Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 786 - 347, Bloodbath at Luo Mountain Valley_3
The blade's momentum was like lightning, but it was more than just lightning. Intense red flames clung to it, transforming into wild winds that swept away everything in their path. The pupils of the Zimiao Army at the forefront could only show shock and horror.
"This is not the Hong Miao Army, it's the Hexi's Red Flame Army!"
"Run, run...…" ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"Stop charging forward, pull back, pull back!"
"Full retreat, retreat!!"
...…
A hundred thousand elite soldiers trained in the Holy Army Code could withstand the powers of the great ones. Once their numbers exceeded two hundred thousand, they could be considered on par with a Sub-Saint of Martial Dao. A million elites from the Holy Land, even when a Martial Dao Saint encountered them, could not deal with them unless they were willing to give up their lives.
The three hundred thousand soldiers of Hexi's Red Flame Army, which even the five hundred thousand strong army inside Hei Miao City could not defend against, looked down upon the five hundred thousand Zimiao Army before them as if they were nothing. What's more, the Zimiao Army was charging head-on, with no obstructions between the two forces.
The soldiers of the Zimiao Tribe, who had thought that they were ambushing the Hong Miao Army, realized it was the far superior Red Flame Army. Already on edge, the sight of the Sacred Army Code being deployed by the Red Flame Army nearly shattered their courage completely.
The fierce flame and wild winds first engulfed the front rows of Zimiao Soldiers, instantly turning them and their war horses to ashes. Those lucky enough to witness it pulled their horses and fled madly, but regrettably, for the sake of this ambush, Zimiao had brought out five hundred thousand, plus another two hundred thousand from Baimiao and Qingmiao, making for an overwhelmingly large number.
Those in front turned to run, while those at the back had no idea what had happened. The soldiers at the very end were still galloping on horseback, eager to join the fight ahead. With unequal information, the entire army was thrown into chaos in an instant...…
"How foolish can they be, truly thinking I'd position my three hundred thousand Red Flame Army at the end of the main force. Ridiculous!"
Hou Yucheng could not help but sneer as he watched the Zimiao Army crumble under a single blow. He had secretly ordered the Red Flame Army to swap their battle armor with that of the Hong Miao Army precisely to counter the ambush. As a result, the Zimiao Army was caught completely off guard, the effect was simply perfect.
That one assault not only took the lives of tens of thousands but also crucially crushed the enemy's intent to ambush, plunging the entire Zimiao Army into a state of collapse.
Limited by the terrain of Luo Mountain Valley, the hundreds of thousands of Zimiao Army, like the Hexi Army, could only come in a long line. Unable to cover both flanks, once the front army collapsed, the resulting chain reaction would be fatal.
This was why Ziquan dared to ambush Hexi's one million two hundred thousand strong army with only several hundred thousand soldiers. He wanted to scatter the thirty thousand Hong Miao Army within Luo Mountain Valley, subsequently causing the complete disarray of Hexi's entire marching army.
Regrettably, the thirty thousand Hong Miao Army, which Ziquan had anticipated, turned out to be Hexi's elite Red Flame Army. A wind that swept away everything transformed Ziquan's initiative to strike into an act of delivering themselves to their doom.
"Pursue them out of the valley. Tell the brothers following to hasten their march. I want to crush them all the way back to Qingmiao City!"
Upon Hou Yucheng's command, the spirited three hundred thousand strong Red Flame Army, like unleashed tigers, raised their slaughter blades and relentlessly pursued the fleeing Zimiao Army. Many Zimiao soldiers, unable to retreat in time, were reduced to lost souls under their blades.
Of course, some stronger and smarter Zimiao soldiers knew to resist. Some generals, realizing the situation, also tried to rally the Zimiao Soldiers to turn around and fight desperately against the Red Flame Army. However, with their morale at rock bottom, they could not organize a proper counterattack.
In the end, they were drawn into a one-sided massacre.
Before long, a thick scent of blood began to rise. The small Luo Mountain Valley became a living hell in a mere moment.
