Chapter 2712 Blood-Transforming Divine Blade Battles the Golden Hoop, Star Lord Fights Hou Qing Alone
During Jiang Ziya's troop deployment, Jiang Chaoyun immediately chose four of the most dangerous locations after accepting the Yueshan defense line, intending to establish four large camps to gradually weaken the Han army forces attacking the Hanshan defense line, turning the entire Yueshan camp into a meat grinder.
However, Li Cunxiao, as the vanguard, arrived too quickly, so much so that the construction at the Yamaguchi camp was not yet completely finished.
Jiang Chaoyun, a renowned general with a hundred battles under his belt, decided to use the enemy's plan against them. He lured the Han army's vanguard into the mountain pass through the first camp, where they suffered heavy losses.
Although it was just a vanguard force, not Feng Yi's main force of 100,000 troops, Jiang Chaoyun still had a good chance of winning even in a head-on battle.
But how many casualties would they suffer in a direct confrontation? If they lured the enemy into a narrow mountain pass and laid an ambush, how many casualties would they suffer in eliminating the same enemy?
Now that their military strength is becoming strained across the Great Qian, Jiang Chaoyun naturally wants to achieve the greatest results with the least cost.
To this end, he even dispatched his own son, Jiang Wang, to personally oversee the ambush.
At the same time Jiang Wang ordered the arrows to be fired, Hou Qing's troops, who had been retreating, turned back and attacked An Xiuxiu's troops once again.
"Not good, Brother An, quickly order the soldiers to retreat!" Fu Cunshen shouted anxiously to An Xiuxiu.
Engaging the enemy in this terrain, especially in an ambush, would inevitably result in total annihilation. At this point, the only option is to retreat at all costs, fleeing as many as possible.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!" An Xiuxiu didn't even need Fu Cunshen to remind her; she anxiously gave the order immediately.
However, in such narrow mountain terrain, it was easy for their army to enter, but how could they possibly get out in a short time?
In a short time, their seven thousand soldiers were trapped here by the Qian army and fought fiercely, and nearly half of them had been killed or wounded.
Even Zhang Guifang and Ma Sui were forced to retreat repeatedly by Hou Qing. Zhang Guifang, who was relatively weaker, was even injured at this point.
Although Hou Qing alone was no match for Zhang Guifang and Ma Sui working together, Yu Hua emerged from the Qian army once again.
He even threw out a Blood-Transforming Divine Blade right from the start. Although it was blocked by Ma Sui's golden hoop, the time that the two were fighting allowed Hou Qing to focus on dealing with Zhang Guifang alone.
Zhang Guifang's strength among god-level generals is definitely not bad. In fact, without exaggeration, with the addition of the "Mourning Star Lord" skill, his strength is definitely among the top tier of low-level god-level generals.
Unfortunately, his "Death Star" skill had no effect on Hou Qing.
However, if this skill cannot be used, Zhang Guifang's combat power will be very limited in a one-on-one situation.
In a short period of time, Hou Qing injured him.
"Ding! Hou Qing's Evil Fiend skill effect four activated: Evil Fiend Poison. When the power of blood fiend invades the opponent's body, it can continuously reduce the opponent's martial power value. The degree of reduction depends on the situation. If it is not eliminated for a long time, there is a certain probability that it will permanently reduce the opponent's base martial power value."
Zhang Guifang's current martial prowess is -1, base martial prowess is 105, equipment is +2, martial god is +4, deathmatch is +12, and the effect of the third level of the Evil Spirit is -3. Zhang Guifang's current martial prowess has decreased to 119. "Zhang Guifang, you scoundrel, today this Yue Mountain path will be your burial ground!"
After injuring his opponent, Hou Qing fought with increasing ferocity, unleashing the Divine Howling Heaven Technique to its fullest extent. The blood-red aura on the Savage Heavenly Fiend Halberd in his hand almost transformed into a ferocious beast, relentlessly attacking Zhang Guifang.
At this moment, Hou Qing unhesitatingly unleashed his Blood Fiend Power to its limit, raising his combat strength to its peak.
Among practitioners of the same level, those who possess the Divine Howling Heaven Technique are far superior to others in terms of expending energy, let alone dealing with those of lower martial arts level.
Therefore, Hou Qing did not mind engaging in a war of attrition from the very beginning.
Seeing this, even though Zhang Guifang knew he couldn't possibly outlast his opponent in a battle of attrition, he had no choice but to push his bloodthirsty power to the limit as well. He was already at a disadvantage, and if he didn't fight back now, he would only be defeated even faster.
Even so, when both of them pushed their bloodthirsty power to the limit, the gap between them continued to widen. As the number one external martial art in the world, the amplification of bloodthirsty power brought by the Divine Howling Heaven Technique was incomparable to the amplification brought by the bloodthirsty power of other divine generals.
"Ding, Houqing Jiangzu's skill effect three activated. Born from the resentment of heaven and earth, when located in a place with dense evil energy, it can slowly absorb external evil energy to enhance and replenish its own blood evil."
Even with both of them pushing their blood demons to the limit, the difference in their combat power continued to widen. After only a few rounds, Zhang Guifang was severely injured by Hou Qing.
Fortunately, Ma Sui, who was not far away, noticed this scene and quickly stopped paying attention to Yu Hua. He then engraved a golden hoop directly onto the Savage Heavenly Fiend Halberd that was about to fall on Zhang Guifang's chest, saving Zhang Guifang's life at the critical moment.
Then, Ma Sui immediately charged forward with his gun and blocked Zhang Guifang's path.
"Brother Guifang, you go deal with that scoundrel Yu Hua, I'll handle this villain!" Ma Sui called out to Zhang Guifang, who was being protected behind him.
Although Zhang Guifang was seriously injured at this time and probably no match for Yu Hua, who was also a god-level general, their goal was not to defeat him, but to hold him off for a while and buy time for An Xiuxiu to lead his troops to retreat.
After all, in that brief exchange, Ma Sui already knew that Yu Hua's strength was not that great. As long as he could defend against the opponent's Blood Transformation Divine Blade, this person's level was just so-so.
With Zhang Guifang's strength, even in a severely injured state, she could still hold off her opponent for a while.
Zhang Guifang, knowing the priorities, turned her horse around without hesitation and charged towards Yu Hua, who was galloping towards them.
"You dog Yu Hua, take this shot from your grandpa Zhang!" Zhang Guifang roared, and charged at the enemy with his spear at top speed, trying his best not to give the enemy a chance to use hidden weapons.
This person, who is listed on the list of the Hundred Poisons of the World, regardless of whether he has fought against these people before, just by being on this list, all the generals in the world will instinctively be wary of him.
For many military generals, being on such a list is not necessarily a good thing.
"Ding! Zhang Guifang's 'Death God' skill effect has been activated..."
