Chapter 517 Pei Xingjian’s skill - Frugal Strategy!

Facing the oncoming Dragon Sparrow Dharma Image, Pei Yuanqing chose to confront it head-on, wielding the eight-sided plum blossom silver hammer. The silver-white energy surged wildly, blocking Long Junzuo's fierce attack.

The yellowish-brown and silver-white qi intertwined and collided with each other, bursting out with dazzling light.

The battle lasted for a long time and the outcome was still undecided, but the soldiers of both armies had already killed each other with blood flowing like a river and corpses strewn all over the ground.

Although Long Junzuo was brave, the Wenzhou army behind him began to collapse under Han Xin's exquisite layout and the fierce attack of the Jiuxiao army.

Long Junzuo, who was fighting with Pei Yuanqing at this time, diverted his attention and saw that the King of Sparrow's army behind him was divided and surrounded by the Jiuxiao Army and was caught in a bitter battle. He was extremely anxious.

If this continues, not only will they fail to break through Han Xin's defense line, but they may even be wiped out.

In desperation, Long Junzuo had to grit his teeth and make a difficult decision.

He directly ordered the newly recruited Wenzhou Army soldiers to charge towards Han Xin's line as a tentative offensive force.

These Wenzhou Army soldiers were originally the defenders in the city, and were not his trusted troops.

Among them, some were once the backbone of their families, and some were farmers working in the fields. But now, because of the war, they are forced to put on armor, take up weapons, and embark on a road of no return.

In their eyes, there is fear of war and confusion about the future, but more importantly, there is a deep helplessness and unwillingness.

However, at this critical moment, they also became pawns in Long Junzuo's hands and were pushed to the brink of death.

Long Junzuo knew that this was a cruel move, but he had no way out.

He shouted loudly, ordering the Wenzhou Army to charge, and the soldiers, although reluctant, had to obey the order and rushed towards the Jiuxiao Army's position.

Shouting and waving his weapon, he tried to use his own flesh and blood to open a way of survival for Long Junzuo.

However, Han Xin had already anticipated Long Junzuo's move.

He chuckled and ordered the Jiuxiao Army to change their formation, waiting for the Wenzhou Army to charge.

When the Wenzhou Army soldiers rushed to the Jiuxiao Army's position, they were already surrounded by heavy battle formations.

The soldiers of the Jiuxiao Army came from all directions like ghosts and surrounded them.

Seeing this, Long Junzuo felt a little sad, but he did not order the organization.

In his heart, these soldiers of the Wenzhou Army were just innocent victims.

The soldiers of the Jiuxiao Army attacked them like a violent storm. Their weapons drew deadly arcs in the air, and every swing took away lives.

The bodies of those Wenzhou Army soldiers drew sad and beautiful arcs in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up again.

The blood dyed the land and the sky red.

However, even so, Long Junzuo's army was ultimately unable to withstand the fierce attack of the Jiuxiao Army.

Under the leadership of Han Xin, the Jiuxiao Army came like a surging tide. Their offensive was sharp and fierce, as if they wanted to completely destroy everything that stood in their way.

Long Junzuo's army finally collapsed in the face of this unstoppable force.

The front line was completely broken, and countless Wenzhou soldiers fell down like wheat being cut, and were slaughtered, with their high flags trampled into the mud. Just when Long Junzuo was in despair, the eastern sky suddenly heard rapid and heavy drumbeats, like the wrath of an ancient thunder god, shaking every inch of land and people's hearts.

That sound seemed like the deepest sigh between heaven and earth, foreshadowing that new changes were about to come to this already devastated battlefield.

Following Su Qin's advice, King Lu, who had been staying on the flank, could no longer suppress his anxiety and ambition, and led his army, rushing in like a tide, intending to launch a surprise attack on the flank of the Jiuxiao Army, rescue Long Junzuo, and also want to get a share of the pie in Wenzhou.

The current situation in Wenzhou is that the Jiuxiao Army is strong while the alliance between King Que and the Prince is weak.

Originally facing the Yunzhou Jiuxiao Army with 300,000 soldiers, Wenzhou, with its flat terrain, was only used as a buffer zone and a forward fortress.

Every time they resisted the Jiuxiao Army, several states in the rear of Wenzhou worked together to keep the enemy out of the country.

But now the Dayong Dynasty is divided into pieces, and everyone is fighting on their own. A single vassal king cannot resist the united Jiuxiao Army.

Therefore, at this time, Shangguan Lie led several weak vassal kings of the vassal alliance to fight to the death with Cao Cao.

The military strength of the coalition forces of the vassal kings in Luwang City, led by King Lu, is actually not sufficient.

In this situation, King Lu would definitely help Long Junzuo, who was also under the command of one of the kings of Dayong.

At this time, Han Xin in the Jiuxiao army heard the news, but there was no panic on his face. Instead, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Because the alliance of vassal kings took action in advance, Han Xin and his men had already anticipated that King Lu would do this, so they laid numerous ambushes on the east side in advance, like an invisible net, waiting for the enemy to fall into the trap.

When the two armies met, the battle suddenly became extremely fierce.

King Lu's army is composed of carefully selected men, brave and fearless, like a storm, unstoppable.

However, facing the stubborn resistance of the Jiuxiao Army, they felt like they had hit a solid wall. No matter how hard they charged, they could not break through the seemingly weak but actually indestructible defense line.

At this time, on the flank of Jiuxiao Army, there were flames of war and bones of soldiers were scattered all over the ground. Pei Xingjian, wearing silver armor and holding a long sword, stood on a high hill.

The allied forces of the princes came like a tide, with great momentum, flying dust, and the sound of horse hooves and shouts interweaving into one, shaking the earth.

However, Pei Xingjian remained calm and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if everything was under control.

He gently waved the sword in his hand, and the soldiers of the Jiuxiao Army changed their formation in an instant as if they had received the will of the gods, like the dance of dragons and snakes, unpredictable.
