Chapter 1027.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A cloud of white smoke abruptly emerged from the front of the Western Liang Army’s position, and the Yan Army’s light cavalry that was charging a few hundred paces away instantly fell in unison as if they were being scythed by the God of Death.
However, the Yan cavalry at the back were not even aware of it, they were furious, raised their lances in their hands, and kicked their mounts with the spurs embedded in the heels of their boots to keep the latter in the most ferocious state.
Such a cruel practice was obviously extremely abnormal for a Yan rider who loved his war horse more than his wife and children.
This was because once the mount exhausted its strength, it would most likely fall to the ground and be completely wasted if not dead.
But they had no choice!
The Western Liang army’s cannon army formation in front of them had already endured five consecutive impacts from the Yan army’s cavalry, yet they were always standing still.
And in front of the military formation, were lying the corpses of countless Yan generals.
The problem was that if they didn’t break through the Singijeon Formation, they wouldn’t be able to deal a fatal blow to the Western Liang Army.
It would also be impossible to win this duel!
Seven days ago, the Western Liang army suddenly left Hanhai Pass in the west, and on the same day, they broke through Dongwang City, capturing over 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the city.
Immediately afterward, this army consecutively broke the cities of Xiizhu, Baisha, and Shi Ya.
This caught Yan off guard.
Although Great Yan had already begun to launch another expedition against Xiliang, the various armies mobilized were still on their way, and the food and provisions were prepared, with a large portion stored in advance in the four cities that had just fallen.
These valuable supplies, on the contrary, helped the Xiliang army a lot!
Seeing that the situation is very bad, Yan Wuhui, the pillar general of Great Yan, personally led 30,000 iron cavalry and traveled day and night to the eastern town of Gala City, joining the four armies that hurriedly came to form a huge legion of 370,000 men.
They intercepted the invading Xiliang army on the Wuding Plain.
Both sides started a battle of unprecedented scale.
In terms of numbers, the Yan army had an absolute advantage, plus the reinforcements that kept coming from behind, totaling over half a million men steadily.
On the other hand, with the auxiliary troops and reinforcements on the side of the Western Liang army, the maximum number of people was not more than 150,000 people.
But this duel from morning to noon, Yan army not only did not take any advantage, but also casualties of tens of thousands of soldiers.
The cannons of the Western Liang army were too powerful, not only did they hit extremely far, but they were also very lethal.
Especially the cannon, a cannon blast out several miles, projectile fall place blood and flesh flying, four or five order of martial artists do not dare to lightly tassel its front, the following soldiers touching the non-death will be injured, clad in heavy armor does not have any effect.
Now the Yan army still has the numerical superiority, but many people have been invulnerable cannons hit out of the shadow, hear the rumbling sound of the cannon involuntarily trembling.
They were afraid that the flying shells would fall on their heads!
However, Pillar State General Yan Wuhui did not have any intention of retreating, this famous Yan general personally supervised the battle, consecutively beheading a dozen or so generals who had fled from the battlefield, and forcefully ordering the Yan army to launch wave after wave of attacks.
Thousands of Yan riders, braving the rain of bullets and relying on the great sacrifices made by their companions, finally rushed close to the cannon army.
Just as they were about to launch their final charge, the Western Liang cannoneers at the front suddenly retreated in unison.
Dozens of field cannons were immediately revealed, their black holes aimed at the Yan riders.
These Yan riders opened their eyes and mouths wide as the fear of death surfaced in everyone’s mind.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Over thirty field cannons simultaneously ejected hundreds of loose bullets, covering a large area of the battlefield.
The Yan knights who were charging were instantly blown to pieces with their horses, the sight of blood and flesh flying around was simply horrifying!
Although they showed the bravery that a knight should have, in front of the roaring cannons, this bravery not only did not have any place for bravery, but instead, it created the latter’s reputation as the god of war.
The Yan army was once again defeated.
Repeatedly, successive futile attacks with huge casualties made the Yan army feel tired and desperate, even though there was an eyeing army behind them, their morale was still extremely low.
Some of the defeated soldiers even dropped their weapons and collapsed on the ground without moving.
It was at this time that the originally clear sky suddenly became cloudy, howling winds swirling with clouds surged towards the area where the Xiliang army was located, and rumbling thunder was heard one after another.
This sudden change in the sky immediately attracted the attention of both sides of the war.
On the watchtower of the Western Liang’s central army, Wang Chen’s gaze swept across the vast battlefield and landed in the Yan army’s rear camp.
Although it was a long way away, he was still able to clearly “see” a wave of mana rising up to the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds and changing the weather.
There was clearly a huge team of cultivators there.
Kunlun Dao Palace!
A name instantly surfaced in Wang Chen’s mind.
He knew that it was the backhandedness of Yan Wuhui, the Pillar General of Yan!
On a brutal battlefield, the power of a few dozen or so cultivators was insignificant and couldn’t play a half-hearted role at all.
They would even be deprived of the ability to cast spells under the wash of the military formation’s Mighty Fury Qi!
However, when the number of cultivators increased to thousands and formed a large spell formation, with a Grand Heavenly Master level figure sitting and commanding it, then the situation would be different.
Wang Chen easily gained insight into the other party’s intentions.
The purpose of these Kunlun Dao Palace cultivators joining forces was to create a violent wind and rainstorm over the Xiliang army to affect the play of the cannons and other weapons, thus greatly weakening the strength of the Xiliang army.
I have to say, this is a very clever means.
Because gunpowder is afraid of humidity, once it is wet by the rain, then all the cannons and guns will become a pile of scrap metal.
At that time, Yan army could drown the Xiliang army by their numbers!
The Yan army undoubtedly understands the weakness of gunpowder, and they also have their own artillery, which has been hidden at the back and not pushed up.
Once the ploy succeeds, it will be time for the Xiliang army to get a taste of what it’s like to be bombarded by artillery!
Yan Wuhui, worthy of being a famous general of Great Yan.
But he has overlooked Wang Chuan’s strength.
Standing on top of the watchtower, Wang Chuan raised his head to the sky and clenched his hand, shouting in a deep voice: “The wind rises!”
Since the other party wanted to play with the wind and rain, then Wang Dust would help them out.
With the addition of his power, the gusty wind suddenly turned into a huge storm, wrapping the rain clouds and swirling high in the sky, and in a moment, it detached itself from the sky above the Western Liang Army.
Ka-ching!
Accompanied by lightning, heavy rain poured down, moisturizing the parched land.
Not a single drop fell on the Xiliang army’s array.
In the Yan army’s rear camp, thousands of cultivators were dumbstruck, unable to believe what had just happened.
Nothing had gone wrong with the Wind and Rain Formation that they had jointly executed and driven, and the effect was obvious.
Yet their opponents had easily borrowed the wind and harnessed the law to dissolve their moves.
Such a result really made people vomit blood!
