Rumble!
Waves of invisible ripples spread out in all directions, enveloping the entire army. By now, the range of Wang Chong's Bane of the Battlefield had reached an astonishing level. Moreover, the terrain of the mountains and the concentration of the army made it even more effective for Wang Chong's halo.
"Attention! Activate the halo! From now on, for every enemy soldier killed within the range of the halo, host's halo will grow! "
In a flash, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears.
Wang Chong's lips curled into a faint smile, his face unfazed by the voice. In this period of time, Wang Chong had figured out a pattern. If he wanted to gain strength through battle, he had to become the commander-in-chief of an army, and he had to be the commander of an army that belonged entirely to him.
The other method was to spread the halo. The range of the halo would weaken the strength of the enemy, equivalent to him personally participating in the battle. Thus, he could also gain strength through battle.
"Buzz!"
The Tang soldiers in battle did not sense anything, but Ouzan's men immediately sensed it.
"What's going on? Why has my halo weakened! "
"Damn it, why have my movements suddenly slowed down!"
"Why do I suddenly feel like my strength has decreased? What's going on?"
… …
Ouzan's men had been in a state of disarray, and when they suddenly realized that their strength, speed, and dexterity had all been reduced, they panicked even more. What people feared the most was not a formidable opponent, nor was it an enemy that greatly outnumbered them, but an unknown power.
Wang Chong's Bane of the Battlefield would not increase the strength of his own side, so his own side would not notice it. But it would weaken the enemy's strength, which was completely different from any other halo.
At the very least, this sort of halo did not exist in the Tang dynasty or in the various foreign countries.
Consciously, no one would have thought of this.
More importantly, Wang Chong's halo did not have any particular outward appearance and was not easy to detect. And in this kind of gray rainstorm environment, there were even fewer signs to be found.
"Rumble!"
There was no time to think. With a rumble, as the Annam Protectorate took the initiative to attack, an unexpected change occurred in the entire battle. Since the start of the battle, the Annam Protectorate had the upper hand and initiative for the first time.
Rumble! The army was defeated like a landslide. Looking down from the top of the mountain, they saw that the vast Ouzan cavalry had clearly been cut into two, attacked from the front and rear.
Wang Chong's pocket contained more than eight thousand enemy soldiers, and outside the main battlefield, where the Ouzan army was gathering reinforcements from all directions, the Tang army thrust another blade in. What was even worse was that the wave of arrows that Wang Chong had directed the sharpshooters to shoot had caused chaos at the node and indirectly obstructed a large portion of the army in the rear.
As a result, even though the Ouzan cavalry had an astonishing number of cavalry, they were unable to unleash their full power when they were blocked by the front.
"Neigh!"
The warhorses roared, and the highland steeds fell to the ground, neighing miserably. The axemen in the Tang army were often able to chop down these highland steeds with a single swing of their axes. Another Ouzan soldier swung his blade, but he was sent flying by a single punch from another Tang soldier.
In terms of individual strength, the Tang army was unstoppable, unable to withstand even a single blow. For some reason, the valiant and ferocious Ouzan soldiers seemed to have suddenly dropped in strength.
"Unbelievable! When did I become so strong!"
A soldier with a shield stared at his own fist in shock. In all his years of fighting in Lion City, he had never seen an Ouzan soldier fall from his horse with a single punch.
"Hahaha, the Ouzan soldiers are only so-so!"
A spearman watched as his spear pierced through a chink in his opponent's armor, the tip of the spear emerging from his horse's head and stabbing into his opponent's neck. He didn't understand what had just happened, but the usually fast and nimble Ouzan soldiers had suddenly slowed down.
The spearman could only watch as his opponent's scimitar brushed past him by half a step, allowing his spear to pierce through his opponent's body.
No matter what had happened, there was no doubt that he had succeeded.
Similar things were happening all over the battlefield.
The strength of the Annam Protectorate and the Ouzan soldiers had originally been about the same, but at this moment, the Annam Protectorate had clearly gained the upper hand and was suppressing their enemy.
"Hahaha, brothers, kill! The time for our Annam Protectorate to take revenge has come! — — "
"Kill! — — "
… …
Battle cries resounded through the world. The gloominess of the Annam Protectorate was swept away, and everyone's spirits were roused. The soldiers with shields, sabers, axes, and spears all advanced in unison.
"Something's wrong!"
The Tang army had not yet sensed anything, but the Ouzan generals immediately sensed it. Amidst the vast army of Ouzan cavalry, a strong-looking general with bright eyes widened as he subconsciously looked toward the summit.
Wang Chong's Bane of the Battlefield had not only affected the northeast region, but the entire battlefield.
In that moment, he could clearly sense that the strength of his subordinates had greatly weakened. But Wang Chong's Bane of the Battlefield had no effect on generals, so not even he could determine what had happened.
"What's going on here? What's going on? "
His bright eyes swept across the battlefield and scanned one round. Finally, he quickly swept his gaze across the battlefield in the northeast region. Logically speaking, with so many soldiers concentrated in the northeast region, the Tang army should have the absolute advantage, but in reality, the Tang army was the one with the advantage.
This situation was not normal!
"Parry!"
With a cold glint in his eyes, the Ouzan general suddenly turned his horse around and galloped toward the northeast.
… …
"Southeast region, left wing, four thousand five hundred meters, right wing, one thousand eight hundred steps, fire!"
At the same time, on the summit of the northeast region, Wang Chong, clad in golden armor, stood beneath a flagpole, his voice cold and emotionless. Bangbangbang! With Wang Chong's order, two volleys of arrows, like the eyes of a death god, landed on the left wing and right wing respectively at a distance of four thousand five hundred meters and one thousand eight hundred meters respectively.
Rumble! With the neighing of horses on the verge of death, the Ouzan soldiers who had been on the verge of forming an orderly formation once more fell into chaos.
Wang Chong towered over the summit, his gaze like that of a hawk sweeping over the battlefield. Not a single movement could escape his eyes.
In his hands, the master archer army, a necessity for any army, had displayed a strategic might.
At this point, it was no longer important how many people the master archer army killed. They had become a strategic weapon. As long as there was a threat, Wang Chong would disrupt them in advance.
In the art of war, the ultimate goal was to confuse the enemy, confuse them, weaken them, and do their best to create a situation in which they outnumbered the enemy.
And right now, the Tang army in the northeast region was in this state.
The Ouzan soldiers, who clearly had the advantage in numbers, had suddenly become the minority. Wang Chong had used their own chaos to build an invisible 'high wall' among the enemy army, a 'high wall' to block their own people from the rear.
Batch after batch of Ouzan soldiers screamed as they fell to the sabers and axes of the Tang army. In Wang Chong's mind, all sorts of voices were ringing out like a waterfall.
[Congratulations to user for killing 182 Ouzan cavalry!]
[Congratulations to user for killing 342 Ouzan cavalry!]
[Congratulations to user for killing 687 Ouzan cavalry!]
[Congratulations to user for killing 1,344 Ouzan cavalry!]
[Congratulations to user for killing 1,344 Ouzan cavalry!]
[Congratulations to user for killing 2,576 Ouzan cavalry!]
[Congratulations to user for killing 3,936 Ouzan cavalry!]
… …
[Congratulations to user for killing 5,722 Ouzan cavalry!]
[Congratulations to user for killing 7,549 Ouzan cavalry!]
… …
One voice after another roared out of Wang Chong's mind, constantly announcing the casualties of the Ouzan soldiers. This was not an even increase, but an exponential one. In a short period of time, the casualties of the Ouzan soldiers reached an astonishing rate.
The wind howled on the mountaintop. With each death of an Ouzan soldier, a stream of energy poured into Wang Chong's body from the surrounding void. Wang Chong had already reached Tier 9 of the True Martial realm, but now he was showing signs of advancing toward the peak of Tier 9.
If he advanced further, all the halos would merge into one, forming a large Halo of Thorns. That would be the Profound Martial realm.
[Welcome to my official WeChat account and Weibo. Just search for Huangfu Qi. There's a lot of content not found in novels there.]
"Incredible, incredible!"
On the mountaintop, Chen Shusun and the other generals were filled with excitement, completely stunned by this scene.
Although they were not like Wang Chong, who could know the casualties of the Ouzan soldiers at any time, looking down from the mountaintop, they could completely see what was happening on the battlefield.
Defeat was like a landslide!
That was exactly what was happening on the battlefield!
Although the Ouzan had the advantage in numbers, they were no match for the Annam Protectorate. In the pocket that Wang Chong had set up, large numbers of Ouzan soldiers were falling like harvested straws.
On the other side of the battlefield, the Annam Protectorate was like a sharp sword stabbing straight into the heart of the enemy, making it impossible for the enemy to stop it.
If the Ouzan could be described as a vast ocean, then the Annam Protectorate was a rock in that vast ocean. Although it appeared to be the weaker side, it was in fact the one with the upper hand.
"Great, this is great!"
Chen Shusun clenched his fists, his face flushed with excitement.
Even the other guards and generals around the flagpole looked at Wang Chong with completely different expressions. When Wang Chong had first taken over the army, everyone had been skeptical, including Chen Shusun.
But at this moment, looking at the battle at the foot of the mountain, there was no longer any doubt.
"I really didn't expect the young master to be so accomplished in the art of war. Even if the eldest young master were here, awake, he would still be far inferior. The army is saved! "
Chen Shusun was overjoyed.
