"The strategist has ordered the entire army to attack, slay Hai Lingyu, and annihilate the eighty thousand elite troops of the Haiyun Divine Dynasty!"
Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, gazing at the red light above the defensive fortress, were also contemplating the timing.
A figure flashed by, prostrating himself before the two.
"Good!"
Zhao Yun glanced at Huang Zhong, and they both rejoiced, leading their vast armies to charge towards the defensive fortress.
......
"The Great Han Vermilion Bird Legion, Yan Ren Zhang Yide is here again! Hai Xing'an of the Haiyun Divine Dynasty, do you dare to fight!"
Less than half an hour after the forty thousand troops marched out, at the encampment of Hai Xing'an's army, smoke billowed from all directions, and endless crimson Southern Ming flames gradually engulfed Hai Xing'an's army. The terrifying flames pierced the heavens!
Boom!
With a fierce shout, the grand formation directly collapsed!
"Hai Xing'an, you have been surrounded by my Vermilion Bird Legion. Surrender, and you may live!"
In Hai Xing'an's sight, Zhang Fei, leading Gongsun Zan and hundreds of thousands of troops, charged towards his location. Especially the eight-zhang snake spear in Zhang Fei's hand, which emanated divine light, filled him with dread!
"In the tens of thousands of years of the Haiyun Divine Dynasty, has anyone ever surrendered!"
"Great Han Heavenly Dynasty, you have good plans, you have actually schemed against me!" Sū Dān Xiǎo Shuō Wǎng
At this moment, Hai Xing'an clearly understood. From seeing the firelight of the defensive fortress, to the forty thousand reinforcements marching out of the city, and then to the Vermilion Bird Legion before him, he finally realized that every step he took was within the enemy's calculations!
No!
There's also Hai Lingyu!
"You dare to scheme against this king!"
"Kill!"
Hai Xing'an roared. To this day, he still didn't know who in the Vermilion Bird Legion had schemed against him. This Vermilion Bird Legion had such an appetite, wanting to swallow both him and Hai Lingyu in one go!
"If you do not submit, then you will all die!!"
Zhang Fei's ox-like eyes glared, his eight-zhang snake spear roared incessantly, and his entire body suddenly burst into layers of divine fire!
"Han bandit!"
"You will all die horrible deaths!!"
Hai Xingqing roared towards the heavens, unleashing his divine power of a seventh-layer Saint King. He reached out and tore open the void, pulling out a blue steel fork from the emptiness. His divine power transformed into a blue divine glow, attaching itself to the fork, and he thrust it horizontally towards Zhang Fei!
"Vile creature, how dare you insult my country's name!"
The eight-zhang snake spear in his hand stabbed out directly. Hearing Hai Xingqing's words, Zhang Fei became enraged, and the boundless divine power within him was poured entirely onto the snake spear without reservation!
Boom!
The snake spear, burning with Vermilion Bird divine fire, collided with the blue steel fork in mid-air!
The convergence of the two torrents created layers of terrifying aftershocks that engulfed the city walls of the encampment!
And Hai Xingqing could no longer emerge from that terrifying explosion!
Boom!
A steel fork plummeted towards the earth!
"Vermilion Bird Legion, kill!"
Gongsun Zan and others, watching the steel fork fall, then shook their armies and charged towards the hundreds of thousands of troops within the city!
"Submit to the Great Han, and you may live!"
Liao Hua led the army into the enemy ranks, each saber strike taking away thousands of lives. Streams of blood and gushes of hot blood watered this land!
Boom!
The Vermilion Bird army charged from all directions. The Haiyun Divine Dynasty army, having lost Hai Xingqing, collapsed with astonishing speed!
A large portion of them directly knelt down, burying their heads deep in the blood.
Half a day later, Gongsun Zan escorted forty thousand prisoners towards a city ahead.
......
Between Hai Xingqing's army and the defensive fortress, Zhang Liao held his hook-sickle sword, surveying the entire battlefield. The previous surprise attack had caught the enemy off guard, and this time, holding the advantage, they pressed their advantage step by step. The Vermilion Bird soldiers' morale was thunderous, and their blade light shot towards the sky!
"If you do not surrender, then kill!"
"Leave none alive!"
Zhang Liao strode through the void.
Boom!
The Vermilion Bird soldiers, from the ground to the sky, marched in unison. Their faces were cold, most of them stained with blood, their armor burning with flames, and the blades in their hands simultaneously erupted with a chilling glow!
Cries echoed!
A thousand-zhang Vermilion Bird once again soared into the sky~!
Its wings flapped, the void shattered, and tens of thousands of Haiyun Divine Dynasty soldiers turned into blood. At this moment, the main general was moved. Facing an overwhelmingly powerful enemy, he began to panic.
Boom!
Blade light from all directions, from the heavens to the earth, burning with fierce flames, rushed into the Haiyun Divine Dynasty army!
Above the void, the Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, and the Southern Ming flames poured down!
"I... I surrender!"
"I surrender!"
The Haiyun Divine Dynasty's main general threw down his long saber and roared desperately!
Too late!
Zhang Liao remained silent.
Soon, the blade light that filled the sky struck his flesh, along with the erosion of the Southern Ming flames, causing his divine consciousness to dissipate and his body to explode, scattering blood across the nine heavens!
In a single attack, the ground was covered in blossoms, ravaged by Vermilion Bird divine fire everywhere. The remaining over three hundred thousand Haiyun Divine Dynasty soldiers were further reduced by a third!
"Surrender and live!"
"Surrender and live!"
Boom!
Hundreds of thousands of Vermilion Bird soldiers grabbed handfuls of pills to replenish their divine power. They raised their blades again, and above the void, the Vermilion Bird that instilled fear in the Haiyun Divine Dynasty soldiers flapped its wings!
"Submit!!"
"We submit!!"
"Submit!!"
Over two hundred thousand soldiers cried out in pain and sorrow. This battle was fought with utter powerlessness, on entirely different levels.
......
At this time, the Haiyun Divine Dynasty defensive fortress was still covered in flames, with constant booming sounds and the wails of soldiers.
"Continue to launch!!"
"Launch every single fiery iron ball, leave none behind!!!"
"Continue the bombardment!!"
Outside the defensive fortress, Lu Kang commanded the army. At this moment, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong also joined with their troops, looking at the defensive fortress ablaze in the distance!
"Rumble!!"
Under Lu Kang's command, a full three hundred thousand trebuchets incessantly launched fiery iron balls. The earth trembled continuously. The Vermilion Bird soldiers standing here were sweating profusely from the intense heat.
No one knew if the eighty thousand elite troops of the Haiyun Divine Dynasty would be annihilated. Regardless, this defensive fortress was destined to be reduced to ashes. As for Hai Lingyu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and even Ma Chao, who had locked onto Hai Lingyu from the beginning, all shook their heads.
Whether Hai Lingyu was dead or not, Ma Chao had lost his aura the moment the defensive fortress's grand formation shattered.
Half an hour later, the Vermilion Bird First Army exhausted all the fiery iron balls they had brought. The intense booming continued for over an hour.
After dozens of breaths, the booming stopped, and an hour later, the flames began to weaken.
Within the sea of fire, beneath a blue protective barrier, Hai Lingyu, covered in blood, looked at the gradually weakening Southern Ming flames.
The moment the grand formation shattered, he hurriedly activated the protective formation, but it was too late, and he had been seriously eroded by the flames.
