Under the overwhelming impact of the Xuanwu Guards led by Jiang Chengdao himself, more than 100,000 former forbidden troops fell in pieces like wheat.
At the same time, due to Empress Dowager Zhao's misjudgment of Jiang Chengdao's ability, the Chinese army's main tent was only more than ten miles away from the battlefield. Although this distance is very safe for most wars, in the face of the menacing enemy The Xuanwu Guards simply did not have enough buffer and had no time to adjust their tactics.
And no one knows how strong Jiang Chengdao's personal strength can be.
If the Holy King in its heyday were placed in modern times, it would be almost equivalent to a nuclear bomb-level existence.
Even more exaggerated.
It is not impossible to take the head of an enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops, even if it is a Holy King who cannot exert his full strength.
The distance of more than ten miles is really not safe for them, facing the Holy King Cangming who has shown such terrifying power. It can even be said to be extremely risky.
Just in case, for the sake of safety, the Empress Dowager Zhao and Xia Houyan, who were the core of the Forbidden Army, could only abandon their vehicles to protect the commander, and ordered the Chinese army and a group of experts to come forward to desperately block the Xuanwu Guards' offensive. They themselves took the Xuanfeng Banner behind them. Withdraw, and at the same time order the left and right flanks and rear troops to move forward.
Their departure caused the Martial God Formation to become ineffective in an instant. After losing the blessing of the Martial God Formation, the former army, which was no match for the Xuanwu Guards, instantly collapsed like an avalanche and spread like a flood to the surrounding areas.
Soon, the former army collapsed completely.
The soldiers ran towards the rear crying for their fathers and mothers. No matter how ruthless the supervising team was, they could not stop the decline of the imperial army. In an instant, they were trampled into a pulp by the collapsed group of defeated soldiers.
Fortunately, the two wings of the Forbidden Army arrived in time, and the rear army also acted quickly. With the support of hundreds of thousands of Forbidden Army from three directions, they finally managed to stabilize the battle situation.
Facing the regrouped imperial army, Jiang Chengdao slightly clenched the black spear in his hand.
At this time, his whole body was stained with blood, and the black heavy armor on his body was constantly leaking dark red blood. The originally dark mane of the Jueying BMW sitting down had also turned blood red, and even the breath he exhaled when he snorted was filled with blood. A flash of bright red.
He no longer remembers how many imperial soldiers died in his own hands.
The tip of the spear was dripping with blood, and it was stained with minced meat of different colors.
Behind them, tens of thousands of Xuanwu Guards were treading on a path of blood made of the flesh and blood of thousands of Forbidden Soldiers, while in front of them were countless Forbidden Army soldiers that were slowly pressing down like dark clouds.
However, even so, there was no trace of fear on Jiang Chengdao's face under his mask.
Although there are many enemies, they can be killed with one strike!
Under the shadow of his extremely powerful back, although the Xuanwu Guards looked slightly tired, they did not waver at all and still followed Jiang Chengdao's footsteps firmly.
The strongest army in the northern border of Central Continent is nothing more than this!
Jiang Chengdao slowly raised the spear in his hand, preparing to boost his morale and charge again.
But just when he was about to speak, Jiang Chengwan's voice suddenly sounded in his mind:
"Brother Imperial, the enemy army is huge. Let's go back to the city to rest. I'm almost at my limit."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengdao immediately shouted loudly: "The whole army obeys the order!"
Xuanwu Guard suddenly looked stern, waiting for Jiang Chengdao's order.
"Turn the horse's head around and return to the city!"
"promise!"
Almost instinctively, the Xuanwu Guards immediately turned around, showing extremely high obedience.
Although they didn't understand why the Holy King ordered to return to the city when he was so powerful. Although there were many enemy troops, even they couldn't kill them all. They could also bite off a piece of flesh so hard that it would hurt their muscles and bones. .
And in their understanding, with the power of the Holy King, even if they use up their last bit of strength, the Holy King can use the supreme holy power to take them away from the battlefield.
But no matter how hard they figure it out, they will execute Xuanwu Guard's orders meticulously.
This is obedience engraved in their bones.
Xuanwu Guard turned around and rushed towards the city gate quickly, but Jiang Chengdao still held his spear tightly and stood proudly on the spot.
It is still necessary after the break.
However, it is enough for him to defeat the enemy alone!
When the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army saw the Xuanwu Guards retreating, there was no joy in their eyes. Even if Jiang Chengdao was the only one left behind, they did not dare to rush forward to pursue the front army after witnessing the tragic situation of the front army. Instead, they marched steadily. No one wanted to be a Cannon fodder used to consume the Holy King's physical strength.
Looking at the Imperial Army marching towards this side step by step, Jiang Chengdao's eyes were high and contemptuous.
"The majestic First Army of Great Xia, the tiger and wolf army that once killed everyone in the hands of my father, has now fallen into such a situation. It is really sad."
Shaking his head, Jiang Chengdao tightened his grip on the horse's belly after the Xuanwu Guards retreated to a safe place.
hiss! !
The Jueying horse neighed, galloped with iron hooves, and led Jiang Chengdao away from the battlefield quickly.
And his peaceful departure also announced that the first confrontation between the Cangming Army and the Forbidden Army ended with the Cangming Army's crushing victory.
Under the east city wall, tens of thousands of forbidden soldiers closed their eyes forever.
After this battle, most of the front troops of the Forbidden Army were killed or injured, and the surviving soldiers were frightened to death. Even with the blessing of the Martial God Formation, it was difficult to form a fighting force.
Not only that, after seeing the overwhelming and terrifying combat power of Xuanwu Guards and Jiang Chengdao, other Forbidden Army members were also cast a deep shadow deep in their hearts.
Is this an army that any human being can contend with?
The morale of the Forbidden Army was greatly affected. If it were not for the strong prestige accumulated by Queen Mother Zhao and Xia Houyan over the years, the morale of the entire Forbidden Army might even be turbulent to the point where it is difficult to control.
Even though the morale of the army has not faded, hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops have gradually begun to lose their morale.
The deterrence brought by the Holy King is too terrifying, especially after witnessing the Holy King wreaking havoc on the battlefield, this psychological shadow cannot be easily overcome.
At night, the gates of the capital were closed, and the imperial troops camped more than thirty miles away from the city gates.
Empress Dowager Zhao sent most of her masters to guard the surrounding areas, and Xia Houyan also arranged for tens of thousands of elites to take turns on duty, closely monitoring any disturbance in the surroundings. At the same time, she ordered the soldiers to stay awake at night and be ready to meet the enemy at any time, for fear that Jiang Chengdao would launch an attack in the dark.
The huge imperial army was extremely afraid of the mere 30,000 Xuanwu guards commanded by the Holy King.
The power of the Holy King can be seen from this.
However, what they didn't know was that Jiang Chengdao couldn't attack at night at all now.
It wasn't that he had exhausted too much physical energy today and needed to rest, or that Xuanwu Guard was too exhausted, but because Empress Jiang Chengwan needed time to recover her Holy Spirit power to support the power of the holy relic.
At this time, in Ziji City.
Jiang Chengwan and Jiang Chengdao, who looked tired, sat opposite each other.
Jiang Chengwan rubbed his swollen temples and said softly: "Brother Emperor, where have the 200,000 Cangming troops gone now?"
Jiang Chengdao sat upright and did not do anything inappropriate based on his brother's identity and position as the Holy King.
"I received news a few days ago that the army has arrived in the Yunlan Mountain area. It is expected to arrive in the Luojing area tomorrow, helping His Majesty to completely control the world in one fell swoop."
Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and the tense expression on his face quietly relaxed a little.
"in this way……"
She pondered for a moment, and a gleam suddenly flashed in her eyes.
"Let's start the next phase of the plan."
"promise!"
The next day, the meeting was canceled again.
Jiang Chengdao, along with a few courtiers such as Li Zheng and Xie Hongyun, took advantage of the first ray of light in the morning and led 20,000 Xuanwu Guards out of the gate of Luojing East City. They moved forward at high speed in the warm morning sun towards the place where the Forbidden Army was stationed. Speeding away in the direction.
