Chapter 165 Hu Wei's Counterattack!
On the other side, Qin Xian's army was locked in a standoff with Yue Pingzhi and Yue Shan's army.
Yue Shan was eager to drive Hu Wei's troops out, but he was also afraid that the King of Chu would launch a sneak attack from behind.
So he personally led 10,000 elite troops to the capital, leaving the rest of the army to Yue Pojun to monitor the Chu King's army.
After the Chu king's army of 100,000 was defeated by Yue Shan, only 20,000 survivors escaped.
In the ensuing battles, the morale of the King of Chu's army was low, and they could only suffer repeated defeats.
Relying on its navy and forcibly recruited new soldiers, it deployed defenses along the riverbanks, waterways, and numerous strategic points, adopting a strategy of strict defense and relentless defense.
Taking advantage of this time, the King of Chu frantically put all his chips on the table.
Training troops is secondary; he spares no effort in cultivating top talents.
He escorted a large number of laborers to the jade mine.
He unearthed countless Yin-Yang Spirit Jade pieces, and also took out a large quantity of stored medicinal herbs.
Various miraculous elixirs began to be produced in a frenzy, and a large number of experts gradually emerged.
Qianjin Yizhilou is also significantly reducing its funds at this moment. This battle is a plan that the King of Chu's advisors have been discussing for a whole month!
They seized the opportunity when Yue Shan was eager to fight infighting with Xue Mantian's army and broke through Yue Shan's army.
From this point on, with no shortage of skilled fighters and a weak army, he had a real chance to retake Leizhou.
Especially at this juncture, the Crown Prince entered Yanzhou.
Xu Tianyi and the Crown Prince are bound to clash.
In this way, once Yue Shan's army breaks through, he only needs to unite with the Crown Prince to easily drive away or annex Xu Tianyi.
No matter how things develop, as long as the Yue Shan army is defeated, I will be free to roam the skies.
It was different from what Xu Tianyi had thought.
How could he not have sent Yama, the King of Hell, to launch a sneak attack?
Yue Shan then activated his military formation and repelled Yama with a single strike.
This terrified the King of Chu for a long time.
Even if Yue Shan is not present, Yue Pojun or Yue Pingfeng can still lead the army to fight against the King of Hell's surprise attack.
Therefore, what the King of Chu hated most was Yue Mountain.
He had never seen such a powerful military formation.
At this moment, he was no longer in the mood to play with women and quietly waited for a response from the front lines.
. . .
Meanwhile, on Yueshan's side...
The battle was a perfect success!
Qin Xian's army suffered repeated defeats.
He led an army of 10,000 men in a fierce attack from east to west.
Yue Pingzhi led 10,000 troops to cooperate with the Shen family's firearms army in launching a counterattack.
Qin Xianjun began to suffer repeated defeats.
Shangfang Valley, this is the place Yue Shan decided to use to defeat the enemy!
He and Yue Pingzhi had a well-developed battle plan.
By employing tactics such as forcing the enemy back, small-scale battles, flanking maneuvers, and encircling and attacking reinforcements, Qin Xian's army was driven into Shangfang Valley like a flock of sheep.
This is a complex terrain with a total of fifteen valleys.
Yue Shan continuously dispatched small groups of troops to intercept and kill them, perfectly controlling the speed at which the enemy entered the valley.
Qin Xian found it difficult to cope and tried to break the formation with his own abilities, but Yue Shan broke through it with a single blow and he had to retreat.
A large number of surrendered and deserting soldiers appeared.
Clearly, the quality of the troops differs greatly.
This was by no means an evenly matched battle.
Even Yue Pingzhi's army was beyond Qin Xian's ability to defeat, as the enemy's numerous firearms caused him great suffering.
He wanted to organize his elite troops to attack Yue Pingzhi, but each time Yue Shan would accelerate his charge in an attempt to surround him, which made him afraid to leave the sight of Yue Shan's army.
Soon, he was forced into Shangfang Valley.
The remaining 30,000 troops were scattered across fifteen hilltops, and there was a growing trend of defeating them one by one.
That damned Yue Shan is leading a thousand personal guards to keep an eye on him. If he tries to come to his aid, Yue Shan will immediately charge into his army's formation.
He had never felt so frustrated.
It's easier to shake a mountain than to shake Yue Fei's army!
He finally understood that sentence.
Every time he heard that Yue Shan and others were not doing well in their resistance against the grassland coalition, he thought that Yue Family Army was nothing special.
Looking back now, it's either because the grassland allied forces were strong, or because Yue Fei's army was deliberately letting them down.
The practice of nurturing enemies to enhance one's own prestige is perhaps something the Yue family was also doing.
As one team after another was wiped out.
The entire army was gripped by fear and panic.
Large numbers of soldiers had no will to fight and ran amok across the mountains and fields.
After Lu Feiyang led the breakout attempt but was killed, the morale of the troops plummeted to rock bottom.
They witnessed Lu Feiyang, a master-level expert, being cleaved in two by a man engulfed in flames.
Then a fireball the size of a house crashed down, exploding in the air and setting fires for hundreds of meters around it.
Wildfires raged, and smoke and dust billowed everywhere.
Qin Xian felt a sense of despair, and at this moment, he also had the intention to surrender.
But the next second, Ji Canghai in mid-air was blasted away by a tiger's roar.
Qin Xian's heart leaped with joy: "General Hu has returned victorious!! Reinforcements have arrived!!"
The guards around him all roared in unison.
Throughout the battlefield, Hu Weijun's soldiers managed to maintain their morale.
Ji Canghai, who was also fully armed, was filled with rage after being knocked away.
After letting out a roar, he went to meet them.
Hu Wei was fierce and violent, and Ji Canghai had been resentful of his defeat to Hu Wei last time, so he was even more unwilling to accept it now.
"clang!!!"
With this strike, Hu Wei was actually knocked back several steps briefly.
The King of Hell and the judges behind him, dressed in their personal guard uniforms, looked at each other in bewilderment.
They never expected that Ji Canghai would actually be here, and that he could actually fight Hu Wei, a half-step Grandmaster, with his peak Grandmaster cultivation.
In this way, it would be even less likely that Yue Shan would fight. With someone holding off Hu Wei, the enemy could simply take advantage of the situation and slowly eliminate the other soldiers. They could then surround and kill Hu Wei's entire army after it was wiped out.
The King of Hell and the judge were anxious.
He turned and shouted angrily, "General Hu, we've come to your aid!"
Upon hearing the roar of the King of Hell, Hu Wei immediately responded.
"Shut up! Mere Grandmasters! I don't need you!"
With that, he delivered another fierce slash, imbued with intense White Tiger True Qi, sending Ji Canghai flying.
Frustrated, Hu Wei charged forward and began slashing wildly, while Ji Canghai struggled to hold on.
Each of his opponent's attacks seemed to tear through his defenses, and the power of that intent was violently impacting his mind.
If one loses one's composure, then death is certain.
The more Ji Canghai was beaten, the angrier he became.
Since his debut, he has never lost, and even Xu Tianyi is his equal.
Now someone even younger than me has appeared, dominating me and even trying to kill me.
Ji Canghai, who had been praised as a genius since childhood, felt a surge of intense anger and resentment.
A subtle power of artistic conception is about to emerge!
Hu Wei didn't notice this. After slashing him away with a powerful blow, he didn't continue the pursuit. Instead, he looked at the Yue Shan army formation rushing towards them in the distance.
He glanced down at Yama and the others, and they responded with their eyes.
Hu Wei shouted angrily and landed in front of Yama and the others.
The army of over a hundred men formed a fierce tiger, staring intently at the general's army formation not far away at Yue Shan.
A hint of disdain appeared on Yue Shan's cold and stern face.
'Use what I taught you against me?'
