant.
Now the two sides were competing in endurance to see who would give up first.
Zhong Wen, who had hidden in the distance, stood up and watched the battlefield. He watched as his own soldiers surrounded Shangguan Yuanrang, but he could not take him down. Instead, he killed and wounded countless people. The corpses and body parts on the ground piled up more and more. In the end, even his own soldiers who besieged Shangguan Yuanrang could not move.
He had never seen or even heard of a general with such a powerful cultivation in his life. Not to mention that his generals were not his opponents, even if all the retainers from the Shenchi around his father were called, they might not be able to beat him. What should he do?
At first, he saw that the enemy had only 3,000 men, and thought that it would be easy to annihilate them all with his 150,000-man army. But now, he no longer had the confidence he had at the beginning. It was not because the Tianyuan Army fought fiercely, but because of Shangguan Yuanrang.
He did not personally participate in the battle, nor did he command on the spot, but Shangguan Yuanrang had left a deep shadow in his heart during this battle.
When the two sides were fighting fiercely, there was a sudden shout of killing at the gate of Zhongwen Camp. Countless Tianyuan Army soldiers in black clothes and black armor rushed in from outside. The leading general was none other than Peng Haochu, Shangguan Yuanrang's deputy.
Peng Haochu led the Tianyuan Army of more than 50,000 men to rush in, which was beyond the expectations of the Central Army. Due to insufficient preparation, the camp was in chaos, and a large hole was torn in the rear. Peng Haochu led the crowd and drove straight into the heart of the camp.
From a distance, he saw a fierce battle taking place near the central army tent, but he could not see clearly who was fighting the enemy. Peng Haochu stretched his neck and shouted loudly: "Where is General Yuanrang? Peng Haochu, come to help!"
Shangguan Yuanrang, who was trapped in the Central Army, was suddenly refreshed when he heard the voice. He raised the spiritual knife in his hand and used the soul-chasing thorn. With him as the center, countless spiritual waves flew around like arrows. Dozens of soldiers of the Central Army were affected by it. The spiritual waves pierced their bodies and immediately a blood hole appeared. They also fell to the ground.
Taking advantage of the gap when the surrounding enemy soldiers fell to the ground, Shangguan Yuanrang seized the opportunity and shouted back loudly: "I'm here!"
Peng Haochu looked up and looked for the voice. At this time, he could no longer see Shangguan Yuanrang. His eyes were full of soldiers under Zhong Wen. He grinned secretly, but without delaying for a moment, he immediately pointed the sword in his hand forward and shouted: "The whole army rush over there!"
Wow - with Peng Haochu's generals, more than 50,000 Tianyuan soldiers rushed up and killed from behind the Central Army. Shangguan Yuanrang alone had already overwhelmed the Central Army, and now there were so many enemy troops coming, how could they still resist? The Central Army that besieged Shangguan Yuanrang retreated one after another, invisibly making way for the Tianyuan Army that rushed up.
Seeing this, Zhong Wen reacted very quickly and immediately ordered his generals to give up besieging Shangguan Yuanrang, re-arrange the formation, and suppress the opponent. The generals around him agreed and ran out immediately to convey his order. The chaos of the Central Army was controlled in a very short time. The corps commander commanded the thousand-man captain, the thousand-man captain commanded the captain, and the captain commanded the soldiers. It didn't take long for the Central Army of more than 100,000 to form several square formations, with halberds and spearmen charging in front, and archers shooting arrows in the back, engaging in a head-on confrontation with the Tianyuan Army.
The Central Army had too many people, while Peng Haochu's side had only more than 50,000 people, and there was also a gap in combat power between the two sides. Soon, the Central Army not only stabilized its position, but also gradually reversed its disadvantage.
Peng Haochu nodded secretly. The Central Army from Yancheng was indeed powerful. Whether it was the commander's command on the battlefield or the soldiers' adaptability, they were all outstanding. It was difficult for his side to gain an advantage.
When he found Shangguan Yuanrang among the corpses, Peng Haochu could no longer recognize him. Shangguan Yuanrang was covered in blood from head to toe. The old blood coagulated and dried, and new blood shed layer after layer. As his body shook, the dried blood clots fell straight down, and the whole person had turned into a red blood man.
