Chapter 968 Battle! Flying Tiger Commander—Indestructible!
"This subordinate obeys! But..."
The clanging of armor echoed from inside the tent. Tan Mengjun clasped his hands together, and the wrist guards struck each other, sparks flying.
"The Hengzhou Army of the Duke of Zhenguo..."
He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Su Ye. They were not at ease leaving the Hengzhou army behind them.
"Su will naturally lead his troops to provide support."
"However, Hulu Valley is narrow, and the horses of Hengzhou are precious, so let's leave them outside the valley to conduct guerrilla warfare."
With a flick of his sleeves, Su Ye visualized the black iron masks of the three thousand White Horse Cavalry troop arrayed in his mind.
Gu Changqing's eyelids twitched slightly. The words of this Duke of Zhenguo were a reminder to everyone: the 60,000 Hengzhou troops under his command had always been an independent force.
"That's excellent, thank you for your trouble, Duke."
Gu Changqing stared at him for a long time, then suddenly nodded.
At the third watch of the night, the loyalist army of the Great Qian Dynasty marched towards Calabash Valley like a giant dragon wagging its tail.
The silver armor of Wuxiongwei rippled in the moonlight, and the rock-gray battle robes of Chongyanwei blended into the night. Only the crimson battle flag of Tan Mengjun's army, which was suppressing the rebellion, fluttered like blood in the night wind.
"Lord Su, what if I don't return tomorrow..."
Inside the central command tent, Gu Changqing carefully wrapped the Qiankun Twin Swords in brocade. The old general's scarred fingers stroked the sword tassels, and he suddenly sighed softly.
"Grand Tutor, you jest."
"If you die in battle, this great Qian dynasty will probably truly be changed to the Yellow Turbans."
Su Ye was gently wiping the Chun Jun sword, his ambiguous smile reflected on the blade.
Suddenly, the mournful hooting of an owl came from outside the tent, followed by the rapid sound of horses' hooves.
"Grand Tutor! Enemy tracks have been discovered in Calabash Valley!"
"Yellow Turban rebel general Liang Fang led 30,000 elite troops of the Azure Dragon Legion to ambush at the East Cliff, while Qiao Shefei led Yellow Turban warriors and a portion of the Azure Dragon Legion to guard the West Cliff!"
The messenger rolled down in front of the tent, three eagle-feathered arrows stuck in his armor.
"Where is Meng Zhang?"
Gu Changqing suddenly stood up, causing the teacup on the general's desk to overturn, and the tea soup to meander into a yellow dragon on the sand tray.
"The enemy commander's banner... has appeared on the highest peak of the western cliff!"
Su Ye's sword-wiping motion suddenly stopped, and the blade of Chun Jun trembled like a dragon's roar.
His gaze toward the sand table suddenly deepened, as if he could see the murderous aura surging above Calabash Valley through the tent.
"It seems Meng Zhang is determined to have a decisive battle here."
Gu Changqing fastened the two swords back to his waist, the copper studs on his Qilin armor gleaming coldly in the torchlight.
"Order Wuxiong Guard to immediately switch from cavalry to infantry upon encountering an ambush, advancing in a shield wall; Chongyan Guard to cling to the cliffs and use oil canisters to burn the enemy's deer antlers; General Tan to lead the Red Armor Army from the main pacification force straight into the valley, cutting off the enemy's retreat!"
As Tan Mengjun responded, the crisp sound of clashing weapons could be heard outside the tent.
Su Ye lifted the tent flap and saw that the beacon fires in the night sky had formed three red chains, illuminating Hulu Valley as bright as day.
"Grand Tutor, should we send someone to inform Prince Si Yan?"
He suddenly turned to Gu Changqing and said.
"No need!"
"I will personally tell Meng Zhang about this battle—"
Gu Changqing had donned a scarlet battle robe, and two flames burned in the old general's cloudy pupils.
"What is the Great Qian Dynasty's God of War!"
He wielded the sword with one hand, its blade flashing like a silver dragon emerging from the abyss!
...
The valley entrance was almost within reach. The vanguard of the Wuxiong Guard clashed with the Qinglong Army's cavalry. Amidst the clanging of metal weapons, Li Jingyuan, the commander of the Wuxiong Guard, heard a familiar, sinister laugh coming from the cliff.
"Dry dogs! You've fallen for their trap!"
Li Jingyuan stared expressionlessly at the torches falling like stars on the cliffs on both sides, a cold smile playing on his lips.
Suddenly, the central command flag was raised high, and eight black iron shields unfolded with a clatter, completely surrounding the central army.
"Give the order to the entire army!"
"Formation Change - Black Python Devours the Heavens!"
"I Summon Famous Generals from All History in Another World" - Stunning writing style and a thrilling plot!
Li Jingyuan's voice came through the shield, carrying a metallic hum.
In an instant, the infantry of Wuxiong Guard formed a square formation, while Chongyan Guard climbed the mountain rocks and laid down a net that surged into the valley like a blood-red torrent.
"Do you really think that old fox Gu Changqing will fall into our trap?"
Not far from Calabash Valley, Meng Zhang stopped his horse on the western cliff and looked at the beacon fires in the valley that were gradually brightening like daytime. Suddenly, he said to a burly man beside him.
"He will."
"Because he knew that if they lost this battle, the fate of the Great Qian Dynasty... would be sealed!"
The burly man was intently wiping a battle axe in his hand, his palm trembling slightly with excitement.
A mountain wind suddenly rose, and Meng Zhang's cloak billowed up like smoke rising into the sky.
"Commander-in-Chief, General Li asks when to light the beacon fires."
The guards led Meng Zhang's snow-covered black horse to him.
"Tell Cunxiao that when Gu Changqing's vanguard enters the third bend of Hulu Valley, set off a signal fire."
Meng Zhang mounted his horse, the night wind ruffling the blue dragon pattern on his bright yellow battle robe.
"In this battle, I will show the world that the Yellow Turban Army can not only breach cities, but also slay gods!"
Before the words were finished, a crimson firework suddenly exploded in the northwest sky, blooming into a hideous ghost face in the night sky.
"It seems Si Cangqiong's 'corpse' has been delivered to Gu Changqing's army. Good!"
"Let's go and meet this Great Qian Dynasty's military genius, and see if his Martial Might Guard's iron armor is tougher, or if our Yellow Turban Warriors' axes are sharper!"
Meng Zhang squinted at the fireworks and ghostly faces in the night sky, then suddenly clapped his hands and burst into laughter.
With Meng Zhang's command, the remaining 150,000 troops beside him suddenly accelerated, the sound of hooves shaking the ground, like the beating of countless war drums.
...
"kill!"
At the same time, smoke billowed into the sky within Calabash Valley, as the vanguards of the two armies clashed violently in the narrow valley like two torrents of steel.
"Ding! Liang Lin's skill Unbreakable has been activated!"
Unbreakable: The world trembles where the twin hammers dance, and an impregnable fortress stands amidst ten thousand troops. This skill is exclusive to Liang Lin, the Flying Tiger General.
Effect 1: Unbreakable in all directions, increases attack power by 5 during combat, and adds an additional 1 attack power when defending with dual hammers.
Effect 2: Thunderclap Breaks Formation. When charging, attack power +4. After the double hammers hit the first target, the attack power of surrounding enemies is reduced by -1. After absorbing five or more attacks at the same time, the user's attack power is increased by an additional 2.
Effect 3: Unrelenting Berserk. After every ten rounds of battle, Strength increases by 1. When Health drops below 50%, the hammer technique switches to "Madman Combo," with each attack adding 1 point of Strength Suppression (stacks up to 3 times).
Effect 4: The Milky Way Reverses Its Path. After leaping into the air, the twin hammers fall like the Milky Way. When initiating an attack, the attack power increases by 3, and the attack power of enemies within range is suppressed by 1 point. If the attack power of the enemy general is hit, the attack power of all enemies will be reduced by an additional 1 point.
Liang Lin's current base martial prowess is 105. His weapon, the Lone Needle Bright Silver Hammer, grants him +1 martial prowess. His warhorse, the Galaxy Beast, grants him +1 martial prowess. When the first effect of his skill, Eight Desolations, is activated, his martial prowess increases by +5. When the second effect is activated, his martial prowess increases by +4. When the fourth effect is activated, his martial prowess increases by +3.
Liang and Lin's current combat strength is 119!
Liang Lin's lone, gleaming silver hammer sliced through the blood mist. The serrated tip of the hammer gleamed coldly in the morning light. Before the hammer even arrived, the force of the wind had already overturned the silver armor and helmets of three martial heroes.
The Azure Dragon Legion on both sides of the cliff pushed the rolling logs and boulders down like raindrops. The silver-armored cavalry of the Martial Hero Guard huddled together at the entrance of the valley, while the crossbowmen of the Heavy Rock Guard knelt between the rocks, their arrows whistling sharply as they pierced the air.
Li Jingyuan sat upright on Red Hare, his spear deflecting the rain of arrows like locusts. Sparks flew as the spear tip passed, and he even managed to cut three crossbow bolts embedded in the rock wall in half.
"Change formation! Chain attack!"
This General of the Left Guard, Wu Xiong, had a bristling beard and hair, and his muscles beneath his armor were as bulging as iron.
The three hundred heavily armored cavalrymen behind him suddenly dismounted and linked their specially made iron chains together in pairs, instantly forming a moving Great Wall of Steel.
"You bastards from Chongyanwei! Block the mountain path for me!"
Zhao Tieshan wielded his Xuanhua axe, splitting open the rock wall. Amidst the flying debris, a passage was cleared for the right-wing cavalry. The roar of this Right Guard General caused the crows perched on the beams to fall to the ground.
