"Damn it, how does the other side have so many armor-piercing arrows? The materials for these arrows are not easy to find!"
The lord of [An Wu City] saw this scene through the projection and was furious. Tens of thousands of cavalry were wiped out like this, which pained him deeply.
The commander of [An Wu City] immediately ordered a retreat and stopped sending out cavalry. Facing such armor-piercing arrows, they were indeed troubled. Even shields could not block them.
Subsequently, the army in front of [An Wu City] began to move, revealing a huge passage.
A dense sound echoed, and Bai Qi quickly saw the enemy releasing Yin Beasts, each three meters tall. These Yin Beasts were all clad in various protective armors, with sharp teeth and bloodthirsty eyes.
Their numbers were enormous, densely packed, and they were charging towards Bai Qi's army.
The enemy intended to use these Yin Beasts to deplete Bai Qi's armor-piercing arrows.
"We don't need armor-piercing arrows to deal with these Yin Beasts," Bai Qi smiled. Their arrows came in many varieties.
"The Marshal is absolutely right. I think a barbecue feast is more appropriate for these Yin Beasts," Zhang Liang also said.
"Let's follow the strategist's advice," Bai Qi nodded.
Upon hearing the red flag raised by the messenger, the soldiers of the [Great Qin Black Armored Army] all switched to a type of red arrow. These arrows had immense power once fired.
The soldiers quickly got ready. As the Yin Beasts re-entered their attack range, another dense volley of arrows was launched towards them.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
The red arrows covered the entire sky, as if the whole sky had been painted into a red ocean.
As the arrows fell, hitting the Yin Beasts or landing directly on the ground.
Instantly.
"Boom!"
These arrows all erupted with terrifying flames. The covered area turned into a sea of fire. All the Yin Beasts were engulfed in flames and then burned by the terrifying inferno.
"Damn it, flaming arrows! What is the origin of these scoundrels? How did they switch to another type of arrow!"
The lord of [An Wu City], seeing this, became even more furious. Both the armor-piercing arrows and these flaming arrows were not made from ordinary materials.
Yet, the other side not only possessed them but also in considerable numbers, which troubled them.
Although their numbers were twice that of Bai Qi, if they continued to be depleted like this, they would likely have all ten times their army annihilated.
"Order the entire army to charge. We cannot be depleted like this bit by bit. Even if we suffer some losses, as long as we can engage the enemy in close combat, we will be able to defeat them."
The lord of [An Wu City] did not want to continue depleting, nor did he want to wait any longer. The longer it dragged on, the more danger his brother's territory would be in.
The commander of [An Wu City] soon received the order for a full charge. Although the other side knew it was not the time for a full charge, they still ordered a general offensive.
To reduce casualties, he dispersed the army, allowing more soldiers to break through the zone of death ahead.
Out of the million-strong army, [An Wu City] also dispatched fifty thousand flying troops, who charged towards Bai Qi from above.
Bai Qi saw them and ordered, "Meng Tian, the ones in the sky are your responsibility."
"Marshal, rest assured, I will not let a single enemy reach our soldiers," Meng Tian replied immediately.
Meng Tian was currently the commander of the [Flying Cavalry Army]. As for the [Flying Dragon Army], it was directly commanded by Bai Qi himself, with Meng Wu serving as the副将 (fùjiàng - second-in-command).
Meng Tian's副将 was Meng Yi. Upon receiving the order, Meng Tian said to Meng Yi, "Let's each lead half of the [Flying Cavalry Army] and destroy the enemy's flying troops."
"No problem!" Meng Yi replied confidently.
Meng Yi and Meng Tian, each leading fifty thousand [Flying Cavalry Army] troops, charged towards the enemy in the sky.
Even the [Flying Cavalry Army] was equipped with flying cavalry armor, and each flying cavalry soldier carried sleeve arrows.
Before approaching the enemy, they would first fire a volley at them.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
These sleeve arrows were convenient to carry, fast, and surprisingly lethal. Once they hit the enemy, they inflicted great damage.
As soon as the sleeve arrows struck the enemy's flying cavalry, they let out screams and fell to the ground.
Subsequently, the flying dragons of the Flying Cavalry Army opened their mouths and unleashed various attacks at the enemy flying cavalry. Storms, sonic waves, ice, and other energies were continuously released from the mouths of the various flying dragons.
The enemy's fifty thousand flying cavalry had no such abilities as flying dragons. Before they could even get close, they began to suffer continuous losses, being attacked incessantly and falling from the sky.
They had no escape route. The hundred thousand flying dragons surrounded them and began a massacre.
It was a one-sided battle; their strength was too weak.
Not only did the [Flying Cavalry Army] have an absolute advantage in mounts, but their equipment was also incomparable to the enemy's.
The lord of [An Wu City], seeing his hard-earned flying cavalry army on the verge of destruction, his eyes were about to pop out from heartache.
He never imagined that the enemy's flying troops not only outnumbered his own by double but that their cavalry were actually flying dragons. Ten thousand flying dragons, where did they come from?
As the kings of the sky, there were not many flying mounts that could contend with these flying dragons. The annihilation of fifty thousand flying cavalry was only a matter of time.
On the ground, as the army of [An Wu City] fully deployed, the arrows of the [Great Qin Black Armored Army] could indeed not cover the entire battlefield.
However, it was not only the [Great Qin Black Armored Army] that could use archery. It was just that other armies' archery was not as powerful as that of the [Great Qin Black Armored Army].
Therefore, the [White Robe Ghost Army] and the [Formation Breaking Camp] also brought out bows and arrows and attacked the enemy.
The arrows fired by three hundred thousand troops were truly dense and terrifying.
Although the enemy was scattered, they still suffered horrific damage. Countless enemies fell under this rain of arrows.
Each attack consumed three hundred thousand arrows, but every soldier in Zhou Yan's territory had at least a hundred arrows.
There was no way around it; Zhou Yan was not short of money.
Money makes people willful.
The lord of [An Wu City], seeing his army suffering heavy casualties, his face turned as black as charcoal.
Before even getting close to the enemy, tens of thousands had been killed or wounded. No one would feel good about such a result.
By the time they finally closed in on Bai Qi's soldiers, their numbers had dwindled to less than half.
Out of a million troops, less than five hundred thousand remained when they approached the enemy.
The lord of [An Wu City]'s entire face turned as black as charcoal. He was furious and immediately ordered, "Send out another million troops! We must annihilate all these enemies, kill them all!"
