Free Web NovelChapter 2163: Chapter 226: Punishing the Senior Officials
The process of Yisheng Feng’s ascension in life...
was abruptly halted.
The resonance between heaven and earth was like the residual sound of a broken string, dissipating gracefully.
Some regrets were inevitable.
Wei Guangyao felt a chill while leading his troops in a rapid charge.
He looked up—
The Min Xi Corridor returned to winter tonight, with snow swirling under the moonlight and starlight.
Clearly, it was just past New Year’s Eve. free𝑤ebnovel.com
This should be the season when all things flourish.
The snow naturally melted away as it approached the Soldier Slayer, but his heart inevitably headed towards the frosty sky.
He did not see how Chu Min died.
When he brought his well-prepared army, formed a battle formation, and approached, he only saw the bodies of foreign beasts, the fragments of puppets, and the silent Yisheng Feng in mid-air.
His gaze surveyed the ground for a while before he saw the forever immobile Chu Min.
From receiving the command flag signal, to quickly organizing the battle formation and forming the Soldier Slayer, he was as fast as he could be.
But the one who was supposed to quickly eliminate Jiang Wang was instead rapidly dispatched by Jiang Wang...
The fallen was not a nameless figure, but Da Xia’s Chu Min!
Yet he died quietly, without a sound, without a stir.
The commotion caused by Yisheng Feng of Southern Dipper Palace, however, was magnificent, with such terrifying killing intent, completely unlike a burst of Outer Building level, almost shattering his imagination space... but it further highlighted the power of Jiang Wang’s sword.
He had never seen Jiang Wang before, only heard of his name, but after this glance, he could no longer forget.
Changing the celestial phenomena, altering the seasons, calling frost to arrive with a single sword!
What kind of sword was this?
How could it not make one’s heart and courage tremble!
Chu Min was dead, Yisheng Feng was dead. What did Summer Country have left?
There was still Lord Zhou Xiong...
And the large army...
In Min Xi, there was still me, Wei Guangyao, and fifty thousand Summer Country troops!
One-armed Wei Guangyao roared in anger: "Avenge General Chu!"
He was not Tai Yin, could not easily command a ten thousand-man battle formation. So although he led twenty thousand troops, only seven thousand soldiers mixed into the Soldier Slayer.
The remaining thirteen thousand were divided into two groups of seven thousand and six thousand, following closely behind, allowing him to replenish the battle formation’s strength at any time, so he could disregard the soldiers’ stamina and exhaust without worry.
Gu Yong and Xu Can divided their ten-thousand troops into two five-thousand formations, similarly forming a battle formation to condense the Soldier Slayer, with one as reinforcement.
The last ten-thousand troops, following Chu Min’s orders before his death, started setting up crossbows and defenses on surrounding high mountains when the Nine Sons Mountain Ring Formation was launched—originally intended to completely block Qi Army’s retreat, slaughtering all living forces of the Qi people.
Those who could easily control the battle formation were rare talents.
It was not that Chu Min was foolish, unable to utilize the advantage of their military strength, but limited by their capabilities, they were already using the army to the greatest extent...
The sole godly cultivator, Zhou Xiong, was an orthodox disciple of the Confucianist Gate, skilled in Legalists’ secret techniques, but mediocre on Soldier Home’s path, insufficient to unify fifty-thousand troops. He was a town guard in Chang Luo Mansion, rarely involved in warfare, with only a small elite cavalry under him, which he did not bring this time.
Precisely due to these various realistic factors, they devised the prudent strategy of "first eliminating enemy general, then breaking enemy army."
Combining intelligence on both sides, it should have been foolproof.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned, the first step was not successful!
Jiang Qingyang evaded Zhou Xiong, killed Chu Min, slain Yisheng Feng, carving a path out with life.
Making Wei Guangyao both resentful and wary.
Amidst flying snow, the husk of Yisheng Feng fell, red-eyed Xia Army soldiers charged, three clouds of Soldier Slayer, one like a tiger, one like a longspear, one like a blade... freёwebnovel.com
Jiang Wang didn’t look.
He did not indulge in the feeling of power but immediately crossed the void, swiftly rushing towards Yan Po and Zhou Xiong’s battlefield!
In the entire Min Xi battlefield, Xia Army still held the advantage in troops and battle formations.
But with Yan Po holding Zhou Xiong, after Chu Min and Yisheng Feng successively fell, Qi Army gained the upper hand in high-level combat power. It can be said this advantage was carved by Jiang Wang with a single longsword.
Though he was not versed in military strategies, he knew how to win a fight.
If he could help Yan Po quickly resolve Zhou Xiong, with the joint force of two free powers far superior to the enemy general, coupled with Zhongxuan Sheng, defeating Xia Army would be a matter of moments!
He chose to let Zhongxuan Sheng alone lead the army to confront the enemy, naturally out of trust.
Zhongxuan Sheng did not disappoint him.
Thirty thousand Qi Army unfolded like a flower blooming in frost sky, richly layered.
In military capability, he was on a completely different level from these Xia Army generals before him! The only one capable of contending with him, Chu Min, had already perished due to a wrong decision, under Jiang Wang’s sword.
Xue Rushi led eight thousand troops of New Glory Camp, forming a battle formation and directly colliding with Gu Yong’s forces.
Shisi, with the cooperation of Qingzhuan and others, commanded Zhenwu Camp, confronting Xu Can’s forces.
The strength of these two camps was inferior to the opponent, also needing to withstand the pressure of Nine Sons Mountain Ring Formation, yet their morale was high!
Having been Xia Army, now Qi Army, even with the act of betrayal, they needed to strive to demonstrate their choice was correct! Otherwise, it would be especially uneasy.
The continuous victories led by Zhongxuan Sheng were one reason, Jiang Wang’s recent incredible sword strike left them with an invincible impression.
At this moment, advancing through the snow, all felt an innate sense of invincibility.
And Zhongxuan Sheng himself unified the Eastern Region alliance’s ten-thousand troops, violently charging at Wei Guangyao’s forces! He even had spare strength to command the most elite Victory Camp, darting towards the distant mountain shadows—quickly destroying the enemy’s battle formation, seizing the high ground, also crucial to the battle.
