Puff! A flying sword pierced Chen Jin's shoulder. The short battle was extremely brutal. The protective magic weapon on Chen Jin's body could not stop the attack of the magic flying sword; if it were not for the support of the Jindan stage true essence, Chen Jin would have become a hornet's nest.
"Run!" Without any hesitation, Chen Jin made the decision immediately. He burst out his true energy, making Yang Yishan and others lose their footing. Chen Jin took the opportunity to kill the weakest guard and broke out of the encirclement. Then he rushed out of Anyang's encirclement without looking back, and rushed out a distance of hundreds of feet.
Only then did Chen Jin have the opportunity to look back at the situation, and what he saw stunned him. The battle lasted only a short while, but there were less than 3,000 people left on his side, and they were chased by Anyang's soldiers and had to flee everywhere.
Chen Jin acted decisively, quickly gathered the remnants and some elite troops, formed a complete defensive formation, and retreated.
The defensive formation used Zhen Yuan, magic tools, and talismans to form several layers of defense in front to block Anyang's crazy attack. After retreating more than three miles, the defense line of Nanyang County could be seen in the back, and Anyang gave up the attack.
When the Anyang army could no longer be seen, all the remaining 2,000 soldiers of the Nanyang army completely relaxed, and many of them fell to the ground like noodles. The war lasted less than a moment, but it made many elite soldiers in Nanyang County who were arrogant and arrogant depressed.
Right General Chen Jin was also somewhat depressed, quietly looking at the remnants of his defeated troops. In just a short period of time, only less than 2,000 of the 6,500 elite troops remained. The army did not collapse, thanks to the strong will of the cultivators. If it were an ordinary person, with more than 60% casualties, they would have collapsed long ago.
Looking around, Chen Jin found that among the survivors, there were less than 200 people in the foundation-building stage! It was obvious that Anyang deliberately killed the masters of the Nanyang County army.
Suddenly, Chen Jin found someone shaking him, "General, General, Anyang is back!"
Chen Jin looked up and was shocked. Anyang really came back!
"Continue to retreat! Keep the formation!" Chen Jin forced himself to command the battle despite his exhausted body. His shoulders and thighs were pierced, the aura of the magic weapon was raging in his meridians, and his whole body was lacking in true energy. Chen Jin was also at the end of his strength.
Suddenly someone spoke up: "General, let's send a distress signal to the rear!"
"No!" Chen Jin gritted his teeth, "Don't interrupt the arrangements in the rear."
In fact, there was no need to send any distress signals. Someone on the watchtower of the Nanyang County border defense had already seen the defeat of Chen Jin and others, and also saw Anyang's return. But distant water cannot quench immediate thirst; by the time the Nanyang County in the rear responded, Anyang's second surprise attack had already succeeded.
After the bloodbath, Chen Jin only managed to take away more than 50 foundation-building masters, and the rest were all killed. No one expected that Anyang would dare to strike back at the Nanyang County border. The exhausted, defense-laxed, and vigilant Nanyang County remnant soldiers had almost no ability to resist.
When Chen Jin returned to the Nanyang County defense line, he naturally faced the wrath of Kong Donglai, the governor of Nanyang County. "I asked you to fight a guerrilla war and harass the enemy, and you fought the enemy head-on?"
