Chapter 2213 Smoke of War Re-emerges at Immortal Spirit Lake
Yes, Bega had been holding back until Panlong City sent troops, at which point it launched a large-scale attack.
Clearly, the struggle with the Lingshan forces on the eastern front was not too tiring for it, and it still had the resources to launch an attack on the western front.
Zhong Shengguang had anticipated that Bega wouldn't stand idly by and let Panlong City take over Xiluo. However, when Bega's army actually joined the battle, He Lingchuan's heart still sank.
This is really bad timing. With the arrival of Bega's army, there are even more variables.
The two sides fought five major battles, with each side winning and losing.
During these major battles, He Lingchuan remained on edge, never daring to stray more than a hundred feet from General Hong.
Even though Zhong Shengguang had given prior instructions, General Hong still had strong objections.
She has always been a commanding and decisive leader in battle; why would she need to be taken care of like this?
But He Lingchuan knew in her heart that with each step forward on the battlefield, she was one step closer to immense danger.
These days, rumors have been circulating in the Panlong Army that General Huyi is pursuing General Hong and often stays by his side.
The people of Panlong have always been open-minded, and people can say whatever they want, so General Hong didn't take it seriously at all; but He Lingchuan knew that there were many Mitian believers among the people of Panlong, and such gossip would also reach the ears of the Great Demon Mitian.
Will Mi Tian suspect his actions, or will he simply not take him seriously?
Over the past few years, he has also worked hard to collect information about Mitian in real life, hoping to gain a deeper understanding of this war god of the demon world.
Narakuten once mentioned Miten's past achievements. Tsk, at his peak, Miten not only instilled fear in the demons of the demon realm, but also killed many immortals in the ancient war!
Besides being fierce in battle, He is also cunning, resourceful, and has a unique understanding of combat.
In both realms, besides the Holy Venerable Lingxu, perhaps only the Dragon God would dare to set a trap for the Demon God of War.
However, the Emperor's Dew has already reached its peak several times, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant for a short period of time, yet Mi Tian has not descended to the mortal realm, which is much later than Zhong Shengguang predicted. Logically speaking, after His rampage in the Demon Realm, the Holy Venerable Lingxu should have made His days quite difficult.
He withstood the pressure from the demon realm, surely waiting for a more opportune moment.
At present, Panlongcheng and Helingchuan are actually competing with Mitian in terms of patience, seeing who can remain calmer.
In these mountains, the Panlong Army was actually trying to intercept a coalition army, consisting of Hong Qixing, a self-proclaimed king from Xiluo, and his nine hundred men, as well as the 21,000-strong Bega army, led by General Jinjiao and the human general Wu Xianxian.
This Golden Horned General was the ancestor of the Golden Horned Family of Lingxu City in later generations, and of course, he was also a one-horned rhinoceros.
The Panlong Army consisted of 1,400 men, led by General Hong and He Lingchuan.
The number of people is small, but they are all elites, because today is a sniper battle.
The Bega army fought a bitter battle at Honghu, suffering more defeats than victories in several battles, and was far from successful. Therefore, Lingxu City dispatched General Jinjiao and Wu Xianxian with more than 20,000 men to reinforce them.
Unfortunately, the reinforcements were intercepted halfway by the well-informed General Hong and He Lingchuan.
The idea of choosing Xianling Lake as the sniping location was He Lingchuan's.
He had fought his way through this place before and knew all too well how rugged the terrain was, and how small the open space around Fairy Spirit Lake was. However, there was no Fairy Spirit Village or any trace of human activity on the lakeside of Panlong World; it was a completely natural and wild environment, so there were more people who could stand there.
But at most, it's only around three thousand people.
Even if the Bega army wanted to send more people up, there wouldn't be enough room for them to stand.
With proper command, it is entirely possible to defeat a larger force with a smaller one.
Furthermore, the Bega army was new to the area, and fighting here would inevitably restrict their movements and prevent them from fully utilizing their strengths.
Although the Panlong Army was smaller in number than the enemy, Hong Qixing's army was actually negligible in the eyes of He Lingchuan and General Hong.
Or to put it another way, in the eyes of Hong Qixing and others, every member of the Panlong Army was like a monster. Even if they didn't look very tall, they could easily swing their enemies up and throw them away!
That was a complete crushing defeat in terms of strength, agility, and armor.
A Panlong soldier can easily defeat at least seven or eight Xiluo people.
Before the two sides clashed, Hong Qixing had heard of Panlong City's reputation, but he felt that it was exaggerated and was somewhat unconvinced, after all, he was not bad himself.
Even after setting up the battle plan at Fairy Spirit Lake, it still didn't work!
It's like a father beating his son—one-sided, no doubt about it.
Leaving aside the disparity in the quality of the soldiers on both sides, and the formidable nature of their special weapons, let's just say that the Yuan power of the Western Luo Kingdom was inherently weak, and naturally vanished after the kingdom's demise, while the Yuan power of Panlong City was so strong that few in the world could rival it.
After taking into account such a significant difference in strength, the two sides are not even close to being on equal footing!
The only force capable of challenging the Panlong Army is the Bega Army.
The Bega army also didn't take Hong Qixing and his group seriously, using them only as cannon fodder and fillers to wear down the enemy's strength.
However, today it was General Hong who ambushed the Bega army halfway up the mountain. The latter lost their initial advantage and were trapped at the shore of Fairy Spirit Lake, their fighting severely hampered. Of the 12,000 troops, only 1,200 made it up the mountain; the rest were stuck at the foot of the mountain, forced to watch helplessly!
The small area here became an advantage for the Panlong Army. Relying on his knowledge of the area, He Lingchuan and General Hong devised flexible tactics to once again divide and encircle the enemy by the lake, splitting them into three or four groups so that they would be distracted and their own forces could eliminate them one by one.
This is the most relaxed way to fight, and it also minimizes our own losses.
Due to the terrain, Hong Qixing's few hundred men ended up occupying the territory of the Bega army, preventing reinforcements from coming up from the foot of the mountain.
"A bunch of useless trash, better off without them!" Wu Xianxian was furious and ordered them to retreat and be replaced several times. Unfortunately, General Hong saw through this and didn't give them a chance.
The Panlong Army was able to fight the Bega Army to a standstill several years ago, so they had long since dispelled its mystique. Today, they are stronger when facing a stronger opponent, and their morale and energy are even greater!
Seeing that the Panlong Army was gaining more and more momentum in the battle, and that his own teams were suffering repeated casualties among their leaders, Wu Xianxian knew that if he didn't come up with a clever trick to turn the tide, he would suffer a great loss today.
Moreover, he also discovered that the opposing commanders were the Red General and the Tiger Wing General, the strongest combination in the Panlong Army!
Upon hearing this news, Wu Xianxian felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
Good heavens, what incredible luck I had!
Panlong City and Bega had been fighting for many years, and neither had gained the upper hand. Therefore, while Bega's generals didn't have many good things to say about Panlong, they weren't as arrogant as they were towards other countries.
After all, respecting a powerful opponent is also respecting yourself.
He just couldn't understand why these two didn't go to other vast battlefields to fight against other Bega armies, but instead had to block him in this remote mountain valley and make things difficult for him!
But what's done is done. He was attacked first, and seeing that he couldn't turn back the initial advantage, Wu Xianxian decisively unleashed his trump card.
A large iron cage was pushed in from behind by carriages and horses, and a man and a woman approached. Wu Xianxian muttered something to them, then shouted:
"We respectfully request the arrival of the Supreme God!"
