Chapter 300: The Army's Turmoil

Kill

Mu Yi stood upon the first one's body, using mental wave large-range transmission of his slogan, scarlet light burst forth, as dazzling as a red sun.

The will of revenge was highly unified; they had only one thought: to kill the enemy and take revenge.

Relying on this will of revenge, Mu Yi for the first time used an Independent Conviction Region in reality.

The scarlet light descended like a cover from above the head.

The Mongol commander enveloped in it instantly felt a chill, and he personally experienced that will of revenge.

"All soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

The army let out a roar and followed Mu Yi as they slaughtered their way into the city's Mongol troops.

"Legion attack!"

The City Defense Commander himself was quite excellent, not only possessing formidable combat strength but also outstanding military acumen.

Facing the risen will of revenge, he unconsciously stepped back a pace, but after reacting, the City Defense Commander swiftly combined the Mongol troops' Cloud Energy and hurled a legion attack at Mu Yi.

The Mongol soldiers corrupted by Eternal Heaven's power felt no fear; they had become puppets of power, acting only on orders.

"Command!"

Although Mu Yi's troops were newly recruited conscripts, at this moment their will was like iron and highly cohesive, making them quite an excellent legion by any measure.

Facing this wave of legion attack from the City Defense Commander, they directly formed a Cloud Energy shield, bore it head-on, then roared as they charged to the front of the Mongol soldiers.

"Open it for me!"

The soldiers blazing with revenge fire roared and swung down a blade.

The Mongol soldier before them, despite blocking the first strike, suddenly had a dazed expression, his movements distorted, and was slain on the spot.

The revenge fire ignited by Blazing Ash Fire is more explosive and overt than the intangible weakening power of Blazing Ash Fire itself.

The revenge flame wrapped around the weapon is not real, but upon collision it directly attacks the will.

Even these Mongol soldiers whose souls have been twisted cannot escape this terrifying attack.

After slaying the Mongol soldiers, the revenge fire on the soldiers' bodies became even more explosive.

Revenge, endless.

The blazing revenge fire drove them to frenziedly charge toward the opposing crowd.

Several Mongol soldiers noticed this frenzied avenger.

Without further words, they lunged straight at the avenger.

However, shortly thereafter they saw more spears thrusting out from behind the avenger.

With the will of revenge unified, the troops' cooperation required only a single thought to execute; although they had only learned basic battle coordination, this textbook-like rigid and clumsy way of fighting often could unleash their full strength.

Like motions engraved in bodily instinct, coordinating with this simple thrust, they easily blocked the movements of several Mongol soldiers, then, ignited by the revenge fire, pierced their bodies.

The avenger acting as bait swept his long blade horizontally, beheading those several Mongol soldiers outright, then without further ado led his comrades to charge at the next enemy.

The battlefield is never a place for lone warriors to charge recklessly; only by coordinating with comrades can one unleash the proper momentum in killing.

Advance, advance, keep advancing, no need to consider anything else, just follow orders forward until all enemies are burned to ashes.

"Release arrows!"

The Mongol officer whose mind was still clear issued the order immediately upon seeing the one-sided battle line.

The Mongol officer, also a part of the Military Strategist school, clearly understood that aside from a few legions, most legions cannot achieve perfection; after pushing one aspect to its extreme, they will inevitably lack another.

And at this moment, these enemies blazing with revenge fire are so formidable that their defenses must have flaws.

In an instant the arrow storm erupted, dropping over a hundred revenge soldiers in a flash; even with Asura Armor's aid, lacking innate defensive talent, they were indeed relatively fragile.

However, as long as they were not struck in a vital spot, those revenge soldiers who died on the spot quickly shook off their wounds under the restorative effect of Blazing Ash Fire and returned to battle.

Moreover, the flames of those slain soldiers continued to spread with Cloud Energy, falling upon fellow revenge fighters and making them stronger.

A dense volley of arrows fell, completely drawing Mu Yi's attention: "You Mongols have arrow rain? We do too."

"Yi Yu Luo! Attack the enemy's ranged units!"

Mu Yi shouted loudly, and the previously stationary ranged units swiftly began to counterattack.

In just a moment, they silenced the Mongol side's ranged forces.

Within the Independent Conviction Region set up by Mu Yi, it is not merely a simple suppression of will; it can achieve a more idealistic effect.

The archers led by Yi Yu Luo, at the moment the arrows are released, idealistic power adds a homing property to them, each arrow striking the enemy's vital point as if it had eyes.

Moreover, the Independent Conviction Region's enhancement goes further; the all‑field boost lets this group's archery reach remarkably extraordinary effects, in a volley exchange of arrow storms, the Sun‑shooting Battalion's soldiers under Yi Yu Luo's leadership directly suppressed the opposition with overwhelmingly powerful arrows.

Unlike ordinary elite arrows that can be brute‑forced, the Sun‑shooting Battalion's attack is extremely violent.

The Sun‑shooting Battalion's archers are positioned as a heavy firepower unit; without needing to use first‑gift will to lock on, they can unleash the full potential of the second‑gift's focused explosive force.

Anyone hit by such an attack, even if not a vital spot, will instantly explode in the next moment, blasting the target into a lump of rotten flesh.

Trying to block such arrows is extremely difficult; although some units skilled in defense and parrying can stop them, this certainly does not include the Mongol troops inside the city, nor the Mongol ranged archers.

At that moment the Mongol side was in utter disarray; even at a distance of several hundred meters, the arrows could relatively easily take Mongol lives—basically, aside from certain iron‑clad leaders who could survive a non‑vital hit, ordinary soldiers died if merely grazed.

After silencing the ranged units, Yi Yu Luo went all‑out, coordinating with the revenge army to directly collapse the Mongol vanguard.

"General, retreat quickly; our vanguard has already collapsed, the enemy's combat power far surpasses ours, and our forces will be suppressed by ranged and melee attacks within a few breaths after engagement, then violently broken through!"

"The gap in combat power between the sides is truly enormous; we can at most resist another quarter hour before being crushed!"

The vanguard officer roared while reporting the situation to the City Defense Commander.

The revenge army's advance was too fierce; the Mongol troops under their command could not withstand it, and were it not for the fact that these soldiers' souls have been twisted, they would already have begun large‑scale rout.

"Such a huge gap?"

Originally still gathering the city's Mongol civilians, intending to use their strength to bolster Cloud Energy, the City Defense Commander's face grew quite solemn.

By rights, those soldiers blessed by Eternal Heaven should have formidable individual combat strength, at least superior to the conscripted laborers opposing them.

Yet now they were easily routed by the Han army, unable even to buy the most basic time.

Could it be that in just one month, those soldiers who could only flee in panic under the butcher's knife have already surpassed the Mongols' elite?

However, reality didn't give him much time to think; unlike the vengeful army obsessed with annihilating the enemy, Ao Mo had already brought Mu Yi's personal guard to the city defense commander's face.

Charge forward, take them out!

As Mu Yi's top commander, Ao Mo wielded the Stabilizing Sea Spear, roaring as he swept sideways, directly sending several Mongol soldiers flying before him; his fierce aura, in this situation, made him seem like a god or demon.

Under Ao Mo's leadership, Mu Yi's personal guard erupted in a wave, directly shattering the Mongol front's established interception line into fragments.

Damn it, don't even think! Arrow barrage suppression! Arrow barrage suppression!

A dense hail of arrows directly covered Ao Mo and his men; before they could continue firing, the Sun-shooting Battalion in the distance, guided by Mu Yi's will, began to target them for elimination.

The ranged unit that had just suppressed Ao Mo's group's advance was once again knocked silent.

Seeing the enemy's ranged unit silenced, Ao Mo on the spot roared and charged toward the second line of defense, while the elite soldiers behind him also shouted loudly as they followed Ao Mo into the Mongols' second line.

Like a hot knife through butter, in almost a single breath he sliced a huge gap in the Mongol line that had been painstakingly built.

Contract the flanks, squeeze the passage!

Seeing Ao Mo's unstoppable momentum, having torn apart the second line, the city defense commander no longer cared about anything, regardless of exposing his position, he roared directly, must block Ao Mo's charge.

Otherwise, letting them charge like that would truly break through their formation.

The city defense commander's roar, however, had no intention of personally facing Ao Mo; he merely had his subordinates engage Ao Mo, even though this command looked more like sending men to their deaths.

However, generally speaking, in the course of directing a war, commanders do not expose their positions.

After all, the commander-in-chief is the head of the three armies; once beheaded, it could directly cause the entire battlefield army to collapse.

As long as one remains at the level of an ordinary person, commanders basically would not choose to expose their positions.

But hiding oneself is a skill, not something you can do just by wanting to; the city defense commander's dispatch entirely aims to preserve the central army.

The pressure brought by Ao Mo caused his own formation to fall into disarray.

Simply by sensing the shift in command lines, Mu Yi easily locked onto his position within the central army.

"Found him! Chang Haoran! Kill him for me!"

Mu Yi quickly discovered the city defense commander's position, then, through willful guidance, had Ao Mo go behead him.

Chang Haoran pulled his warhorse; the dragon horse beneath him reared up, and then a bowl-sized hoof came down directly on the opposing Mongol soldier, trampling him to death.

"Iron cavalry! Charge!"

After receiving the order, Chang Haoran could immediately lead the cavalry behind him in a formation-breaking charge.

Without considering who the opponent ahead is, without considering losses, following the direction given by Mu Yi, they launched a desperate charge.

The trembling force accompanied by the dull thud of hooves made the Mongol soldiers near the shock cavalry feel as if they had encountered an earthquake; the slight ground tremor made them unsteady, unable to stop the cavalry charge.

Watching this small cavalry unit draw ever closer to himself.

"Ranged unit suppression..."

The city defense commander, about to roar, turned ashen-faced; his ranged forces were already few, and having been continuously sniped by the Sun-shooting Battalion, now only a handful remained, utterly unable to organize effective ranged suppression.

"You bunch of bastards, do you really think I'm afraid of you!"

Taking another look at Ao Mo, who was about to shatter the defense line, the city defense commander abandoned thought, taking his personal guard behind him to launch a countercharge.

The city defense commander, already 2.56 meters tall, at this moment his muscles bulged, his stature instantly reaching three to four meters; the mace that originally required two hands to wield became a one-handed stick.

"Die!"

He hefted the mace in his hand; compared to the long-handled mace that was somewhat awkward to grip in a normal stance, it now felt very comfortable in his hand.

Chang Haoran, face dark, thrust his spear forward; the now-giant city defense commander had no defense, bore the attack head-on, then swung the mace at himself.

Although he used the shock impact, after the spear tip pierced the opponent's skin it had no further effect; though the shock force was transmitted via the spearhead into the opponent's body, seeing the opponent motionless showed that this shock force caused no injury at all.

The city defense commander's ferocious face brought the mace down; his viscera hard-resisting the shock sounded utterly unreasonable.

But for him, an officer who had already received the blessing of Longevity Heaven and retained self-awareness, it was completely not a problem.

There were no fancy special effects, but the wind sound of the mace coming down was enough to feel oppressive; Chang Haoran took a deep breath, forced his strength, trying to pierce the opponent before the attack landed.

Dodging was impossible; with such a huge weapon smashing down and sweeping sideways, he had nowhere to dodge.

Better to just take it head-on and hope for a break.

"Pfft!"

However, before Chang Haoran could exert force, the opponent seized his spear with one hand and smashed the mace down with the other; in a single strike, Chang Haoran and his horse flew backward like a torn sack.

After rolling twice on the ground, Chang Haoran spat a mouthful of bloody foam, struggled to his feet, writhed twice, then collapsed helplessly to the ground.

If not for his heavy armor and the talent for heavy-armor defense, this blow would have been enough to completely blast him apart.

Watching the city defense commander, like a monster, he bore the attacks of his subordinates' personal guard head-on, then hammered them apart one by one.

Even knowing his subordinates wouldn't die completely, this scene still counts as brutal.

"Damn it, this thing is actually a Legend!"

Chang Haoran lay on the ground with a grim expression; when he first followed Mu Yi he was only a rank-14 warrior, now he is rank-18, yet facing a Legend he still has little chance of survival.

Under this Cloud Energy, although he could withstand the opponent's attacks, defeating them remained unrealistic.

However, compared to before when they had only a single strike's power, they can now inflict damage on a Legend.

Watching soldiers fall one after another, leaving wounds on the city defense commander, Chang Haoran struggled to rise from the ground, gripped his spear tightly, and launched another charge.

Even if it means death, I will take a bite of flesh from you.
