Chapter 359 The Battle Has Just Begun

Chapter 359 The Battle Has Just Begun
"Boom boom boom——"

Four hundred and eighty-five violent explosions instantly sounded in the Ghost Witch Army.

The splattered limbs, flesh, blood, ice chips and dirt were flying all over the sky, like bright red plum blossoms blooming in the snowy field.

As the concentration of the Ghost Witch Tribe's vassal troops was too high, Gongsun Wu, Chai Yong and Dongmen Bao ordered their troops to specifically target the concentrated areas. Each rune explosive arrow could take away five or six lives.

In addition to those who were killed directly, the explosion caused even greater numbers of casualties. However, their wailing and cries for help did not last long before they were killed by the totem warriors supervising the battle of the Ghost Witch Tribe.

Qing Yi roughly estimated that the first round of Rune Exploding Arrow attacks alone killed or injured at least two thousand vassal soldiers of the Ghost Witch Tribe, which was a remarkable result.

However, the number of the Ghost Witch Tribe's vassal troops was too large, and there were only more than 160 crossbow carts in each direction. Not only did they fail to make the wild warriors shrink back, but instead made them rush forward even more frantically.

"Ghost King's blessing, victory in every battle—"

There were nearly 100,000 vassal troops in three directions. The wild warriors were fanatical, roaring and waving the animal bone weapons in their hands, and even tearing off the animal skins on their bodies to facilitate the charge.

Qing Yi couldn't help but frown slightly. The people of the wilderness advocate freedom but also worship power. They didn't expect that the influence of the Ghost Witch Tribe was so great that in just a few months, these vassal armies fought fanatically to the death.

According to the original idea, the power of the Rune Exploding Arrows was comparable to that of hundreds of artillery fire. The reason for the failure of deterrence now was not only because there were too many vassal troops of the Ghost Witch Tribe, but also because the shooting speed was too slow and the deterrent effect was insufficient.

Thinking of this, Qing Yi gritted his teeth and shouted, "Brother Gongsun, Uncle Chai, Dongmen Hu, shoot all 30,000 Rune Explosion Arrows in one go. This life is unbearable!"

The three people who were responsible for the defense command in three directions also found that their counterattack was not deterrent enough because they were reluctant to use precious rune arrows.

Now the Lord gave the order with a firm attitude. Seeing the Ghost Witch Army approaching, they gnashed their teeth and shouted, "Shoot the Rune Explosion Arrows with all their strength!"

Of course, it is impossible to defend a chariot camp of 35,000 people by relying solely on the hundreds of private soldiers and more than 2,000 militiamen under Qing Yi.

Liu Yi, Fu Shou and many other wild folk leaders, exotic beast totems, and ferocious bird totems also led elite wild folk warriors to be responsible for close combat and killing.

Fu Shou, chief of the Fuhu tribe, and Niu Wu, chief of the Qingniu tribe, led a thousand elite soldiers to assist in the defense of the south side of the chariot camp. The two guardian totems, the second-grade big cat and the green ox, acted with them.

With the help of Black Tiger tribe leader Hu Ya and Cang Xiong tribe leader Xiong Zhong, Liu Yi also assisted in defending the enemy west of Cheying. Of course, the two tribes' guardian totems, Black Tiger and Cang Xiong, were no exception.

Qing Yi, with the chiefs of the White Horse Tribe, Red Deer Tribe, and Canglang Tribe, faced the defense of the old witch of the Ghost Witch Tribe. After all, the old witch was the most cunning one.

When Qing Yi arranged the defenses in several different directions, the vassal army of the Ghost Witch Tribe was less than fifty feet away from the chariot camp, and countless rune-blasting arrows finally exploded continuously among the enemy group.

"Boom boom boom——"

In just a few breaths, each crossbow cart continuously fired more than twenty rune explosive arrows, and the sound of violent explosions was endless.

Qing Yi soon felt a strong bloody smell spreading, and the huge offensive of the Ghost Witch Tribe's vassal army, which was covered by countless splashing ice, snow, mud, blood and flesh, came to a sudden halt.

As the flying snow, blood and flesh fell to the ground, even though Qing Yi had expected it, he was still shocked by the tragic scene before him. In just a dozen breaths, the killing caused by nearly ten thousand rune explosion arrows was extremely terrible. Everywhere he looked was debris and flesh, blood was flowing everywhere, the stench was pungent, and even the bright moon seemed to be stained with a layer of blood.

Even the barbarian warriors who originally had fanatical eyes had completely lost the courage to charge at this moment. The horror of the rune bursting arrows was like pouring a bucket of cold water on them.

Many vassal soldiers who were still dozens of feet away from the chariot camp were so frightened that they turned around and ran back howling, but were beheaded by the totem warriors of the Ghost Witch Tribe who were supervising the battle.

After finally frightening the Ghost Witch Tribe’s vassal army, how could they be allowed to continue to organize attacks? Qing Yi once again shouted, “Brother Gongsun, Uncle Chai, Dongmen Hu, don’t stop, don’t feel bad, keep shooting!”

"Boom boom boom——"

The explosion sound, which had eased a little, once again enveloped the Ghost Witch Tribe's vassal army within a radius of several hundred feet. These nearly collapsed wild warriors pointed their weapons at the supervisory team and were unwilling to charge again.

The hundreds of primary totem warriors deployed by the Ghost Witch Tribe behind the vassal army were instantly overwhelmed by tens of thousands of vassal troops and completely disappeared among them.

"Wan Sheng——"

Cheers rang out again in the camp.

At this moment, whether it was the private army and militia under Qing Yi, or the various tribes of wild people who were on high alert, they all hugged each other excitedly and finally repelled the first wave of attacks from the Ghost Witch Tribe.

Nan Guoshi, Beigong Yu and San Yisheng looked at the harmonious scene of the private army, militia and various wild people cheering with deep meaning and smiled faintly at each other.

However, Qing Yi did not show any joy. He was still gazing at the distance with a serious expression. The old witch sitting on the bone throne under the ghost-faced banner was still there, and the battle between the two sides had just begun.

······
“Hmm—as expected of a young hero who killed the Cat Ghost God, the Red God of Wealth, and the Ningtu Ghost King!”

When the old witch saw tens of thousands of vassal soldiers fleeing in the distance, his eyes were terrifyingly calm, without even a hint of anger. None of the many wizards, totem warriors, and beast masters around him dared to say a word.

Wu Wuxian, the head of the Ghost Witch Department, who was standing by, also came over respectfully and said, "Old Witch, this young man's progress is too terrifying. He has grown to this point in just one year.

If he escapes this disaster tonight, it will be extremely disadvantageous for our subsequent attack on the Northern Frontier. If he and the Jiliu tribe unite again, it is really possible that the commander-in-chief of the military forces of the twelve cities in the Northern Frontier--"

"Haha, Wu Xian, don't worry. How could I not know what you said? That's why you and I are here tonight!"

The old witch's attitude was very kind, as if he was an elder who cared for the younger generation. His old, wrinkled face was full of smiles.

"Just now, the vassal armies fled without orders and even had the audacity to charge at the supervisory team. Pass the order down to execute one out of ten men immediately. No delay or excuses are allowed.

Next, let the Puppet Beast Tribe and Yin Warriors take the lead as the vanguard, followed by the vassal army and corpse puppets, and then let Tai Xi Ming in the south prepare to attack from the side and achieve success in one fell swoop."

"Great! The old witch's wisdom is unmatched. Even though that kid is a rare young talent in Xing State, it is difficult for him to predict his waves of calculations."

Senior Wu Xian said with a delighted look on his face, "Just now my subordinates shot out 20,000 rune arrows in one breath. Now that we have another round, I don't believe he still has much reserve. We will definitely kill him in this battle."
