Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?
Chapter 764 - 631

Chapter 764: 631

That was Kamo Ittosai, the well-known swordsman from Fusou.

"Kamo-san!" Zhang Guanlan’s voice was stern: "You’ve seen the current situation. You cannot just stand by and do nothing!"

Upon hearing this, Kamo Ittosai raised an eyebrow, revealing a bit of apprehension in his eyes: "This is not in line with our agreement. The original deal was that we would provide you with enough armorment for three hundred thousand men, and in return, you would give us the ’Five Dragon Bloodline Pill’."

Zhang Guanlan sneered and pointed ahead: "But if the Empress takes too many losses here, you might not even be able to march into Jizhou. When that happens, who will make the ’Five Dragon Bloodline Pill’ for you?"

Most of the weapons from the 270,000 Pishi Zombie Army that were buried with the Tai Grand Emperor of Liao had long since become unusable. They could still be maintained in the mausoleum using the miasma, but they would decay rapidly once removed from the mausoleum.

With Shaobao Yu Jie and Li Xuan joining forces to crack down on arms smuggling, Zhang Guanlan had no choice but to seek help from Fusou.

The "Five Dragon Bloodline Pill" they were referring to was an evil elixir concocted by mixing "Dragon Qi" and a large quantity of "offerings". It was said that it could help royal family members have children.

The Shogunate General of Fusou had no heir and faced the same dilemma as the Jingtai Emperor.

So when Zhang Guanlan offered his help to the Fusou Shogunate, they had no hesitation and quickly agreed, exchanging enough arms for three hundred thousand men to obtain a pill that could help their Shogunate General have an heir.

Zhang Guanlan slightly changed the subject: "Are you afraid of the ’Tianji Dihe Yin-Yang Knife’?"

Seeing that Kamo Ittosai’s face did indeed turn gloomy, Zhang Guanlan confidently reassured: "Kamo-san, don’t worry! As long as you’re willing to help, I guarantee that the Tianji Dihe Yin-Yang Knife will never have the chance to be used together."

Kamo Ittosai hesitated for a moment before coldly responding: "We can help you, but we demand that the firearms used by your Shenji Camp be handed over to us."

Zhang Guanlan laughed coldly, extending one finger forward: "I can only give you a tenth! The rest I will present to YeXian Khan. You Fusou people have plenty of craftsmen. It should be easy for you to replicate."

Without arguing, Kamo Ittosai’s figure disappeared into the shadows: "Very well, a deal it is!"

The Empress of Liao, Shulv Ping wasn’t bothered by their exchange at all, she just kept her head up and sensed the strong Wuyi and Rule of Extreme Heaven closing in.

This must have been the work of Zhu Mingyue, the current Liudao Venerable, whose Rule of Extreme Heaven known as "Zhansha" caused her Primordial Spirit to throb with pain.

This made Shulv Ping give up on the idea of intervening personally. She knew that even if she mobilized the force of ten thousand armies, it would still be difficult to defeat this Liudao Venerable.

Her Rule of Extreme Heaven, "stronghold," held no advantage in front of him.

So Shulv Ping quickly turned her attention to the battlefield.

Her only hope now to enter the Qianhu Office in Chengde and use the Dragon Qi was to break the formation. She wanted to wipe out these Jin troops before nightfall as fast as possible!

At this time, nearly ninety percent of her auxiliary soldiers had been wiped out.

But because of this sacrifice, those trenches had been completely flattened. Only a thin breastwork and chevaux-de-frise remained in front of the Jin Army.

The distance between her ’Pishi Iron Cavalry’ and the soldiers of the Shenji right and left camp was now less than sixty yards!

What surprised Shulv Ping next was that the original line column formation of the Jin Army had suddenly changed.

The defensive fronts, now composed of three hundred men unit formations, had shrunk into tiny square formations. And between each square formation was a gap of at least twenty yards.

Here is what surprised Shulv Ping. She had never seen such a hollow square formation before, and no one had ever known of such formation tactics, throughout history.

Shulv Ping hesitated for a bit before coldly and decisively pressing her palm forward, igniting black flames on the bodies of the over two hundred thousand Pishi Iron Cavalry and doubling their speed in an instant!

Shulv Ping knew that if she retreated now, the sacrifices of the auxiliary soldiers would be in vain!

And as far as she could see, Shulv Ping could not grasp the possibility of any failure.

But at this very moment, many commanding generals in the charging Pishi Iron Cavalry were experiencing feelings starkly different from Shulv Ping’s.

General Pishi Shulv Xiong was among them. During his lifetime, he was one of Shulv Ping’s close guards, therefore during Shi Emperor of Liao’s purging of Shulv Ping, he was also bured alive.

In the thousand years that followed, Shulv Xiong first became an Evil Corpse and then gradually developed a simple and shallow consciousness.

At this moment, Shulv Xiong found that although the enemy’s formation seemed to have been reduced, their firepower had not lessened but increased. The terrifying crossfire formed by the sides of the square formations caused large numbers of zombie soldiers by his side to fall.

Even though Shulv Xiong wanted to rush forward against the densely packed bayonets and bullets of the square formation, he felt helpless even if he was a living corpse.

However, Shulv Xiong still suppressed his fear and tried to break through.

But these small square formations had significantly reduced the enemy’s front, allowing only a minuscule portion of the numerous Pishi Iron Cavalry on the entire front line to confront them directly.

In the end, Shulv Xiong was swept up by the overwhelming iron tide of cavalry from the rear and charged into the gaps of the square formations.

What happened next filled Shulv Xiong’s now dusk-colored pupils with terror. He found that the Jin soldiers inside the square formations on both sides were mercilessly raising their muskets, aiming at them with a pincer-like attack, leaving them nowhere to escape!

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

With the sound of a succession of gunshots, Shulv Xiong felt as if he had been hammered, losing consciousness and falling under his horse before being trampled into a pulp by the galloping iron cavalry behind him!

At the same time, at the command post in the valley entrance, Wei Zhen was also surprised to discover, "Interesting. After the line column formation was turned into a hollow square formation, the intensity of the firepower did not decrease, but rather increased?"

"That is the power of geometry!" Li Xuan’s lips curled up in anticipation.

In his world, everyone knew that the total length of a straight line and a convoluted line would be different within the same length.
