Chapter 2205: Fierce Battle Against the Yeluohe!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

The Tang soldiers of this world were not the army Wang Chong had led in the apocalyptic era, those who had survived through battle after battle with the otherworldly invaders and had abundant experience fighting against this kind of foe . But in various aspects, this army was already the peak of what human dynasties could achieve .

Wang Chong wanted to see, with another war imminent, just how powerful this army was, how effective they could be in the future apocalypse .

Plush! Plush! Plush!

After a few moments, as weapons plunged into flesh, Wang Chong’s training began to show its might .

Weapons stabbed into the Yeluohe and their warhorses from all sides .

But the sensation of the swords piercing through them felt indescribably bizarre . It was like they were stabbing through some amalgam of cotton and decayed flesh .

“No blood!”

“They can still move!”

A Tang soldier looked at the Yeluohe horseman he had stabbed with a sword, his hair standing on end .

An alliance soldier would have been slain almost instantly by this sort of attack, but that Yeluohe seemed to be completely fine, its neck even turning so that its eyes could look at him .

All of the soldiers that were allowed to participate in this battle were battle-hardened men, but these things didn’t seem human .

“Don’t attack their bodies! Cut off their heads!” a Tang officer roared in the midst of the turmoil .

This officer was one of Guo Ziyi’s subordinates and had followed him to Youzhou to gather information on the Yeluohe, and he had seen with his own eyes their power .

Just a few Yeluohe had been enough to contend against twenty-some elite Tang scouts . Now, these Yeluohe had formed an army of tens of thousands, and their power was on a completely different level .

The smallest error would lead to unimaginable consequences .

The officer’s warning had come very quickly, but in the end, he was still a few seconds too slow .

Plush! Plush! Plush! The Yeluohe snapped the swords that were stabbed into their bodies and stabbed their weapons into the nearby Tang soldiers .

Bang!

A stalwart Yeluohe swung its hand, using its overwhelming strength to easily send several nearby Tang soldiers flying into the air .

In just a few short moments, the Great Tang suffered losses in the tens of thousands .

But they were still elite soldiers, and they quickly reconsolidated . The soldiers swiftly began to slice at the necks of the Yeluohe .

So long as they were beheaded, not even the tenacious Yeluohe could survive .

But this task was much more difficult than it seemed . Clangclangclang! Sensing this threat, the Yeluohe raised their arms and just barely managed to block these attacks .

In the middle of the army, a Yeluohe warrior suddenly exploded with a frigid storm of Stellar Energy . This Stellar Energy seemed capable of freezing people down to the marrow, and its terrifying power was difficult to block . “Aaaah!” Screams erupted as the surrounding Tang soldiers were blasted back ten-some meters .

Gallop!

Meanwhile, amidst rumbling hooves, more rows of Yeluohe rode out of the howling winds as swiftly as the wind .

These Yeluohe moved with unimaginable speed . At first glance, they were several dozen meters away, but in the time it took to blink, they were right in front of the Tang defense line .

Clang!

A rusted and ancient saber was raised high in the air and swung down . Boom! The saber had been infused with unbelievable energy, and with one stroke, it sliced through a Tang soldier from his left shoulder to his right belly, cleaving him apart .

It was such a powerful blow that the two halves of the body went flying in different directions, and even the armor had been sliced in half .

These Yeluohe were not as simple as they seemed . Whether it was in constitution, strength, or charging speed, these inhuman creatures far surpassed ordinary cavalry . Simply with their charges, they produced an impact that was difficult to defend against .

Boomboomboom!

The thirty thousand Yeluohe pushed through the formation, sowing chaos in their wake . Three hundred meters, five hundred meters, seven hundred meters… the Yeluohe pushed deeper and deeper into the Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation .

“Die!”

Seeing the ranks crumble, a Tang general swung his sword, his eyes red . All of his Stellar Energy surged out, shattering the frosty Stellar Energy on a Yeluohe . Plush! In a cold flash of light, the head of Yeluohe warrior went flying through the air .

While the Yeluohe were powerful, this was only compared to ordinary soldiers . In the face of formidable Tang generals, they were still no match .

“Kill!”

Encouraged by this general’s example, the other formidable generals in the army began to make their own attacks . Plush! Plush! Plush! The frighteningly cold hands of the Yeluohe were chopped off, and some of the Yeluohe were even cleaved in two, half their bodies spinning through the air .

After all, Wang Chong’s soldiers were incredibly well-trained and were able to adapt . Since stabbing the enemy was no good, they would just change things up and use sweeping slashes .

A single soldier was no match for them, so they mobilized the power of formations, with groups of three, five, or even ten soldiers joining their powers to attack .

In these circumstances, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation continued to work . In a frenzied assault, several hundred Yeluohe were slain on the spot, their bodies literally dismembered .

These Yeluohe were simply too bizarre . They feared that even these methods were not enough to kill them, so they used dismembering to completely remove them from a fight .

Enough ants could gnaw an elephant to death, and the Yeluohe were not an exception from this principle .

“Release!”

Strings twanged as Su Hanshan ordered his ballista army to once more fire on the advancing Yeluohe .

The situation was dire, with the closest Yeluohe less than one thousand feet from the ballista army, but Su Hanshan remained cool and collected . He seemed to be rooted into the earth, as if nothing in the world could shake him, even his own death .

Boomboomboom!

A thunderous roar resounded over the battlefield . This time, Su Hanshan’s ballista army took aim at the heads of the Yeluohe .

Bang!

In the middle of the chaotic battlefield, an icy Yeluohe with red eyes was charging forward with all its strength . Suddenly, seven ballista bolts came in at different angles, and with a giant boom, the Yeluohe’s head vanished .

The headless body of the Yeluohe continued charging a hundred-some feet before finally dropping from the horse .

In this fashion, Su Hanshan succeeded in killing several hundred Yeluohe in short order .

This method was taxing in both time and energy, and the effects were not very obvious, but it was the best method at his disposal for dealing with the Yeluohe .

“Release!”

Su Hanshan waved his hand, ordering another volley .

With a mighty boom, another several hundred Yeluohe were slain . This small force of Yeluohe that was only three-hundred-some feet from the ballista army was instantly wiped out, and their deaths even stirred a little chaos in the Yeluohe coming up behind them .

But Su Hanshan could not relax . Ballistae were not meant to be used this way, and there were many handicaps to firing accurately at such small targets . Su Hanshan had to make sure that the ballista bolts did not strike his allies, because a ballista bolt could pierce through a Yeluohe’s head and then strike his own soldiers .

In addition, Su Hanshan had to have eight ballistae fire together on a single target, and the bolts had to arrive at the Yeluohe’s head at the same time . If they did not arrive simultaneously, there was a high chance that the Yeluohe could block them, resulting in failure .

These were dire circumstances . The Yeluohe were far more frightening than he had anticipated .

“It seems they’ve reached their limit . ”

Looking down from the sky, Wang Chong turned grim .

At this point in the battle, the Great Tang had killed around seven hundred Yeluohe . Compared to the apocalyptic era in his past life, this kill ratio on these semi-otherworldly invaders was rather impressive . But for the thirty thousand Yeluohe, seven hundred deaths was a meager number .

Regardless of what the truth is, those otherworldly invaders must be closely connected to the men in black . Perhaps they were even drawn here by the men in black!

Several thoughts flashed through Wang Chong’s mind .

Many things in his last life had been shrouded in mystery . For instance, even though the Great Tang from his last life had been defeated multiple times, a starving camel was still larger than a horse . Could An Lushan and his paltry army have sowed so much chaos within the Great Tang and defeated its armies again and again?

At the time, Wang Chong had not understood, believing that An Lushan’s soldiers were just too valiant and fierce . But now, it appeared that it was all due to those several thousand Yeluohe that everyone had disregarded, not the valor of the Youzhou soldiers .

“Retreat!”

Wang Chong’s eyes coldly glinted as he ordered the retreat .

This army would still be very useful in the future, and it could not be lost here . Having them experience the power of the Yeluohe would be a great boon to the Great Tang and the entire continent .

At the very least, they would not be so panicked and disorderly, thus averting an even greater tragedy in the future .
