"Hurry! Hurry up! We must rush to Kumu Ridge as soon as possible before it is captured and stop Anyang's attack!" The general Zhou Decheng, the chief of the imperial guards, who was appointed in a critical moment, shouted and rushed with 500 masters. Among the 500 masters, Zhou Decheng was a master at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, and there was also a deputy captain Jin Guofeng, who was at the primary stage of the early Nascent Soul stage; the rest were all masters of the Golden Core stage.
These forces are the Cai State’s most powerful force.
At this moment, Zhou Decheng shouted anxiously: We must not let Anyang's army capture Kurumiling, because there are no majestic checkpoints after Kurumiling, let alone checkpoints with rigorous and complete defenses like Kurumiling.
Moreover, the Kurumu Ridge stretches from north to south, just blocking Anyang's attack. It is the only way for Anyang to send troops. After passing the Kurumu Ridge, although there are some fortresses, they are all small fortresses and can even be bypassed.
If they could hold onto Kurumiling, they could block Anyang's attack; if they couldn't hold onto Kurumiling, the State of Cai would have to face Anyang's slaughter! Anyang's butcher knife had frightened the entire State of Cai.
…
But Zhou Decheng's support was still too late. It was only a little over 120 kilometers from the Anyang border to Kumuling. Yan Zhengqing could lead more than 30,000 elite foundation-building soldiers to arrive in just over an hour.
Even taking into account the time wasted in clearing the battlefield and waiting for Li Xian's order, the total time was less than five hours.
It is more than 500 kilometers from Kuruling to Cai Guodi. Adding the time for discussion, it will take half a day to reach Kuruling. In short, it will take more than five hours.
When the elite troops led by Zhou Decheng were still 150 to 160 kilometers away from Kurumu Ridge, Yan Zhengqing was organizing the team and performing the Ten Thousand Swords Formation.
Hu Wanjun, the general guarding Ku Mu Ridge, had already been frightened. Hu Wanjun's military ability was only above average, and now that he was facing the current war, he was already scared to death.
Five hundred thousand elite troops were wiped out. Yan Zhengqing personally led 30,000 elite troops in the Foundation Establishment Stage to charge and prepared to launch an attack using the Ten Thousand Swords Formation.
This is Yan Zhengqing, this is the Ten Thousand Swords Formation!
"General, General, retreat quickly!" The guards pulled Hu Wanjun back all the way. This first checkpoint was definitely not going to work. Yan Zhengqing didn't know, but Hu Wanjun and his guards knew very well that the checkpoint formations here had not been repaired for three or four years, and the soldiers were not prepared for battle; more importantly, the spiritual stones in the eye of the formation had long been replaced.
Without the spirit stones, the strength of the formation would not even reach one tenth! In other words, the current defense of the Deadwood Ridge, although it looks dazzling with precious lights and layered formations, is all just a bubble.
Hu Wanjun immediately retreated with his personal soldiers and elite troops, under the pretext of "concentrating superior forces to stop the enemy at the most central pass."
There are three large checkpoints in Kurumiling, one in the center, which is the largest; and two on each side, which are much smaller.
The general took the lead in running away, and the remaining soldiers, who had already been frightened, rushed forward.
As a result, when Yan Zhengqing had finished setting up the Ten Thousand Swords Formation, there was no one on the top of the city. Yan Zhengqing was a little confused, but at this critical moment, Yan Zhengqing didn't care too much, and gave an order to activate the Ten Thousand Swords Formation.
