This time the enemy general was finally dumbfounded. He had no idea whether his army should continue to charge, because he didn't know the details of Ye Li's Soul Gathering Cannon, and didn't know how many times Ye Li's Soul Gathering Cannon could attack.
In fact, Ye Li himself did not expect that the results achieved by the Spirit Gathering Cannon would be so brilliant. The only drawback was that it consumed too many spirit stones. The last few rounds of attacks had already consumed tens of thousands of high-quality spirit stones.
In the Nine Souls Continent, strong defensive measures are rarely seen on the battlefield. Most attacks are resisted by soldiers relying on their own strength.
After all, there are not many long-range attack methods in this world, and close-range combat does not require so many defensive methods. Soldiers just need to fight as hard as they can.
Because there has never been any means of attack similar to the Soul Gathering Cannon, the soldiers here naturally lack the ability to defend against related attacks.
After all, on the Nine Souls Continent, there isn't even the kind of long-range spell attacks that exist on the Black Eye Continent; all combat is close range.
The different combat environments over the years naturally lead to different combat methods and habits.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Nine Souls Continent are proficient in one-on-one close combat and are not used to long-range attacks.
Ye Li's Soul Gathering Cannon is something that is beyond most people's imagination. The soldiers had never thought that they would encounter such a powerful long-range attack on the battlefield.
The killing power of the Soul Gathering Cannon is even stronger than that of the giant crossbow. After one attack, ordinary soldiers have no power to resist at all.
If there were no limit on spirit stones, Ye Li could flatten the entire continent with 500 spirit gathering artillery regiments, and the remaining 2,500 cannons could just be used as decoration.
After being separated and slaughtered twice in succession, the enemy commander finally realized that the battle could no longer continue, and immediately gave the order to prepare for the entire army to retreat.
However, Ye Li would naturally not give the other side a chance to leave easily. Just when the enemy began to turn around and retreat, the soldiers of the Flying Wing Regiment had all flown out from the top of the city and chased after the enemy soldiers.
On both wings of the garrison city, the Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment, under the guidance and cover of the Cavalry Regiment, began to chase in the direction of the enemy's escape.
Ye Li had only 500 spirit gathering cannons deployed on the top of the city walls, and there were 2,500 spirit gathering cannons remaining. When they all appeared together to chase the enemy, it undoubtedly gave the enemy an enormous force of oppression.
"Retreat quickly... Retreat quickly..."
The enemy commander finally panicked and began issuing orders to his troops.
However, the 70,000-strong army consisted of infantrymen, without even cavalry. How could they possibly outrun the legion under Ye Li's command
Whether it is the Cavalry Regiment, the Flying Wing Regiment or the Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment, they all possess extremely strong mobility.
It didn't take much time for Ye Li's Flying Wing Group to catch up with the enemy. Arrows began to fly continuously, chasing and shooting at the enemy's rear.
While fleeing, the enemy could only hold their shields on their heads to barely defend themselves from the arrows, looking extremely miserable.
The soldiers of the Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment quickly caught up to the enemy not far behind. The two soldiers standing on the artillery carriage began to work together to control the Soul Gathering Cannon, and while moving, they aimed at the enemy brigade.
The soldiers of the Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment had come into contact with this type of combat tactic in previous training.
However, since it was the first actual combat exercise after all, their attacks were not very accurate, and many of the cannons missed, but most of the attacks still fell into the enemy's formation.
The lethality of 2,500 soul-gathering cannons is far more terrifying than that of 500 cannons. Fortunately, the enemy soldiers were standing relatively loosely during their escape.
If they formed a square formation like in the previous battle, the enemy's casualties would probably be doubled.
With just one cannon shot, the enemy's casualties reached about four thousand people. The entire rear row of soldiers was not reduced by one or two rows, but an entire square formation. Such horrific casualties made the faces of the enemy generals turn pale.
They couldn't understand in their hearts what the Soul Gathering Cannon was and how it could have such powerful destructive power.
If the Tongxin Alliance possessed such a powerful weapon, why didn't they use it earlier? With such destructive power, unifying the entire continent would be a piece of cake.
The Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment chased after the enemy and began the second round of aiming. The enemy general was not a mediocre person. He reacted in a moment and shouted to his men: "Everyone, scatter and run away. We will meet at Tianya Mountain!!!"
After he said this, the army of 60,000 people suddenly began to disperse. The soldiers each chose a direction and ran away, becoming a group of scattered soldiers.
The second round of Soul Gathering Cannon attack that had just been launched did not achieve such great results this time. After all, the enemy's formation was completely scattered, and it was difficult for the Soul Gathering Cannon to hurt several enemies at the same time.
After this round of attack, the casualties were less than 2,000 people, which was really a loss.
In just two rounds of attacks, the Spirit Gathering Artillery Regiment lost 25,000 high-quality spirit stones. This rate of consumption is truly unbelievable.
Not daring to use the Soul Gathering Cannon again, the Cavalry Regiment could only rush out first and chase the enemy together with the Flying Wing Regiment soldiers.
The enemy's loose formation was a bit frustrating for the cavalry regiment, because their charge could not kill many of the enemy. In the end, they could only break up into small groups of 100 people and carry out small-scale harvesting.
This pursuit lasted for nearly half an hour, until the spiritual energy of the Flying Wing Regiment soldiers was almost exhausted. They fell down and returned to the monster bed of the Cavalry Regiment.
Of the enemy's 90,000 troops, only 50,000 were able to escape. The entire 40,000 troops fell into Ye Li's hands.
Even Ye Li himself did not expect that the lethality this time would reach such a level. The Soul Gathering Cannon had an extremely huge lethality to the soldiers of the Nine Soul Continent.
However, after the power of the Soul Gathering Cannon was exposed, the enemy would definitely come up with defensive measures, such as engraving rune formations on the shields and connecting the power of the shields to form an aura shield wall to resist the bombardment of Ye Li's Soul Gathering Cannon.
Moreover, after this battle, Ye Li no longer dared to use the Spirit Gathering Artillery Regiment casually. A battle in less than an hour could cause him to lose fifty or sixty thousand high-quality spirit stones. This rate of consumption was simply like hitting people with spirit stones.
Even if Ye Li had the support of Li Rushan, he could not use the Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment without limits. Otherwise, once the financial resources were exhausted, his Soul Gathering Artillery Regiment would be completely useless.
