Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1522 - 1526: Capture the Leader First to Defeat the Enemy
With a commanding question from Qin Tian, everyone fell silent.
Regarding Zhao Lanjin, these chiliarchs all have genuine admiration. Previously, Zhao Lanjin had trained with them; although Zhao Lanjin has always held the position of strategist, he already holds significant respect within Qin Tian's army.
Moreover, this particular unit of Qin Tian's is essentially comprised of his own loyal followers, sharing a common purpose. Each chiliarch respects and honors Qin Tian.
After assigning the positions, Qin Tian then commanded the troops to quietly retreat and ambush at a hidden spot located several kilometers north of Chen Feng's stationed position, awaiting the opportune moment to strike.
Simultaneously, Qin Tian had Xiaozhuang dispatch several groups of scouts to keep a continuous watch on the movements in Sanhe City. About half a day later, the scouts reported back that the gates of Sanhe City had opened, and the city garrison had come out!
"They're coming. It seems they intend to make a move," Qin Tian said solemnly.
"Xiaozhuang, what about that mysterious unit of Long Xuanji?"
"Boss, half an hour ago they stopped about thirty kilometers from where Chen Feng's unit is stationed at Changfeng Town. It seems they are waiting for movements from Sanhe City. In another two hours, when Sanhe City approaches Changfeng Town, they might set off."
"Good. You must now closely monitor Chen Feng's movements. With the fluctuations in Sanhe City, logically, Chen Feng should be aware. We just don't know whether he's detected this mysterious unit on our side. Find a way to let our scouts release the information to them ahead of time so they can be prepared."
"Okay, time's a bit tight, but I'll try my best."
The timing was just as Xiaozhuang estimated. Two hours later, the garrison of Sanhe City accelerated its pace, launching an attack just ten kilometers from Changfeng Town!
Meanwhile, the mysterious unit behind Changfeng Town, as if in concert with the Sanhe City garrison, also began their assault!
However, a quarter of an hour before the mysterious unit took action, Qin Tian's scouts had informed Chen Feng of their existence.
Although there wasn't enough time to prepare defenses, at least Chen Feng was mentally prepared, preventing him from panicking excessively.
Rumbling...
In the distance, the earth echoed with thunderous sounds.
At this moment, Qin Tian and his men, hidden among the trees, were all silent, each gazing at the sky.
"The battle has begun..." Xiaozhuang whispered.
"With tens of thousands involved, the fight will last at least four or five hours."
Standing up, Qin Tian said, "Let's move out now. No need for forced marching. By the time we arrive, it should take about two hours, at which point the battle will be in a stalemate, the perfect time for us to change the tide!" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Appearing at the most crucial place in the most critical moment, that is the effect Qin Tian seeks, the best way to achieve merit.
When they were about fifteen kilometers from Changfeng Town, the Dragon Clan's Flying Beast Soldiers spotted them.
At this moment, Qin Tian drew his long sword, shouting, "The time has come, brothers, charge for me!"
A force of ten thousand appeared behind the Dragon Clan's Central Army tent, sweeping through like a raging storm!
Originally, it was thought that such a surprise attack by Qin Tian would throw the Dragon Clan's army into chaos. Unexpectedly, as they charged, the Dragon Clan only took ten-odd minutes to send out a unit to combat Qin Tian's forces!
"Second, third, take care of yourselves! Old Zhao, follow me!"
Qin Tian led by example, with Zhao Lanjin, directly rushing toward the central tent of the Dragon Clan army!
"Capture the leader before capturing the bandits. We'll find their general and kill him!"
Qin Tian wounded a Dragon Clan soldier, calling to Zhao Lanjin.
"I'm inclined to do so!"
Zhao Lanjin, wielding a fine sword, already had several Dragon Clan soldiers dead at his feet as he spoke.
As a top swordsman assassin, his kills are more direct than Qin Tian's.
Without the Red Sword, Qin Tian's weapon battle lethality significantly decreased.
Together with Zhao Lanjin, their True Qi Shock Wave shattered the small True Qi Shields released by the soldiers, closing in on the Dragon Clan's innermost commander!
The Dragon Clan naturally recognized Zhao Lanjin's aim in advance, and various obstructions ensued.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With three punches, Qin Tian forced back the advancing Dragon Clan soldiers; concurrently, Zhao Lanjin on the side thrust his sword at the short-haired Dragon Clan general mounted on horseback!
"Kill him for me! Kill!"
The Dragon Clan general, seeing Zhao Lanjin rushing toward him, showed no sign of retreat, instead, wielding a long sword, stirring sword qi, and actively confronting Zhao Lanjin!
The Dragon Clan prefers fighting and this time, facing Zhao Lanjin, the Dragon Clan general transformed passivity into initiative. Wave after wave of sword strikes actively attacked Zhao Lanjin; amidst the rampant sword qi, many nearby City Guard Army and Dragon Clan soldiers suffered collateral injuries!
There is no need to emphasize Zhao Lanjin's swordsmanship; he leapt and flew with the Dragon Clan general into the sky shrouded with dark clouds, where sword qi arched like a rainbow, storms surged!
Seeing their initial entanglement without a clear winner, Qin Tian prepared to assist Zhao Lanjin but suddenly, from the side, a True Qi shot towards him!
"Prepare to die!"
A brawny man in black armor bellowed, swinging a great blade fiercely at Qin Tian!
The blade cleaved the air, producing a lightning-like glow that carved a half-meter-deep trench in the spot where Qin Tian had just stood!
"Such strong True Qi!"
Qin Tian exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the armor as belonging to another Dragon Clan general, without hesitation, he brandished his long sword and charged forward!
The two began another fierce battle!
In the exchange, Qin Tian estimated the Dragon Clan general's cultivation—
Nascent Soul Stage Peak!
Commanders leading thousands to ten thousand troops mostly possess this level of cultivation, contingent on the specific combat power accumulated at this stage.
However, Qin Tian, having crossed the Tribulation and reached the Longevity Realm, found even a top-notch Nascent Soul Stage Peak master was still hindered by the chasm of Tribulation Crossing before him!
When Qin Tian activated the Gale Illusion with True Qi, the Dragon Clan general began struggling to withstand.
The same Gale Illusion became exponentially more powerful after Qin Tian entered the Longevity Realm, with greater speed and lethality, directly forcing the opponent into relentless retreat!
"If I had the Red Sword, he'd certainly be a dead dog by now!"
Gaining the advantage, Qin Tian gave no quarter to his opponent, channeling Cold Ice True Qi to further suppress with Sword Qi!
Finally!
As the Dragon Clan general couldn't hold out and attempted to retreat, Qin Tian seized the moment, piercing his chest with a sword!
Rustle, rustle, rustle...
Cold Ice True Qi infiltrated through the long sword into the opponent's chest, breaking through the opponent's True Qi Defense Barrier. In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Clan general's eyes widened in disbelief, dead!
