The commander in disguise nodded, turned around, and gestured to his team.
One of the members of the team released four golden wings, while the other six spread out in a ring formation on the mountaintop, facing in all directions. Each of them took out a bone flute. The bone flutes in the six people's hands were different, and they placed them by their mouths to play.
There were whooshing sounds, beeping sounds, and weak sounds that were hard to distinguish.
The hundred thousand people on the Immortal Mountain panicked. Someone shouted, "Snakes!"
So many snakes! It was not just snakes. Many rats crawled out of the holes in the corners. All kinds of bugs and ants crawled out of the mountain. More and more of them came out.
All kinds of snakes, insects, rats, and ants appeared, making everyone's scalps go numb.
The terrified people had nowhere to run. However, they soon realized that as long as they did not move, the snakes, insects, rats, and ants would circle around them. This shocked and frightened them.
The snakes, insects, rats, and ants seemed to crawl out of the Immortal Mountain. They gradually gathered and swarmed in all directions.
Snakes, insects, rats, and ants kept crawling out of the battlefield. Both sides were in a frenzy and did not think much of it at first. When they realized that there were more and more of them, both sides were in a mess. Snakes kept coming to bite you, mice kept jumping up and biting you, insects kept crawling on you, crawling into your clothes and biting you, and there were also insects crawling into your ears and nose. It was a feeling that made people go crazy.
Some people kicked and slapped, some dodged, and some jumped around.
"Attack!" Chen Shaotong, who was watching the battle from the mountain, shouted.
The Song army started to force the soldiers to ignore the snakes, insects, rats, and ants. The law enforcers started killing!
The Song army had a new discovery. They realized that the snakes, insects, rats, and ants were not attacking them. They only attacked the Yan soldiers. This raised the morale of the Song army.
The Yan army was in a mess. The Song army took advantage of the situation to attack.
It was not just the snakes, insects, rats, and ants. More and more birds appeared in the sky. All kinds of birds flew toward the Yan army and the Yan soldiers.
The Yan army could not defend against the Song army's attacks.
The battle became one-sided. Chen Shaotong pulled out his sword and pointed at the command center of the Yan army. "Meng Shanming might be over there. Everyone, please!"
A group of cultivators soared into the sky, heading straight for the enemy's general's flag.
Su Qitong was stupefied. The great army under him had just attacked Immortal Mountain from all sides, yet they were already in this type of situation. This was something he never expected even in his wildest dreams.
There were also a large number of snakes, insects, rats, and ants around them. All kinds of birds swooped down from the sky and attacked them without any regard for their lives.
With a large number of cultivator guards around them, these disturbances didn't affect the high-ranking generals. The cultivators would deal with them, but the soldiers under them didn't have it so good. They were waving their swords and slashing about.
"Retreat!" Meng Shan Ming, who was holding the armrest, shouted resolutely.
Gong Lince stood by his side, personally guarding him. Occasionally, he would sweep away some things with a wave of his sleeve, his face ashen.
A swarm of bees came out of nowhere and stung anyone they saw.
Clang! Clang! Clang! The Yan Army began to flee frantically. People ran and bumped into each other. This was not a normal way of retreating. It was a mess.
Someone ran with a venomous snake attached to his body. Before he could run far, he started foaming at the mouth and staggered to the ground.
Gradually, ferocious beasts came from the direction they were retreating. Five or six ferocious tigers roared and charged into the crowd, pouncing on people and biting them.
There was also a pack of wolves that charged into the crowd and tore at people.
The Song Army, who were chasing after them, waved their swords at anyone they saw, as if they were cutting vegetables.
At this moment, the Yan Army was in complete chaos. Not only were the people in a mess, but even the golden wings that were released flew back to attack their own people. They couldn't summon large birds to help them.
A group of Song Country cultivators rushed over. Although they didn't recognize Meng Shan Ming, the wheelchair was too easy to recognize. They attacked him crazily.
"Let's go!" Gong Lince shouted angrily. He personally grabbed Meng Shan Ming and led a group of Yan Country cultivators to retreat while fighting.
In an instant, protecting Meng Shan Ming became the most important thing for the cultivators. The soldiers under them couldn't do anything even if they wanted to. There were too many people and not enough cultivators.
The golden wings couldn't be released, and they couldn't even call for help. Some cultivators had to leave first to find help.
A group of cultivators protected Meng Shan Ming and fought their way out of the forest. The Song Country cultivators didn't give up even after they reached the plains.
For this battle, Chen Shaotong came prepared. He had prepared a lot of powerful cultivators. Obviously, he was determined to kill Meng Shan Ming!
On the other hand, the Yan Country cultivators had to escape with their important generals. Their speed was affected and they couldn't get rid of the Song Country cultivators.
They held on until the other cultivators of the Yan Country received the news and rushed over to help. They managed to force the Song Country cultivators to retreat and rescue Meng Shan Ming and the others.
These important generals had escaped. In fact, they abandoned hundreds of thousands of their men and ran away!
They ran away, but the hundreds of thousands of men and horses were not so lucky. They were harassed by birds, beasts, and poisonous insects. Coupled with the fact that they were being chased by the soldiers, it was easy to imagine what would happen to them.
In the wilderness, a group of thousands of Yan Country cavalrymen arrived and stopped. Meng Shan Ming sat on the back of his horse and looked in the direction of the battle expressionlessly.
Su Qitong's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets as he stood on his sword and waited. He watched as the people ran back and finally escaped from the battlefield.
Out of the five hundred thousand men, only about ten thousand came back. Some of them fell to the ground as soon as they came back. Their faces were blue and twitching because they were bitten by poisonous snakes.
Some of them had swollen faces and swollen hands and feet because they were stung by poisonous bees and insects.
The cultivators quickly went up to them and gave them first aid.
By the time the reinforcements arrived, there were no more Yan soldiers who had participated in the battle. Everyone knew that they would never be able to return.
They didn't even dare to send out big birds to check the situation. They were afraid that the birds would go out of control. The two birds that were sent out earlier never came back.
Five hundred thousand men were gone just like that!
Su Qitong knelt down on the grass with his sword. He faced the battlefield and his lips trembled.
This was the first time in his life that he abandoned hundreds of thousands of soldiers and ran away. He wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
The elder of Xiao Yao Palace, Shen Yuhong, who had taken over the power in Haozhou, bared his teeth and looked at Su Qitong with hatred. He was angry at Su Qitong for not striving for success.
He wasn't angry that Hao Zhou didn't fight, but he was angry that Hao Zhou didn't know how to fight and retreat. He insisted on rushing to attack. In the end, in this battle, the Hao Zhou's army was almost completely annihilated!
On the horse, Meng Shanming said with a dark face, "Birds, beasts, snakes, insects, rats, and ants are helping the Song army. Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
Gong Lince said word by word: "Wan Shou Faction!"
Meng Shan Ming had the same guess, but he still had some doubts. "Don't the Wan Shou Faction never get involved in the conflicts between kingdoms?"
Gong Lince's expression twitched. How could he explain the reason now?
Meng Shanming asked again, "Is there any way to resolve it?"
Gong Lince replied, "I'll think of something later."
Meng Shanming looked towards the direction of the battle. Slowly, he said: "This Chen Shaotong is indeed capable!"
Although Chen Shaotong had received help from the Hao Zhou army, he only managed to kill five hundred thousand of the Yan army because they fell into Chen Shaotong's trap. If not, the snakes, insects, rats, and ants wouldn't be able to cause so many casualties. If they were fighting on flat land, it would be difficult for the Hao Zhou army to gather so many venomous creatures. It was unknown whether the Hao Zhou army had prepared such a large number of venomous creatures in advance.
From the beginning, Chen Shaotong had made up his mind to kill a large number of the Yan army. For this, he didn't hesitate to send his soldiers to their deaths as bait. In the end, they fell into his trap and Chen Shaotong got what he wanted.
"Retreat!" Meng Shanming turned his horse around and gave the order to retreat.
As for killing the Song army, before they could resolve the threat of the Hao Zhou army, they shouldn't even think about it. It was good enough that the Hao Zhou army didn't look for trouble with them.
…
"General, Meng Shanming had too many powerful guards with him. Even the Purple Gold Cave Sect Master of the Yan Kingdom, Gong Lince, was with him. Yet, he still managed to escape."
The Song cultivators returned. One of them walked up to Chen Shaotong and cupped his fists in apology.
"It's good that we managed to kill Meng Shanming. It's natural that he had many powerful guards around him. It's not surprising that he managed to escape. Elder Liu and the other sorcerers did their best." Although Chen Shaotong was filled with regret, he still cupped his fists in consolation. He saw that many of the cultivators were injured. Some were even being carried back with severe injuries.
On the battlefield, the snakes, insects, rats, insects, birds, and beasts gradually dispersed. Chen Shaotong led his men to patrol the battlefield and saw corpses everywhere!
The final results were out. In this battle, the Yan army had killed almost five hundred thousand of their enemies. They had also lost about a hundred thousand men.
The Yan army suffered a crushing defeat. One of the Song army's generals asked excitedly, "General, why didn't you follow up with another attack?"
"We no longer have the chance to win this battle!" Chen Shaotong looked up to the sky and sighed.
He knew that if they were to chase after the Yan army, the snakes, insects, rats, and ants would not be able to follow them. They would not be of much use. Given the quality of the Yan army, it would be suicide for them to chase after the Yan army. It was impossible to lure the Yan army into a trap. The Yan army was not stupid.
This was the reason why he was willing to pay a heavy price to lure the Yan army into a trap. He knew that the same opportunity would not come again. Once he made his move, he would deal a heavy blow to the Yan army. Not only would he wipe out a large number of the Yan army, but he would also deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Yan army so that the Yan army would not dare to provoke him again.
From the start, he did not expect these motley crew to be able to wipe out the two million elites of the Yan army. He wanted to win a beautiful battle to explain himself to his superiors. Then, he wanted to stall the Yan army until Luo Zhao's army arrived.
With this battle as a deterrent, he dared to lead the Yan army to chase after the Yan army.
…
In the forest, after hearing the news from Gongsun Bu, Niu Youdao slowly turned around and said in surprise, "Crushing defeat? Did the Wan Shou Faction attack? "
He did not dare to believe that Meng Shan Ming, who was so good at fighting, would be defeated by the hundreds of thousands of Song soldiers.
"Yes, they lost five hundred thousand men in one battle. Take a look at it yourself." Guan Fangyi passed him the piece of paper and sighed.
Niu Youdao looked at the paper and frowned. He mumbled, "Why would the Wan Shou Faction interfere in this battle?"
