Xiu Jie was already furious. When he heard Xu Gong still saying that he had suffered a loss, his anger surged up from his heart and he said fiercely: "Wait, our reinforcements have arrived at Aiqi City, wait until the reinforcements arrive , we’ll call back right away.”
"How many reinforcements have come?" Xu Gong asked.
"Two armies." Xiu Jie said with a little confidence.
The two armies also need about 50,000 troops. If they join forces with Xiujie to counterattack, Zhang Shunxiao and others will definitely not be able to withstand them.
Hearing the two armies, Xu Gong was overjoyed and said happily: "Well, the king is still smart and has a back-up plan."
Xiu Jie glared at Xu Gong. If Jiang Yuxuan's army had not been able to attack for a long time and so many troops had been lost, why would he have issued a death order asking all the southern cities to deploy troops for support?
"Come on, prepare a counterattack quickly." After Xiu Jie said that, he found a secluded place and sat down to rest.
Zhang Shunxiao and others arrived behind Xiujie's army, and at Zhang Shunxiao's suggestion, they immediately launched an attack.
Not long after he had rested, he heard that Jiang Yuxuan's army was coming again, and Zhang Shunxiao was still following him.
Xiu Jie was furious and immediately picked up the Fierce Blood Giant Blade and led his troops to charge out. He happened to encounter Zhang Shunxiao. The two fought for a while, but Zhang Shunxiao was unable to defeat him and could only retreat.
Xiu Jie was about to pursue when he heard that Ding Xu and Sima Hongyi were approaching from the left and right sides, and immediately retreated with his troops.
When they arrived at Aiqian City, Xu Gong saw that Xiu Jie was unhappy and said, "King, the reinforcements should be arriving soon. When we counterattack and return, we will definitely kill them until they cry for father and mother."
Speaking of reinforcements, Xiujie was even more depressed. Logically speaking, they should have arrived, but there was no news yet.
If there is no news of reinforcements, we can only retreat to Essie City first. With the city, we can hold on for a long time.
"Let's go back to Essie City first."
Xiu Jie led his army to the city of Essie, and his expression changed drastically when he saw the flags of Sesha Kingdom planted on the city walls.
"This?" Xiu Jie almost didn't catch it.
On the top of the city, Feng Ziying shouted with a smile: "Xiujie, Ai Qian City has been captured by me. Surrender quickly and let you live."
After listening to Feng Ziying's words, Xiujie became even more angry and cursed: "Who are you? A mountain hunter, you dare to talk to me, come down and die."
Before attacking Aiqian City, Luo Feng had told Feng Ziying to follow Jiang Yuxuan's strategy and defend the city and not to go out to fight.
"Hahaha, I have a city to defend. Why go out to fight with you? If you want to attack the city, just come."
Seeing Feng Ziying's wild look, Xiujie couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Attack with the whole army and take back Aiqi City."
After receiving the military order, Xiujie immediately led his army to attack the city. Under the cover of the archers, Xiujie rushed to the city gate, broke through the city gate, and fought into the city.
Feng Ziying's army in the city gate cave could not withstand Xiujie's attack and kept retreating.
Feng Ziying had no choice but to step forward to resist. Within a few minutes, Xiu Jie slashed him away with a knife.
The city must not be lost at this time. Feng Ziying stood firm and immediately commanded the surrounding soldiers to resist Xiu Jie's attack.
Less than an hour into the fierce battle, Xu Gong behind Xiujie shouted: "King, Zhang Shunxiao and his army have arrived, but our reinforcements haven't arrived yet. Retreat quickly. If we don't retreat, we won't be able to retreat."
Xiu Jie was already killing as if he was possessed by a demon, slashing at everyone he met. Wherever he passed, corpses were piled up, and there was no clear space in sight.
Seeing that Xiu Jie didn't respond, Xu Gong shouted: "King, retreat quickly. If you don't retreat, the way back will be blocked, and we will all die here."
Xu Gong shouted while killing, but when Xiu Jie didn't respond, "If you want to die, you can die here, I won't accompany you." He immediately turned around and fought back. He soon reached his own army and ran back.
As soon as Xu Gong retreated, the soldiers beside Xiu Jie pulled Xiu Jie back: "King, leave quickly. Commander Xu Regiment has already retreated. If we don't retreat, it will be too late."
Xiujie wanted to break free and continue fighting, but he was pulled and held by four or five people. He heard Xu Gong running away, the chasing troops behind him arrived, and Luo Feng's reinforcements also arrived, so he had no intention of continuing to fight. , hurriedly ordered a retreat, bypassed Essie City, and headed all the way to Roy City.
When Zhang Shunxiao and others arrived at Aiqian City, they did not dare to pursue Xiujie anymore and joined Feng Ziying in the city.
Soon Luo Feng's army also arrived. Zhang Shunxiao and others went out of the city to greet him. When they saw that Luo Feng only had one army, they were surprised and said: "King, it's not said that there is one army. Why is there only one army?"
Luo Feng said: "The battle with Xiujie's reinforcements at Xuli's place is probably over."
"The troops of Jiang Tingguan and Commander Murong are also coming. This time we are gathering our troops in Aixian City."
"Hahaha, okay." Luo Feng smiled and turned his attention to Ma Xiaoke in the crowd.
Ma Xiaoke walked out of the crowd and said, "Meet the king."
This was the first time Ma Xiaoke met Luo Feng since his surrender. After all, he was surrendering, so he bowed.
Luo Feng immediately supported Ma Xiaoke and said, "There is no need to salute. You and I are both brothers. We have fought together for so many years, but now I have wronged you."
Ma Xiaoke said: "King, since I have surrendered, I am a member of the Sesha Kingdom. Let the former Aiqi Kingdom pass. Although I surrendered when I was desperate, I was able to defeat Xiujie this time and still be able to defeat Xiujie. To take back Essie City, I sincerely surrender to the king."
"Okay, let's not talk about this and enter the city quickly." Luo Feng led everyone into Aiqi City one after another.
A week later, Zhang Xuli led his army to Aixian City, and Luo Feng held a meeting in the Aixian City Palace.
Jiang Yuxuan and others stood on both sides. Luo Feng said: "The defeat of Xiujie this time was all due to everyone's joint efforts to resist the enemy. With Xiao Ke joining us, our Kingdom of Sesha finally has a battle to compete with the Kingdom of Roy in Central Continent. force."
"That's right." Zhang Xuli stood up and said, "I defeated Xiu Jie's last two armies in the north of Essie City. Now Xiu Jie probably won't be able to mobilize enough troops to attack us at once."
"It can indeed take a few years to recuperate." Jiang Yuxuan said: "In this battle, Xiujie suffered more than 100,000 casualties, and our army also suffered more than 50,000 casualties. The loss of resources is even more serious. It is time to recuperate."
"Can't we take advantage of the victory and pursue Xiujie's Roy City?" Ma Xiaoke asked.
Jiang Yuxuan said: "If we want to attack Xiujie, our current strength is far from enough. I'm afraid that we won't be able to hold on until Xiujie counterattacks us before we can conquer a few cities."
"Beat a city and defend a city. Not to mention that each city in Xiujie has defenders. With our current strength, it is indeed not enough." Luo Feng said with a pity.
"It's over. All we can do in the next time is farming." Zhang Xuli sighed.
"The defense of the border cannot be relaxed." Jiang Yuxuan said: "If Xiujie really leads his troops to fight to the death again, it will be difficult for us to resist."
