Chapter 166: Soft Persimmon Ruzhou

At the same time, the Yellow Turban Warriors also fought several times with the Great Qian Dao Soldiers—the Soul-Hooking Army they had previously clashed with on the Lu Zhou battlefield.

However, given that the Yellow Turban Warriors now had Zhang Jiao personally presiding over them.

Originally evenly matched, the situation suddenly began to turn.

The Yellow Turban Army, bolstered by Zhang Jiao's Way of Great Peace techniques, was as if they had taken drugs.

Repeatedly facing the Soul-Hooking Army lacking a War God Dharma Aspect of the same origin, they gained the upper hand.

Meanwhile, at another point on the Lu Zhou battlefield, the Yellow Turban Warriors and the Soul-Hooking Army among the Great Qian Dao Soldiers also launched a fierce clash.

These two armies had already clashed several times before, each deeply knowing the other's strength and tactics.

However, this clash was different from before, because the Yellow Turban Warriors now had Zhang Jiao personally presiding.

Zhang Jiao, founder of the Way of Great Peace, mastered its techniques, able to draw on Heaven and Earth's power to empower his troops, boosting their combat strength.

With his empowerment, the Yellow Turban Warriors seemed to be reborn, becoming more brave and fearless.

Their strength, speed, and endurance were greatly enhanced, as if they never tired.

With Zhang Jiao's empowerment, the Yellow Turban Warriors seemed reborn, becoming more brave and skilled in battle.

Each charge was as fierce as a sudden storm, making the Soul-Hooking Army hard to withstand.

Thus, facing the Yellow Turban Warriors' fierce assault, the Soul-Hooking Army lacking a War God leader of the same tier began to show signs of being overwhelmed.

Because their military Dharma Aspect and the Yellow Turban Warriors' Way of Great Peace techniques are not of the same origin.

Unable to counter each other, this put them at a disadvantage in battle.

After several clashes, the Soul-Hooking Army, though giving their all, could never turn the tide.

The Yellow Turban Warriors, under Zhang Jiao's empowerment, grew braver with each fight, each collision inflicting heavy losses on the Soul-Hooking Army.

Their morale also gradually waned over time, even showing signs of collapse.

However, the Soul-Hooking Army, after all being the Dao Soldiers of Great Qian's elite forces, did not give up.

Whenever the situation turned unfavorable, they could always quickly adjust tactics to find a breakthrough.

They began trying to sever the link between the Yellow Turban Warriors and Zhang Jiao, thereby weakening their combat strength.

However, all this was seen by Zhang Jiao.

But he did not stand idly by; instead, he personally intervened in the battle.

Using a secret method from the Way of Great Peace techniques, he strengthened the link with the Yellow Turban Warriors.

This enabled them to coordinate their actions more closely.

At the same time, he used Heaven and Earth's power to lay layer upon layer of formations, making it hard for the Soul-Hooking Army to easily breach the Yellow Turban Warriors' defenses.

Under Zhang Jiao's empowerment, the Yellow Turban Warriors' combat strength reached its peak.

Like a tiger descending the mountain, unstoppable.

The Soul-Hooking Army, though giving their all, could never withstand the Yellow Turban Warriors' fierce assault.

However, at this time Zhu Yuanzhang and others fiercely fighting Great Qian on the Lu Zhou battlefield were unaware.

Not long before, when Yin Yuanxun arrived.

But it wasn't just one person!

Including the Blue Blood Divine General Lan Youhai, who had been severely wounded by the Yellow Turban Army, also healed under Great Qian's various resources.

However, they did not appear on the Lu Zhou battlefield.

Instead, they were in Ruzhou!

The night was as dark as ink, the stars hidden behind heavy clouds, only occasional lightning tearing across the sky, briefly illuminating this grim land.

Under such cover, a squad of swift horses silently entered the main camp of the Great Qian army in Ruzhou.

The riders on horseback wore black cloaks, their faces blurred in the night, but the swords at their waists and bows on their backs gleamed with cold light, revealing an unignorable grim aura.

Inside the camp, Tan Mengjun anxiously waited.

As the Commander-in-Chief of Great Qian in Ruzhou, he bore a heavy responsibility; days of fighting had tightened his brow and filled his eyes with bloodshot veins.

But when the tent flap was lifted and a burly figure stepped inside, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and awe.

The visitor was none other than Great Qian's current First War God, the God-Slayer Nangong Tianxia, who holds second place on today's world rankings!

His arrival was like a meteor in the night sky—brief yet brilliantly dazzling.

Behind Nangong Tianxia followed two young people; though young, their brows already faintly bore the aura of a War God.

They were precisely Great Qian's two junior War Gods of the younger generation.

Soul-Annihilating War God Yang Yin, Azure Cloud Bow God Yun Xinrou.

They are currently the strongest among Great Qian's growing younger generation.

"Lord Nangong!"

Tan Mengjun hurried forward to greet him, performing a salute.

Nangong Tianxia waved his hand, indicating no need for much ceremony: "How goes the battle?"

His voice was low and powerful, as if each word contained the force of thunder.

"That scoundrel Huang Chao is extraordinarily cunning; our forces have launched multiple sorties yet gained no advantage."

Tan Mengjun gave a wry smile and shook his head.

Nangong Tianxia frowned slightly, but did not show too much surprise.

He had long learned from intelligence that Huang Chao was difficult to deal with.

This time he came in person precisely to break this stalemate.

"Tomorrow, I will personally lead the troops into battle."

He said calmly, "These Yellow Turban rebels in Ruzhou also need to be dealt with!"

Go after the soft persimmon!

Currently, Great Qian is not at a disadvantage on the Lu Province and Wu Province battlefields.

But it's not even close to having an advantage.

And as for Wu Province, just forget it.

With the arrival of the Violent Dragon God and others, the injury of Yun Cheng Wan Peng-Kong Jin, who had been severely wounded by Si Yan's single blow earlier, is now recovering.

Si Yan, now in Wu Province, is barely holding on alone.

If it weren't for Si Yan having recently seized the opportunity to advance to Heavenly God General...

He barely managed to coordinate with Tang Zhong and a few others to hold on.

Great Qian's War God in Wu Province had long been defeated by the Three Demons of Lion Camel Ridge and the Violent Dragon God and a few of their followers.

But the situation for Great Qian in Wu Province is also not looking good now.

Now they can only hunker down and defend.

Therefore, Nangong Tianxia did not choose to bring his two junior War Gods behind him to support Wu Province.

That would just be locking the barn after the horse is stolen.

Even if Nangong Tianxia took the two of them to Wu Province...

Most likely, it would just let Great Qian suppress the Yellow Turban Army again.

Basically, it would be impossible to defeat them.

As for Lu Province, there's no need to even mention it.

The opposing Yellow Turban Army's Commander-in-Chief, Meng Zhang, commands troops like a god.

Even if most of Great Qian's commanders and talents have gone to the Lu Province battlefield...

they still haven't gained any advantage over Meng Zhang.

They just occasionally make Meng Zhang feel nauseous.

They want to crush Meng Zhang's front line.

Don't even think about it!

Therefore, after clarifying the current situation of Great Qian and the Yellow Turban across the three battlefields...

Nangong Tianxia directly set his target on the relatively...

On the Rui Province battlefield, which among Great Qian's three battlefields is like weaklings pecking at each other...

The Yellow Turban's War Gods on Rui Province are just two junior War Gods: Mountain Lion Camel and Lion Camel King.

And Great Qian on Rui Province, including Chief Commander Tan Mengjun, also has only two or three War Gods.

As for Lu and Wu Provinces, it's constantly Dao Soldiers clashing, with top-tier War Gods going berserk.

It's indeed a Bronze tier.

Although this Bronze tier, when placed in the current Great Sheng Dynasty...

it can also be considered a Royal tier.

but on Great Qian's side, there really isn't any prestige.
