953 Using The Spear To Attack The Kids Shield (1/2)
Wind and sand spread through the air as killing intent charged into the clouds. Hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers were charging into the wilderness and killing one another.
Corpses were laid out everywhere. Sand patches were dyed a dark red color with fresh blood.
This was the northwest of Yuanlian World in a place known as West Gravel Plains. It wasn't an important place but there was an intense battle going on.
This place had no key points to defend, however, there were many large-sized green patches of land that allowed troops to cross through.
Zhuang Yu stood on a sand dune and quietly looked on at the battlefield below.
They were on the road to a great victory! The Alliance Army of the east countries had close to 130 corpses laid on the ground!
At this moment, their war rewards were swiftly increasing!
Tens of thousands of Elite Cavalry were chasing from behind, splitting up, stopping, chasing, causing the enemy formation to break apart!
A full 200,000 infantry troops along with 200,000 Big Dipper Swordsman and 10,000 Xuandu Guards were close behind. They moved at their fastest pace, claiming lives whilst pushing through their exhaustion.
They were really intense and their morale was high!
Zhuang Yu had gone through a dozen such winning battles in a short few months.
He had probed at the start to him but then tossed aside all considerations and attacked maniacally at the end.
Although he killed 100,000 today, it didn't affect his emotions at all.
On the contrary, the hidden exhaustion on the faces of the cavalry and infantry troops made him worried.
Within 10 days, they covered 4,000 miles. Even elites made out of iron wouldn't be able to take this.
Even an army who won 100 out of 100 battles would still collapse sooner or later.
If his assessment was accurate, he would still need to push his troops forward to save the situations all around.
Zhuang Yu frowned as the green veins on his fists burst out. In the end, he released his grip and sighed.
He had commanded troops for so many years, but he had never felt so helpless.
He has used close to half the number of troops to defend tens of thousands of miles of defensive lines.
They were in trouble in every direction.
Actually, according to him, the best method would be to take the initiative to strike out, using attack as the best form of defense. He would strike the crucial points to force the enemy to fight to the death!
Only then could they use their strengths to cover up their weaknesses.
Surging in every direction to defend would be really tough and extremely difficult to manage.
However…
Great Gan Celestial Dynasty didn't have enough strength.
Advisor Mu Liao's reminder could be heard from behind, bringing him to his senses as he continued to face forward.
He hesitated a little and was very reluctant, however, he still nodded, ”Order the troops to stop and rest where they are! After all, the post-battle matters, the cleaning of the battlefield and the consoling of the troops has to be done appropriately.”
In the desert, the locally produced horses of Yuanlian World couldn't dash quickly and could often only be used as mounts.
However, when Zong Shou arrived in the world, he brought a total of 100,000 Windrider and Cloud Stepping Foals. They could step in the air and within the desert they were totally unrestricted and it could totally use their abilities.
The Black Fox Iron Cavalry that had increased to 7,000 now had gone through hundreds of battles and their strength far exceeded the Xuan Grade Dao Soldiers of the Xuandu Guards.
Wherever their horses went, they were pretty much unstoppable!
This was why Zhuang Yu wanted to use the cavalry advantage to wipe out the enemy to destroy the northwest elites so as to reduce the pressure in future battles.
However, the outcome today was a little unideal or maybe his hopes were too high.
The enemy General was also really intelligent. It was like he didn't care about the outcome of the battle and knew how to preserve the strength of his troops.
Turning his head around, Zhuang Yu looked back to the Young Advisor behind him with a praising eye.
Recalling his name and memorizing it, Zhuang Yu turned back around and headed back to the Commander tent.
At this moment, the Great Gan Celestial Dynasty not only lacked troops, they also lacked Generals.
This person was not threatened by his prestige and was able to remind him in time. It was obvious that he was bold and intelligent.
However, he heard Mu Liao discussing.
”We still lack troops! If not, why would we let these bunch of rabbits escape?”
”It is all Country Ruler's fault. A year ago, Commander had informed the countries to prepare their troops. However, till today they only increased their number of soldiers by 20%, what's the use then?”
”We can't blame a woman's cooking for being bad if she doesn't have rice. The enemy's reinforcements seem endless. Where did they get so much strength and finances?”
”I heard that half a year ago just Xuanling Guild sent at least 17 Spaceships. They brought a total of three million armors. What about us?”
”To think that those Country Rulers have been delaying on all the rations and replenishments. They didn't want to increase their taxes either! Have they not heard that if there is no skin, then there is no hair left?”
”If this goes on, who knows how long we will be able to last for?”
Zhuang Yu's brow rose up. This time it could be considered a huge victory.
However, why did Mu Liao have to say all this? Disrupting the morale of the troops, he really deserved to be killed!
He wanted to chide him, but for some reason he kept quiet and acted like he didn't hear it.
