But until Hu Zhen and her West Cold Army arrived at the front of the mountain, Sun Jian and his soldiers were completely unmoved. They only saw Sun Jian's camp being built consecutively for over ten miles, all of it built on the mountain. On the mountain, flags were flying about, swords and spears were flying about, soldiers were standing solemnly, cold Arrows s were pointing straight at the West Cold Army at the bottom of the mountain.

Hu Zhen understood, Sun Jian wanted to rely on the terrain to lure him over. He could not help but feel infuriated as he pointed at the soldiers of Jing Prefecture on the mountain and cursed. However, there wasn't the slightest movement from the mountain, as long as they went up, they would greet them with Arrows s. Hu Zhen was helpless, he could only return and command the three armies to attack the mountain.

Immediately after, the war drums rang loudly, and the West Cold Army under Hu Zhen's command roared and started to attack the mountain. There were not many people on the mountain slope. Although countless arrows and rocks had fallen from the mountain, and a lot of people from Hu Zhen's Ministry of Reporting were hit by the arrows and fell to the ground, the archery rain did not stop Hu Zhen from moving forward.

Hu Zhen ordered the soldiers of the West Cold Army to place their shields on top of their heads and continue advancing quickly. At the same time, he also ordered the cavalry soldiers to release arrows at the foot of the mountain in order to suppress the archer. After a short while, Hu Zhen had rushed to the place where Sun Jian and his men were gathered, and used the archery rain to build a ladder.

The West Cold Army's Assault Warrior gritted her teeth as she used her sharp blade to quickly climb up the ladder, but she did not expect that Sun Jian's army was already prepared, at this time, the Walls suddenly dropped countless of huge boulders, causing a series of soul-shaking loud sounds. Most of the soldiers who were climbing up the ladder were also smashed into pieces. Even though a small number of West Cold Army soldiers managed to avoid the interception and climbed onto the Walls, with the advantage of the opponent's forces, they were all quickly killed.

A warrior from West Cold Army climbed onto the Walls with her outstanding skills. On the Walls, the warrior waved her big blade and crazily slashed left and right, killing more than ten Jing Zhou Army soldiers in a short amount of time. However, facing the counterattack from countless Jingzhou Army soldiers, the warrior was quickly chopped into several pieces.

This was the advantage of building a stronghold on Mount Yi. It was as sturdy as a city wall. Even if the attacking army was much higher than the defending army, only a small number of soldiers were able to board the Walls at the same time. However, the city guards had absolute superiority in military strength, and the soldiers who attacked the Walls could only face the fate of being strangled.

The battle lasted from morning until the sun set. Hu Zhen attacked four times, but all of them failed as he threw away a few hundred lives for nothing. Even after paying the price of nearly three thousand casualties, Walls still did not budge an inch.

Hu Zhen had a temper of an ox. The harder it was, the more he wanted to attack. Especially at this time, when Hu Zhen was listening to his orders, he had Xu Rong following behind him. Hu Zhen believed that if he failed to take Sun Jian down, and he lost face for Xiliang General, he would definitely be ridiculed by Xu Rong in the future.

In the next few days, Hu Zhen fought nonstop, not caring about the life and death of the West Cold Army at all. However, Sun Jian decided to defend against them using only the Arrows and stone. He did not give Hu Zhen any chance to retaliate.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Sun Jian and Hu Zhen were deadlocked at the side of the Thou River and neither could do anything to the other. Although Hu Zhen attacked desperately, he did not take a step forward. Sun Jian hid on top of the mountain and stood on top of the Walls to watch the snow on the Thou River.

Although the snow had stopped falling, the snow on the ground was still very thick. The northern wind whistled as it blew past the Thou River, causing the snow on the ice to float up. It formed a cluster of snow in the air, spinning non-stop above the Thou River, causing the West Cold Army to be dazzled.

”Kill …” West Cold Army roared, and rushed forward again. Sun Jian could not remember how many times the West Cold Army had attacked him. He only frowned slightly, and looked past the attacking soldiers and saw Hu Zhen in the distance.

Connecting the attack with half a month's worth of attack and not obtaining any form of attack by, caused Hu Zhen to become more and more impatient, and he flew into a rage every now and then. Today, he was even more manic. He only left ten thousand soldiers to guard the battle formation and threw all his soldiers onto the battle wall with Sun Jian.

Sun Jian's mouth revealed a faint sneer, a person's bold plan suddenly formed in his mind. He immediately ordered the herald to find his subordinates and coldly ordered: ”Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, the two of you lead ten thousand of your men to guard the Walls.

”Attack?” All the officers were shocked as they looked at Sun Jian in shock. In the past few days, Sun Jian had kept on ordering everyone to defend according to the stronghold, no one was allowed to go out to meet the enemy, and even ordered them to die, if anyone came out to meet the enemy, they would behead that person, but why would he suddenly come out to meet the enemy today?

”Hehe …” Look, Hu Zhen hasn't been able to attack for a long time, he has already lost his sense of direction. Today, he actually sent a large portion of his forces into the attack, leaving behind only ten thousand people to defend the array. This is our chance to defeat the enemy, follow me to the back of Hu Zhen's army and attack them, we will defeat the West Cold Army in one go. ”

Sun Jian swept a glance across the generals and said confidently. Actually, he had discovered Hu Zhen's negligence from the first day that Hu Zhen had attacked him, but he did not know if it was intentional on Hu Zhen's part. After so many days had passed, he concluded that Hu Zhen had indeed been careless.

Just as Hu Zhen was about to attack, Sun Jian led his army and retreated out of the stronghold. With the cover of the hills, they reached the lower reaches of Thou River. They were prepared to cross the Thou River and attack Hu Zhen's army from the back.

But at this time, Hu Zhen was still in the dark, shouting and commanding the West Cold Army to attack the Jingzhou Army. He simply did not expect that Sun Jian's main force had already left the battlefield and was attacking from behind, and the Profound Sky Sect was getting closer and closer to him.
