Chapter 529: Chapter 28: World-renowned Generals, the Battle for Fame! (Vote for Monthly Tickets)_2

Upon understanding the characteristics of Yuwen Tianxian, Li Guanyi almost instinctively found the famed general’s greatest weakness. His strength lay in his lack of weaknesses, but when the enemy excelled in a particular area—

Yuwen Tianxian was all weaknesses!

The three thousand infantry consisted of shield bearers, spearmen, crossbowmen, and sword and shield soldiers; none exceeding eight hundred men. No matter how strong his shield bearers were, they couldn’t be stronger than Li Guanyi’s "Moon-shrinking Formation’s" carriage-crossbow war chariots’ defense. At this distance, his spearmen and sword and shield soldiers could not get close!

Meanwhile, on Li Guanyi’s side, archers—

One thousand eight hundred!

"So-called military tactics don’t really involve overcoming strength with weakness, but rather striking the enemy’s shortcoming with my strength!" The youth’s pupils contracted sharply as he gleaned his own meaning from the art of war: aggressive, risky, but—

Heroes of the world, are all gamblers!

Lei Laomeng saw that the time had come, gritted his teeth and swung his hammer: "Hold steady!!!"

The hammer slammed down hard, and the carriage crossbows fired!

Buzz!!!

The Mo School’s large carriage crossbows didn’t fire many Crossbow Arrows, but each one was the size of half a spear, casting a wide shadow over the enemy’s giant shield formation and sweeping over it fiercely.

Gaps appeared in the giant shields, with some Crossbow Arrows piercing straight through several men.

Blood splattered in an instant, accompanied by endless screams.

Li Guanyi shouted, "Keep shooting!"

Crossbow Arrows were fired in a frenzy. Yuwen Hua held a war spear, slashing all the crossbow bolts heading towards him into pieces. He soon realized that boats behind Li Guanyi’s formation were continuously supplying Crossbow Arrows. In that moment, he understood that if Li Guanyi’s supply chain wasn’t cut off, the relentless barrage of arrows would never stop.

The one-time use carriage crossbows had already destroyed the Heavy Shields.

Even though not many Heavy Shield Soldiers were killed or injured as a result, almost all their Heavy Shields were shattered, with the shield bearers suffering varying degrees of severe bends and twists in their arms and wrists, indicating a significant reduction in their defense against the arrow rain.

"Li Guanyi..."

Yuwen Hua, in great anger, uttered through gritted teeth, "Charge the formation, Heavy Cavalry, withstand the arrows and break through!" After deliberation, only a charge by the Heavy Cavalry seemed feasible. If the Yuwen Family were to retreat now, its reputation would suffer a tremendous blow.

"Gentlemen, the time to charge is now!"

He led a wave of Heavy Cavalry in the charge, which included brave riders fearless of arrows. Wielding his heavy spear, he struck down the lethal bolts while the others were simply ignored. The horses and riders charged fiercely, becoming one in their assault.

Upon nearing the front of the formation, they suddenly leaped into action.

They leaped directly into the Battle Formation but, before the warhorses even landed—

Inside the "Moon-shrinking Formation," soldiers who had trained for just over a month made only one move—

Gripping their long spears, they thrust viciously upwards!

That was the greatest weakness of the Armored Cavalry.

Instantly, more than a dozen spears pierced the belly of a horse, stirring violently. The weighty Heavy Cavalry, with both men and horse in heavy armor weighing thousands of pounds, but in that moment of explosive power, the group made the Heavy Cavalry lose direction and crash heavily onto one side.

The Cavalryman within still wasn’t dead!

He drew his sword to fight back, while the other soldiers began to panic.

Fan Qing shouted loudly, leaping onto him, and swiftly wrapped around the Heavy Cavalry’s neck, flipping open the face mask with one hand and thrusting a dagger straight into his eye with the other. The cavalryman struggled fiercely, and it took ten men to hold him down, yet he ultimately died.

Fan Qing gasped for air, with cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

At the same time, he gazed upon the elite corpses of the world-class troop and felt an improbable sensation—

He had killed a fully armored Armored Cavalryman?!

He did it?!

Ha ha ha, he did, he killed!

The horrific stench of blood symbolized the death of one of the strongest military forces in the world right here, giving these naive recruits a sense of incredible existence. As if they had regained their lost strength, as if their wounds no longer mattered.

The Heavy Cavalry that entered were all met with the same fate.

The thirty-three veterans of the former Taiping Army displayed even more skillful techniques of subduing and stabbing fallen Heavy Cavalry on the ground. In an instant, the "Moon-shrinking Formation" devoured more than a dozen Heavy Cavalry without any disturbance.

Li Guanyi, still the Main General, continued to maintain a balance with Yuwen Tianxian.

Rains of arrows and crossbow bolts poured down furiously.

The death toll of those three thousand infantrymen had already reached around a hundred in just a brief time.

The army’s formation slightly descended into chaos.

Yuwen Tianxian had already marshaled his forces and attacked, launching a fierce spear thrust with the White Tiger roaring and lunging at Li Guanyi, who responded with the "Fire Heaven Great Prosperity" technique. Their forces violently collided in the sky above.

Boom!!!

A huge wave erupted in the sky, dispersing Primordial Qi.

Yuwen Tianxian let out a long howl, with the White Tiger assuming an aggressive stance. Li Guanyi didn’t respond, merely countering with "Fire Heaven Great Prosperity." This was the difference between the pursuer and the defender—

If Yuwen Tianxian were to retreat, he wouldn’t suffer from the attack of the "Moon-shrinking Formation."

But that would bring disgrace to the reputation of the Yuwen Family.

Yuwen Hua, in great anger, exclaimed, "Li Guanyi, coward!"

The youth simply nocked an arrow and shot it over. Yuwen Hua rolled under his horse to dodge the shot. Li Guanyi then turned to Fan Qing and the others, commanding, "Continue firing, fill the skies with Crossbow Arrows, shoot fiercely!"

"Yes!!!"

Meanwhile, Yuwen Tianxian led the Cavalry with Light Cavalry and Heavy Cavalry on two flanks, charging the formation directly from both sides, not towards the war chariots on the flanks but deeper—
