I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 486 Huang Tianlishi! It’s hard to save water!
The Ji River was one of the four rivers among the "Three Mountains, Five Peaks, Four Rivers and Eight Streams" in ancient times.

It’s a pity that after the passage of time and many changes, it has long lost its former magnificence and vastness.

Today, although the river is still considered wide, it can no longer be compared with the three rivers "Yangtze River, Yellow River and Huai River", and cannot be called a great river or a natural barrier.

The reason why Gongye Jin made such a series of maneuvers and then suddenly turned north was based on this.

As long as he moves fast enough, he will be able to successfully cross the Jishui River before the Huang Tiandao bandits in other states and counties react, and rush into Jizhou and attack the Huang Tiandao bandit lair.

By then, it will surely inspire people all over the world.

For example, the noble families in these eight states.

But unfortunately, he still underestimated the cunning and cunning ways of these thieves.

"If they had come a day later—"

Looking at the terrifying figures blocking out the sun in the sky, Gongye Jin couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

As for the leader's nonsense about "waiting for a long time", Gongye Jin sneered at it.

It's nothing more than a trick to disrupt the morale of his troops.

Glancing at the head in the thief's hand with a somewhat gloomy look, Gongye Jin's expression remained unchanged, and he just said lightly.

"Keep crossing the river."

Gongye Jin's calmness immediately calmed the somewhat panicked imperial guards officers.

Looking at the Jishui River that was creating huge waves at this moment, and the figures standing in the void that blocked out the sky, some of the imperial guards still looked hesitant.

"General, this..."

This is the disadvantage of an army that has never been truly tempered.

It's okay to fight when the wind is going your way, but when you encounter the slightest setback you become hesitant and timid.

Gongye Jin glanced at the general who was speaking, sighed in his heart, and then said lightly.

"It's okay, it's just a small storm that can be settled in a moment."

As he spoke, he took out a precious pearl and threw it onto the Ji River, uttering a word softly.

"Certainly."

The pearl looked ordinary at first, but when he took it out of his hand, it was like a meteor across the sky.

As soon as the word "ding" was uttered, a thick and powerful light suddenly burst out.

In just a moment.

The strong wind above the nine heavens suddenly stopped, and without the help of the strong wind, the huge waves collapsed immediately without support, bringing down endless waves.

A group of imperial guards witnessed Gongye Jin's methods with their own eyes. After a brief shock, they were about to flatter him.

Gongye Jin did not give them this opportunity, but just repeated the sentence.

"Cross the river."

Perhaps sensing Gongye Jin's dissatisfaction, the imperial guards stopped talking nonsense and started shouting loudly instead.

"The general has given orders! Continue crossing the river!"

Military orders are as heavy as mountains. Those who violate them will be severely punished by military law at the very least, or even beheaded at the worst!
Not to mention that in the past six months, Gongye Jin has completely consolidated his prestige in the army through one victory after another.

Even if there is none, no one would dare to disobey the general's order.

As a result, the vanguard army, which had been at a standstill, quickly began to move forward again in compliance with orders.

"General's order!"

"Cross the river! Cross the river!"

Amidst the earth-shaking shouts, the long-prepared boats for crossing the river were quickly set up and then thrown into the still turbulent Jishui River.

"Heavy armor goes first! Light troops stay behind!"

"Cross the river! Cross the river!"

Some time ago, Cao Wu, who had a sudden inspiration and successfully broke through the Yuanshen realm, is now the commander of a battalion.

Just as he was about to cross the Ji River with the army, he heard a military order coming from the central army.

"General Cao, the general has ordered that you do not move this battalion yet and wait until later."

Cao Wu was a little confused.

In the past six months, he has been at the vanguard of the army, always charging into the front.

The general has never made any extra arrangements for himself. What happened today?
I was just about to strike up a conversation with the military commander and ask him what happened, but unfortunately, the other party didn't have the heart to do so. After telling me what to do, he left in a hurry.

Cao Wu was puzzled, and his men who had been ready for battle for a long time, especially those from the same clan, were somewhat dissatisfied.

They are all of a passionate age with high aspirations. Now is the perfect time to go to the battlefield and strive for fame and fortune.

If we don't let them go at this time, wouldn't we be blocking their future?

Upon seeing this, Cao Wu immediately shouted to stop them and suppressed their restlessness.

At this moment he also realized that the general's move was probably intended to protect him.

Swords and arrows are indiscriminate on the battlefield. No matter how talented you are, if you are not careful before you have fully grown up, you will inevitably end up dying before you can achieve your goal.

Realizing this, Cao Wu couldn't help but feel a bit of gratitude and respect for Gongye Jin.

When he thought about the general's words that day about his intention to take him under his wing, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart.

With this change in mentality, Cao Wu finally suppressed the surging fighting spirit in his chest, calmed down and watched the battlefield with a different state of mind as a general.

"If I were a general, how would I fight this battle..."

Looking at the vanguard army, all of which, except his own camp, were rushing towards the Jishui River, Cao Wu murmured and fell into deep thought.

……

"How brave!"

In the void above the Ji River.

When the Taoist leader Huang Tian saw that Gongye Jin easily broke his magical power and then ignored him and continued to cross the river, he could not help but snorted coldly and looked at the opposite bank far below with great annoyance.

"Today there is a poor Taoist in the Ji River. You, Gongye Jin, have no intention of crossing the river!"

As he spoke, the leader Huang Tiandao gave the order in a cold voice without even turning his head.

"Go, help me overturn his boat!"

Upon hearing this, the terrifying figures behind him, who were more than ten feet tall, immediately bowed in respect.

"Here."

"Respect the Master's will."

Taoist master, teacher who preaches the Tao, is the official in Huangtian Dao.

In his early years, he had to be a great man in Taoism to take up the position.

And last year, the Great Sage Master raised the banner of "Huang Tian" and used Huang Tian to represent Blue Heaven.

The cultivation status of these Taoist masters also rose accordingly, and together with the thirty-six leaders who now dominate the eight states, they jointly support the overall situation of Huangtian.

At this moment, one after another Huang Tianli warriors responded with a buzzing sound, like rolling thunder.

After receiving the imperial edict, he fell directly from the void and landed heavily on the Jishui River below like a meteorite.

The powerful impact brought by such a huge body once again created huge waves on the Jishui River.

"Master Dao has decreed that this road is blocked!"

The sound of thunder came along with the rolling waves.

When the waves gradually subsided and came into view, one could see those terrifying figures that almost connected the sky and the earth, like ancient giant heavenly soldiers looking down from above.

At this moment, the Ji River has no natural barriers.

These Huang Tianlishi who can stand on the Jishui River are the natural moat!

On the precious boats that were shuttling forward across the river, many of the imperial guards turned pale and trembled slightly with fear at the sight of these terrifying, inhuman giant figures.

Fortunately, at this time, the generals on the treasure ships shouted in a deep voice.

"Don't panic!"

"These Huang Tian Lishi are nothing but dead weapons, just for show!"

After making such a disdainful comment, he quickly gave an order.

"Ju Po Gang Crossbow! Shoot them!" After they killed some Huang Tianlishi in Yuzhou before, they carefully studied this ghost 'thing'. After all, it was just a defective product made using the ancient Taoist military methods.

He has no magic power, but he relies on his flesh and blood to do whatever he wants, which just looks intimidating.

As soon as the military order came out, the imperial guards on the treasure boat had no time to think about anything else and started moving instantly.

After just a few moments, huge crossbow beds that were several times larger than ordinary crossbows were pushed to the bow of the treasure ship, and the crossbow arrows that were as thick as giant trees showed their coldness in the sun.

"wind!"

The soldiers shouted in agreement, "Strong wind!"

When the command flag was unfurled, accompanied by bursts of loud sounds like springs, the cold giant arrows seemed to tear through space, and even a faintly visible white cloud ring appeared behind the arrows.

One moment, two moments——

close!

The Huang Tianli warriors who were standing on the Jishui River lowered their eyes and looked at the terrifying giant arrows that were instantly "smashing" towards them, without any ripples in their eyes.

The next moment, he stretched out his hands with just his bare hands to grab those terrifying giant arrows!

boom--

There was no sound of flesh and leather being broken as it should have been, only the loud bang of metal and stone hitting each other like a hammer hitting an anvil.

The huge potential energy brought by the Pogang crossbow arrows that tore through space caused many Huang Tianli warriors to stagger and fall directly into the Jishui River behind them.

But more... they caught it!

Even though their palms were torn apart by such terrifying power, their bodies were dragged back continuously.

But they caught it anyway!

At this moment, not only the ordinary soldiers changed their expressions instantly, but even the generals looked horrified.

"No! They are different! Not those ordinary wrestlers!"

Huang Tianlishi, guard the Taoist court!
Naturally, there are distinctions between high and low, strong and weak.

It’s a pity that the Imperial Guards didn’t know enough about Huang Tiandao, so it was understandable that they were caught off guard.

"not good!"

A general was about to fire another round, but the next moment his pupils shrank slightly, his face changed suddenly, and then he shouted in panic.

"All treasure ships - change formation! Disperse!"

The reaction to this military order was quite quick, but how much more could it matter?
When those terrifying strong men who were more than ten feet tall held the crossbow arrows in their hands upside down, they leaned back with great force and threw them out in the most ancient and primitive way.

All the soldiers could only watch helplessly as the terrifying giant arrows they had just shot came towards them to claim their lives.

Their speed was not weaker than the one they had just shot with the Pogang Crossbow, and some were even faster!

boom--

A huge crossbow arrow broke through the air and hit a treasure ship directly.

The protective array pattern engraved on it is as weak as paper in front of the huge crossbow's barrier-breaking property.

In just a moment, it pierced through the hull of the treasure boat, causing the entire treasure boat to sink suddenly, as if it was going to pull it into the abyss of the Ji River.

Fortunately, it didn't.

And unfortunately, there is none.

Because this treasure ship could not hold up enough to be dragged into the abyss, it disintegrated on the water surface.

At this moment, some of the soldiers on the treasure boat were directly torn apart and shattered by the aftermath of this powerful force, and died like ants and grass.

And even more of them were thrown into the air like flowers scattered by fairies, and finally fell into the water.

At this moment, the heavy armor on their bodies is no longer a treasure to protect their bodies, but instead becomes a weapon to claim their lives.

Almost immediately after it fell into the water, there was no trace left.

This is the first ship...

At a glance, one could see the imperial guards' treasure ships being smashed to pieces on the vast Ji River. Countless soldiers who had been brave and fearless on the battlefield did not even have a chance to fight before they were directly buried on the previously calm Ji River.

Cao Wu, who witnessed this horrific and tragic scene with his own eyes, turned pale for a moment on his young face.

The soldiers behind him instinctively swallowed their saliva with lingering fear.

At this moment, they no longer cared about resentment towards the military order from the central army that prevented them from gaining fame and honor. They only felt grateful.

"Brother, this... this..."

Xiahou Jingde said with difficulty.

"How should we fight this battle?"

how to spell?
There was a flash of confusion in Cao Wu's eyes. It was obvious that when the intensity of the war was raised to a higher dimension, he would no longer be able to cope with it.

At this time, another fellow from the same clan hesitated.

"Brother, do you think...will the general withdraw his troops?"

General? Retreat?
Cao Wu came back to his senses instantly, and he knew the answer to this question.

"will not!"

Cao Wu spoke in a firm tone.

Although they had only a few brief contacts, he had gained some understanding of the great general Gongye Jin.

This is a person who is extremely confident and arrogant, even to the point of being conceited.

Once such people set a goal, they will not change it easily.

and so--

"The general has given orders!"

"Keep going forward. Those who retreat in fear of fighting will be killed!"

"Cross the river! Cross the river!"

Cao Wu suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the central army's banner.

Cao Wu couldn't see where Gongye Jin was, but he could imagine the other's indifferent look at the moment.

Obviously, the destruction of dozens of treasure ships and the deaths of thousands of soldiers in that instant were not enough to shake the general's mind in the slightest.

"Is this the general?"

Cao Wu understood what was going on, but was greatly shocked.

But soon he had no time to think about all these trivial things, because the counterattack launched by the Huang Tianli warriors was just the beginning.

After they violently threw the crossbow arrows in their hands, they did not pause for the slightest.

The huge footsteps like a mountain can actually walk on the waves without the help of any magic power.

One step, two steps——

The Ji River was rough with waves, and on a treasure ship that had just escaped being robbed, a group of imperial guards had not yet recovered from their shock.

The next moment, I suddenly found that the light above my head suddenly dimmed.

When he raised his eyes, he was shocked to see a huge figure, almost as tall as a cloud, heading straight towards him.

Then a big hand fell down and grabbed the bow of their treasure boat.

'What is this going to do? '

A soldier was watching the scene in silence, and this thought emerged in his mind.

But his question soon had an answer.

Accompanied by a teeth-grinding sound, he felt as if he was flying into the air.

wrong!

To be precise, it was all of them, including the precious boat they were riding!

If viewed from the perspective of the soldiers on the treasure ship next door, they would see a terrifying giant figure with the strength to pull up a mountain, holding a treasure ship in both hands, and using it as a weapon, smashing towards them!
"escape!"

"Take off your armor! Jump off the ship!"
