Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 837: Chapter 838: Training Soldiers by Borrowing Enemies! (1 more update)

Seeing this troop, Ling Feng felt a slight relief in his heart. Although this troop has considerable destructive power, it’s still just a test. If Wu Kui disregards everything and gathers the entire army to attack, he would inevitably be routed.

”The whole army, continue to shrink!”

Ling Feng issued the order, shortening the battle line as much as possible, greatly limiting those Beast Cavalry charges and minimizing losses.

A YingYang Soaring Horn sounded, and the five million troops of the Tianyang Empire immediately contracted inward, actively avoiding the aggressive Heavy Armored Beast Cavalry. These Beast Cavalry come and go like the wind and cannot be resisted head-on.

Due to a mistake in deploying troops, Ling Feng’s elite Earth Dragon Cavalry was surrounded in the center and had no time to be deployed out.

This is the importance of array deployment; a single mistake can lead to digging one’s own grave.

”Kill—”

Three thousand Beast Cavalry charged like wolves into Ling Feng’s left-wing camp, causing chaos and destruction wherever they passed.

These Beast Cavalry were not greedy for merit or reckless, attacking and retreating quickly, which was really troublesome.

Ling Feng still did not order a pursuit. After tallying the losses, he found that they had lost over five thousand soldiers this time, a number that pained him slightly, but compared to the five million-strong army, it was still within an acceptable range.

Moreover, the truly elite troops remained unscathed.

In contrast, during the chaotic charge and slaughter just now, Wu Kui’s Heavy Armored Beast Cavalry suffered nearly a hundred casualties.

Wu Kui’s troops continued to assemble on the high slope, watching Ling Feng’s camp. Seeing that he still wasn’t pursuing, he waved the command flag and sent out another three thousand Beast Cavalry to continue the raid.

”Let’s see how long you can endure!” Wu Kui snorted coldly. His purpose was simple: you don’t come out, I’ll harass you until you can’t stand it and have to come out. Otherwise, watch your forces be slowly eaten away.

Once, twice, three times...

The charges by the Beast Cavalry waves continued, and during Wu Kui’s relentless assaults, Ling Feng slowly accumulated experience, becoming increasingly adept at controlling troops.

During these repeated raids, the losses in Ling Feng’s camp had reached over thirty thousand!

”Attack!”

Once again, three thousand elite Beast Cavalry charged into Ling Feng’s camp, slaughtering left and right. At that moment, a dense rain of arrows was shot from deep within Ling Feng’s camp, the range so far it reached the high slope where Wu Kui stood.

Several Feathered Arrows penetrated the defensive Shield Formation in front of Wu Kui and directly pierced through the neck of a deputy general beside Wu Kui.

The deputy general let out a miserable scream and fell headlong from his horse.

It was indeed the Breaking God Crossbow formation!

This tactic Ling Feng learned from Sun Gongming before.

The Breaking God Crossbow, whether in the Tianyang Empire or the Sky White Empire, can work wonders in long-range combat.

”Something’s wrong!”

At the moment the deputy general died, Wu Kui’s mind shook, suddenly feeling uneasy, and he immediately ordered the Beast Cavalry to retreat.

”Very wrong!”

Standing atop the high slope on his Flame Warhorse, Wu Kui felt the cold wind clear his mind.

”The first raid, killed five thousand; the second, killed four thousand five hundred; the third, three thousand... The most recent one killed less than a thousand and our losses reached two hundred!”

Wu Kui was stunned; the next moment, a flash of anger appeared in his heart, ”This guy is obviously using me to familiarize himself with troop deployment techniques!”

”Damn, damn!”

Wu Kui regretted it somewhat; now, judging from Ling Feng’s level of troops manipulation and deployment, he had evidently matured.

Looking down from the high slope, Wu Kui saw the four million-plus Tianyang Empire troops neatly divided into five phalanxes, east, south, west, north, and center, with millions of soldiers waving flags and exuding an imposing presence that formed a black cloud on the plain.

Elite troops, these are truly elite troops!

”Damn it, I fell into a trap! This fellow has no fallback plan at all!”

Wu Kui was infuriated, beating his foot and chest; now, there was no chance to crush the opponent because now Ling Feng was almost a ”veteran” with nearly the same level as him.

This guy’s learning ability was really terrifying!

”Thank you, General Wu, for training my troops!”

In Ling Feng’s camp, millions of soldiers roared simultaneously, their voice deafening, turning Wu Kui’s face green with clenched fists. His failure was due to being overly suspicious.

Soon, Wu Kui calmed down. Granted, Ling Feng knew how to control millions of soldiers, so what?

Could this boy be more experienced than himself?

After all, he had over twenty years of experience in military campaigns, whereas Ling Feng was just talking on paper!

”Kill! Attack!”

Wu Kui waved the command flag, three thousand Heavy Armored Beast Cavalry charged again, followed by another elite unit from the Sky White Army, the Silver Winged Griffin Army.

Of course, the strength of these Silver Winged Griffins is approximately at the Fourth-rank Demon level, so their size was much smaller than Sun Gongming’s Silver Winged Griffins. However, this size is more adapted for group combat.

The Silver Winged Griffin Army, holding the advantage in air, combined with its speed, under the cover of Heavy Armored Cavalry, acted like phantoms, fully utilizing its speed advantage to charge and slaughter, reaping lives with each attack.

”Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

This time, Ling Feng finally launched a counterattack, shooting countless arrows. These were Tianyang Empire’s Heavy Crossbowmen, with a long range and strong penetration, still unable to be completely blocked by the Sky White Army’s Heavy Armor Soldiers with their exceptionally hard armor.

”Ah!”

The cries of pain rose, Wu Kui’s batch of Heavy Armored Beast Cavalry suffered losses for the first time, with casualties exceeding five hundred!

At this moment, both sides’ infantry and light cavalry, alongside Crossbowmen, began close combat. Although Wu Kui’s experience surpassed Ling Feng’s significantly, under the army’s numerical suppression, both sides were temporarily in a balanced situation.

Ling Feng consistently absorbed experience from Wu Kui’s command and dispatch, his growth can be described as skyrocketing.

”Retreat!”

Wu Kui decisively made the decision; most of his troops were still ambushed in various natural barriers, and the extracted forces weren’t many. Continuing the fight would inevitably lead to the annihilation of his elite Heavy Armored Beast Cavalry.

Seeing Wu Kui retreating, Ling Feng still did not pursue. The opponent still had a large army that hadn’t emerged, and without visibility, they could easily fall into an ambush. Wu Kui, being a veteran general, surely left preparations.

”Return defense, continue to train troops!” Ling Feng ordered all forces to retract back to the camp.

”Interesting, this competition has only just begun.”

Ling Feng touched his nose, a flash of wisdom appeared in his eyes...
