Chapter 54: Take the initiative
"General, the enemy army is menacing, how can we meet the enemy?" Cao Lang, the commander of the Splitting Earth Army, spoke in a solemn tone.
According to the information he received, the armies of Ding Zhuo and Dong Yuan, the Liangzhou Assassin, had been replaced last night, and he had taken a closer look just now and found that the army they had brought was obviously more elite than the army stationed outside the city before.
Ding Zhuo and Dong Yuan are afraid that the most elite army stationed in Zhenghong City will be transferred overnight, and it is also an army of 200,000, but the combat power cannot be compared.
Cao Ze was not angry when he heard this, Cao Lang kindly reminded him, in fact, he also noticed the abnormality of the tripartite alliance.
According to the previous information, Ding Zhuo and Dong Yuan each brought 100,000 troops to be stationed outside Xicheng, the elite of these two legions is about the same as that of the Split Earth Army, and the commanders are all small grandmasters at the peak of the Eight Realms, which can match the late stage of the grandmaster and the peak of the grandmaster.
And now, Ding Zhuo and Dong Yuan's army is obviously much more elite than before, the cultivation of the soldiers, the armor, the morale, etc. are all different, and there are two more grandmaster-level powerhouses in front of the army, and all signs indicate that the two have brought the celestial army in their hands.
Among Ding Zhuo and Dong Yuan's million-strong army, there are two armies with the initial combat power of the unity of heaven and man, Ding Zhuo's is the Heavenly Wolf Army, and Dong Yuan's is the White Tiger Army, each with 100,000 soldiers and horses.
In addition, Chu Xuan led the Zhenyuan Army, with 100,000 soldiers and horses, which could also rival the great grandmaster in the early stage of the unity of heaven and man.
The three celestial legions, plus Chu Xuan and Lu Fengxian, the two great masters in the early stage of the unity of heaven and man, the power of the tripartite alliance is extremely strong.
Compared with this, Cao Jun seems to be much weaker, and even in the eyes of most people, once the two armies face each other, Cao Jun is absolutely vulnerable.
The 100,000 Earth Splitting Army is no opponent against any of the Heavenly Wolf Army, the White Tiger Army, and the Zhenyuan Army, if it weren't for the fact that the Cao Army had two Heavenly Masters and Great Masters, and Cao Ze was suspected of having the late combat power of the Heavenly Man, all the soldiers of the Cao Army would have lost their morale long ago.
Even so, the Cao army did not have much confidence in this battle before.
Although Cao Ze is strong, the two Heavenly Masters are enough to temporarily drag him down, and then use a Celestial Army to drag Xue Ningmei, the mysterious Grand Master, and the 100,000 Earth Splitting Army against the two Celestial Legions, the ending will inevitably be extremely miserable.
It wasn't until a mysterious legion secretly entered Cao's camp that the confidence of the soldiers of the Split Earth Army increased a lot.
The commander of this legion is also on the tower, named Li Jianye, eight feet tall, extremely brave, exuding a powerful aura all over his body, he is a Nine Realms Grandmaster, and he is a peak Grandmaster.
Cao Ze looked at Li Jianye and said lightly: "Jianye, what do you think?" ”
Cao Lang and other generals of the Split Earth Army looked at Li Jianye in unison, with a faint awe in their eyes, the army advocates the strong, Li Jianye is a powerful grandmaster, and it is easy to be recognized.
When Li Jianye led the Divine Sword Army into the camp before, Cao Lang and the others were shocked, this army of only 30,000 people was extremely elite, and even 100,000 halberd warriors were far from being comparable, and I am afraid that Cao Valve's strongest private army was not as good as it.
"One battle is possible!"
Li Jianye's gaze swept over the enemy troops outside the camp, and his tone was flat.
It's just two great masters of the early stage of the Celestials, and three legions of early combat power of the Celestials, so what are they afraid of?
"Good." A smile appeared on Cao Ze's face.
Cao Ze's gaze swept over Cao Lang and other generals, and said lightly: "Gather your troops and horses and line up to meet the enemy!" ”
"Yes!"
Cao Lang and the others responded respectfully, their tone was excited, and they immediately turned around and went down the tower.
Not long after, 100,000 Earth Splitting Army rode war horses and swarmed out of the camp, followed by 30,000 Divine Sword Army, which also stirred the heavens, and the wind and clouds gathered for hundreds of miles.
On the vast plain, the two armies faced each other, separated by several miles, the flags fluttered, the beacon smoke was filled, the drums shook the sky, and the sound of the Jin Ge Iron Horse was endless.
In front of the two armies, Cao Ze rode on a sturdy horse, wearing gold silk soft armor inside, wearing gold black light armor outside, and holding a cloud-shaking rain gun, majestic.
Beside him, Xue Ningmei was dressed in black and riding a BMW, and Li Jianye, Cao Lang and other generals were slightly behind, holding high-grade armor, looking at the enemy with a warlike gaze.
Behind everyone is the 30,000 Divine Sword Army, the Divine Sword Army is a heavy infantry, every Divine Sword Army soldier is wearing heavy armor, holding a long-handled heavy knife, the handle of the knife is one meter two, the blade is one meter five, the length is two meters seven, the double-sided front, weighing eighty-one pounds.
The Divine Sword Army is the second strongest legion under Cao Ze, and the lowest cultivation level of each Divine Sword Army soldier is the late stage of the Four Realms, and even the Eight Realms Little Grandmasters have a full ten, and the commander is the peak grandmaster.
The combat power of the Divine Sword Army is so strong, it has a strong combat power comparable to that of the late stage of the Heavenly Beings, and if ordinary Heavenly Masters do not avoid its edge, they will also be killed by the Divine Sword Army.
After the Divine Sword Army, there are 100,000 Earth Splitting Army, divided into five phalanxes, the Earth Splitting Army is light cavalry, equipped with light armor, spears and short knives, and the war horses are also wearing light armor, so to speak, armor and cavalry equipment.
On the opposite side, Bingzhou Thorn Shi Ding Zhuo, Liangzhou Thorn Shi Dong Yuan, and Wuguan Zhonglang General Chu Xuan was strong and sharp, riding a war horse at the forefront, on one side were Lu Fengxian, Niu Dun and other coalition generals, and behind them were the Heavenly Wolf Army, the White Tiger Army and the Zhenyuan Army.
According to the agreement of the three of them, the Zhenyuan army was in the center, the Sky Wolf Army was on the left flank, and the White Tiger Army was on the right flank, and each legion was divided into eight phalanxes.
At this moment, the armies of the two sides were fierce, condensing a kind of "military appearance" in the sky, fighting and confronting, a divine sword shone thousands of miles, and the sword qi swept across the heavens and the earth, directly suppressing the white tiger, the wolf and the yuan dragon.
Ding Zhuo, Dong Yuan, Chu Xuan and the others watched the armies in the sky clash, their expressions were solemn, until this moment, they knew that they had underestimated Cao Ze, and the other party still held such an elite legion.
The three of them were in a heavy mood, Cao Ze hid the Divine Sword Army too well, they didn't receive the slightest information, and they had just hurriedly heard that a heavy infantry with a number of about 30,000 had entered the Cao Army camp.
Looking at the 30,000 Divine Sword Army wearing heavy armor and holding a long-handled heavy knife on the opposite side, Dong Yuan's throat surged, and he suddenly regretted that this battle was more auspicious, and I was afraid that even his own White Tiger Army would have to ride into it.
"Fighting?" The sound of interference came from Dong Yuan's mouth, he actually didn't want to fight.
Although the Divine Sword Army is only 30,000 people, judging from the battle between the armies, it at least has the combat power to match the mid-stage of the unity of heaven and man, plus Cao Ze, who is suspected to be in the late stage of heaven and man, the mysterious heavenly master of the woman in black, the victory or defeat is already unpredictable.
Ding Zhuo took a deep breath, glanced at Dong Yuan coldly, and said in a deep voice: "You can't retreat!" ”
The Shendao army put a lot of pressure on him, but he must not retreat, if the army retreats, the morale will be low, once the Cao army pursues and kills, the 300,000 army may be defeated, and the whole army may be wiped out at that time, and even these generals will not be able to escape.
"Lord Ding is right, you must not retreat!" Chu Xuan was firmly on Ding Zhuo's side at the moment.
"But..."Dong Yuan hesitated.
Ding Zhuo's righteous son is the Celestial Grandmaster, Chu Xuan himself is the Celestial Grandmaster, only he Dong Yuan's army does not have the Celestial Grandmaster in charge, once the battle is engaged, in the face of Cao Ze's strong army, I am afraid that he will suffer heavy losses.
"No, but."
Chu Xuan's tone was tough, and he took out the token that Chu Yuan gave him, and Dong Yuan could only reluctantly agree.
"Don't worry, Lord Dong, although Cao Ze's 30,000 heavy infantry is strong, don't forget that we still have a hole card, and we have a better chance of winning in a real battle." Chu Xuan continued.
Ding Zhuo and Dong Yuan's pupils shrank, and they all nodded.
The two sides set up positions, Ding Zhuo, Dong Yuan and others observed the Cao army again, and Cao Ze was also observing the enemy army, and soon made a decision and gave the order directly:
"All the troops are attacking!"
Cao Ze's voice resounded in the heavens and the earth, like a thunderbolt exploding in the sky, and in the next moment, Cao Jun moved, taking the initiative to kill the tripartite alliance.
