Chapter 898

The next morning, the two armies began to approach, and by the time the red sun hung high, they had completed their formation and were confronting each other from a distance.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield was very strange. Ten thousand heavy-armored infantry of Azure Void dismounted and lined up in front, with all war horses placed at the rear, protected by war chariots.

Opposite the Azure Void army formation were thirty thousand Zhao Kingdom iron cavalry, spears like a forest, sabers like frost, and firearms hanging by the horses. Behind the iron cavalry, there were another one hundred and fifty thousand Zhao soldiers pressing the formation, some were troops brought by the Zhao Wang, and some were Cui Shutong's army.

On both sides of the battlefield, one side was Li Chengfeng's one hundred thousand strong soldiers, and the other side was Li Zhi's fifty thousand cavalry.

Zhang Sheng looked at the time and said: "The time is about right, sound the horn!"

The sound of the horn rang out, and the war officially began. Cui Shutong, in full military uniform, drew his long saber and shouted, his voice shaking the wilderness: "Great Zhao iron cavalry, attack with me!"

Thirty thousand iron cavalry moved in unison, gradually accelerating, charging toward the Azure Void army formation. Above the iron cavalry, the military spirit actually transformed into three war wolves!

Seeing this, the Zhao Wang smiled at his left and right: "Old Cui is still not old in his treasure saber! He has the style of the past!"

The Zhao army iron cavalry naturally separated while advancing, with a team splitting off from the left and right, accelerating forward, circling a large arc, and charging at the left and right wings of the Azure Void army respectively. The three routes of iron cavalry arrived almost at the same time, showing the elite nature of the Zhao army!

But at a distance of a hundred feet, the Azure Void troop had already opened fire first, a row of gunpowder smoke instantly permeated in front of the formation, and many Zhao Kingdom iron cavalry fell directly from their horses, suffering heavy casualties in the blink of an eye. Almost as soon as the first round of roaring ended, the second row of gunpowder smoke appeared, and the dense sound of gunfire almost connected into one piece!

The Zhao Wang's face instantly turned iron-blue, saying: "What kind of guns are they using, how is the rate of fire so fast?!"

Where could the ministers answer? They could only watch in fear, wishing they could hold their own cavalry and let them charge faster.

The sound of gunfire was as dense as thunder and rain, and the permeating gunpowder smoke had already shrouded the entire army formation. In a short time, Azure Void had already fired multiple shots, almost one shot per breath. Thirty thousand iron cavalry lost thousands in an instant, only then entering the range of the cavalry spears.

The Zhao cavalry were all well-trained and could shoot with guns while on galloping horses, but after a round of shooting, they only saw sparks splashing on many Azure Void soldiers, who were hit and swayed, but many actually stood firm and did not fall!

In this round of counterattack, Azure Void's casualties were just over a hundred. The Zhao Kingdom iron cavalry were equipped with double-barreled firearms, and after two rounds of shooting, they would switch to cavalry spears or sabers, preparing to charge the enemy formation.

But after two rounds of shooting, Cui Shutong was horrified to find that the Azure Void army formation was not in chaos at all! His heart sank immediately; he knew very well what it meant to charge a heavy-armored infantry formation with a strict formation using cavalry.

It was just that at this time, the momentum of the charge had been formed, and the war horses had all accelerated to the highest speed, and could no longer be changed.

The Zhao Wang in the distance closed his eyes until he heard continuous muffled roars, only then did he open them.

The Azure Void army formation kept shooting until the very last moment, and then at the critical moment, all the soldiers picked up the heavy shields at their feet and braced them with all their strength.

The remaining Zhao Kingdom iron cavalry immediately crashed into a wall of copper and iron, like sea waves hitting a reef, splashing countless water flowers. Many cavalrymen flew directly off their horses and fell into the center of the Azure Void army formation. And the Azure Void army formation was only bumped and shrank inward, still remaining strict.

The cavalry charging the left and right wings saw that the situation was not good, and a few cavalrymen on the periphery desperately turned, did not crash into the army formation, and escaped.

The surviving Zhao Kingdom iron cavalry immediately engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Azure Void soldiers. But this batch of Azure Void soldiers were wrapped from head to toe, holding large-caliber short guns, with a thick short saber attached to the gun body, slashing like the wind, and could fire a shot from time to time. This short gun had great power; being hit by it was like being hit by a heavy hammer, and even if it couldn't pierce the armor, the bones inside would be shattered.

Once the hand-to-hand combat started, the Zhao Kingdom iron cavalry were slashed down in batches. Among these ten thousand Azure Void soldiers, Dao Foundation cultivators were as numerous as hair on an ox; even without firing, just relying on the slashing saber, killing the Body Forging Zhao soldiers was like cutting vegetables.

Cui Shutong's eyes were red, and he personally charged into the formation to fight, killing several Azure Void soldiers, but then heard someone say: "Your Excellency is a Dharma Form after all, why bother moving against small soldiers? It is somewhat losing face. Azure Void's Feng Chutang, waiting for instruction."

Cui Shutong didn't say a word, and a two-headed giant lion viciously pounced on Feng Chutang, but then a large area of ruins appeared around them, and a Nether Dragon waved its claws to block the giant lion, and both sides began to fight.

In the blink of an eye, Cui Shutong had already fallen into a disadvantage. He couldn't help but feel horrified in his heart, secretly thinking about what kind of background this young cultivator in front of him had; this Dharma Form was not generally powerful!

Seeing the Zhao army fall into a bitter battle, suffering casualties every moment, the Zhao Wang finally sighed and said: "Withdraw!"

An old man in gorgeous clothes beside him had a gloomy face and said angrily: "This little girl is too arrogant, this Duke will go and give her a lesson!"

"Duke Zhongguo, wait..." The Zhao Wang's shout was a moment too late; the old man was an Master Yu Jing, and as soon as the Zhao Wang spoke, he had already arrived above the battlefield.

Then a large area of mountains and ancient forests appeared on the battlefield, and the soldiers of both sides fighting felt as if a giant rock was pressing on their bodies, and standing was very difficult. But the Azure Void military spirit only shrank slightly, still condensed and not scattered, in turn weakening the opponent's Mind-Reflection World.

The old man in gorgeous clothes in the air was furious: "This Duke has come forward, and you still dare not stop! Today this Duke will teach you little girl a lesson on behalf of your elders!"

Zhang Sheng had been standing still in the middle army, only then did she look up and sneer: "I was wondering who it was, so it's a high-level Master Yu Jing cultivator! No wonder you could strike like thunder when you saw my Dao Foundation. It's just that with your Mind-Reflection World, wanting to teach me a lesson, I fear it is somewhat difficult." ===== CHAPTER 899 =====
