Chapter 322

Seeing heavy casualties, the Liao leader hurriedly withdrew his men. Just one charge cost them more than five hundred people!

The Liao leader reorganized his team, changed to a dispersed formation, and then launched an attack again. He had no other choice; for every moment the time dragged on, the probability of the Great Jin army appearing increased by one point.

In this round of attack, the crossbowmen did not stop, continuing to approach to within twenty zhang without stopping, suppressing and shooting while advancing.

But roaring sounds constantly erupted in front of the position, gunpowder smoke filled the air again, and over a hundred crossbowmen fell backward as if slapped by an invisible hand.

The Dao Foundation knights waited for the arrows to pass over their heads, stood up to shoot, and then dodged if arrows flew over, and continued to shoot if there were no arrows. After all, they were Dao Foundation cultivators, their reactions were much faster than mortals, and they were more than ten zhang apart; as long as their luck wasn't too bad, they basically wouldn't be hit.

The Liao tribesmen charged again, and the defending knights also shot at full speed. The ten rounds of ammunition equipped for each person decreased rapidly.

A Liao sub-leader jumped with all his might, relying on his mid-stage Dao Foundation cultivation to fly ten zhang in an instant, appearing above the trench of the position.

He looked ferocious and slashed at the heavy armored warrior in front of him with all his might! Seeing that the warrior held up a steel rod to meet him, he roared and added three parts of Dao power!

This blade was powerful and heavy; the Liao sub-leader was confident that he could cut the warrior in front of him in half along with the person!

The blade and rod intersected with a loud bang, and the heavy armored warrior retreated repeatedly, hitting the other side of the trench before stopping. But the Liao sub-leader's blade was also shaken high. He never expected that the opponent in front of him was also a Dao Foundation cultivator!

Although this Dao Foundation was very weak, it was still a Dao Foundation after all, far from being comparable to a Body Forging completion. The Liao sub-leader put away his contempt, and his long blade slashed at his opponent like a storm. The opponent must be an officer; killing him was better than killing ten small soldiers.

However, the heavy armored warriors on the left and right sides stabbed with their spears, fast and ruthless, and they were surprisingly two more Dao Foundation cultivators!

The Liao sub-leader was besieged by three Dao Foundation cultivators, unable to attend to one thing while losing another, and in the blink of an eye, there were more than a dozen holes in his body, and he fell into a pool of blood. The other sub-leaders also encountered sieges by multiple Dao Foundation cultivators after killing their way into the position, and died in battle in an instant. But the large group of Liao tribesmen still rushed through the barrage and killed their way into the position. The heavy armored knights were forced into hand-to-hand combat.

The result of light-armored Liao Body Forging tribesmen fighting hand-to-hand with heavy-armored Dao Foundation knights is imaginable.

At this time, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and the one hundred knights Wei Yuan left in the rear had long since mounted their warhorses, circled a large circle from the periphery, and were now slaughtering from the side and rear.

The Liao leader knew that the general trend was gone, drew his precious blade, and his eagle-like eyes scanned, immediately locking onto Wei Yuan in the chaotic battlefield. I don't know why, but he just didn't like this kid.

At this moment, killing anyone is killing, so it's better to kill one who follows his heart, so the Liao leader's aura locked onto Wei Yuan and rushed straight over.

Wei Yuan was also helpless; with so many people in front, why did he pick him? It seems that the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

Wei Yuan held his spear and met him. Seeing him accept the challenge, the Liao leader shouted, and his long blade swung out several zhang of blood-colored blade light, slashing with the force of splitting mountains and cracking rocks!

This blade was equivalent to a Dharma Form strike, fierce and incomparable, and the blade aura shocked all the knights around, making them unable to move for a while.

But a tall warrior appeared out of thin air, blocking in front of Wei Yuan, blocking this blade with his body!

The blood-qi blade aura slashed past, and a huge wound appeared on the warrior's body, slanting across his entire body, and his huge body was almost cut in half. The inside of the wound was chaotic, and it was impossible to see what material it was, but it was definitely not flesh and blood, and there were no internal organs.

A Fire-Treading Knight Dharma Form appeared above the tall warrior's head, but it was suppressed by the formation, the Dharma Form was faint, and there was little power left. After carrying the blade, the warrior swung his horse-slashing long blade and slashed at the Liao leader's head!

The Liao leader did not dare to be negligent, raised his blade to block, and actually blocked this blade that grazed the edge of the Dharma Form! Just by this hand, one can see that the Liao leader is not an ordinary Dao Foundation cultivator, and is eight or nine out of ten an Immortal Foundation.

Wei Yuan carried the Immaculate Reincarnation and circled out from behind the warrior, raising his gun to point at the Liao leader.

The Liao leader instantly felt a warning in his heart, actually feeling traces of immortal spiritual aura! He knew that the next strike must be earth-shattering, so he couldn't care about anything else, and put all his attention on Wei Yuan.

Continuous roaring sounds suddenly erupted around, gunpowder smoke instantly filled the air, covering Wei Yuan and also covering the Liao leader.

When the gunpowder smoke dissipated, the Liao leader stood stiffly in place, with more than a dozen blood holes already on his body.

When all his attention was focused on Wei Yuan, several Dao Foundation knights around had already freed their hands, reloaded and aimed at him, and then concentrated their fire. The power of these firearms was determined to be able to hurt Dao Foundation cultivators within ten zhang. Although the Liao leader was at the late stage of Dao Foundation completion, he had no magic treasure or precious armor to protect his body, and the previous seven or eight shots had already shattered his Dao power defense, and the subsequent dozen or so shots instantly turned him into a sieve.

The leader was killed in battle, the Liao military aura was greatly reduced, and they were completely suppressed by Wei Yuan, but the remaining Liao tribesmen all knew that it was death either way, so they continued to fight desperately, and Wei Yuan's troops finally had casualties.

A knight was accidentally dragged out of the trench and was immediately pressed under layers by dozens of Liao tribesmen, with screams constantly coming from the pile of people, and the teammates beside him stabbing into the pile of people one after another was of no avail.

Several other knights died from being shot by sneak attacks from powerful crossbows at close range.

This great battle lasted for nearly half an hour, and in the end, all six thousand Liao tribesmen were wiped out.

There were Liao corpses everywhere in front of the position and on the position; more than two thousand were shot and killed by firearms, and more than two thousand were beheaded in hand-to-hand combat. Another thousand died behind the position, dying under the repeated charges of heavy cavalry.

In this battle, Wei Yuan had more than a dozen people injured and seven died in battle.

The Liao military aura dissipated, and strange auras rose from many corpses; as this aura left the body, the corpse quickly became old and haggard.

These strange auras were very obscure, and would dissipate in the blink of an eye after floating up. But Wei Yuan had been using national fortune for many years, and these auras with obvious national fortune characteristics could not be hidden from his eyes at all.

These Liao tribesmen were enlightened by some kind of national fortune secret technique, so their strength improved by leaps and bounds, and the several leaders were definitely not ordinary people from their own strength to their use of troops and formation, and did not look like they could be reduced to being used as prey in the hunting ground. Their appearance here, the reason behind it is afraid to be thought-provoking.

Wei Yuan still remembered Prince Ying's reminder, and from the very beginning, he intended to turn a blind eye to all kinds of strange things. He originally didn't even want to fight this battle, but he had a heart of sincerity, but it was not accepted.

!.

In the main hall of the base camp, Prince Cheng finally broke the silence and said: "This Wei Yuan is hiding his true strength, actually bringing five hundred Dao Foundations into the field. The Liao tribesmen's plan this time was very deep, but they were just unlucky and ran head-on into Wei Yuan. In front of five hundred Dao Foundations, losing is not unjust."

Xu Tongshou said: "With Wei Yuan's military strength, if he harbors evil intentions..."

Prince Ying interrupted him and said: "How long has he been in the Western Regions? These Dao Foundations should be secretly cultivated by the Taichu Palace and handed over to him as a foundation."

Xu Tongshou then said: "That makes sense. We still have to fight side by side with the Taichu Palace in the north, so it seems we don't need to care about this small matter. It's just that the ranking of this autumn hunt..."

The Jin King said lightly: "The chess pieces enter the game, and everyone follows their destiny. Just watch."

The screen has been at Wei Yuan's place, not switching to other places.

At this time, there were still two nearly intact troops in the field, the border troops and Prince Ying's. The scouts sent by Prince Ying's troops noticed the changes in the military camp in the northwest corner, and then the main force rushed over, beheaded the dozen or so Liao tribesmen who were covering the retreat in the camp, and then had nothing to do.

The border troops continued to pick up trash to eat in the southwest corner.

While ordering people to clean up the battlefield, Wei Yuan thought about the current situation. Although he didn't grab the treasure vault, he wiped out six thousand Liao tribesmen in one breath, and this score could not be low no matter what, which was very annoying.

Wei Yuan did have the intention to find a few more troops to have an internal strife to lower his reputation, but looking at the clothing of the attacking Liao tribesmen, he could see that only Prince Ying's and the Northern Border troops remained in the field.

Wei Yuan really didn't want to fight them, and he didn't know where they were at all. In a mountainous area with a radius of five hundred miles, where can you find them?

Helplessly, Wei Yuan could only accept reality, only hoping that Prince Ying and the border troops could be a little more promising and squeeze him out of the top two.

The top two both have national fortune shared, but the second place is much less, but no matter how little, Wei Yuan doesn't want to touch it. Carrying national fortune, he naturally became the target of public criticism. After getting national fortune, and then making some military merits in the future, opening up territory, there will be more national fortune, maybe it will be enough to ascend to the throne; what is this trying to do?

With Prince Ying's reminder, plus Zhao Tong's advance disclosure, Wei Yuan naturally didn't want to wade into this muddy water, so he was single-mindedly wanting to be at the bottom. The Western Jin national fortune is too enviable, and it is the exclusive property of the Jin King's sons; not to mention the three Military Governors, even if Prince Cheng and Prince Ying got it, they would have the suspicion of harboring evil intentions.

So if Wei Yuan gets it, it would be inappropriate; does he still have to recognize the Jin King as his foster father in the future?
