Chapter 166: A Hundred Phoenixes Arrive
"March!" Guo Hao gave an order and directly started the war.
Guo Hao is too lazy to play three battles with Yuan Shao. Why should he listen to your arrangements? You say three battles, so it means three battles?
Guo Hao directly opened the prelude to the war. Today, the whole world is in his hands, and Yuan Shao will definitely be defeated.
Following Guo Hao's order, the commander's flag shook, and the seven armies under Guo Hao slowly took steps and advanced slowly. The speed was not fast, but because their auras were connected to become a whole by Chen Xi, every step brought heavy pressure to the alliance army.
"It seems that our general doesn't want to fight with us. He is so confident that one battle will decide the outcome!" Ju Shou chuckled and ordered his men to raise the flag. The 150,000-strong army also moved forward slowly, and the entire five-army formation was completely opened.
The soldiers of the allied army began to march with high morale. With many princes facing them, they did not collapse before the battle.
"Move forward slowly, blend into one, and use your strength to overwhelm others. This is a really good strategy!" Ju Su opened his spiritual talent with a smile.
In an instant, the momentum of Yuan Shao's army suddenly rose to a higher level. The originally high morale broke through the limit, allowing the allied forces to reach another peak.
Ju Shou felt that his spiritual energy was pouring out like a waterfall. All talents consume the spiritual energy of the user. The difference is how much, and it depends on the number of times you use it and the object of your use.
This was the first time that Ju Shou had used his spiritual talent on a large scale, and the surging mental power made his face look a little pale.
At this moment, the spirit of Yuan Shao's army reached its limit, and the spirit of every member of the 150,000 soldiers was extremely active.
This active spirit is enough to allow them to exert their peak strength. At this moment, the 150,000 allied troops, including fierce generals like Yuwen Chengdu, are in high spirits.
"Yuan Hao, act quickly!" Ju Shou shouted. He would not be able to hold on for another minute.
Upon seeing this, Tian Feng quickly deployed the military formation, draining all the mental power of the counselors connected to the formation and injecting it into Ju Su's body.
"How could this happen!" The strategist under the prince was shocked. He felt that his mental power was being drained madly, and he could not control the dissipation of his mental power.
"What a powerful method!" Xun Yu narrowed his eyes and tried to block the loss of mental power, but found that it had little effect, and couldn't help but praise it.
Xun Yu never thought that he would fall into the trap. They were indeed Yuan Shao’s advisers, and their combined wisdom could even put him at a disadvantage.
"My spiritual talent can still last for a quarter of an hour." Xun You looked grim. His spiritual power was not as good as Xun Yu's. If he continued to be drained like this, the effect of his talent would dissipate.
"It's okay. Sun Bofu is not an ordinary person. We just need to do our own thing." Xun Yu comforted Xun You. Counselors rely on existing intelligence to make plans, and the difference in information makes them completely unprepared.
In just a moment, the top strategists had already thought of ways to counter, which was nothing more than researching some new secret techniques or military formations to fight back. However, that was a matter for the future. This time they were powerless to turn the tide.
This is actually the power brought by innovation. Every innovation brings about crushing victory, just like now they have no way to deal with Tian Feng.
They were indeed one step behind.
No matter how everyone reacts, Ju Su will not stop.
He used the mental power he drew on to forcibly raise the limit of his mental talent despite the consumption. At this moment, the allied forces were all promoted to a higher level. The soldiers who originally had a single talent were forced to cross the gap and become elite soldiers with double talents.
Although their strength is still a little bit short of the real double-talent elite due to the intervention of external forces, the gap between the two sides has narrowed from 1:5 to 1:1.5.
"Please, sir!" After Ju Su completed his blessing, Yuan Shao solemnly clasped his fists towards Yang Lin.
Yang Lin was full of respect. The wisdom and bravery displayed by Yuan Shao reminded him of Yang Jian, who was equally wise and heroic. If he had not been loyal to Li Changsheng because of the recruitment order, he would have been unable to resist joining Yuan Shao.
"Yang Lin will live up to everyone's expectations." Yang Lin clasped his fists in return, and then began his own conducting show.
As Yang Lin returned to the peak with his memories, he clearly remembered everything that had happened. The past events were vivid and completely different, but the only thing that remained unchanged was his experience and ability in leading troops in battle.
He didn't know why Yuwen Chengdu and the others had no memories of the past, and he didn't want to know. He just wanted to find a wise ruler to restore the country. He didn't like Li Changsheng, but some mysterious will constrained him.
Helping Yuan Shao was entirely his own idea, and he would not disobey Li Changsheng, but that did not mean he did not have his own ideas.
He saw the shadow of Yang Jian in Yuan Shao, so he wanted to help Yuan Shao once.
"Left and right wings, march at full speed!" Yang Lin waved his hand, announcing the official start of the war.
The two elite armies with a total of 300,000 soldiers were getting closer and closer. The left and right wings led by Yan Liang and Wen Chou suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Guo Hao's central army with roaring soldiers.
On the battlefield that stretched for more than ten miles, Yuan Shao's left and right wings moved closer to Guo Hao.
"Go straight to the center army!" Guo Hao was too lazy to pay attention. There were large armies on both wings to intercept him. He had only one goal, which was to go straight to Yuan Shao's center army and capture all the princes alive.
"Elai, go to the left wing to stop Yuwen Chengdu and don't let him interfere with Mengqi and the others!" Yuwen Chengdu on Yuan Shao's left wing was exceptionally prominent and actually pushed back against the Xiliang cavalry.
Yuwen Chengdu was filled with rage. He led his newly trained brave soldiers and a group of officers with strong internal energy to attack the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
The Qiang auxiliary soldiers who blocked the road could not stop Yuwen Chengdu at all. Several centurions relied on the cloud energy to suppress them and wanted to step forward to stop Yuwen Chengdu.
Yuwen Chengdu didn't even bother to look, and swept the phoenix-wing gilded hammer across. The huge force poured down on the surrounding soldiers, killing them all. An empty circle briefly appeared in front of Yuwen Chengdu.
The Qiang people fearfully bypassed Yuwen Chengdu and charged towards the army behind them.
"I'll stop him!" Zhang Ji said in a deep voice. He had the highest martial arts skills among the Four Heavenly Kings of the Iron Cavalry. Someone had to stand up at a time like this.
"Be careful!" Li Jue and others did not stop him, they knew this was the most correct choice.
They had to wait for Ma Chao's troops to bypass them, and then find an opportunity to launch a charge and defeat the opponent's line in one fell swoop.
As for whether they could break through the front line, this question did not even occur to their minds.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is invincible. There are only enemies they cannot catch up with, but no enemies they cannot defeat.
Back then, when their equipment was tattered and their numbers were few, they dared to defeat 20,000 Qiang people with only 3,000 of them, and defeated them with one battle.
Now with 12,000 Xiliang cavalry charging forward, they are confident that they are invincible.
"The northern hero Zhang Ji is here to meet you." Zhang Ji led three hundred Xiliang cavalrymen and violently broke through the Qiang army. The Qiang people's attitude of avoiding fighting made them disgusted, but they also knew that the Qiang people were just bullies who only bullied the weak and feared the strong. It was impossible to expect them to fight to the death with Yuwen Chengdu.
At this time, Yuwen Chengdu was about to break through the Qiang auxiliary troops with his personal guards, and relying on the Qiang people's bravery and their active avoidance, he was able to enter the empty space like a fish in water.
As the Qiang people were evasive, Yuwen Chengdu did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all. He had been disconnected from the left wing of the army and had only a hundred personal guards left with him. The Qiang people did not dare to confront Yuwen Chengdu, but they were not at all afraid of the soldiers under his command.
What's wrong with double talents? Feixiong and the others have seen it before. They are not afraid of just double talents.
The Qiang people’s idea is very simple. They will not fight against those who are stronger than the Xiliang Cavalry because they are afraid of them.
For example, Yuwen Chengdu is definitely stronger than Hua Xiong, the most powerful tiger in Xiliang, so they are afraid of him.
But they are not afraid of the mere double talents. After all, no one is as strong as Fei Xiong. If no one is as strong as Fei Xiong, then he is the same kind of person as them.
Double Talent Elite? Bullshit double talent, die!
With the Qiang people's strange thought process, they actually accomplished a strange phenomenon of luring the enemy into deep territory.
It seemed that a gap was torn in the Qiang army's defense, but in fact it had no impact on the Qiang army's defense line at all.
"Die!" Zhang Ji roared and attacked Yuwen Chengdu fiercely. He knew that Yuwen Chengdu was a tough guy. After all, he was a general praised by Lu Bu. He knew that he could not defeat him, but he felt that he should have no problem delaying him with the help of his Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
In this kind of legion combat where the internal energy is restricted to the limit, even Yuwen Chengdu should not be much different from him.
With this mentality, Zhang Ji attacked Yuwen Chengdu fiercely.
"Looking for death!" Yuwen Chengdu sneered, and the phoenix-wing gilded drill in his hand turned into a phoenix shadow, which was as real as a substance.
Under the pressure of the thick clouds in the sky , his internal energy was restricted to the limit, but Fengying concentrated his spirit, he was a spiritual cultivator.
Zhang Ji felt that something was wrong the moment he saw Feng Ying. This was a battlefield with 300,000 people, and yet he could display such extraordinary strength.
"die!"
By the time Zhang Ji heard Yuwen Chengdu's words clearly, the Phoenix-winged gilded hammer had already hit him. At this moment, Zhang Ji realized what a truly strong man was.
Hua Xiong's strength was too weak. Normally when sparring with him without using the power of military soul, he could barely hold on. After all, he was a man who had experienced countless bloody battles. His strength was solid and his internal energy was at the peak. He only needed a chance to break through and his internal energy could leave his body.
As for Zhang Xiu, he didn't dare to fight with his uncle, so Zhang Ji had never fought with a real fierce general. He thought that only Hua Xiong could use internal energy.
“Poof~”
The phoenix-wing gilded drill pierced through his armor and penetrated his chest. In just a moment he was seriously injured.
The Xiliang cavalrymen around him fought desperately to rescue him, and this time they managed to get Zhang Ji away from Yuwen Chengdu.
"uncle!"
Zhang Xiu, who was watching from afar, immediately had bloodshot eyes. The uncle whom he treated like his own son was actually injured by Yuwen Chengdu.
Li Jue and others' faces also changed drastically. That was their comrade-in-arms for decades, who could block knives for each other and was a close friend like a brother.
A red flame appeared on Zhang Xiu's body, followed by a blue flame. The two auras, one red and one blue, swirled and collided with each other, leaving behind a mysterious purple.
Zhang Xiu had no time to be happy. The fusion problem that had troubled him in the past was completely solved at this moment. His own combat power was enough to face Lu Bu, the strongest general in the world.
Zhang Xiu watched Yuwen Chengdu getting closer and closer to Zhang Ji, and without any consideration of anything else, he ran madly towards Zhang Ji.
“Ahhhhh, damn it, damn it, damn it!”
In a hurry, Zhang Xiu didn't care about any taboos. He held the gun in one hand and pressed various important acupoints on his body one after another.
"Open it for me!"
The life-threatening secret technique developed by Tong Yuan was directly released by Zhang Xiu. His uncle and aunt were his only relatives, and he absolutely could not sit idly by and watch his uncle die in front of him.
In an instant, Zhang Xiu broke through the cloud's blockade of his internal energy, and purple internal energy burst out of his body like crazy.
The moment his internal energy gushed out, Zhang Xiu's fighting power returned to normal levels, and was even a little stronger than before.
Zhang Xiu flew towards Yuwen Chengdu. At this moment, he actually learned to fly without any instruction. It had nothing to do with any secret technique. It was as if it was an instinct of his body.
Yuwen Chengdu turned around and was ready for battle. Zhang Ji was just a man with internal energy. If it weren't for the suppression of the cloud energy, he would have killed him instantly. Now he could only let Zhang Ji live a little longer, but Zhang Xiu who flew over made him feel a great threat.
It would be fine if there was no cloud energy , it would just be the troublesome internal energy leaving the body. But now the cloud energy is tightly restricting his internal energy, but Zhang Xiu's internal energy is rising, he may really not be Zhang Xiu's opponent.
Zhang Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw his uncle was out of danger, then he rushed towards Yuwen Chengdu with a flash of his eyes.
Hurting his uncle was undoubtedly tantamount to revenge for killing his father. How could he let Yuwen Chengdu go?
"Die!"
Zhang Xiu displayed his unique skill "A Hundred Phoenixes Coming to the Court" without any hesitation.
As Zhang Xiu fired his spear faster than the last, phoenixes flew out from the tip of his spear. The flying phoenixes turned into fire lines and bombarded Yuwen Chengdu with crazy roars.
A Hundred Phoenixes Coming to Pay Homage is a skill he developed based on his master's unique skills. Although he is scolded by Tong Yuan every day, he is still quite satisfied .
Completely different from his master Tong Yuan's approach, each phoenix contains his internal energy, and is then forged by absorbing the internal energy between heaven and earth.
The Phoenix is full of instability, and it is possible that it will explode if it encounters anything.
But Zhang Xiu didn't care. Explosions were good. As long as he could fire it before the explosion, it was none of his business if it killed others. Naturally, the more powerful the explosion was, the better.
Art is explosion! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Yuwen Chengdu's phoenix-wing gilded drill flew up and down. He liked Zhang Xiu's move very much, but it was a bit depressing to take such an attack head-on.
Yuwen Chengdu wanted to avoid it, but the surrounding Xiliang cavalry would not give him such a chance. Several weapons blocked his body. He fought them all off with his backhand, but he was blocked for a moment after all. Now he had no way to avoid it.
Having missed the best time to dodge, Yuwen Chengdu could only bite the bullet and take Zhang Xiu's Hundred Phoenixes Coming to Pay Homage.
