Chapter 89 Ten Thousand
Chapter 91 One Hundred Thousand (Part 1)
Lu Qingfeng stood helplessly in the middle of the desolate Gobi Desert, watching the black tide surging on the horizon.
That was Zhang Han's army of 100,000 convicts, and also the culprit that prevented him from exiting the instance normally.
What the hell?! Why?! It's just a fabricated echo of history! Why?! What's there to protect?!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get! The more I think about it, the angrier I get! The more I think about it, the angrier I get!!!
Lu Qingfeng was already furious, his eyes were bloodshot, the Blood Moon Mark was quietly circulating, and endless anger was accumulating!
So what if they have a mere 10 troops! Without reaching the extraordinary level, they are nothing but ants!
Looking at the Qin army formation again, it had already advanced quite a bit while Lu Qingfeng was in a rage.
A dark, imposing army approached from three directions, their banners fluttering like a forest, their armor gleaming with a cold, menacing light.
At the forefront were heavily armored infantry, a thousand men carrying a single battle flag embroidered with a black bird totem.
Behind them was a long-range position consisting of crossbows and catapults, with five thousand light cavalry patrolling on each flank. In the center, Zhang Han stood on a chariot, with three thousand personal guards behind him.
The malevolent aura formed by the 100,000-strong army solidified and twisted in mid-air into a black dragon nearly a hundred feet long.
The giant dragon coiled above the army formation, its scales clearly defined, its eyes bloodshot, and with each breath it stirred up a surge of malevolent energy between heaven and earth.
This is military strength.
It is a special power formed by the fusion of the dynasty's fortune, the army's will, and the battlefield's fierce aura.
In war, military power possesses an almost lawful force; it can suppress enemy morale, enhance one's own fighting strength, and even temporarily grant the commanding general extraordinary power.
For example, right now—
[Network notification: Military influence assessment in progress — Physical fitness test in progress — Willpower test in progress —]
[Check successful! You are unaffected by military forces!]
Ahead, Zhang Han raised his hand, and the war drums suddenly stopped.
The 100,000-strong army stopped in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized, their chilling aura freezing even the wind in the Gobi Desert.
"Traitor, state your name!" Zhang Han's voice, amplified by the military might, roared like thunder.
Lu Qingfeng smiled, his unleashed form instantly escalating from normal to 100%, his muscles bulging, his bones cracking, his height exceeding three meters, and dark red blood and qi patterns appearing on his body.
If you don't even know who you are, why did you come here?!
"Your dad!"
The sound reached Zhang Han's ears clearly.
"Very good," Zhang Han's eyes flashed with a cold light, "All troops, listen to my command, attack!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three drumbeats sounded, and horns blared.
The dark, imposing Qin army began to advance.
The front row consisted of heavy infantrymen wielding large shields, their shields linked together like a moving city wall.
Following them was a forest of halberds, then a square formation of crossbowmen, while chariots and cavalry began to outflank them from both sides.
Zhang Han's military tactics were always known as "like a mountain crushing an egg."
The army of 100,000 men spread out like a giant millstone, ready to grind the lone figure in front of them into dust.
"A hundred thousand troops—" Lu Qingfeng murmured, his blood boiling. "Let's see if your hundred thousand troops can wear me down first—"
He took a step forward.
The ground is cracked, and dust is billowing out!
"I'll slaughter you all first!"
"kill!"
The Qin army's vanguard roared, the shield wall accelerated its advance, and a torrent of steel swept in!
Thirty zhang!
Twenty zhang!
Ten zhang!
Lu Qingfeng lifted the heavy mountain and launched an attack.
"break!"
With endless blood and energy flowing in, the sword energy surged to ten zhang, and a horizontal slash was unleashed!
"Snap!"
Dozens of large iron shields in the front row shattered instantly, and the shield-bearing soldiers were cut in half at the waist, their blood gushing out like a waterfall!
[Network notification: You performed an instant-death check, the check was successful, the enemy is dead!]
However, the Qin army was highly disciplined, and the shield soldiers in the rear immediately filled the gap, thrusting their halberds out from the shield gaps towards Lu Qingfeng's vital points!
"Ding ding ding ding!"
The halberd tip struck Lu Qingfeng's body, producing a metallic clang, but it couldn't even pierce his skin!
[Network Notification: You have been attacked. Defense check in progress. Defense check passed! Damage received: 0]
"roll!"
Lu Qingfeng unleashed a punch, like a raging dragon emerging from its cave! It sent the three rows of shield-wielding warriors in front of him flying!
Limbs and severed bodies were scattered in the air, and blood rained down!
He charged into the army formation, killing anyone he saw. He ripped open their skulls, kneed them, and elbowed them. With each attack, the force emanated from the attacked soldier and surged outwards, leaving a row of soldiers dead from their chests.
This is the boundless power of the shockwave! Thus, with Lu Qingfeng at the center, every advance he makes results in the deaths of countless soldiers.
But the Qin army was too large.
Kill ten, and a hundred will take their place; kill a hundred, and a thousand will surge forth.
Crossbow bolts rained down from behind like locusts. Lu Qingfeng parried with his sword, the arrows sparking as they struck the sword's edge.
Occasionally, a few arrows would slip through the net and strike the body, leaving only white marks on the skin.
"Form ranks! Trap him!" a general roared.
The Qin army quickly changed formation, with shield soldiers forming a circular formation on the outer perimeter, their long halberds thrusting inward like hedgehogs, while crossbowmen behind them fired in unison, the rain of arrows almost obscuring the sky!
"A trivial skill!"
Lu Qingfeng felt a surge of power beneath his feet, and with a leaping motion, he soared into the sky, dodging the rain of arrows and halberds below.
In mid-air, Chongyue was gripped tightly by his hands, and the sword energy surged once again!
Dominate the skies!
At this very moment! A meteorite falls from the sky!
"BOOM!!!"
The center of the circular formation exploded, and the ground collapsed into a deep pit with a diameter of 100 meters. Dozens of Qin soldiers around it were shocked and bled from all seven orifices, and died on the spot!
But the Qin army fought bravely and the breach was quickly filled.
As soon as Lu Qingfeng landed, attacks came from all directions again.
Time passed by, second by second.
Half an hour later, a mountain of corpses had piled up at Lu Qingfeng's feet, and blood had soaked the ground, forming a thick swamp of blood.
The Qin army suffered at least a thousand casualties, but their formation remained tight and their offensive intensified rather than diminished.
"As expected of Zhang Han's soldiers—" Lu Qingfeng wiped the blood splattered on his face, his fighting spirit growing even stronger.
In the distance, under the banner of the central army.
Zhang Han sat upright in his chariot, expressionless as he watched the figures fighting like demons before him.
"This person—is beyond human capability to defeat." The adjutant beside him said in a trembling voice.
Zhang Han remained silent for a moment, then slowly raised his hand: "Order the crossbowmen to switch to armor-piercing heavy crossbows, the chariots to prepare for the charge, and the cavalry to flank them. Today—this barbarian must be annihilated here!"
"promise!"
The battle flags waved, and the bugle calls changed once more.
The Qin army's formation changed again.
The shield bearers in the front row slowly retreated, revealing three rows of crossbowmen behind them. The crossbows in their hands were noticeably thicker, and the bolts gleamed with a cold, eerie blue light.
At the same time, the two wing chariots began to accelerate, each carrying three armored soldiers, with sharp spears mounted on the shafts.
The cavalry, on the other hand, circled around from a greater distance, preparing to launch a surprise attack from the rear.
"Well done!"
Lu Qingfeng let out a wild laugh, his boundless fighting spirit and domineering will propelling him forward!
The target was aimed directly at the central army's banner!
"Release the arrows!"
The crossbowman commander gave the order in a hoarse voice.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
