Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 333: Survival Army vs. Bandit Suppression Army

"That's basically it. If Zheng Zha asks you for help, tell them this. Let them hold on for at least a month. After a month, we will send troops to support them."

"What's the point of just talking? It's not like we can just hold on. We need to talk about objective facts. We have to give them a way to resist the Mongol army and the Celestial Gods."

"Let Haotian take charge of important tasks, such as defending a city wall by himself. He has completed countless tasks for official agencies and is trustworthy. In addition, I will have Zhu Wen find the meteorite that passed over Xiangyang Prefecture this month. Once confirmed, I will immediately notify Lingdian."

Listening to Chu Xuan's calm voice, Cheng Xiao felt a growing sense of strangeness in his heart.

What Chu Xuan said was absolutely right, but why did he always feel like something was wrong?

Cheng Xiao pondered for a moment and asked Chu Xuan, "Is Haotian that strong? If so, why not teach him the correct use of telekinesis and give him a few Gauss sniper rifles?"

"...Okay," Chu Xuan's voice seemed to pause for a second before he agreed to Cheng Xiao's proposal, "I'll send a batch of Gauss sniper rifles over."

"Oh, there's one more thing. The Seventh Magic Bullet at Zero Point has already been fired six times. The next one will be fired at someone the shooter values. It can't be used again, right?"

Cheng Xiao was a little worried. Although the power of the Seventh Magic Bullet was very strong, the side effect was too dangerous.

If he shoots again, I'm afraid that even Zero Point's magic bullet shooter skills will not be able to control the magic bullet.

Chu Xuan said calmly, "Don't worry. The most important person at Zero Point is in the main divine space. I don't think a B-level skill can get from the horror movie world to the main divine space. As for the others, when the time comes to use magic bullets, they won't be able to care so much, right?"

"...No problem. I'll die first. The imperial army is still waiting for me."

After a long silence, Cheng Xiao hung up the communicator.

He always felt that there were many problems, but, forget it, he just needed to follow the instructions, Chu Xuan would not make any mistakes.

A hundred meters outside the city gate, the soldiers had already dug a ditch to deal with the imperial army that might arrive at any time.

Upon receiving the news that the imperial army was invading, a group of surviving soldiers jumped into the ravine, set up machine guns, and pointed the muzzles in the direction of the invading army.

As the ground shook, smoke and dust billowed in the distance, and a huge army approached Nanhai County, led by four generals, each of whom was extremely powerful.

The imperial army did not set up camp, as if intending to capture Nanhai County in one fell swoop. They rushed directly towards the city gate and stopped only when they were five hundred meters away.

The leading general rode forward, cleared his throat, and was about to challenge the Nanhai County Survival Army when the soldiers shouted in unison, "Huo De is dead, the Buddha is alive, the year is Jiachen, and the world is blessed. Brothers across the way, the emperor is licentious, the eunuchs are oppressive and misrule the country, and the officials are incompetent, causing the people to suffer. The Zhao Song Dynasty has lost the Mandate of Heaven. Why don't you surrender to our Survival Army? The Buddha is so powerful that he has bestowed millions of dan of grain, already feeding thirty-one counties. As long as the Buddha governs, everyone will have no worries about food and clothing."

Jiagu Zongbi could never have imagined that before he even challenged the bandits, they would surrender to him.

"What do you mean by rebelling against Tiangang? Are the bandits trying to recruit the imperial army?"

Jiagu Zongbi was so angry that he laughed.

He laughed, but the 30,000 soldiers in the army that was suppressing the rebellion could not laugh.

The rebellion was suppressed by more than one army, and the Survival Army ruled over more than one county. The Survival Army could conjure food from thin air, regenerate severed limbs, restore lives, transform earth into rivers, and transmute stone into gold... These miracles had spread throughout the sixteen regions of the Song Dynasty, through the defeated rebel soldiers who had been released by the Survival Army, as well as the people of the counties under its rule.

Although they were not ordinary people living in poverty, they could feel firsthand how much the quality of life had declined, as they knew how extravagant the Song emperor was and how incompetent the officials were.

Earlier, many soldiers followed their colleagues who were released by the Survival Army, rebelled against the Song Dynasty army, and defected to the counties controlled by the Survival Army.

Many who failed to escape were caught and beheaded in public to serve as a warning to other soldiers. The soldiers' benefits were also improved to suppress their thoughts of defecting.

Now that they had arrived in Nanhai County and heard the calls for surrender from the opposite side, tens of thousands of soldiers began to think of rebellion again.

The four brothers Jiagu Zongbi, Jiagu Congzhong, Jiagu Yinglei and Jiagu Zhenting did not understand the thoughts of the lower-level soldiers, and were furious about the surrender of the Living Army.

Too lazy to continue challenging, Jiagu Congzhong raised his Zhangba Snake Spear and angrily gave the order: "Archers, form up!"

Twenty thousand archers moved nimbly among the soldiers, forming a battle formation with the front of the army and the shield soldiers in the back.

The archers drew their bows and pointed their arrows diagonally towards the city gate, their eyes sharp. Invisible power gathered towards each archer's arrow, frightening everyone who saw it. Even Cheng Xiao felt the danger.

"A battle formation? That's ridiculous! Why would something like this exist? Even if it's meant to prevent martial arts masters from changing history, this is overkill."

This was not the first time that Cheng Xiao faced a battle formation, but every time he saw the collective strength of the battle formation, he would be filled with emotion.

If such a formation were to be passed down seven hundred years later, which country in the world would be able to compete with China, which has the largest population in the world?
The soldiers of the Survival Army did not dare to be careless. They divided two thousand people into two groups and formed a battle formation with shields. The concentrated strength formed a translucent protective shield, standing in the air at a 45-degree angle.

"Fire arrows!"

At Jiagu Congzhong's command, the archers all released their bowstrings.

In an instant, the cold light of the flashing arrows tore through the atmosphere, and dense arrows crossed a distance of more than 500 meters like a torrential rain and fell on the survival army.

“Ding-dang-dang-dang-dang—!”

The sound of fierce collisions continued, and arrows bombarded the protective shield with the momentum of a rocket launcher. The terrifying power of the rain of arrows made the protective shield shaky, and the turbulent ripples spread on the shield surface. In the center of the ripples, the sharp arrowheads broke into tiny holes, and it looked as if it would collapse soon.

However, the survival army stationed in Nanhai County is no pushover. With the combined power of three levels of Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra per person, they will not be easily damaged even if they are hit by a point-to-point attack.

The 20,000 archers of the rebellion suppression army fired in four sections, back and forth five times. The continuous rain of arrows covered the surviving army. Jiagu Zongbi also took advantage of the situation and gave orders.

"Cavalry, deploy and charge!"

As the command flag waved, five thousand cavalrymen galloped towards Nanhai County, with heavy cavalry in the front and light cavalry on both wings. The elite troops each held swords and spears, and the momentum of the charge was like a sweeping storm, as if it was going to engulf Nanhai County.
