Chapter 189: No Mighty Nation Can Remain Unconquered Without
perfect weather.Outside the east gate of Self-Redemption City, a figure appeared, seeming to walk in the sunshine.His eyebrows were sharp, and his eyes sparkled with pride.Even every single strand of...While he is known for his unmatched ferocity in battle, he also displayed extraordinary patience in the Battle of Qiyang. He carefully planned his every move, forcing Yang Jiande to leave the city and fight a decisive battle, ultimately leading to a final gamble.
All they said was that Cao Jie used his troops with extreme caution, but here on Jian Feng Mountain, the moment he saw Yu Liyang, he placed a heavy bet without hesitation!
There was no waiting, no probing, not even a word spoken.
It's just constantly raising the stakes, raising the stakes, raising the stakes.
It seems like he's treating Jianfeng Mountain as if it were a wealthy city under attack!
How could an absolute main force like the Qiu Sha Jun easily exert its power on Jian Feng Shan
Concentrating the power of the army formation and utilizing the formation's killing techniques are usually decisive tactics.
The blood and qi of the soldiers, as well as their Dao Yuan, are all finite.
Dao Yuan can be replenished through Dao Yuan Stones, and Qi and Blood can be recovered with Qi and Blood Pills... They are nothing but resources. But the mental and physical fatigue left by the soldiers' depletion of willpower and stamina is not so easily solved.
Even the mighty Qiu Sha Jun, such a formidable army, cannot employ its full military strength for extended periods. After this concentrated assault on Jian Feng Mountain, they will inevitably enter a period of rest and recuperation.
The Xia kingdom's territory is vast, comprising a total of twenty-one prefectures. To defend the dangerous passes of this one prefecture, Fengjie Prefecture, it is truly worthwhile to deploy such a powerful main force army as Qiu Sha
What about the next twenty prefectures How do we fight them
At the beginning of a war, isn't it a time of probing and mutual understanding, where both sides establish their war perceptions
In such a grand battle, the slightest movement could determine victory or defeat. Thus, to avoid losing, one must tread carefully!
In a normal war, a pass like Jianfeng Mountain should be defended by regional troops or armies conscripted from the Eastern territories.
When you can't break through, after figuring out the enemy's defense system, then mobilize your elite troops for a final assault—this is the normal choice in war!
So-called "normal" means not making mistakes, meaning it is universally applicable and the best choice.
Therefore, the Xia Nation's high officials believed that placing a real person there would be enough to delay the Qi army for half a month.
King Min of the Wu kingdom, Yu Liyang personally led his troops. Not only did he steadfastly defend Jianfeng Mountain, but he also ensured sufficient room for maneuver for himself. The State of Xia aimed to delay the Qi army's advance for as long as possible at the lowest cost.
But Cao Jie was too stubborn!
The Qi army's understanding of the Jianfeng Mountain defense line far exceeded the Xia Kingdom defenders' expectations. They practically attacked as if they were looking at a map of the defenses.
Under the pressure of being personally guarded by True Monarch Yu Liyang, he launched a decisive attack from the start, directly targeting the vital points of Jianfeng Mountain's defenses.
By now, the Autumn Slaughter Army's formations had become adept at countering Yue Eight's slashing sword style. As a result, he was already at his seventh slash.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At this moment, the soldier wielding a blade, a fearsome warrior, had already grown to fifty zhang tall.
This is the HTML code for a paragraph tag.
Towering like a giant from the ancient times.
Even before the majestic Mount Jianfeng, it is by no means a presence to be ignored.
Not to mention the overwhelming force of that blade aimed directly at the nodal point of Erdoshan's magical formation—even though he had hastily shifted three key points, it was still found with pinpoint accuracy!
For every strike of this Yue Eight Slashing Blade, the entire Xia Army's camp calculated for how long. It goes without saying.
How long has the research on the so-called five-part thick virtue bearing objects formation lasted, and how long has Qi's intelligence system been working...Similarly, there is no need to describe.
That silent, dangerous confrontation, all the sweat, effort and accumulation behind the scenes...
Just focus on the way Qiusha's army formations are dissected, like a master butcher wielding his knife!

In the midst of this colossal army, Jiang Wang's feelings were completely different now.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He felt the power within him... concerning Dao Yuan and qi-blood, those things quickly left his self and gathered towards a common will.
In the Victory Camp, these gathered forces were led by Chongxuan Sheng. But throughout the entire army of ten thousand, these different parts of power converged into a larger whole, ultimately led by the commander of the Qiu Sha Army.
A military formation of ten thousand men has an external, unified will, relying on the formation's diagram as its foundation. Under the guidance of the commander, it gathers the might of soldiers.
Although the opposing army's commander is not as strong individually.
>
But at this moment, the power Jiang Wang felt was immense and ferocious, far beyond his own reach!
The entire victorious camp, under the command of Chongxuan Sheng, moved positions strictly according to their usual training. They formed their battle formations, followed the established rhythm, and stirred up their Dao Yuan and blood qi, delivering their power to the "collective will of the formation."
Jiang Wang could feel it, the power belonging to him surging within, rapidly transforming under the influence of the formation into homogenous power of Qiu Sha's killing intent, blending with the whole. This power, under the control of the formation diagram, was mastered by the main general of their army... Even the combined might of their 10,000-man army formation was also subject to a higher level of will.
In ancient times, the human race gathered its strength from weaker kin and united all extraordinary and ordinary people to overcome each opponent.
This series of consecutive slashes was so seamless and powerful, it was Chongxuan Chu Liang remotely commanding the troops while simultaneously gathering his strength within the cutting edge of his sword, facing the Shanshan Great Formation. He was preparing himself to confront Yu Li Yang.
Faced with the strike of this towering and formidable warrior, the defenders on Er Duan Shan were almost desperate.
>
The protective formation of Jianfeng Mountain is far from its peak state.
In a situation where the mountain was almost shattered by hundreds of spiked boats, the power of the earth veins surged up. Facing them again was the renowned Autumn Slaughter Army.
They fought with reckless abandon, waves of defenders surging forward to fill the gaps, barely managing to hold the line on Mount Dui. However, the power drawn from the earth veins by the great formation was unable to ascend any further at that moment.
His own body was swaying precariously, while the gigantic Ghost Head Saber of the army was slashing towards him——
"Roar!"
Suddenly, there was a dragon roar!
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
A gigantic azure dragon, formed by countless soldiers, with complete scales and claws, appeared majestically. It emerged at this crucial moment, biting down on the blade's edge!
The sword's tip was embedded in the mountain peak, with billowing vapor rising. The dragon's mouth held the blade, reflecting its precious light. The dragon's eye had already witnessed its power, and the towering warrior staggered back under its might, falling backward.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The Great Xia, Jing'an Marquis Hua, hereby proclaims!
He seized the critical moment, right as Duoyue Eight Slash's final blow was about to be unleashed. He boldly formed a ten-thousand-man army formation and, under the empowerment of the Five Forms Thick Virtue Bearing Heaven Array, transformed his military prowess into a dragon, slaying his way out beyond Jianfeng Mountain!
This was a near-perfect hit.
Whether it be from the timing, or the cohesion of troops, or the deployment of soldiers, all were done with such precision.
Having confronted the Autumn Slaughter Army with an army that was far inferior in strength, courageously cutting off their smooth and flowing offensive formations, how could one not exclaim "perfect"
But...
But what he faced was not just this gigantic warrior, nor merely this sword.
Fortunately, he was showing himself at this moment.
Unfortunately, he faced the formidable Qi State's General Ding Yuan Hou, the notorious and brutal Chong Xuan Chu Liang!
The Bing Sha Qinglong lunged with its sword, but the blade in its mouth shattered instantly. Before it, the fifty-zhang tall Bing Sha warrior collapsed in an instant, like an avalanche!
A surging tide of soldiers, as vast as the sea, crashed down upon the heavens and earth. And yet, a single blade cleaved through them all.
This blade's arc is extremely high and its handle slightly curved. It moves silently and with no apparent intent, yet when it passes through, all the monstrous military might vanishes instantly!
The army of 100,000 for the autumn slaughter has been completely unified.
The will of one hundred thousand people was solidified like steel, and the blood qi and dao essence of one hundred thousand people were all mixed into the Autumn Slaughter Army's murderous aura.
Jiang Wang found himself amidst the throng, feeling like a single drop of water in the vast ocean, merging with countless tiny streams to form a raging tide. For the first time in his life, he felt the "soul" of an army.
He felt that this army was "alive," with a definite vitality!
This feeling is very wonderful.
Ten thousand people breathe together, share the same fate, blood rushes together, and souls travel together.
He was like his "outer self," paying attention to the collective power of "the building outside the building."
He felt that grandeur, and he was personally involved in it.
And Chong Xuan Zhliang, with this immense army at his command, rose to his feet. In a single step, he landed on the head of the Bing Sha Qinglong—crushing it instantly!
The Xia army soldiers were trampled like rain, and the Duke of Jing'an of Xia spat blood and flew.
And the bodies of those Xia army soldiers were completely transformed into projectiles, hurled by knives and spears, whistling through the air as they fell. Some struck the defending troops on the mountain, while others crashed into the formations' eyes.

However, Chong Xuanchu Liang continued to climb upward, facing the Great Xia Min Wang Yuli Yang on the mountain peak.
Controlling an army in battle isn't simply about stacking up massive numbers of soldiers. It's not as straightforward as when Jiang Wang first descended upon Xingyueyuan, merely overwhelming them with sheer power.
This is a placeholder.
That kind of power was a complete gift from the Jade-Equinox Star Lord, but the army formation was the convergence of countless drops of strength.
Commanding a military formation requires a granular understanding, reaching every soldier on the front lines. You must grasp their individual states, maintain formation discipline, and stabilize the overall battle line. A multitude of individual actions coalesce into a powerful tide...
The more soldiers there are, the harder it is to unify them. The stronger the battle plan, the harder it is to control.
100,000 soldiers lined up in formation.
Only a master of military strategy can succeed!
Therefore, it possesses extraordinary power that transcends all ranks.
Of course, the military formation is like the ingenious mechanisms of the Mohist school, interlocking and interconnected. It involves every level, from soldiers to team leaders, captains, general commanders, and finally, the supreme commander... Every step is closely coordinated to avoid excessive waste of strength. But if any link fails, it will affect the whole.
The more powerful the military formation, the higher the requirements for the soldiers.
Without day-to-day drills, it is impossible to make battlefield positions instinctive and ready for the real intensity of war!
The Qiu Sha Army, of course, was a top-tier force in the world. The formation they displayed at this moment was naturally the most advanced type in the world.
Under the blessing of immense power, Chong Xuan Chulian effortlessly crushed the Azure Dragon, a formation of soldiers transformed by Hua Hongzhao's arrangement, and continued his assault.
>
As for Chong Xuan and Zhu Liang, he wasn't the commander-in-chief of the expedition against Xia. He didn't need to consider the overall situation or whether Cao Jie's order to attack Jianfeng Mountain was strategically sound. If Cao Jie wanted him to pressure Yu Liyang, he would pressure Yu Liyang, that was all there was to it.
So, at this moment.
The sword's tip points to GaoYue JianFeng Mountain.
The king of Min was beheaded!
One hundred thousand Autumn Slaughter Army soldiers, their strength unified, their killing intent condensed, operating the highest level Autumn Slaughter Formation diagram in the world. What kind of power is this
When people saw Chong Xuan's blade, it drew up from the ground, his world-famous Soul Slashing Blade seemed to cleave heaven and earth apart.
This person, this sword, spreads infinitely across the field of vision.
That precipitous Jianfeng Mountain, which towered over three hundred zhang, was reduced to the size of a pill!
At this point in time.
Standing atop the mountain, Yu Liyang, with his handsome features and charming eyes, looked down at the world below.
In the vast and endless expanse of consciousness, he had been chasing after Yan Ping for several rounds. The collision at the level of Tao was about to truly take place.
In this real and unadulterated world, Chong Xuan was commanding a formidable army with his sword. The sharpness of his blade had already made itself known to him.
The butcher's knife that cuts lives short is also considered the way.
Because this path is too powerful, its lethality is too terrifying, it is difficult to grasp its true form in the world. For decades, the position of the first god in the Eastern Region has been occupied by someone else.
This person... is skilled at killing and extending lifespans!
>
Commanding an army of over 100,000, causing the autumn soldiers to have their wills aligned with his, controlling the battlefield, this blade shall sever the True Monarch's lifespan!!
We can't stay here.
Yu Liyang felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.

As the mighty Prince Min of Xia, a powerful celestial being, personally commanding the Sword Peak Mountain, even with the modest goal of holding the line for half a month at minimum, he still failed to achieve it
>
What a disgrace it would be if it were spread!
It is indeed time to let it go.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If he must fully display his majesty as the true emperor at this moment, even Wu Wang Si Jiao could only rush to join the battle.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That is to say, the decisive battle will take place right here.
The Xia Kingdom had the advantage of geographical location, with twenty-one prefectures as a strategic depth. Over these thirty-two years, they had built layers of defenses across ten thousand miles of territory... Facing the powerful Qi army, how could he abandon all this for his own personal honor and disgrace
It's not just that you can't stay any longer, it's even that you can't walk slowly.
Because Yan Ping was already very obviously trying to target him, any delay would make it impossible to escape without paying a certain price.
Upon seeing Yu Liyang, Cao Jie immediately pressed forward with a large army. His decisiveness and courage were truly worthy of Jiang Shu's appointment of him as commander!
This step is majestic and imposing, it's about using force to pressure someone, using power to overwhelm them.
He must either engage in a decisive battle or retreat; there is no other option!
That's it.
The sigh of the strong cultivator in their heart made the sky for thousands of miles gloomy.
Yu Liyang took a step forward, dodging the blade of Shou's attack and landing beside General Hua Hongzhao of Jing'an Marquis at the mountainside. With one hand, he pulled upwards, instantly drawing the earth's energy from a radius of three hundred miles, as if pulling an invisible dragon from the ground! He poured it into the Hu Shan Grand Formation!
Boom boom boom boom!
The entire Jianfeng Mountain stretches continuously, its majestic veins of earth energy surging into the sky.
The five-segment Thick Virtue Bearing Object Grand Array erupted completely.
Every three hundred li, the power of the earth veins increased layer by layer, and the nine heavens' clouds surged.

Amidst a resounding boom.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
A huge meteorite, ten or more zhang in diameter, seemed to protrude from the gap in the clouds. It was coarse, heavy, and ferocious.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
It exploded in the air, igniting a crimson flame and engulfing itself in fire.
One, two, three...
Suddenly, countless meteorites crashed down from the heavens...it was a rain of meteors that blotted out the sky!
It seems like the Nine Heavens Mountain has been shattered, causing such chaos in the world.
Just a flick of flames, and the sky was burning into a sea of fire.
While the blade of the interval massacre was unleashed, it also thundered towards the vast and mighty army of Qi.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
While Yu Liyang reached out with one hand to Hua Hongzhao, he was about to take him away.
Huahong's figure suddenly dodged!
“I can’t go!”
This veteran shone brightly from head to toe.
He dashed toward the mountains alone.
"Hu Fangyu died too easily here, he deserved his fate, but he ruined Jianfeng Mountain, his evil deeds are unforgivable!"
"Hua Fangyu is a disgrace to the Hua family for a hundred years. Now, as I seek to survive, I am a stain on the Hua family for a thousand generations."
>
The voice fell behind Hua Hongzhao, but he did not turn back once. His topknot was scattered at some point, his frost-white hair drifting behind him.
His golden body and jade bones have begun to crumble.
>Throughout history, no mighty nation has ever survived defeat without casualties.
"The King of Min should go first for the sake of the nation, allowing this old man...to die for the nation first!"
Yu Liyang's outstretched hand ultimately remained unclasped. In this state, Hua Hongzhao, forcibly pulling him away, had no way out...
He, a venerable True Monarch, couldn't even spare a glance to witness the final charge of Marquis Jingan.
Before the meteorite rain exploded on Jian Feng Mountain, his figure dissipated and vanished into the chaotic celestial energy.
