Bian Bian followed Li Banfeng to the top of the clouds, walking with worry all the way.
"Seventh Brother, I haven't been in touch with Dan Bu for many years. Even though she is my sister, she is a very cunning girl. She may not always agree with what I, her brother, say."
Li Banfeng is not very confident about his face: "Take out some brothers...
Prozhou took a deep breath and looked into the distance with a determined gaze. He knew that this battle would determine the fate of the Shang Kingdom and the life and death of all those who followed him. At this moment, his heart was filled with complex emotions, including a desire for victory and a deep worry about the consequences of failure.
"Old One, you seem to be worried." Fan Bosong stepped forward and whispered, "Although the enemy is numerous, we have made the best preparations. In addition, the peddler brought back the Dragon Abyss Sword Saint, which is a huge advantage for us."
Prozhou nodded: "You are right, but the Totem Army is obviously not a pushover. They were able to send 70,000 troops to station around Tushi, and they also hid elite troops like the Thousand Man Formation, which means they have already made plans for a long-term battle. We can't take it lightly."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the distance. A scout came running over, kneeling on one knee and reporting: "Report... A large number of enemy troops have been spotted moving ahead! They seem to be gathering towards our area!"
Prozhou frowned and quickly gave an order: "Pass the order down, everyone immediately enter combat status! How is Hongying's situation? Has she successfully attracted the attention of the enemy's main force?"
The scout replied, "According to the latest news, Hong Ying has successfully attacked a small team, but the enemy reacted very quickly, and troops from other strongholds are being rapidly reinforced. It is expected that a siege will be formed soon!"
"Good!" Prozhou said in a deep voice, "This is an opportunity. As long as the enemy is distracted, our ambush plan can be implemented smoothly. Tell Hongying to continue to contain those reinforcements. Don't let them get away easily no matter what!"
At the same time, an elite team led by Longyuan Sword Saint also rushed to the battlefield. Although this legendary figure who had lived in seclusion for many years was over fifty years old, he was still energetic, and the sword in his hand, which was shining with cold light, showed his extraordinary demeanor.
"Puluozhou," Longyuan Sword Saint clasped his fists and saluted, "I have brought several masters as you requested. They are all elites who have been carefully selected and are definitely capable of taking on any difficult task."
Prozhou bowed in return: "Thank you Sword Saint for your help! The situation is critical now, and we need you to integrate into the battle sequence as soon as possible. I suggest that you personally lead an assault team to launch an operation specifically targeting the enemy commander. Once their leader is killed, the entire Totem Army will inevitably be in chaos!"
Longyuan Sword Saint smiled slightly: "This mission is most suitable for me. But before that, I need to understand the specific deployment of the enemy forces to avoid unnecessary losses due to rash actions."
Prozhou nodded in agreement: "The 14th round is drawing a detailed terrain map and enemy distribution map, which will be given to you for reference later. In addition, I will arrange several soldiers who are familiar with the local environment as guides to assist you in completing the mission."
As both sides were preparing intensively, the sky suddenly became darker and darker, with thunder rumbling among the rolling dark clouds. A blinding flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a torrential downpour.
"It seems that God is also helping us create opportunities!" Qiao Yili said excitedly, "Rainy days will affect the enemy's marching speed and also weaken their long-range attack capabilities. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to launch a surprise attack, we will definitely achieve unexpected results!"
After thinking for a moment, Prozhou gave the order: "Everyone listen! While the rainstorm obscures your vision, all units quickly adjust their positions and make sure to complete the final deployment before dawn. Remember, this operation is related to the success or failure of the entire battle, and there must be no mistakes!"
Under the cover of night, Prozhou personally led the main force to lurk on the only way to Tushi. It was pitch black all around, with only the occasional flash of lightning illuminating the soldiers' resolute faces. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the moment that would decide their fate.
Finally, in the darkest moment before dawn, a large number of Totem Army soldiers appeared in sight. They marched forward in the rain, their steps were heavy but orderly, showing the strong discipline of this army.
"Get ready!" Prozhou shouted in a low voice. Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by every soldier.
When the Totem Army entered the preset ambush circle, Prozhou waved his hand fiercely: "Attack!"
In an instant, arrows poured down like rain, accompanied by deafening shouts of killing. The warriors who had been lying in ambush for a long time rushed out from all directions and engaged in a fierce battle with the Totem Army.
However, the battle was far more brutal than expected. Although the Totem Army was slow to move due to the heavy rain, they were well-trained and quickly stabilized their position and organized an effective counterattack.
At this moment, the assault team led by Longyuan Sword Saint quietly approached the enemy headquarters. With the cover of night, they quietly passed through the heavy defense lines and finally reached the target area.
"It's right here!" Longyuan Sword Saint pointed to a makeshift tent in front of him, "The enemy commander must be hiding inside. Brothers, follow me in!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already drawn his sword, which turned into a silver light and pierced the tent. The elite Totem Army guarding the surroundings were horrified and raised their swords to fight. However, facing the fierce sword moves of Longyuan Sword Saint, they were unable to stop him.
In just a few breaths, all the guards outside the tent were killed. Longyuan Sword Saint kicked open the tent curtain, and saw a general wearing heavy armor sitting inside, sitting upright, with a calm expression.
"Hmph, just in time!" the general sneered, "I knew you would send someone to attack. But it's not that easy to kill me!"
After saying that, he suddenly stood up, holding the sword at his waist with both hands, and a powerful momentum burst out instantly. The whole tent was shaking violently under the impact of this force, as if it could collapse at any time.
Long Yuan Sword Saint did not flinch, instead he sneered: "In that case, let me learn from your superior skills!"
As soon as the two of them fought, a shocking collision broke out. The sword energy crisscrossed, and every confrontation caused visible ripples in the surrounding space. This peak duel not only tested the martial arts skills of the two, but also was a contest of will and wisdom.
At the same time, the battle on the Pro State side also entered a white-hot stage. The Totem Army relied on its numerical advantage to continuously exert pressure, trying to break through the defense line set up by the Pro State. However, the Pro State had been prepared for this, and through flexible deployment of troops, it successfully suppressed the enemy firmly in the ambush circle.
"No, this is not a solution!" Zhao Xiaowan said anxiously, "We must find a breakthrough, otherwise we will be dragged down by them sooner or later!"
Tiannan pondered for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly said, "I remember Kou Ying mentioned a secret weapon before he died. If I'm not mistaken, that should be their real trump card!"
Prozhou's eyes lit up: "What secret weapon? Tell me!"
Tiannan explained: "It is said to be a special potion that can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of soldiers. Once used, ordinary soldiers can have strength comparable to that of Jin Xiu in a short period of time."
"So that's how it is..." Prozhou frowned and thought, "No wonder they dared to send so many troops here. However, this also means that as long as we can find and destroy these potion reserves, we can completely eliminate their advantage!"
Zhao Xiaowan immediately said, "I am willing to lead people to carry out this mission. Please believe me, I will not let you down!"
Prozhou nodded solemnly: "Okay, I approve your request. But remember, you must be careful and don't rashly go deep into the enemy's camp!"
So, Zhao Xiaowan quickly gathered a group of elite soldiers, took advantage of the cover of night to quietly go behind the Totem Army, and began to search for the traces of those secret weapons.
On the other side, Hong Ying was still struggling to contain the main force of the enemy. Although her "farmers" team was small, they successfully dragged several squads of totem troops into a quagmire-like fight with their excellent guerrilla tactics.
"Brothers, work harder! If we hold on a little longer, once the problem is resolved in Prozhou, we can get out of this unscathed!" Hong Ying shouted to boost morale.
However, as time went on, the patience of the Totem Army gradually ran out. They began to change their strategy, no longer blindly pursuing, but concentrating their firepower to fiercely bombard Hong Ying and others.
"Oh no, the enemy is going to fight to the death!" Li Banfeng hurriedly reminded, "Hurry up and disperse everyone to avoid being taken away in one wave!"
Hong Ying decisively issued an order: "Listen carefully, split into groups and fight on your own! No matter what, you must conserve your strength and reunite when the time is right!"
As the order was given, the "farmers" team, which had been closely cooperating, quickly dispersed and shuttled between the woods and rocks like ghosts, causing the Totem Army's attacks to fail repeatedly.
However, even so, the battle was still extremely fierce. Whether it was the front battlefield on Prozhou's side, Zhao Xiaowan's secret operation deep behind enemy lines, or Hong Ying's flank harassment, each place was full of unknowns and dangers.
Just when everyone thought that this war would come to a stalemate, an unexpected news broke the calm - it turned out that the Totem Army's secret weapon was not a simple potion, but a fragment of an ancient artifact!
This artifact is called "Blade of the Sky", and it is said to give the holder near-invincible power. In order to fight for it, the Totem Army paid a huge price and even sacrificed some of its core members.
After learning the truth, Prozhou realized that things were far more complicated than he had imagined. He had to make a decision in the shortest possible time, otherwise if the other party successfully activated the artifact, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Fan Bosong, contact Zhao Xiaowan immediately and tell her that the new goal is to seize the fragments of the 'Blade of the Sky'!" Prozhou ordered decisively, "Also notify the peddler and ask him to find a way to delay time and buy us more breathing space!"
Fan Bosong left in response, while Prozhou turned to look at his comrades around him: "Everyone, the next battle will be more difficult. But I believe that as long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome!"
Everyone shouted in unison, and morale was instantly high. In this decisive battle that concerns fate, everyone is writing their own legendary chapter in their own way.
