Chapter 50: First to Ascend
"Go left. Our mission is to open a gap. Don't get entangled with these stupid guys here."
Guo Hao reluctantly changed the target of the assault corps. It was not that our army did not try hard, but the other side had Gundam.
Why would there be tens of thousands of Imperial Guards? Even the Yulin Guards, which have been passed down for hundreds of years, only have a mere four thousand.
Noon is approaching. Although we can have a burst of momentum at noon, the downhill road will begin after noon.
No matter how invincible the legionnaires are now, their morale will decline faster after a while. The feeling of becoming powerless little by little is almost like drowning.
"It was almost there." Huangfu Song's tone was full of regret and a little relief.
No one wants to see a completely invincible legion appear. As the commander of a large legion, he has ten thousand ways .
But the same cannot be said for the Legion of Miracles, as that is a miracle that only occurs once in a thousand years, and it is best if there is no such unstable factor.
"The first ones will prepare to smash the enemy's defense line for the second time. Feixiong and Yulinwei will prepare to break in from the east and west." Huangfu Song, who had put his mind at ease, began his own command.
Guo Hao's outburst was beyond his expectations. The original plan was a bit conservative. With the advantage played by the Sun Legion, he could get more.
At noon, Guo Hao led his troops to launch the most powerful attack. A three-legged golden crow flashing with golden light flew out. All the Yellow Turbans covered by it were not even able to scream, and were directly evaporated by the high temperature.
After delivering the ultimate blow, Guo Hao immediately began to retreat with his troops.
Guo Hao evacuated Julu with an intact 3,000-strong commando team. Many of the soldiers had their internal organs shattered, and they were only able to survive thanks to his talent. He didn't know what would happen after his talent was removed, but he still led everyone to evacuate the city.
The talent was released, and a series of sounds were heard immediately.
“Plop… plop…”
One by one, the soldiers of the assault legion fell down and never stood up again.
The remaining soldiers all had sad expressions on their faces. They had finally gained invincible power and achieved brilliant results, but they did not live to enjoy the victory.
The general died immediately in the battle. Every soldier on the battlefield had already been prepared. Everyone was sad for a moment, then they carried the dead soldier on their backs and continued to retreat towards the Han army camp.
The Solar Legion had just blossomed with unparalleled brilliance, with all its members having broken through the threshold of the Royal Guards. The next step was to polish their basics, and they were almost certain to be promoted to the Royal Guards. However, after only one battle, although no one died on the battlefield, nearly half of them were no longer alive.
The soldiers of the Sun Legion on the battlefield will not be injured, and even if they are injured it will not show it. Even if their internal organs are shattered they can still live on. But the moment their talent is withdrawn, all the injuries will accumulate and explode, and even the strongest soldiers will die.
After letting the soldiers of the Sun Legion retreat to the camp to recuperate, Guo Hao rode his horse to the command platform .
"General, I have fulfilled my mission." Guo Hao bowed and silently retreated to the side to observe Huangfu Song's command. There were not many opportunities to observe the command of a large army at close range, and this was the purpose of him dragging his exhausted body here.
"Pengju did a good job, let's hand it over to others next!" Huangfu Song praised Guo Hao verbally, but seeing that Guo Hao looked tired, he didn't say anything more .
As they were speaking, Qu Yi's vanguard had already reached the city wall and began to display their unparalleled glory.
Row after row of arrows poured down from the city walls. The fierce firepower allowed the Han army to gain a firm foothold on the city walls. The east and west gates were suppressed by Fei Xiong and Yulin Guards, and they couldn't even raise their heads. Not to mention support, they could hardly protect themselves.
With the Yellow Turban warriors sitting motionless near the altar, the Yellow Turbans could only risk their lives to delay the Han army's offensive.
The Yellow Turban players even received a nine-star mission from several generals - a race against time. The reward was even to be accepted as Zhang Jue's personal disciple, which would allow them to become second only to Zhang Jue and above everyone else.
However, it is obvious that high rewards mean high risks, and the players on the Yellow Turban side could not find a way to break the offensive of the three major guards.
The endless amount of air arrows fired by Xiandeng made the Yellow Turbans in the city become hunted prey.
Once someone tried to call on the Yellow Turbans to form a defense line, the first to ascend would be washed by a wall of arrows. Except for the top-notch generals, no one else could survive such an intensive attack.
Qu Yi sneered as he watched the Yellow Turban generals trying to reorganize the defense line that was shattered by Guo Hao. He manually channeled the energy of humanity into the crossbow and led hundreds of vanguards to aim at Zhang Bao who was organizing the defense line.
"Looking for death!" With a command from Qu Yi, hundreds of crossbow arrows condensed from the energy of humanity were aimed at the vital points of Zhang Bao's body.
The qi arrows fired by the vanguard came towards Zhang Bao like a surging wave. Facing the huge crisis, Zhang Bao lost his mind and was even a little flustered for a moment.
"General Digong, run!" Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and several other Yellow Turban generals rushed out and forcibly saved Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao came to his senses and couldn't help but get angry out of shame. The shame of being frightened made Zhang Bao lose his mind.
He led the generals around him and led a counterattack. He took out a book from his arms and threw it into the air. The book shone brightly in the air, and a khaki protective light appeared on the bodies of Zhang Bao and others.
"Ridiculous!" Qu Yi laughed even colder. In his eyes, Zhang Bao's choice was a reflection of overestimating one's own abilities.
In Qu Yi's view, personal bravery is always inferior, and only a strong army is the kingly way.
The air arrows landed on Zhang Bao and the others, creating ripples, as if they could not cause any harm.
"Divide into groups of 100, prepare the physical arrows, and concentrate fire with a rain of arrows!" Qu Yi understood that conventional attacks would be meaningless against Zhang Bao, so he began to mobilize the troops and prepare to give Zhang Bao a surprise.
Dense arrows kept shooting at Zhang Bao and the others. In a short distance of one thousand meters, the vanguards shot at least tens of thousands of arrows. Even the protective light on Zhang Bao and the others became dim, as if it would break at any time.
"They've caught up!" Qu Yi laughed loudly, looking at the Yellow Turban generals who were less than fifty steps away from them with an extremely arrogant expression as if he had won.
"boom!"
"The first to ascend is the arrow that cannot be defeated."
Fifteen hundred human figures emerged from the bodies of the first soldiers, condensed into a huge crossbow arrow in the air, and then flashed through the air at an unobservable speed, completely piercing through all the Yellow Turbans.
