Chapter 174: Military Spirit Arrives First
"Hehe, Bai Ma, I will make sure you never come back!"
Qu Yi was frantically pulling at the clouds. It depends on how the light cavalry marches into the formation. What Zhang He did is not called marching into the formation, but courting death.
Qu Yi didn't understand why Zhang Junyi on the opposite side was so stupid. The most outstanding advantage of the white horse was its speed. He gave up its greatest advantage and used its weakest defense to attack the formation. Qu Yi didn't know what to say.
Even if they are not facing the vanguard, the Sun Cavalry can still defeat the White Horses head-on. Eight thousand white horses may sound like a lot, but aren't most of them elite soldiers with single and double talents?
A cloud arrow like a wall shot out, and from the moment it was shot out, it shot towards the white horse without a sound.
An arrow pierced through the white horse and then through the chest of the Baima Yicong. The terrifying power directly created a huge hole in the body of the Baima Yicong. This is the power of the unlimited crossbow.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
No matter how agile the white horse was, it could not avoid the cloud arrows that were like a wall. One arrow would pass through its body and create a hole the size of a bowl. Unless its internal energy left its body, it would not be able to survive.
The soldier who was rushing in the front was shot to death on the spot, and he could hardly even let out a scream. He was almost instantly riddled with holes in the cloud arrows.
No matter whether the one that was hit was a double-talented white horse or a royal guards white horse, it would be riddled with holes by the cloud arrows.
To be honest, only the Baima Yicong are so fragile. Even if they were replaced by the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, they would not have suffered such heavy damage from the Cloud Arrows.
If it were the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry at the level of the Imperial Guards could easily use their faces to catch the cloud arrows, and then kill the vanguard under the rain of arrows.
There is an invisible restraint between each legion. The first to ascend defeats the white horse, the iron cavalry defeats the first to ascend, and as for the wolf cavalry, they are not afraid of anyone. The omnipotent is so willful.
Although restraint does not mean that the opponent is completely invincible, when this restraint is infinitely magnified, the effect it brings is extremely terrifying.
"Charge! Charge!" Hundreds of soldiers were taken away by the White Horse wave. Zhang He was so anxious that his eyes were bulging. According to the speed of the Xiandeng death squad, these 8,000 White Horse volunteers would not be able to kill Guo Hao, and it was even doubtful whether they could withdraw.
Zhang He's judgment was correct. The most taboo thing for light cavalry in battle formation is to be afraid of losses. If he ordered a retreat and bypass, it would only make the Baima Yicong die faster.
However, that was when facing conventional archers.
Zhang He had never led the Imperial Guards before, and he had no idea what they represented. What's more, he was facing the Xiandeng who were the most powerful against the White Horses.
"The first to die, live in the face of death!" Qu Yi shouted loudly with his sword and shield in hand, and unleashed the ultimate move of the first to die.
At this moment, strands of red silk threads bloomed from the bodies of all the first-line warriors and then wrapped around the heavy crossbow.
"kill!"
The Baima Yicong had already rushed to the front of the vanguard. Without the help of internal energy, Qu Yi could clearly see the beads of sweat on the faces of the Baima Yicong soldiers.
The scarlet silk thread was wrapped around the heavy crossbow, and then turned into a crossbow arrow. The combination of qi and spirit made Xiandeng's arrow destined to be extraordinary.
With a slight string sound, thousands of scarlet crossbow arrows were shot out. This was Xiandeng's ultimate move, and also Xiandeng's final blow to Bai Ma.
Use your own physical strength as a sacrifice, attach your own will to the cloud arrow, and let the damage of the cloud arrow reach the sky.
And it was not a single shot, more than five digit arrows gathered into a torrent filled with blood.
The rain of arrows like a bloody torrent engulfed all the White Horse Volunteers in front of them. In the face of the five-digit powerful crossbow rain of arrows, the number of the White Horse Volunteers lost all meaning.
Almost instantly, only a blood mist remained in front of the first batch of assassins.
Guo Hao and Chen Xi, who were watching the battlefield, fell into silence. Nearly five thousand White Horse Volunteers were reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye, and the only trace left in the world was a cloud of blood mist.
The terrifying power was unbelievable to Qu Yi himself. It was the first time that he truly tested Xiandeng's ultimate move on the battlefield. Even though the opponent was the ridiculously fragile Baima Yicong, the effect was still too terrifying.
Without any extra words, Zhang He, who had escaped the disaster by lying on the ground, fled in panic with the remaining White Horse Volunteers.
They couldn’t win, they couldn’t win. The horrific scene of most of the White Horse Guards being killed in one blow and turned into a bloody mist caused psychological trauma to the remaining ones.
Even Zhang He was filled with fear at this moment. He didn't understand why things turned out like this. How come there were less than two thousand of the eight thousand White Horse Volunteers left?
Qu Yi watched the Baima Yicong escape. He wanted to kill them all, but the distance was too far.
In fact, it was only a distance of a few hundred steps, but by the time he fired the crossbow, the Baima Yicong had already run to the other side of the horizon.
The White Horse Volunteers who were escaping were simply the best in the world. Qu Yi was just shocked for a moment, and the White Horse Volunteers had already disappeared without a trace.
"Chase……"
The vanguard soldiers who were originally standing in place fell limply to the ground. The previous move had already drained them of their strength. Seeing the Baima Yicong disappear, they could no longer continue.
"Forget it, winning is enough!" Qu Yi smiled bitterly. Only then did he realize that his whole body was hollowed out.
A faint glow enveloped the first soldiers to die, and Qu Yi knew that the military spirit had been established.
The escape of the White Horse Volunteers allowed the Imperial Will to determine the outcome. Although Guo Hao didn't know how the Imperial Will did it, he knew that the first to ascend had become the soul of the army.
Guo Hao touched the top of his head in a somewhat strange way. He felt as if something was hanging on him, and he felt that there were about four such things.
"Yu Lin, Xian Zhen, Fei Xiong, and Xian Deng?" Guo Hao thought while stroking his chin.
He felt that the four things hanging with him were a winged bear, a winged gun, a sword and shield leaning against each other, and a blood-stained heavy crossbow.
He couldn't help but glance at the personal guards beside him - the Sun Knights, and wanted to upgrade them.
He tried to use the same feeling to connect with Sun Knight, but found that it was impossible.
"Is the will of the Yellow Turban Empire so strong? Can it spare two spots for military souls?" Guo Hao was a little confused. For a moment, he could n't what the military soul was.
"Wait! The Northern Huns!" Guo Hao thought of an empire he had overlooked - the Hun Empire.
Although the Northern Huns are now being chased everywhere by the Han Empire, it cannot be ignored that the Huns were once a powerful empire.
"An empire should have two military soul quotas. Destroying the Xiongnu Empire gives us one more quota? Destroying the Yellow Turbans gives us another quota? So, the Northern Xiongnu also has a Military Soul Corps?" Guo Hao narrowed his eyes and realized that things were not simple.
The Northern Huns are indeed the biggest enemy of the Han Empire. They have not been completely wiped out after hundreds of years and still have some powerful cards in their possession.
"Zichuan, after this battle, I'm afraid we have to speed up our development!" Guo Hao turned his head and said solemnly to Chen Xi.
"Ah?" Chen Xi was immersed in the terror of Xiandeng and did not react for a moment.
"I'm afraid the Japanese area is not as simple as I thought!" Guo Hao's heart was shrouded in a shadow.
The strength of each civilization region was initially balanced by the system on the same level. Although it was impossible to force the East Japan region and the Chinese region to be equal, Guo Hao estimated that the East Japan region must be at least as strong as the Northern Huns, or even stronger.
Bai Xiaosheng said on the forum that the unification of the Japanese region is just one step away, and he is also speeding up the pace.
We can lose to anyone but not to the Japanese region.
Qu Yi was studying his new state. Just as he thought, the military soul had unlimited physical strength, but not completely unlimited physical strength.
It's nothing more than exchanging the power of the military soul for physical strength, which is far from the so-called infinity, but at least it increases the physical strength several times, which is simply the most suitable for the vanguard.
"Resisting death, super physical strength... gone?" Qu Yi was horrified to find that his military soul seemed to be a defective product.
After Fei Xiong became the military soul, his ultimate move was gravity control, which was several times stronger than when he was in the Imperial Guard.
After becoming the Army Soul, the ultimate move of the Army Soul is to strengthen the collective strength. Do you know how terrifying it is when the internal energy of all members is condensed into a Gang? It is true that the time is very short, but it is also great to launch a burst of attacks.
"One man, one job. Yu Lin, Fei Xiong and Xian Zhen have taken up three complete positions. Mine should be the position of the Yellow Turban Empire's will!" The corner of Qu Yi's mouth twitched. He had the military spirit but not the complete one.
But fortunately, the first thing he lacked was physical strength, and he didn't care much about the other things.
Anyway, the damage is explosive when facing the opponent, and there is no shortage of so-called military soul skills, so if you don’t have them, then don’t have them.
Yang Lin on the other side was already furious. Ordinary soldiers couldn't see it, but as a commander he had to monitor the battlefield at all times using secret techniques, so how could he not see the miserable situation of Bai Ma.
He was really in a dilemma at this moment. He only had two choices now: fight or run away. However, he did not have the confidence to face the terrifying Xiandeng head-on.
"No, such a terrifying attack must consume a lot of energy!" Just when Yang Lin was in trouble, an idea flashed in his mind.
Although he had never led any guards or military souls, that devastating attack would definitely be accompanied by terrible consumption, and he didn't believe that the vanguard could attack continuously.
"Speed up the march, victory is at hand!" Yang Lin cheered up and mobilized the clouds more attentively to speed up the troops' march.
It was true that Qu Yi was unable to launch another terrifying attack. It was true that he had been promoted to a military soul, but he had just been promoted to a military soul and did not have much military soul power at all.
If Qu Yi launched the same attack again, Xian Deng might be kicked out of the ranks of military souls.
"General, shall we retreat?" Qu Yi returned to Guo Hao and suggested. He had already noticed Yang Lin in the distance.
Guo Hao looked around. The corrupt front army and the entangled left and right wings made it seem like he had nowhere to run.
"The commander's flag is the courage of the army. How can we retreat so easily? Let's hold on and wait for reinforcements!"
Guo Hao finally rejected Qu Yi's suggestion. Behind him was the general's flag, and any movement of this flag might cause a devastating blow to the several legions that were currently fighting.
"Defend with all your strength! Anyone who retreats will be killed!"
Following Guo Hao's decisive order, the Sun Cavalry passed the vanguard and began to form a new line of defense.
Qu Yi mobilized the power of the military soul to restore some of the physical strength of the vanguard. Although he could not use his ultimate move, he could still shoot arrows.
In order to save energy, the vanguards all switched to physical arrows, saving as much energy as possible.
Next, it will depend on which side moves faster, whether Yang Lin's troops will break through the Sun Cavalry's defense line first, or whether Fei Xiong and Xian Zhen will break through the entanglement between the armored soldiers and the troops on both wings.
The players who were originally thrown aside by Guo Hao began to whisper . They basically witnessed the entire battle, and the current situation was clear to them.
"What should we do? Should we go and help?" a player asked.
"We'll just be delivering food if we go there, right?" the player on the other side said pessimistically.
Anyone who saw the devastating blow dealt to Xiandeng would have doubts.
"We are not fighting with the vanguard. We are on the same team with the vanguard. Let's go and help stop the alliance army!" said the player who spoke first.
"Depend on us?" The players watching the battle couldn't help but look back at the pitifully small number of troops on hand.
They are all Yellow Turban players. They fled into the mountains and ruled the mountains as kings. When the imperial court issued a general amnesty, they ran out happily to curry favor with the emperor.
They did achieve considerable results at the beginning, but after the coalition forces finished their training, they were defeated in a few moves.
Now, among the players who are still alive and gathered under Guo Hao's command, each of them has no more than a hundred troops, and their combat effectiveness is average and their talents are elite. It is probably not realistic to rely on them to stop Yang Lin.
"Everyone, listen to me!" A player stood up and shouted loudly.
The players also looked at him out of respect. This player had performed very well when harassing the Alliance before, and everyone was willing to listen to what he had to say.
"My name is Zhang Xing! I believe you brothers know me a little bit." Zhang Xing said confidently. His strength is top-notch among this group of players, so he is so confident.
"I guess you all don't have many troops, but don't forget why we are here! We are here to earn merit!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, the coalition forces will lose this battle. We won't have any place to gain merits then. If we don't take a chance now, when will we?"
Zhang Xing's impassioned speech made all the players finally remember their original intention of participating in the battle, which was to gain merit.
The princes players had long been envious of the historical generals in their hands, but during the first epic event, their Yellow Turban camp was defeated, so their development was much slower than that of the princes players.
What kind of generals are around the princes players? What kind of generals are around them?
It can be said that if they had an outstanding general, they would not have fallen to the point of occupying a mountain and becoming a king.
"Damn it, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. I'll do it!" A player thought for a while and stood up angrily. His last merit was just a little short of the recruitment order in the store, and this time it was still just a little short.
If he missed this opportunity, he would probably have to do nothing for a while.
Zhang Xing smiled with satisfaction. He was not some Yellow Turban player, but a real Han Dynasty player who used to make a living under Dong Zhuo.
