Not only did a large number of cultivators risk their lives, but Wei Guo's army, who was forced into a desperate situation, could only press forward.
No matter how many cultivators fell, no matter how many soldiers fell, they all rushed forward madly.
This was a method of fighting regardless of casualties. At this point, Huyan Wuhen did not intend to consider Wei Guo's life or death anymore.
A large number of cultivators began to fight with their lives at all costs, even bringing out more than ten Heaven Sword Talismans to attack.
Some of the cultivators from the State of Jin swiftly released several Heavenly Sword Talismans to defend themselves. However, they were incapable of stopping the other party's barrage of attacks. It did not take long before a group of cultivators charged up a slope and the cultivators from both sides began fighting one another.
Breaking through was equivalent to a shortcut with no resistance. The soldiers at the back immediately rushed forward and slowly tore open the gap.
"The enemy doesn't want to live anymore. One slope can't be defended anymore. The enemy is outnumbered, so there's no need to make meaningless sacrifices. Pass the order, retreat to the second slope and defend! "Gao Pin ordered, turned his mount and left.
Huyan Wuhen, who was watching the battle from afar, saw the flow of the army and said indifferently, "The slope is limited, so the enemy can't gather too many people on it. Once our people attack, they will have to change from attacking up to diving down in an instant. One slope should be enough to take them down!"
The general at the side laughed and said, "Sure enough, they'll only be willing to work hard if we put a knife to their necks!"
Huyan Wuhen said, "Once Gao Pin gives up on one slope, then we shouldn't be happy too early. Gao Pin has now received Jin Jue's' true teachings' and adopted Jin Jue's fighting style. According to the previous terrain information, the real danger should be at the second slope! "
The people charging slowly on a slope in the distance suddenly sped up and seemed to be rushing to the top of the slope.
Taking it down meant that the defending troops at the first slope might really give up. The generals at Huyan Wuhen's side looked at each other. It seemed that the general was right.
One general asked, "The terrain of the three slopes is similar, what's the danger of the second slope?"
Huyan Wuhen said indifferently, "There's an extra forest at the bottom of the second slope. According to Jin Jue's fighting style, he should be chopping down the trees!"
The front was breached, and the army advanced forward faster. Huyan Wuhen urged his horse forward.
Chopping down the trees? The generals at the side looked at each other again.
On the other side of the crowd, Xuan Wei and the others couldn't help but look at each other in dismay when they saw that a slope had been conquered in one fell swoop.
These people realized that they really had to risk their lives. Look at the results, it was right in front of their eyes!
The Sect Master of the Void Spirit Manor, Chang Lin Xian, clicked his tongue and said, "This Huyan Wuhen really has some tricks up his sleeves. According to this offensive, there's a good chance of taking down the three slopes!"
The three Sect Leaders couldn't help but feel excited. They once again gave the order for the disciples of the various sects to put their lives on the line.
Xuan Wei was also excited because she really saw a glimmer of hope. While he was excited, he was also a little angry. He was angry at the Wei Nation's soldiers for not fighting hard enough. If they had fought to the death earlier, how could the Wei Nation have fallen to such a state? Why did he have to be humiliated by someone holding a knife to his neck?
Gao Pin, who was riding a horse down from a slope, led his men and retreated at full speed.
As they rushed across the plain and approached the forest on the second slope, Gao Pin suddenly waved his hand at the elder of the One Tool Cloud Sect and made a "chop" gesture.
The elder nodded and immediately flew away. He called for a group of cultivators to enter the forest and stop the Wei Nation cultivators who had arrived first.
After the Jin State troops rushed past, the Jin State cultivators fought and retreated at the same time. The sword qi in their hands slashed wildly, cutting down trees one by one.
Nearly a third of the trees in the forest below the slope had fallen.
A horn sounded on the second slope, and the Jin State cultivators who were blocking the way began to retreat.
The Wei Nation cultivators chased after them, and a rain of arrows and steel spears whizzed out from the second slope. The steel spears came down one by one with the power to split stones and split stones. They came down from the sky and instantly killed and injured a group of Wei Nation cultivators. These people were also forced to retreat and hide behind the trees that had not fallen. They waited for the rest of the troops to arrive and for the archers to launch a counterattack.
Wei Guo's men rushed over, but their speed was greatly reduced as they passed through the trees that had fallen in disorder.
Huyan Wuhen, who was riding up the first slope, looked in the direction of the second slope and sneered, "Just as I expected!"
Seeing the messy forest, a general said, "They're indeed chopping down trees. Marshal, are we going to attack with fire? "
Huyan Wuhen grunted, "The enemy's fortifications are on the third slope. If we're chopping down trees here, we should make use of the fire."
Another general said in shock, "Marshal, once the fire starts, it'll be hell on earth. Since you know that, why don't you order a retreat?"
Huyan Wuhen replied, "Because I don't want the men of Qi State to die in vain!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the second slope was already filled with flames. Fire arrows flew everywhere, oil cans were thrown, and trees were used to fuel the fire. In an instant, the bottom of the slope had become a sea of fire. The Wei Nation troops who were caught in the sea of fire were miserable. It really was like hell on earth.
Riding on the slope, Gao Pin looked in the direction of the first slope. He seemed to be talking to himself, "Huyan Wuhen, do you dare to come?"
On the slope, Xuan Wei and the others galloped over. Xuan Wei exclaimed, "General, why haven't you ordered a retreat?"
Huyan Wuhen said in a deep voice, "I've repeatedly calculated the forest in front of us. It's not large enough, and the fire won't last long. As long as the cultivators do their best to open up a path of fire, and the soldiers charge with all their might, we can definitely kill our way through!"
The head of the Void Spirit Manor, Chang Linxian, said loudly, "Why don't we wait for the fire to die down before charging? Are you trying to make use of the Great Jin Army to exterminate the Wei Kingdom's troops? "
"What a joke!" Huyan Wuhen was disdainful. He raised his hand and pointed to both sides. "Look at the two sides of the slope. The mountains are sandwiched between them. The Jin army has already sent some troops to stop us from climbing. Now that the main force of the Jin army is at the front, if we wait for the fire to die down here, the Jin army will definitely split up their troops to climb up the mountain. "
"The two slopes in front of us are too densely packed with troops. We can't unleash our full potential. If the Jin army split up their troops to attack us from both sides, have you thought about the consequences?"
Chang Linxian was speechless. The head of the Guardian Pavilion, Cang Feng, said angrily, "Then let the troops retreat first. What's the meaning of letting them charge into the sea of fire?"
Huyan Wuhen immediately pointed at his nose and scolded, "Ridiculous! If our army retreats, do you think you can retake the slope? Why would a high-ranked soldier retreat to defend this place? Do you think he's an idiot? The real weakness of the three slopes are at the two sides. He only needs a small number of troops to defend the two sides of the slope. However, the width of the slope is limited. It's hard for a large number of troops to set up a formation on it. Once the front cannot be defended, he only needs to increase his troops to attack from both sides. With the archers shooting from above, our army will become a live target! "
"If he also attacks from the front, he can easily retake the slope. He can retreat repeatedly and attack again to deplete our troops! Now, we need to take advantage of the fact that he hasn't split his forces yet. Only then can we take down the three slopes in one go! "
Cang Feng was also left speechless.
Huyan Wuhen suddenly shouted, "Pass the order to the army at the front. Stabilize the formation and advance. Do not allow the Wei soldiers to retreat. Those who retreat will be killed. Force them to charge!"
Under his order, the Qi army advanced, assassinating or shooting the retreating Wei soldiers. This forced the Wei soldiers to find a way to survive.
The three big sects of Wei could only trust Huyan Wuhen. They ordered the Wei cultivators to open up a fire path.
Xuan Wei's eyes brimmed with tears at the tragic scene in front. Tang Yi, who was beside her, was also worried. A portion of the Shanghai Sect's disciples also rushed to the front.
At this moment, the Wei people understood that Huyan Wuhen's move was not to use the Qi soldiers' lives to fill the gap. Instead, he wanted to use the Wei soldiers' lives to open up a path.
The Wei cultivators desperately tried to extinguish the fire and open up a fire path.
As soon as the fire was extinguished, the fire arrows from above and the smashing oil tanks ignited the fire again. The Wei soldiers who rushed in were trapped in a sea of fire, howling in pain.
The air was filled with the smell of burnt flesh and blood. Thick smoke billowed into the sky. The Wei soldiers suffered countless casualties, including those shot by the Qi army.
The cultivators who forcefully opened up a fire path gradually found a solution. They used their spells to shatter the burnt trees, and as expected, the fire quickly weakened.
Faced with the Qi army's slaughter, the Wei soldiers finally found a way to survive. They stepped on the burnt wood and rushed up the second slope with all their might.
Arrows and steel spears rained down from the slope again, causing endless screams. Countless corpses fell and rolled down the slope. The people below were still stepping on the corpses as they rushed up.
"Huyan Bao!" Huyan Wuhen suddenly shouted.
His eldest son, Huyan Bao, immediately led his horse forward and cupped his hands. "I'm here!"
Huyan Wuhen pointed at the second slope. "The number of high-ranked soldiers is limited. They won't fight us head-on. His real defense is on the third slope. Later, the army will press forward with all their might. He will definitely give the order to retreat and defend the third slope. Then, he will divide his forces and attack from two sides. He's luring us in, but he doesn't know that this is a good opportunity for our army to take down the third slope. Order the Valiant Cavalry to be ready to attack. Once the Jin army abandons the second slope, the Valiant Cavalry will attack immediately. While the Jin army has not fully retreated, we will force the third slope to come to their aid. Once a chaotic battle breaks out, the third slope will be broken with our advantage in numbers! "
The leaders of the three major sects looked at each other and saw hope again. After listening to Gao Peng's words, they realized that when it came to war, it was still this group of people who could do it.
"I understand!" Huyan Bao cupped his hands and accepted the order.
Gao Ping was expressionless as he faced the tragic scene below. He was used to this kind of scene.
A cultivator flew down from a flying beast and landed on the second slope. He reported, "Marshal, the Valiant Cavalry is gathering behind the slope ahead!"
"Got it." Gao Ping waved his hand and waited for the man to leave. He sneered. "Looks like Jin Jue's method is really effective. Endure. Endure until the enemy can't take it anymore. Naturally, they will make the wrong move. They actually want to use cavalry to deal with me in the mountains. Huyan Wuhen, you really don't put me in your eyes at all! "
He raised his head and looked at the enemy flying beasts patrolling in the sky. He turned back and said, "Elder Taishu, you can inform the mages to get ready now."
"Yes!" The elder beside him nodded and was about to leave.
Gao Ping raised his hand to stop him and pointed upwards. "The enemy's eyes are watching us from above. You must wait until our army retreats and then make your move. You must not let the enemy notice. Faced with the general trend, Huyan Wuhen's retreat is a foregone conclusion. Whether we can injure him before he retreats depends on this battle. You must do it properly. Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving face to the elder. Military law doesn't recognize people! "
The elder said, "Rest assured, Lord Gao. I will do my best. If there are any mistakes, I will be willing to lead the army!"
Gao Ping nodded. "Good! I'm counting on you. "
