Chapter 497 Zhao Yun Faces the Enemy

Bai Qi had completed his battle to annihilate the enemy, and in the other two locations, battles were also unfolding.

First was Zhao Yun's side.

Zhao Yun had also taken the lead in bringing his subordinates to a suitable spot to ambush the enemy.

Zhao Yun's [Wu Dang Fei Jun] numbered only twenty thousand, but this army was not weak. Especially in this kind of jungle warfare, their strength was absolutely formidable.

[Building: Wu Dang Fei Jun]

[Level: 60 (Upgrade Required)]

[Quality: R (Upgrade Required)]

[Attributes: For every 1500 soul coins consumed, one soldier can be summoned. Current maximum summonable soldiers (200000/20000)]

[Special Attribute 1: Mountain Warfare Combat Power +60%]

[Special Attribute 3: Mountain and Jungle Warfare All Attributes +60%]

[Special Attribute 4: Enhanced Camouflage Ability]

[Special Attribute 5: Extra Speed +60%]

[Special Attribute 6: Stamina Recovery +60]

Although the quality of this army was not top-tier, its strength was not to be underestimated.

Zhao Yun's enemy this time was numerous, totaling fifty thousand, more than double his own forces. Therefore, Zhao Yun utilized the jungle's advantage to conceal his army.

Zhao Yun had already observed that these fifty thousand troops were not concentrated. They advanced in seven or eight distinct formations, which would significantly reduce their speed if rapid reinforcements were needed.

With the existence of reconnaissance aircraft as a cheat, Zhao Yun could clearly understand the enemy's every move.

As the enemy drew closer, they also dispatched dozens of scouts to reconnoiter the jungle.

The stealth capabilities of the [Wu Dang Fei Jun] were exceptional, and they were not discovered by the enemy. As the scouts moved away, the vanguard of the fifty thousand strong army came clearly into Zhao Yun's sight.

These troops did not halt but proceeded directly to the location where Zhao Yun had laid his ambush.

As the enemy approached, Zhao Yun made a decisive command and said to his soldiers, "Loose arrows!"

Twenty thousand soldiers immediately unleashed volleys of arrow rain upon the approaching enemy, and with the arrows flying, these enemies fell one after another, struck down.

"Enemy attack! Quickly raise shields to block!"

The enemy general, upon being attacked, quickly shouted and ordered the shield bearers to position themselves at the front.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Yun chuckled and said to his soldiers, "Ten thousand continue the attack, the other ten thousand mount your horses."

Zhao Yun was the first to mount his warhorse and said to his soldiers, "Charge with me!"

The warhorses roared and galloped, their thundering hooves informing the enemy that cavalry was approaching.

"Spearmen, prepare!" The enemy also immediately formed ranks in the direction from which the horses were charging.

The archers in the distance stopped their volley only when Zhao Yun was about to engage the enemy. They then mounted their horses and charged towards the enemy's front.

However, they fired their arrows while riding, making it difficult for the enemy to react.

Soon, Zhao Yun, mounted on his warhorse, surged forward and plunged into the enemy ranks. He wielded the Dragon Soul Spear that Zhou Yan had gifted him. This weapon possessed potent spiritual energy, and currently, very few generals in the territory could wield such a thing.

This spear was incredibly powerful, and under Zhao Yun's command, it unleashed terrifying might.

Zhao Yun executed the move "White Bird Facing the Phoenix," his spear technique like a dragon and phoenix dancing, accompanied by thunderous roars. With incredible speed, one strike shattered the enemy's shield and impaled the warrior behind it.

Zhao Yun quickly pushed into the enemy formation, creating a strong opening for the troops behind him. The soldiers then poured in, engaging the surrounding enemies in a brutal melee.

With the [Wu Dang Fei Jun] in full force, they left a trail of corpses. At this moment, the soldiers on the right flank also mounted their warhorses and began to trample and sweep through this enemy force.

This enemy army indeed numbered fifty thousand, but they were infantry, and each contingent was spaced apart. It would take too much time for them to form an encirclement around Zhao Yun.

After the vanguard was attacked by Zhao Yun, the enemy troops further back reacted and quickly organized their forces to charge forward.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun did not linger. He first led his troops away into the forest.

"Pursue them! We cannot let them escape!" The enemy immediately gave chase. In the jungle, the speed of cavalry could not be significantly increased.

Therefore, upon entering the jungle, Zhao Yun had his soldiers dismount and deliberately lead the enemy towards a specific area.

"Conceal yourselves!" Zhao Yun led his soldiers to a pre-arranged location and ordered them to hide. He also dispatched a small group to deliberately draw the enemy's attention and flee forward.

The pursuing enemy, seeing the fleeing troops ahead, gave chase without hesitation.

Zhao Yun, meanwhile, had his soldiers retrieve their bows and arrows and hide in the shadows. When the enemy drew near, he again gave the order: "Attack!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!"

Another volley of arrows took the lives of thousands of enemy soldiers.

Zhao Yun then moved towards another location, not pausing.

When the enemy forces in the rear arrived at the scene, they found only a group of fallen soldiers, which filled them with rage. They all pursued in the direction Zhao Yun had fled.

Zhao Yun, utilizing the [Wu Dang Fei Jun]'s speed bonus in the jungle, would immediately retreat after each wave of enemy slaughter, while simultaneously sending scouts to lure the enemy forward.

After several such ambushes, the enemy forces were reduced by another ten thousand. This greatly infuriated them. This kind of fighting was incredibly frustrating.

"This cannot go on. If it continues like this, we will all be wiped out bit by bit!" A general among the enemy spoke.

"Why stop? As long as we pursue, we can eliminate them."

"The enemy's speed is too great. Why can they move so quickly?"

"My soldiers have suffered too many losses, with only a thousand remaining. We cannot continue to be played for fools like this."

"I believe we should retreat and leave this cursed place."

"You despicable cowards! If you have the guts, fight us head-on! What kind of heroes hide and flee like this!"

...

The enemy was fighting in a state of extreme frustration, anger, and helplessness. Faced with Zhao Yun's elusive army, the more they pursued, the more they died.

Since the fifty thousand strong army lacked a unified commander, their opinions clashed. However, they eventually decided to continue the pursuit, but they would no longer split up and must pursue as a cohesive unit.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yun decided to lure them into a prepared area.

Thus, Zhao Yun dispatched a detachment, deliberately allowing them to be seen, and then led them to a specific location.
