When Li Lisong arrived with 10,000 Foundation Establishment masters, the scene they saw was: shells were continuously falling on the north bank with no pattern, the soldiers on the south bank were in a panic, and the camp was constantly retreating.
The great formation that Anyang had set up to seal the sky and lock the earth had long since dissipated due to the exhaustion of spirit stones, but no army on the south bank dared to cross the river to fight.
Li Lisong looked at it for a while, sneered arrogantly, and gave an order: "Get ready, in a moment, cross the river! Raid!"
The night is the best cover. On the south bank of the Xiandai River, Shen Jianfei led more than 4,700 elite foundation-building soldiers from Anyang and ambushed in the rear.
After the battle with Nangong Zhi, Shen Jianfei suffered 300 casualties; the loss was not great, but it made Shen Jianfei understand one thing - no one who can become a commander is simple.
Therefore, after the last sneak attack, Shen Jianfei simply hid himself completely and did not take any action. Shen Jianfei did not think too much about the strategy, but just chose to "endure". I honestly lay down for a few days and waited for the opportunity.
In a blink of an eye, it was late at night, and Shen Jianfei made an unexpected discovery—tens of thousands of soldiers were running wildly from the south; not only were these tens of thousands of soldiers all in the Foundation Establishment Stage, the style of their armor was slightly different from that of the Great Xia Kingdom.
"Suddenly, a team of tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment experts appeared. Their weapons and armor styles were slightly different. This is... the army of Jin! As expected, they are desperate and have colluded with Jin. This is simply courting disaster. I wonder if they were contacted by Dongyuan County or Nanyang County? What should I do now? Should I launch a surprise attack? Should I report the situation? Or should I continue to lurk and wait for an opportunity?"
At this moment, Shen Jianfei's brain began to work in overload. "With the wisdom of Beichen Yuqing and Yan Zhengqing, they must have anticipated that Jin would send troops, so there is no need to report the news. As for sneak attacks, there is no need for the time being. We just arrived here, and the other party is at its most vigilant. So, let's wait and see what happens and wait for an opportunity!"
With the decision made, Shen Jianfei ordered 4,700 elite soldiers to continue to lurk and wait for an opportunity. When his strategy was not as good as others, all Shen Jianfei could do was to be patient, forbearing, and waiting, lurking like a venomous snake.
Yan Zhengqing, however, had already discovered that there were invisible aircraft in the sky when the Jin army just arrived at the border between Nanyang County and Anyang County. Moreover, Xu Ren and others had long anticipated that Nanyang County might "eat from the inside", so they were naturally prepared.
When Li Lisong arrived with 10,000 elite troops of the State of Jin, preparations had already been made on the north bank of the Xiandai River. Nearly 50 artillery pieces, all of which were 105mm and 150mm caliber, had been quietly gathered together and were aimed at the direction of the elite troops of the State of Jin from a distance.
Ten thousand elite foundation-building warriors, if it was in the past, Anyang would certainly be afraid; but now there is no need to be afraid at all, because Anyang has been able to train foundation-building masters in batches. Just now, Anyang has more than 30,000 foundation-building masters, and the number is increasing by hundreds or even thousands every day.
In this era, there are countless martial arts techniques, and young people who can practice to the seventh level or above of the Qi Refining Stage are all good seedlings. With the cultivation of liquid spiritual energy, most of these people can enter the Foundation Establishment Stage in just over a month.
