The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

With Lu Yao's order issued, Han Xin quickly led 800,000 troops from the joint military camp established by the four kingdoms to resist the allied forces of Liao and Tibet.

It was called a defense, but in reality, the ordinary troops on both sides were not even in the same league.

The Liao Dynasty sent 300,000 troops, and the Tibetan Empire sent 200,000 troops, for a total of 500,000 Liao and Tibetan troops.

Han Xin led an army of 800,000, which, under normal circumstances, would have been enough to overwhelm the Liao and Tibetan kingdoms.

Unfortunately, the final outcome of the battle was not decided by these ordinary troops, but by the contest between the high-end forces of both sides.

Just like in the original novel, when Qiao Feng held the Liao emperor Yelü Hongji hostage and forced him to withdraw his troops, only the masters of both countries could determine the outcome.

A month later, the two armies were stationed on the border and faced each other, but neither launched a general offensive, and both were only conducting small-scale probing attacks.

Inside Han Xin's military camp, more than a dozen fierce generals volunteered for battle.

"General! Our army is far superior to the enemy's. Why don't we attack and break through their defenses?"

"Yes, General! As long as you give the order, our First Legion is willing to be the vanguard!"

"Screw you! The vanguard belongs to my Third Legion!"

"Nonsense! My Sixth Army Corps should be the main force in the attack!"

……

Han Xin looked at the noisy army generals below and was also very troubled.

Han Xin knew that the key to victory or defeat lay not with them, so he remained inactive, waiting for the enemy to reveal a weakness.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Han Xin roared, and everyone in the tent stopped arguing and looked at him with burning eyes.

"First Legion, lead the vanguard; Second and Third Legions, follow up. Force them back thirty miles!"

Han Xin decided to first demoralize the enemy army and probe the Liao and Tubo states to find out their true intentions.

"promise!"

The three legion commanders beamed with joy and quickly accepted the orders, while the commanders of the other legions, seeing the smug looks on the three men's faces, were filled with resentment.

Han Xin waved his hand, and everyone left the camp.

"I have witnessed Chongyan's talent in leading troops; he is truly a man of exceptional ability."

Lu Yao suddenly appeared in Han Xin's tent and praised him with a smile.

"My lord, what brings you here?"

Han Xin was slightly taken aback, and quickly came to Lu Yao's side.

"The Liao and Tubo dared to send troops, they must have had experts to assist them. I will support you, so go ahead and do your best."

Lu Yao chuckled and patted Han Xin on the shoulder.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Han Xin was overjoyed upon hearing this. With Grandmaster Lu Yao around, no matter how skilled you are, if you dare to attack a high-ranking general, you will never return.

Soon, Yang Guo led a group of innate masters to stand beside the legion commanders to prevent attacks from the opposing experts.

With no worries about the rear, Han Xin finally began to unleash his extraordinary military talent and started directing the army to attack.

a few days later.

The Liao and Fan armies, having already been driven back fifty miles by Han Xin's army, were demoralized and no match for Han Xin.

The main camp of the Liao-Tibetan allied forces.

"Bang! You incompetent fools! Useless cowards! Retreating again and again, are you trying to send the army back to Liao?"

Emperor Yelü Hongji of the Liao Dynasty was furious and kicked over the table in front of him.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! The enemy is truly fierce and numerous, and our army is unable to withstand them."

A general knelt on the ground, his expression one of extreme terror, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Get out of here!"

Yelü Hongji's expression was gloomy as he shouted loudly.

Upon hearing Yelü Hongji's words, the Liao general kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief and quickly withdrew from the tent.

"If it weren't for the fact that a major battle is imminent and killing a general is inappropriate, I would have killed this fool!"

Yelü Hongji took a deep breath and said with a cold expression.

"Your Majesty need not be angry. I never intended to rely on the army to win. In the end, we will have to take action."

A middle-aged man with a braided hairstyle and wearing a wolf-fur cloak emerged from the shadows of the tent.

What's most peculiar is that its pupils are different from ordinary people's; they are actually wolf eyes.

"Brother, I'll have to trouble you this time."

Yelü Hongji's expression changed, and he immediately showed a friendly expression.

The person who appeared in the tent was Yelü Hongji's cousin, Yelü Pofeng, a Grandmaster-level expert.

Yelü Pofeng was born into a collateral branch of the Liao royal family. He showed great martial arts talent from a young age. When he was young, he met a martial arts master on the grassland and practiced martial arts on the vast grasslands in the north of Liao.

After reaching adulthood, Yelü Pofeng traveled the world, defeating martial arts masters from the Liao Kingdom and neighboring countries, thus perfecting his martial arts skills.

He obtained the Canglang Bajue, an ancient martial art from the Liao Kingdom, by chance, and advanced to the rank of Grandmaster with his exceptional talent.

Now, he was invited by Yelü Hongji to deal with Lu Yao.

Both of them were originally members of the royal family. Although Yelü Pofeng came from a branch of the royal family, he was still well taken care of by the Liao royal family and was naturally willing to lend a helping hand.

"Lu Yao of the Xiaoyao Sect might not come to the front line, so let's catch them off guard and kill all their generals and commanders."

Yelü Hongji's expression changed, and he said fiercely.

Originally, Yelü Hongji did not intend for Yelü Pofeng to take action, as he had great confidence in the strength of his army. However, he was completely outmatched and had no choice but to reveal his trump card.

"Whatever you want, I'll just kill people. You tell me who to kill, and I'll kill them."

Yelü Pofeng remained calm; killing anyone made no difference to him.

"Alright! Shall we launch a sneak attack tonight?"

Yelü Hongji looked on with great anticipation and asked Yelü Pofeng.

"Why wait until tonight? I can make my move now."

Yelü Pofeng frowned slightly, his wolf-like eyes fixed on Yelü Hongji.

"Then I will listen to my brother. I will have the royal experts assist you."

Yelü Hongji nodded, and considering his powerful martial arts skills, he was no longer surprised.

"what ever."

Yelü Pofeng looked down on those royal experts and turned to leave.

After Yelü Pofeng left, Yelü Hongji's face immediately darkened.

If it weren't for fear of Yelü Pofeng's powerful martial arts, how could Yelü Hongji have tolerated such arrogance?

……

Soon Yelü Pofeng began to act, transforming into a pale green afterimage and rapidly approaching Han Xin's army camp.

Behind him followed royal experts who had received orders from Yelü Hongji to assassinate his high-ranking generals.

"coming."

Lu Yao, who was meditating in the military camp, opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Yelü Pofeng.

Yelü Pofeng grabbed a soldier, found out the location of Han Xin's camp, and then smashed him to pieces with a single palm strike.

They then quickly headed towards Han Xin's camp.

"There are assassins!"

"The camp has been attacked!"

Yelü Pofeng's figure was quickly spotted by the patrolling soldiers, who immediately sent out a signal.

This is also why Yelü Pofeng never intended to hide it. After all, once you reach the Grandmaster level, no amount of ordinary soldiers can stop you.

Upon receiving the signal, Han Xin stepped out of his tent and watched as Yelü Pofeng rapidly charged toward him.
