Outside Heavenly Wolf City, countless wild mountains and yellow patches were everywhere, falling trees and bleak ghost energy surging into the sky.
The hundred thousand troops of Chongming Island were arranged on the southwest side of the city, with banners blocking the sun, swords rattling, formations dense, and killing intent lingtian. Twenty gigantic troop carriers were floating in the air, and the light emitted by the floating array dispelled the cold ghost Qi.
Heavenly Wolf City was completely enveloped in a hazy and filthy mist. Clumps of ghost mist flew back and forth in the sky above the city wall. It was like a lifeless and gloomy hell. The strong stench of decay was sent to it by the wind. It was simply disgusting.
The Silver Warrier Jiang Dongchen looked at the ghost city with a cold expression, as if he wanted to see through the entire city. This time, the commander in chief of the three services was Du Ru'nan and the vice commander was Du Ruhui. However, the one who really led the battle was the Silver Warrier Jiang Dongchen.
Jiang Dongchen, who had won the Silver Warrier title, was naturally not an easy target. Ever since Chongming Army entered Star Continent, they had fought four battles with the ghost army. Apart from the fierce battle outside Heavenly Arch City, he had commanded the other three battles. Three battles and three victories had killed more than ten thousand ghost troops until they reached Heavenly Wolf City.
At this moment, the ghost race's defeated troops had already retreated into Heavenly Wolf City!
Jiang Dongchen did not become arrogant because of Lian Zhan's successive victories and blindly launched an attack on Sky Wolf City. Instead, he ordered the army to set up a formation outside the city and personally come to observe Sky Arch City. Although Jiang Dongchen had fought three battles with the Ghost army and had a certain understanding of the Ghost army's tactics, this was the first siege, so he was very cautious.
Behind Jiang Dongchen, the 100,000 Chongming Army soldiers were eager to try their hand on their magic treasures, ready to charge into the city and slaughter all the ghosts. Their three victories in three battles made them complacent. They thought that the ghost army was nothing more than this. They even had doubts about the fighting strength of the Heavenly Star Army, because the Heavenly Star Army had actually been defeated by such a weak ghost army.
Inside Heavenly Wolf City, Ghost King Lie stood solemnly on top of the city wall, his battle robe spread out like a bat. Beside Ghost King Lie were dozens of high-ranking Ghost Race generals. Ghost Governor Lu Ge, who had been injured by Chu Jun's blazing sun that day, was also there. It seemed that he had completely recovered.
"Young Marshal, they are very cautious. They did not attack the city immediately!" A ghost general said.
"These Chongming Army are strict in discipline, formations, formidable in battle, skilled in battle techniques and formations, well-organized and well-organized. The generals who command the battle are not simple!" Ghost King Lie nodded and replied.
Lu Ge coughed softly and said, "Young Marshal is right. The one who commanded the battle should be a Silver Warrier . However, the commander-in-chief is Du Ru'nan . He is overjoyed. He has tasted the sweetness of defeating us consecutively. His appetite must have swelled!"
A ghost general jokingly said, "Hehe, it's a pity that we don't know that our Young Marshal's appetite is even greater. Continuing to cheat and lose is nothing more than to swallow up their 100,000 troops in one bite!"
Within the Chongming Military Formation, Du Ru'nan and Du Ruhui stood a few miles behind the Central Army, surrounded by five thousand elite personal guards.
"What the hell is Jiang Dongchen doing? Why hasn't he ordered an attack yet?" Du Ru'nan frowned and said to himself.
Du Ru'nan couldn't help but feel a little smug as he continuously defeated the ghost army along the way. It was as if Arch-City was right in front of him today. As long as he recovered it, he would become the first commander-in-chief to recover the lost ground in the hands of the ghost race. That kind of victory would be a great victory for Ming Zhengyan.
Du Ru'nan was anxious, but he wasn't the kind of person who liked to command blindly and be headstrong. He knew that he didn't have the ability to command the battle, so he left all the responsibility for commanding the battle to Jiang Dongchen.
After waiting for a long time, Du Ru'nan finally couldn't help but ask, "Go and call Jiang Dongchen over to this marshal!"
A personal guard immediately accepted the order. A short while later, Jiang Dongchen rushed over and cupped his fists, saying, "Greetings, Commander-in-Chief!"
Du Ru'nan waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be too polite. He asked, "Why hasn't General Jiang sent troops to attack the city?"
Jiang Dongchen hesitated for a moment before he said, "The situation in the city is unknown, and our army hasn't fought a siege war with the ghosts yet. If we attack the city rashly, I'm afraid we'll suffer a loss. Furthermore, I feel that it's a bit inappropriate at the end of the day!"
"Oh, what's wrong?" Du Ruhui asked first.
"At the end of the day, I feel that this journey has gone too smoothly. The battle prowess of the ghost army makes me doubt it!"
Du Ru'nan frowned and said, "Do you mean to say that the ghosts deliberately cheated us to fall for it?"
Jiang Dongchen nodded.
Du Ru'nan pondered for a moment and smiled, "You're too worried. If the ghost army is trying to trick me, then the price would be too high. There were more than 20,000 casualties in Heavenly Arch City and more than 10,000 losses in the three battles along the way. Do you think it's necessary to add up to more than 30,000?"
Jiang Dongchen originally wanted to say that we also lost a lot of money, but he swallowed the words when he got to the edge of his mouth. The ones who lost a lot were the allied forces of the various sects, not the Chongming Army.
"General Jiang, if you have any misgivings, you can send a small group of people to attack first!" Du Ruhui suggested.
"This is precisely the intention of the general at the end!"
Du Ru'nan hurriedly said, "Alright, General Jiang can command as much as he wants!"
Within Heavenly Wolf City, Ghost Governor Lu laughed and said, "They're attacking!"
The ghost generals gazed over and saw an army slowly moving towards Heavenly Wolf City. It was obvious that they were about to launch an attack.
"There are only a thousand people here," he said with a frown. "I'm afraid they're here to probe!"
"Cunning human!" Ghost King Lie sneered and ordered, "When they get close, the entire army will go out and bite their troops as fast as they can. Let's see if they can save them or not!"
The Chongming Army's thousand-man squad slowly approached Sky Wolf City. When they approached the city wall, the ghost qi in Sky Wolf City instantly surged. Dark ghosts swarmed out and pounced towards the thousand-man squad . The Chongming Army's thousand-man team seemed to have been prepared for this. As soon as they turned around, the front team changed to the back team and retreated in an orderly and rapid manner. However, the Chongming Army's speed was clearly not as fast as the ghost race's. Soon, the tail of the troop was bitten. The Chongming Army that had been chased away did not panic and turned around to fight the ghost race's blood.
Seeing this, Jiang Dongchen said coldly, "It's best if you're willing to leave the city!"
Then he waved the flag in his hand, and two teams of ten thousand people immediately surrounded him from the flank, followed by twenty thousand troops charging towards the peak from the front. The ghost army continuously pounced out of the city, and a tragic battle started outside Heavenly Wolf City.
At this moment, Chu Jun led the various coalition forces and rushed over. Seeing the scene of the close to 100,000 people fighting from afar, he was instantly stunned. Only by witnessing the magnificent scene with his own eyes could he experience the shock of violent clashes between flesh and blood, life and death. It was simply indescribable, because under this situation, any words were pale and powerless.
Du Ru'nan stood with his hands behind his back and stared fixedly at the changes on the battlefield. Although his expression was calm on the surface, his heart was extremely nervous. The ghost race's counterattack this time was so fierce.
The sun gradually rose and evaporated the early morning mist. However, it could not evaporate the blood that flowed all over the ground. People fell at every moment. The corpse of the Blood Drenched Forest was spread over the open space outside the city. There were also wounded people screaming and struggling on the corpses. Before they could get up, they were killed by the enemy soldiers.
Jiang Dongchen stared expressionlessly at the battlefield. He kept waving the flag to command the troops to attack or change the formation. As a battle general, he had already petrified his heart and ignored all the bloodshed. In his eyes, war was a game of chess. Soldiers were chess pieces. He would only consider how the chess pieces were used to achieve the greatest value. Everything was just for the sake of victory.
Gradually, the Ghost Race Grand Formation began to decline. The left wing was losing, and the balance of victory tilted towards the Chongming Army.
"Jiang Dongchen is not ashamed of being a Silver Warrier . In time, he will definitely be able to become a Golden General of Chongming Island after Hou Xin!" Du Ru'nan couldn't help but be delighted with his appearance. He laughed heartily and said, "Jiang Dongchen is not ashamed of being a Silver Warrier !"
"Big Brother, after this battle, Jiang Dongchen's reputation will spread far and wide. I'm afraid that old fellow Fang Yunshan will lose face!" Du Ruhui smiled.
Fang Yunshan was the commander-in-chief of the Heavenly Star Army. An old Silver Warrier had been defeated by the ghosts in the battle in the middle of the Star Forest. Nearly 200,000 of the 500,000 Heavenly Star Army had been killed and injured. Now, Fang Yunshan had brought his remnants back to Star City, the capital of the Star Morning Continent, to fight against hundreds of thousands of ghosts.
Du Ru'nan was in a good mood and laughed heartily when he heard this!
As time passed, the defeat of the ghost army became more and more obvious. The battle line gradually shrank and retreated into the city, while the human army clenched its teeth and advanced step by step.
"The overall situation is settled!" Du Ru'nan clapped his hands and smiled, and the surrounding generals revealed expressions of joy.
Seeing that their side had the upper hand, the allied forces of the various sects were all overjoyed and wished they could rush forward to chop down as well. Chu Jun frowned and paid attention to the battlefield. In his previous life, he had originally been a soldier and was usually studied in some books on tactics and strategy. Sun Tzu's Art of War was also considered to have been memorized backwards. Now, the ghost army seemed to be retreating step by step, but there was not the slightest bit of chaos. It was more like retreating step by step.
Xiaoxiao didn't know that much. Seeing that her people had won, she was so happy that her eyes curved into crescent moons. She couldn't help but grab Chu Jun's hand and shake it hard. Occasionally, she would even raise her head to look at Chu Jun, looking like a bird leaning on a human.
At this moment, a white shadow flew over from behind. Soon, it arrived nearby. Several disciples of the Alliance Army immediately stopped it and shouted, "Stop!"
However, the person who came didn't stop at all, whoosh past the disciples!
"An assassin, stop her!" Someone shouted loudly.
"You're courting death!" Several Nascent Souls attacked at the same time, forcing Bai Ying to stop. It was actually a beautiful girl of sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Move aside, I want to find Master!"
Originally, everyone was paying attention to the battlefield, but they were immediately alarmed by the quarrel. Xiao Xiao turned around and saw the fox-furred girl. She couldn't help but cry out in surprise, "Little Snow?"
The white-clothed girl was Xue Jian. She anxiously shouted, "Xiaoxiao, quickly get out of the way of these annoying fellows. Sister Xiangjun has something urgent to notify Master!"
When the Nascent Soul experts saw that they were actually one of their own, they let them go. Xue Jian hurriedly flew in front of Chu Jun and said, "Master, Sister Xiangjun has urgent information!"
Chu Jun's heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly asked, "What is it?"
