Chapter 302

It took half a day just for the million-strong army to leave the pass.

The Dragon Guard and the Azure Cloud Guard were the first to leave the pass, and they stood guard ten-odd miles away to prevent the Chiyi army from turning back to attack.

The Azure Cloud Guard, the most elite cavalry in Qingzhou.

In terms of overall level, perhaps they were not as good as the Dragon Guard.

But more than half of them were Earth Realm martial artists, and the minimum requirement for selection was the peak of the Human Realm.

The movements at Duanyun Pass could naturally not be hidden from the Chiyi.

Kui Yuan was both shocked and terrified. He had not expected the commander of Duanyun Pass to be so decisive; he had only just packed his things to prepare for a retreat when the other side reorganized and left the pass.

Once he continued to retreat, it would be equivalent to exposing his entire back to the enemy.

Caught off guard, they would surely be routed for a thousand miles.

Thinking of this, he could only grit his teeth and say: "All troops, take orders, prepare for battle!"

He knew that unless he made the Yin Shang feel pain, he would not be able to retreat safely.

Woo! Woo!

Low, deep horns echoed between Heaven and Earth.

Clang! Clang!

As the million-strong army marched, weapons and armor collided, emitting bursts of metallic sounds.

Warhorses neighed, and banners fluttered.

Between Heaven and Earth, an endless aura of slaughter soon permeated.

The million-strong Yin Shang allied army and the 700,000-strong Chiyi army confronted each other outside Duanyun Pass, and the war was on the verge of breaking out.

Feng Yunzong stood on the tall command chariot, his expression solemn.

He had originally wanted to tail and pursue them, but he had not expected the Chiyi commander to be so decisive, setting up a posture for battle on the spot, which made it impossible for him to advance or retreat, leaving them to just drag it out.

Not only that, he also had to guard against an attack from the Chiyi army.

If the Chiyi army really launched an attack, it would be a tragic battle.

Thud! Thud!

A messenger hurriedly climbed onto the command chariot and said loudly: "Report to the Marquis, His Highness has a message."

Feng Yunzong raised his eyebrows: "Oh, speak."

"All troops, take orders!"

In the Chiyi army, on the tall command chariot.

Kui Yuan shouted sharply, his voice like thunder, spreading over a hundred miles in radius.

His expression was cold and stern, and his fighting spirit burned fiercely in his eyes.

The leadership within the tribe had been wiped out; if he didn't want to be taken advantage of by the Yin Shang, he had to crush this million-strong allied army first.

Just at this moment, the Yin Shang allied army opposite suddenly shouted in unison: "Mount Chiyi has collapsed, the four great sacrificial priests have all died, why are you still waiting instead of fleeing for your lives!"

"Mount Chiyi has collapsed, the four great sacrificial priests have all died, why are you still waiting instead of fleeing for your lives!"

"Mount Chiyi has collapsed, the four great sacrificial priests have all died, why are you still waiting instead of fleeing for your lives!"

The voices of the Yin Shang allied army were like surging waves, slapping toward the Chiyi army.

Soon, it spread throughout the entire Chiyi army formation.

Immediately, the Chiyi army was in an uproar.

"Mount Chiyi collapsed, the four great sacrificial priests died?"

"How is this possible? The four great sacrificial priests are all Earth Witches; how could they all be killed?"

"It must be fake, how could the Holy Mountain collapse?"

"If it's fake, why did they say they were going to retreat earlier?"

The soldiers looked at each other, shocked and suspicious.

Everyone was not a fool; the changes in the leadership's orders made them think of something.

The Holy Mountain was their sustenance.

The four great sacrificial priests were their spiritual faith.

If Mount Chiyi had collapsed and the four great sacrificial priests had died, then what were they fighting for?

Also, even the Holy Mountain had collapsed and the four great sacrificial priests had died in battle, then what about their tribes, their families?

The collapse of morale made Kui Yuan both anxious and angry.

He shouted sharply: "Lies, all lies. All troops, take orders, attack!"

Morale is something that collapses quickly.

But it is not easy to pick it back up.

Therefore, although Kui Yuan gave the order, more than half of the soldiers were still at a loss, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

At the same time, some soldiers still listened to Kui Yuan's orders.

They obeyed the order to attack.

As a result, this group collided with those who were at a loss, throwing the army formation into chaos.

Bumping into each other, they instantly fell into confusion.

Feng Yunzong's eyes lit up, secretly praising Yin Qi's brilliant scheme. He seized the opportunity and shouted: "All troops, attack!"

"Kill!"

The million-strong army shouted in unison.

The Dragon Guard and the Azure Cloud Guard charged out, galloping like two sharp swords, quickly inserting themselves into the Chiyi army. Without encountering any decent resistance, they directly pierced through the Chiyi army.

Immediately after, the million-strong Yin Shang allied army followed up with an attack.

They were like surging waves, slapping against a castle built of sand.

The castle collapsed with a roar!

With the collapse of morale, the Chiyi army was routed at the first touch.

If one were to look down from high altitude, one could see the Chiyi army collapsing rapidly, especially the soldiers in the back, who turned and fled, affecting the entire army like dominoes.

On the command chariot, Kui Yuan felt cold all over, his eyes ashen.

Defeated!

And defeated so miserably!

With the four great sacrificial priests and the leadership wiped out, plus his main force being annihilated, he seemed to have already seen the scene of the Yin Shang army ravaging the Chiyi tribe.

Chiyi is finished!

"Kui Yuan, die!"

Feng Lin rode on a dragon horse, heading straight for Kui Yuan's command chariot.

He opened his mouth and spat out a red pearl, which turned into a ray of red light, flashing through the void and instantly hitting the center of the brow of the distracted Kui Yuan. Then Kui Yuan fell straight down, emitting only a muffled groan.

"Haha!"

Feng Lin laughed loudly.

He leaped up, flew onto the command chariot, and cut down the Chiyi military flag.

As the ten-meter-high military flag fell, those Chiyi soldiers who were still holding on finally collapsed and turned to flee.

Duanyun Pass.

Yin Qi had already returned quietly. He stood on the city wall, looking at the routed Chiyi army, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slowly; the outcome was decided.

And for the second assessment, he had basically locked in the result in advance.

With this main force of the Chiyi crushed, the Chiyi could no longer organize any decent resistance.

The Chiyi were routed for a thousand miles, and the Yin Shang allied army pursued and killed them for a thousand miles.

It was not until the defeated Chiyi army fled into the Taiyuan Mountain Domain that Feng Yunzong ordered the pursuit to stop.

He ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up and the fleeing Chiyi soldiers to be pursued, while also ordering 500,000 troops to be sent to support other battle lines.

One must know that in this battle, the Chiyi had divided their troops into nine routes, and this was only one of them.

One month later.

Under Feng Yunzong's command, the Yin Shang allied army once again routed the other eight Chiyi armies and thoroughly recovered the lost territory.

During this period, 300,000 enemies were killed and 500,000 were captured.

Such a great victory was the first of its kind against the Eastern Yi since the founding of the Yin Shang.

Duanyun Pass.

Feng Yunzong reported: "Your Highness, we have now thoroughly routed the Chiyi army and recovered the lost territory. Should we proceed to attack into the Taiyuan Mountain Domain next?"

Although the Chiyi had been crushed, the other Eastern Yi branches were still there.

If they attacked into the Taiyuan Mountain Domain, it would inevitably touch the sensitive nerves of the other Eastern Yi branches, who would certainly send troops to support them.

At that time, they would have to face the Eastern Yi allied forces.

The Feng Yi were being held back by Yin Shou, so there was no need to worry.

But even so, they would have to face the seven-route Eastern Yi allied forces.

Such a major matter was not something he could decide.

Yin Qi's expression was cold and stern, and he said in a deep voice: "Attack, why not attack? With such a heaven-sent opportunity, if we don't thoroughly crush the Chiyi, they will rise from the ashes in a few decades. As for the other Eastern Yi allied forces, I just happen to want to meet them."

Feng Yunzong was startled; he felt that Yin Qi had been blinded by victory and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, absolutely not..."
