Chapter 187: Arrived
and, I understand. Young people, you should work hard. When you reach my age, even if you want to struggle, you won't have the time or energy."“That’s what you said. I think your arrival is imminent,...Zhonghuan Sheng and Jiang Wang led their troops in a frenzied advance.
This scene was not only noticed by Ji Cheng, but also the Autumn Killing Army. Inspired by it, their military morale rose sharply and their attack became resolute.
After a long and arduous battle, the pace suddenly quickened, and the decisive moment arrived.
In the 210,000 strong army of the Yang Kingdom, couldn't there be any powerful warriors who could rival Chong Xuan and Jiang Wang
Of course not.
But the Qiu Sha army, apart from the heavy Xuan Chu Liang's personal troops, had already pressed the entire force forward. They were far inferior in strength to the Yang Army and couldn't possibly have any remaining reserves.
On the Yang army's side, the situation for high-ranking fighters is only going to get worse!

In fact, to plug the gaps in all the defenses, Ji Cheng didn't leave any troops to guard the central army.
His strategic aim was to delay at all costs, to drag things out.
When the battle dragged on, forcing Chong Xuan to personally take charge, it created an opportunity for General Yang Jiande to strike with his elite troops.

Because the mighty Qi army, with nine divisions at its command, defeated the paltry army of the State of Yang, it was only natural.
A small victory is considered normal, a big victory is celebrated, but if it's a narrow victory, it's almost like a defeat.
It goes without saying that I lost.
...or even just a draw...
If one were to encounter slander from political rivals, even a renowned general like Zhu Liang, whose reputation had spanned a lifetime, could find his name dragged through the mud in an instant.
Therefore, the pressure faced by Chong Xuan Zhu Liang was also absolutely enormous.
However, he remained as steady as a mountain, coldly watching the Autumn Kill Army and Yang Army clash in battle. He watched as the battle raged on, becoming increasingly protracted.

Yang Jiande could stand by and watch as countless soldiers from his Yang army died, waiting for an opportunity. He did not care about being ridiculed by the world for challenging a strong opponent like Xuan Chu Liang. He was willing to use all means necessary, even if it meant a desperate victory!
Both parties gave each other the utmost attention.
Changes appeared in the troops of Chong Xuan Sheng.
This fatty, when he gets serious, charges into the fray alone and without a doubt shakes things up on the battlefield.
A man and a woman rode in on horseback each.
There were no soldiers behind them, and the Yang army had already exhausted its surplus troops.
However, they were charging.
In the process of confronting Chong Xuan Sheng and Jiang Wang.
Two against a thousand armies.
There were no cries, no screams.
Silence hedging.
It passed in a flash.
That valiant woman, that man of Yang Guo who requested to die first.
Not even a ripple was stirred before Jiang Wang and Fourteenth separately killed them.
Forward, forward.
With a force of five thousand men, the army had arrived at this point, its ranks decimated. Only three thousand soldiers remained, nearly half having been killed or wounded!
For the elite Qiu Sha army, this level of casualties was already terrifying. Such damage, if not for great achievement, would be a major transgression!
However, the elite of Qiu Sha's army were also reflected in this. Though nearly half were killed and wounded, not a single soldier retreated, nor did any die with their backs turned.
All the deceased were killed facing forward, all dying on the charge.
And the Yang army, as if possessed, kept sending men to intercept them, but their ranks became increasingly disorganized and scattered.
In the end, a force of over two thousand finally met them head-on.
At a glance, they were clearly just withdrawn from the front lines. Everyone was wounded, and everyone radiated murderous intent.

By this time, even someone as capable as Jiang Wang was starting to feel exhausted. The common soldiers were naturally even more so.

However, upon meeting this enemy force, Chongxuan felt no worry but instead joy.
>
The appearance of this unit only indicates that the situation has reached its final stage.
Once this army is defeated, the situation will be clear!
“Strike and seize the flag, this is our all or nothing!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He roared and immediately launched the military formation.
The entire army's morale was high.
>
In an instant, a furious wind swept through the ranks, encompassing both generals and soldiers alike. Suddenly, they were lifted high into the air!
But see, amidst the raging wind, soldiers transformed into fierce spirits. Withered trees were snapped and fallen leaves danced in the air.
That murderous intent, like heaven and earth performing a dance of death, chilled the soul.
Exactly, endless falling leaves... rustling down!

On the battlefield, a military formation that can condense into tangible shapes is one of the strongest techniques. Just like Shi Jing's original Yin-Yang Traveling Formation, which transformed into a giant yin-yang fish, a single impact almost killed Qian Zhi, the treasurer of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance.
But in the true heat of battle, such tactics are usually used as a final trump card.
Because it requires the full force of the army, with everyone giving their all, and strict discipline in troop deployment, it is extremely costly in terms of military resources. In a prolonged battle, unless you can decisively defeat the enemy, prematurely exhausting your forces could very likely lead to being slaughtered at the end.
And this very moment, is the time to decide the victor.
Then, let the battle commence!
The enemy had two thousand men, all recently withdrawn from the front lines to make up for casualties.

Of course, the fighting spirit is commendable.
But the absolute disparity in strength cannot be transferred by fighting spirit.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Moreover, in terms of fighting spirit alone, the Qiu Sha Army was in no way inferior to others.
Two thousand exhausted soldiers came here in a desperate manner.
...While Chong Xuan personally led his troops, directly displaying the peak killing formation.
>
Endless fallen leaves, fluttering like rain, were swept together by the violent wind. Like an autumn tornado, it swept over this detachment of soldiers in an instant, swallowing them whole!
>
If someone were to look down from a high vantage point, they would be able to see.
Since the first charge into the Yang army's central division, Chong Xuan's troops had never stopped.
Like a giant arrow, once launched, there is no turning back, until it hits its target.
And this "arrow" at first only thrust forward with the tip of its formation, charging to the very end. Suddenly, the soldiers stopped their advance and transformed into a wave, scattering the trees in an endless downpour. In just one clash, it shattered the opponent's last defense and appeared beneath the azure-colored hunting flag that fluttered!
On that vast platform, at this moment...
Now only veteran Ji Cheng remains!
All available troops have already been deployed.
Within his wide field of vision, the Qiu Sha army was charging everywhere, already piercing the Yang Guo army with thousands of wounds.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
He had poured all his energy into it, burning himself out nearly completely just to keep the precarious situation from collapsing.
>
However, this situation cannot continue any longer.
Because...
The enemy has arrived!
Here comes the moment!
"Whose tiger cub dares to take the old general's head!"
The gray-haired general welcomed the wind with a mighty roar.
“I! Chong Xuan Sheng!”
"I! Jiang Wang!"
Influenced by the atmosphere, Jiang Wang also felt his blood boil at that moment.
At this point, all defenses had been broken. There was no longer any obstacle between them and Ji Cheng.
He and Chongxuan both just stared straight at this veteran.
The entire army roared, surging up onto the platform.
One arrow.
> A roaring arrow.
Like the wind, like thunder, like the earth splitting and the sky collapsing!
Ji Cheng's snow-white hair was still flying in the wind, his emaciated hand had already drawn back his bow.
>
His voice trembled slightly, yet his hand remained so steady.
Firm as a rock!
Just a simple pull and release.
Arrows flew out like thunder, swift and powerful.
When the strings moved, the arrows had already clashed with the army formations of Chong Xuan Sheng Jiang Wang's troops.
Whether it's Zhong Xuan Sheng, Jiang Wang, or Fourteen, they all feel this so clearly.
This is the strongest obstacle encountered all the way here!
A single arrow roared like thunder, and this military formation, which was taking shape as a demon soldier, was actually completely overturned!
A gust of wind, laden with countless fallen leaves, swept across the battlefield as if an invisible giant hand had seized the head of the army and violently yanked it upwards. The entire military formation tumbled down from the platform, soldiers and horses alike thrown into disarray.
The enemy troops scattered, and their formation was broken!
However, within this shattered formation, amidst the carnage where soldiers were trampled and slain.
A dazzling sword light shot out, rising from below, and once again slashed back onto the platform!
Jiang Wang's sword light was like a rainbow, and he moved like a shooting star.
This is an example.
Zhong Xuan Sheng struck the ground with a heavy palm, creating a deep pit, and then followed closely behind.
His custom-made armor had long since become a burden. He simply ripped it off, leaving only a single tunic, and charged onto the platform!
Then came fourteen, clad in black armor and wielding a black sword. Silent yet resolute, they charged upward.
Then, one by one, the Autumn Killing Army soldiers fell.
They are soldiers who have already died for two thousand years, but as long as they haven't fully breathed their last, they still climb onto the enemy general's platform!hemselves, as well as the possibility of even stronger enemies appearing at any moment...He had to act quickly and decisively; there was no time for dithering.With these thoughts swirling in his mind,...
