A spear thrust out, and Wan Yanhe, a Golden Dynasty Grandmaster of the first level, met his end at Bingzhou Fortress!
The army of ten thousand, gazing at the bloody figure in the sea of corpses, held their breath in terror. As the Elite Battalion reaped madly, more than half of the twenty thousand Jin soldiers were killed or wounded. The Grandmaster expert within the bloody figure shattered the pride of the Jin people.
In the eyes of these Jin soldiers, the pathetic remnants of the Wu Kingdom, who had been utterly crushed, had managed to slay their general, Wan Yanhe, a Grandmaster expert, amidst a hundred thousand troops!
Streams of Asura spears streaked across the sky above the Jin soldiers, exuding a scarlet aura of death. Such was the might of the Jin army!
Despite Wan Yanhe's death in the midst of their forces, the remaining Jin soldiers still resisted stubbornly, even fighting with bloodshot eyes. The eight hundred Elite Battalion soldiers had already lost over two hundred men!
Gao Shun wiped the bloodstains from his Golden Soul Spear, his pupils blazing. With a cold snort, he injured over a hundred Jin soldiers.
Gao Shun swung his spear, coordinating with the military formation of the Elite Battalion soldiers, mercilessly harvesting the remaining Jin troops. All twenty thousand Jin soldiers were to be annihilated here. If even one escaped, it could ruin their lord's entire plan.
Wolves' smoke billowed from Bingzhou Fortress, and the smoke that had been dormant for half a year once again rose from this desolate stronghold.
The setting sun cast scattered rays upon the yellow sand, stretching for a thousand miles, strewn with corpses, battle blades glinting, the yellow sand tinged with purple-black.
The battle finally drew to a close. The eight hundred brave soldiers of the Elite Battalion, resisting desperately, held Bingzhou Fortress. After paying a heavy price, they had annihilated all twenty thousand Jin soldiers and one Grandmaster expert!
They had completed the mission assigned by Yang Hao!
Under Gao Shun's command, over five hundred Elite Battalion soldiers cleaned up the battlefield. Dozens of mountains of corpses appeared on the yellow sand, and flames were ignited, filling the sky with black smoke!
Gao Shun and over five hundred Elite Battalion soldiers were stationed at Bingzhou Fortress, guarding this desolate, sandy land.
Liangzhou Prefectural City.
Yang Hao, who was cultivating in his room, suddenly felt hundreds of faint starlight surrounding him. This situation had occurred several times, and Yang Hao had inquired with the system.
The system informed him that these were the souls of fallen Chinese soldiers, who, after a heroic sacrifice, were summoned by the Samsara Xuanhuang Pagoda, their primal souls returning for another slumber.
He immediately asked the system if he could perform a second summoning using slaughter points and purchasing blind boxes. The system's response was a ruthless: "Unknown?"
This greatly vexed Yang Hao. The land of the Wu Kingdom was barren and lacked Yuan Li. How difficult it was to summon qualified soldiers to fill the ranks on the Wu Kingdom's soil!
From the current perspective, it was impossible to revive fallen Chinese soldiers again. This meant that with only Gao Shun and five hundred Elite Battalion soldiers, it would be difficult to hold Bingzhou Fortress.
One must realize that once news of the hundred thousand Jin cavalry being trapped in the heart of the Wu Kingdom spread, it would inevitably provoke a fierce counterattack from the Jin forces. At that time, Gao Shun's pressure would greatly increase.
Bingzhou Fortress could not be lost.
"Guards!"
Yang Hao spoke with a calm voice after careful consideration. The military geography of Bingzhou Fortress was extremely important and must be held.
"Your subordinate is here!"
The guards outside the door immediately responded.
"Order Liao Hua to lead fifty thousand troops to Bingzhou Fortress immediately!"
After careful thought, all other remarkable individuals were positioned in crucial locations and could not be easily moved. After much deliberation, he could only transfer Liao Hua from Youzhou.
Shan Xiongxin was sufficient to handle Youzhou.
"Ding! Gao Shun bravely fought at Bingzhou Fortress, annihilating twenty thousand Jin soldiers. Gao Shun angrily slew a Grandmaster expert amidst the army, earning a total of forty thousand slaughter points!"
A wave of system prompts brought Yang Hao back to his senses. He gently closed his eyes and mused in his mind.
"System, settle the accounts!"
Yang Hao thought that the civil war in the Wu Kingdom was about to enter its final offensive. Ji Shu's continuous growth brought considerable pressure to Yang Hao.
"Ding! Host currently has nine hundred thousand faith points and seventy thousand slaughter points!"
"Use fifty thousand faith points to enhance cultivation!"
Yang Hao said solemnly in his mind.
"Ding, fifty thousand faith points deducted successfully. Congratulations to the host for advancing to Innate Fifth Layer!"
Yang Hao looked at his cultivation and strength, finally catching up with the main force. Currently, the ancient heroes summoned into existence had a minimum cultivation of Wu Yong's Innate Sixth Layer.
"Exchange seven thousand units of reincarnation power for a summoning!"
"Ding! Seventy thousand slaughter points deducted successfully, successfully obtaining seven thousand units of reincarnation power!"
"Ding! Seven thousand units of reincarnation power deducted successfully!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the Warring States assassin – Jing Ke!"
On the Samsara Xuanhuang Pagoda, a blurred carved figure slowly appeared, bathed in golden light, indistinct!
Jing Ke?
Yang Hao, deep within his soul, looked at the carved figure on the Samsara Xuanhuang Pagoda, his expression calm, yet he could not suppress his immense joy. Jing Ke, one of the four great assassins of the Warring States period!
Befriending the scholars of the world, Prince Dan was wise. A heart dedicated to Qin, an autumn lotus and a lone sword, cold.
Entering the wolf's den, a common man's ambition beyond life and death; his heart for Yan, the cold wind of Yishui flows through ancient and modern times.
Jing Ke was truly a righteous man of ancient times, renowned throughout the land. When the country needed him, he stepped forward, journeyed a thousand miles, all for his ambition to defend the nation!
Yang Hao reminisced about history, filled with emotion, his spirit wandering through the long river of history, crossing that magnificent era of heroes and brilliant generals!
"Open Jing Ke's information!"
Yang Hao looked at the Samsara Xuanhuang Pagoda, his heart filled with anticipation. He had spent three thousand units of reincarnation power to summon Shan Xiongxin, so how much would Jing Ke, at five thousand units of reincarnation power, be like?

Experience: Jing Ke, surname Jiang, clan Qing, courtesy name Ci Fei, a native of Wei during the late Warring States period, a descendant of Qing Feng, a high official of Qi during the Spring and Autumn period. He was a famous assassin of the Warring States period, also known as Qing Qing, Jing Qing, and Qing Ke.
Jing Ke enjoyed reading and swordplay, and was known for his generosity and chivalry. He later traveled to Yan and was recommended to Crown Prince Dan by Tian Guang.
After Qin annihilated Zhao, its forces advanced towards Yan's southern border. Crown Prince Dan, filled with dread, decided to send Jing Ke to Qin to assassinate the King of Qin. Jing Ke proposed to Crown Prince Dan that he would present the head of the Qin traitor Fan Yuqi and the map of Yandu Heights to the King of Qin, and assassinate him when the opportunity arose.

Crown Prince Dan could not bear to kill Fan Yuqi, so Jing Ke privately met with Fan Yuqi and explained the truth. Fan Yuqi, in order to help Jing Ke, committed suicide.
In 227 BCE, Jing Ke, carrying the map of Yandu Heights and the head of Fan Yuqi, went to Qin to assassinate the King of Qin. Before his departure, Crown Prince Dan, Gao Jianli, and many others saw Jing Ke off at the Yishui River, in a scene of great tragedy.
"The wind howls and the Yishui is cold, a warrior departs and never returns," were the verses Jing Ke chanted farewell. After entering Qin with Qin Wuyang, the King of Qin summoned him grandly in the Xianyang Palace.
Upon presenting Fan Yuqi's head and the map of Yandu Heights, the map was unrolled to reveal a dagger, and Jing Ke's attempt to assassinate the King of Qin failed. He was severely wounded by the King of Qin's sword and then killed by Qin guards.
