They marched in, their mission a failure, having not completed the task assigned by Fu Youde. This would likely become an obstacle to sweeping through Feng'an.
"Advance another fifty li. If there's still no sign, we'll immediately march into the main battlefield. What do you think, General Sun?"
After a moment of contemplation, Sun Chengzong said.
"Since that's the case, let's proceed!"
"Continue forward!!"
...
"Faster, faster, another thousand pills of medicine!!!"
"Quick, bring out new armor!!"
"Front ranks, continue defending!"
After the army regrouped, the retreating soldiers were in utter chaos. Generals commanded the restoration of injuries. Time was of the essence; at any moment, the Kui Niu Legion of the Great Han Heavenly Dynasty might launch a fierce attack. Su Dan Novel Network
"Center army, continue to retreat. The twenty thousand soldiers in the main camp will advance to fill the gaps in the center army!!"
Fei Liangong was in control of the entire situation. The sudden attack by the Kui Niu Legion had indeed caught him off guard.
"Any news of the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty's army?"
"How long has it been? Why is there still no movement!"
Wu Leyu drank in disappointment. They had activated the grand formation, and by the time their army pressed into the ruins of the formation, so much time had passed, enough for the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty's army to rendezvous with them.
"Perhaps they were ambushed!"
"Don't forget, before this army entered, a portion of the Kui Niu soldiers disappeared without a sound."
Looking at Wu Leyu's disappointed expression, Liao Ti said in a deep voice.
"This is truly unexpected. I still don't see any sign of the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty's army!" Fu Youde, emerging from the ruins of the formation, scanned the Feng'an Divine Dynasty's army, capturing a few auras, and looked disappointed.
By now, they also had not seen the signal from the Second Army, and it was likely they had missed their target too.
"There's no trace of the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty's army in the southeast. Commander, I estimate they are in the northwest!"
Feng Sheng said, standing beside Fu Youde.
"That's likely it. Feng'an Divine Dynasty has three Saints. Leaving them to you should be fine. Li Wenzhong!"
Fu Youde said.
"Commander!" Li Wenzhong stepped forward and bowed.
"Dispatch thirty thousand soldiers from the First Army to advance northwest with me. The command here will be handed over to Qi Jiguang."
Fu Youde mounted his horse.
"As you command!"
Li Wenzhong turned and left. Soon, Fu Youde led thirty thousand troops towards the northwest.
Fu Youde's departure did not attract much attention, as the high-ranking officials of the Feng'an Divine Dynasty were completely unaware of his information. However, the movement of thirty thousand troops towards the northwest did draw Fei Liangong's attention.
"Are they going to look for the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty's army?"
Watching the thirty thousand Kui Niu soldiers gradually move away, a smile appeared on Fei Liangong's face. "Heaven truly favors me. To dare to confront the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty with only thirty thousand troops? A great opportunity. Hurry and rest, and await my order to attack."
He intended to wait for this army to move further away, leaving less than fifty thousand Kui Niu soldiers. How could they compare to his army? Moreover, there was only the aura of one Saint opposite them, how could they fight!
If those thirty thousand troops encountered Bu Pinglong, they would simply be courting death. Once the Kui Niu Legion was annihilated, he could lead his army into the Great Han Heavenly Dynasty's Dao State and plunder its territory!
"Since the Commander has gone west, it's unlikely the Yaoguang Divine Dynasty's army will appear anytime soon!"
Qi Jiguang returned to the center army, took the military token, and chuckled.
"Since the Marshal has entrusted me with this military token, are you willing to take orders?"
"I am at your disposal!"
Li Wenzhong, Zhou Yuji, and Feng Sheng bowed with clasped fists.
"Good!"
"Wang Baobao, heed my order! I command you to lead the cavalry from the right flank and charge directly towards the central camp of the Feng'an Divine Dynasty!"
"This subordinate obeys!"
"Li Wenzhong, heed my order! You will lead one hundred thousand troops to attack the Feng'an Divine Dynasty's left flank and tie down the enemy!"
"General Feng!"
"There are three Saints within the enemy ranks. Our strength is insufficient. These three will be your responsibility. I have only one request: do not let them attack our army. Kill them all, leave none behind!"
"Take the banner!"
"General Qi, rest assured!"
Feng Sheng took the general's banner, gripping his great saber, and disappeared into a spatial rift.
"General Zhou, you will accompany me to lead the remaining soldiers and attack the front with full force!!" Qi Jiguang's eyes shone brightly as he wiped the blood from his saber.
"As you command."
Zhou Yuji took the general's banner, turned, and mobilized the remaining soldiers, joining the Third Army.
"Kill!"
About half an hour later, Fei Liangong was the first to lead his army in an attack. He saw the frequent movements of the Kui Niu Legion and seized this window of opportunity to strike decisively.
"Well met!!"
Qi Jiguang stroked his Qi family saber. The blade emanated a peerless divine light, and with the previous bloodstains, it now had a faint crimson hue!
"Kui Niu Legion!"
"Kill them!!"
"Kill!"
The three armies roared in unison like thunder. Li Wenzhong's army on the left flank launched continuous fierce attacks, with all soldiers doing their utmost to tie down a large number of enemy troops.
On the right flank, a strong wind blew, the earth rumbled, and dust billowed!
Rumble!
Hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry, led by Wang Baobao, advanced like giant pythons through the jungle, their movements agile. The dense jungle offered no obstacle to the cavalry, as if it were an open plain!
"Arrows, defend!!" Wang Baobao roared.
"Boom!"
Azure divine light flashed in the jungle, followed by a roar from high in the sky, like thunderous rage. A dense volley of arrows instantly enveloped the enemy!
"Kill!"
Qi Jiguang and Zhou Yuji, wielding their sabers, led the charge. The battle between the three armies erupted instantly, with azure divine light flashing all around!
The piercing sound of arrows, like the roar of a thousand beasts!
"Courting death!"
"Charge, kill all these humans!"
Generals of the Feng'an Divine Dynasty, brandishing their weapons, commanded their armies to launch fierce charges against the Kui Niu soldiers from the three directions!
In an instant, blades clashed, sparks flew, divine light exploded, and countless bodies were torn apart on the battlefield. Especially the cavalry led by Wang Baobao, who executed lightning warfare to its extreme. One volley of arrows cleared tens of thousands of enemy troops on the right flank.
Ten thousand horses trampled, and dust quickly enveloped the area, only the muffled sound of hooves rumbling forward could be heard!
"Boom!"
With a single saber stroke from Qi Jiguang, hundreds fell dead. Crimson blood stained Qi Jiguang's azure battle armor, and his face was covered in blood, making his features indistinguishable.
"Kill!!"
Countless Kui Niu soldiers charged forward with all their might. Twenty years of daily training were for this very moment, to fight valiantly and achieve glory.
"Qi Jiguang!!"
"Die!!"
Watching the center army continuously falter, Fei Liangong locked onto Qi Jiguang, who was covered in blood.
