Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

"Su Li, Nie Xinliu, lead your troops and kill these turncoat wolves!"

Hou Yuxiao's voice, somewhat frantic, spread throughout the area inside and outside the west gate of Yeyun County. In fact, there was no need for him to issue a command, as the two Zhaoyang Army units led by Nie Xinliu and Su Li were already so close to the new army that the moment the new army turned, the two forces immediately became entangled.

"The whole army prepares for battle, do not panic. Even with three hundred thousand riffraff, without the city's main forces, they are nothing but a rabble. They can do nothing to us!"

"Zhaoyang Army, attack...

Despite Su Li and Nie Xinliu rapidly giving loud orders to face the enemy, the four hundred thousand Zhaoyang Army soldiers still appeared somewhat disorganized, caught off guard by the sudden betrayal of the new army. The formation at the very front was immediately broken, and although the soldiers in the middle and rear tried hard to maintain order, they were still affected by the chaos of the front ranks, inevitably showing signs of disorder.

The combined forces of both armies reached a formidable seven hundred thousand, making it impossible to become fully entangled in a short time. Apart from the forward armies clashing, the only ones who could engage in battle were the martial arts experts who had reached the Gang Qi Realm within the army.

Although the new army was weak, its sheer number of three hundred thousand could not be ignored. Furthermore, these soldiers were obviously influenced by Zheng Ping's words, either resigned to their fate or hoping to disrupt the Hexi army and summon the Leiyin Temple forces from Yeyun County for help. Their attacks were fiercer than when they had surrendered, even more ruthless than before.

The Zhaoyang Army had more numbers and martial arts experts, and indeed held the upper hand. However, it was impossible to resolve the thirty thousand new army quickly in a short timeframe.

In just a span of a hundred breaths, the Hexi army besieging the city fell into internal chaos.

On the city wall, Jin Guang, Nu Yuan, the commanding Mingwang Buddha, and a group of Leiyin Temple's powerful figures in the shattered realm looked with anticipation and excitement at the chaotic Hexi army below.

"World-Honored One, this is an opportunity not to be missed. With the Hexi army in such disarray, if we deploy our forces now to coordinate with these three hundred thousand, we can definitely crush them in one blow!"

Wufa's heart was quite anxious as he watched the disarrayed Hexi army outside the city. He couldn't help but petition the two World-Honored Ones.

Unfortunately, including Mingguang Buddha, both World-Honored Ones merely shook their heads noncommittally in response to his suggestion.

"Who said the entire Hexi army is in chaos?"

Wufa quickly turned his head to look outside the city, noticing a vast, unmoving mass of Red Flame Army in the distance. His expression immediately tightened as he realized the others' intent, contemplating for a moment before softly saying, "The Zhaoyang Army is currently in the middle, making it not so easy for that million-strong Red Flame Army to support them, right?"

"Indeed, it is not that simple, but remaining completely motionless is quite suspicious."

"Are you suggesting that Hou Yuxiao is deliberately luring us out of the city?"

Mingwang Buddha's pupils turned slightly cold, hesitantly nodding.

In reality, not only him, but Jin Guang and Nu Yuan were also unsure whether this was Hou Yuxiao's plot.

The Hexi army using thirty thousand surrendering soldiers in the vanguard makes logical sense, as the deserters rebelled to survive. The battle with the forty thousand Zhaoyang soldiers is undoubtedly genuine, with no pretense. They could tell.

The reactions on Hou Yuxiao and his troops' faces earlier didn't resemble acting...

But the problem is, everything happening is just too strange.

An army hasn't even engaged in battle, yet Hexi is already in chaos?

Could Hou Yuxiao really be that foolish?

"It is indeed possible that this is Hexi's ploy to entice us. Our two million strong forces from the temple are steadfast in Yeyun County, leaving Hexi with no options. They may have concocted this feigned chaos, hoping that once we leave the city to assist, the million-strong Red Flame Army will move, leading our two armies to likely engage in battle outside the city."

Hearing Jin Guang's words, Mingwang Buddha nodded, saying, "Disciple agrees. Regardless, the battle between the thirty thousand surrendered soldiers and the Zhaoyang Army is genuine. Venturing out of the city to aid them might leave us passive, making victory over Hexi difficult. At best, it would save the thirty thousand surrendered soldiers, offering little gain. Conversely, should this be Hexi's plot to lure us, tricking us into opening the city gates, or if there are Hexi people mixed among these thirty thousand, once we fall for their scheme, our original solid defensive stance will immediately be disrupted, leading to direct conflict with Hexi and causing incalculable losses.

Not going out, nor letting anyone in is the best strategy! "

Everyone on the city wall nodded upon hearing this, even Wufa.

Getting lured out of the city risks everything, staying inside ensures stability.

Comparing the two, the best strategy is clear.

Determined to remain within the city, the people on the wall watched Zheng Ping below leading the new army against the Zhaoyang Army, growing increasingly anxious.

In terms of cultivation, combat power, or military discipline, the new army was entirely outclassed by the Zhaoyang Army. Initially, driven by fervor and the element of surprise, they managed to entangle with the Zhaoyang Army for a while. However, as the Zhaoyang Army gradually regained their rhythm, the situation swiftly turned one-sided.

Zheng Ping, along with a group of experts at his side, continuously retreated, frequently turning back to gaze at the East City Wall of Yeyun County, eyes filled with desperation, hoping the forces of Leiyin Temple would quickly come to their aid.

Their numbers were already fewer than the opposition; hoping to win was mere wishful thinking!

In the end, Zheng Ping dared to revolt, and the new army dared follow him because Yeyun County was right before them. They all knew that inside the city were the over two million strong forces of Leiyin Temple, alongside the two World-Honored Ones, Jin Guang and Nu Yuan, and countless experts, their strength no less than Hexi.
