Hast was stunned. The other party had actually ignored the international prestige of their Tolsis · Led family and directly issued an attack order.
"You will definitely regret this," Hast shouted.
"Regret is something enemies should consider. What we do is send you to see your lord. Oh, sorry, you won't have a chance to go back," Zhang Liang said nonchalantly.
The lord had said that the territory now feared no one and there was no need to worry about anything when acting. The territory was no longer what it used to be. If anyone thought they were easy to bully, they could just come at them.
Zhang Liang knew Zhou Yan's personality very well. Even if he told Zhou Yan about what happened here, Zhou Yan would issue the same order. Since that was the case, why bother doing it unnecessarily?
"Very well, you just wait and see. Even if we only have a hundred thousand men, we want to see if you have the strength to devour us all!"
Hast was indeed very angry. This was the first time he had encountered such a tough enemy who didn't even take them seriously and had issued an attack order without hesitation.
"Qin Repeating Crossbow Armor-Piercers, prepare!" Bai Qi ignored the enemy's roar and raised his sword.
The Qin army immediately switched to a very special type of arrow. These arrows were very expensive to produce and their materials were scarce, but for Zhou Yan, this was nothing.
These crossbow bolts could pierce heavy armor, but they required a considerable amount of spiritual energy to unleash their power.
With the current cultivation levels of the Qin army, they could only fire about ten times before their spiritual energy was depleted. One could imagine how powerful these crossbow bolts were.
Weren't the enemy's defenses supposed to be very strong? Then let them try the territory's various methods.
The territory had dozens of types of crossbow bolts alone, and each type had considerable power. It was just that they were often not used.
This time, Bai Qi just wanted to test the armor-piercing capability of the first type of crossbow bolt.
"Fire!" Bai Qi said again after the soldiers had switched to the armor-piercing bolts.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The sky-piercing armor-piercing arrows, infused with countless spiritual energies, dyed the sky snow-white, like daylight. It was as if billions of fireworks were soaring into the sky and then falling down.
"Defense shields!"
The enemy shouted, and then a powerful light erupted from their bodies, forming a defensive energy shield that protected the hundred thousand men.
However, these were armor-piercing arrows. They possessed armor-piercing capabilities and could also break through very powerful defense shields. But the first volley of armor-piercing arrows was blocked, although it consumed a lot of the enemy's spiritual energy.
"Fire!" Bai Qi was not surprised. This was all within his expectations. He just wanted to see how many more volleys the enemy could block.
This time, the enemy found it even more difficult to resist. They could feel the power of these armor-piercing arrows. Each block required them to expend a large amount of spiritual energy.
Hast, who was protected, had a very grim expression. He said to the other generals from different territories, "What should we do? The enemy seems determined to annihilate us all."
"We can only break through. With so many of us, we can break out as many as we can. I didn't expect the enemy to be so strong, with so many types of troops. Our reinforcements are already on their way. As long as we break through and rendezvous with them, we might still turn the tide!"
Hast revealed his plan to the others. They had miscalculated this time, but Hast was very unwilling to accept it.
"How many reinforcements do we have this time?" other generals asked.
"Combined, there are another two hundred thousand. I think the enemy has at most this many soldiers, so we just need to hold on and break through to meet the main army," Hast replied.
"Two hundred thousand reinforcements, that's great! If only they could have arrived sooner."
"Don't think about it. Marching at night is not fast. We can only break through and rendezvous with the reinforcements."
"General, these arrows from the enemy are too powerful. The soldiers are consuming too much spiritual energy and are about to be unable to resist." A soldier handed an arrow to Hast.
"These are huge arrows that can break shields, sh*t! How can these guys have so many of these arrows? Where did they get the materials to forge them? Damn it!"
Hast's face was grim, and then he ordered, "We can't wait any longer. We'll break out in the same direction now. We must not scatter, otherwise the enemy's cavalry will annihilate us one by one!"
The other generals' faces also turned grim when they saw these armor-piercing arrows. They naturally knew the power of these arrows and how difficult the materials were to find. They did not expect the other party to have so many.
"Okay!"
The generals quickly returned and ordered their subordinates, "Charge out!"
"Charge!"
Facing the Qin army's armor-piercing arrows, the enemy naturally could not sit still and began to break out towards the rear.
"As the Minister predicted, they are going to break out. The rear is a retreat route that the Minister deliberately left, isn't it?" Bai Qi looked at Zhang Liang after seeing the enemy's change.
"A cornered beast's struggle is not beneficial to us. It's better to leave them a sliver of hope and then extinguish it. Isn't that more interesting?"
Zhang Liang smiled, appearing extremely confident. This was all his doing, and he had more surprises planned for the enemy.
The enemy began to charge towards the rear, but they still left tens of thousands of men to hold off Bai Qi and his troops. These men did not last long. Soon, their shields were broken by the armor-piercing arrows, and they were shot dead.
Although the armor-piercing arrows were expensive, their power was equally great. tens of thousands of enemies were all killed in just two volleys of arrows.
However, the Qin army's ten volleys of armor-piercing arrows were also almost used up, and their spiritual energy was depleted, making it impossible to fire such armor-piercing attacks anymore.
Zhang Liang and Bai Qi began to command their soldiers to pursue the enemy. The enemy thought they could escape far, but unexpectedly, as soon as they fled, they encountered an obstruction.
After a wave of heavy cavalry charged past, the enemy finally realized that the rear was full of traps.
Following the heavy cavalry, there were beastmen who were waiting in full force. Facing these immensely strong beastmen, few soldiers could match them in a one-on-one fight.
However, Hast's abilities were still quite good. Even with so many powerful troops blocking them, he broke through wave after wave of obstruction and fled towards the rear.
But he also left behind the corpses of many soldiers.
Hast's men rushed into the jungle, but Zhao Yun was already waiting for them in the jungle. When he saw the enemy approaching, a volley of arrows was launched towards the enemies below.
