After conquering Long Yi's territory, Long Shan and Grelu immediately gathered their soldiers and began to move out of the territory.
Outside Long Yi's territory, Bai Qi had already engaged in battle with the Long family's army.
The dense arrows of the [Great Qin Black Armored Army] tormented the enemy, causing heavy casualties. Finally, at the cost of a large number of cavalry, they broke through to Bai Qi.
But Huo Qubing's [Great Han Iron Cavalry] also charged forward, attacking the enemy's flanks and launching another round of harassment.
If it weren't for the overwhelming numbers of enemy troops behind them, Huo Qubing would have annihilated the entire enemy force.
The enemy forces fully converged at this point, but the soldiers from the two neighboring territories had already suffered heavy losses.
"We're here!"
"What's the situation?"
"Long Yi's territory has been destroyed."
"Damn it, they're too fast."
"Kill them all and preserve Long Yi's territory!"
One of the twelve territories of the Long family had been eliminated, leaving eleven. The total number of soldiers from these territories exceeded one million. However, while the other soldiers were converging, Bai Qi had already eliminated nearly fifty to sixty thousand of them.
The enemy, confident in their superior numbers, attacked Bai Qi without regard for casualties.
Bai Qi's objective was to tie them down. He did not retreat, using the demon soldiers and beastmen to lead the charge, while the Great Qin Black Armored Army rained arrows upon the enemy's central army.
Huo Qubing, Zhao Yun, Sun Shangxiang, and other heroes had already moved to the enemy's rear, their mission being to block any reinforcements.
On the other hand, upon learning that the enemy's main army was being held back by Bai Qi, Chen Qingzhi, Gao Shun, and Meng Tian finally launched their assault on the enemy's territories.
"Kill!"
Innumerable abysses sent the enemy into a panic, and alarms were immediately sounded as they began to contact their lords.
Their lords had already left with ninety percent of their soldiers, leaving only a few thousand soldiers to defend the city walls. Such a force was no match for Chen Qingzhi and his men.
Even Chen Qingzhi and his men were surprised by the meager defending force.
Upon discovering the state of the enemy's defenses, Chen Qingzhi immediately said, "Gao Shun, let's split into groups and attack other territories. If I'm not mistaken, other territories are likely in the same situation and won't have many people guarding them."
"Alright!" Gao Shun, having the same thought, immediately led his soldiers to attack a neighboring territory.
Meng Tian also led his flying dragon legion to attack one of the territories.
Not long after Chen Qingzhi entered the territory, he found that the enemy had indeed abandoned their posts. He dispatched ten thousand men to destroy the enemy's lord crystal and then moved on with the rest of his forces to attack the next territory.
They never expected the enemy to leave only a few thousand soldiers on each city wall.
This was an unprecedented opportunity for them.
As the crystal of the second territory was destroyed, Long Twelve's shouts immediately ceased, and his former soldiers felt a sense of unease.
Long Twelve shouted, "No! My lord crystal has been destroyed!"
"What!"
"No way!"
"How could this be!"
"Damn it, we've been tricked! The enemy must have sent another army to attack our territory!"
At this thought, fear, dread, anxiety, and panic washed over everyone.
None of them had left many soldiers in their territories, with the most being just over twenty thousand. If the enemy attacked with a hundred thousand troops, their territories would fall quickly.
However, they overestimated themselves. Chen Qingzhi and his men didn't need a hundred thousand troops to break through their territories.
"Quick! Retreat!"
"We're in trouble! Our rear is being ambushed!"
"Someone's a traitor! They're actually retreating mid-battle!"
"Our territories are gone, we have to go, we have to leave."
"I've had enough, I don't want to fight anymore."
"Let us go!"
This made Long Twelve's face turn extremely grim. These were once his soldiers, but now he had no control over them whatsoever.
With the lord crystal shattered, their sense of loyalty to their lord had vanished completely.
Why should they continue to fight for someone who couldn't even protect their own crystal?
"Everyone, listen to me. If you continue to follow our Long family, we will not treat you unfairly," Long Wu quickly said.
Just then, Long Eleven's face turned pale with shock, and he roared, "Damn it! My territory's crystal has also been destroyed!"
"Come on, charge out!" Hearing this, the others paid no mind to anything else and were desperate to return to their own territories.
The enemy's morale had completely collapsed.
Some wanted to leave, some wanted to return to their territories. Even their lords were in a panic and anxious, let alone their soldiers.
This was the saying, "When the general is timid, the soldiers are timid." Despite the million-strong enemy army, they posed no threat at this moment and were incapable of mounting an effective attack.
Unfortunately, as Long Ten's territory was also eliminated, the number of deserters in the enemy army increased.
Seeing this, Bai Qi sneered and said, "Kill!"
The enemy's morale was at an all-time low, while Bai Qi's side grew increasingly energized.
"Surrender and live!" Zhang Liang ordered.
Bai Qi was momentarily taken aback but said nothing. Without Zhang Liang, he would have ordered everyone killed, as they were useless.
"Surrender and live!" The cry echoed through the army.
In an instant, the enemy was in disarray.
Someone took the lead, dropping their weapons and saying, "I surrender."
"I surrender too."
"Don't kill me, I surrender."
The clatter of weapons hitting the ground filled the air as more and more enemies surrendered. They were terrified, and with their territories destroyed, they had lost faith in the Long family.
"Get up, everyone, and fight!" The lords of the few remaining, intact territories began to shout.
But no one paid them any mind. Apart from their own soldiers, everyone else ignored them.
Furthermore, the lords who wanted to leave and support their territories couldn't return. Their soldiers were in chaos, mixed with other troops, making it impossible to break free and return.
"It's over." The Long family lords knew they were finished.
As expected, with more and more Long family territories destroyed, only two remained to resist stubbornly.
The enemy army, once a million strong, was reduced to less than a hundred thousand.
