Chapter 244 Qin Wu orders a fierce attack
Several days have passed since the assassin was captured.
Qin Wu and his group arrived at the camp of the Divine Martial Army.
"This humble general pays his respects to Your Highness."
Qi Ye led a group of generals to pay their respects to Qin Wu.
"Everyone get up!"
"Qi Ye, how's it going? How much longer until we reach the gates of the Immortal Sect?"
Qin Wu walked to the main seat and sat down.
"Your Highness, it's uncertain at the moment. We are still some distance from the Immortal Sect."
"Now, the Immortal Sect is constantly increasing its troops to stop us. Like Liu Qiu and the others, we are all being held back."
Qi Ye said helplessly.
The Immortal Sect is now increasing its troops at any cost in order to stop their advance.
As long as we can stop them, we don't care how many people die.
In order to break the deadlock, the five of them split up.
However, the Immortal Sect also divided its forces and confronted them.
Five battlefields were directly opened up.
"We also tried assassination, but all of them failed. The other side was well prepared, and our assassins couldn't find any opportunities. However, we did discover that there might be a powerful expert at the Land Immortal Realm in the enemy's army."
After a brief pause, Qi Ye spoke again.
This is what puts them in a difficult position. They can command troops, but without Qin Wu's order, none of them can take action.
To avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
"Really? But given the way the Immortal Sect does things, they really are capable of doing it."
"Now that I'm here, don't hold back. Go all out and crush their camp as quickly as possible. If they dare to make a move, let them stay here forever."
Qin Wu snorted coldly.
He was afraid that the people from the Immortal Sect wouldn't dare to make a move.
If they dare to make a move, then don't blame him for taking direct action.
Even if the Immortal Sect wanted to cause trouble, they would have no reason to do so and would have to swallow this loss.
He wanted to see if the Immortal Sect dared to openly break the rules at this time.
"Yes, I will arrange it right away."
"However, Your Highness, should you send a message to Liu Qiu and the others?"
After receiving the order, Qi Ye inquired.
"No need. Once we break through the Allied forces' defenses here, they will naturally find out."
Qin Wu waved his hand.
As long as this side breaks through the allied forces' defenses, the Immortal Sect will definitely mobilize the nearest army to stop them.
They will naturally find out in time, and they will know what to do.
Qi Ye immediately understood Qin Wu's meaning, and without asking any further questions, he led his men away.
The next day.
Qi Ye then led his troops to launch an attack on the allied forces.
The front is guarded by heavy infantry.
The artillerymen then set up their cannons and began bombarding the Allied forces.
Having gained experience from numerous battles against the Divine Martial Army, the allied forces launched a direct charge, attempting to engage the Divine Martial Army in close combat.
As they launched their charge, the artillery began firing.
Shells rained down on the Allied forces, immediately causing heavy casualties.
"Heavy infantry, raise your shields."
"Crossbowmen, prepare to fire immediately if the enemy gets close."
Upon seeing the enemy charging forward, Qi Ye immediately gave the order.
They weren't worried about the enemy having cavalry.
After all, horses are easily startled by artillery fire. Sending out cavalry at this time would not only be of little use, but would also easily frighten the horses and cause chaos among the cavalry.
Therefore, the allied forces only sent infantry.
However, if infantry wanted to rush close, they would have to pay a heavy price.
However, the allied forces had no other choice. If they didn't charge in for close combat, they would only be slaughtered by the Divine Martial Army.
After several rounds of artillery bombardment.
Finally, the allied forces were about to reach them.
"Crossbowmen firing."
Qi Ye gave the order.
The first rank of crossbowmen immediately took action, their repeating crossbows firing continuously at the allied forces.
This caused considerable losses to the coalition forces.
After all, having barely made it close under the bombardment of cannons, they now had to face crossbow bolts.
It can be said that they were charging forward with their lives on the line.
However, no matter how it is arranged, there will always be oversights, and finally someone rushed to the front.
However, their path was blocked by the heavy infantry's massive shields, and the allied forces tried to leap over the shield bearers.
But just as they jumped onto the shield bearers' heads, several spears appeared and pierced them through, killing them instantly.
Even if someone manages to escape and falls into the Divine Martial Army's ranks, several swords will immediately slash at them as soon as they land.
It can be said that Qi Ye's formation is completely capable of both offense and defense, integrating both.
Suddenly, it became even more difficult for the allied forces to break through the Divine Martial Army's formation.
The commander of the allied forces remained expressionless as he observed the situation on the battlefield.
He was used to this kind of scene. It was only an hour or two. He would take whatever losses it could inflict on the Divine Martial Army.
Once the Divine Martial Army has finished its attack, it will retreat.
Two hours passed quickly.
Today, the Divine Martial Army did not retreat as it had before.
The attack continued, and the Divine Martial Army advanced several hundred meters further.
This brought the coalition forces directly into the range of artillery fire.
Upon seeing this, the Allied commander immediately ordered his army to retreat several hundred meters, keeping the main force outside the range of artillery fire.
Two more hours passed.
The Divine Martial Army continued its advance, forcing the allied forces to retreat again and again.
The Allied Commander's expression grew increasingly grim; he simply couldn't understand what the Divine Martial Army was trying to do.
Do you want to start a decisive battle with them?
Faced with this situation, the Allied Commander-in-Chief finally received orders that they could no longer retreat.
He then immediately ordered the entire army to attack, wanting to fight a decisive battle with the Divine Martial Army.
However, at this moment, the morale of the Shenwu Army had reached its peak, and the soldiers were as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
They weren't afraid of any number of allied troops coming; on the contrary, they were even more excited.
"The cavalry dispersed and attacked from both flanks."
Qi Ye gave the order.
The cavalry, who had been waiting in the rear, also began to attack.
These are all light cavalry, extremely agile, and each is equipped with a repeating crossbow.
After the cavalry launched their attack.
The casualties of the coalition forces were also increasing.
"Shieldbearer repositions."
The first rank of heavy infantry had held out for a long time. In order to prevent the heavy infantry from suffering too many casualties, Qi Ye immediately ordered the second rank of heavy infantry to step forward and take over the defense.
"Great Martial Master realm cultivators, listen to my command! Stop the Great Martial Master experts on the other side!"
Just as the shift was changing, Qi Ye discovered that there were many powerful Grand Martial Masters lurking among the opposing army.
Immediately order the Grand Martial Masters in the Divine Martial Army to prepare.
To avoid being ambushed and having the defenses breached.
With the arrival of warriors at the Great Martial Master level, the battle became even more brutal.
The Shenwu Army also began to suffer considerable casualties.
"Grandmasters and great grandmasters intervened and stopped the opponent."
"Keep the artillery firing."
Qi Ye kept issuing orders to deal with the unexpected events on the battlefield.
The allied forces suffered heavy casualties, so they directly dispatched experts above the Grand Martial Master level.
The battle between the two sides quickly entered a heated phase.
However, the current situation still favors the Shenwu Army, as they have the advantage in terms of both the strength of their soldiers and the number of powerful individuals.
After several hours of continuous fighting, the Divine Martial Army did not exhibit any signs of disorder.
This demonstrates how strict the cooperation and discipline among the soldiers were.
With an army of only 600,000, they were able to suppress an enemy force several times their size in a direct confrontation.
Finally, under the relentless onslaught of the Divine Martial Army, defectors began to appear within the allied forces.
The psychological pressure from such a bloody battlefield was immense.
It was simply beyond the capacity of these hastily assembled soldiers, but it was not bad that they could hold out for several hours in this meat grinder-like battlefield.
Once the defection began, it could no longer be suppressed.
The allied forces grew increasingly disorganized during the battle, eventually collapsing and fleeing en masse.
"The enemy army is routed and the cavalry is in pursuit. Kill them all."
Seeing the enemy army in defeat, Qi Ye roared and gave the order.
As soon as Qi Ye gave the order, the cavalry began to pursue and kill the fleeing soldiers with all their might.
The allied forces were powerless in the face of this situation, and their complete defeat was beyond their control.
In the end, the allied commander had no choice but to order a retreat, and the army scattered and withdrew.
However, whether they can escape depends on whether Qi Ye is willing to let them leave.
The 100,000 light cavalry were immediately dispersed into small teams of a thousand men each, and began a frenzied pursuit. Anyone caught by them was doomed.
Qi Ye even dispatched soldiers above the Grand Martial Master level to pursue and kill them, showing no intention of giving the allied forces any breathing time.
