Chapter 2079 - 2083: The Most Grueling Tug-of-War

"It seems our vanguard, in just another three hours, will be able to capture the summit of Dayun Mountain."

Upon seeing the smooth progress of the vanguard, Xie Feihong set the tone for this battle, "We must strive to annihilate the enemy before dawn. Then we'll have more than a day to reset our defenses. At that time, using this as a base, we can engage in a prolonged war with the West State Army."

Boom!

As Xie Feihong was arranging the next military deployment, suddenly, he noticed a flash of True Qi bursting up into the sky from afar!

A powerful golden True Qi illuminated half the sky!

"What's going on!?"

Xie Feihong and his subordinates were stunned, frowning as a bad premonition arose in their hearts.

From afar, various scouts and generals rushed over almost simultaneously to report.

"General! There is an assassin!"

"General, the enemy is attacking us crazily from the southeast towards our central camp!"

"General, there are about three thousand of them, and they are all experts with strong assault capabilities!"

The generals reported anxiously, but Xie Feihong, hearing this, couldn't help but laugh: "What, three thousand assassins, who do they intend to assassinate? Assassinate me?"

He found it unbelievable, and so did the surrounding generals and advisors.

"Let them come then, hehe, welcome them properly, and let them know here, there is no return!"

Xie Feihong ordered the troops to launch a counterattack directly on the assassins!

However, just as his orders were issued, suddenly, seven True Qi giant dragons soared into the sky, entangling with the Flying Beast Soldiers and crashing through them, sending them flying one by one!

Swish!

At this moment, Xie Feihong's expression froze!

Everyone else's expressions also froze!

"Seven True Qi Giant Dragons, could it be... Qin Tian!?"

The white-bearded advisor frowned, his expression somewhat fearful.

Xie Feihong gazed at the True Qi Giant Dragons ten kilometers away, took a deep breath, and said, "Seven True Qi Giant Dragons, the True Qi Power can easily suppress a Small Immortal Realm expert. This person, presumably, can only be Qin Tian!"

"Strange, wasn't Qin Tian in Yueya City? Why did he come here?"

The white-bearded advisor was a bit annoyed and said, "Why is Qin Tian everywhere? It's too bizarre!"

Xie Feihong said, "It seems Qin Tian arrived here in advance, preparing to save the eighty thousand Southern Barbarian soldiers of Dayun Mountain."

"Heh, he overestimates himself. Just three thousand people, and he thinks he can save eighty thousand people from my army of over half a million?"

Xie Feihong's face showed a hint of ruthlessness at this moment, and he said, "Heaven helps me! This Qin Tian, arrogant as he is, steps forward with just three thousand people. He does not take me seriously! Tonight, let's ensure they do not return!"

Not only Xie Feihong, but the other generals also found Qin Tian presumptuous, rushing into tens of thousands with only three thousand, it was simply suicidal.

They began mobilizing troops to encircle Qin Tian and his group in turns!

They seemed to see the opportunity to slay Qin Tian, so each was eager for action.

Xie Feihong had his formation advisor wave flags on the central command platform, ordering all units to surround Qin Tian and others!

Xie Feihong himself hid in a safe place watching and said to his advisors, "Tonight, if we kill Qin Tian, haha, the West State war situation will be resolved!"

Boom! Boom!

At this moment, Qin Tian and two thousand others were charging back and forth in Xie Feihong's camp, their speed was very fast, where they passed, chaos ensued.

However, Qin Tian was also clear that they could not stop to engage in a positional battle. Once they stopped and were encircled, they would not be able to leave at all!

After an hour, after a round of charging, seeing that Xie Feihong's troops were all entangled by him, Qin Tian immediately made a decisive decision, "Retreat!"

They began to change direction, rushing towards the southeast again!

Qin Tian flew in the air with Ah Tai, leading the charge, with the enormous True Qi impact forming tidal waves that the surrounding Imperial City soldiers could not withstand, some were shaken flying, or directly suppressed by the True Qi, vomiting blood!

And the Qin Family soldiers fighting with Qin Tian did not linger in battle, following Qin Tian charging all the way. If anyone was left behind, they could only abandon without daring to stay to rescue.

Even so, although the Imperial Army set up double encirclement, having Qin Tian, a Flying Immortal Realm expert, at the forefront, all their defenses were futile.

Leading the way, Qin Tian broke through a gap, leading the Qin Family soldiers rushing out, leaving grandly.

The Imperial City soldiers chased for thirty kilometers, finally retreated because Xie Feihong feared falling into an ambush.

This charge by Qin Tian, coming and going for two hours, killed over twenty thousand Imperial City soldiers, losing slightly over a hundred of their own, with over a hundred injured, the cost was not too large.

However, Qin Tian was also heartbroken, after all, over a hundred Small Immortal Realm cultivation soldiers were worth at least ten thousand ordinary troops.

But there was no way, the enemy's numbers were too many, after rushing in, they were threatened from all sides, it was impossible to ensure low casualties.

Moreover, after using the Seven Dragon Power in the first charge, Qin Tian's True Qi consumption was quite significant, unable to perform the Divine Vein Technique again, so he decided to retreat and rest.

After shaking off the Imperial City pursuers, Qin Tian sent people to scout the situation on Dayun Mountain.

Good news came from Dayun Mountain, the Imperial City's attacking troops, after breaking through Zhou Yang's first defensive barrier, stalled before the second one. Zhou Yang and Yan Ruolan personally commanded, fighting desperately, combined with the steep and defensible Dayun Mountain, the Imperial City Army found it momentarily impossible to break the cliff and breach the second line.

"Haha, that's right."

Qin Tian smiled slightly, "Let's rest for three hours. At four o'clock in the morning, we will raid and charge again, disrupting them entirely, preventing reinforcements to Dayun Mountain." Qin Tian and Duan Xiaodao took some restorative elixirs, then began to rest.

At four in the morning, Qin Tian and Duan Xiaodao, leading the Qin Family soldiers, charged into Xie Feihong's troops again from the southeast!

"What, they came back!?"

At this moment, the fatigued Xie Feihong was resting, just about to fall asleep, was awakened, then hearing that Qin Tian led the troops back, he was directly stunned!

"What does this Qin Tian intend to do?"

Xie Feihong clenched his teeth in anger, ordered, "Mobilize the troops, seal off their retreat route to the southeast, this time, regardless of the cost, Qin Tian must not escape, he must be killed! Crossbowmen, rather make a mistake, than spare Qin Tian's subordinates! This old man wants Qin Tian not to survive the night!"
