Hearing the noise coming from the distance, the war drums suddenly beat in Hulao Pass, and 800,000 troops were waiting in full formation. The air was filled with a sense of solemnity and tension.
The Emperor of Zhou, Ye Qiu, and many generals all stood on the city wall, looking into the distance.
Soon, traces of Wei Jun appeared.
I saw the densely packed Wei army, surging forward like the roaring waves of an angry sea, with majestic momentum and shocking people's hearts.
As the army approached, the ground began to tremble, as if it was about to crack.
The dust was kicked up, forming a huge dust wall that blocked the sky and the sun, making it impossible to see clearly what was ahead.
This momentum swept over like a violent storm, making it irresistible.
At this moment, the whole world seemed to be enveloped by this majestic momentum, and everything seemed so small and insignificant.
The arrival of the Wei army was not only the approach of a war, but also an indescribable sense of shock and oppression.
Especially the big flag with the word "Wei" in the army was stained red with blood, which was irritating to the eyes.
Every soldier of the Wei Dynasty has firm and powerful steps, as if they are crushing the earth, and their eyes are firm and hot, as if they can light up the sky.
Their armor shone in the sun, shining with a cold light.
It can only be described in four words——
The morale is like a rainbow!
The generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty couldn't help but marvel.
“What a strong morale!”
"In the past, all the Wei soldiers were like sick men with no fighting ability. I didn't expect that their morale is so high now, and every one of them seems to have been reborn!"
"I have to say that King Wei is still very powerful in commanding troops!"
These generals have been in the military for many years and have reached their current position step by step through military exploits. They know how difficult it is to hone such a terrible morale for an army of hundreds of thousands.
At the same time, they also began to worry.
"Compared in terms of momentum, we have already lost a lot!"
"The morale of the Wei army is really terrible!"
"Hulao Pass is not only a deadly battle, but also a tragic battle!"
"..."
Originally, these generals were very relaxed after hearing the news of the great victory at Yannan Pass, but now after seeing the menacing Wei army, their hearts became heavy again.
In fact, many people have lost confidence.
Emperor Zhou said: "It's not surprising that the Wei army has such morale. After all, they destroyed Daqian."
"If we, the Zhou Dynasty, can destroy a country, our morale will only be better than that of the Wei army."
"You must remember that the jackals are coming to invade our homeland. We must kill the jackals at all costs, for our homeland, for our relatives, and for our dignity!"
"Yes!" All the generals responded in unison.
They also all know that this battle is the key battle that will determine the future situation of Central Continent, or in other words, it is also the last battle.
If the Great Zhou Dynasty is victorious, it will unify Central Continent, create eternal glory, and bring peace to the country and the people.
However, if the Great Zhou Dynasty is defeated, what awaits them will be the destruction of their country and their family.
Therefore, they have no escape route.
"Changsheng, have you discovered it?" Emperor Zhou quietly sent a message to Ye Qiu and asked.
Ye Qiu shook his head and said, "I haven't found it yet."
Emperor Zhou's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom.
Ye Qiu went to the Imperial City of Wei to meet Jin Bingyun. From Jin Bingyun's words, he learned that the King of Wei was supported by the Holy Monk of Lingshan Mountain.
In addition, Jin Bingyun said that the strange army in the hands of King Wei had nothing to do with her. Therefore, Ye Qiu suspected that the strange army came from the Great Leiyin Temple.
Thinking about the fact that King Wei was able to defeat Daqian in such a short period of time, and that the strange army was invincible, Ye Qiu speculated that the strange army might be the Arhat refined by the holy monks of Lingshan Mountain using secret techniques.
I still don't know how many people there are in that surprise army?
Among the people present, only Ye Qiu had seen Arhat and fought against Arhat. The Emperor of Zhou just asked Ye Qiu to see if there were Arhats in the Wei army?
Unfortunately, Ye Qiu did not find Arhat.
Of course, this is just Ye Qiu's guess. Whether he is an Arhat or not will only be known after the King of Wei releases the strange army.
The Art of War says: Know your enemy and yourself, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
The decisive battle is about to begin, but the enemy's trump card has not been figured out yet, which makes Emperor Zhou feel a little uneasy.
Ye Qiu sent a message to comfort the Emperor of Zhou, saying: "Uncle, don't worry, we have made predictions in advance and prepared countermeasures. The balance of victory in this battle must belong to us."
"Besides, if you really can't resist it, then I'll call the master."
"I don't believe that an army of hundreds of thousands can withstand the attack of a powerful quasi-emperor."
"When the time comes, whether he is the King of Wei, the Holy Monk of Lingshan Mountain, or even that mysterious army, they will all be killed by the Master's sword."
Emperor Zhou laughed.
He knew that Ye Qiu was comforting him.
After a while, the Wei army stopped advancing and was only one mile away from Hulao Pass.
The 600,000-strong army of the Wei Dynasty was lined up neatly, like a dense swarm of ants, which made people's hearts tingle.
An old general said: "Your Majesty, are we following the original plan? The soldiers are ready and can send troops at any time."
The original plan was to wait for the Wei army to arrive and then immediately send troops to give them a head-on blow.
Don't give Wei Jun any chance to breathe!
Emperor Zhou shook his head: "Change the plan and not attack for the time being."
"Why?" the old general wondered.
Ye Qiu said from the side: "Although the Wei army has traveled a long distance, their morale is very high. If we send out troops to attack at this time, it will definitely be a fierce battle. Otherwise, we will be defeated."
The Emperor Zhou nodded and said: "What Chang Sheng said makes sense. The Wei army is coming in force. This is the time when morale is at its strongest. Let's wait for them for a while."
The old general asked: "What if the Wei army takes the lead in attacking us?"
"It's what we asked for." Emperor Zhou said: "The terrain of Hulao Pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the Wei army attacks us, it will be a good opportunity to destroy their morale."
"Very good!" The generals' eyes lit up.
Emperor Zhou said: "However, King Wei has an expert behind him to advise him, so I'm afraid he won't do this."
"But it doesn't matter, we can adjust our strategy at any time."
As soon as he finished speaking, earth-shattering shouts were heard from the Wei army.
"King!"
"King!"
"Your Majesty..."
Then, the Wei army separated on both sides to make way for a road, and then the King of Wei was seen riding a jade unicorn, a mythical beast, slowly walking out. His majestic appearance attracted all the attention.
The King of Wei wore a black robe, with a golden crown on his head and his hair tied up, exuding the domineering power of an emperor.
He rode a jade unicorn and came straight to Hulao Pass.
Arrives in an instant.
King Wei looked up at the Emperor of Zhou who was standing on the city wall, and said loudly: "Long time no see, come down and have a chat?"
