The war had begun.
This combat examination wasn't some friendly competition where one would stop after reaching a certain point. Instead, there were deaths and injuries! Duke Xiaoyao was a trashy commander, but his army was the most elite. Whether it was the 29 Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators or the million-strong army, they were definitely the strongest group of people. These million-strong army had just returned from the battlefield, and they were brimming with killing intent!
With the sound of the horn, the scouts of the three armies were all sent out. Since they could not fly, they ran through the forest at an extremely fast speed to spy on the enemy.
In front of Xiaoyao Hou.
"Commander, thirty thousand soldiers of the Zhong Clan have been found fifty miles to the southeast."
"Send a hundred thousand soldiers to destroy the Zhong Clan!"
"Yes!"
Not long after the hundred thousand soldiers left.
"Commander, a hundred thousand soldiers of the Zhao Clan have been found fifty miles to the southeast!"
"Oh?" Xiaoyao Hou frowned slightly.
In the same direction?
"You two, Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators, go and help my army! Wipe out Zhong and Zhao's armies! "Xiaoyao Hou said.
"Yes!" The two immediately replied.
"Commander, forty thousand soldiers of the Zhong Clan have been found seventy miles to the east."
"Send a hundred thousand soldiers to destroy the Zhong Clan!"
"Yes!"
"Commander, ninety thousand soldiers of the Zhao Clan have been found fifty miles to the east!"
… … …
… … …
… … …
The news was quickly sent to Xiaoyao Hou.
Xiaoyao Hou rubbed his temples and gave out orders in a somewhat chaotic manner.
Xiaoyao Hou was doing the same thing, and Zhao Tian was doing the same thing.
He did not expect the battle to be so chaotic right after it began. The battle between the three armies was too fast! How long had it been? He had actually sent out so many people.
Kill!
Once the battle began, there would be slaughter. Casualties were unavoidable. Unless they surrendered, they could fly and be brought out of the central square by specialized personnel.
In a secluded valley.
In a large hall, Lin Xiao had a battlefield map in front of him. He was constantly rehearsing the battle between the enemy and his army. Shui Wuhen stood to the side and watched carefully, constantly learning.
"Send ten thousand soldiers to this location. Harass them for no more than half an incense stick's worth of time. Then quickly pass through this forest and arrive at this place!" Lin Xiao pointed at the map in front of him with a stick.
"Yes!" The ten messengers took turns to spread the order to the army.
"Alright, I've already arranged for twelve battles. Now, let's wait for a while. Send scouts from all sides and quickly investigate." Lin Xiao said.
"Yes!" the messenger replied immediately.
Shui Wuhen looked at the map of the battlefield in front of her with bewilderment.
"Vice Commander Lin, what are you trying to do?" Shui Wuhen looked at this scene in surprise.
On the map of the battlefield, the three armies were projected with magic, and the scenes of their chaotic battle, and even the situation of their losses. But, but these were all just Lin Xiao's imagination. He judged the situation based on his own inference. Would this work?
"This is the first lesson that the commander taught me back then. Drive the wolf to devour the tiger!" Lin Xiao said.
"Driving the wolf to devour the tiger?" Shui Wuhen frowned. This wasn't a complicated matter, and she knew about it as well.
"As a commander, I calculate the results before the battle begins. According to my plan, we will at most lose one of our twelve armies, and the rest will not suffer any losses. Thus, we will be able to kill two hundred thousand of the enemy! "Lin Xiao said.
"Reporting, the first army did not suffer any losses. Nie and Zhao armies fought, each suffered eight thousand casualties!"
"Reporting, the second army did not suffer any losses. Nie and Zhao armies fought, each suffered six thousand casualties!"
… … …
… … … …
… … …
The news of victory quickly came, and it was exactly as Lin Xiao had predicted.
"Reporting, the ninth army was surrounded by two armies. They were in a situation of certain death. Fei Tian surrendered and was lured out of the battlefield. At the same time, he led the Nie and Zhao armies to fight, and the casualties were disastrous. It is not over yet!"
At daybreak. The first group of people was asked to leave.
The Zhong Family army, twelve thousand people. They surrendered and left.
The onlookers were all surprised. Was the Zhong Family army really so weak without Zhong Shan? In just a short while, twelve thousand people surrendered?
The battle continued quickly. Although the battlefield was a thousand miles in diameter, it was still too small for these cultivators. Moreover, there were more than two million people inside.
At noon, the Zhong Family army surrendered again. This time, thirty-eight thousand people came out.
A total of fifty thousand people stood on the battlefield, and the countless spectators sighed.
These fifty thousand people were too cowardly. How long had it been? They surrendered already? And from the looks of it, they did not suffer any injuries. Were they really scared?
Those who had bet on Zhong Shan to win were all angry.
In the afternoon, Zhao Tian Sha's army finally surrendered. Three thousand people were covered in wounds. Few of them were unharmed. They had no choice but to fly into the sky and admit their surrender. They were sent to the battlefield by the relevant personnel.
Then, four thousand of Xiaoyao Hou's men also came out with wounds.
However, after Xiaoyao Hou's men came out, they all stared angrily at Zhao Tian Sha's subordinates, as if they had no hatred for the Zhong Family army.
Countless pairs of eyes stared at the battlefield. What was going on? How was the battle going inside?
When the number of unharmed surrendered soldiers in the Zhong Family army increased to one hundred thousand, the number of wounded soldiers on the other side also reached eighty to ninety thousand. At this time, the spectators saw something different.
Something was wrong. Why were the surrendered soldiers in the Zhong Family army intact? And Xiaoyao Hou's and Zhao Tian Sha's soldiers were all seriously injured?
When the two Ultimate Emperor Realm experts were carried out, there was another commotion.
Ultimate Emperor Realm. Those two were Ultimate Emperor Realm experts. How could Xiaoyao Hou's subordinates be so badly injured?
In the evening, the battle continued! Countless streaks of light could be seen in the forest. Countless Shield Piercing Arrows were shot in all directions.
On the battlefield.
At Xiaoyao Hou's place.
"How many casualties did we suffer?" Xiaoyao Hou shouted.
"Marshal, we lost two hundred and eighty thousand combat power. And of your personal guards, one is dead and three are injured. One is recuperating, and the other two flew into the sky to surrender," a subordinate said.
"Zhao Tian Sha!" Xiaoyao Hou glared angrily.
At Zhao Tian Sha's place.
"How many casualties did we suffer?" Zhao Tian Sha asked.
"Marshal, we lost two hundred and fifty thousand combat power. It was a close call, but we were lucky a few times. We ran into Xiaoyao Hou's army and Ultimate Emperor Realm experts. We thought we were going to lose, but the Zhong Family army suddenly appeared and blocked a portion of Xiaoyao Hou's army for us. They allowed us to kill one of the Ultimate Emperor Realm experts and seriously injure three of them!" A subordinate said.
"The Zhong Family army suddenly appeared?" Zhao Tian Sha frowned.
"Yes, they actually got lost. Haha, the heavens are helping us," the subordinate said.
"Mm!" Zhao Tian Sha nodded.
In the valley where Lin Xiao was at, in the temporary palace.
Shui Wuhen looked at the two identical maps, her eyes full of panic. One was the map that Lin Xiao had predicted, and the other was the map that the scouts had found. The two maps were shockingly similar. At most, there was only a slight difference between them.
Shui Wuhen looked at them in disbelief. At the same time, she looked at Lin Xiao as if he was a monster.
Looking at Shui Wuhen, Lin Xiao smiled. "This is the basics. Do you want to learn?"
Shui Wuhen nodded her head in a somewhat sluggish manner. Huge waves were surging in her heart.
"Understand these first!" Lin Xiao threw out a pile of information.
Shui Wuhen picked it up and asked, "What is this?"
"Information on Xiaoyao Hou and Zhao Tian Sha. Their living habits, their style of doing things, and the way they used to command their troops. There is also information on their subordinates, "Lin Xiao said.
"This is?" Shui Wuhen was puzzled.
"Know yourself and know your enemy. Only then can you win a hundred battles. If you don't even know your opponent, how can you fight a war? Only by understanding the habits of the enemy's general can you predict their movements. Only then can you be one step ahead of them and formulate a strategy! "Lin Xiao explained.
"Yes, Wuhen has learned." Shui Wuhen immediately replied. Clearly, her previous arrogance had faded away and she was seriously learning from Lin Xiao.
Li Fire Temple.
"How is the competition?" Nie Fanchen asked.
"Your Majesty, Xiaoyao Hou and Zhao Tian Sha will definitely lose!" The old eunuch replied.
"Oh?" Nie Fanchen was puzzled.
"The vice general of the Zhong Army, Lin Xiao, is truly a genius. His ability to lead troops is terrifying. Perhaps only Shaofei Hou can face him!" The old eunuch said.
"You actually gave him such a high evaluation?" Nie Fanchen smiled.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Let me give you some data and you will understand the situation." The old eunuch said.
"Speak!" Nie Fanchen said.
"In the surrender square, the Zhong Army has a hundred thousand men, but only a portion of them suffered light injuries. Xiaoyao Hou and Zhao Tian Sha also have a hundred thousand men each, but all of them suffered heavy injuries. In the inner square, Xiaoyao Hou's men died 180,000, Zhao Tian Sha's men died 150,000! As for the Zhong Army! "The old eunuch's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"What happened to the Zhong Army?" Nie Fanchen asked.
"Not a single one died!" The old eunuch said strangely.
Silence. Li Fire Temple was silent for a long time.
"The person leading the Zhong Army is called Lin Xiao, right?" Nie Fanchen asked after a moment of silence.
"Yes, he is the one who followed Zhong Shan into Li Fire Temple and brought the Underworld Yuan Pill in front of all the officials and generals." The old eunuch said.
… … …
War wasn't something that could be ended in a short period of time. Although the battlefield was small and they needed to fight a quick battle, no matter how fast they fought, the number of people couldn't be ended in a short period of time.
Just like this, Lin Xiao calculated crazily. The Zhong Army acted as a strong fuse in the entire battlefield. They would hide in the shadows and wait for the two sides to fight. If they didn't fight, the Zhong Army would immediately act as the initiator. When the two sides met, they would madly charge at each other.
Ten days later!
"Vice General Lin, according to your calculations, Nie Kuang and Zhao Tian Sha have less than two hundred thousand men left in this area?" Shui Wuhen said in disbelief.
"Two hundred thousand men, each side has less than a hundred thousand men left." Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"Vice General Lin, you are really too amazing!" Shui Wuhen immediately said in surprise.
"Amazing? They're just a bunch of trash. What's there to be surprised about? Furthermore, I have less than five hundred thousand men left. "Lin Xiao shook his head. He was clearly very dissatisfied with this result.
Shui Wuhen was speechless. She had lost three hundred thousand men, but they were all fine and unharmed. As for the remaining five hundred thousand, they hadn't been injured at all. At most, they had only suffered light injuries. Both sides had lost eight hundred thousand men, and they had even crippled twenty-three Peak Emperor experts. Was he still not satisfied with this result?
