Chapter 34 Fighting

Chapter 34 Fighting
The one-day truce passed quickly.

After dawn the next day, a loud bugle call sounded in the military camp, and the soldiers began to assemble. Di Hong, who was practicing in the tent, came out of his practice state.

Walking out of the tent, the kingdom's soldiers have already assembled and are heading towards the battlefield.

After Di Yang put on his armor, he took the sword handed to him by the soldier and came to his side.

"Let's go."

The soldiers brought two horses over, and the two brothers mounted their horses and went to meet Xue Ye. The army of the Kingdom of Silves was on the right wing of the army, the army of the Kingdom of Barak was on the left wing, and the army of Haagen-Dazs was in the front.

With this arrangement, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xue Ye wants to use the Xing Luo Empire to weaken the strength of the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom, and at the same time indirectly weaken the power of the second prince Xue Yu.

Once the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom suffers a severe blow, they will be unable to support Xue Yu. Xue Yu's power will then be hit hard, and he may even fail in the competition with Xue Ye.

Hundreds of thousands of troops arrived on the battlefield like an overwhelming force.

Across the street is the military formation of the Xing Luo Empire.

The battlefield was filled with flags fluttering and a solemn atmosphere. The surrounding atmosphere gave people a sense of awe, but at this moment, Di Hong felt his blood boiling. How many men would not want to lead a million-strong army on horseback?

Unfortunately, these hundreds of thousands of troops had nothing to do with him, and he was just like a spectator.

Xue Ye, dressed in bright silver, stood with his sword in his hand. Beside him, besides Di Yang and Di Hong, there was also the Soul Saint of the Heaven Dou Empire's Soul Master Corps.

At this moment, the only sounds on the battlefield were the neighing of war horses and the roaring of war beasts. Apart from that, there were no other sounds. All the soldiers held their breath, tightly gripping their weapons, waiting for the attack horn to sound.

Dai Yutian, dressed in black armor, also stood on the high platform and stared at the opposite side. He seemed to want to cross the entire battlefield and see Xue Ye on the opposite side. Unfortunately, the two were too far apart. He could not see Xue Ye, and Xue Ye could not see him either.

He looked up at the sky.

The sky is clear, the sun is shining, and birds are flying across the sky.

He retracted his gaze, drew his sword and pointed it forward.

"Attack!" After receiving Dai Yutian's order, Xu Zhong immediately issued a military order.

"Woo!!!"

The attack horn sounded, and the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire waved their flags.

"War beasts attack!"

"Heavy infantry attack!"

After receiving the order, the infantrymen in the front wearing heavy armor and holding large shields immediately raised their shields and marched towards the front of the Tiandou Empire's army as a whole. Although their speed was not fast, their momentum was extraordinary. The entire phalanx was like an overwhelming force, full of oppression.

Along with the heavy armored infantry, there were dozens of huge war beasts marching in the front.

Di Hong looked at the slowly approaching army and clenched his hands tightly.

"here we go."

"Don't be nervous." Di Yang patted him and calmed him down.

"I'm not nervous, just a little excited."

"Excited?" Di Yang was a little surprised. It turned out that his younger brother was a warmonger.

Xue Ye nodded to the general beside him at this time.

The general clasped his fists and saluted, then walked to the side and shouted loudly: "Archers, get ready!"

The soldiers raised the command flag, and the archers in the army immediately drew their bows and shot arrows.

After Xing Luo's heavy armored infantry approached, the general gave orders again.

"put!"

In an instant, the front army seemed to be blocked, and arrows from the sky rained down on the heavily armored infantry phalanx of the Xing Luo Empire.

"defense!"

The Xing Luo general in command immediately gave the order, and all the soldiers raised their shields. "Ding!"

"Ding!"

The arrows landed on the shields, creating sparks. Ordinary arrows could not penetrate the shields. This rain of arrows caused basically no damage to the heavy armored infantry of the Xing Luo Empire.

The infantry continued to advance and they were already approaching the Tiandou Empire's camp.

At this time, the infantry phalanx in front of the Tiandou Empire also began to move.

Accompanied by the sound of drums and trumpets, the heavy infantry phalanx in front of Tiandou began to advance.

When the infantry phalanxes of both sides were about to come into contact, long spears stretched out from the formations of both sides.

Soon the two sides came into contact, collided with each other, and started fighting.

"Encircle the cavalry on both wings and eat up this heavy infantry."

On both wings of the Tiandou army, tens of thousands of cavalrymen rushed out, and their horses trampled the earth, raising dust that covered the sky.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Tiandou Empire had attacked, Dai Yutian also ordered the cavalry of the Xingluo Empire to attack.

The moment the two armies clashed, the heavy armored infantry of the Tiandou Empire was suppressed. The huge war beasts broke through their camp as soon as they clashed, and the heavy armored infantry of the Xingluo Empire immediately began to divide them up.

The cavalry from both wings of the Tiandou Empire were also blocked by the cavalry of the Xingluo Empire.

"Send out the war beasts immediately." Xue Ye gave the order immediately. They were at a disadvantage right from the start of the battle and they had to turn the situation around.

Di Hong always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Looking around, he really couldn't tell what was wrong.

Taking advantage of the favorable situation for Xing Luo, Dai Yutian ordered the heavy cavalry and archers to attack, and the light infantry also launched an attack. Xue Ye and he issued the order almost at the same time.

The armies of both sides were fighting in a melee, and the entire battlefield was like a meat grinder, but so far neither side had deployed soul masters to fight.

On the Tiandou Empire side, the Scaled Armored Army and Heavy Armored Cavalry of the Silves Kingdom and the Royal Knights and Soul Masters of the Tiandou Central Army have not yet launched an attack. The same is true for the Xingluo Empire. Their elite Tiger Legion has not launched an attack either.

The Tiger Legion was just like the Royal Knights, and Xing Luo's soul masters did not go out.

The soul masters dispatched by the subordinate kingdoms did not fight in the central battlefield. The periphery of the battlefield was their home ground, because if they fought here, it would easily affect ordinary soldiers.

Di Hong looked towards the periphery of the battlefield, where soul masters were fighting, and he could see all kinds of soul power clearly.

Listening to the report from the messenger, there was no expression on Xue Ye's face. The situation had now stabilized and both sides were in a state of balance. It just depended on who had more perseverance and could persist longer.

"Let the Scaled Armor Army go out." Feeling that the time was about right, Xue Ye looked at Di Yang.

"Okay." Di Yang did not refuse and conveyed the order to the kingdom's general beside him.

Soon, thousands of scale-armored soldiers rushed out from the central army formation. They did not shout or cry, but charged in silence. Although the scale-armored beasts looked bulky, their speed was actually not slow, and was even comparable to that of the Sky Soul Horses.

After the Scaled Armored Army rushed into the chaotic battlefield, it was a one-sided massacre. The weapons of the Star Luo soldiers chopped or stabbed them, but could not cause any harm to them, only bringing out some sparks from the friction.

But the scaly beast crashed into them and knocked them away.

A thousand scale-armored soldiers were charging across the battlefield as if they were in an empty space. Among them were ten soul masters. Although their levels were not high, they were enough to deal with ordinary soldiers.

"The Scaled Armored Army of the Silves Kingdom has finally arrived." Dai Yutian raised the corners of his mouth.

"The Tiger Guards attack."

What he was waiting for was the time when the Scaled Armored Army would be dispatched, and the Tiger Guard Army was just as its name suggested.

They are a legion riding tigers. Although the tigers they ride are not soul beasts, they are much stronger and taller than ordinary tigers. They are also wearing heavy armor.

The roars of tigers were carried to people's ears by the wind.

Thousands of Xingluo soldiers riding on tigers rushed forward.
