General Wei Huo not only had intimate knowledge of the surrounding terrain but also turned the tables by using the Beidi People's own favored tactics to crush them. This outcome was awe-inspiring even to people two thousand years later, let alone the incredible prestige it must have given him in the hearts of the Chu Army back then!
The battle ended quickly.
First, General Wei Huo led his troops to behead 8,000 soldiers from the forces of Lord Zhe Lan and Lord Luhou. Then, on the return march, he took advantage of the victory to pursue the main forces of Lord Hunxie and King Xiu Tu. He drove a large number of prisoners and routed soldiers ahead to disrupt the enemy's formation, ultimately achieving a rousing triumph.
With just 800 men, he waged guerrilla warfare in the Desert North, steadily annihilating the subordinate tribes of the Northern Barbarians and nearby small nations, boosting his strength to over ten thousand men.
Then with those ten thousand soldiers, they captured and killed another eighteen thousand, taking prisoners including Prince Hun Xie as well as the Prime Minister and the Capital Commandant, and seized the golden sacrificial offerings of the Xiu Tu Tribe, all while making a clean exit!
If it were real history, after such a grand victory, General Wei Huo would be expected to return to the capital for a triumphant reception.
However, this was on a battlefield of Returners and demonic beings.
Thus, General Wei Huo had no intention of retreating. He continued to gather a great deal of Demonic Qi, further empowering his already formidable force!
Finally, the number of players swelled once again. This time, over fifty thousand players rallied to nearly their peak strength before the expedition!
And so, this army of fifty thousand that had forcibly penetrated the heartland of the Northern Barbarians continued to press forward under the command of General Wei Huo!
...
On the main battlefield,
With the guidance of legendary warriors, players made rapid advances on all four fronts, regaining the initiative in the war!
From the perspective of the demonic beings, they might have felt rather unlucky.
Why did they have to encounter divine spirits that could counter them?
When the Eastern Barbarian invaders came, they were met by the master of tactical theory through the ages, General Deng Yuanjing, who routed them with the Mandarin Duck formation, deterring further invasions;
During the chaotic end of the Northern Barbarians era, Huaxia might have fallen into a protracted period of turmoil but Emperor Taizu of Sheng emerged unexpectedly, as if by some incredibly slim chance, effectively resurrecting Huaxia from the brink;
The mighty Jin Army swept across the land with their ironclad cavalry and Kidnapper Cavalry but encountered the eccentric General Han Fuyue, who, in an age of cold weapons, managed "to freeze but not dismantle homes, to starve but not pillage," leading to the total annihilation of the iron-clad forces in battle;
In the early years of the Liang Dynasty, warlords divided the land, and the Turkic people looked on hungrily. It seemed that with just a bit more cunning, they could have acted out the script for the Jingping Revolution early and trampled Central Plains under their iron hooves. However, incredibly, Emperor Taizong of Liang, the most capable of fighters, appeared and in just a few short years annihilated the Turkic nation, ushering in a splendid era;
During the Chu Dynasty era, the Di People won battle after battle, forcing the young dynasty to sue for peace. Yet General Wei Huo appeared like a limited-edition cheat code bestowed upon the Chu Dynasty from the heavens. Miraculously promoted by the Martial Emperor again and again, he fought one unbelievable winning battle after another, securing the most fertile and expansive living space for Huaxia for good.
Why did it always seem that they were on the verge of victory, only to encounter divine spirits that specifically countered them?
Many demons might once have pondered this question, but now, it no longer mattered.
Because they realized, it was not a matter of coincidence, but when these mighty spirits appeared, the sun, moon, and stars all dimmed in luster. Regardless of how powerful the foreign tribes were, they were doomed to inevitable defeat!
What if the opponents were switched?
The victory was certain for these destined spirits, regardless of the enemy they faced. The only difference was in the method!
The current scene was exactly so, as the divine spirits met various demons and still managed to demonstrate overwhelmingly dominant performance.
Feilian, Xingtian, Gonggong, and Kua Fu, four great demons empowered by the Magic Power of Demon Lord Chi You, were all determined to show the Returner a thing or two. However, the harsh reality slapped them hard in the face.
Those meant to be crushed were indeed crushed!
In the sky, Chi You was furious.
Its patience had finally reached its limit.
Watching the four great demons beaten back, Demon Lord Chi You could no longer contain itself. Its enormous form turned into a shadow plunging towards the ground!
At the same time, countless invincible demonic soldiers with copper heads and iron foreheads, impervious to spears and swords, were birthed from Chi You's Demonic Qi and marched towards the players' formation!
