Free Web NovelChapter 2109: Chapter 205: Single Rider Breaks Through the Gate (Part 2)
How did they break through Huyang Pass?
Did Chu Shuo die or surrender?
All the terrible situations became practically possible because of this single change, causing cold sweat to form on Fan Ao’s back.
On the battlefield, information changes rapidly, and messages cannot be relayed in real-time.
He can only make contingency plans for the worst-case scenario, based on the current intelligence.
He immediately withdrew himself, returning with the status of a State Marquis, using the cultivation of Divine Arrival, without considering loss, flying swiftly to Hui Ming.
At the first moment, he sent messages to all the cities of Hui Ming Fu, released flying eagles, dispatched cavalry, urgently mobilized troops from various cities, made two units one, and three armies coordinated, linking military formations, locking passes and sealing roads, quickly forming a huge bag, sealing all space of three days’ rapid march of elite State Guard Army from Honggu City to Shaokang Fu.
Striving to cut off this ulcer in the heartland before it festers—
But as he swept many places, all he captured were the City Guard Army of Honggu City being chased around, not seeing even the shadow of a Qi Army, as if it were not a troop of three thousand but just a few Transcendent cultivators spying on military intelligence in Hui Ming, now seemingly having flown to the sky and escaped the earth.
Even if they truly escape the earth... Such large-scale military formation Dao Technique fluctuations shouldn’t escape the detection of the Seeking Origin Dogs.
Where is the problem?!
...

"Did you see that eagle?" Lying in the hollow of the mountain, Zhongxuan Sheng covered himself with a pile of grass, thinking it was concealment, squinting at the sky.
There was a lean and fierce eagle flying swiftly in the high sky.
Jiang Wang glanced indifferently: "Shall I slaughter it?"
"Can’t kill." Zhongxuan Sheng said casually: "Killing it will expose our whereabouts."
The separation of long-distance communication means is an interference that acts on the rule level. Different countries have different means, but they essentially reach the same result. For Qi Country, it’s achieved by Ruan Qin on the basis of Star Power. For Summer Country, Yu Liyang borrowed the power of national status.
In normal circumstances, transcendent techniques are endless, where is the exhaustive way? Against techniques, it can only be guarding against this and losing that.
Take the flying eagle with Demon Beast bloodline as an example, it’s not difficult for a Beast Taming cultivator to attach vision to it.
If there were no interference, a sufficiently powerful cultivator spreading hundreds of flying eagles could cover the battlefield with vision.
But in a state of war, with long-distance communication rules cut off, the result of transcendent cultivators using flying eagles as eyes is that they simply can’t get long-distance vision.
Hence, in real warfare, flying eagles can only perform the most primitive function of delivering letters, while flying beasts specially nurtured by the Taming Beast Institute, meant specifically for communication, fly both fast and high, but are still simple for transcendent experts to intercept and kill.
However, the act of being killed itself is a form of information transfer. Especially for the Summer Army of Hui Ming Fu at this time, the disappearance of a flying eagle can quickly help them lock down a target area. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
As they were talking, several flying eagles swept overhead again.
"They don’t seem to be chaotic," Jiang Wang frowned.
"Indeed, the chaos I created by releasing all the transmission flying beasts from Honggu City and falsely reporting military intelligence was quickly suppressed," Zhongxuan Sheng said unhurriedly. "Some big figures have arrived in the Summer Army, rebuilding order in Hui Ming Fu."
"Should we interfere a bit?" Jiang Wang asked.
Zhongxuan Sheng chuckled disdainfully: "We’re going to leave, what does it have to do with us?"
"Onward!" He leaped out of the mountain hollow.
The soldiers of Victory Camp jumped out from hiding places one after another, quickly forming a team, following behind Zhongxuan Sheng and Jiang Wang—heading straight for Xin Festival City.
Marching has been a major issue since ancient times.
The faster the forced march, the more it tests soldier quality and commander ability.
The more troops under command, the harder it is to control army speed.
Until the Grand Marshal of the Yang Country Forces, known as the "Military Immortal" Yang Zhen, independently created the "All-Army Beneficial Formation," it fundamentally reduced the difficulty of army marching.
This formation’s name doesn’t sound majestic.
Its effect seems sparse when described—it’s simply about utilizing the dissipated blood energy and Soldier Slayer during army advancement, to enhance marching speed, maintain soldier physique, and replenish energy loss.
But thereafter, armies of all Soldier Homes worldwide, regardless of the formation laid out or the ancestor followed, took "All-Army Beneficial Formation" as the root.
The brilliance of "All-Army Beneficial Formation" lies in the fact that if the main commanders have enough ability, the more soldiers under them, the better the effect, and "safe marching speed" becomes faster. This is truly a groundbreaking innovation over military common sense and also a revolution in transcendent warfare!
The emphasis on "safe marching speed" is because, in extreme cases, there are faster options.
For instance, if the Autumn Kill Army formed a military formation, stirred Soldier Slayer, and Zhongxuan Chuliang directly united the army to draw Slayer force, the marching speed increased by ten to a hundred times!
However, doing so, when the army reaches the battlefield, it’s only ready to be slaughtered, serving as a meal for the enemy army...
Cao Jie was able to lead a million-army to Summer within eight days, truly proving to be a famous general worldwide.
Zhongxuan Sheng led three thousand elite troops to march, yet it’s certain they can’t be that fast...
Xin Festival City is located in the eastern part of Hui Ming Fu, adjacent to Feng Li Fu, which is the must-pass place for Zhongxuan Sheng’s "Feng Li Fu Army" to return home.
Zhongxuan Sheng indeed did not lie to Chu Yulong, he really is taking people "home."
Just a few days late.
Under the aim of sharp arrows and large crossbows, they ventured through Huyang Pass. When Hui Ming Fu had not yet smelled the atmosphere of war, they easily captured Honggu City, thus stirring the situation, disrupting wind and clouds. While all Hui Ming Fu city armies concentrated on the west, they moved east!
