At the foot of Hewu Mountain, the air was filled with a chilling air.
The Shenwu Empire's 280,000 cavalry were neatly arranged in formation. Opposite them were millions of Xia Kingdom troops. As far as the eye could see, they were so densely packed that they couldn't be counted.
The two sides faced each other, and no one took action directly. After all, a battle involving millions of people was no child's play.
Three days ago, Li Junjie and Li Shuai sent someone to deliver the news. The Emperor of the Lieyang Empire sent a team of supervisors to investigate why the Shenwu West Gate had not been breached for several months.
Therefore, the nearly four-month formal war is over, and what is about to come is a bloody battle.
Leng Yan stood in front of the formation on horseback, his cloak behind him rustling.
The sound of horse hooves sounded behind him, and a deputy general in black armor rode forward slowly on a black horse.
"General, the equipment is ready. As soon as the battle begins, the fire dragon will directly cover their front line." The deputy general said softly.
"If the notice continues, today will be the decisive battle. If we can't stop our relatives and people behind us, we will all be lost." Leng Yan said every word.
"I obey the general's order." The deputy general shouted with his fists clasped, then turned his horse's head and gave the order.
"Tell me about the current situation." Leng Yan looked at the training staff on the other side and said, full of majesty at this time.
"Visually the number of people gathered by the opponent has exceeded one million. Now they are divided into ten square formations. I will venture to guess that they will use the moon-circling formation." The training staff said in a deep voice.
Leng Yan immediately thought of the moon-circling formation offensive in his mind, compared the positions of the Lieyang Empire again, and nodded.
"How should we respond?" Leng Yan asked.
In fact, for the commander, he should not ask the training staff, but when it comes to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of brothers, he still needs to discuss it with the training staff.
"There are two ways to deal with the Moon Ring Formation. One is the long snake formation, which goes straight to their central position, and the other is the Seven-Star Beidou Formation." The training staff thought for a moment and said.
"I know the one-word long snake formation, but the disparity in strength between the two sides is too great. Even if our army is brave and good at fighting, I'm afraid we will get dumped." Leng Yan shook his head and said.
"Then there is only the Seven-Star Beidou Formation." The training staff responded.
"Tell me in detail." Leng Yan frowned. He had never heard of this battle formation.
"As the name suggests, the team is divided into seven formations, namely Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang."
"Put the formation into the Big Dipper, use Tianshu to withstand the opponent's right-moving attack, and form a spoon shape between Tianshu and Tianji, so that you can surround the enemy who rushes in."
"The rest of the star array moves backwards away from the opponent, making it impossible for the opponent to surround the moon."
"This is the Seven-Star Beidou Formation. It is... newly researched by me." The training staff carefully explained to Leng Yan.
Leng Yan nodded and looked at the training staff with eyes full of approval.
"I'll do as you say. I've seen you lead a team to practice this battle formation before. Yes, it's really useful to prevent it before it happens!"
"Buzz..." Suddenly, a charge horn sounded in the direction of the Lieyang Empire in the distance.
"Ha..." Millions of people roared, and the sound echoed through the sky in an instant, and even the earth trembled.
"Set up the formation..." Leng Yan's momentum was not weak, and he shouted directly with his extraordinary level of cultivation.
"Drink..." But the momentum of the 80,000 divine warriors army is not weak at all, and even many of the horses under their crotches have begun to snort continuously.
As soon as the shouts stopped, the Shenwu army changed their formations in a well-trained manner, and soon a winding formation was formed, which looked like the shape of the Big Dipper from a high altitude.
"Cross..." The Lieyang army began to advance, their spears straightened and their steps steady.
"Prepare...for battle..." Leng Yan shook his spear and shouted.
At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out, targeting Leng Yan's head on horseback.
This scene was so sudden that no one could react and could only watch the cold arrows being fired at the general.
Unexpectedly, Leng Yan didn't even look at it. He directly raised his left hand and grabbed the Leng arrow. The tip of the arrow was less than five centimeters away from his eyebrows.
"Young man." Leng Yan broke the arrow with one hand and threw it to the ground.
"Kill..." Leng Yan pointed his spear directly at Lieyang's army and shouted.
"kill......"
"Buzz..."
The war trumpet sounded, the sound of horse hooves shook the earth, and the Shenwu cavalry swept towards the Lieyang army like a black torrent.
The soaring fighting spirit seemed to be solidified, and a gloomy and murderous aura shrouded the heads of the Shenwu Iron Cavalry as they charged forward.
"Shoot..." Leng Yan took the lead and shouted loudly. As soon as he finished speaking, the bow strings behind him rang continuously, and the sharp arrows on the Great Wall turned into black clouds and angrily smashed towards the Lieyang army in front.
"Boom..." The bowstring sounded again, and black clouds shot out again.
"Get ready to fight..." Leng Yan shouted again, and the sound of his inner strength spread far and wide.
In an instant, there was a clang sound, and all the Shenwu cavalry directly lifted their spears and clamped them under their armpits, their spear tips glowing with cold light.
Soon, the two armies collided together. The shock for a moment was indescribable. Everywhere you looked, you could see the figures.
Leng Yan took the lead, opening and closing the spear in his hand to sweep around.
The shouts of killing were loud at the foot of Hewu Mountain, and the blood gathered into a small river and flowed into the distance. They were not afraid of death for their mission. At this moment, they represented their beliefs.
Leng Yan threw himself wholeheartedly into the battle, and shot a Grandmaster-level warrior from the Lieyang Empire to death with one shot. Blood splashed all over his face, and he shouted loudly. At this moment, he was like a god of death.
The Lieyang Empire's army kept approaching, and the Shenwu cavalry resisted desperately, but the camp was eventually overwhelmed. A group of people jumped off their horses to fight on their own, and the entire battlefield instantly became chaotic.
The war horses of the Yang Family Army seemed to be intelligent. Although their masters dismounted, they were not scared away by the battlefield. Instead, they clung to their masters and protected them with their heavy armor.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the distance, and huge rocks with flames smashed over. The target was the Fluctuating Light Array, one of the seven-star arrays of the Shenwu Empire.
"Escape! Avoid!" A shout rang out in the Fluttering Light Array. The Shenwu cavalry sidled on the side of the war horse, and the war horse spread its hooves and began to gallop.
When the boulder falls, it is difficult to hit the warrior directly. At most, the splashed gravel will make a sound when it hits the heavy armor of the war horse.
"Boom, boom, boom" explosions followed, accompanied by screams. Some soldiers who could not escape were unfortunately hit.
"These beasts deserve to die..." Leng Yan looked towards the direction of the shaking light array and cursed angrily. Looking at the miserable condition of the dead soldiers, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The fireball hit again, this time it was an indiscriminate attack. Leng Yan happened to be standing in the fireball coverage area.
Fireballs exploded around him, but he was not afraid. He kept fighting with his gun in his red eyes.
