Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 150: Success

"Boom! Boom! Boom... Boom..."

As the war drums sounded, the first to explode were the many war machines deployed on the top of the south city wall.

Amidst the dense and continuous roars, dozens of large and small stones roared in the air, drawing parabolas and smashing into the densely packed Shangliang army six or seven miles away...

Don't underestimate the distance of just one or two miles. For a catapult, beyond its strongest and effective range, its power will decrease exponentially and weaken with every additional few dozen meters!
These falling stones were more powerful than attacks... The free-falling projectiles gradually lost the power of the catapults, like a spent force, relying only on their own inertia!

Relying solely on the free fall of stones, it would not be difficult for even the high-ranking soldiers, let alone military personnel, to dodge and resist them as long as they paid more attention. They could even be smashed to pieces in mid-air.

There were more than a hundred war machines on the south city wall, but only forty or fifty of them were used in the explosion, less than half of the total number. The others could not reach that far.

Even so, the explosion of these forty-five catapults was very powerful, quite intimidating, and very inspiring!
"kill!"

With deafening shouts of killing, 50,000 elite soldiers rushed towards the enemy army in front of them with their momentum like a roaring and surging wave!

The surge in power will give people the illusion of "invincibility" and the impulse of "passion". Under the chain reaction, morale will naturally be boosted and the will to fight will soar, which is more effective than the sound of a thousand drums!
This is a side effect of "Star Soul Possession"!
If the Shangliang army, now on a full-scale offensive, is a tide that drowns everything, then the Sui army, bursting with might, is a surging, roaring wave that destroys everything!

"Click..."

Xiao Ying kicked his foot, breaking the bluestone slabs used to pave the main street floor. He soared into the sky like a falcon, flew over the Sui army that was densely packed dozens of meters in front of him, and pounced on the Shangliang army that was approaching.

"Rumble..."

Without using any special skills or tricks, Xiao Ying only relied on his physical strength, holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji, and easily swept through the enemy!

The terrifying divine power stirred up a fierce gust of wind, directly blowing away many of the nearby Shangliang troops.

There is also a heavy and sharp Fang Tian Hua Ji, which can dismember corpses and break armor, break spears and swords. It can injure people with just a touch and kill them with just a touch.

Upon landing, Xiao Ying swung the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand wildly, like an enraged rhinoceros, charging forward along the wide main street...

Broken limbs and arms, blood everywhere!

Wherever Xiao Ying charged, he fiercely and bravely cleared a "bloody tunnel" several meters wide to block the Liang army on the road... At best, they were thrown flying, and at worst, they were torn into pieces, with their guns and armor broken!
In dozens of breaths, Xiao Ying rushed over a hundred meters along the main street where the Shangliang army was densely congested, before he ran out of strength and slowed down his momentum!
More than a thousand Shangliang soldiers were either killed or injured, and a shocking bloody passage of over a hundred meters was cleared out!

As powerful as a rhinoceros charging, as aggressive as a tiger entering a flock of sheep, this is the best portrayal of Xiao Ying now!

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Pausing his charge, Xiao Ying stopped charging. Instead, he swung his 10-foot-tall painted halberd wildly, its force covering an area of ​​dozens of meters like a meat grinder, blocking the Shangliang Army's charge and shocking everyone in all directions! With Xiao Ying's current combat power, and the Shangliang Army not deploying its peak combat power and heavily armored soldiers like the Tianmen Guard...

As long as Xiao Ying wanted, he could charge hundreds of meters alone... or even go straight into the enemy's territory and perform the awe-inspiring "taking the enemy's head among a million soldiers"!
But what's the point?

If King Shangliang and the enemy's high-ranking officers do not show up, even if Xiao Ying kills his way through the southern city area, he can only kill a few thousand Shangliang soldiers. Compared with the huge Shangliang army that numbers hundreds of thousands, this is not of much significance. It is better to wait for the rear army to catch up and strengthen the results of the battle by leading the troops instead of fighting alone.

Xiao Ying positioned himself as a general, not a solitary warrior. Naturally, he had to focus on the overall situation and coordinate the army, rather than just focusing on his own passion or impulsiveness.

"The phoenix dances for nine days!"

In contrast to Xiao Ying, who was charging like a rhinoceros, Dugu Feng soared into the sky like a phoenix, following closely behind Xiao Ying on the left...

Beautiful and stunning!
Wherever it passed, the Hundred Birds to Phoenix Spear was wielded like lightning, turning into light and shadow without a trace of the spear body. The Liang soldiers along the way fell and flew into the air like flowers scattered by a goddess...

The space that Dugu Feng passed through was not filled with blood, but it cleared a space no smaller than the one Xiao Ying rushed through!
This is combat experience!
This is Dugu Feng’s growth!
During the previous assault on the southern city wall, Dugu Feng only knew how to fight with all his might, aiming to kill with every shot. His goal was to kill the enemy to the greatest extent possible and minimize the pressure on his own side. It was a waste of time and effort, and his strength was depleted very quickly!
However, human resources are limited. Relying solely on Dugu Feng is actually insignificant in a battlefield of millions of people. Even if she works herself to death, she can't kill many people, and the proportion is very low.

Now Dugu Feng has become more shrewd. He only seeks to clear the space, intimidate the enemy, and influence their morale. He doesn't seek to kill them with every shot, but only to injure them. If his own soldiers follow closely, how can the enemy's wounded survive?!

Not only does it save time and effort, it also gives subsequent soldiers the opportunity to make merit and space to charge, killing two birds with one stone!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

It was not just Dugu Feng who grew. The 50,000 "elite soldiers" who had previously participated in the Battle of Nancheng quickly dispersed and spread out amid the thunderous shouts of killing. Relying on their own combat power that far exceeded that of the enemy, they took advantage of the gaps to drill through the air or climb over the eaves and walls to charge and kill the enemy.

Instead of just rushing forward in a dense and crowded manner like in the first battle, seemingly with great momentum and fearlessness of death, but in fact, there was no room for maneuver due to the crowded situation, which wasted the skyrocketing combat power!
It can be said that the 50,000 "elite soldiers" who were "possessed by the Star Soul" for the second time already showed signs of being real "elite soldiers"!

This is the biggest difference between new recruits and veterans!
It seems that the individual strength of the new and old soldiers is similar, but the effect of their group performance is several times, or even dozens of times greater!

Unlike the Shangliang Army, which was mainly composed of Tianmen Guards in the initial resistance, the main force was concentrated near the entrance of the South City Gate.

This time, the 50,000 elite soldiers of the Sui army, led by the generals, were dispersed throughout the entire South City District, frantically attacking and killing the Shangliang army who were also scattered in the streets and alleys of the South City Wall!
This is another major advantage of the Sui army!
In a comprehensive confrontation, the 50,000 elite Sui troops were certainly no match for the overwhelming force of the Shangliang army's 300,000 troops and 200,000 auxiliary troops. However, if they were dispersed, the pressure they faced would be greatly reduced, and the Sui army could still rely on their own cultivation realm and strength to far surpass the enemy and exert their full strength!
To put it simply and bluntly, 50,000 elite soldiers are suitable for street fighting, but not for head-on combat!

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The sound of the war drums turned charcoal-colored, and the thick smell of blood was so pungent that it made people nauseous.

Most of the soldiers on both sides could no longer distinguish between their own side's drum beats and drum orders. Their ears were filled with the endless echoing sounds of drums and shouts of killing!
The Shangliang army, under pressure, took more than an hour to penetrate about five miles into the southern city wall.

The counterattack of only 50,000 elite Sui troops reached the original southern city defense line in less than half an hour, killing tens of thousands of enemy troops, causing casualties to be about ten times that of the Sui army.
