The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"General Xie, there's no point in saying more!"

"If you can break my Vermilion Bird Battle Formation today, then everything will be fine!"

"If you say you can't break my Vermilion Bird Battle Formation, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Standing atop the city wall, Jiang Ruyi held a halberd and spoke with a chilling aura.

As one of the top experts among the younger generation of the Jiang family, his strength has even surpassed that of Jiang Yue, the head of the Jiang family, making him the second most powerful figure in the Jiang family after the patriarch. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the garrison commander of Ailao Pass, in charge of 50,000 Yizhou troops.

In addition, he was a high-ranking officer in the Yizhou army, second only to Zheng Min, the governor of Yizhou.

He decisively defeated Cao Rong, the general of the Yizhou army, and gathered 70,000 Yizhou soldiers. These 70,000 Yizhou soldiers have now been incorporated into his own Yizhou army. Together with the original 50,000 Yizhou soldiers, that makes a total of 120,000 troops!

Moreover, he now commands 25,000 county soldiers in Yizhou.

With these 25,000 county soldiers joining in, that makes 145,000 men, nearly 150,000 troops!

With this army of just one number forming the Vermilion Bird Battle Formation, even if Xie Xuan is known as the Spear Immortal and is the deputy general of the Beijing Garrison, he is still not afraid!

After all, Xie Xuan only led 100,000 soldiers in the Beijing garrison!

Even though the general cultivation level of the soldiers in the capital garrison was higher than that of the soldiers in the Yizhou army under his command, he still had the courage to fight!

This battle is a fight to the death!

Not bad.

The county soldiers also knew the Vermilion Bird Battle Formation, not just the Black Tortoise Battle Formation.

After all, in places like border states, a major war of invasion by foreign tribes could break out at any time, and the county troops could be mobilized by the governor of a state to fight on the border at any time.

Naturally, it is necessary to practice the Vermilion Bird Battle Formation.

"it is good!"

"Then I'll give you a chance!"

Xie Xuan sneered and said, "Let me see what kind of confidence you have that you dare to say such a thing in front of me!"

"Vermilion Bird Battle Formation, Kill!"

Jiang Ruyi raised the Vermilion Bird Battle Formation in her hand and shouted with overwhelming killing intent.

Boom!

In an instant, the nearly 150,000-strong army was united as one, with Jiang Ruyi at its core, transforming into an enormous Vermilion Bird surrounded by flames, as if it would burn the heavens and earth to ashes.

This is the Vermilion Bird Battle Formation!

After transforming into the Vermilion Bird, it was as if the true Vermilion Bird divine beast had descended to earth!

It is even enough to unleash the innate divine power of the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast!

After the Vermilion Bird appeared, it charged straight at Xie Xuan, giving him no chance to prepare.

"White Tiger Battle Formation, activate!"

Xie Xuan said with a calm expression.

Boom!

In an instant, an enormous white tiger divine beast appeared between heaven and earth.

"Suzaku Burning the Sky!"

The Vermilion Bird divine beast roared to the sky, and an incomparably terrifying Vermilion Bird divine fire swept towards the White Tiger divine beast.

"Geng Metal White Tiger Divine Spear!"

The White Tiger Divine Beast vanished into the world like a whirlwind, dodging the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast's Vermilion Bird Divine Fire. It seemed to transform into a divine spear that blotted out the sky, descending from the heavens and charging towards the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast.

The Vermilion Bird possesses the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, while the White Tiger controls the Geng Metal Qi.

Geng metal represents the energy of the White Tiger in the west, which governs military campaigns and killings, and is naturally imbued with a chilling aura.

Seeing the White Tiger Divine Beast transform into a divine spear that blots out the sky, the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast also transformed into a ball of Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, meeting it head-on without backing down.

Rumble!

The entire world seemed about to shatter!

Li Jingtian and the others stood outside the city of Yuejun County, watching this scene with solemn expressions.

Xie Xuan must win this battle no matter what.

If Xie Xuan loses, it means that the entire Jing garrison has been defeated in Yuejun County.

This will have an enormous impact on the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

Those with ulterior motives will surely rise up in rebellion. If the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot suppress the rebels in a short time, the demon and barbarian races will definitely take the opportunity to invade the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Great Zhou Dynasty will surely suffer devastation and rivers of blood!

However, they still had some confidence in Xie Xuan.

No matter how you look at it, the White Tiger divine beast's aura is far more powerful than that of the Vermilion Bird divine beast.

Battle formations are not just about numbers.

It also depends on the elite status of the army and the cultivation level of the generals.

In terms of military strength, the Yizhou Army was already the elite among the elite forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a seasoned and battle-hardened force.

But how could they compare to the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty's capital garrison?

This is one of the most elite armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a peerless and ferocious force second only to the Imperial Guard!

The flames scattered everywhere, only to be extinguished by the spear, leaving a terrifying blood hole on the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast's body.

"Destroy!"

Xie Xuan's voice rang out from the mouth of the White Tiger Divine Beast. He drew his spear and slammed it down hard on the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast.

Boom!

The Vermilion Bird Divine Beast shattered instantly!

Tens of thousands of soldiers from Yizhou and the county troops fell from the shattered Vermilion Bird divine beast like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

It was also filled with boundless blood mist!

This boundless blood mist was the result of a spear thrust piercing through the Yizhou army soldiers and county soldiers, which were also smashed to pieces by Xie Xuan's white tiger divine beast form.

Even the soldiers of Yizhou and the county troops who were not killed were all listless and looked extremely tired.

"Won!"

Seeing this, Li Jingtian said with a relieved expression.

Ximen Jue and the others breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and revealed a smile.

Swish!

The white tiger divine beast rode the wind and landed in its original position, transforming once again into a 100,000-strong capital garrison.

Swish!Swish!

Two figures emerged from the shattered Vermilion Bird divine beast.

The two figures were Jiang Ruyi and Qin Baichuan.

Jiang Ruyi's cultivation level had reached the peak of the fifth level of the Celestial Realm. Although as the commander-in-chief, he was injured when the Vermilion Bird Battle Formation was broken, he was still able to hold on.

Although Qin Baichuan had not yet reached the Celestial Realm, but was only at the peak of the seventh level of the Immortal Ascension Realm, he was not the commander-in-chief, and with his current strength, he was already capable of protecting himself.

"Anyone who participates in the rebellion shall be executed without mercy!"

"We will not accept a single surrendered soldier!"

Xie Xuan said coldly.

After saying that, he was already holding a long spear and charged towards Jiang Ruyi and Qin Baichuan.

"kill!"

One hundred thousand soldiers of the capital garrison shouted and charged toward the remaining soldiers of Yizhou and Yizhou County with murderous intent.

Seeing Xie Xuan charging towards him, Jiang Ruyi's expression changed slightly, and his pupils contracted. However, he gritted his teeth, held his halberd, and went to meet him.

boom!

A deafening roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth!

With a single shot, Jiang Ruyi was reduced to dust by Xie Xuan's spear!

"Retreat! Everyone retreat..."

Qin Baichuan witnessed all of this, his face filled with extreme terror, and he shouted loudly.

His figure had already sped away into the distance like a thunderclap.

"Want to leave? Did you even ask me, the general?"

A murderous glint flashed in Xie Xuan's eyes, and he took off chasing after Qin Baichuan.
