Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 370: 192, Bloody Massacre (Part 2)_3

Meng Qu stepped forward at this moment, bowing as he said, "Reporting to Sword Envoy Ren, this valley is about ten miles long in total. My fellow disciple and I have previously scouted it!"

Ten miles?

Ren Feixing's brows furrowed sharply, that uneasy feeling surged in his heart again. He glanced back at the mountain ridges on both the south and north sides of the valley. Chen An's voice had been too loud earlier, and now, birds were still continuously flying out from the trees on the ridges. At first glance, nothing seemed amiss.

But seeing the densely wooded mountain ridges on both sides, Ren Feixing instinctively felt something was off. Just as he was about to extend his True Qi to sense the surroundings once more, suddenly, the clouds in the sky were swept away by a gust of wind, and the moon appeared...

Rens Feixing's gaze was fixed on the north ridge, and as the moonlight shone down, sudden bursts of dark reflections entered his pupils. His expression changed drastically, and he quickly realized something, shivering as a look of terror appeared on his face, and he bellowed out loudly.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly! Everyone out of the valley!!!"

His roar carried the force of True Qi and, as soon as he shouted, the entire squad halted abruptly. Everyone's faces revealed confusion, especially those close to him; they turned to look at him, not understanding his meaning, particularly Chen An, who was nearest to him and was about to ask what was wrong.

But before he could speak, a voice came from the north ridge, changing the expressions of him and all the Silver Armored Army troops from Longxiang County instantly.

"Load the crossbow arrows!"

Whiz...whiz...whiz...whiz...whiz...

A whooshing sound was the first to ring in everyone's ears, followed by a second and third... then the fourth. Soon, hundreds of swooshing crossbow arrows, evidently all shot from Five Stone Crossbows known for their speed and deadly force, suddenly assaulted them from the slopes on the north side.

The Silver Armored Army in the front row didn't even have time to react before they were pierced into sieves. The crossbow arrows that hit the soldiers got stuck in their bones, and the ones that missed all fell to the ground, their tremendous force creating loud noises upon impact.

Bang...bang...

In an instant, dust filled the air, adding a thin layer of dust to an already dark environment, which, under the moonlight, seemed somewhat desolate yet beautiful.

"Brothers, follow me! Let's slay the Xuzhou dogs."

"Charge!"

"Kill..."

......

The Demon Sect's massive army hidden on the north ridge suddenly surged out, accompanied by chilling roars that immediately drowned out the dust and noise, shattering the silence and casting a massive shadow over the already chaotic Silver Armored Army.

"They only number over ten thousand, do not panic, all troops stop retreating, rearrange and face the enemy army hidden in the north. If anyone dares retreat, kill without mercy!"

Chen An was indeed a qualified commander, realizing that all forty thousand troops had already entered the valley; retreating now would only cause greater casualties. He instantly changed the strategy, ordering the troops to stop retreating and confront the ambush.

He estimated that the enemy numbered around thirty thousand, a scale that forty thousand Silver Armored soldiers could easily handle as long as they maintained their formation.

Of course, claiming the enemy was just over ten thousand was to boost his own troops' morale.

And indeed, as soon as Chen An spoke, signs of recovery were immediately evident among the Silver Armored Army. The ends of the elongated column swiftly began to gather towards the center, then all turned to face the Mansion Army on the north side.

Despite the slow speed, the Silver Armored Army soldiers in the front finally clashed with Yongzhou's ambush troops. Fortunately, they managed to stabilize their formation. As long as they continued to counterattack methodically, even if there were losses, at least complete annihilation was unlikely.

"Load the crossbow arrows, follow me and charge!"

But just as Chen An and Ren Feixing thought this, another voice entered their ears, and both men's pupils dilated, their faces turning instantly pale.

Because this voice came from the south ridge...
