You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

"Retreat, defend, or avoid battle will only lead to being defeated one by one."

Feng Tianyin's warning was very serious.

A single move can have far-reaching consequences; if we relinquish the strategic initiative, then the previous arrangements will be in jeopardy.

We'll give it our all.

Her answer was simple, and the officers understood the implications. They nodded in agreement, their eyes burning with anticipation for victory. There was nothing to fear; they would stand with the High Priest.

"Since we're going to have a big fight anyway, let's make it right here."

"We are not far from the capital of Qingzhou. They will launch a fierce attack sooner or later. There is no way to avoid it."

May Heaven protect us.

The entire Daqian Expeditionary Force was determined and immediately began to deploy its troops in place, preparing for the upcoming great battle.

As it turns out, elite troops are still elite troops; the effectiveness of their commands varies.

Feng Tianyin's instructions reached each department smoothly, clearly telling everyone that they were going to be outnumbered and should be mentally prepared. However, everyone remained fearless, ready to fight to the death.

The greatest guarantee is that the high priest fights alongside them.

She is invincible.

Xia He certainly understood the power of a prestigious reputation; it would be difficult for anyone else to make a decision from the same standpoint.

Only Feng Tianyin could mobilize everyone's efforts without any cost. When she issued the order, it was as if heaven and earth were united, and everyone looked forward to an even greater victory.

On the strategic map, the Confederate forces were moving north by boat at a very fast speed.

They've learned their lesson.

They disembarked at the port just before arrival and completed the last leg of the journey by land, so that Da Qian would not resort to those strange naval warfare tactics again.

In other words, both sides chose to confront each other on land.

General Hou Sheng of the Allied Forces is the younger brother of the King of Qingzhou, representing complete trust. Moreover, this hero has excellent attributes and is considered one of the best among the people Xia He has met. He also possesses the aura of the "Blessed One".

There were also priests who accompanied the army—no, according to the Great Qian Dynasty, they should be called "shamans."

Those who are not religious practitioners of the Heavenly Dao Sect are merely shamans.

The definition is not important.

The important thing is that this army is well-equipped, with both quantity and quality, and is not afraid to confront the Daqian army.

Xia He observed that both sides had their share of wins and losses.

Of course, comparing data head-on is always one-sided; we need to talk about the facts.

Once war breaks out, there are variables everywhere. According to Feng Tianyin's simulation just now, they will most likely win a Pyrrhic victory. But a Pyrrhic victory is not the result that the two of them want. It would be equivalent to the Great Qian's bloodline suffering a heavy blow.

Xia He flexed her fingers, shrugged, and took a deep breath.

"take over."

In an instant, the entire Daqian army was enveloped in a magnificent will, and with changes that even they themselves could not perceive, they swiftly executed, dropped rocks, and formed orderly formations.

The orders were carried out 100%, with an absolute determination to fight to the death and never retreat. At the same time, they began to deploy their troops in a way that did not conform to tactical doctrine.

No one was surprised; it seemed perfectly natural.

Only Feng Tianyin could see the subtle control of the Heavenly Dao's will, and there was only one reason behind that:

Stacking force.

Xia He is deliberately creating a variety of complex conditions such as [flanking attack damage buff], [multi-formation stacking correction], and [high ground attack bonus], which, when combined, are enough to make the values ​​continuously rise. This is the charm of game operation.

She meticulously categorized and constantly adjusted the 10-strong army.

The battle to the death that follows depends on them.

Feng Tianyin silently witnessed this bizarre yet magnificent scene, where thousands of troops were assembled and adjusted at will, like precise machine parts...

can't read.

But I was deeply shocked.

This kind of true player privilege was something she didn't possess, so Feng Tianyin stopped paying attention and instead stood with her sword drawn, gazing into the distance. Dust was rising on the horizon, and a rumbling sound echoed beneath her feet; the enemy was rapidly approaching.

The largest battle in the history of the known world will take place.

coming.

The violent tremors of the ground reminded Feng Tianyin that the enemy was filled with murderous intent and had begun to accelerate their charge.

They disregarded the formalities of battle formations and the constraints of conventional warfare; they simply wanted to crush you. The fury of the Southern Allied Forces was unstoppable; waves crashed down relentlessly, the horizon resembled a sandstorm, and pebbles on the ground bounced and nearly flew into the air.

She gripped the horse-slaying sword tightly, her face filled with excitement.

The aura of the Heavenly Dao could be felt enveloping the entire battlefield, and it was incredibly clear.

It means fighting side by side.

I am extremely honored to be fighting against the enemy alongside the army commanded by the Heavenly Dao; I must give it my all.

To the Southern Allied Forces, the atmosphere of the Daqian Army was strange. Why was it so quiet? There wasn't even the basic drumming or horn blasting. Moreover, upon closer inspection, the formation was also oddly arranged and full of strangeness.

General Hou Sheng frowned and gripped the reins even tighter.

He knew perfectly well that this battle was not going well; the blessing on his body was a warning of danger, making it hard not to think of the defeat at Wangjiang.

Forget it.

Once on the battlefield, one must be single-minded. Since his elder brother, the King of Qingzhou, has entrusted him with this mission, he must win. He must win this battle no matter what, and also to avenge the defeat at the Battle of Wangjiang.

"Accelerate, charge!"

At the same time, he waved his command flag to signal the longbowmen to fire their arrows, and in an instant, a cold glint of light shot up into the sky, weaving through the dark clouds.

They fell in a high-speed parabolic trajectory, plunging straight into the Daqian army formation.

Ping ping ping!

However, at almost the same time, all the soldiers within range raised their shields and, under Xia He's unified command, caught the arrows perfectly. The entire volley of arrows was fired without a single one being damaged, which was astonishing.

Another one single-handedly deflected the arrows without even using a shield.

Within a two-meter radius of Feng Tianyin, there were broken arrows everywhere, but she herself was spotless, and her steed stood tall and proud, eager to charge.

She would have been fine standing up if it weren't for her mount.

"how is this possible?"

The Southern Allied Forces were shocked by the performance of the High Priest and the Daqian Army.

Before they could react, a rain of arrows rose into the air. As the distance between the two sides shortened further during the charge, they became perfect targets, whistling and swirling across the entire area in an instant. Men and horses tumbled and fell, their cries of agony filling the air.

Allied soldiers either fell from their horses, died on the spot, or blocked their comrades' path, causing chaos in the front ranks.

wrong!

The astute Hou Shengcai realized that these arrows were almost divinely inspired, hitting with remarkable accuracy, either aimed at warhorses or vital points, with extremely high lethality, and even flying around him.

It's pointless to shoot a hero; it's better to leave it to the elite.

Xia He's operation improved accuracy.

Under the player's control, the game can naturally achieve ideal values, without any inexplicable variables such as wind speed, rate of fire, or angle.

They belong to the category of "ruining the game experience." If you want to emphasize gameplay, then hit the mark.

Every single one of them was a false alarm.

In this round of archery combat, the Daqian army won a great victory.

The elite troops at the forefront of the Southern Allied Army fell in an instant. As the spearhead of the charge, their loss slowed down the pace of the attack, causing congestion in the rear and forcing them to reduce their speed.

The sheer size of 25 people has both advantages and disadvantages, making it easy for the army to be unable to maneuver effectively.

"Divide into front and back rows, pay attention to the flanks, and be wary of enemy cavalry."

Hou Sheng immediately ordered them to disperse.

In contrast, the Daqian army remained as still as Mount Tai, not moving an inch. Why weren't they charging? There were a lot of strange things going on, but today they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

boom!

The allied forces' attack on the Daqian army felt like hitting a mountain; it was like an ant trying to shake a tree—they stood firmly there, unmoved. Not only did they not move, but they also turned around and thrust their spears, causing a bloody mess to fly everywhere.

The first wave of cavalry charges were annihilated before they could even break through the enemy lines.

That's how Xia He arranged it.

She knew that dispersing troops would easily lead to chaos, so she simply concentrated her forces to compete in terms of organization.

Under the premise of taking over and controlling the situation, the entire Daqian army is an impregnable fortress, and will not waver in the slightest, watching the cavalry charge without changing their expressions or skipping a beat.

Human beings’ instinctive fears were suppressed to the extreme.

in contrast.

The approaching allied cavalry, seeing the unwavering Daqian army, became fearful and hesitant. As a result, they all died from being stabbed by spears, and the corpses they left behind only served to intimidate them.

They panicked for a moment, not knowing what they were fighting.

"Stay calm, maintain formation, keep charging, keep the onslaught coming, wave after wave."

Hou Sheng's command was accompanied by a roar.

The advantage of having a large group becomes apparent at this point, since most people don't know what's happening in the front row and just rush in without thinking.

Under normal circumstances, this cannot shake the morale of the entire army; the side with more people has more health.

It has been weakened.

Xia He watched as the enemy's morale dropped, but the Daqian side was also under pressure, like a dam being battered by a flood. If it collapsed, wouldn't it completely flood the land? They had to hold on.

She commanded the cavalry to launch a pincer attack from both flanks.

The experienced commander had anticipated this and immediately set up a defensive formation, which crumbled at the first touch.

Xia He's cavalry, fully buffed and at their peak, easily overwhelmed the enemy's prepared defenses with their fierce acceleration, impact, organization, and strength.

The door was wide open.

The Confederate army's central formation was exposed.
