Chapter 323: Fang King (2/2)
“We’ll lose for sure if we keep fighting like this!”
The several vice generals saw this situation and knew that the only way to survive was to open the gates.The rushed at Dongfang Zhan together, wildly attacking without caring about their lives, only caring about opening the gate.
How could Dongfang Zhan allow them to succeed?
This white haired old general charged into the Earth Dragon cavalry and slashed down twenty knights in just one sweep, finally killing a 9th Awakened Soul Layer vice general.Although he had suffered seven-eight wounds, he fought like a cornered beast, so wild that no one could withstand him,
“This old lunatic!Does he want to perish together with us?”
There were over eight hundred Earth Dragon cavalry already defeated and there were three thousand wounded by this wild attack.Their momentum was getting weaker and they began to attack less.
Finally with the assistance of the Blood Hawk Camp.
The entire group of Earth Dragon knights were eliminated.
Dongfang Zhan continued sweeping through, killing all the War Hounds experts that had infiltrated.
Although the Battle Dragon Fortress was temporarily saved, it was a tragic battle with severe losses, almost making it crumble down.At this moment, the fighting had already lasted two hours. Inside and outside, blood flowed like a river, with both sides suffering countless casualties!
“Keep defending!”
“The War Hounds can’t hold on any longer!”
Dongfang Zhan’s body was covered in blood and he had suffered several dozen wounds, but he still brandished that giant sword that had many holes, almost as if his body no longer belonged to him.
Of the five hundred Blood Hawk Camp generals, at least half of them died in this fight.This was the trump card of the Dongfang Family!
Dongfang Zhan felt a dagger pierce into his heart, but if he could defend the frontline fortress, it didn’t matter what kind of price he had to pay!As long as the frontline fortress wasn’t penetrated, the Southern Summer Country had the ability to launch a counterattack! From the present situation, it seemed like victory was right in front of them!
Finally!
The retreat horn sounded from the War Hounds.
This giant army threw down several hundred thousand corpses as they slowly retreated like the tide.The Southern Summer Soldiers covered in blood who had fought for several hours gave out excited cheers.The War Hounds finally couldn’t fight any longer and were retreating?
“The War Hounds are retreating!”
“The War Hounds are finally retreating!”
“The Southern Summer Country has won!Long live the Southern Summer Country! Long live the marshal!”
The War Hounds military system was very chaotic.When the heard the retreat signal, the entire team quickly began to retreat, suddenly causing chaos amongst them.The threw away their armour and ran, looking very embarrassing as they retreated. From this situation, it seems like it was impossible for a second attack.
At this time.
The cavalry unit Dongfang Zhan had prepared set out.
This was a surprise attack unit the War Hounds never would have expected.The Southern Summer army had just suffered a bloody battle, but they still sent out soldiers to chase them!
The two cavalry groups did not have many people, with each team having around forty-fifty thousand people!
However, the key to strategy was not quantity, but rather having the right timing!
When the cavalry left the gate and charged forward on the plains, they were like two sharp blades piercing into the War Hounds formation, wildly harvesting away.
The War Hounds were currently retreating.They had failed in sieging the city and were quickly fleeing, avoiding the rain of arrows from the walls.They were already very ashamed and their morale had frozen, only caring about running away, how could they fight back?This was already an one sided slaughter. Not long from now, at least ten thousand War Hounds soldiers would be killed, becoming a pile of bloody corpses.
Chu Tian couldn’t help praising, “Beautiful move!”
The old general really was the most experience general, using the cavalry at just the right time.
The War Hounds were already frustrated at failing to attack the city, if they lost another fifty-eighty thousand people while they were running, it was equal to pouring salt on their wounds, making them unable to think about attacking the city again.After this battle ended, the War Hounds would flee in disgrace back to the prairies!
The Southern Summer Country had also paid a large price, but that was mostly in terms of damage to the fortress.It would only need around a year to fix and most the Southern Summer forces were preserved.
If it wasn’t for the fall of the Southern Summer King…..This would have been a beautiful battle!
However, when no one expected it, a sudden change happened on the battlefield.
A deep drum came from the center of the battlefield.This kind of drum had never been heard before and although it was deep, it was still very strong, as if it came from the earth itself.This sound was filled with battle intent, completely different from the defeated War Hounds army.
Dongfang Zhan’s face instantly changed, “Retreat!Quickly retreat!”
Dongfang Zhan had already left the watchtower and in his current position, he could not send down orders.
In just a short ten minutes, the battle in front of them underwent a shocking change.The flags of various colours and shapes that were scattered all around suddenly disappeared without a trace.The horns of various sound all suddenly stopped.
In the center of the War Hounds army, a large group of black flags suddenly appeared.
This was an army that had not made a move since the beginning of the fight.They had remained in the center of the War Hounds formation the entire time and had suddenly appeared in this moment.It was like from within the deep sea, a dangerous hidden rock had suddenly appeared!
This is bad!
The War Hounds still had tricks!
They hadn’t used their full strength the entire time and had even pretended to retreat.It was like the enemy commander had a full understanding of Dongfang Zhan’s style and Dongfang Zhan knew nothing about the enemy!
Who was the commander of this army?
Where had such an organized army appear from?
Dongfang Zhan had a strong sense of foreboding within him.There was a change in the War Hound Plains he could never imagine and the Southern Summer intelligence team had not collected a single piece of information!
“Fang King, Fang King, Fang King!”
The War Hounds army began to call together, just like their emperor was about to appear.
