"Give me your horse! Don't waste your breath on me!"
Outside the forest, Zhou Junqiang kicked the scout off his horse and galloped off into the distance. Before long, the dull sound of hooves could be heard from afar. The main force of the Blue Flame Army had arrived. They covered the entire mountain and plains in a grandiose manner. War flags with bear bodies fluttered in the wind, and the roars of giant dragons could be heard in the sky. Zhou Junqiang felt a lump in his throat as sorrow welled up within him.
"Commander! I want to see Lord Commander! "
Zhou Junqiang spurred his horse in the opposite direction of the crowd.
All of the Blue Flame Army soldiers were dumbfounded. What was wrong with this vanguard commander? He looked like he had lost his soul. Furthermore, he was the only one who had returned. Many of them immediately thought of something they shouldn't have.
"Commander!"
Zhou Junqiang's voice was extremely sorrowful.
"It's Commander Zhou!"
Amidst the crowd, Fu Yu held his saber and slowly stopped his warhorse. He said, "What's going on? Why are you the only one back? Where are the others? "
"Reporting to Commander … we were ambushed by Green Lake. Lin Muyu led an army of 200,000 and descended from the sky. They surrounded this subordinate's 10,000 men. This subordinate was almost captured alive. I killed a thousand of them with my sword and finally managed to break out of the encirclement. Now, I can see Commander again. However, the 10,000 brothers of the vanguard battalion …"
"What happened to 10,000 men?"
"They were completely annihilated!" Zhou Junqiang was on the verge of tears.
"What did you say?!"
Fu Yu suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Zhou Junqiang, you've got guts. I gave you ten thousand men to lead the vanguard, but you actually annihilated them all. How can you be the commander of the vanguard?"
On the side, Han Shu, the deputy commander of the Dragon Rider Regiment, who was slowly descending on a giant dragon, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Commander Zhou, since you said that you killed more than a thousand people before escaping, why don't you pull out your sword for us to see if there's any blood on it?"
"I …"
Zhou Junqiang's face was ashen. "My treasured sword can cut through iron like mud and kill without any blood. Deputy commander, there's no need to check, right?"
"Nonsense. How can there be a sword that can kill without spilling blood?"
Fu Yu was infuriated as he yelled, "Men, take down Zhou Junqiang and hand him over to the military law office. Once I'm done with Lin Muyu, I'll slowly take care of you, trash!"
"Spare me, Commander … Lin Muyu is like a god, he has 200,000 troops, oh no, 500,000 troops!"
"Drag him away!"
…
Fu Yu was so angry that his entire body was trembling. "Why do I have such useless subordinates? I'm so angry!"
Han Shu indifferently said, "Commander, there's no need to be polite. We've brought an army of a hundred thousand here to encircle and annihilate them. I believe that Lin Muyu won't be able to escape even if she grows wings. According to the time and direction of the surprise attack on Zhou Junqiang's troops, Lin Muyu and the others will definitely continue in the direction of Zhan Long Pass. Rather than chasing after them, we might as well wait for them. We'll set up an ambush near Bailu Hill and kill them!"
"Good, Lord Han Shu's words are to my liking."
Fu Yu nodded and said, "I wonder if the Marshal's army has arrived at Zhan Long Pass."
"Don't worry, the Marshal has a hundred and fifty thousand troops in his hands. With a pincer attack from the front and the back, Lin Muyu's army of fifty thousand definitely won't be able to break out of the encirclement. We'll only intercept them at Bailu Hill, but not block them. We'll give them a path to Zhan Long Pass. This way, they won't fight with their lives on the line, and we'll be able to sit back and reap the benefits, killing the most enemies with the least cost."
"Brilliant plan, haha, what a brilliant plan!" Fu Yu laughed heartily. "With Lord Han Shu following the main force of my Blue Flame Army, I believe that this time, Lin Muyu and that old dog Zhen Yifan really won't be able to escape even if they grow wings. Pass down my order, immediately change direction and advance towards Bailu Hill! "
…
Bailu Hill was a hill in the middle of the White Radiance Mountain Range. It got its name because the rocks on the hill were white in color. The mountainous terrain of the Bailu Hill region was extremely rugged and difficult to pass through. However, it was the only path along the mountain, making it easy to defend and hard to attack.
Until midnight, the Qin Army finally appeared within the range of Bailu Hill. From afar, their figures could be seen indistinctly. Marching under the moonlight, they seemed extremely exhausted.
"Not good, there's an ambush."
Zeng Yifan, who was on his horse, suddenly opened his eyes and said. He was also in the God realm, so he could still sense the auras of Han Shu, Fu Yu, and the other God realm experts in the distance.
Lin Muyu had sensed it earlier, but she didn't say it out loud.
Under the light of the torches, he looked at the map again and said, "Bailu Hill … Bailu Hill … Looks like we won't be able to avoid this calamity no matter what."
Wei Chou said, "Looking at the number of flags on Bailu Hill, their numbers shouldn't be less than a hundred thousand. They are the main force of the Blackstone Empire. Are we going to break through just like that?"
"There's only one path to Zhan Long Pass from here, but we still have to pass through it. If we return to Tiger Subdue Pass now, we won't have enough rations anymore. Our rations will only last for three days, and we've just arrived at Zhan Long Pass." Lin Muyu's eyes were filled with worry.
Su'Er said, "Yu, but if we force our way through, I'm afraid we'll suffer heavy losses. Look, they're on the two sides of Bailu Hill, and there's only one path we can take."
Lin Muyu didn't say anything.
Wei Chou said, "If Your Highness doesn't have a military order, the entire army will continue to advance!"
"Yu, what are you thinking," Su'Er said. She really didn't want the entire army to be annihilated here. After all, the Zither Dragon Army had been established for many years, and a lot of it had been the sweat and tears of her father and herself. Now that Su Muyun had passed away, if the Zither Dragon Army was annihilated, how could she face her father in the future?
Zeng Yifan frowned, but didn't say anything. He just kept looking at Lin Muyu from the corner of his eyes. He didn't believe that the Qin Emperor, who had unparalleled achievements and strategies, would really be at a loss.
Sure enough, after waiting for nearly two minutes, Lin Muyu suddenly said softly, "Our Longdan Army Camp has a total of more than three hundred Heavenly Tomes of the Law of Fire. They have already recovered their spiritual power and can be used again. Before Scholar Xu Hao left, he gave me another ten high-grade Heavenly Tomes, more than thirty middle-grade Heavenly Tomes, and nearly a hundred low-grade Heavenly Tomes. All of them are Heavenly Tomes of the Law of Fire. Look, Bailu Hill is very rugged and steep, but the areas close to the flat ground are very flat. This means that they won't be able to use rolling stones to attack us. Moreover, Bailu Hill is lush with foliage. Once we attack with fire, no matter how many people they ambush, they will all be burned to death on the hill. This also means that we only need to defend against their crossbow attacks."
The corner of Zeng Yifan's mouth curled up, revealing a smile.
Su Yu and Wei Chou, on the other hand, were startled and hadn't reacted yet.
Lin Muyu continued, "Pass down the order, the entire army will rest for two hours, then start to pass through Bailu Hill. The shieldbearers will be outside, the cavalry will be in front, and the archers will be in the middle. The shieldbearers must raise their shields above their heads. In addition, gather all of our magic crystal crossbows and open up a path in front of us. While we set fire to the mountain, we will force our way out. Since the people of the Blackstone Empire want to ambush them, then let us have a taste of our own medicine!"
Wei Chou, Situ Sen, Situ Xue, and the rest all smiled. Everyone seemed to be very pleased. As long as Lin Muyu was in the army, the Longdan Army Camp would be invincible!
…
Two hours later, the army began to gather together and slowly passed through the passage between the two mountain ranges of Bailu Hill. Fortunately, this passage was relatively wide and could accommodate nearly a hundred people at the same time. As a result, the overall formation wasn't too loose and long.
When there were shadows in front of them, the sound of drums suddenly sounded on the mountain. Sure enough, it was densely packed with soldiers in ambush!
"They're here!"
Wei Chou smiled. "Blow the conch horn and set fire!"
The conch horn sounded in the Longdan Army Camp. The stronger soldiers on both sides of the formation took out the embryonic form of the Heavenly Book. Instantly, rays of azure light shot up into the sky. The scene was spectacular. Tongues of fire spewed toward the mountain ranges on both sides. It happened to be a scorching summer, and the flames of the Heavenly Book quickly burned the forest.
Lin Muyu's figure slowly rose, and an elephant wheel rapidly expanded and extended under her feet. She shouted in a low voice, "All the manifestations of heaven and earth, listen to my command!"
Borrowing the momentum, violent wind!
A spectacle appeared. Endless violent wind blew toward the mountain ranges on both sides of the mountain range. The wind fueled the fire, and the fire rushed up the mountain like tongues of fire. The soldiers who were drawing their bows could not dodge in time and were immediately engulfed by the fire. Moreover, the fire was so powerful that the Heavenly Book was activated in an instant. The Ashen Flame Army did not have much time to think and suffered heavy losses.
"Demonic Crystal Crossbows, go!"
Wei Chou shouted.
Countless arrows glowing with a purple light landed on the group of people in front of them. Instantly, a wave of hot air rippled out. In the air, Lin Muyu finished summoning the wind and quickly pulled out her sword. With a low roar, she once again gathered the power of the Invisible Elephant Art. Spirit Beads of Law appeared around her as she slashed out with her sword!
"Buzz!"
A golden elephant wheel pierced through the people in the air like a laser beam. Two Dragon Knights were immediately injured and fell.
"Wuuu …"
Han Shu held his long saber and rode his huge dragon back dozens of meters. Even with his strength, he was still forced back by the Invisible Elephant Art. He could not help but feel a chill in his heart. The last time they fought, Lin Muyu was not that strong. But now, she was as strong as a monster.
"Don't panic, go! Break their formation! "
Fu Yu raised his long saber and shouted.
However, without the protection of the Dragon Battle Spiral, how could the formation withstand the attacks of the Demonic Crystal Crossbows? After nearly a hundred rounds of Demonic Crystal Crossbows, the mountain path was already a mess. Without waiting for Fu Yu to regroup, thousands of soldiers and horses charged out from the flames in front of them. It was the 20,000 Qin Army cavalry led by Wei Chou and Situ Xue. They were the elites of the elites!
Lin Muyu slashed out dozens of elephant wheels in the air, forcing back nearly 20 Dragon Knights. For a moment, the divine power in her body was greatly depleted. She landed on the ground and charged forward with the others on her warhorse.
As the swords and sabers clashed, the elite cavalry of the Longdan Army Camp charged forward like leaves being swept away by the wind.
Fu Yu, Han Shu, and the others were blocked by the white drill arrows of the Longdan Army Camp at the periphery of the formation. Coupled with the deterrence of God rank experts like Lin Muyu and Zhen Yifan, they did not dare to attack the enemy's army recklessly. After all, it was only a legend to take the head of a general in the midst of an army of tens of thousands.
