Chapter 294

It was not easy for Shangguan Yuanrang to charge out of the Jufeng camp. Although there was no Ning general with strong spiritual martial arts to compete with him, there were too many Ning soldiers around him, and his spiritual energy was also greatly consumed after the fierce battle just now.

During the charge, Shangguan Yuanrang saw a centurion on horseback in the Ning army commanding the surrounding Ning soldiers to fight. His eyes lit up, and he rushed over waving his spiritual sword.

As soon as he got close to the centurion, the opponent stabbed him in the face. Shangguan Yuanrang snorted and laughed, dodged the sharp edge sideways, and before the opponent took back the gun, he suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the gun head, and then pulled it back, shouting: "Get down!"

The centurion was really obedient. Under the pull of Shangguan Yuanrang, he fell off his warhorse. Before he could get up, Shangguan Yuanrang's other hand had already chopped him down fiercely with the spiritual sword in his other hand.

Puff! The knife hit the captain's neck, and with a crisp sound, the captain's head fell off. Shangguan Yuanrang didn't even look at it. He grabbed the reins of the warhorse, jumped on the warhorse, and then turned the horse's head to break out of the gate of the border village.

With the warhorse, Shangguan Yuanrang rushed faster, and the spiritual knife in his hand slashed continuously, releasing spiritual martial arts skills from time to time. The surrounding Ning army did not dare to resist his edge and retreated repeatedly, which just gave Shangguan Yuanrang a passage. He galloped and rushed out of the camp in one breath.

Seeing that he was about to run, Zhang Xiaoting was furious and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to chase and kill him with all their strength. However, even he did not dare to step forward to intercept the other party, so how could his soldiers dare to go? The Ning soldiers and generals only shouted fiercely, and few of them really dared to rush forward to stop Shangguan Yuanrang.

Shangguan Yuanrang whipped his horse and galloped all the way, heading straight for Tongmen.

Tian Fan, who was assigned by Zhang Xiaoting, led 5,000 Ning troops back to Tongmen to check what emergency situation had occurred in Tongmen. When he returned to Tongmen, the Sanshui Army had already occupied Tongmen and was carrying out a bloody massacre. The Feng Army wearing black helmets and black armor was on the top of the city, but the beacon fire had not been extinguished, and the thick smoke was spreading, so people outside the city could not see the situation on the top of the city clearly.

However, Tian Fan could see clearly the arrows and bloodstains on the ground outside the city, as well as the rolling logs and pounding stones under the city. He trembled in his heart and hurriedly rode forward. When he approached the Tongmen city gate, he looked up and shouted: "Brothers on the city, what happened just now?"

Although he saw the battlefield that the Sanshui Army had not yet cleaned up, Tian Fan did not expect that Tongmen had been lost. After all, they had only been on Jufeng for more than an hour. In such a short time, it was impossible for an accident to happen in Tongmen.

Hearing his question, a corps commander who stayed on the top of the city laughed in his heart. He leaned his head and asked, "Who are you?"

"Tian Fan!"

"Never heard of it!"

"What?" Tian Fan's nose was almost crooked with anger. Although he was not the garrison commander of Tongmen, he was also a trusted subordinate of Zhang Xiaoting. It was ridiculous that his own soldiers had never heard of his name. He shouted loudly, "Open the door, I want to enter the city!"

"Sorry, you can't come closer!" The corps commander of the Sanshui Army sneered and raised his arm at the same time.

"What?" Tian Fan squinted his eyes and looked up, trying to see clearly who the person who was talking to him was.

As a mountain breeze blew, the thick smoke on the top of the city was blown away a little. It was not until this time that Tian Fan saw clearly that the person who was talking was a general wearing black armor, a red tassel on his head, and a black battle robe on his back. This kind of dress would never be from the Ning Army, only the Feng Army would be like this.

"You... you are..." Tian Fan was shocked after seeing this. He subconsciously raised his hand and pointed at the corps commander on the top of the city.

"I am Zhang Feng, the corps commander of the 8th Corps of the Sanshui Army of the Tianyuan Army! You can't enter the city, but you can enter the Ghost Gate!" As he spoke, the corps commander suddenly dropped his raised arm and shouted, "Shoot!"

At his command, the Sanshui Army on the top of the city shot the arrows and crossbows that had been set up long ago to the bottom of the city. For a while, the arrows on the top of the city rained down, and the sound of arrows breaking through the wind was endless.

Oh, no! Tian Fan was so scared that he shivered and secretly said, "Oh no, Tongmen has been lost!" Without time to think about what was going on and where the Tianyuan Army came from, he put on his spiritual armor, turned his horse's head, and shouted loudly: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

He had spiritual armor to protect his body and a warhorse to ride, so he ran very fast, but the 5,000 Ning soldiers below were all infantry, and their armor was heavy, so they couldn't run fast even if they wanted to. They were shot by the arrow array on the city. There were screams from the city, and many Ning soldiers were shot into hedgehogs by the flying arrows before they even figured out what was going on.

In just a moment, 5,000 Ning soldiers were shot, and the rest reacted, screaming and following Tian Fan to flee the way they came. They ran one way and were shot by the arrow array one way. From time to time, Ning soldiers with eagle feathers stuck on their backs fell to the ground, and the front of Tongmen City became a hell on earth again.

Tian Fan came with 5,000 Ning army soldiers. When they escaped outside the arrow formation of the Sanshui army, they counted the number of people and found that only more than 1,000 people were left. Most of the soldiers were killed. Looking back, the ground was littered with the bodies of the Ning army. The bodies and the ground were covered with arrows.

"Oh!" Tian Fan couldn't help but sigh while riding on his horse. Tongmen was actually occupied by the Tianyuan army. What should he do? He was so confused at this time that he wished he could have wings on his back and fly to Zhang Xiaoting to report the matter.

He waved to the remaining soldiers and said, "Everyone, follow me back to Jufeng and report the situation of Tongmen to the general!"

The loss of Tongmen was like losing their home to these Ning troops. People were expressionless, and it was hard for them to believe that what was happening before their eyes was real.

Tian Fan led more than a thousand defeated soldiers and hurried back. When they were halfway through the journey, they suddenly saw a general galloping in front of them. Tian Fan was startled. Because of the distance, he could not see who the general was. When the other party came closer, he looked again and his body was shocked. Wasn't this the Fengguo cun who killed Zhang Feng? Didn't the general trap him? How did he let him out again?

Tian Fan didn't have time to think about it. He hurriedly took off the sword on the saddle bridge and used the spirit of the soldier. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Stop, you are coming, this road is blocked..."

Before he could say anything, the man had already rode his horse to him. The spirit sword rubbed the air, making a hissing sound. Without saying anything or greeting, he picked up the spirit sword from bottom to top.

His sword was extremely fast, and now with the inertia of the warhorse, his speed was even faster. Tian Fan was so scared that his hair stood up, but it was too late to dodge by turning his horse. He hurriedly swung his sword horizontally to block the opponent's upward sword.

Clang! Snap!

As the two spiritual swords collided, a sharp golden sound burst out. They were both spiritual swords, but the cultivation of the two people was very different. The opponent cut off Tian Fan's spiritual sword with one sword, and at the same time, the blade continued to move forward and hit Tian Fan's stomach.

"Ah——"

Tian Fan screamed and looked down. The spiritual armor on his lower abdomen and the steel armor inside were all torn apart, and scarlet blood and white intestines flowed out of the wound. When the two horses crossed, the man suddenly turned his hand and slashed back to the back of Tian Fan's head. At this time, the latter's stomach was already fatally injured, so how could he dodge the knife from behind.

Snap!

A cold light flashed, and Tian Fan's huge head rolled off his shoulders. The headless body sprayed blood, shook a few times on the warhorse, and fell to the ground sideways.

Too fast! The man chopped off Tian Fan's head just by walking past. Seeing this, the surrounding Ning soldiers were so scared that they dared not step forward to fight. They just hated their parents for not giving them two more legs, and fled in all directions.

The man who came was not someone else, but Shangguan Yuanrang who was rushing to Tongmen to settle accounts with Liang Qi.

Poor Tian Fan did not die under the arrows of the Sanshui Army, but on the way back to Jufeng, he ran into Shangguan Yuanrang, the killer. The latter was sighing for forgetting to bring back Zhang Feng's head. Seeing a Ning general blocking the way, he would not miss this opportunity to steal and take Tian Fan's life.

Shangguan Yuanrang did not chase after the fleeing Ning soldiers. He reined in his horse, used his magic knife to pierce Tian Fan's severed head, and then continued to run towards Tongmen.

When Shangguan Yuanrang arrived at Tongmen, the smoke on the top of the city had almost dissipated, and the Ning army's flag was completely replaced by the wind flag. After watching, Shangguan Yuanrang snorted in his heart. Sure enough, Liang Qi sent him away, and he took down Tongmen first. Shangguan Yuanrang rode forward, and when he arrived in front of the city, he shouted: "Open the city gate!"

Here comes another one! Zhang Feng, the corps commander on the top of the city, almost laughed out loud. He had just shot away a group of Ning soldiers, and now someone came to die! He raised his arm again, asking the soldiers around him to prepare to shoot arrows, and he leaned out of the saddle and said: "Come and tell me your name!"

"Tell me what's the matter! I'm Shangguan Yuanrang! Open the door!"

Shangguan Yuanrang? Zhang Feng's jaw almost dropped when he heard this. He leaned out of the saddle with most of his body, squinting his eyes and looking carefully. Shangguan Yuanrang was wearing a white spiritual armor, but now his spiritual armor had turned blood red. It was hard to recognize him just from his appearance.

"Oh..." Zhang Feng pondered and said, "If it is General Yuanrang outside the city, take off the spiritual armor and let the subordinates see it clearly!"

"Look!" Shangguan Yuanrang took off the spiritual armor on his body. As the spiritual armor was dissipated, a dark red blood mist rose around his body.

Zhang Feng looked carefully. Who else could it be but Shangguan Yuanrang outside the city?

He quickly put down his raised hand and shouted excitedly to the soldiers around him, "Quick, quick, quick! Open the city gate and let General Yuanrang enter the city..." Halfway through his words, he had already taken the lead in running down the city.

Shangguan Yuanrang went to Jufeng almost alone, attracting the main force of the Ning Army. People thought he had survived a narrow escape. How could they not be excited to see him come back alive and kicking?

Zhang Feng led his soldiers to open the city gate. Seeing Shangguan Yuanrang on horseback, Zhang Feng sighed and admired him. He knelt on one knee and saluted, saying, "I respectfully welcome General Yuanrang into the city!"
