Chapter 381: Preparing to Wipe Them Out in One Go

"Boom!"

A massive golden beam blasted forth from the muzzle of the Divine Might Cannon, suddenly illuminating the entire battlefield with dazzling brilliance, accompanied by a frenzied aura that instantly covered a stretch of heaven and earth!

Several thousand cavalry troops had arrived one after another, yet within this dazzling, blinding beam, both they and the war horses beneath them simultaneously shut their eyes, allowing the beam to pierce straight through the midst of their ranks at a terrifying speed.

Everyone's body hair stood on end, their scalps went numb, as if they had just brushed past the God of Death.

Meanwhile, the three thousand soldiers of the Snow City Army stood with mouths agape, utterly dumbfounded!

They were all wearing sunglasses, having witnessed the entire scene clearly; they saw distinctly that the batch of cavalry struck by the beam had completely vanished, turned to ash and scattered by the wind amidst the terrifying impact force.

This was sheer power that left not a blade of grass alive, extinguishing all life!

The minds of the three thousand Snow City Army soldiers went nearly blank; the power of the Divine Might Charging Cannon truly far exceeded their imagination!

It was simply incomparable to those so-called helicopters and tanks!

Soon, the beam on the battlefield gradually dimmed.

Those several thousand cavalry troops one by one opened their eyes, and upon seeing their own bodies completely unharmed, they were just about to burst into laughter.

But in the next instant, they froze completely in place.

The cavalry force, originally numbering nearly five thousand, had now inexplicably lost more than half; the troops that should have been clustered together charging in formation now had a huge empty space gaping in their midst!

Where are the people?

Where did they all go?

Could they have fallen behind in the chaos just now?

Suddenly, the remaining cavalry, numbering less than three thousand, all wore faces full of bewilderment, looking around in every direction.

But the more they looked around, the more terrified they became.

"Where are the several Thousand-Household Lords?"

"What's going on? Why can't we see the several Thousand-Household Lords either?"

"They were just here!"

"Could it be that we are the ones who fell behind?"

In an instant, these fewer than three thousand cavalry troops descended into chaos, having long since halted their charge.

On Xu Que's side, the three thousand Snow City Army soldiers also wore expressions of strange peculiarity.

They had seen very clearly that those several Thousand-Household Generals had already turned to ash and scattered by the wind along with the other two thousand-plus cavalry troops.

The power unleashed by the Divine Might Charging Cannon was completely beyond what they could have anticipated.

"Stop looking! Those scum are all dead; hurry up and call all your people out! I heard you have fifty thousand troops; call them all out, don't waste time!" At this moment, Xu Que, holding a megaphone, shouted with a face full of impatience.

The cavalry troops instantly froze in stunned silence.

All dead?

The Thousand-Household Lords and the others, all dead?

How is that possible?

They were unwilling to believe such an absurd fact.

"Return, return!"

"Retreat, quickly!"

But just then, a series of shouts came from the direction of Bishui City!

The cavalry troops turned their heads to look; on the city walls, chaos had already erupted. Those people, though far away, had also witnessed the terrifying scene just now and were currently on the verge of freaking out from fear.

One cannon shot wiping out over a thousand people—this is defying heaven! Even Thousand-Household Generals at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage could not evade it; how can this battle even be fought? We must recall our troops and defend the city!

"Retreat!"

At this moment, the cavalry troops also realized something was wrong and one by one pulled on their reins, intending to turn around and head back to the city.

Xu Que certainly would not be pleased with this; since they had come, how could he let them leave?

"Why are you running? Did I allow you to go back? Whoever dares to move again, I'll be the first to fire a cannon and blast him!" Xu Que roared, holding the megaphone.

In an instant, the fewer than three thousand cavalry troops immediately changed color, forcibly coming to a halt, their faces gradually turning pale from being bluffed by Xu Que's words!

Meanwhile, the three thousand Snow City Army soldiers behind Xu Que instantly raised their eyebrows, and their spines involuntarily straightened!

Young Hero Zhuge is domineering!

Majestic and domineering, so incredibly domineering!

Ask anyone: which general dares to lead three thousand troops and directly challenge the enemy to bring out all fifty thousand of their forces together?

And with just one sentence, roar until several thousand enemy cavalry dare not move a muscle?

None, never before, absolutely unprecedented!

A sense of pride surged in everyone's hearts; fighting alongside Young Hero Zhuge is truly, damn it, face-saving!

"Where is the City Lord of Bishui City? Did he fall into a feces pit? Hurry up and send out all your troops! I'm in a real rush!" Xu Que shouted loudly; at this moment, he was genuinely anxious, wanting to capture as many cities as possible before the rental time for the helicopters and tanks expired!

But to the ears of the Snow City Army, these words transformed into: Young Hero Zhuge is truly fierce, his taunting techniques are truly formidable!

"Ding, congratulations Host 'Xu Que' for Acting Cool Successfully, reward four hundred twenty Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding, congratulations Host 'Xu Que' for Acting Cool Successfully, reward four hundred fifty Acting Cool Points!"

Ever since Xu Que fired the Divine Might Charging Cannon, the system notification sounds in his mind had not stopped, and at this moment they were still continuing to rise!

At the same time, within Bishui City.

The City Lord's Mansion was also in complete chaos, with guards continuously running over to report on the battle situation.

Lv Wencai, who had started off disdainful, now, after hearing Xu Que's taunting words, wore a face full of gloom, brimming with killing intent!

"You bunch of waste, merely a few thousand men plus a few cannons, and you're frightened like this? Don't forget we still have fifty thousand troops!" Lv Wencai roared, simultaneously donning his armor. "Men, swiftly mobilize the city's fifty thousand great army! Let that ignorant little brat see what it means to have abundant forces! This City Lord will personally supervise the battle!"

"Yes!" The guards immediately accepted the order and hurried back.

Moments later, the common people of Bishui City had all fled away from the City Wall; of the fifty thousand troops, excluding the over five thousand cavalry, only slightly more than forty thousand remained, now gathered behind the City Wall.

At the same time, the City Wall was completely filled with archers, fully prepared for an all-out confrontation!

After observing on the City Wall for a while, Lv Wencai issued an order: "All Thousand-Household Generals, hear my command! Take your men, split into small squads, and advance against the enemy! Their cannons can only attack in one direction; as long as we do not stand together, there is no need to fear them!"

"Your subordinates accept the command!"

Immediately, over thirty Thousand-Household Generals mounted their Cavalry horses and led their troops out of the city!

They formed over thirty small squads, each containing more than a thousand men, totaling over thirty thousand troops, all charging out of the city from different directions toward Xu Que's position!

The momentum was immensely vast, like an army descending from heaven!

"Little brat, how goes it? Why did this Divine Venerable hear a huge explosion from inside the city just now?"

At this moment, Er Gouzi, who had already transported several tons of explosives into the city, returned and asked curiously.

Xu Que was deploying the battle plan and had no time at all to attend to Er Gouzi; waving his hand, he said, "Hurry up and move the explosives inside; later we'll wipe them out in one go! Then I'll let you drive the Tank!"

"Good! This Divine Venerable appreciates exactly that about you!" Er Gouzi immediately became energized again, hoisted the explosives onto his back, and ran toward Bishui City!

Xu Que's eyes also swept across the Battlefield; seeing the over thirty thousand troops split into more than thirty small squads charging forward, the corner of his mouth lifted in a slight smile.

"I guessed long ago you would do this! Those driving the Tanks, hurry and bombard them! Those on the Helicopters, sweep with the Machine Guns! Drain their True Essence Power!"

"The Rocket Launchers can also open fire; aim straight at the crowds!"

"Prepare the Divine Might Charging Cannon as well; adjust the direction properly; killing a thousand people with one shot would be no loss!"

The Snow City Army, faces full of excitement, roared, "Yes!"

Subsequently, the Battlefield instantly plunged into chaos.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

"Rumble—!"

All kinds of firepower poured down like an overwhelming deluge; even though Bishui City's over thirty thousand troops had scattered, they were still beaten into a wretched state by those Bullets and Shells, able to resist only by relying on defensive Dharma Spells.

But as a result, their charging speed dropped drastically!

At this moment, a Rocket Launcher projectile descended from the sky; its terrifying impact force immediately blasted many people away.

Although they did not suffer any serious injuries, their formation was thrown into disarray.

"Boom!"

Following closely behind was the entry of that terrifying Divine Might Cannon beam, feared by all who heard of it!

Wherever the beam passed, not even a blade of the poem "Grass" grew; living beings at the Nascent Soul Stage and below were all reduced to ash and scattered by the wind!

Lv Wencai stood on the City Wall supervising the battle; watching his own troops fall in great numbers, losing their lives to the Divine Might Cannon's beam, his expression grew increasingly gloomy.

The battle had just begun; the two armies had not yet engaged in close combat, yet over ten thousand on his side had already been blasted to death. Continuing like this, how could they possibly fight?

Thinking of this, Lv Wencai no longer underestimated the enemy; he spoke in a deep voice, ordering, "Pass the command down: first sound the gong to recall the troops! Activate the Protective City Array; this City Lord will personally wield a Dharma Artifact to destroy those cannons!"

"Yes!" A guard accepted the order, immediately ran to one end of the City Wall, and struck a Bronze Zheng!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The Bronze Zheng immediately emitted a series of clear, trembling tones that resonated in all directions.

"The City Lord has sounded the gong; everyone, retreat quickly!"

Hearing the gong sound, the troops on the Battlefield immediately turned around and swarmed back toward the City Gate.

"General Zhuge, they are retreating; let us pursue them while we have the advantage!" Upon seeing this, the Second Battalion Commander said excitedly, his face full of joy.

Xu Que immediately raised his large hand, saying with a Cold Smile, "What is there left to pursue? The explosives are almost set; once they go back inside, we can wipe them out in one go! Come on, everyone, quickly aim your cannons at the City Wall; the moment the City Wall collapses, open fire immediately!"
