"Retreat! Retreat now!"
At the same time, Li Jingyuan, who was also seriously injured, helped Zhong Song’s burly body up and roared as he waved his arms. The silver-armored cavalrymen who had been fighting from the beginning quickly protected the two of them and retreated like a tide.
"There are mad dogs hidden within the Yellow Turban Army, dogs capable of biting through the sun and moon..."
"Heaven's mandate is not in Qian's hands... what can be done?"
"Has Heaven truly ceased to favor the Great Qian Dynasty?"
Gu Changqing watched this scene from under the general's banner, the blood dripping slowly from the groove on the golden-inlaid knife, turning crimson.
At this moment, the morning light was penetrating the narrowest part of Calabash Valley, casting a long shadow of Ru Shou. The two battle axes in the hands of the golden-armored general were dripping with blood as he entangled with Si Yan in the arena.
Meng Zhang chuckled under the banner, the scales on his Azure Dragon Armor gleaming with a faint light.
"Shouldn't the Wuxiong Guard's Xuanxiang Formation be broken by now?"
He looked at the right wing of the Qian army, which was beginning to retreat, and suddenly raised his voice.
Before the words were finished, a series of angry roars suddenly came from the southeast of Calabash Valley. There, many Yellow Turban warriors in the Yellow Turban army were bare-chested, raising their heavy weapons high, ready to attack!
"Grand Tutor!"
"The Yellow Turban Army is launching a final assault!"
Li Jingyuan, covered in blood, rushed back to the central army.
Gu Changqing stared at the blood-red markings on the map spread out before him and suddenly recalled Su Ye's words from last night: "feint to the east while attacking in the west."
His withered fingers traced the positions of the Wuxiong Guards, and suddenly he plunged the golden-inlaid sword heavily into the map.
"Issue the order: switch the Nine Palaces formation from defense to offense."
"Mysterious Formation..."
The veteran looked at the retreating right flank and his voice suddenly became hoarse.
"Change to a wedge formation!"
The commander's flag suddenly turned, and the retreating Qian army abruptly stopped. The crossbow carts of the Chongyan Guard suddenly changed direction, the sound of their winches rising and falling, and a rain of arrows, like a dark cloud, poured down on the Yellow Turban army's central force.
"Grand Tutor Gu is indeed shrewd! That counterattack was brilliant!"
Meng Zhang, watching this scene from under the commander's flag, suddenly clapped his hands and burst into laughter.
"Commander Meng, it's time to unleash your secret weapon!"
Li Cunxiao's Yuwang Spear suddenly slammed heavily to the ground.
As Meng Zhang gazed at the battlefield, which had become a stalemate, the scales on his Azure Dragon Armor suddenly turned blood-red.
He suddenly removed the golden bell from the commander's flag. The clear, melodious sound of the bell carried for three miles amidst the sounds of battle.
At the same time, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the west side of Calabash Valley, and seventy-two yellow turban banners broke out of the ground, with star charts embroidered on them.
"The Azure Dragon raises its head, the Seven Stars return to their positions!"
The golden bell in Meng Zhang's hand shook the heavens, while the seventy-two star-shaped banners on the west side fluttered in the wind, shimmering with a deep blue light in the morning mist.
"Ding! Meng Zhang's skill 'Skyward Ascension' activated!"
Yutian: Of the four celestial spirits, the Azure Dragon of the East is the most revered, controlling wind, clouds, thunder, and lightning. It commands the heavens with its dragon might and leads the army with its dragon wisdom. This is the Azure Dragon's command skill.
Effect 1: Azure Dragon Descends, greatly reducing the morale of the entire enemy army and decreasing their intelligence by 1-3 points, while increasing the intelligence of all friendly troops by 1 point.
Effect 2: Dragon's Strategy - When the user is a deputy general, increases the intelligence and leadership of both the user and the main general by 1 point; when the user is the main general, increases the user's intelligence and leadership by 2 points; when the user is the commander of the entire army, increases the intelligence and leadership of all troops under the user by 1 point, and for every additional 200,000 troops, increases the user's intelligence and leadership by an additional 1 point (maximum additional 3 points).
Effect 3: Azure Dragon Soul. When on the Eastern battlefield, the entire friendly army gains the ability to launch a strategic counterattack. When attacked by enemy strategy, there is a certain probability that the troops under your command will automatically launch a strategic counterattack, triggering various luck events.
Effect 4: Azure Dragon Vein - greatly enhances the intelligence and learning ability of all friendly soldiers, enabling them to understand and master new tactics and strategies more quickly.
Effect 5: Spirit of the East, Suppressing the Eastern Pole. When in the East, suppress the enemy's command skills and monarch skills, except for the power boost effect, other weather and fortune-related effects.
Currently, Meng Zhang is the supreme commander of the Yellow Turban army in Luzhou, and as the main general, his base leadership is 104 and his base intelligence is 98. With the second effect of the Heavenly Decree activated, the main general's intelligence and leadership increase by 2. The Yellow Turban army he currently commands numbers 170,000, and his intelligence and leadership increase by an additional 1. Meng Zhang's intelligence has now risen to 101 and his leadership value has risen to 107!
Beneath the distant banners, ten thousand soldiers clad in dark blue dragon scale armor slowly formed ranks. The seams of their armor were inlaid with scale-like refined iron plates using Mohist mechanical techniques, which shimmered with a blue light as they moved with their steps, as if they were alive.
This Azure Dragon Heavenly Legion, which had been hidden away by Meng Zhang for three years after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, is now finally showing its ferocity!
Many of the cavalrymen in this Tianxu Legion rode the Five Bright Steeds, which were bred after the Yellow Turban Army of Luzhou specifically raided Luzhou.
This warhorse was entirely black except for its four snow-white hooves. It had a half-foot-long steel bit in its mouth and emitted a pale blue mist when it neighed.
"Horned Dragon, return to your position and obey my command!"
The lead general let out a long, sharp cry, and with a wave of his long arm, seven giant banners behind him fluttered in the wind, each banner embroidered with star totems, shining brightly in the morning light.
This horn-wielding general, who was as famous as Qiao Shefei in the Yellow Turban Army, had muscles as tough as iron all over his body. His armor was inlaid with a hundred bronze ghost masks. Every strike was accompanied by a mournful ghost howl. His black horse was named "Mo Lin" and his twelve-foot-long spear "Dragon Horn" gleamed coldly.
It was none other than Xiao Hanyi, the top general among the Twenty-Eight Constellations under Emperor Zhang Tianxuan in the original timeline, who was now intercepted by Meng Zhang!
Behind him, three thousand spearmen formed a "two-two mutual defense" formation, with four men in a group wielding "Starfall Spears" made by the Mohists. These spears could be freely assembled, ranging from five feet to twelve feet in length, with the tips coated with Cangwu oil, which would ignite upon contact with the wind.
"Kang Jinlong, heed my command! My men, follow me and break through the formation!"
On the right, General Kang Jinlong-Lu Zhixu urged his Five Bright Steeds to shatter the rocks, and the "Golden Dragon Horse-Slaying Saber" in his hand shone with a cold light.
The armor of this supreme general is the most peculiar, with two pairs of freely retractable steel claws growing from his shoulders. It was originally made in imitation of the legendary mechanical beast "fierce dragon". His two thousand short-range soldiers wield "coiled snake chain hammers". These weapons have chains that are seven feet long and hammerheads that are engraved with anti-armor teeth, making them specifically designed to counter heavily armored cavalry.
As Meng Zhang waved the command flag, the Azure Dragon Star Formation, a grand formation that Meng Zhang had specially prepared for this legion for many years, slowly unfolded, with the seven constellations each taking their place.
Jiao Mujiao led his spearmen in a "two-two mutual resistance" formation, like dragon horns piercing the sky; Kang Jinlong led short-range soldiers to flank from both sides, like a dragon's neck meandering and moving; Di Tuhao (Chen Yuan) wielded a giant axe and led heavy infantry, like dragon claws tearing through the enemy formation; Fang Ritu (Murong Xue) drew his bow and nocked an arrow, the rain of arrows falling like meteors, transforming into dragon's chest and heart-protecting scales; Xin Yuehu (Su Chan) wore light armor and led cavalry to charge in like flames, the momentum of dragon flames burning the sky; Wei Huohu (Li Tianxing) wielded a long halberd and led light cavalry to flank and cut off the enemy's retreat, like a dragon's tail sweeping across a thousand troops; Ji Shuibao (Zhong Lixu) led engineers to set up barriers and blockades, like a hidden dragon lurking in the abyss.
At this moment, the Azure Dragon Star Formation suddenly transformed into a dark blue torrent, with the Horned Spearmen piercing the morning mist like dragon horns and the Necked Chain Hammer Hands coiling upwards like dragon necks.
"Ding! Xiao Hanyi/Chen Yuan/Murong Xue... skill Constellation activated!"
Constellations: Constellations dance together, their might shaking the heavens. This is a skill exclusive to the Zhou Tian constellations, which can be upgraded to the Heavenly God Skill - Star God!
Effect 1: Star Power. After activation, Xiao Hanyi, who is a Horned Wood Dragon/Kang Golden Dragon, gains +4 in martial arts. This effect can be activated three times.
Effect 2: Eastern War God. When the battle takes place in the east, Jiao Mu Jiao, Kang Jin Long, and others will receive the power of the Azure Dragon of the East, gaining an additional +2 to their martial prowess.
Effect 3: Constellation Resonance. When on the same battlefield as the Azure Dragon of the East, the four attributes of the entire team (including the Horned Dragon and the Golden Dragon) are temporarily increased by 2.
Effect 4: Twenty-Eight Constellations. When all twenty-eight constellations gather on the battlefield, the combo skill "Twenty-Eight Constellations" can be activated, ignoring the user's usual negative effects.
Xiao Hanyi's current base attack power is 106. Her weapon, Dragon Horn, grants her +1 attack power, and her warhorse, Ink Scale, grants her +1 attack power. Xiao Hanyi's current skill, Constellation, activates twice, granting her +4 attack power. She is currently on the same battlefield as Azure Dragon, granting her an additional +2 to all four stats.
Xiao Hanyi's current combat power has risen to 118!
Lu Zhixu's current base combat strength is 105, and it has now increased to 117!
current..."
At that moment, the silver-armored cavalry of Wuxiong Guard were locked in a fierce battle with the Yellow Turban Army on the flank when they suddenly saw this large army attacking from the flank, and their formation was thrown into chaos.
Just as a captain was about to raise his sword as a warning, he was pierced by three meteor spears at the same time. The flames at the spear tips exploded, melting the armor of three of his comrades around him into molten iron.
"The dragon raises its head!"
Xiao Hanyi suddenly turned around, and the Horned Spearmen suddenly changed formation. The barricade formation, which was originally composed of four people, was instantly broken up. The spearmen in the front row suddenly lowered their bodies, and the soldiers in the back row stepped on their shoulders and jumped up, forming a three-layered spear curtain in their hands.
The momentum of Wu Xiongwei's charge was abruptly halted. A warhorse crashed into the barrage of spears and was simultaneously pierced by seventeen spears, sending its rider flying more than two zhang away.
