My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 635 - 211 Confrontation_5
"That..."
Zhong Wuxin voiced her concerns, "With the decisive battle tomorrow, can he use it?"
"I am not versed in divination, how could I predict the future?"
Han Xiang withdrew the chess piece he intended to place down, and said indifferently, "Then let's first wait and see how he makes his move."
...
The next day.
5 a.m to 7 a.m.
"Woo——"
"Rumble rumble——"
The horn sounded piercingly through the heavens and earth, and the beating war drums vibrated as if an Earth Dragon were turning over.
At the break of dawn.
The West Qi Army took the initiative to attack!
Three hundred and fifty thousand troops, maintaining their formation, surged like a covering tide towards the Dasheng supervising army; although the latter were outnumbered, they showed no fear, and under the command of the battle flag, they charged headlong into the towering waves.
They split into three military formations.
The right army carried a sandstorm and a boundless killing intent.
The central army at sunrise seemed like Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
Before the left cavalry charged, there was a faint sound of thunder, imposing and immense.
The combined forces totaled over five hundred thousand.
Any individual caught within their midst would be like a speck of dust falling into the vast ocean, so insignificant and trivial that they would be utterly consumed in an instant.
High above in the sky.
Han Xiang overlooked the battle situation.
By his side was another Late Stage Qi Refining cultivator, Sikong Chen.
"Junior Brother Sikong."
Han Xiang gazed towards the Dasheng Central Army's location and spoke slowly, "Qu Yuanxiang is in the Left Army, I myself will find a way to stop Wang Jun later. You, along with Zhong Wuxin and Gong Yu, plus two more Middle Stage Qi Refining junior brothers, lead two hundred thousand troops to pierce directly into the Enemy Army's central forces and find the White Robe. The White Robe is merely at the Transcendent Realm; if the battle array hasn't drawn upon any Heavenly Phenomenon, he shouldn't be your match. Kill him directly, and we can firmly secure the Mang Mountain Ancestor Vein and return to report our success."
"Alright!"
Sikong Chen, standing on a flying artifact resembling a tree leaf, turned into a shadow and merged into the army, flying straight towards the Dasheng Central Army.
...
The Dasheng Central Army!
The Jiuxiao Heavenly Soldiers Demonic Subjugation Array seemed formidable, but there were actually only a little over thirty thousand troops, and among them, only five thousand were elite from the Hongze Camp, the rest were from the supervising army.
And there was no enhancement from Mystical Energy.
After the battle of Yin Mountain.
Inside the Xuanzhu, the restoration speed of the White Xuan Qi had increased even further.
However, the Heavenly Book Array's demand for Xuan Qi was determined by the array's scale, and the current Xuan Qi was not enough to sustain an array of thirty thousand people. Furthermore, since the key point of this battle was not the Central Army and there was no guarantee of victory, it made no sense to waste it.
The trump card should be saved for a critical moment.
"Sir..."
"They're coming over!"
"They're heading right for our Central Army Tent's location!"
"..."
Several supervisors from the supervising army reported in a frenzied manner.
One could only see the West Qi Central Army, dense and indecipherable in number. After clashing with the opposing forces, they were accurately charging towards the Central Army's command center.
"That's the Sheng people's Central Army Tent!"
"The White Robe!"
"I've seen the White Robe!"
In the vanguard of the West Qi, the Martial Saint Yuan Xicheng, with his sharp vision, pointed with his Azure Dragon Crescent blade at one among the many tents, "Kill the White Robe, become a Marquis, and enjoy hereditary unhindered succession!"
Hereditary unhindered succession!
Among all titles, these four words weighed the heaviest!
A "Marquis" with hereditary unhindered succession could even be more precious than an "Aliased King."
Because the four words "hereditary unhindered succession" meant that generation after generation could maintain their status. With proper planning, one could even create a family that lasted a thousand years!
Under such immense temptation, the Xiqi Soldiers burst forth with primitive bloodlust, like hungry wolves sighting flesh, they charged into the fray recklessly.
How vulnerable the Dasheng Central Army was.
Only their own people from the supervising army knew.
They had only thirty thousand!
But the West Qi Central Army.
Had two hundred thousand!
Thirty thousand against two hundred thousand!
Not to mention, the opposing side had even more Immortal Masters!
The front line's first formation was quickly breached, and the West Qi Army broke into the ranks unstoppably, heading straight for the second formation. They then deliberately dispersed, disregarding the rest of the Sheng Generals, aiming straight for the Central Army Tent.
In a fight between hundreds of thousands of troops, the battle line was very long.
When one side focuses its forces on attacking a certain "point," it's generally quite difficult to stop them.
"Supervisor!"
"They, they seem to know where you are!"
"What should we do?!"
"Maybe we should retreat first!"
"Yes, let's protect the Supervisor and withdraw first!"
"Let's retreat to the rear and have the Left Army come support us."
"Or, we can go straight back to Cloud Top Prefecture!"
The supervising army soldiers were somewhat in disarray.
Finally.
Under the attention of everyone.
The one in the White Robe slowly emerged.
Seeing the deluge rushing toward him, far from retreating, he advanced to meet it.
A White Horse appeared at just the right moment.
Chen Sansi mounted the horse, riding Qian Xun to the front line.
In his hand, the gleaming Zhen Yue was unsheathed towards the sky, and accompanied by the steed's neighing, his resounding voice echoed through the skies:
"Do not panic!
"I will take the lead as the vanguard and carve a path for my brothers!
"Even if I fall from my horse, do not mourn for me, nor stop the charge; grip your blades tightly, hold onto your reins, and follow the battle flag closely, until there are no enemies left ahead!
"Jiuxiao Heavenly Soldiers Demonic Subjugation Array, charge——"
Both sides were engulfed in black torrents.
In this surge of darkness, only a solitary white figure sped ahead, plunging into the tsunami."
