Chapter 577

For a time.

The focus was entirely on Changshan Commandery.

The players' chat area was also completely boiling over.

Su Li had only recently taken office as the Administrator of Changshan, and he was already locked in a life-or-death battle with the Heishan Army leader, Zhang Yan.

For most of the spectators, this was truly too exciting.

Some of the onlookers had already begun to speculate on the outcome of this great battle.

"I heard the Heishan Army has millions of troops; Su Li is bound to lose this time."

"That's not necessarily true. Don't forget, Big Brother Su has always attacked against the odds; perhaps he can create a miracle this time..."

"In my opinion~, it's a fifty-fifty split for both sides."

"Uh... you said that, but it's like you said nothing at all!"

…………

In Changshan Commandery, at Mount Taixing, the north wind was biting. Su Li led his troops to seize the mountainous terrain in advance, utilizing the Taiping Essential Arts to leverage the geographical advantage.

He gained an additional combat power bonus.

He had already received news that Zhang Yan was leading his troops, charging toward his direction.

For this reason, Su Li had also summoned Facing Guan Hai and Ju Yi, who were stationed in Changshan City, to join him.

At the very front, twenty thousand Crimson Blood Cavalry were arrayed, with two thousand Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry on the flanks.

In the center formation were twenty thousand Shield-Armored Infantry and twenty thousand Crossbowmen.

Su Li and Zhao Yu stood on a hillside, waiting for Zhang Yan's arrival.

On the horizon, a black line slowly appeared, gradually thickening from thin, kicking up rolling dust.

Zhang Yan was making a desperate gamble, having learned Su Li's location through the player Jiang Aotian, and had killed his way here all along the path.

Zhao Yu gazed at the Heishan Army arriving across the mountains and plains, and said to Su Li: "No matter how many enemies there are, Xiao Yu will surely break them for Big Brother!"

Facing Guan Hai also said: "I, Old Guan, am now determined to follow my lord; with blade in hand and horse under me, I will never retreat a single step!"

Neither of them were people who feared death; their bold words were enough to swallow mountains and rivers.

Su Li was somewhat moved.

Unknowingly, he already had several loyal generals following him.

Only Ju Yi stood by silently, looking somewhat lackluster.

Su Li glanced at Ju Yi.

After conferring an official title upon this fellow, his loyalty had barely reached 70 points.

But he was very lackluster.

The Heishan Army grew more and more numerous, boundless as far as the eye could see. The ground was trembling; the cavalry charging at the very front alone numbered twenty to thirty thousand, stretching for hundreds of miles.

Sometimes, Su Li even doubted whether these local factions could also spawn troops.

And there were no restrictions either.

How did every faction possess an inexhaustible supply of troop types?

Looking into the distance.

Zhang Yan was in the lead, commanding the remaining few Heishan commanders, charging at the forefront, and had already spotted Su Li.

He and the group of Heishan commanders were all gnashing their teeth.

Su Li had uprooted all the Heishan Army strongholds, clearly intending to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Once the reinforcements from Jizhou Inspector Wang Fen and Changsha Administrator Sun Jian arrived in Changshan Commandery.

Every one of them might face total annihilation.

"We are bullying the weak with our strength, charge!"

Zhang Yan no longer wanted to consider any tactics.

In any case, this was in the wilderness.

It was a contest of who had more troops.

"Leader, the term 'bullying the weak with strength' doesn't seem to be used correctly."

"Who cares if it's correct or not? Entering this battle against Changshan Administrator Su Li, it's either you die or I live!"

Zhang Yan drew his weapon, a long spear engraved with a black swallow, and his killing intent erupted.

"Kill!"

The million-strong Heishan Army was like a tsunami, rushing toward Mount Taixing, startling countless birds.

"Enemy General Zhang Yan, my lord, Changshan Administrator Su Li, has words for you. Do you dare to come out and talk!"

Facing Guan Hai, following Su Li's instructions, stepped out and shouted loudly.

The voice was heroic, carrying for a thousand meters, and the Heishan Army was startled.

"Why wouldn't I dare!"

Zhang Yan rode his horse to the front of the formation, completely unafraid.

"I will go and meet Zhang Yan."

Su Li also went alone on horseback to the front of the formation, scanning Zhang Yan.

As a bona fide warlord of the late Han Dynasty in history, Zhang Yan had a low background and led a group of uneducated grassroots heroes, so he could never achieve great things.

Otherwise, with the momentum of the Heishan Army, it might not have been impossible to sweep across the entire world.

But even so.

Zhang Yan had led the Heishan Army to linger in the Hebei region for many years.

Yuan Shao had been unable to completely eliminate him.

Later, when Cao Cao pacified Hebei, Zhang Yan led his followers to surrender and was even enfeoffed as a marquis despite his grassroots status...

···

This was enough to show Zhang Yan's ability, which even Cao Cao appreciated.

"Zhang Yan, I respect you as a true hero; why be a bandit! Why not join my Changshan Commandery, abandon darkness for light from now on, and you might just rise to the top!"

After scanning Zhang Yan, Su Li said earnestly.

"Heh! Nowadays, the people are living in misery, and the imperial court is corrupt. I gathered righteous troops at Heishan to rob the rich and help the poor, and to reorganize the great trend; how could I surrender to you?"

"How can the sparrow know the ambition of the swan! Are kings and nobles born with high status!"

"I, Zhang Yan, will definitely accomplish a magnificent feat!"

Zhang Yan was full of heroic spirit, and the group of Heishan commanders were fired up.

How can the sparrow know the ambition of the swan!

Are kings and nobles born with high status!

Su Li felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing Zhang Yan's words.

If Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were here, they would definitely call him an expert.

"Then, we have no choice but to fight."

"Let's see who is the one who truly reorganizes the great trend!"

Su Li also said with great heroic spirit.

"Good lad, it seems your ambition is not small either!"

"Then let's see who the final winner is!"

Zhang Yan looked at Su Li with some surprise.

"Good!"

Su Li nodded and returned directly to the formation.

To subdue Zhang Yan and the others, he had to beat them into submission.

Only by letting them know that they couldn't succeed would they surrender.

"Wipe out the Han Army on Mount Taixing!"

Zhang Yan also returned to the formation and then gave the order directly.

The dense Heishan Army was like army ants, attacking Su Li and the others.
