"Beiming Huan." Ziye suddenly turned and looked at the general.
Beiming Huan hurriedly bowed. "Your subordinate is here, Lord Ziye."
"Which country do you belong to?"
"The Tianji Empire."
"How many people do you have now?"
"Nearly three hundred thousand."
"How many people do they have?"
"About … less than two hundred thousand."
"Humph!" Ziye swung his sleeves and said with a livid face, "What a piece of trash. Didn't you claim that the Sky Pole Continent is the strongest lower realm? You can't even take down a Broken Cauldron Realm, not to mention that you have more soldiers. You're such a disappointment. If you can't be the general, I think we should replace you! "
Beiming Huan's face was pale. "Lord Ziye, please listen to me. My army's attacks are getting fiercer and fiercer. In less than a day, we will break through this damn steel wall."
"Steel wall?"
"Yes." Beiming Huan pointed at the chaotic battlefield in the west. "Lord Ziye, please look. The Broken Cauldron Realm has built a steel defense line along the river. They call it the steel wall. It's twenty meters tall, and ordinary ladders and hooks can't compare to it. That's why we can't do anything. But now that we have the magic crystal cannons, this steel wall is nothing."
Ziye looked at him coldly, making Beiming Huan's hair stand on end.
"Lord Ziye … what's wrong?"
"Humph." Ziye sneered, "I can see that you have the cultivation of a God Emperor, but you're actually so weak. How can a mere Mortal Realm's Iron Wall stop you?"
"Lord Ziye, I …"
"Get out of my way."
Ziye looked at him coldly. "I'll help you flatten this steel wall. If you can't break through the Broken Cauldron Realm's defense line in one day, then kill yourself!"
"Lord, you …"
Before Beiming Huan could finish, Ziye had already regrown his four wings and flew towards the steel wall. He stood on the river and took out his sword, pointing it at the wall. Ziye gave a devilish smile and laughed, "Ants' building, break!"
"Buzz!"
Rays of light that soared into the sky gathered together. In the blink of an eye, a huge wheel appeared beneath Midnight's feet. It was actually a Divine Wheel! That's right, the unique ability of an Emperor God with 90 levels of Grotto-Heaven Great Circle — Divine Wheel!
On the city wall, Feng Jixing and the others felt a strong sense of oppression. Looking from afar, the person on the river had already slashed out with his sword. His Divine Wheel whizzed over.
"Be careful!"
Without another word, Feng Jixing also struck out with a dimensional storm. However, it was clear that he was unable to contend against a Divine Wheel.
Qu Chu bellowed and raised his hand to summon his strongest power. The trees on the ground were uprooted and formed a natural barrier.
Scholar Ling was anxious. He took out a Heavenly Book and shouted, "Don't resist. You can't. Follow me and move!"
The sky suddenly lit up, and the Heavenly Book of the Law of Space brought everyone away from this section of the city wall. After moving about 500 meters away, everyone looked back and saw an extremely tragic scene. The steel wall that was nearly 300 meters long collapsed in an instant and was directly razed to the ground by the opponent's Spirit Wheel. Countless imperial soldiers on the city wall and inside the city had already been turned into flesh and blood, and most of them had been turned into ashes.
"It's a Divine Wheel …" Scholar Ling frowned.
Qu Chu remained silent. Feng Jixing gritted his teeth and said, "Damn the Western Heaven Realm. Did they send someone again?"
Scholar Ling said, "To be able to use a Divine Wheel, it must be at least a Great Perfection God Emperor at the 90th Grotto-Heaven Stage. This is really troublesome. The steel wall most likely can't hold on anymore."
"No, we must hold on!"
Feng Jixing's eyes were bloodshot. "I can't let Her Highness Yin and Yu see us abandoning the empire's last line of defense. Even if I die here, I won't allow it! Xu Hao, how often can you use your Divine Wheel? "
"It depends on your cultivation. Ordinary Great Perfection God Emperors can use their Divine Wheel once every four hours. If they use it too frequently, their cultivation will be damaged."
"Four hours. That's enough!"
Feng Jixing carried his blades and flew up. He stood in the air above the broken city wall and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Block the gap and resist them! Magic Crystal Cannons, Magic Crystal Crossbows, arrow boxes. Don't save ammunition for me. Fire! Attack! "
The resistance on the city wall became more intense. Luo Yu led the infantry and cavalry to form a human wall around the broken city wall. They fought with the Flowing Spirit Army and the God Yi Army who were trying to break into the defensive line.
"Eh?"
Above the river, Ziye frowned. The Qin Army's tenacity was beyond his imagination.
Beside him, the three Battle Angels, Duo La, Luo Fei, and Duo Li, flew over. Duo La smiled and said, "Sir Ziye, the Qin Army's courage is commendable. It's a pity that they are too weak. Thanks to Sir Ziye's attack, I think … our army will be able to break through their defensive line soon."
Ziye snorted and did not say anything.
He was a strange person. His arrogance was even higher than Duo La's.
…
Twenty miles away, the 60,000 soldiers entered the Unicorn Forest. Returning to the old land made everyone feel a myriad of emotions.
Qin Yin closed her eyes. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. She muttered, "The battle is very intense … the steel protective wall has already been damaged in many places."
Her cultivation was very high. Ever since she obtained the Eyes of Blazing Light, she had relied on her spiritual perception. Hence, her spiritual perception was much more sensitive than others of the same cultivation. Just from the tremors and auras coming from the ground, she could basically determine the situation of the battlefield.
Lin Muyu gently stroked Taxue's mane, telling her not to be so anxious. They were indeed getting closer and closer to the battlefield.
Looking into the distance, they could even see the rising smoke in the sky. That was the masterpiece of the Magic Crystal Cannons.
"Let's hope they can withstand it," Zhen Yifan said.
At that moment, Xu Jiantao galloped over on his horse. He said respectfully, "Your Highnesses, we just received news from our scouts. Beiming Huan's 300,000 soldiers are almost all out. There are only about 20,000 soldiers and 50,000 backup soldiers left behind. These backup soldiers are basically the surrendered soldiers or citizens of the empire. They don't have much fighting power."
"You want to raid the food camp?" Lin Muyu asked with a smile.
"Yes."
Xu Jiantao said, "Food is the foundation of an army. An army of 300,000 soldiers consumes at least one million kilograms of food every day, and at least five hundred thousand kilograms of vegetables. The food of the Tianji Empire is basically looted from Winter Frost City and the nearby cities, so it won't be much. As long as we burn their food, they won't be able to fight for long. Once they have the intention to retreat, our army can pursue them."
Lin Muyu smiled. Xu Jiantao seemed to have matured into a true general who could take charge of an area by himself. Which famous general did not plan for their rations all day long? That was a basic quality of life.
"Tell me, how are you going to raid them?"
Xu Jiantao said, "We can't send too many people. Five thousand light cavalrymen will be enough. We'll split up from here and bring along some kindling. We'll rely on the warhorses to swim across the river. However … we must restrain the enemy on the main battlefield. Otherwise, these five thousand people will be easily hunted down by the Dragon Knights or Godly State Experts."
"Don't worry." Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows and said, "Xiao Yin, Xiao Xi, and I will go to the main battlefield to keep the enemy busy. You and Wei Chou will lead 5,000 light cavalries there. Listen to my orders. Don't come back. After burning their granaries, immediately head east and burn all their food teams and supplies. It will take at least five days to get to Winter Frost City from here. Since Beiming Huan dares to come, I will starve his 100,000 men to death!"
As she said that, Lin Muyu pulled out a token arrow from a guard's hand and said, "Wei Chou, Xu Jiantao, listen to my orders. I will allow you two to act according to the situation. Once you enter the east of the river, I will not give you any orders anymore. You two can act on your own and cause as much damage as you can to their rear. Don't worry about anything. In this battle, not only will I crush the Tianji Empire on the river, I will also make them suffer heavy casualties on their way back from Cangnan Province to Lingdong Province!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The two generals knelt down together.
After receiving the token arrow, they immediately chose their men and left. Meanwhile, Lin Muyu looked into the distance and said, "Speed up the march. The main battlefield needs our strength!"
"Also, where is Ziling's secret weapon?"
"In the middle of the army, led by dozens of wild warriors." Tang Xiaoxi smiled and said.
"Hmm, that's good …"
Although the secret weapon might not be of real use, it could at least deter the Celestial Pole Continent, right?
…
In the afternoon, the 50,000 men under Lin Muyu finally reached the steel wall. Looking from afar, the steel wall had already collapsed for a long time, and the two sides were engaged in a close combat under the wall.
"Roar, roar, roar …"
Among the rubble, the roars of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry were very ear-piercing. After tearing apart a group of imperial soldiers, they immediately rushed toward the back of the Unicorn Forest. That was the camp for the wounded soldiers, and it was also the temporary location of the Spiritual Medicine Department where Chu Yao was.
Lin Muyu immediately pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword and shouted, "Kill them! Don't let them get close to the camp for the wounded soldiers! Duke Fan, Aunt Lian, you two immediately lead the main force to reinforce Big Brother Feng Jixing!"
Amidst the sound of hooves, Lin Muyu led a group of elite cavalrymen and rushed over. The Xuanyuan Sword was very sharp, and it emitted many sword energies. In the blink of an eye, she killed a group of Tiger Leopard Cavalry single-handedly. By the time Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi arrived with the banished army, the army of nearly 3,000 Tiger Leopard Cavalry had already fallen apart.
"Kill them!"
In the distance, another group of Tian Ji Army broke through the defensive line and rushed over. There were over 10,000 cavalrymen and heavy cavalrymen, and they rushed over majestically.
"Xiao Yin!"
Lin Muyu said in a low voice, "It's time to use your power."
"Hmm …"
Qin Yin suddenly left her original position and flew into the sky in the next moment. She opened the Eyes of Flaming Dawn, and the enemies on the ground were instantly set ablaze. Those cavalrymen and heavy cavalrymen didn't dare to look directly at the Eyes of Flaming Dawn. They were dumbfounded as if their souls had been electrocuted. Dozens of seconds later, the heavy cavalrymen of the Longdan Army Camp swept across the battlefield like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
…
On the city wall, Feng Jixing and the others saw the scene in the distance. Feng Jixing couldn't help but tremble with excitement. He laughed and said, "Brothers, Her Highness the Empress is back! Her Highness Yin is back! She is fighting side by side with us!"
Everyone raised their weapons and shouted. Their morale was instantly raised.
