Chapter 367: Annihilation

Everyone present.

At this moment, they were all stunned.

War is an art, and in Liu Zheng at this moment, it was displayed to the fullest.

He was calm and composed, steady as could be, devising strategies and commanding the overall situation of the entire army. From the watchtower, he looked at the situation in Mang Mountain, and the Scout system—responsible for collecting, filtering, and concentrating intelligence—provided him with information at any time. Therefore, despite the raging fire in the mountains, it did not affect his clear train of thought.

"Young Master, the Southern Barbarian army has indeed passed through Longhu Gorge!"

"Young Master, in the Northeast direction, the fire has weakened!"

"Young Master, the Flying Guards' flanking harassment has already proven effective!"

The situation on the battlefield changes in an instant.

A slight miscalculation would mean total defeat. Therefore, Liu Zheng could only strive to keep his mind calm at this time. As Qingyang Shuo said, whether it is this world or the battlefield, it is actually a game of chess.

At this time.

Any movement in Mang Mountain, any chirping of insects or birds, or even changes in the river and stream water, would cause a qualitative change affecting the overall situation.

And so.

Under the dumbfounded gaze of everyone.

Liu Zheng, bit by bit, adjusted the situation on the battlefield from the watchtower with the orders he issued. The Southern Barbarian army walked this way?

Then they would harass them! Make the fire here even bigger.

The Southern Barbarians planned to split into three teams to find opportunities to leave the mountain.

Then use the fire and terrain to keep them gathered together!

One-Handed Corner, Second-Hand Robbery, Two-Move Consecutive Robbery, Ghost Head Blade, Large Diagonal Flight...

This move after another, all were articles of strategy.

This military order after another, all were profound mysteries.

Compared to his composure.

At this time, Agutuo was already in a panic, like a headless fly amidst the great fire.

"That way won't work?"

"Charge through for me!"

"Cut, cut down the trees over there, don't let the fire block us!"

"A bunch of trash!"

Although the Southern Barbarian army had gathered at the first opportunity, the raging fire, aided by the east wind, crackled and popped. Trees, flowers, and grass were billowing with thick smoke, especially this Quelehuoduo, which released a lot of gas that was extremely harmful to the body when burned.

Many people, even if they weren't burned, had already been choked unconscious by the billowing thick smoke.

"What on earth is this, what is this!"

Agutuo gritted his teeth.

He panicked.

When facing death, who could not panic?

Just like that, they did not know that the route they were taking was already a path carefully arranged by Liu Zheng, deliberately left for them—the only path to escape. However, even so, they still suffered heavy losses on this road.

Finally.

Agutuo led his army and charged toward the canyon in the Northeast corner. Seeing that the fire was weakest here, the Southern Barbarian army felt their spirits lift, thinking in their hearts that they finally had a chance to escape alive.

However, at this moment, Mr. Huang panted and said: "Great King, Great King, there is a trap, you must be careful, you must be careful!"

Agutuo said angrily: "Trap, trap, it's always a trap! Then you tell this King, where is there not a trap? Hmm? Over there, can we pass?"

Mr. Huang gave a bitter smile.

That's right.

From the very beginning, when the Mang Mountain fire was lit, they had already fallen into a passive position. They had been led by the nose the whole time.

Perhaps.

From the very beginning, they were destined to lose.

"Move, brothers, charge out for me!"

Agutuo looked at the canyon and shouted coldly: "Even if there is an ambush, so what? We Dianzhou warriors, why fear this bunch of ants?"

"Kill!"

"Charge out!"

A group of Southern Barbarian soldiers also had their morale boosted.

A great fire had already reduced their 150,000-strong army to 80,000... which meant that in the last hour, 70,000 of them had been burned to death right here!

Terrifying!

The ruthless fire!

The ruthless Longyan!

But Agutuo still believed that with the individual combat capability of his army, even 80,000 would be enough to give this Longyan army a hard time. As long as he could charge out of this canyon, he would definitely make that Prefect Liu pay!

"Go slowly, watch out for ambushes!"

Agutuo shouted cautiously.

The Southern Barbarian army immediately formed battle formations, guarding all directions.

The canyon in the Northeast corner of Mang Mountain was not small. At this time, the road was covered with corpses—corpses left over from several fierce battles between the two sides yesterday, which had not yet been cleared.

The Southern Barbarian army carefully entered the canyon, stepping on those corpses.

At this moment.

They all felt that the canyon was really too quiet, a very eerie silence!

Behind them, the raging fire continued to crackle. This made the canyon appear even quieter. Many people's nerves were pulled taut.

Agutuo roared even louder: "Weak Han people, if you have the ability, come and ambush this King!"

"Come on! This King will fight you for three hundred rounds!"

"Come out!"

"A bunch of trash!"

Echoes resounded repeatedly.

No one answered.

Agutuo laughed wildly: "A bunch of guys playing at ghosts and gods, this King is right here, come on!"

This Agutuo was a notorious fierce god in the Southern Barbarian Lands, with astonishing martial prowess. He was naturally burly and possessed innate divine strength; his appearance was not a whit inferior to Meng Huo from the Three Kingdoms period. His specially made Vine Armor, which covered his entire body, was impervious to blades, spears, water, and fire.

Therefore, he was so arrogant, not fearing at all that arrows might strike at this moment.

These few roars truly increased the momentum and morale of the Southern Barbarian army significantly.

……

On the watchtower.

A group of people, at this moment, all looked at Agutuo with pitying eyes.

His lifelong fierce reputation in the Southern Barbarian lands was about to end here.

It is hard to say whether this is his luck or his misfortune……

The lucky part is.

He will die at the hands of the Longyan Dynasty's currently rising Prefect Liu, which does not diminish his reputation.

The unfortunate part is……

Today, this 150,000-strong Southern Barbarian army is about to be completely wiped out.

At this moment.

A curved bow appeared in Qin Zhangfeng's hands.

A Rocket was lit and nocked on the string……

His eyes, like those of a Falcon, stared fixedly at a corpse in the canyon.

He was waiting.

Waiting for more of the Southern Barbarian army to enter the canyon, waiting so that his single arrow could blow up more people.

After all, it was an 80,000-strong army; entering in sequence, it was still a long dragon of significant scale.

A group of people.

Just watched as Agutuo roared, shouted, and laughed arrogantly.

Finally.

When the majority of this 80,000-strong army had walked into the canyon.

Whoosh!

Qin Zhangfeng hesitated no longer.

That Rocket pierced through the air.

Its speed was extremely fast.

Admittedly, this suddenly appearing Rocket was still very abrupt and obvious before the dawn had arrived. However, this arrow was truly too fast.

Agutuo roared, drew his blade, and wanted to hack at it.

But no matter how hard he tried, he still brushed past this Rocket.

That arrow.

Pierced into that corpse covered in black filth.

And then.

With a boom, the entire canyon shook violently.

The earth moved and the mountains swayed.

Firelight soared into the sky.
