Chapter 1314: Annihilate Them All

Ye Liuyun's various armies almost set out at the same time, each going to fulfill its own mission.

Moreover, there are also primary and secondary distinctions; if one must identify a central army, then Ye Liuyun's Qin Peng unit is the central force of this campaign.

But Qin Peng's unit is the same; when it's time to fight, they fight, no different from other units.

So even if news leaks, the Foreign Tribe cannot figure out what Ye Liuyun intends to do.

The objective of each army is basically to intercept and ambush the Foreign Tribe troops that are about to arrive to take over the cities.

Moreover, because the deployment is relatively dispersed, even the Leaders of the imperial armies thought they were merely conducting small-scale roadblock ambushes.

Only Ye Liuyun remained fully aware, monitoring the overall situation.

In fact, they simultaneously ambushed six Foreign Tribe armies totaling 100,000 troops.

Moreover, each was ambushed by two or three of our units, giving us numerical and terrain advantages.

These six Foreign Tribe armies were each cut off at the waist, then divided and surrounded, and quickly annihilated.

Tuomu Hai immediately sensed something was wrong and wanted to withdraw his troops.

But Ye Liuyun, Zuo Mu, and the Fourth Prince's warships suddenly appeared near the three cities already occupied by the Foreign Tribe, making them think there was an ambush outside and deterring them from withdrawing easily.

Tuomu Hai was also studying the battlefield situation.

These six armies were simultaneously attacked, so he also suspected that Ye Liuyun was planning a major move.

Ye Liuyun's armies were now all marching swiftly toward the next battle objective.

Ye Liuyun would wait until they finished battle before announcing the next order; he had pre-calculated the timing, giving them a deadline to arrive, otherwise they would face military punishment.

The Leaders had no major complaints; according to Ye Liuyun's arrangement, they could easily win big battles without too much worry.

Although the time was tight, they were still able to accomplish it.

This time Ye Liuyun's arrangement was to send three armies to attack a city and capture the two nearest cities to them.

The other units would rush to the outskirts of those three Foreign Tribe cities that were trying to flee, not to assault the cities but to cut off their retreat.

The warships outside those three cities were actually just a few vessels; their purpose was to make the Foreign Tribe suspicious and unwilling to withdraw.

In fact, the units now intercepting them are heading there; if they were a bit bolder and ran now, they could completely escape.

"Could Ye Liuyun intend to wipe us out completely again?"

To be safe, Tuomu Hai could only notify the Foreign Tribe armies inside the cities to withdraw first, lest Ye Liuyun surround them one by one.

As soon as Keshui issued his order, he received news that those two cities were under siege.

He immediately realized there were three cities not far away and urged them to withdraw as quickly as possible.

At the same time, the warships waiting near those three cities also all withdrew.

Their purpose had already been achieved: they had frightened the Foreign Tribe into staying inside the cities, not daring to come out, until the intercepting units reached the designated location, at which point the warships' mission was also completed.

The Foreign Tribe inside those three cities, seeing the warships withdraw, thought the ambushing armies, seeing no movement, had already withdrawn.

Thus the three armies simultaneously marched out of the cities and began to retreat.

But shortly after leaving the cities, they encountered the real ambush.

"Damn! We've been tricked!" Tuomu Hai received the news and finally understood Ye Liuyun's intention.

Ye Liuyun wanted them to scatter their forces so he could pick them off one by one.

"Withdraw troops! Pull everyone back!"

Tuomu Hai immediately issued the order, so even if some units inside the cities were intercepted, most of the fighting strength would still be retained.

After successive battles on our side, the Foreign Tribe's forces are now stretched thin.

But the result of the withdrawal still shocked him greatly.

Qin Peng, Zuo Mu, and the Fourth Prince's armies suddenly appeared in the Southern and Central Regions, intercepting most of the forces they had just deployed.

Especially, Ye Liuyun's elite unit was also present.

Meanwhile, the Foreign Tribe units had just arrived at those cities' interiors, hadn't even had a chance to rest, hadn't even received supplies, and now had to withdraw again, so their morale was very low.

Encountering Ye Liuyun's army's interception again, they dropped their armor and weapons and scattered at the first strike.

Qin Peng and their defensive line did not pursue; instead, they held their position firmly, continuing to intercept the next batch of Foreign Tribe troops.

They numbered only over 100,000, yet they managed to block the Foreign Tribe's army of over a million.

Only after there were no retreating Foreign Tribe forces did they begin to counterattack; this time they swept everywhere to mop up the Foreign Tribe troops that had previously been scattered by them.

They divided their army into multiple columns, forming parallel lines, and advanced together forward.

Those Corpse Demons had already been scattered, lacking any combat strength; even a squad of a few hundred could easily eliminate them.

At this point, Ye Liuyun gathered all the imperial armies and set out toward the Foreign Tribe.

Likewise, he split several armies into countless squads of a few hundred each, conducting a net-style search forward for scattered Corpse Demons, together with Qin Peng and the others, squeezing those scattered Corpse Demons into the middle and easily eliminating them.

Tuomu Hai, inside the military tent, fiercely struck the tabletop, smashing the table into a pile of powder.

"Damn it! Ye Liuyun actually organized another large counterattack so quickly!"

This time he again sent over a million troops into the fray; in numbers, they now had no advantage at all.

"Fine, since you're launching a counterattack, I'll join in as well!"

Tuomu Hai thought of this and immediately ordered the Foreign Tribe armies that were withdrawing to assemble on the spot, preparing for a counteroffensive.

A Foreign Tribe army of 1.56 million then began to assemble directly along the way.

After they finished assembling, Qin Peng and the others responsible for the net-style eradication of Foreign Tribe remnants also met up, completing their eradication mission.

"Fall back and regroup! Serve as our reinforcement reserve." Ye Liuyun gave them that order; afterward, he personally led the other already-assembled armies forward.

At this point, those Leaders realized this was a major battle, the scale not smaller than before.

Ye Liuyun also informed them during their march.

"Our target this time is the Foreign Tribe's lair! I hope you can be mentally prepared. If we don't fight to the death, we'll all die there!"

"What you are about to face is a Foreign Tribe army twice your size. In this battle, you must win and cannot lose, for we have no reserve forces left."

If you lose, Zhongyang Dalu will also be finished! After that, Zhongyang Dalu will be filled with Corpse Demons everywhere, including your families!
