The war ended with Xinghan's retreat, and Grand Minister Junya did not order a pursuit.

This battle had made him fully aware of how troublesome Xinghan was, so he could only order the battlefield to be cleaned up and mentally review everything he had seen on the battlefield.

The combination of heaven and man to form an immortal army is an effective tactic, and we can consider developing around this model.

However, this requires the cooperation of the Western Kunlun Mountains, and it is unknown whether King Mu of Zhou can persuade the Queen Mother of the West to send celestial beings to provide reinforcements.

"Grand Minister, the results are in!" The subordinate officers approached Grand Minister Junya, their faces hesitant, unsure whether to report it.

Junya frowned and snatched the summary from the other person's hand.

Ignoring the losses of the Inhumans, let's focus directly on the losses of the Undead Legion.

"Nine thousand seven hundred and eighty-two?"

This number made Junya dizzy; the loss of nearly ten thousand was unprecedented since the Undying Legion was founded.

"How could so many people have died!" Junya grabbed the officer in charge of statistics by the neck and roared in disbelief.

The Undead Legion has suffered at least hundreds of thousands of deaths, so death is nothing to them.

But if tens of thousands of people die completely, that's a different story; rounding up, it's equivalent to 100,000 deaths.

Junya was confident that his command was appropriate and that such a major oversight would not have occurred.

"The enemy has a dark magic that can turn our soldiers into monsters and then sacrifice themselves to kill us!" The subordinate recounted the soldiers' report in its entirety.

Junya suddenly remembered the scene he had witnessed earlier. He was not very sensitive to death and had not paid any attention to it, simply assuming that the other side had used some means to kill the soldiers.

If someone dies, they die. There's nothing to worry about.

But complete death is a different story.

Junya immediately summoned several soldiers, and they all received similar answers.

Realizing that his immortality might be broken by some means, Junya broke out in a cold sweat and immediately went to report this news to King Mu of Zhou.

"Grand Minister of Works, you have been negligent all these years!" King Mu of Zhou's eyes were unfocused, but his words of criticism made Jun Ya break out in a cold sweat.

"You're only reporting things that should have been discovered on the battlefield!"

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die!" Junya prostrated himself on the ground.

"Get up, the fault is not yours!" King Mu of Zhou waved his hand and downed another cup of fine wine.

"Whether it's the Xinghan or the Tang Dynasty, they are both formidable opponents that can rival our Great Zhou. Do not underestimate them!"

"We've brought in tanks from the rear; it's time to let them get some exercise!"

King Mu of Zhou looked at a portrait beside him with a dazed expression; the portrait depicted the Queen Mother of the West.

"That way, she'll be happier!"

Meanwhile, Yue Fei was also reviewing the events of the war with a group of strategists.

The most important thing is the plan to deal with the undead army. Frostmourne in Lu Bu's hands is indeed useful, as it can directly and effectively restrict the regeneration of the undead. However, the problem is that only a few people can master it.

Moreover, once the will of Frostmourne prevails over the will of Frostmourne, the power of Frostmourne becomes limited to itself.

But if Frostmourne is released, the transformed undead will become a problem, and they are too lazy to argue with Frostmourne.

"I have an idea, what do you think about it?" Yue Fei said to the group of strategists in front of him after pondering for a long time.

"A mental attack can affect their state upon resurrection; they will have a blank period of about one second upon resurrection!"

“That’s right, there is indeed this gap!” Xu Shu nodded, having already confirmed it through analysis.

"In that case, could we consider using this to our advantage, so that after they are resurrected they fall into a coma, without killing them, but simply rendering them incapable of fighting?" Yue Fei stated his idea.

For him, there are many ways to solve problems, as long as the desired goal can be achieved.

Their goal was not to kill all these immortal soldiers, but to win the war.

Bypassing the immortal walls and directly attacking the enemy's backline would be a good option.

“The Beiwei Army can do that!” Yue Yun stood up and said.

They had fought against the Undead Soldiers and had their own assessment of their situation.

“The Miracle Legion should be able to do it if they try once or twice!” Yue Fei looked at the other two Miracle Legion commanders.

Ma Er and Sakala both nodded; it was indeed not difficult for them.

Killing an undead soldier directly with the Blade of Will consumes a lot of energy, but if it only stuns them, it will be much easier.

"Any legion with strong willpower should be able to do this, just like Zhang Xiu's main force, or the Kushan royal guard archer legion!"

After thinking for a moment, Ma Er gave two more answers.

"Send men to the rear to mobilize these two legions; we need such manpower," Yue Fei instructed the clerk beside him.

"By the way, see if we can get Dawn units transferred from the rear!"

As Yue Fei was speaking, Cheng Yaojin raised his hand and interjected.

"I, Lao Cheng, can also help with this!"

They had been hiding to observe Xinghan's military strength, but now it's about time they stepped forward and made their presence felt, otherwise they would really be seen as useless.

Yue Fei looked at Cheng Yaojin, who rubbed his hands together and chuckled, "I, Old Cheng, have two spear-and-shield soldiers under my command with a kind of willpower. Their composition is a bit strange, but they should be able to do what you said: kill the opponent and then put them into a coma."

Yue Fei gave Cheng Yaojin a deep look. From Cheng Yaojin's words, they could tell that the Tang Dynasty had also thought of the same method.

After all, this wasn't the first time the Tang Dynasty had dealt with the other side.

This indirectly confirms that Yue Fei's conjecture was valid; at least the Tang Dynasty had made preparations in this regard.

"General Cheng has been on the battlefield for a long time. I wonder if he has any suggestions to share with us?" Chen Gong asked directly.

Since Cheng Yaojin had taken the initiative to speak, they might as well take the opportunity to ask for his advice and learn from the Tang Dynasty's methods.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you all, but the Tang Dynasty really doesn't have any good ways to deal with these immortals. Your methods have already opened my eyes!"

Cheng Yaojin shook his head. The reason they ceded this war zone to Xinghan was that they hoped Xinghan could contain Xikunlun.

After all, in their previous encounters, West Kunlun's offensive was lukewarm, but its tenacity was second to none.

They had tried many methods, but basically none of them had a good solution for the Undying Army.

The fragments of the hymn they possessed only allowed them to reduce the number of resurrections of the undead army by half, making the battle on the main battlefield still very intense.

"In that case, General Cheng must obey military orders, or don't blame me for showing no mercy!" Yue Fei nodded, not pursuing the matter further, but first explaining the rules to Cheng Yaojin. "Yes, sir!" Cheng Yaojin cupped his hands in greeting.

After witnessing Yue Fei's command, he was completely convinced.

Although he couldn't tell exactly how great Yue Fei was, he was 100% certain that Yue Fei was a military genius.

Cheng Yaojin may not be good at much else, but he is exceptionally skilled at currying favor with powerful figures.

After some consideration, Yue Fei concluded that, not counting the uncertain Dawn Legion, the three Miracle Legions and four Willpower Legions he had on hand were enough to break the deadlock.

If nothing changes on the Zhou side, Yue Fei is confident that he can wipe out the Zhou army in one fell swoop.

But change is inevitable, and Yue Fei would not underestimate his opponent.

Whether it's the sheer size of the Great Zhou Dynasty itself, or the things that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden displayed, both demonstrate the Great Zhou's power.

He can't simply push the opponent aside, so he needs to do more preparation.

"Should we also bring Zhang Yide over? His fear aura should be a countermeasure against these immortal soldiers."

"He can apply. I remember his headquarters has been rebuilt in recent years... Don't force him to be drafted. Let him decide for himself!"

Yue Fei hesitated for a moment, but decided to let Zhang Fei make the choice himself, since Zhang Fei's headquarters had already been rebuilt for the fourth time.

Each time, they fought to the last few dozen men, making it arguably the most devastating legion in Xinghan. Even Yue Fei had to consider the impact.

To be honest, if it weren't for Mu Yi's clone, the Emperor of Fengdu, being able to directly rescue people and allow many dead soldiers to return to the mortal world, it would have been a huge loss.

Zhang Fei might never be able to recruit anyone in his lifetime, since the casualty rate was just too high, so high that even Zhang Fei himself couldn't accept it.

Fear might work on the undead soldiers; there's no need to forcibly conscript Zhang Fei.

“Now that we’ve confirmed that the enemy is the Great Zhou, then what about the chariots…” Chen Gong turned his gaze to Cheng Yaojin, his eyes filled with inquiry.

"I haven't seen any chariot legions!" Cheng Yaojin shook his head. "None have I seen any cavalry units either!"

Everyone knows the history of the Zhou Dynasty, and they all know that before the rise of cavalry, chariots were the most powerful weapons on the battlefield.

If you say that the Great Zhou Dynasty didn't exist, no one will believe you.

"Even so, we probably need to make plans early, as the infantry-vehicle coordinated tactics may be disadvantageous to us!"

Chen Gong wore a worried expression; they all knew about the problem with the chariots.

It has many weaknesses, but when it charges, it has the power to surpass even Ma Chao's main force.

This advantage can outweigh most of the disadvantages, and the remaining terrain problems can be solved through cloud channels, luck acceleration, and other means.

More importantly, the existence of the immortal soldiers allows the chariot legion to completely disregard friend and foe and unleash its powerful might.

Tanks are inherently difficult to coordinate with other legions, and problems can easily arise if not handled carefully. However, if they are Undead Soldiers, there are no such problems at all.

At worst, you'll lose your life, but you'll get back up and be a hero again.

They can even drag their enemies down to hell with them, which is a very worthwhile deal for the undead army.

“Taishi Ci’s main force can deal with the chariots head-on!” Xu Shu said casually. The best way to deal with a chariot legion is through a legion attack, which is the easiest way to deal with chariots within the known scope.

Everyone has some means of defending against long-range attacks, but long-range attacks such as arrows and naval guns may not be effective.

However, close-range legionary attacks are different; they are 100% effective and guaranteed to destroy the chariot legion.

Other legions might have issues with being neutralized by cloud formations, but Taishi Ci's main force doesn't have these problems; their firepower is more than enough.

After dozens of consecutive legion attacks, even the toughest tank legion would be destroyed.

Even the Xiliang cavalry were unwilling to directly confront the relentless bombardment by Taishi Ci's main force.

The only problem is that Taishi Ci only has one headquarters.

If the enemy really does deploy a chariot legion, it will be at least 10,000 chariots, enough to be scattered across several battlefields.

Taishi Ci didn't have the speed of Ma Chao's main force, so it was impossible for him to catch up with the entire field.

“We can also deal with the chariot legion!” Ji Jian raised his hand. Their Houtu Legion was quite effective against these charging legions.

They could simply build walls on the spot, which would be enough to serve as the first wave of buffers. The chariots and cavalry, which had lost their speed, were no threat at all.

"Very good!" Yue Fei nodded. If the three Miracle Legions were also included, the central army plus the left and right flank tridents would be barely enough.

However, this is only the most makeshift solution; the rest requires further consideration.

They're just talking theory now; when they get to the battlefield, it all comes down to their performance and reactions on the spot.

Even a military genius like Yue Fei couldn't be 100% certain of what would happen on the battlefield.

All they can do is prepare countermeasures in advance so that they can be used at any time when the time comes.

Just like the Miracle Legion, it was indeed omnipotent in Yue Fei's strategy list, but the problem was that three Miracle Legions were simply not enough for a battlefield with a scale of millions.

Who knows how many monsters and demons will appear then? It's best to keep miracles in your hands like a sharp blade that's never drawn, ready to be used to slay your opponent at the crucial moment.

Yue Fei and his officers engaged in a frantic brainstorming session, trying to find solutions to any problems they could think of, and calling for support from the rear if they couldn't solve them themselves.

They started aggressively increasing their bets, constantly filling their hand to prepare for any potential problems.

"Report, Commander Yue, the intelligence department has discovered that a large number of demonic beasts are gathering from another direction!" The scout brought extremely bad news.

"The estimated number exceeds 200,000!"

Yue Fei frowned. There was no doubt that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had made her move. Considering the possibility of flying monsters among the demon beasts, Yue Fei was having a headache.

He wasn't afraid of being attacked from both sides, but this undoubtedly increased the variables significantly.

"Our army can participate in the battle against the monsters!"

Cheng Yaojin stepped forward once again, leading 50,000 men, 10,000 of whom were targeting the Undying Soldiers, and the other 40,000 were all targeting the demonic beasts.

Yue Fei did not place all his hopes on the Tang army.

"Borrow the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry from Cao Wei and bring the Blood Shadow Guards from the rear!" Yue Fei made a quick decision.

"Borrow the Eleventh Eagle Legion from Rome!"

Since so many monsters have arrived, let's deploy the legion best suited to deal with the beast tide.

"Alright!" Xu Shu briefly recalled the characteristics of these legions in his mind, nodded immediately, and began to write the transfer order.

Xinghan's current legion reserves are sufficient to handle any situation. (End of Chapter)
