My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 850 - 254 Duel_2

Under the vast sky, the pitch-black Bagong Mountain towers mightily, like a giant beast lying dormant on the thick earth, covered with jagged rocks, and dense foliage that devours the light. The grass and plants sway in the wind, whispering in hushed tones, and the dark green trees sway eerily, like twisted demon claws. Among them, crimson flags flutter, weaving through the forest. Shadows of soldiers move within, without discernible numbers, only revealing...

The entire mountain range teemed with them!

When spread out, two hundred thousand soldiers indeed form such a spectacle.

Occasionally, silhouettes flew across the sky, likely cultivators from Yunding Palace coming to assist, numbering over twenty.

"Dan Liangcheng."

Emperor Longqing said in a drawn-out tone: "Is this what you said about reinforcements not exceeding fifty thousand?"

"..."

Dan Liangcheng’s expression grew grave upon witnessing this scene: "If this is true, it means that after the battle at the Fei River, Qing Country had already begun preparations."

Cao Kai paid no heed, gesturing for him to continue.

"Your Majesty need not worry, even if they number two hundred thousand, we can handle them with ease."

Dan Liangcheng held a golden bamboo, pointing towards Kunyang City: "At the latest, before midnight tonight, I will be able to break the City Protection Array.

"By then, my sect’s brethren will use the human wave strategy to deal with the rebels inside the city, more than enough.

"I will continue to command the battle formations.

"Your Majesty and Senior Ling Kui can focus on confronting Chen Sansi.

"Furthermore, with the Thick Earth Barrier activated, news from Kunyang City is sealed; they have no way of knowing about the White Robe’s return.

"When the great formation breaks, it will be their moment of collapse.

"Therefore.

"What we must do now is simply to turn the Central and Rear Armies from facing Kunyang City to facing the Luojian, preventing a sudden attack from the Enemy Army without preparation.

"Your Majesty.

"The decisive victory will be at midnight tonight!

"After this battle, with Your Majesty’s cultivation, the entire Eastern Continent could be under your control within three to five years, and the Mang Mountain Ancestor Vein will naturally be within reach.

"Once successful, please do not forget..."

"Post-war matters will be discussed later."

Emperor Longqing interrupted: "What your Shengyun Sect must do is win this battle; as for the rest, it is unnecessary for Immortal Master Shan to worry."

"..."

Faced with such arrogance, Dan Liangcheng could only endure, bowing respectfully before continuing to wield his Lifebound Magical Artifact, attacking the city with the formation.

"Boom!"

With the dual augmentation of the Imperial Jade Seal and Ling Kui, the Mysterious Armor Xunfeng Formation, having supported until now, finally revealed a crack amidst the tremendous buzzing, and... freewёbnoνel-com

It could not be repaired!

It was as if prey had finally bled the first drop under siege, stimulating the beasts greatly, bringing court soldiers’ morale to a peak, nearly frantically engaging in the final assault on the city.

Meanwhile.

The rest of the court’s large army began to mobilize.

This campaign.

The over one million troops were divided into four parts.

The Vanguard Army, the Front Army, the Central Army, and the Rear Army, with one hundred thousand in the Vanguard Army and the rest with three hundred thousand soldiers each.

Upon receiving the latest orders, the army began to shift direction in batches.

Facing millions of soldiers, the sheer number was truly vast, blocking the entire plain, making it seem endless, forming a veritable "sea of people."

Such a massive army, akin to enormous siege engines, possessed unlimited power but was equally constrained by its size, making its movements extremely cumbersome.

Every soldier was a cog in a giant mechanism; a single command, from start to finish, would take over two hours to transmit.

This was even with the aid of cultivators.

Without cultivators, relying only on horses galloping back and forth, an apparently simple command like "Central and Rear Armies face east towards Luojian and form an array" would take at least half a day to complete.

After all, a million-strong army, just linking up the rear would cover dozens of miles.

The battle drums thundered, the flags waved.

These deafening noises seemed to boost morale but actually served as the army’s "communication tools."

How many times the war drums were beaten, how the flags were waved, directed soldiers in the formation on the steps to take, without a half-step error.

For this reason, only figures like the Military Immortal have the qualification to say, "the more, the better."

Finally.

With the giant mechanism operating smoothly, the orders were successfully completed, maintaining the Liuding Lijia Formation; the Central and Rear Armies, totaling six hundred thousand soldiers, turned their spearheads, their military strength targeting the eastern tributary of the Fei River, the long river of Luojian.

And.

These six hundred thousand soldiers bordered the Luojian Riverbank, lacking only a step to falling into the river, and with the Liuding Lijia Formation, golden walls emerged along the riverbank, denying the enemy any chance to cross.

"Boom——"

On the frontline.

With the onset of a new round of bombardment.

The City Protection Array of Kunyang City cracked from one fissure into many until a jagged hole half a zhang in diameter exploded in the southeast corner.

A Qi Refining Perfected Cultivator from the Shengyun Sect flew into the city, summoning a golden flying dagger, sealing it with both hands, fully channeling his mana into it.

"Buzz!"

The Golden Light Flying Knife tore through space, and wherever it passed, all Beiliang soldiers ahead, whether carrying shields or wearing armor, were all cut in half.
