Chapter 362 - The Weapon (2/2)

The two groups intersected and the soldiers at the front were pushing their shields with their bodies and smashing it against the opponent.

During the fierce clash, some people stepped back and some fell down. And gaps began appearing in the tight formation. The weapons now had room for action. The soldiers who followed them stabbed with spears in their hands.

The dreaded yelling drowned everything.

The two armies were locked in a fierce battle, but Liu Dazheng was not in it. As the commander, what he needed to do now was to assume personal command in the middle of the town and make arrangements for all the fronts.

Liu Dazheng was confident that the military power of the Pinglu Army was not something the Hedong Army could currently match up to.

The opponent did have the numbers advantage, but only slightly. Before the numbers advantage could be in full effect, the Pinglu army could break through the opponent’s formation and defeat them.

Two hours passed, and the development was similar to what Liu Dazheng expected. The Pinglu Army gradually gained the upper hand and gained momentum.

“Although the Highness had left for a while, the military strength of the three armies was still apparent. How can the Hedong Army win so easily?” As Liu Dazheng thought so, a smile appeared on his face.

But just then, the formation of the Hedong Army changed.

The morale of several suppressed army formations suddenly rose sharply. At the top of the middle of the 3,000-person Military Formation, a stream of lights lit up as if they were a whole, forming an iron armored giant. After that, the Military Formation had greatly increased its attack power.

Liu Dazheng frowned slightly, of course he knew that it was warriors of the Hedong Army demonstrating their courage and power.

Thirteen Grand Guardians of the Hedong Army, although not all of them were warriors, and along the way he and Shangguan Qingcheng beheaded several of them, there were still three or four warriors left.

However, in the Pinglu army, only Liu Dazheng and Shangguan Qingcheng were military warriors of Militarism.

This was not surprising. Hedong Army was built on the Northern Border Army and Shatuo Army, both of whom were border troops. It was a matter of course that more warriors would appear in the successive years of war. The Pinglu Army on the other hand had just been through the Huang Chao Uprising.

“When they faced off against the Hedong Army warriors in the past, it was the Highness that dispatched the troops personally. He would focus his attack on just a single direction and build a formation-arrangement advantage. After defeating the opponent, he would turn to another direction and balance out the number of warriors on the other battle lines. The Hedong Army would not have placed all their warriors on the field, thus their disadvantage pertaining to the number of warriors were not as apparent, but now…” A chief of staff looked at Liu Dazheng with concern.

Of course, Liu Dazheng knew what he meant.

Right now, the whole army had come out and joined the fray. The Hedong Army had the warriors to command the army. The disadvantages would be offset and they had the upper hand. In order to win the battle, the Pinglu army must first kill the warriors of the opponents.

“General Shangguan, please cooperate with me to fight!” Liu Dazheng made a prompt decision.

The Hedong Army had three generals, and Shangguan Qingcheng was alone. Even if she could win, she would be exhausted after attacking them one by one, and not to mention that time was not on their side.

Soon, Liu Dazheng and Shangguan Qingcheng led the ministry to the formation, replacing the soldiers who had been suppressed by the Hedong Army, and launched a counterattack against the Hedong Army.

With the addition of Liu Dazheng and Shangguan Qingcheng, the situation immediately changed. It didn’t take long for the Hedong Army’s generals in front of the two to be overwhelmed. And the light from the formation gradually faded with the risk of breaking at any time.

There were only two warriors in the Pinglu Army, which was less than that of the Hedong Army and Xuanwu Army. But Liu Dazheng and Shangguan Qingcheng were not ordinary warriors.

The former was already a general as early as the Li Xian era. And he had always been the deputy commander of the Pinglu army. The latter was from a family of warriors. She grew up in the army thus had accumulated a lot of experience.

The two of them took the lead in charging the Formation and the Pinglu army was sure to win.

It could be seen that even though Li Ye was not in the army right now, his shaping of the Pinglu Army had already been very effective. And this result would not just disappear in a vacuum.

In this battle, it was not so easy for the Hedong Army to win against the Pinglu Army. At least they had to come up with an extraordinary weapon.

Did the Hedong Army have such a weapon?

They did.

Li Cunxiao, the senior general of Militarism, was just that.

But now Li Cunxiao was idle at home.

Was there anyone else in Hedong Army who could bear the burden of determining the result of the war when the two armies were locked in battle?

There was another person.

Famous since his tender youth, it was Li Keyong himself.
