Chapter 972: Battle! Flying Tiger Marshal - Indestructible!
"I obey your orders! But..."

The sound of iron armor clanging could be heard inside the tent, and when Tan Mengjun clasped his fists, his wrist armor hit each other, flying sparks.

"The Hengzhou Army of the Duke of Zhenguo..."

He hesitated for a moment and looked at Su Ye. They were not at ease with placing the Hengzhou army behind them.

"Su will lead the army to provide support."

"But Hulu Valley is narrow, and the horses of the Hengzhou army are precious, so let's stay outside the valley and fight guerrilla warfare."

Su Ye flicked his sleeves, and the black iron masks of the three thousand White Horse Volunteers were already lined up in his mind.

Gu Changqing's eyelids twitched slightly. The Duke of Zhenguo's words were reminding everyone implicitly: the 60,000 Hengzhou troops under his command were an independent force from the beginning to the end.

"That's great. Thank you, Duke."

Gu Changqing stared at him for a long time and suddenly nodded.

At three o'clock in the night, the Daqian Dynasty's army marched towards Hulu Valley in a mighty manner like a dragon swinging its tail.

The silver armor of the Takeo Guards rippled in the moonlight, the slate-gray battle robes of the Chongyan Guards blended with the night. Only the red battle flags of the Tan Meng Army's rebellion-suppressing army fluttered like blood in the night wind.

"Duke Su, if I can't come back tomorrow..."

Inside the central army's tent, Gu Changqing carefully wrapped the Qiankun twin swords in brocade. The old general stroked the sword tassels with his scarred fingers and suddenly sighed.

"Master, you are joking."

"If you die in battle, I'm afraid the Daqian Empire will really have to change its name to the Yellow Turbans."

Su Ye was gently wiping the Chunjun sword, and his half-smiled face was reflected on the blade.

Suddenly, the shrill cry of a night owl was heard outside the tent, followed by the sound of hurried horse hooves.

"Master! Enemy traces have been discovered in Hulu Valley!"

"Yellow Turban bandit general Liang Fang led 30,000 elite troops of the Yellow Turban Army's Azure Dragon Corps to ambush on the East Cliff, while Qiao Shefei led the Yellow Turban warriors and part of the Azure Dragon Corps to guard the West Cliff!"

The messenger rolled in front of the tent, with three eagle-feather arrows stuck in his armor.

"Where's Meng Zhang?"

Gu Changqing stood up suddenly, the teacup on the desk fell over, and the tea soup curved into a yellow dragon on the sand table.

"The enemy commander's flag...appeared at the highest peak of the West Cliff!"

Su Ye's action of wiping the sword suddenly paused, and the blade of Chunjun sword vibrated like a dragon's roar.

His gaze towards the sand table suddenly became deep, as if he saw the murderous aura surging over Hulu Valley through the tent.

"It seems that Meng Zhang is determined to fight a decisive battle here."

Gu Changqing tied the two swords back to his waist, and the copper nails on the Qilin armor glowed coldly under the torch.

"Order the Wuxiong Guards to immediately change their cavalry into infantry if they encounter an ambush and advance with a shield wall. The Chongyan Guards should climb the rocks and burn the enemy's deer horns with kerosene cans. General Tan should lead the Red Armored Army from the rebellion suppression army to go straight into the valley and cut off the enemy's retreat!"

When Tan Mengjun responded, the crisp sound of swords clashing was heard outside the tent.

Su Ye opened the tent curtain and saw that the beacon fires in the night sky had connected into three red chains, illuminating the Hulu Valley as bright as day.

"Grandmaster, do you need to send someone to inform Prince Si Yan?"

He suddenly turned to Gu Changqing and said.

"No need!"

"I will personally tell Meng Zhang about this battle—"

Gu Changqing had already put on a scarlet battle robe, and two flames were burning in the old general's turbid pupils.

"What is the Great Military God?"

He held the knife in one hand, and the knife light was like a silver dragon emerging from the abyss!

The valley entrance was just around the corner. The vanguard of Wuxiong Guard collided with the cavalry of Qinglong Army. Amid the sound of iron clashing, Li Jingyuan, the commander of Wuxiong Guard, heard a familiar hideous laugh coming from the cliff.

"Damn you! You fell into my trap!"

Li Jingyuan looked expressionlessly at the torches falling like stars on the cliffs on both sides, and a sneer appeared on his lips. The central army flag was suddenly raised high, and eight black iron shields were deployed, surrounding the central army tightly.

"Send the order to the entire army!"

"Change formation—Black Python swallows the sky!"

Li Jingyuan's voice came through the shield, carrying a humming sound of metallic vibration.

In an instant, the Wuxiong Guards formed a square formation, and the Chongyan Guards climbed up the rocks to set up a dragnet, which poured into the valley like a bloody torrent.

"Do you think this old fox Gu Changqing will really get into our pockets?"

Not far from Hulu Valley, Meng Zhang stopped his horse on the west cliff, looking at the beacon fire in the valley that was gradually becoming as bright as day, and suddenly said to a burly man beside him.

"He will."

"Because he knows that if he loses this battle, Daqian's luck... will be over!"

The sturdy man was concentrating on wiping the war axe in his hand, his palms trembling slightly with excitement.

The mountain wind suddenly blew up, and Meng Zhang's cloak rolled up the wolf smoke and rushed straight into the sky.

"General, General Li asked when to light the beacon."

The personal soldiers brought Meng Zhang's black horse that could tread snow.

"Tell Cunxiao to send a signal of war when Gu Changqing's vanguard enters the third bend of Hulu Valley."

Meng Zhang jumped onto his horse, and the night wind blew up the blue dragon pattern on his bright yellow battle robe.

"In this battle, I want to let the world know that the Yellow Turban Army can not only break through cities, but also kill gods!"

Before he finished speaking, a red firework suddenly exploded in the northwest sky, revealing a hideous ghost face in the night sky.

"It seems that Si Cangqiong's 'corpse' has been sent to Gu Changqing's army, good!"

"Let's go meet this Great Qian God of War and see whether his Wuxiong Guards' iron armor is stronger or our Yellow Turban Warriors' axes are sharper!"

Meng Zhang squinted his eyes and looked at the fireworks ghost face in the night sky, then suddenly clapped his hands and laughed.

Following Meng Zhang's order, the remaining 150,000 troops beside him suddenly accelerated. The sound of horse hooves shook the ground slightly, like the beating of countless war drums.

"kill!"

At the same time, smoke rose into the sky in Hulu Valley, and the vanguards of the two armies collided violently in the narrow valley like two steel torrents.

"Ding! Liang Lin's skill Indestructible is activated!
Indestructible: The world shakes when the two hammers dance, and a stronghold stands in the midst of thousands of troops. This skill is exclusive to Flying Tiger commander Liang Lin.

Effect 5: The Eight Desolations will not fall, +1 force in combat, additional + force when defending with double hammers.

Effect 4: Thunder breaks the formation, force +1 when charging, after the double hammers hit the first target, the force of surrounding enemies is reduced by -2, and after enduring more than five attacks at the same time, the own force is additionally +.

Effect 1: Fight frantically without rest. After every ten rounds, force +50. When the physical strength is less than 1%, the hammer method turns into "crazy combo", and each attack comes with 3 point of force suppression (up to times)
Effect 3: The galaxy is hanging upside down. After jumping up, the double hammers are like the galaxy flowing back. When actively attacking, the force is +1, and 1 point of force suppression is caused to the enemy within the range. If the enemy main general is hit, the force value of all enemies will be reduced by an additional point.

Liang Lin's current basic military value is 105, the military value of his weapon, the Solitary Needle Silver Hammer, is +1, the military value of his warhorse, the Galaxy Beast, is +1, and when the skill Eight Desolations effect is activated once, the military value is +5, when the effect is activated twice, the military value is +4, and when the effect is activated four times, the military value is +3.

Liang Lin's current force value is 119! "

The lone shining silver hammer in Liang Lin's hand cut through the blood mist, and the jagged cold light of the hammer tip glowed coldly in the morning light. Before the hammer head arrived, the strong wind had already blown away the silver armor helmets of the three Wuxiong guards.

The Qinglong Legion on the cliffs on both sides pushed the rolling logs and rocks down like raindrops. The silver-armored cavalry of Wuxiong Guard huddled together at the mouth of the valley. The crossbowmen of Chongyan Guard half-knelt among the rocks, and the feathered arrows made sharp whistles when they broke through the air.

Li Jingyuan sat upright on his Red Hare horse, and the long spear in his hand deflected the rain of arrows like locusts. Sparks flew wherever the spear tip passed, and he actually cut off three crossbow arrows that were nailed into the rock wall.

"Change formation! Chain iron chains!"

This Wu Xiong Left Guard General had his hair and beard standing up, and his muscles under his armor were as strong as iron.

The three hundred heavily armored cavalrymen behind him suddenly dismounted and connected special iron chains in pairs, instantly forming a moving Great Wall of Steel.

"You bastards from the Heavy Rock Guard! Take over the mountain road for me!"

Zhao Tieshan wielded the Xuanhua axe to split the rock wall, creating a passage for the right-wing cavalry amid flying gravel. The roar of the right-wing general was so loud that the crows perched on the beams fell down one after another.
