Yang Cheng trusted Zhang Liang's wisdom and strategies.
Moreover, strictly speaking, Yang Cheng did lead a large army in the Great Zhou world and waged wars of annihilation.
Although he wasn't the commander in that battle, he had at least seen how things worked, and Zhang Liang's plan was sound.
Outnumbered by the Qin army, their only option was to carry out a decapitation strike and assassinate Ying Tao. Once the Qin army's commander was dead, they would collapse without a leader.
So Zhang Liang was also gambling, betting that Yang Cheng's strength was enough to break through the entire Qin army's central command tent.
Led by Yang Ben, the Mohists and the cultivators previously under Zhang Liang headed straight for the western flank of the Qin army, deploying various Mohist defensive mechanisms to begin blocking the Qin army on the west side.
Although they numbered less than a thousand, the Mo family's defensive mechanisms were extremely powerful and lethal, temporarily halting the advance of tens of thousands of Qin soldiers and instantly dividing the circular battlefield.
In the central command tent of the Qin army, Ying Tao, sitting on the high platform, let out a soft exclamation.
"Where did this traitor come from? There are even people from the Mo family among them."
But do they really think such a small number of people can influence the course of the battle?
The central army has dispatched 20,000 troops to crush them and end the battle as quickly as possible!
Twenty thousand Qin soldiers guarding the central command tent charged towards Yang Ben and his men. At the same time, Yang Cheng led a portion of the Shui family's elite troops directly into the Qin army's ranks.
When the first Qin general saw Yang Cheng and his thousand elite Shui troops, he immediately sneered, pointed his halberd at Yang Cheng, and shouted, "Charge!"
In a battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people, what role can a thousand people play? It's laughable!
Especially since these are thousands of infantrymen, unlike cavalry who can move like the wind and lightning and quickly cut through an entire army.
Yang Cheng slashed down with his three-pointed, double-edged sword. The sharp, cold blade swept across dozens of feet, splitting mountains in its wake. People and horses fell to the ground, and a huge crack covered with severed limbs instantly appeared before everyone's eyes.
The entire Qin army formation fell into silence.
However, the quality of the Qin army was far superior to that of those rabble.
The Qin general showed no fear whatsoever. His body was instantly enveloped in a layer of black demonic energy as he roared and charged toward Yang Cheng.
As the horse leaped into the air, the Qin general landed directly from the sky, his halberd brimming with powerful black demonic energy, which suddenly erupted!
Yang Cheng swung his three-pointed double-edged sword upwards, unleashing a burst of blood energy and spreading bloodlust.
The powerful and sharp blade tore through the Qin general's halberd, cleaving him in two!
The Qin army that appeared from the left, right, and rear had completely surrounded Yang Cheng and his men.
However, the Shui family members were all cultivators, and their individual combat strength far surpassed that of the Qin army's elite soldiers, so they were unable to break through for the time being.

At this moment, Yang Cheng was like a sharp knife, piercing directly into the heart of the entire Qin army camp!
Meanwhile, Zhang Liang was receiving remote support from the rear, along with the sorcerers from the Shui family.
He would help Yang Ben and the others relieve some of the pressure, and then he would help Yang Cheng clear out the enemies behind them.
The thousands of men were divided into three waves, forming a triangle that firmly embedded themselves in the Qin army's position, completely disrupting their offensive strategy.
However, as Yang Cheng got closer and closer to Ying Tao's central command tent, Zhang Liang was able to provide less and less support.
Therefore, Zhang Liang's plan was a test of Yang Cheng's strength.
If Yang Cheng has the strength to break through the entire central army camp and behead Ying Tao, then they will have won this battle.
At this moment, Ying Tao, standing on the high platform, saw another group of people rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed. Ying Tao frowned immediately: "Who are these people? How come so many powerful small groups of enemies have suddenly appeared? What are the scouts doing?"
Ying Tao's subordinate cautiously said, "The enemy is very strong; they must have cleared out the scouts on the perimeter beforehand."
"My lord, perhaps we should leave this place first and let others take over."
Ying Tao glanced at him and said fiercely, "Are you brainless or heartless?"
As the commander-in-chief, what if moving the central command tent affects the morale of the troops?
I have 250,000 troops here, but they are being chased around by a few thousand people. Where do you want me to put my face?
"Send Wei Zun to twist that guy's head off!"
"Wei Zun, heed my command!"
A deafening roar came from below the platform.
A burly man, over two meters tall, strode over.
The burly man was like a ferocious beast, his entire body shrouded in a layer of black armor, with only his two red eyes showing.
The heavy armor was so heavy that every step Wei Zun took left a deep footprint in the ground.
His own size, coupled with his heavy armor, meant that even the strongest horses in the Qin army couldn't carry him. They had to find a chariot pulled by four horses to move Wei Zun.
The massive chariot, carrying the burly man and a squad of elite heavy cavalry, charged straight toward Yang Cheng. The powerful impact was enough to draw attention, and even the surrounding Qin soldiers dodged away at top speed.
On the chariot, Wei Zun swung two huge iron hammers. As the hammers spun, they created a huge storm that was dozens of feet long. The storm even shattered the chariot and horses beneath him and crashed down on Yang Cheng!
