As soon as the word 'release the arrows' was uttered, not to mention the millions of soldiers surrounding them, even the 50,000 soldiers of the Black Dragon Division were shocked. However, they had already received the order to prepare beforehand, so they immediately released the arrows in their hands at the same time.
Peng, peng, peng …
A series of crackling noises rang out as the two arrows nocked on the bowstring instantly transformed into nearly a hundred thousand streams of light and shot out, bursting out like a dazzling light. In order to get rid of the 50,000 archers, they did not hesitate to release two arrows at once.
The million-strong army was shocked, and so were the purple-armored generals. No one expected that the 50,000 soldiers surrounded by the million-strong army would dare to make the first move.
Logically speaking, under such a heavy siege, these people should be thinking about how to save their lives. If they made the first move, they would be courting death. However, the enemy made the first move.
The general shouted angrily, "Release the arrows!"
Even if they had to pay a huge price, they had to reduce the enemy's numbers. With only a few thousand soldiers, they could not stop the attack.
However, in such a situation, coupled with the fact that the distance was so close, the countless rays of light would arrive in the blink of an eye. Any delay would be fatal.
Although he had given the order, in such a situation, almost everyone's first reaction was to take out their shields to protect themselves. This was especially so for the archers who saw the rays of light shooting towards them. Even the general who gave the order was no exception. He hurriedly took out his shields as he shouted.
The million-strong army was instantly thrown into chaos.
However, the distance was too close, and they did not have time to react. Before they could take out their shields to block, many of them trembled and were shot down on the spot, falling like rain.
"Ah … Ah …" The continuous screams caused the formation to become even more chaotic.
The general behind the shields shouted again, "Release the arrows!"
However, he did not hear the sound of arrows being released. He immediately cursed in his heart that the combat quality of the local forces was not just a little bit worse than the Imperial Guards. When he took a look at the situation, his heart instantly turned cold. The tens of thousands of archers who were exposed in the front row were all knocked down.
This scene almost made him vomit blood. If he still couldn't understand that the enemy was just stalling for time, then he would have lived in vain for so many years. Just one wave of attacks was enough to take down almost all of the archers on his side. It was impossible for him to be so accurate at a fixed point in time. He would need time to rearrange his attack targets. This meant that the other side was not prepared to compromise from the start and had been preparing to attack all along. Yet, his side still thought that victory was in their grasp like a fool.
Lunatic! These two words popped up in his mind. He really wanted to know who the leader of the opposing army was, to actually dare to take the lead in launching an attack under such circumstances.
When he suddenly saw countless streams of light shooting over, he thought that he would become a target as well. Now that he realized that they were dealing with archers, he immediately popped his head out from behind his shield and shouted, "Kill!"
At the same time that the millions of shield-wielding soldiers charged forward, he noticed that there were still some archers who had survived. He added, "Archers, kill the bandit leader!"
"Release the arrows!" Miao Yi roared as he brandished his spear.
Whoosh! Whoosh! The third Meteor Arrow instantly turned into tens of thousands of streaks of light and shot in all directions. Their goal here was also to kill the enemy's leader. Almost every fifty arrows were aimed at one of the purple armored generals of the enemy.
As soon as the rain of arrows was released, the enemy immediately stopped attacking and quickly raised their shields to block.
At the same time, hundreds of streams of light also shot out from the enemy's formation towards Miao Yi and Mu Yulian. Mu Yulian's soldiers, who had been guarding the area beforehand, raised their shields to defend themselves. The responsibility of the Middle Army was to protect the Commander-in-Chief.
However, under the concentrated attack of hundreds of Meteor Arrows, a hole was immediately torn in the middle army's shield defense amidst loud booms. After breaking through three layers of defense, dozens of cries of agony rang out. Dozens of Black Dragon Clan soldiers were killed on the spot, and dozens more were injured. This was all thanks to their superior equipment, as their shields were all forged from Red Crystals.
On the other hand, the enemy wasn't so lucky. The Meteor Arrows pierced through the Gold Crystal and Purple Crystal shields protecting the purple-armored generals. After killing the people behind the shields, the personal guards beside the purple-armored generals all used Red Crystal shields to block the attacks.
There were also close to a hundred purple-armored generals who couldn't defend themselves properly in time, and were either killed on the spot or injured by the Meteor Arrows.
The number of guards who were killed directly reached up to ten thousand.
Seeing their brothers fall beside them. Mu Yulian hurriedly ordered, "Heavenly Eagle Flag, kill the enemy archers!"
The Heavenly Eagle Flag Commander quickly shouted, "Heavenly Wolf Flag! Kill the enemy archers! "
Close to a hundred thousand Meteor Arrows flew back in the air. The Black Dragon Clan soldiers quickly waved their hands to recall them. One arrow was placed in their mouths, while another was nocked on the bowstring and released. They continued to focus the rain of arrows on the purple-armored generals.
After receiving Mu Yulian's order, the Heavenly Wolf Flag Deputy General under the Heavenly Eagle Flag quickly rearranged their attacks. He commanded more than five hundred subordinates to focus their attacks on the enemy archers. The enemy archers weren't as strong as the guards around the generals. Under the concentrated attack, only one wave of arrows was enough to kill all the remaining enemy archers.
The purple-armored generals of the Youding Region also realized that they had become the target of beheading. The shields that were constantly being replenished were constantly being destroyed amidst the screams of pain. These purple-armored generals didn't dare to show their faces.
After a few waves of attacks, other than Mu Yulian's central army that had suffered close to a hundred casualties, the rest of the Black Dragon Clan were unharmed. On the other hand, the million-man army that was besieging the enemy was at a disadvantage due to a moment of carelessness. It could be said that they had suffered heavy losses. Under the powerful attack of the Black Dragon Clan's Spell Breaker Bows, a few waves of arrows had caused the number of casualties to reach two hundred thousand.
The ground was littered with corpses, and many of them were groaning in pain.
How could they continue to be beaten like this? The leader of the Youding Region who was hiding behind the shields shouted angrily, "We have a million men, why should we be afraid of a mere few tens of thousands of Spell Breaker Bows? Their Spell Breaker Bows won't be able to shoot many arrows before they run out of energy! Listen to my orders, shield together and advance! The first to enter the enemy's camp will be rewarded! Those who retreat before the battle will be killed without mercy! Tie Wuxin, lead the troops to retrieve the Spell Breaker Bows that were left behind by my tribe. Once you get them, immediately attack them with the Spell Breaker Bows. Let's see where they can run to! The rest of you, listen to my orders. Attack together and kill! "
Hearing the other party's booming orders, many of the Black Dragon Clan's troops paled. If the other party were to retrieve the Spell Breaker Bows, even though they had recharged the Spell Breaker Bows earlier, they would have already used up five out of fifteen arrows. How would they be able to defend against the enemy's attacks?
With a ferocious expression, Miao Yi suddenly looked towards Mu Yulian and said, "Mu Yulian, take command. The rest of the Colored Lotus cultivators of the Blue Tiger Banner, assemble with me!"
A hundred and three Colored Lotus cultivators quickly emerged from the army of several tens of thousands and rushed towards Miao Yi.
Without saying a word, Miao Yi threw out a few hundred sets of Red Crystal Armor and weapons that he always carried with him, in front of these hundred-odd people. He also threw out a pile of Glorious Star immortal herbs. Now was not the time to slowly distribute them; it was too late. As he threw out the items, he shouted angrily, "What is there to fear from a million-man army?! Back then, this Niu had single-handedly entered and exited the million-man army three times. It was as though no one could stop me. Not to mention now that I have the help of a hundred fierce warriors! Everyone, do you dare to fight with this Niu for the survival of our brothers? Let's make a name for ourselves together! "
Even though everyone knew that Miao Yi's so-called million-strong army was nothing more than a ragtag bunch, and couldn't be compared to the proper army before them, they still felt their blood boiling with excitement when they heard Miao Yi's words. They also knew that at this point, once they lost, there would be no way out. They could only fight to the death!
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "the hundred-odd people shouted in unison.
Miao Yi quickly turned around and looked at his surroundings. The encircling army had already formed a shield formation to withstand the pressure of the arrow rain. If it had been the Home Guard attacking, this side would have already been breached. The local forces were too weak, and no one was willing to rush to their deaths at the very front. They were all eager for someone else to rush to the front and exhaust the enemy's Meteor Arrows.
Mu Yulian assigned another ten thousand men to deal with those who went to pick up the bows and arrows. They had already beaten back three waves of people who went to pick up the arrows.
Faced with such a perilous situation, the difference between the Home Guard and the local forces could be seen. Even in such a perilous situation, this side's formation didn't panic at all.
With the situation hanging by a thread, Miao Yi hurriedly told Mu Yulian, "Wait for me to charge out and order the army to advance and seize the location of the enemy's lost bow. We can only succeed, we cannot fail!" He then turned to the hundred-odd people and raised his spear as he shouted, "Today, we can only fight to the death for survival. There is no other way! This Niu is willing to be the vanguard of the 'suicide squad'. Everyone, your names will be known throughout the world today. Follow me and kill! "He grabbed a handful of Glorious Star immortal herbs and stuffed them into his mouth. He then took the lead and charged out.
"Master!" Mu Yulian cried out in surprise. She didn't expect Miao Yi to actually lead the charge.
The one hundred and three people also grabbed a handful of Glorious Star immortal herbs and stuffed them into their mouths. They casually grabbed a suitable Red Crystal weapon and armor and charged out with Miao Yi. They didn't care if the armor fit them or not. Now wasn't the time to care about that. They quickly changed as they flew.
With Miao Yi in the lead, the hundred-odd people charged towards the enemy's camp. Their target was the enemy's commander, who was hiding behind layers of protection.
Seeing this, the entire Black Dragon Division was shocked. Their morale instantly soared.
Mu Yulian waved her spear and roared, "Advance!"
Tens of thousands of troops charged towards Miao Yi, using the bow to open a path and forcefully ramming into the enemy's army.
Seeing the enemy's commander leading the charge, the Meteor Arrows no longer fired in their direction. On top of that, when he saw that Miao Yi's transcendence idol was only at Rainbow Lotus First Grade, the commander of the Youding Region's army was invigorated. He was a Rainbow Lotus Fifth Grade cultivator. He immediately waved his saber and shouted, "Brothers Left and Right Guards, follow me and kill this traitor!"
He took the lead, followed by a few generals on his left and right. Behind him, tens of thousands of troops charged out.
"Niu Youde is here! Those who stand in my way shall die! "The moment both sides clashed, Miao Yi suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar. He finally announced his name.
Niu Youde! As soon as this name was announced, everyone in the Youding Region was shocked. Was this the Niu Youde who had single-handedly slaughtered his way in and out of an army of a million in the Land of Purgatory?
