Cao Mengda announced to all directions on the military review platform, ordered iron-clad red horses to be the vanguard, and appointed sixteen generals as pioneers, each leading five thousand cavalrymen to march straight to Yangzhou Prefecture along sixteen official roads.
Afterwards, an army of 130,000 came slowly, and the mountain passes and city gates were wide open to welcome them, without any resistance or hindrance.
Finally, they reached Yangzhou Prefecture unhindered. All the cities along the way were quickly captured by Cao Mengda's army, and a lot of territories were annexed.
Now, all that’s left is to capture this last city, and Cao Mengda will be able to move into Yangzhou Prefecture and become the King of Jiangnan.
Looking at the more than 100,000 troops lined up in all directions outside Yangzhou Prefecture, with murderous aura and solemn momentum overwhelming, many new recruits felt their legs and feet go weak, their mouths dry, and their hearts beat fast when they saw this grand scene.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and the commander-in-chief should not be exposed in front of the battle, so as to avoid being attacked and killed by archery masters hiding in the dark, which would be an unexpected disaster.
On the battlefield today, any normal person would know that Cao Mengda has a 100% chance of winning. Even if the Sanhuangs fight until rivers of blood flow, they will probably never be a match for Cao's army.
If Cao Mengda still wants to go to the front line, it would be completely unnecessary.
Then an old general rode up to the front of the army and spoke on Cao Mengda's behalf. He pointed his whip at the walls of Yangzhou and shouted, "Our army has arrived in person, with strong soldiers and horses. Why don't you open the city gates and surrender to General Cao to save your life? If you delay any longer, it will be too late to regret it."
This man was full of energy and roared like thunder. His words were heard in an instant, so clearly that the Sanhuang soldiers on the city wall could hear them.
Among these soldiers, many of them had some ulterior motives. They looked around with their eyes rolling, and no one knew what they were thinking.
But at this moment, a cold light suddenly shot out from Yangzhou Prefecture and flew straight towards the old general who was shouting.
Although the opponent was a martial artist, he still couldn't block or avoid this cold light. He was instantly pierced through the eyebrows by a flying knife, and then continued to shoot through the seventeen soldiers behind him. Even if he was wearing armor, it was of no use to him, like paper.
The flying knife was as fast as lightning, and it flashed for a moment. When the old general's body fell to the ground, Cao Mengda's army suddenly burst into an uproar, expressing shock and anger.
Cao Mengda, standing in the distance, saw this scene and could no longer bear to watch it. He immediately shouted, "Send out the troops!"
Immediately, the soldiers nearby waved the flags in their hands, and the flag with the word "Cao" printed on it kept waving, which invisibly conveyed Cao Mengda's order.
Woo! Woo! Woo!
The dull horn of the expedition sounded suddenly, and in an instant all the soldiers rushed towards the city wall of Yangzhou Prefecture.
Among them were many main attackers carrying ladders and battering rams.
Logically speaking, under normal circumstances, when Cao's army attacked, the defenders of Yangzhou Prefecture resisted with kerosene, rolling stones, and rain of arrows.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from Yangzhou Prefecture and landed steadily on the ground just as the army approached the city wall of Yangzhou Prefecture.
There was only one person, holding a knife.
Qin Yuesheng calmly put the throat restraint on his neck and said directly to the front: "Danger!"
Suddenly, a wave of sound swept out, and in the sound wave, a large number of various dead and strange beasts were vaguely visible, like guiding messengers coming from the underworld.
Wherever the sound spread, Cao's soldiers collapsed and turned to ash. Their faces fluttered to the ground like torn paper.
In the end, the flesh and blood disappeared, leaving only a broken skeleton falling on the ground.
Three thousand soldiers died in an instant.
No one expected this to happen. With just a shout, one person could make a large group of soldiers disappear in an instant.
The sudden appearance of such a large open space naturally caused the other Cao soldiers nearby to be terrified, so much so that they subconsciously stopped.
However, in this case, the soldiers in the rear who were unaware of the situation failed to stop in time, and inevitably staged a human pyramid on the spot. I am afraid that because of this chaos, no one knows how many people will be killed or injured in the end.
The Cao army soldiers in other places had no idea what was happening here and continued to charge towards Yangzhou Prefecture. Although Qin Yuesheng had the courage to fight against thousands of troops, he could not take care of too many things at the same time.
He immediately drew out the Heavenly Fire Sword behind him and rushed towards the group of soldiers in front of him like the God of Fire descending to earth. He broke into the crowd and started to strangle them.
No ordinary person could be a match for the Heavenly Fire Divine Sword. There were wailing sounds everywhere on the battlefield. The Cao army soldiers were either cut in half by Qin Yuesheng's internal force transformed into sword energy, or burned to ashes by the flames of the Heavenly Fire Divine Sword.
The flames shot up into the sky, and the situation immediately attracted the attention of the White Lotus Sect masters in Cao's army. Soon, three people came with weapons, including a spear, a halberd, and a hammer.
Seeing white circles appearing behind these three people, all of them were masters of internal force. Qin Yuesheng's eyes lit up instantly. He immediately gave up the boring Wushuang mowing and went straight towards the three people.
"How dare you!" Seeing that Qin Yuesheng did not retreat but advanced, as if he was going to fight three alone, the internal force master holding the hammer shouted and immediately smashed the hammer at Qin Yuesheng.
The hammer's powerful force knocked down the target, but Qin Yuesheng remained motionless like a mountain and slashed out with his backhand.
Bang!
The flaming sword energy and the hammer energy collided. Those who were good at using hammers were all people with extraordinary strength, but in front of Qin Yuesheng, comparing strength was a joke.
In just a blink of an eye, the man's hammer energy dissipated directly, and the Heavenly Fire Divine Sword hit the iron hammer in the opponent's hand, and the iron hammer broke with a sound, unable to withstand the sharpness of the Heavenly Fire Divine Sword at all.
