As soon as he thought of this, Cao Shiping felt relieved. Since things cannot be done, he did not need to be attached to this anymore.

However, Cao Shiping did not intend to withdraw his troops in a hurry, because since he came with great fanfare, he could not start or end. Even if he returned in the end, he had to put his posture in full. At least in the future, he would have an explanation to the emperor.

After killing Lu Fanglin, Xia Fan turned around and left without staying for too long.

Xia Fan actually saw that Cao Shiping was not simple, but since he did not take the initiative to provoke him, Xia Fan was too lazy to create more powerful enemies.

After more than an hour of fierce attack, he saw that there was no hope of breaking the city protection formation today, and his soldiers and generals were at a loss. Cao Shiping immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and set up a large camp, which was very stance to waste time with Yong'an County.

However, Cao Shiping had to give up within two days because Liu Xingchen's imperial edict came, although his words were not very strict, he was extremely firm.

As the left prime minister, Cao Shiping often comes into contact with imperial edicts, so of course he speaks in the tone of the emperor when he writes the imperial edict. This means that if he delays his mind, he will be afraid that all kinds of declaring imperial edicts will arrive before he returns to the capital.

In desperation, Cao Shiping had no choice but to make up his mind and began a round of futile attacks without caring about the lives of the soldiers.

Facing an impregnable Yong'an County City, unless the city protection formation is broken, it is absolutely unrealistic to break it with a crazy attack.

Although the soldiers and generals of the Han Dynasty were brave, they were not all like this. The 200,000 troops stationed in Baocang Province were relatively stronger in combat and more determined in fighting spirit. However, the county soldiers sent from various provinces were not like this.

If there is a good battle, these county soldiers will naturally be like wolves and tigers. Even if they are responsible for defending the city, they can still use it. However, such as the siege battle that has to face tragic deaths at any time and never sees a little hope for victory, it is enough to quickly eliminate the fighting spirit of the county soldiers, which is not many.

Just at this moment, Lu Chuan hurried over with the 500,000 elite Han Dynasty troops led by Geng Qingping.

Although the army led by Lu Chuan was already a little tired after a sudden march, the soldiers and generals were quite eager to fight because they had just passed a big victory.

At this time, when I saw the Han Dynasty army attacking Yong'an County, I suddenly became more energetic and felt eager to compete with him.

"Attack." Seeing that the morale of the army was available, Lu Chuan immediately issued a military order.

"Kill!" Amid the overwhelming shouts of killing, the army that had just arrived from a long distance rushed towards Cao Shiping's army like a tiger descending down the mountain, and a fierce battle began.

If we look at the number of people, Cao Shiping's army still has a certain advantage. However, there is a certain gap in combat power between the two sides.

You should know that Lu Chuan's army originally took the 200,000 troops stationed in Baocang Province as the backbone, and the county soldiers of each county were branches and leaves. Generally speaking, it was considered to be strong to lead the weak.

However, in the previous rounds of tragic siege battles, the most casualties were the 200,000 troops. So much so that the remaining troops now occupy the vast majority with county soldiers.

At this time, facing the Luchuan army that was attacking fiercely, these county soldiers who were already a little passive and fearful of war were almost at a disadvantage as soon as they started the battle.

On the battlefield, although the strength of morale is not a decisive factor in victory, it can cause a significant gap in combat power between the two sides with almost different strengths, which is enough to cause a tilt in the battle situation.

Although Xia Fan was not on the battlefield, he glanced at him with his divine thoughts from time to time. When he saw this scene, he felt completely relieved because he knew that he would win this battle. Unless Cao Shiping could have any unexpected solutions to turn the tables, he would definitely lose.

Although Lu Chuan's army has gradually gained the upper hand, it is not easy to completely establish the victory, and the battle between the two sides is still continuing.

Until the sun sets and night is approaching, some county soldiers of the Han Dynasty finally started to flee because they could not bear the tragic casualties, which eventually led to a large-scale defeat. Therefore, the battle with a total number of 700,000 to 800,000 ended with Lu Chuan's victory.

However, there are still many things to do in the future. Although Lu Chuan's army won, it is approaching that it becomes very difficult to pursue the defeated enemy and capture prisoners.

This also led to less than 50,000 prisoners being captured when the prisoners were counted the next day, and the rest all fled.

Some of these county soldiers who escaped by chance ran back home, while others began to plunder for food and drink...

Of course, these county soldiers who have become bandits harmed the people of the Han Dynasty, but they also gave Xia Fan an excuse to send troops to seize the counties, that is, to suppress bandits.

At this time, Liu Xingchen didn't know Xia Fan's thoughts, otherwise he would be furious. Because he had sent Geng Qingping to invade Xia Fan's territory before, he used the same banner. The feeling of being treated by others was definitely quite annoying.

"What a pity, Cao Shiping was not captured and he was letting him run away." After counting the prisoners, Zhao Wei said to Xia Fan with regret.

"It's okay, it's not a bad thing for him to run away." Xia Fan thought for a while and comforted casually.

"Boss, should we send troops to capture Baocang Province in the future?!" Liu Yulinglong asked.

"Yes." Xia Fan nodded and said, "But Lu Chuan leads his troops to attack, and you will recruit the remaining soldiers of the Han Dynasty in the rear. Our troops are still not strong enough. If you want to train yourself, you will not have time. The best way is to turn the prisoners into our soldiers."

"Don't worry, boss, this is not difficult." Zhao Wei responded with a smile.

"That's good." Xia Fan patted the two of them on the shoulders and said, "I believe you can do it well. Since that's the case, I won't stay here. There are still many things I need to do. I have to rush to other places as soon as possible. When the current situation stabilizes, we can do what we want to do."

"Really?" Liu Yulinglong asked in surprise.

"That's natural. How could I lie to you in this kind of thing?" Xia Fan said with a smile.

"Haha, that's great." Zhao Yi laughed happily.

After chatting for a few more words, Xia Fan casually told the two of them about something, and then left.

After solving the matter in Yong'an County, Xia Fan turned his attention to the Holy Dragon Kingdom.

In these days, the Holy Dragon Kingdom has sent troops to capture the territory of the Shenmu Kingdom, and it is very tempting to swallow it completely. It is absolutely difficult to see the appearance of eating.

Although the troops sent by Xia Fan were constantly eroding the territory of the Divine Eye Kingdom, these soldiers and generals could not be compared with Xia Fan after all, and they could only fight steadily when siegeing the city. Therefore, although they had the results, they could not be compared with the attack speed of the Holy Dragon Kingdom that could be thousands of miles a day.

However, what made Xia Fan feel relieved was that at least the progress of each army was still smooth and there were no major casualties.

At the same time, these armies also occupied some territory. After being connected into pieces, they also had a space for flashing and moving in the Shenmu country.

However, compared with the territory occupied by the Holy Dragon Kingdom, it is really pitifully small.

Xia Fan was naturally very unhappy about the fact that he worked hard to destroy Shen Zhong but was taken advantage of by Long Xiaoshu, and had long wanted to deal with him.

It’s just that things are urgent, so he put this matter last.

Now it's time for Xia Fan and Long Xiaoshu to make up the accounts.

Xia Fan's figure flew rapidly over the sky, and it was thousands of miles away in an instant. It didn't take long to get from Yong'an County to Xuantian Cliff.

The reason why he came here was because there were 50,000 troops that Xia Fan had put down. Since he was preparing to fight back against the Holy Dragon Kingdom, it would be impossible to have no soldiers in his hands.

"Greetings to the Lord." When Xia Fan arrived, the old man of the formation hurriedly came out to greet him, and his attitude became more and more respectful.

"No gift." Xia Fan waved his hand, and saw that he wanted to say something but stopped, so he said, "Speak straight if you have anything, don't have any worries."

"In fact, it's not a bad thing, but a happy thing." The old man in the formation said with a smile: "As the more and more coolies recruited, the construction speed of Baishi City is getting faster and faster. Now it has basically been built 70% to 80%, and the formation has been arranged almost the same. What is missing is the master to come up and add the finishing touch."

"Ah! Haha..." Xia Fan was stunned, and then he understood what was going on.

In fact, the old man of Zhen had already told him about this matter, but there were many things recently, and this matter was not particularly important, so he forgot about it.

Now, when the old man of the Conquest Formation mentioned it, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Since that's the case, then let's go."

"Please please, Lord." The old man made a request gesture, and then led the way.

During the battle that day, Xuantian Cliff was blown up, but the old man of the formation moved a mountain from nowhere and relocated it to the original Xuantian Cliff, and still called it Xuantian Cliff.

This new Xuantian Cliff is not only the place where the sect created by the formation elder, but also has the function of suppressing the entire Xuantian Demon-Ending Array.

If it weren't for this mountain suppressing formation, Xia Fan wouldn't have easily taken out the nine-pole Ten Thousand Soul Banner he inserted into the formation.

Xia Fan didn't come some days and found that there were more buildings on Xuantian Cliff, with very unique styles. From the perspective of location, they were located at the nodes of the formation. Obviously, these houses were not only used for living, but also part of the formation.

Xia Fan admired this kind of practice of integrating architecture and formations, but there are not many sects in the world who can do this. After all, not everyone can play formations to the point where they want.

"No, not bad, quite ingenious." Xia Fan nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you, Lord, for your praise, it was all done by the disciples." The old man said this, but his face was filled with a smile.

There is also a teleportation array connected to the teleportation array of Baishi City on Xuantian Cliff. This also makes the two far apart and can be said to be located at the north and south ends of Xia Fan's territory, but the connection is much more convenient.
