The dark clouds of war had already enveloped the entire continent!
While it was different from the plan, Ling Tian was not afraid! If not for his dragon robe, Ling Tian would have already led the troops personally …
However, the moment the situation reached the final juncture, even if Ling Tian was unwilling to lead the troops personally, he had no choice! Because if Yu ManLou were to take action, Ling Tian would have to accept the challenge!

The heavy snow continued to fall endlessly. The heavens seemed to have gone crazy. The accumulated snow on the ground was almost half the height of a person. The sky was still covered with dark clouds, and the snowflakes were still falling down at a steady pace!
Many of the tall pine trees in the forest let out a series of creaking sounds. Their thick and sturdy branches were finally unable to bear the burden and were mercilessly crushed by this never-before-seen heavy snow ….
The timing of the war between the two empires was not only unprecedented, but the way it unfolded was also close to insanity!
In the direction of Yan County, the 500,000 men of Tamago's three armies were all pressing forward and they were only a few arrows away from the Divine Prefecture Empire's camp!
This was an extremely awkward distance! An extremely subtle distance!
Of course, this was also a distance that required a lot of knowledge on the battlefield!
Thus, it naturally became the most uncomfortable distance for the Divine Prefecture Empire's army!
Arrows could not be shot but horses could arrive in an instant.
If they were to take the initiative to attack, they would definitely be at a disadvantage in such weather! But if they were to only defend, the enemy would be able to attack at any time and they would be too passive. After all, the enemy would only need a few breaths of time to clash with them!
He couldn't attack, nor could he defend!
Of course, the situation that Tamago's army was facing was the same as the Divine Prefecture Empire's army! However, this situation was purposely created by Tamago.
Since they did so, they definitely had a motive! To a large extent, Tamago's goal this time was to take revenge, to pay the price of blood. This time, Tamago was determined to take revenge. So what if some of the lower level cannon fodder died? He wanted the soldiers of the Divine Prefecture Empire to be buried with his descendants!
This was also what the general of the Divine Prefecture Empire was most worried about. Tamago was willing to sacrifice the lives of their soldiers, but they were not.
In this situation, the three commanders of the Divine Prefecture Empire adopted different methods to deal with it. Yu YanHai, who was the most experienced and prudent among them, chose to bide his time and strengthen his guard. At the same time, he hid himself at the forefront of his camp and used a day to dig out countless vicious traps. Then, they retreated a mile and continued to observe.
In this way, the troops had time to rest. They didn't have to keep their eyes open like before. Although they were still vigilant, the soldiers who were resting in shifts could finally close their eyes and have a good sleep. They didn't have to worry about losing their heads in their sleep. Even if the traps in front were filled up by Tamago, there was no need to be afraid. At most, they could just continue digging. Although it was a little passive, this method was undoubtedly the best way to ensure the lives of the soldiers!
Shen RuHu also chose to bide his time. However, he divided the most powerful archers into three groups and arranged them to be on duty at the two wings. He also used the snow and some thick trees to build a high platform. Looking down from above, the front of the formation was impenetrable. It could be said that under such a dense rain of arrows, even a mosquito would not be able to fly in.
On the other hand, DongFang JingLei's troops from Eastern Zhao didn't have such patience. Over the past few days, they had already started to fight. They would either take the initiative to attack or defend passively. Even if there was a break in the battle, there would still be the sound of the bugle horn and the earth-shaking beating of the drums. This caused the Yu Family army to not dare to relax and in just a few short days, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from both sides were completely exhausted. Due to the Yu Family fighting with their lives on the line, the Yu Family managed to gain the upper hand. However, the price of this upper hand was not cheap and the Yu Family suffered at least 10,000 more casualties than the Thunderclap Tribe.
On the western battlefront, Xiao FengYang's army was facing off against XiMen Sa. These two genius commanders, one old and one young, were about to face off. However, the outcome was completely out of Xiao FengYang's expectations.
With Ling Tian as an example, Xiao FengYang was extremely wary of this young genius commander who was on par with Ling Tian. He didn't dare to underestimate him in the slightest! Ling Tian was already so powerful. Since XiMen Sa was on par with him, then even if he wasn't as strong as Ling Tian, he wouldn't be too far off! Even if XiMen Sa only had half of Ling Tian's strength, he still couldn't be underestimated!
Furthermore, this was the first battle he would be representing the Xiao family in the Divine Prefecture Empire. Regardless of whether it was the overall situation or the family, this battle was extremely important. He definitely couldn't afford to lose it.
With the pressure in his heart, the moment Xiao FengYang stepped onto the battlefield and began his battle with XiMen Sa, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
It wasn't that this legendary genius was too outstanding or too difficult to deal with, but that he was too easy to deal with!
So easy that it was shocking, and so easy that it felt like a trap!
This battle, Xiao FengYang felt that this was the most satisfying battle he had ever fought in his life. In his opinion, this young commander, XiMen Sa, was simply too stupid! No matter what kind of scheme, no matter what kind of scheme it was, it would all be dealt with by him. In his eyes, it was just like a child's play. XiMen Sa's consecutive sneak attacks were all seen through by Xiao FengYang, and he was the one who suffered losses. Every time, he would be forced to flee. If it wasn't for him being overly cautious, the outcome would not have been so simple!
He truly lived up to his name! Xiao FengYang was extremely pleased with himself, but at the same time, he couldn't help but curse inwardly. This kind of trash was actually worthy of being called a 'young talent'? How could he be on the same level as Ling Tian?! If that was the case, wasn't the title of 'young talent' a little too worthless? This was simply making this old man laugh until his teeth fell out!
What Xiao FengYang didn't know was how difficult it was for XiMen Sa to achieve such a feat! The amount of effort he had put in was at least ten times more than Xiao FengYang!
Firstly, he had to come up with a strategic plan. He had to make sure that his army was on the losing side and that the other generals wouldn't be able to say anything or suspect anything. Secondly, he had to consider whether Xiao FengYang would be able to guess it. If Xiao FengYang wasn't able to guess it, then wouldn't it become real?
Every time, XiMen Sa had to rack his brains to create a losing battle. However, he had to make sure that it was a flawless failure. Every time he came up with a plan, he had to make sure that all his generals agreed to it …
In XiMen Sa's mind, fighting a war like this was simply too painful. Trembling with fear, racking his brains, and there was even one time when Xiao FengYang didn't guess his intentions and went in the wrong direction. XiMen Sa then realized that something was wrong and decided to act as though everyone was an enemy and retreat. The most infuriating thing was that even when his army was being completely defeated, Xiao FengYang didn't dare to give chase and allowed the other side to regroup …
What the heck was this! He really wondered how he had managed to obtain the title of being a great military strategist!
XiMen Sa sat in his commander's tent and sighed. The other Tamago generals under him had already been won over by the charisma of this invincible commander. They all tried to console him. "Commander, victory and defeat are common in war. Being careful and prudent is the most important responsibility of a commander. You don't have to take it to heart!"
XiMen Sa was speechless.
I really don't want to take it to heart, but … is it alright if I don't take it to heart? The moment I win against my own army, how am I going to live my life in the future? Even if the young noble can understand me, there are still over fifty people staring at me. I … I … I'm in a difficult position.
So, it was actually so difficult to seek defeat? Don't I just want to be like XiMen Qiubai? It's really too difficult. Xiao FengYang dares to claim to be a great military strategist? Pui!
From afar, the shouts of Xiao FengYang's army could be heard. "XiMen Sa is a scum! You don't know how to lead troops, you don't know how to fight, and you only know how to crawl back with your tail between your legs. What an idiot! What a scum! "
XiMen Sa let out a groan. Oh my god! Even I don't have the face to scold him, but he actually has the face to scold me!
To use a phrase that the young noble often used, this is really … f * * *!
"Commander! This general requests to go into battle immediately! Teach Xiao FengYang a lesson! "One of the generals couldn't hold it in any longer and stood up angrily. "He's going too far! He's too arrogant!"
"Let me think about it carefully and come up with a foolproof plan." XiMen Sa rubbed his head and began to think of a plan that would definitely fail …
None of the subordinates of XiMen Sa doubted this young commander. This was because they had experienced too many surprises in the past, and they believed that this time would be no exception!
As for Ling Feng, Ling Yun, and Feng Mo's side, they were already in a life and death situation.
This army was the place where all the hatred of the Yu Family was concentrated. To the Yu Family, this was the army that they had to kill no matter what! The four armies had each sent out 20,000 elites to surround and annihilate the enemy. Among them, there were over a hundred experts from Tamago's headquarters! Among these people, the weakest was at the White Jade level. As for the Gold Jade level experts, there were more than ten of them. Among them, there were even two Gold Jade middle level experts. These two people's strength was comparable to Ling Feng and Ling Yun.
In the history of the battlefield, Tamago had never sent out such a luxurious army.
This time, Ling Feng, Ling Yun, and Feng Mo could be said to have really touched the tiger's butt and poked the hornet's nest. A total of 37 leaders of Tamago had died, causing the hearts of these old fellows to turn red. The moment Tamago's army arrived at the foot of the mountain, they immediately launched an all-out attack. The ferocity of their attacks caused even Feng Mo, a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time, to be tongue-tied.
Wave after wave of concentrated attacks did not stop at all. After the first wave was defeated, the next wave was replaced with fresh troops. Every single one of them was gnashing their teeth in anger. Behind them, there were also hundreds of axemen and archers acting as supervisors. Once anyone retreated or tried to escape, they would immediately kill them on the spot!
