Yin Zhong is a god of war and the core of the military aura. In today's military philosophy, the so-called god-like use of troops is no longer just an adjective of pure praise, but a real manifestation. This is the case with Yin Zhong at the moment. He seems to have the power of ten thousand troops, and his whole body is surrounded by the strong military aura, turning into a rust-colored aura.
As the general of the vanguard army, Yin Zhong led his troops to charge into the front and was no match for any demons or monsters he encountered.
"Die—"
Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…
Yin Zhong raised the weapon in his hand, and the weapon turned into a hurricane as it spun. The terrifying light and shadow swept forward as he ran wildly. No matter whether they were monsters or those "people" with hideous faces like ghosts, they were all torn to pieces.
As Yin Zhong led his troops forward, a soldier with ferocious muscles carrying a large flag also galloped behind him in the army formation. The flagpole was ten feet high and the flag was ten feet high, with the words "Da Zhen Wu Zu" written on it.
One man charged into the battle formation and killed many demons directly. Behind him, the Dazhen soldiers advanced with their weapons, fighting bravely and refusing to retreat despite all the casualties.
"Kill—" "Kill—" "Kill—"
Looking from above and below the big city of Qiliang State from a distance, it looked like a group of Dazhen soldiers shrouded in bright rust-colored evil spirits transformed into sharp triangular spears, fiercely piercing into the heart of the demons, constantly tearing the demons' flesh and blood into pieces.
Some demons' five elements control spells were not powerful enough to shake the army's formation and were scattered by the evil spirit. Or when they were threatened by fire or water, the soldiers fought bravely and rushed to the target quickly under the leadership of the general to contain the fire and water. The Immortal Master Dazhen and the practitioners in the city cast spells to counter the demons and constantly competed with them for the right to control thunder or wind, which greatly restricted the demons' magic for the Dazhen soldiers.
This kind of situation of mortal armies fighting against demons is rare in Qiliang. Although people in the country have heard of the art of war over the years, Qiliang is a small country with not many standing armies, let alone any generals who can stand up to the standard. Not many of them work hard to study the art of war, let alone the art of war.
So at this moment, not to mention the soldiers and warriors on the city wall, even the immortal cultivators and ghosts and gods could not help but stare blankly downwards.
"Da Zhen Wu Zu... Da Zhen Wu Zu!"
The local city god murmured, saying that if he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe the scene before him.
"Lord City God, this military strategist... can actually have such power!"
But it is no wonder that the people from Qiliang Kingdom were so shocked. Even the generals and immortal masters on the Dazhen Navy's mechanical warships were also shocked.
When the people on the tower ship were looking at the battlefield below, Yin Zhong and some generals and captains in the army seemed to ignore gravity and could soar into the air with the evil spirit. They could not only shoot and kill sky monsters with bows and arrows, but also carry weapons into the sky.
“How amazing!”
"How old is General Yin? He is so amazing!"
The immortal master on the side couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Although Yin Zhong is no longer a young man, his appearance is still handsome and people can't help but ignore his age. Moreover, for a cultivator of immortality, forty or fifty is really not a big age.
The commander-in-chief of the three armies on the side stroked his beard and smiled as he looked at the Dazhen soldiers below.
"General Yin is a master of the art of war, a great general with extraordinary talent and lofty ambitions. He can gather the strength of thousands of troops. Even when facing an old demon who has practiced for thousands of years, he has the strength to lead his troops forward!"
"A strong general makes a strong soldier, and a strong soldier makes a strong general!"
A general was holding a weapon, speaking the true military words, and his heart was very excited. Seeing Yin Zhong and his thousands of troops rushing to fight below, he wished he could take their place.
"The Marshal and the other generals should not be too optimistic. The demons here behave strangely. They can even restrain themselves from devouring the people around them. I'm afraid there are more powerful demons who can suppress them and drive all these demons and monsters crazy!"
All the generals of the Dazhen army had serious expressions as they watched the fighting below. Some generals also grabbed their bows and arrows, ready to support Yin Zhong at any time. They shot arrows from the tower ship with equally powerful force.
In this excited and vigilant situation, the fighting below was in full swing, and the artillery fire on the Dazhen mechanical warships never stopped. The huge monsters were killed with solid projectiles, and the small monsters in groups were killed with gunpowder core projectiles. Fortunately, with the help of immortal magic tools like the Qiankun Bag, the consumption of artillery shells could be sustained for the time being.
Cannons are naturally effective against some small demons and monsters, but they are a little weak against some powerful demons. At most, they can cause some minor injuries. It's not that the damage is not great. If they can really hit the target, the terrifying impact is also very powerful. But the problem is that it is difficult to hit the target. After all, this is not archery, and it is difficult to have any accuracy. The bullet fragments are not fatal to the target with thick flesh.
The favorite targets of the cannons of mechanical warships are targets that are numerous and can be hit at will. When dealing with some truly powerful monsters and demons, the possibility of relying on cannons to kill the monsters is too small, and it still depends on the fighting of soldiers and generals.
So later on, in order to save ammunition, the artillery fire on the mechanical warships had basically stopped, and the soldiers provided support by shooting arrows.
Yin Zhong held a steel spear in his hand and led the Dazhen soldiers to charge into the demon formation. His hands danced with the spear like lightning, and the evil spirit was an extension of the weapon. He swept through the army and killed nothing but the demons within a few feet of him.
The Dazhen soldiers were naturally powerful, but fighting against demons was by no means easy, and casualties were increasing. However, unless they were seriously injured, they would not retreat even with minor injuries.
Unlike what some people who already had guesses in their hearts worried about, until Yin Zhong led the Dazhen soldiers to kill all the demons and monsters outside the big city, leaving corpses everywhere, killing them all and forcing the demons to flee in panic, no more powerful beings appeared.
The most powerful ones were a few big monsters, but those big monsters were not very lucky. Two of them were entangled by the city god and ghosts in the city. One of them was unlucky enough to be hit on the head by a solid bullet from a cannon, making him unconscious for a while. He was then shot by the crossbow of the Fa Lian Po Xie Crossbow, and then Yin Zhong seized the opportunity to behead him. Another big monster retreated when he saw the situation was not good.
Yin Zhong stood on a huge demon corpse to calm his breath. He could feel the general situation of all his brothers in the army. He could roughly feel the losses of this battle without his subordinates counting the casualties.
Not all of the 100,000 Dazhen soldiers came down this time. After all, the more people does not necessarily mean better. They also have to consider whether they can be deployed effectively. There were about 46,000 soldiers who charged into the battle this time. Thousands of soldiers were killed in the battle, and even more were injured.
This made Yin Zhong's heart bleed. These were all carefully selected brave and strong soldiers, comrades who had lived and trained together in the camp for many years. Killing many monsters could not save the lives of his comrades.
But at the same time, Yin Zhong was also extremely proud, because this time they were facing a terrifying demon, but none of his brothers retreated. Maybe they were afraid at the beginning, but later they all turned into murderous intent. He, as the commander, felt this particularly clearly. In the end, the entire army achieved a result that was enough to shock the world.
This result may not be surprising to some immortal masters, but it is only the military achievement of the human dynasty. In the eyes of some practitioners, it is to slay demons and monsters with mortal bodies, and to fight against a large number of demons. No matter how many powerful these demons are, the facts are the facts.
Until this moment, all the soldiers of Dazhen army breathed a sigh of relief. They won the battle, and the more or more terrifying opponents that the immortal master of the army imagined did not appear.
The people in the big city of Qiliang State also reacted, and then sporadic cheers began to be heard from inside the city and on the battlefield outside the city. Soon the cheers seemed to turn into a tide.
They had won, but after the generals of Dazhen learned the latest intelligence, they also realized that the current situation did not seem optimistic.
The current situation of Qiliang State is not optimistic. Even several neighboring countries to the northwest of the country have encountered extremely serious situations. More and more monsters are appearing. There may be many serious situations like this big city. The contacts between all parties have long been cut off and the country has become a mess.
Naturally, Dazhen's army would not ignore this situation. The military formations of the military strategists killed the enemy directly with force, and charged in groups to strangle the enemy, which was more suitable for clearing out the monsters in similar situations.
Of course, this was not only an opportunity to train troops and spread the reputation of Dazhen, it also made Yin Zhong and others aware of the danger. The immortal master and the city god in the city all thought that there must be some extraordinary demon behind it. Even if they were wrong, the emergence of this demon chaos was extremely intriguing and was by no means a good sign. The appearance of both transformed demons and big demons was also a considerable threat.
But what no one knew was that far away in the sky, there was a man shrouded in darkness, standing in the dark clouds, looking at the army and the city in the distance.
"Dazhen Wuzu? Flying warship?"
The evil demon now felt much better than before, but today he saw that the power of the so-called "military strategists" had reached such a level. Although it naturally posed no threat to him, the corpses of the demons that were killed by the army in the battle just now were already scattered outside the city.
It's only been a few years? It would be fine if there was only one Wen Quxing and Wu Quxing in the human world, but now there is really a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending. If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, it is really hard for the evil demon to believe it.
Later in the evening, the evil demon flew silently towards the city. The Dazhen warships had already landed and the soldiers were either recovering from their injuries or resting.
But with the presence of ghosts and gods patrolling and immortal cultivators setting up formations, the evil demon entered the city easily as if it were an empty place, and flew straight to a large inn that was separated from the city, as if it was a familiar route.
There was a mechanical warship parked in the backyard of the inn. Most of the soldiers were resting on the boat, and those who were seriously injured were all transferred to the inn. Yin Chong was also reading at night by light in a room in a separate courtyard.
The fighting during the day did not seem to have left Yin Zhong with a trace of fatigue. He used an iron stick to pick up the wick to make the light brighter, then tightened his cloak and flipped the book in his hand. He did not realize that an uninvited guest had entered the room.
The evil demon narrowed his eyes and looked at Yin Zhong. Even though he had withdrawn his troops, the general in front of him was still surrounded by a faint military aura. The martial arts aura on him was also extremely strong. Needless to say, compared to ordinary mortals, he was considered a powerful figure even for ordinary practitioners.
'It's a bit interesting, but if you can't command thousands of troops, you're just a warrior after all... Monks control water and fire, and the way of the military strategist is to control the soldiers. Those who can come up with this way are considered to be geniuses!'
The evil demon moved closer to Yin Zhong, looking at this great general with a strange smile. If this...
Just when the evil demon was thinking of something bad, he suddenly saw the book in Yin Zhong's hand. There were some difficult-to-understand symbols on it, and there were also heavenly characters emerging. Various changes occurred on the pages of the book, and there were actually rounds of obscure light spreading out, vaguely seeming to be forming some kind of formation...
The evil demon didn't even notice anything about this book just now. There should be no formation in the world that can do this.
"Formation?"
With a shock in his heart, the evil demon instantly left the room, but the vague light was still spreading, so he did not dare to stay there and flew directly into the sky.
'Who is it? Could it be Ji Yuan? Did he predict that I would be here?'
The evil demon swept his eyes in all directions inside and outside the city, looked at the places where the warships landed, and even swept his eyes towards the distance and the clouds in the sky. He made a decision in a breath, and then left quietly. This was in Yunzhou, and the risk of stirring up trouble was already very high, so it was better not to gamble.
