County Magistrate (for all citizens): I can watch ads and get unlimited resources.

That night.

Outside Qing Shi Valley,

The Pingtian Army camp, already gripped by fear due to the plague, offered no real resistance to Ji Yun's surprise attack, and the entire camp descended into chaos.

The key is,

At this time,

rear,

Outside the valley, they were also ambushed by Han Yilin.

The path was cleared by Zhuge's repeating crossbow.

then,

The vanguard, composed of heavy cavalry forming a cone-shaped charge, followed by the White Horse Cavalry, launched a devastating attack on the outer camps of the Pingtian Army.

As for the player armies in the remaining subordinate counties...

Then it followed closely behind.

Follow the main force and launch an attack together.

now,

Besieged on both sides

The Pingtian Army was completely unable to organize effective resistance, especially with its million-strong army and camps stretching for dozens of miles.

Military intelligence has emerged from the rear.

There wasn't even time to get the message to the front lines.

Even worse,

In the darkness of night,

They couldn't even see how many enemies there were; all they could hear were shouts of battle coming from all directions.

Some people, who hadn't even seen the enemy's face clearly, turned and fled immediately upon hearing the shouts of battle around them.

This run,

This immediately triggered a chain reaction.

"We've lost!"

"The rear guard has been breached!"

"Run!"

"..."

When the army sets out,

What I fear most is chaos within the army.

especially,

If morale is already low, once things start to fall apart, the situation will spiral out of control, leaving no chance to recover.

......

at the same time,

On the other side of Qing Shi Valley,

Ji Yun, who had been observing the battle situation, quickly noticed something was wrong. It was at this moment that someone came to report.

"His Majesty!"

"The rebel army has also been attacked from the rear. A large army of unknown origin is launching a fierce attack on the rebel camp from the outside!"

Upon hearing this,

Ji Yun frowned slightly.

Her first thought was of the unknown force that had plundered the Pingtian Army's supplies a few days ago.

Unexpectedly,

At this critical moment,

They even sent troops to coordinate with us from afar, launching a pincer attack from both sides.

How many soldiers do they have?

The reporting soldier shook his head: "It's too dark to see the exact number, but judging from the scale of the attack, the number is not small."

Such an answer,

This immediately deepened Ji Yun's doubts.

after all,

She couldn't understand why the other party would help her. If robbing the grain was unintentional, the current coordinated attack from both sides couldn't be explained by coincidence.

It is clear,

The other party is supporting me.

But the problem is,

Who exactly are these people, where do they come from, and what is their purpose in helping me?

Could it be...?

Within Dajing,

Are there still loyal and righteous people that I don't know about?

Thinking of this,

A glint of light flashed in Ji Yun's eyes.

Regardless of who the other party is, at least for now, both sides share the same goal.

"Give the order: ignore that army and crush the enemy first."

"Yes, sir!"

As the order was issued

Jing Jun's offensive intensified once again.

On the other side,

Han Yilin also led his army to break through continuously. Under the attack from both sides, the Pingtian Army, which was already teetering on the brink of collapse due to the plague, finally could not hold on any longer.

As more and more people,

Participating in the escape

The scales of victory tipped completely at that moment.

Despite the Pingtian Army's large size, wars throughout history have never been about which side has more troops and therefore wins.

after all,

Battles where the few defeat the many.

But they are countless.

In the Battle of Fei River, the Former Qin army, which boasted a million strong force, ultimately suffered a disastrous retreat due to morale issues.

In the Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao's army also had a numerical advantage, but due to disease, unfamiliar water and soil, and a fire, they were still defeated and fled to Huarong.

What truly determines the outcome of a war is...

It is always the result of countless factors, including troop strength, morale, supplies, terrain, generals, and the morale of the army.

Not to mention the current Pingtian Army,

The plague raged,

During the day, they massacred tens of thousands of infected soldiers, and morale had already plummeted to rock bottom.

nowadays,

They were attacked from both sides again.

This situation

Let alone an army of a million, even an army of ten million would still be defeated.

quickly,

The defeat was like an avalanche.

The snowball kept getting bigger and bigger.

Many people began to abandon their armor and weapons in order to run faster. However, in the darkness of night, many others did not even know where the enemy was. They simply saw that everyone around them was running and instinctively followed suit to escape.

around,

Everywhere there were shouts of killing, screams of agony, and figures of people fleeing.

Ji Yun fought her way out of Qing Shi Valley, while Han Yilin pushed his way in from the outside.

The two sides, one inside and one outside,

It was like two sharp blades that tore apart the Pingtian Army that had been besieging Qingshi Valley.

This pursuit,

It lasted all night.

Until the east began to lighten,

As dawn broke,

Only then did both sides gradually cease their pursuit.

The once formidable million-strong Pingtian Army, powerful enough to stop a river with a single whip, was utterly routed in just one night.

now,

Inside and outside Qing Shi Valley,

Looking around,

Everywhere there were abandoned weapons, armor, flags, and supplies.

It was at this moment that

Several server-wide announcements appeared in the world chat of all players.

[Server-wide Announcement!]

.......

The notifications sounded one after another.

The key is,

Each server-wide announcement was posted three times in a row.

And this time,

A total of eighteen prompts.

The number of regular troops defeated ranged from 50,000 to 100,000, 200,000, 300,000, 500,000, and even a million.

Let alone Han Yilin,

Right now,

All players across the continent were stunned into silence after receiving this series of announcements.

Stunned, with blank stares, many felt as if their brains had crashed, and some even kept rubbing their eyes, afraid they were seeing things.

But as a result,

no change.

A total of eighteen announcements,

The last item, in particular, was marked with the word "million" in bright red font.

These two words,

It completely overturned the perceptions of many players.

this moment,

As if time had stood still,

Regardless of the region or country, without exception, everyone is in a state of shock.

among them,

This also includes Han Yilin himself.

only,

Compared to others, he was the one who recovered the fastest.

He had expected to win this battle, but he didn't expect that the victory he achieved by joining forces with Ji Yun to launch a pincer attack would trigger a server-wide announcement.

of course,

This battle,

The auxiliary players also contributed a lot.

only,

Han Yilin guessed that the effort they put in should also be attributed to him.

just,

Before Han Yilin could even check the rewards, Zhuque, whom he had met once before, arrived with his men at a rapid pace.

After getting closer,

Zhuque smiled. "I didn't expect it to really be you. His Majesty wishes to thank you in person. Would it be convenient for you, sir?"
