Chapter 54: Broken Army
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
"Many thanks, brother Xiao, for letting me, the fox, exploit the tiger's might!"
After leaving the camp, Wu Ming cupped his hands.
"You're my brother, what kind words to say!"
Xiao Jidu also smiled.
In terms of grade, he is also in 9th Grade which is worse than Wu Ming but sometimes, it is not so.
Xiao Jidu was also a member of the Tooth General and served Commander Liu Jie day and night. He had a close relationship and is extremely trustworthy.
And Liu Jie is the boss of Xie Mountain, Jin Guang's boss. The difference between two grades and four levels between the two is as big as a chasm.
If he provokes Xiao Jidu, putting eyedrops from time to time will be troublesome
"It's just that this person seems to hate you. Would you like me to help you operate in another place?" Xiao Jidu asked in a low voice.
"No!"
Recalling the scene of the meeting just now, Wu Ming also smiled coldly.
Where does official luck come from? One part comes as a gift from the institutions and another part comes from the subordinates' contribution.
He just saw the battle camp's atmosphere right now, it was just average.
Even as a direct supervisor, he had to separate a share and absorb by himself every day.
But he had dao technique for self-defense, capable of locking luck, and did not have to pay any tax!
Under Qi induction, this person doesn't look good, it is too normal!
But if the situation continues… there are a hundred people in Jin Gang's camp and if half is lost and cannot be added, as well as time to digest, the luck will be corrupted after a long time.
In other words, sooner or later, this person will be unlucky and it will be his opportunity.
……
The imperial army arrived at the borders but Li Rubi was not a man who waited for his death, waiting for the state soldiers and prefecture soldiers to assemble. Instead, he took the initiative to attack Zhending County [1] with Xie Mountain, Split Mountain, and Fury Mountain.
This county is the gateway to the state's city. Once it's captured, there will be no obstacles to Caozhou.
"Quick! Keep up and don't fall behind!"
The army marched forward, Wu Ming looked at the flags which seemed to cover the sky and the densely packed army. His eyes flashed in another color: "It is indeed a good time, the imperial generals have not arrived. In fact, if the state city is captured, then the state can be segregated, the political climate will change and he can officially be king! … Of course, Li Rubi is also distressed in the use of soldiers, otherwise, he wouldn't send the Xie Mountain's troops who are in charge of recruits…"
At this point, Xie Mountain, Split Mountain, and Fury Mountain were all together and there were more than 5000 people. It was really boundless and the momentum was like a hot knife cutting through butter. Several counties fell without a fight until they reached the plains outside Zhending County, preparing for battle.
Wu Ming opened his spiritual eyes and saw black and red qi from the army soaring to the sky. The opposite army also gathered and the corner of his eyes jumped.
'Rumors have it that the defender of this city is Cao Du, nephew of the Province Governor. He is brave but has an irritable temper. Although there are also 5000 state soldiers…'
"Report!"
At this time, Zhong Ting came over and said: "All commanders have summoned the Guard Generals and Battalion Leaders to discuss. This is the Battalion Leader's warrant!"
He immediately handed a scroll to Wu Ming.
Wu Ming hurriedly opened the scroll and then sneered: "Let me be the vanguard? Sure enough, the wolf's ambition is not concealed!"
Soldiers are fierce and the battles are dangerous. After a battle, the vanguard loses about 30% to 50%.
And disobedience is even more impossible, the military law will directly cut him.
"Squadron Leader, what do we do?"
At this time, Zhong Ting and Wu Ming were bound together for good and for ill. If one suffers, everyone suffers so he was worried.
"Just follow the order, Squadron Leader assures you that nothing will happen this time. On the contrary, it is possible to add more officials into our ranks!"
He had seen Jin Gang's luck this morning, and it was already covered in dark clouds, shaken into its foundations.
In other words, there is always a basis for the occurrence of luck qi and it doesn't happen overnight; only enlarging or reducing a certain possibility to the limit.
For example, Zhong Ting, Niu Yong, and He Zihai were people with a lot of money and as such, are less likely to encounter misfortune than a small soldier.
Wu Ming, by relying on them, can take advantage of their aura to protect himself.
However, Jin Gang himself had bad luck. If he hid in a cellar, everything would be fine and perhaps a ray of life would appear. But now that he is on the battlefield, what is it besides killing himself?
……
"Shu Zi'an dares to insult me in this way?"
At the same time, at the top of the city, Cao Du looked at the women's clothes sent by the rebel army. Although he knew that it was a provocation, he was still furious looking at these three corpses: "Come on! Give me some troops and go out for a showdown!"
"No!"
A scribe next to him, his mastermind, quickly persuaded: "Province Governor's order is for the lord to defend the Prefecture City until General Wang Xuafan arrives. This person is rumored to be the true Martial Song destined one. The six thousand tigers and wolves under his command are enough to quell the rebellion. When the time comes, the lord will receive major merits…"
Under normal circumstances, Cao Du would endure it but looking at the colorful piles of clothes with the smell of women's powder, the anger in his heart spiraled out of control: "Get out of here! If I don't kill this dog today, I'm not a man!"
As soon as he shook his hand, the plotter slammed his forehead against the bricks of the wall and blood poured like a fountain.
"Do we not wait?"
Seeing the confidant and the lord like this, the generals underneath did not dare to violate it.
After a while, the city gate opened wide, and Cao Du personally led the army surging out and lining up in the plains.
"In accordance with Heaven's will, kill the rebels!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
……
Tens of thousands of people confronted each other and the army's blood qi rushed to the sky almost forming dark clouds with a sense of oppression.
"Haha, He Zihai, are you afraid?"
Wu Ming's team is in the vanguard position. Looking up, you can see the long spears on the other side. Zhong Ting, Niu Yong, and several 5-Men Commanders were dignified but He Zihai's face was pale, his whole body was trembling, and could barely stand straight. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Serving the superiors, a worthy death!"
"Very good!"
With this attitude, not only Wu Ming nodded but even Zhong Ting next to him changed his mind, thinking that this scholar, at least, has some backbone.
"But I can assure you that in this war, I wouldn't lose much if I have waited for nothing…"
Wu Ming smiled and looked up.
In the empty sky, two black and red forces rose to the sky, trying to strangle the other.
Even above the battlefield, there were two successive starfields. Mo Ran shone brightly and one after the other, fierce stars flashed too, glowing, hostilely entangling, tempted to kill.
'Although Cao Du's army is weaker, it has the strength to put on a good fight, and…'
Looking at the stars in the opponent's starfield, Wu Ming's eyes moved.
The two armies faced each other for a while until Cao Du couldn't stand it and took the lead.
"Drumming!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dull and penetrating sounds of drums resounded through the audience.
"Go in! Go in! Go in!"
In the opposing formation, the pikemen at the front immediately held up their long spears, and under the urging of their 5-Men Commanders, 10-Men Commanders, and even Squadron Leader.
Ancient orders are inconvenient to convey. Soldiers advancing with the drum and retreating with gold is a death order. If there's a violation, it's a big sin! Military judges can directly behead them!
"Kill!"
Liu Jie and a few commanders looked at them and issued orders.
Among the drums, Wu Ming and others drew out long knives and focused on the spear array in front. There were also archers on both sides who used bows and arrows, their arms were steady, like cast iron.
The two military formations went closer and closer.
Three hundred steps!
Two hundred steps!
One hundred steps!
"Defend!!!"
"Defend!!!"
Finally, with a roar from the general, the bowstring of the archer was loosened, and a rain of arrows was pressed down like a dark cloud.
The archers fired bursts of arrows and after three rounds, no matter strong he was, he had to retreat.
Everyone held their iron-clad wooden heavy shields in their hands and faced the direction of the arrow rain. Only to listen to the sounds of metal colliding and another hapless man hit by an arrow and falling to the ground.
"Kill!"
Both sides braced for the arrow rain, gripping their sharp knives [2], and advanced further, until they suddenly charged.
Peng!
Two torrents of iron and steel slammed together. Martial arts, blood qi, and even luck burned like a blaze and bloomed with utmost brilliance!
"Kill!"
Wu Ming commanded his team, in groups of three, to kill the enemy.
Since they were almost as elite as tooth soldiers, Zhong Ting and Niu Yong are all talented generals. At this time, they still had enough energy to observe the surroundings.
'It's a good military, such a good deadly army qi! Such terrifying bloody light, I'm afraid… that even a Law Master would have his spells greatly discounted?"
Feeling the waves of qi, blood, and deadly aura impacting him, suppressing his Sea of Consciousness's magic, Wu Ming couldn't help sighing inwardly.
He still entered the Nine Mountains' system, and even if he had a spell casting permit, it had become like this. The ordinary Refined Master would probably lose his supernatural powers.
Shouting, screaming, killing but more often than not, the sound of weapons clashing impacted the surroundings.
But Wu Ming was even more aware of something strange.
On both sides of the battlefield, the ground vibrated. Cavalry galloped, horseshoeing on the ground.
"Breaking Army's riders, give it to me!"
Cao Du sat in the middle of the army and gave orders.
A hundred cavalrymen flew out, passing the main formation, and went straight to the Nine Mountains' flank.
"Cavalry attack!"
With an order from Liu Jie, the Nine Mountains Army's cavalry flew out. Two black torrents, roaring along with the battle horses, quickly slammed into each other.
"Breaking Army!"
At this moment, one of Cao Du's riders screamed and a splendid layer of starlight emerged from him.
Weng!
In the open sky, a star twice as big as an ordinary Ominous Star emanating sharps rays of light emerged. The turbulent star power turned into a spear and fell.
Breaking Army Star!
Those who have this fate will be brave generals and will have it easy to manage an army!
"Breaking Army! Breaking Army!"
The cavalry behind him burst into flames one after another, the stars on his body seemed to integrate with the hundreds of cavalrymen and transformed into a terrible spear. The Nine Mountains Army's cavalry was turned into pieces.
"Secondary Broken Army fate? And military divine ability?"
Liu Jie's face was ugly.
The Secondary Star Fate has surpassed the two levels of "Starlight Orbiting Body" and "Star Appearance", and is qualified to compete for the true Breaking Army!
And this man's starlight is strong, at least 10% of the true Breaking Army fate!
"Left-wing listens to me, kill this man at all cost!"
Cold sweat appeared on Liu Jie's back, knowing that if the cavalrymen managed to break the army's flank, and rushed into chaos, it would be an instant big defeat!
