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

Everyone rushed forward. Fang Chao, Wan Fei, Zhang Yi, Xiu Yun and others stepped forward to dissuade them. They talked a lot and said, "Brother Yuan, the defenders of Biqiu City are no match for us. We will kill as many reinforcements as Yunzhong City brings. Why should we be afraid of them?"

After hearing this, Duan Tianyang frowned and said seriously: "Don't take it lightly. Since the first reinforcement has appeared, there will definitely be a second, third, and even more reinforcements coming. If we confront them head-on, we may be trapped in Biqiu City and it will be difficult to escape!"

He then added: "Besides, we have almost completely looted the city of Biqiu. Now is the best time to evacuate. If we continue to stay and fight them head-on, it will only increase unnecessary casualties."

Chi Xun listened and nodded in agreement, "Brother Yuan is right. Our main purpose of attacking Biqiu City this time is to obtain property and make our Chang's army famous. Now that our goal has been achieved, there is no need to risk fighting them here."

Since Chang Yuan and Chi Xun had said this, although everyone was unwilling, they could only nod obediently and say, "Got it, Brother Yuan!"

Duan Tianyang quickly organized the Chang family army scattered throughout Biqiu City, equipped with more than a dozen carts of looted spoils, and resolutely left Biqiu City, rushing towards Lingfei Town.

After walking for a while, Duan Tianyang looked back at the team and found that the number of people had obviously decreased a lot.

There were originally 2,000 troops, and even taking casualties into account, there should be at least 1,000 left, but now there are less than 1,000.

He glanced at his soldiers, trying to find Fang Chao, but there was no trace of him.

He couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Where's Fang Chao? Where did he go?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Zhang Yi answered cautiously: "Brother Yuan, Fang Chao took many brothers from the first battalion to stop the Yunzhong Army. He said that we robbed too many things this time and were moving too slowly, so someone had to cover our retreat. He also said that he would personally chop off the head of the commander of the Yunzhong Army as a gift to Brother Yuan!"

This is like lighting a light in the toilet, seeking death!

Duan Tianyang stopped helplessly, his mind racing. He turned to the crowd and said, "You go ahead, I'll go back to pick them up."

"Brother Yuan..." someone shouted worriedly, "This is too dangerous, we can't do this!"

Duan Tianyang took a deep breath and said firmly: "Fang Chao and the soldiers of the First Battalion are not afraid of danger and are willing to stay behind to cover our retreat. How can I retreat? You guys go quickly and don't worry about me." After that, he turned his horse around and walked back resolutely.

Zhang Yi, Wan Fei, Xiu Yun and others saw this and chased after him, shouting in unison: "Brother Yuan, we'll go with you!"

"No! Go back everyone!" Duan Tianyang flatly refused.

"Brother Yuan..." Everyone looked embarrassed.

"Return to Lingfei Town immediately, this is an order!" Duan Tianyang glared at everyone fiercely, then galloped away on his horse.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Chi Xun signaled to Wang Da and Li Yong, "You two must protect Brother Yuan. If anything goes wrong, you don't have to come back!"

Li Yong and Wang Da agreed in unison and quickly rode their horses to catch up.

Duan Tianyang heard the sound of horse hooves from behind, looked back, and found Li Yong and Wang Da following closely behind him, and thought to himself that it was troublesome.

He immediately reined in his horse, turned around and asked, "Didn't I tell you to go back to Lingfei Town first? Why are you following me?"

"Wherever Brother Yuan is, we'll go there!"

Duan Tianyang frowned, sighed secretly, and said nothing more, continuing to ride his horse forward.

At this time, the First Battalion led by Fang Chao had already engaged in battle with the Yunzhong Army.

The number of Yunzhong Army is indeed not large, only 500 people, which is roughly the same as the strength of the First Battalion.

Although the two armies were equal in number, the soldiers of the First Battalion did not seem to take the Yunzhong Army seriously, probably because the victory in the attack on Bhikkhu City gave them confidence.

Fang Chao sat upright on the horse's back, his eyes revealing disdain.

He turned his head and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers who practice martial arts, charge to the front, and the rest of the brothers, follow closely behind, and move forward courageously. Today, our First Battalion will show Brother Yuan who is the best in the army!"

"Kill!" The soldiers of the first battalion roared in unison, their voices shaking the sky.

As the distance between the two sides' positions continued to shorten, suddenly, a low roar came from the opposite Yunzhong Army's position.

Immediately afterwards, a wave of arrows as dense as rain shot towards them.

Fang Chao remained calm and ordered, "Raise your shields!"

Under his command, the soldiers of the Chang family army quickly raised their heavy shields, forming an indestructible barrier.

The entire phalanx of 500 people seemed to be covered by a thick iron wall above their heads. Arrows fell on their shields, making clanging sounds, but none of them could penetrate this solid defense.

"Humph, you dare to show off such a petty trick?" Fang Chao sneered disdainfully. He watched the distance between the two sides shrinking, and suddenly shouted: "Charge!"

Following his order, more than ten martial artists rushed out from the first camp.

They were dressed in armor and holding mysterious weapons, and they rushed towards the Yunzhong Army position opposite them like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Just when they were only a few meters away from the Yunzhong Army's position, suddenly, two rows of sharp crossbow arrows shot out from the Yunzhong Army's position.

Upon seeing this, the martial artists waved their weapons to block.

After taking the first round of crossbow attacks, they gathered their strength, accelerated and charged forward, vowing to prevent the opponent from having time to launch a second round of crossbow arrows.

At this moment, the soldiers in front of the Yunzhong Army retreated one after another.

Then, a hidden warrior wearing jet-black armor and holding a black sword walked out of the crowd.

Facing the oncoming martial artists from the Chang family army, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and suddenly swung the black knife in his hand, and several clouds of black mist flew out.

The two sides were very close to each other. Several martial artists realized that something was wrong and wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

The black mists quickly flew to them and tightly wrapped around them.

The black mist seemed ethereal, but it was stronger than iron chains. Although the martial artists struggled hard, they could not break free.

Their bodies were shaking, they stood there unable to move, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down their foreheads.

The hidden warrior sneered contemptuously, holding the black sword, and slowly walked towards the martial artists.

Seeing this, the other martial artists in the First Battalion roared in anger, raised their swords and rushed towards him.

However, just as they were about to approach each other, a whistling sound of strong wind suddenly came from the crowd of Yunzhong Army.

Everyone was startled and turned their heads to look, only to see several silver lightning bolts shooting out from the Yunzhong Army and heading straight towards them...
