Chapter 990: It's a pity he lost

"Bang ......" As Xia Fan swung the white bone giant hammer and struck five hammers in a row, the cyan sword light that covered the sky and the sun in the loud roar like thunder shattered like smashed glass.

"Ha!" Xia Fan jumped up, already approaching Cheng Dahai's side, and the giant hammer in his hand was a head-on blow.

Xia Fan's hammer was so simple that it seemed to have no tricks to speak of, but because of it, it contained extremely violent power, and even the void was shaken by the strong wind that rolled up on the hammer as if it had collapsed.

Cheng Dahai didn't have time to dodge at this time, and at the same time, he couldn't dodge, just because Xia Fan's divine thoughts had locked it to death, and at the same time, the attack of this hammer covered a radius of hundreds of miles, making it impossible for him to dodge at all.

"Fight!" Cheng Dahai could only put his heart sideways at this time, and he didn't care about leaving any back, so he directly exploded with all his strength, and even ignited his own essence and blood, instantly releasing the power of the flying sword, even if it would be damaged afterwards, he didn't hesitate to do so, just because he knew very well that he had reached the point of life and death.

The "Boom ......" giant hammer and flying sword collided again, and the sound was endless, earth-shattering, and the shock wave that erupted swept thousands of miles around.

Cheng Dahai's flying sword shattered on the spot because he couldn't withstand the fierce blow of the white bone giant hammer, and at the same time, Cheng Dahai also retreated involuntarily under the push of the shock wave.

Although Cheng Dahai was very distressed by the loss of the Natal Flying Sword, and at the same time, his soul was also violently shaken, but he was able to save his life from Xia Fan's amazing blow, and he still secretly called it a fluke.

"This kid is so special! It must be in the middle of the Grandmaster Realm, I'm not his opponent at all, I can't fight him anymore, let's leave as soon as possible." Cheng Dahai was shocked that Xia Fan's strength was a little outrageous, and he also had the idea of retreating.

It's just that at this moment, he suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood, and at the same time heard a huge heartbeat.

The sound was so loud that it seemed to be a muffled thunder, making it difficult for him not to pay attention to it, and he subconsciously followed the prestige, but he couldn't help but change his face suddenly.

Because at some point, a huge tower appeared behind him, and at this time, the bottom of the tower was open, and it fell down towards him with his head covered and his face covered with his face.

"This must be Xia Fan's magic weapon, where did he get so many magic weapons?!" Cheng Dahai was shocked in his heart, and directly threw out a talisman and blasted towards the falling giant tower, wanting to stop it for a moment, but at the same time, he also broke out with all his strength again, and wanted to escape.

"Roaring ......" It's a pity that before Cheng Dahai could fly away, he heard countless terrible screams, followed by thousands of fierce souls and evil ghosts with hideous faces that didn't look like people at all from all directions, not only blocking all his ways, but also swarming at the same time.

"Xia Fan, if you let me go, I am willing to submit to you......" At the moment of life and death, Cheng Dahai decisively begged for mercy, completely ignoring the dignity that a strong person in the Grandmaster Realm should have.

"No, I don't have to. Xia Fan categorically refused without thinking about it.

"You can't die well!" Cheng Dahai scolded angrily and was overwhelmed by the fierce ghosts, and then he was covered by the multi-bone tower as soon as it was dark in front of him.

In fact, with the strength of Cheng Dahai's mid-stage Grandmaster Realm, those nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight fierce souls and demons were not enough to kill him, and even if he was desperate, he might not be able to break out of the encirclement. It's just that Xia Fan released these fierce ghosts not to kill him, but to stop him, and the real killing move is the multi-bone tower.

The next moment, Cheng Dahai's terrible screams and the sound of flesh and bones being torn and shredded came from the multi-bone tower, which was really chilling to hear.

After ten breaths, as soon as the tower door opened, Cheng Dahai's head flew out of it, Xia Fan reached out and grabbed it, and appeared in the sky above the gravel river, saying: "Cheng Dahai is dead, surrender and avoid death, otherwise you will be killed." ”

"Oops!" Geng Qingping's face changed greatly, because he knew very well that Cheng Dahai's death would inevitably lead to extremely serious consequences, but at this moment, facing Xia Fan, who was standing in mid-air and was amazingly powerful, he really had no way at all.

Having a strong person in the Grandmaster Realm go out with the army, the benefits are naturally needless to say, the encouragement of the morale of the army must be quite strong, and at the same time, when encountering a powerful cultivator, it can be directly crushed.

But there are pros and cons to everything. The disadvantage is also obvious, that is, if the powerhouse of the Grandmaster Realm is killed on the spot, it will shake the morale of the army, and it will easily lead to a sharp turn for the worse in the originally good situation.

In fact, Cheng Dahai's death did have some impact on the army of the Han Dynasty, and the soldiers looked at Xia Fan with a strong sense of fear from the bottom of their hearts.

However, these people are all battle-hardened warriors, even if they are afraid in their hearts, they are still desperately rushing to kill, and there is no rout on the spot. It can be seen that the strength of the army of the Han Dynasty is definitely not in vain.

At the same time, the morale of the soldiers and horses under Lu Chuan's command has increased greatly, and at the same time they are shouting long live the generalissimo, they all burst out with unprecedented fighting spirit, even the soldiers and generals who were a little desperate before now have the confidence to win and start a crazy counterattack.

In this way, the situation that was originally unfavorable to Xia Fan's side was temporarily contained, and the two sides returned to fierce fighting, and the situation entered a maddening parity.

But soon this situation was broken by more than 100,000 soul bodies led by Dudu. Because they are fighting frantically and are not afraid of death, they really take advantage of such a tragic battle.

In a war like this stalemate between the two sides, in the end, it is the will of the generals on both sides and the ability to bear casualties.

The so-called elite army, many times, is not only because they stand strongly, but because they can withstand a large number of casualties and hold out to the end.

Obviously, the soul bodies really have an advantage in this regard, and when they continue to kill the soldiers of the Han Dynasty but they rarely suffer casualties, it will inevitably cause great pressure on the hearts of the soldiers and generals of the Han Dynasty.

Especially when the soldiers of the Han Dynasty died more and more, and the situation became more and more unfavorable to them, a rout appeared, and then an avalanche-like rout. The so-called defeat is like a mountain of defeat, and this is the situation.

At this time, let alone Geng Qingping, a great general, even if Liu Xingchen, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, personally came to supervise the battle, he might not be able to turn the tide.

"Retreat, exit the Gravel River first. Geng Qingping gave an order in desperation.

The armies of the two sides were fighting together at this time, and they could really retreat smoothly if they said a word of retreat.

Even if the army of the Han Dynasty didn't want to fight, Lu Chuan's army, which had been pressed and beaten by them for so long, would not let them go easily, so basically when the army of the Han Dynasty retreated, Lu Chuan's army was chasing after him step by step, biting the enemy and refusing to talk about it.

In fact, Geng Qingping would not let all the troops withdraw if he said withdraw, because that would inevitably be pursued by the enemy and then turn into a rout that was difficult to contain.

In order to put an end to this situation, Geng Qingping must leave some troops behind the palace. And these people are basically abandoned, because you don't need to ask to know that they must be dead.

At the same time, Geng Qingping even sent an order to the 100,000 cavalry who had never had time to fight, ordering them to be ready to attack at any time.

Although the terrain of the Gravel River is not conducive to cavalry combat, the terrain on both sides of the Gravel River is relatively flat, and there is enough ground for cavalry to give full play to its advantages.

Geng Qingping did this, but also wanted to use the cavalry to deter Lu Chuan's army, so that they did not dare to pursue too close, otherwise as long as they got out of the gravel river, they would chase closely, and the next thing they would have to face was the charge of 100,000 cavalry.

With the same strength, the infantry has a natural disadvantage over the cavalry, which is an undeniable thing.

"Order, chase over the river of gravel and stop. Lu Chuan was obviously aware of this, so he gave the order.

"Wait. Xia Fan saw that the herald was about to pass on Lu Chuan's order, so he immediately waved his hand to stop him, looked at Lu Chuan and said: "Since Geng Qingping dares to lead troops to invade us, he and Liu Xingchen should be taught an extremely profound lesson, I know that you are worried about the 100,000 cavalry, I will help you get rid of them." ”

"Good. Lu Chuan thought of Xia Fan's soul bodies, and his eyes suddenly lit up, so he revised the order: "Order, slow down after chasing the gravel river, and increase the distance between the two sides to three miles with a limit of ten miles." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Chuan smiled coldly and said, "Throw this bait out, see if Geng Qingping eats it or not." ”

"He can't afford not to eat. Xia Fan said with a smile: "The reason why Geng Qingping is so anxious to attack him, and even does not hesitate to fight you in a place like the Gravel River, must have been urged by Liu Xingchen, if he wins this battle, then it is nothing to suffer heavy losses." ”

But now that he has lost, the casualties are not light, but he has no record of winning the battle, in order to curry favor with Liu Xingchen, he will also fight. Xia Fan glanced at Geng Qingping in the distance and said, "As long as he sends the cavalry out, then he will die." ”

If Geng Qingping could hear Xia Fan's words at this time, he would inevitably introduce him as a confidant.

As a general, Geng Qingping has experienced a hundred battles, how can he not know that a place like the Gravel River is not suitable for fighting, and how can he not guess Lu Chuan's thoughts, but he clearly knows that this is a pit, but he still jumped in, just because of the holy decree that had just been delivered to him.

The emperor was urging him to fight quickly and kill Lu Chuan quickly, so that Xia Fan would know that it hurt.

Although Geng Qingping is a general, he also knows the reason why the general will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, but he really does not dare to disobey the will of the new monarch, so there is this battle that should not be fought in the first place.

Of course, Geng Qingping dared to fight, not all because of the persecution of the holy decree, but also because after he weighed the situation, he felt that this battle could still be fought, even if there were some casualties, but the chances of victory on his side were extremely great, so he made up his mind.

In fact, Geng Qingping's judgment was correct. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Xia Fan and his intervention, the final result would have been similar to what Geng Qingping expected: his side suffered heavy casualties, but it could wipe out Lu Chuan's army.

However, the world was not as expected, just when the battle was about to be decided, Xia Fan came, first scattered 100,000 souls to stabilize the battle situation, and then killed Cheng Dahai at a very fast speed, which turned the whole situation upside down.

At this moment, Geng Qingping's mouth was full of bitterness, if he didn't know that he was not Xia Fan's opponent at all, and he would have given it for nothing, otherwise he would definitely rush over and play with Xia Fan.

Geng Qingping really hated Xia Fan so much, if he hadn't come to stir up the situation, how could the situation that was originally beneficial to him become like this.
