Chapter 617: Wiping Out Gao Jiong and Shi Wansui

And at the same time, Gao Shun, Xun Yu, and the others, who were far away in Piling Commandery, also launched an attack against the army of four hundred thousand Sui troops led by Gao Jiong and Shi Wansui.

Relying on Taishi Ci's fifty thousand naval troops, Xun Yu and the others chose to launch a direct frontal interception against Gao Jiong and Shi Wansui's army.

At this time, Gao Jiong and Shi Wansui, who had crossed the river from Jiangdu Commandery, were leading the first batch of one hundred and fifty thousand troops, sailing on the rapid Yangtze River in warships.

"General, unidentified warships have been discovered on the southern river surface, sailing toward our army!"

On the giant warship at the head, Gao Jiong was concentrating on sensing the situation on the river surface.

Just at this moment, a guard suddenly walked over and said to him urgently.

This guard was one of the soldiers he had dispatched to be responsible for scouting the enemy situation on the river surface.

"Oh, it seems the Han army wants to intercept our army crossing the river; how many warships does the enemy have?"

Hearing the guard's words, Gao Jiong immediately guessed that these were the Han army's warships.

However, he was not too worried; in his conjecture, the Han army was just coming to harass them while they crossed the river.

They did not have large-scale naval troops, so it would not cause him too much loss.

"Reporting to the General, the enemy warships are not many, only about two hundred." The guard said to Gao Jiong.

"Heh, with only two hundred-plus warships, they want to intercept this General? Tell General Yang Xuangan to lead his naval troops to go and wipe out the enemy naval troops!"

Hearing the guard's report, Gao Jiong was slightly disdainful and ordered him.

Hearing this, the guard was speechless and immediately explained to him:

"General, although the opponent only has two hundred-plus warships, the warships they use are too giant; they are at least seventy or eighty zhang in size!"

Hearing the guard's explanation, the smile on Gao Jiong's face froze, his voice even raised, and he said with an unhappy expression:

"Seventy or eighty zhang in size? Do you know what you are saying! How could there be warships dozens of zhang in size!"

He felt that this soldier was deceiving him; he had never heard of warships seventy or eighty zhang in size!

"Reporting to the General, what this subordinate says is true; I would not dare to deceive the General. The enemy warships are at least seventy or eighty zhang in size!"

The guard, seeing Gao Jiong's unhappy expression, hurriedly knelt down and said to Gao Jiong in panic.

"Whoosh... whoosh..."

Just as Gao Jiong wanted to speak, a series of piercing sounds came from the sky.

Gao Jiong and the crowd of Sui soldiers all looked toward the direction the sound came from.

Only to see in the line of sight of the crowd, countless spirit stone cannonballs attacking rapidly toward their position.

"Not good! What is this thing? It actually contains terrifying spiritual power; if this falls..."

Sensing the energy surging within the spirit stone cannonballs, Gao Jiong shivered inside.

He could not imagine that scene, and immediately shouted urgently to the Sui soldiers on the warship:

"All vigilance, pay attention to the things in the sky; this thing is very dangerous, everyone pay attention to dodging!"

Following Gao Jiong's voice falling, the crowd of Sui soldiers all became vigilant.

It is just that the speed of the spirit stone cannonballs was too fast; before the Sui soldiers could react, more than two hundred spirit stone cannonballs had already fallen into the Sui army's fleet.

"Boom... boom... boom..."

"Ah... ah... help..."

"What kind of thing is this? Too terrifying!"

Two hundred spirit stone cannonballs fell accurately into the Sui army's warships, and countless warships were blown up.

The Sui army's original eight hundred warships, under the baptism of this wave of spirit stone cannonballs, lost nearly two hundred.

One hundred and fifty thousand troops lost nearly half; many people were even swept into the rapid Yangtze River by the air waves and soon lost their traces.

On the entire Yangtze River, fragments of ships were floating everywhere, and rolling thick smoke rose on the river surface.

This scene was also detected by Shi Wansui and Yang Xuangan on the opposite bank; Shi Wansui immediately led Martial Ancestor realm experts to come and support.

Leaving Yang Xuangan alone to command the remaining army in place.

And just at this time, Taishi Ci and Gao Shun and the others led an army of one hundred thousand, riding two hundred Yellow Dragon warships, and sailed toward Gao Jiong's direction.

"Han army! Damn it! Damn it!"

"I did not expect that these things actually caused this General to lose seventy or eighty thousand troops!"

Gao Jiong in the air also discovered Taishi Ci's warships and immediately let out an angry roar.

At the same time, Zhang Sanfeng led Hong Qi and the four, soaring from the warships and rushing toward Gao Jiong.

Hong Qi and Qiao Feng even used their signature martial technique, the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms.

Golden dragon-shaped palm energy attacked toward Gao Jiong.

Gao Jiong at this time was also shocked; he did not expect the opponent to have so many Martial King realm experts.

Immediately, he did not dare to be negligent and responded seriously.

However, he was only at the third heaven of the Martial King realm; facing the siege of Hong Qi and Qiao Feng, he was in danger for a time and somewhat unable to respond.

Seeing Gao Jiong being dealt with by Hong Qi and Qiao Feng, Zhang Sanfeng, Song Yuanqiao, and Li Mochou killed toward the others.

And at the same time, Taishi Ci and Gao Shun led the army and had already arrived.

Facing the powerful Han army, the Sui army soldiers constantly fell; the two sides were simply not on the same level.

At this time, Shi Wansui, who had arrived at the battlefield, was also intercepted by Gao Shun.

For a time, the two sides unfolded a fierce battle, constantly erupting with the sounds of martial technique collisions.

Not long after, following the death of Gao Jiong, Shi Wansui, and a crowd of generals, the Sui Kingdom's army of one hundred and fifty thousand was all wiped out by the Han army.

This scene shocked Yang Xuangan on the opposite bank fiercely; seeing Shi Wansui and Gao Jiong die in battle, he immediately led the remaining Sui troops and retreated back to Jiangdu City.

"Too terrifying! I did not expect there to be so many Martial King realm experts in the Han army."

"Even Gao Jiong and Shi Wansui died in battle; where exactly did this Han Kingdom pop out from? Its strength is simply powerfully outrageous!"

"This matter, this General should tell the Emperor earlier; I hope the Emperor can dispatch some Martial King realm experts to support, otherwise, just relying on this General, it is difficult to withstand the Han army's attack!"

Yang Xuangan, who returned to the City Lord's Manor, could not help but feel lingering fear; fortunately, he did not follow Shi Wansui to support.

Otherwise, at this time, he would also have died in battle; thinking of this, he could not help but feel a bit lucky.

Very quickly, Yang Xuangan ordered people to send the news of how Gao Jiong and Shi Wansui died to Luoyang.

And at the same time, Taishi Ci and Gao Shun, after wiping out Gao Jiong, Shi Wansui, and the one hundred and fifty thousand Sui troops, crossed the Yangtze River directly and sailed toward the opposite Jiangdu City.

This trip, they were not just to defeat Gao Jiong and Shi Wansui, but also to take this opportunity to take down Jiangdu Commandery as well. ===== CHAPTER 618 =====
