Chapter 225

"Nangong Tianxia, you really did come after all!"

In the distance, Meng Zhang, who was commanding the Yellow Turban Army, saw Nangong Tianxia and the Thunder Marsh Dragon Cavalry suddenly rush out from the Da Qian camp.

His face showed not the slightest hint of surprise.

With Meng Zhang's Commander-in-Chief abilities, how could he not have foreseen this move by Nangong Tianxia!

Moreover, this tactic had already been used when Huang Chao earlier launched a surprise attack on the Yellow Turban Army in Auspicious Prefecture.

It would be even harder to hide it from Meng Zhang.

How could the same plan possibly work again?

Meng Zhang is not so easily dealt with.

If Nangong Tianxia had initially led the Thunder Marsh Dragon Cavalry in a surprise attack on Meng Zhang, perhaps it would indeed have caused this Saint Rank Commander-in-Chief some trouble.

After all, with no preparation whatsoever, the threat posed by Nangong Tianxia and this strange force of the Thunder Marsh Dragon Cavalry can easily be imagined.

But unfortunately, Nangong Tianxia did not choose Meng Zhang as his primary target, instead turning toward Huang Chao in Auspicious Prefecture.

With no preparation whatsoever.

Nangong Tianxia and this strange force of the Thunder Marsh Dragon Cavalry.

What's actually most important is not merely the threat of a sudden attack.

As a rare Heavy Cavalry Dao Soldiers unit, there is also Nangong Tianxia, this Heavenly God who is second on the World's Wind and Cloud Rankings.

They themselves are a heavenly disaster that few in the present age can withstand!

Just like the previous surprise attack by Huang Chao in Auspicious Prefecture.

Even if Huang Chao had received advance warning of Nangong Tianxia's surprise attack plan.

He also had absolutely no way to resist this charge, fierce as a tiger descending the mountain.

At most, he could do a little preparation beforehand and merely preserve his own life in the hands of Nangong Tianxia and the Thunder Marsh Dragon Cavalry.

The Auspicious Prefecture Yellow Turban Army simply lacks the capability to resist Nangong Tianxia and the Thunder Marsh Dragon Cavalry.

At the moment Nangong Tianxia led the Thunder Marsh Dragon Cavalry toward Auspicious Prefecture.

The defeat of the Auspicious Prefecture Yellow Turban Army was already sealed.

It had become an irreversible set situation.

This is the foundation of the Da Qian dynasty!

A dynasty with hundreds of years of history, accumulating countless glory and splendor.

Its army, whether in equipment, training, or morale, is far beyond what the Yellow Turban Army can match.

If it weren't for Meng Zhang, this Foundation Commander-in-Chief 104's Saint Command holding the line at Lu Prefecture on this frontline battlefield.

The Yellow Turban Army's defeat would likely come even faster and more thoroughly.

Meng Zhang's presence, although unable to change the ultimate fate of the Yellow Turban Army,

but at least it bought them a sliver of a chance to breathe, allowing them to seek a glimmer of hope in despair.

Otherwise, even if the Yellow Turban Army simultaneously possessed the Ox Demon King, the Three Monsters of Lion Camel Ridge, and the Three Great War Kings,

it would still be difficult to alter the fate of being crushed by the Da Qian dynasty.

To the Da Qian dynasty, they are nothing more than jumping clowns.

They could be wiped out with a backhand!

In the original future trajectory, the Da Qian dynasty's trend of rapid collapse.

It is because the Da Qian dynasty's imperial star Zhang Tianxuan has already emerged, his power and wisdom like brilliant stars.

And he brings with him his original large cadre of fully matured aides.

However, at the same time, the Da Qian dynasty's sea‑stabilizing divine needles—like the God‑slayer Nangong Tianxia and the Grand Preceptor Gu Changqing, the nation‑stabilizing divine pillars—have already begun to gradually grow old.

Although their strength remains formidable, the erosion of time prevents them from galloping across the battlefield and turning the tide as they did in their youth.

Nangong Tianxia, the second‑ranked commander of the Leize Dragon Cavalry.

At that time he had already withdrawn to the second line, placing his hopes and efforts on the new generation of commanders.

And Gu Changqing, the former Da Qian Grand Preceptor renowned for his wisdom and stratagems, can no longer participate for long periods in battle and planning due to his aging body.

In this situation, the Da Qian dynasty began to experience a lack of successors, with the old guard fading and the new not yet ready.

The older generation of commanders and strategists gradually withdrew from the historical stage.

Although the new generation of talents is exceptionally gifted, they lack experience and training, and are still unable to fully shoulder the burdens of their predecessors.

Meanwhile, Zhang Tianxuan and his associates are at the height of their power.

Their power and influence have begun to reach their peak, posing an unprecedented threat to the Da Qian dynasty.

Pressures from all sides surged in like a tide, and the Da Qian dynasty's situation took a sudden turn for the worse.

Under internal and external troubles, the once impregnable empire quickly began to show cracks.

Rebellions and uprisings sprang up everywhere, while the court was rife with constant strife and intensifying power struggles.

Against this backdrop, the collapse of the Da Qian dynasty has become an irreversible trend.

However, the present Da Qian dynasty is not like that.

Nangong Tianxia and Gu Changqing and the like are still alive!

Their existence, like a sea‑stabilizing divine needle, steadies the foundations of the Da Qian dynasty.

Although Nangong Tianxia is no longer young, his prestige and experience remain unmatched.

The Leize Dragon Cavalry under his command remains one of the most elite forces on the Tianwu Continent, its combat power and loyalty beyond doubt.

Although Gu Changqing's body is no longer what it once was, his wisdom and stratagems still inspire awe.

With him holding court, those harboring ill intentions dare not act rashly.

Besides Nangong Tianxia and Gu Changqing, the other corps of the present Da Qian dynasty are all fully staffed and strong.

Regardless of infantry, cavalry, or navy, they have undergone rigorous training and equipment updates, ready to face any challenge and threat at any time.

Under these circumstances, fighting the Yellow Turbans is like a father beating his son.

If it weren't for Su Ye unintentionally supporting Meng Zhang's arrival.

The Taiping Sect's Yellow Turban Army had long been pressed to the ground and hammered to death by the Da Qian dynasty.

Meng Zhang's arrival, although, brought new hope and vitality to the Yellow Turban Army.

Relying on outstanding commander-in-chief ability and tactical wisdom, they successfully reversed the Yellow Turban Army's declining momentum on the battlefield.

Under his command, the Yellow Turban Army began to unleash its numerical advantage, employing various clever tactics to oppose the Da Qian dynasty's regular forces.

Both sides fell into a stalemate, you come and go, each having wins and losses.

However, even with the talented commander-in-chief Meng Zhang joining the Yellow Turban Army, it was far from easy for them to resist the Da Qian dynasty's fierce offensive.

The Da Qian dynasty's strength is unfathomable; its abundant reserves and powerful forces are far beyond what the Yellow Turban Army can easily match.

That is, the Da Qian dynasty even had its chrysanthemum scooped out by the Flame King.

Furthermore, the Da Qian dynasty's currently strongest chief commander, Gu Changqing, was left in Qian Prefecture by the Da Qian emperor Si Xiao Fei.

To guard against the invasion of the two other great different-surname kings—the Night King and the Cloud King.

Otherwise, Meng Zhang really wouldn't fight so fiercely.

Pressing step by step against the Da Qian troops on Lu Prefecture.

Almost had them wiped out.

"Notify Kong Jin and them, we can move now."

"Don't worry about the Thunder Marsh Dragon Cavalry; try to keep the Soul-Hooking Army as much as possible!"

Watching the Soul-Hooking Army surround and slaughter the Bull Demon King and Yellow Turban strongmen on the battlefield, Meng Zhang narrowed his eyes.

And Meng Zhang's prepared backup naturally also revealed itself.

As it turned out, they were the three brothers from Lion Camel Mountain who had long been stationed on the Martial Prefecture battlefield!
