You Jingzhi let out a fierce shout.
His protective Gang Qi suddenly soared.
Finally, it completely blocked the attack of the flute sound. His Flying Claw, coated with Gang Qi, transformed into a long and terrifying claw, resembling a withered tree branch, and descended from the sky once more.
The pitch of the flute sound rose higher.
An invisible force collided.
It actually blew away the full-strength strike from a Small Achieved Martial Artist of the Xuanxiang Realm.
"I don't believe it!"
You Jingzhi roared in anger, continuing to attack the green-robed scholar in the wheelchair frantically.
While the generals were fighting,
The Nan Xu army of one hundred thousand had completely fallen into endless chaos.
A dense fog that blanketed the sky!
This fog obscured half of the world
The soldiers of Nan Xu
watched with their own eyes as the places shrouded by the fog were left with bodies scattered everywhere...
The white fog, mingling with the blood mist, the sound of golden spears and iron horses, the black armor faintly visible, created an indescribable scene of divine awe interwoven with bloodbath, terrifying the onlookers to the point where their souls scattered and their guts split.
No one knew how many enemy soldiers were inside the fog.
Nor did anyone know what realm they were from.
All the soldiers of Nan Xu knew was they couldn't hold back the enemy!
It didn't matter how many people went to block them, whether cavalry or infantry, whether holding their ground or forming a battle array; they were all crushed mercilessly, leaving only a field of corpses. The great fog, in the eyes of the people, gradually morphed into a titanic beast that devoured all; wherever it went, no matter how many soldiers were present, they would be swallowed whole.
there was only one thought left in the minds of the Nan Xu soldiers.
"Everyone, stand your ground!"
A few Assistant Generals stepped out to command.
"Form a formation at the perimeter!"
"We have one hundred thousand soldiers!"
these Assistant Generals were either directly stabbed to death by a long spear amidst the throngs of soldiers,
or they simply couldn't command.
After all, an Assistant General could at most command a few thousand men; the rest simply wouldn't listen to them.
Chen Sansi, using his Qi Observation Skill, sought out and specifically targeted military officers to kill.
"Where is the Prince?!"
"Where are the Generals?"
"What should we do now?"
the one hundred thousand-strong army was nothing but loose sand.
They had no idea how to respond.
"Our army has been defeated!"
When the Jiuxiao Heavenly Soldiers formation charged at the flank,
the soldiers of Nan Xu, who were initially the vanguard but later shifted to the left side,
recalled the terror of having to hold up their shields even when relieving themselves.
Ever since the battle of Hulaoguan began, Chen Sansi, time and again, either charged into the formation alone or with a companion to slay generals. The troops that were originally responsible for the vanguard had long been scared witless; expecting them to siege was out of the question.
So, in order not to affect morale, they had already rearranged their deployment several times.
These soldiers, scattered everywhere, had become the seeds that ignited the epidemic.
Every step arranged by Chen Sansi
was like a series of interlocking chains, beginning to take effect.
"We can't win, it's simply not possible!"
"Those two, they killed General Peng, tens of thousands couldn't catch up with them!"
"Now with the army charging, how could we possibly win!"
on this vast and boundless wilderness,
an unprecedented grand rout could no longer be stopped. They couldn't even distinguish the directions, fleeing haphazardly in all eight directions. Even the few generals still holding on were killed by their own men in the chaos.
In the midst of battle,
the number of soldiers under one's command has its pros and cons.
Fewer men meant more agility,
while more men meant being unwieldy.
Once the number of soldiers reached a certain level, it demanded a very high command ability from the Commander. If not a naturally born grandmaster of military tactics, it would be simply impossible to command so many men.
Especially for many generals,
their talents only allowed them to command a few thousand or perhaps ten to twenty thousand men.
More is not always better,
and not everybody is capable of managing more.
Not to mention, within the Nan Xu Army, there were recruits with just two years of training, plus twenty thousand allies from Qing Country, creating utter chaos. With the three Mystical Phenomenon Generals absent, they were nothing but a disorganized mob.
as long as they took out the Main General,
the army of a hundred thousand would be completely defeated!
"Xia Cong, Xiao Zheng, you two continue to charge, but don't just rush straight ahead. Charge out diagonally, then charge back again diagonally!"
After Chen Sansi finished instructing, he headed straight for the Central Army Camp.
the Xuanjia Army, under various compounded factors, had already entered a state of the ultimate war frenzy. With eyes only for killing the enemy, and backed by the most important Mystical Energy and Heavenly Book, they confronted an Enemy Army intent only on fleeing, as if entering uninhabited territory.
Supported by the sound of flutes,
Deng Feng and others had been holding out in the encirclement until now.
You Jingzhi's multiple attacks had not been able to harm Fang Qingyun in the slightest.
Instead, reports of defeat after defeat kept coming in.
"If you don't go out to take charge of the army now... my hundred thousand troops are going to collapse right here!"
Fan Shuzhen, who was evenly matched with Deng Feng, cursed, "A hundred thousand men, and he's just a Meridian Passage? Inside Hulaoguan, there are only over ten thousand defending troops; can't you all hold them back!"
"Heavenly Soldiers and Generals!"
That Assistant General said in a panic, "They are possessed by Heavenly Soldiers!"
"It's also unclear how many there are, but definitely not just over ten thousand!"
It must be the Heavenly Book again!
He sheathed his sword intending to personally go and oversee the battle, but he couldn't break away. Deng Feng, wounded by several cuts, broke out of the encirclement and charged towards him again.
