Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2108 Zhao Bifang Slays Generals with Three Strikes, Capturing Twelve Generals in One Day
"Ding! Chu Yin's Shadow Arrow skill activated."
Shadow Arrow: An arrow that flies without a trace, impossible to defend against. The effect varies depending on who uses the skill.

Effect 1: When using a bow and arrow against an enemy, reduce the enemy's attack power by 2 to 4 points, depending on the enemy's level of defense.

Effect 2: In combat, the amount by which you reduce the opponent's combat power will increase your own combat power by the same amount.

Effect 3: If you kill a total of five Heaven-level or higher characters (based on combat power only), you will amplify the effect of a random skill once.

Note: This effect can only be activated once in a lifetime, and it is currently active.

Effect four: If the opponent is unaware of your presence, the negative skill effects of this skill will be doubled. However, if the opponent discovers your presence, the negative skill effects will be halved.

The same skill effect of Shadow Arrow was also seen on Xiao Ruohai, a former general of Hebei.

Chu Yin's Shadow Arrow, compared to Xiao Ruohai's back then, each has its own strengths.

When Chu Yin remains hidden and undetected, he is clearly stronger. However, once Chu Yin's presence is revealed, the skill's effectiveness is significantly reduced.

Chu Yin's arrows were different from those of the three commanders of the Divine Bow Camp.

His arrows were those of an assassin. Shadowless arrows, silent and unpredictable. Their greatest advantage lay in their ability to conceal themselves.

When facing a true master, the Overlord Arrow style finds it difficult to conceal their abilities if they go all out.

Especially Hou Yi's Sunset Arrow, which unleashed power far exceeding its own potential. Forget about hiding it, it was no different from a bright light bulb.

The rapid-fire style relies on sheer numbers to overwhelm opponents, so there's no need for them to hide. Their continuous, relentless shooting makes it impossible to conceal themselves!
But the Shadowless Arrow, an assassin's arrow, excels at concealment. It strikes silently, leaving no trace, making it impossible to defend against. Most people might only realize the attack when it's already upon them, perhaps too late.

However, every gain has its loss. Like the sharpshooters who followed the fast-shooting style, they sacrificed the power of their arrows when they were released.

By sacrificing the power of the arrow at the moment of release, the momentum of the attack can be concealed in the shadows, so that it goes unnoticed by the opponent.

For example, Yan Bei Kuang now uses a three-pronged flaming fork to counter Jian Shang's arrows, rather than his shield, simply because the standard military shield he carries is hardly enough to stop Jian Shang's arrows from the Overlord's Arrow Stream.

Which school of archery one chooses is often not determined by one's own will, but by one's physical attributes and talents.

The archers of the Overlord Archery School possess significantly greater arm and wrist strength compared to archers of other schools, which is why they are able to follow this school. Their arrows are often capable of piercing stone and iron.

But if it were Chu Yin, his arrows would have almost no chance of piercing an iron shield.

"Ding! Once Chu Yin's Shadow Arrow skill is activated, when facing an enemy with a bow and arrow, the enemy's strength will be reduced by 2 to 4 points depending on their level of defense. Yan Bei Kuang's strength has decreased by 3, and his current strength has dropped to 121."

"Ding! Chu Yin Shadow Arrow skill effect four activated. If the opponent does not notice you, the negative skill effect caused by this skill will be doubled. Yan Bei Kuang's martial power value is reduced by 3, and his current martial power value drops to 118."

On the surface, there are only Jian Shang and Duan Hou, but in secret, there is also Chu Yin who has been hiding all along.

With an arrow piercing his throat, Yan Beikuang, the veteran general of Da Cang, had finally reached the end of his rope.

Each of the four commanders of the Divine Bow Battalion represents a different arrow trajectory, and they have also developed an effective method for coordinated attacks.

Furthermore, through this cooperation, they leveraged each other's strengths and mitigated their weaknesses, maximizing their respective advantages. This is quite remarkable.

Unfortunately, he also killed a god general while possessing a celestial-level body.

However, Chu Yin was attacked by multiple people, so compared to Yin Qiangu, he gained absolutely nothing.

Although Jiang Junze and Yan Beikuang, two great generals, died in battle, Yan Ba ​​relied on his powerful strength to break through the encirclement.

Although he faced an attack from several Zhao Song generals, including Gao Chong, none of them, except for Gao Chong, were at the peak of the Heavenly Realm.

Therefore, in the end, they still failed to capture Yan Ba, allowing him to escape with injuries.

Among the high-ranking divine generals, Yan Ba ​​is not considered particularly powerful, but he is still a high-ranking divine general nonetheless.

Gao Chong, however, was only a mid-level Divine General. Even with Zhao Kuangyin's Longwu buff, while he had surpassed Yan Ba ​​in combat power, the difference was minimal.

His helpers, while being helpers, were also a burden.
No matter what, they're all on the same side. When these people are in danger, Gao Chong has no choice but to go and save them.

That's why Yanba was able to break through despite his injuries.

However, Gao Chong's divine power also left a deep impression on Yan Ba.

Gao Chong's strength is still somewhat inferior to that of the first-rate, but it is almost superior to that of the second-rate.

It can be said that, in terms of strength alone, he is almost at the top of the second tier.

Yan Ba's greatest strength lies in his aura, not his power.

As for Wang Xuanba, although he is the strongest among the people of Xicang, his overall strength is far superior to that of the others.

However, in this battle, he was even more disheveled than Yan Ba.

Like Li Yuanba of the Han Dynasty, Wang Xuanba had the temperament of a child, and needed someone to watch over him on the battlefield.

But at this moment, who can take care of whom?

Therefore, although both were trying to break through, Wang Xuanba did not have a plan or a goal like Yan Ba. Instead, he rushed around aimlessly like a swarm of flies.

With his method of breaking through, it's certainly not easy to actually get out.

Fortunately, they ran into Huang Tian, ​​who was putting out fires everywhere, and managed to take him out with them.

However, no matter how powerful the Emperor is, he is ultimately unable to be in two places at once.

He could save Meng Wen, Meng Wu, and Wang Xuanba all by himself, but if he wanted to save more people, his strength would be insufficient.

The reason why this battle was said to have caused heavy losses to Xicang was because Xu Hanzhang, one of the key figures in Xicang, was also caught up in the battle.

Xu Hanzhang was one of the greatest contributors to the re-establishment of the Xicang Dynasty in Hexi Circuit. Similarly, after the establishment of the Xicang Dynasty, he naturally became one of the highest-ranking officials in the Xicang Dynasty.

The impact of this battle on him is far greater than the deaths of Yan Beikuang and a few others.

At the same time, Lian Po on the western front defeated Zhou Yiming once again. In an instant, both the western and southern fronts of Xicang fell. Yan Ba ​​and Zhou Yiming led the last remaining troops to jointly defend the last county.

However, with only 20,000 troops left, it's doubtful that anyone in Xicang, from top to bottom, is confident they can hold out for too long.

The fall of Xicang naturally put immense pressure on the Dali Dynasty.

The Dali Dynasty's military campaign against the Song Dynasty was partly due to the personal relationship between Hong Qigong and Duan Zhixing, the previous emperor of Dali, as well as the personal relationship between the previous leader of the gang and Duan Yu, the son of the Prince of Zhennan of Dali.

However, it's impossible that it could really be derived solely from this.

There was no other reason than that, just like the four minor dynasties of the past, they had no other choice. It wasn't that they necessarily wanted to provoke the Song Dynasty, but rather that the situation forced them to do so.

After the Song Dynasty conquered Xicang, the small dynasties they ruled were in grave danger.

After all, once Zhao Song takes over Xicang, Zhao Song will be surrounded by either the Han, Wei, or Wu. Apart from these three, only their small dynasties will remain.

If the Zhao Song dynasty were to take the next step, it wouldn't take much thought to choose which target they would pursue.

Therefore, their choice to help Xicang was, in essence, a way of saving themselves.

They didn't want to provoke the Song Dynasty, but what could they do when their power was so great?

Being weak and powerless, they didn't have many choices.

Only by protecting Xicang and forming a strategic alliance with it could they survive under the rule of the Song Dynasty.

However, the continuous defeats of Xicang have left the people of Dali on the other side numb!

They're risking their lives so much just to protect Xicang and have someone share the burden of the pressure. But if they fail to protect Xicang, it will only give the Song Dynasty an excuse to send troops!

However, once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.

Now that the fighting has begun, there's no room for regret. Even if Xicang were truly finished, let alone if it weren't, there's no way to go back now.

At this time, the western front of the Zhao Song dynasty was at its weakest. If they couldn't carve out a piece of flesh now, there would be even less hope later.

Therefore, the arrival of Dou Jiande's remaining forces and this army at this time was timely for the Dali Kingdom, which was facing difficulties.

In fact, the Dali Kingdom received them directly at the front lines.

The Dali Kingdom was most lacking in strong generals.

Although the martial arts atmosphere in the Dali Dynasty was quite good, with a considerable number of martial arts families and a steady stream of martial arts masters, the Dali Dynasty's royal family itself was the largest martial arts family within the dynasty.

However, within Dali, those who practice internal martial arts are few and far between, and those who engage in battlefield combat are extremely rare.

Therefore, although Dali has a good martial arts atmosphere, it is indeed extremely lacking in strong generals.

When Dou Jiande's remnants arrived, most of his core members were given high positions. After all, this group had essentially invested in the company.

In fact, the Dali royal family even considered having Duan Yu take Dou Xianniang as his concubine in order to ensure that this group of people would fight wholeheartedly for Dali.

Although Duan Yu is the heir of the Prince of Zhennan, the current Emperor of Dali is devoted to martial arts and Buddhism, and has no sons, and even his harem has been empty.

Although Duan Yu is nominally the heir of the Prince of Zhennan, he is essentially no different from the Crown Prince of Dali. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, there is at least a 60-70% chance he will become the next emperor of Dali.

Unfortunately, it was clear that the Dali royal family was simply being delusional. Neither the man nor the woman had any romantic feelings about the matter.

Originally, Dou Xianniang was thinking about how to refuse this matter.

After all, she might be able to postpone the wedding for a while under the pretext of mourning her father, but this reason could only postpone the final wedding date; it wouldn't affect getting engaged now.

Ultimately, their true allegiance wasn't to Dali, but to the Han Dynasty. After all, they had fought their way out of the Great Wu, one of the seven great dynasties. If they were truly choosing a master, why would they choose Dali, a place with little future or hope in any aspect?
And if she were to marry Duan Yu, what would their actual masters, the Han, think?
However, before Dou Xianniang could even think of a way to refuse, Duan Yu had already done so. To be more precise, he staged a runaway wedding.

Compared to the remnants of Dou Jiande's faction, the exiled faction led by Huangfu Long and Huangfu Dou received relatively worse treatment.

After all, they weren't like the remnants of Dou Jiande who invested with their own capital. Although they were also given high positions, they were all nominal posts with little real power. Moreover, these were all given out of respect for the two men surnamed Huangfu.

After all, they are of royal blood from the Great Cang Dynasty, so it wouldn't look good to give them a lower rank.

Meanwhile, the Dali Dynasty, having just gained the allegiance of such a large number of powerful generals, launched another offensive with renewed confidence.

Furthermore, they took the initiative to challenge the Song Dynasty.

Prior to this, Dali lacked strong generals, and Zhao Bifang, a fierce general from the Zhao Song imperial family, had thoroughly defeated them.

In this battle, Zhao Bifang killed the fierce general Ba Shanhe of Dali with three strokes, and in another day he defeated twelve generals of Dali in succession, which made the Dali army tremble with fear and could only close their camp and not come out.

Ba Shanhe is no nobody in Dali; his strength ranks among the top three of all the generals in Dali.

It is easy to imagine the immense impact Zhao Bifang's killing him with three blows had on the soldiers of Dali!
From then on, no one in the Dali Dynasty dared to fight Zhao Bifang.

In the battle between Dali and Zhao Song, the presence of Zhao Bifang in the enemy's ranks naturally weakened their morale by three points.

Therefore, for Dali, it is imperative to defeat Zhao Bifang in front of the entire army. Otherwise, the subsequent battles will be much more difficult!
Fortunately, among the people who came during this period, there were no god-level warriors.

However, these people had also been briefly tested by the Dali side, and several of them were among the best of the Heavenly Rank. Each of these individuals would be considered one of the top people in the Dali Dynasty.

Even if they fight one-on-one, they might not be a match for Zhao Bifang, but if two or three of them team up, they might be able to defeat him.

Huangfu Long, Huangfu Dou, Wang Lin (Liang Lin), Wang Fang (Liang Fang), Shi Bao, Deng Yuanjue, and others were also eager to get started and were ready to make a big splash.

If these people want to establish themselves in the Dali Kingdom, they must demonstrate their true abilities.

Especially Huangfu Long and Huangfu Dou, when it came to attacking the Zhao family, they certainly didn't hesitate at all.

Although they have now surrendered to the Han Dynasty for various reasons, they are still of Huangfu blood. As members of the Huangfu family, what good feelings could they possibly have towards the rebels who caused this rebellion?
If they were to meet on the battlefield, they would be as ruthless as possible.
