Jialing Pass.
Bibi Dong stood up high above the 100-meter-high pass, and her luxurious goose yellow robe swayed gently in the wind, making her look more noble and majestic. As the first emperor of the Martial Soul Empire, she is about to usher in the most important battle in her life. Her expression was as calm as water, and there was no sign of emotional fluctuation, but there was an occasional flash of sharp light in her deep eyes.
On both sides of her body, four old men with a deep temperament stood, all of whom were famous strong men in the Martial Soul Empire. Among them, the stinging pig Douluo and the snake spear Douluo were among them. Their eyes were cold and their heart-wrenching aura was emitting. "Report to Your Majesty, the army of the Tiandou Empire has been camped for two days, and the renovation has been basically completed. There will be some action soon." A tall and 60-year-old man respectfully reported to Bibidong. His voice was calm and powerful, and he was obviously a veteran who had been through the battlefield.
Bibidong nodded slightly, and said indifferently: "How is our army's situation?"
The old man bowed and replied, "The three armies are in high spirits, and the Soul Master Legion is ready to defeat the enemy at any time."
Bibidong looked into the distance and said lightly, "Can the news be heard from the surprise attack troops sent? They have been there for two days."
The old man shook his head, "No."
Bibidong's expression remained unchanged, and he whispered, "Continue to wait. As soon as the news is heard, report to me immediately."
"Yes." The old man responded respectfully.
At this moment, a messenger ran over quickly, his movements as fast as the wind, and he was obviously a soul master with great strength. He knelt on one knee with unconcealed excitement on his face and reported loudly: "Report - Report to Your Majesty, there is news from our surprise attack team!"
Bibidong's eyes were slightly condensed, and he glanced at the messenger, and his tone was still calm: "What are you panic? Let's talk about it in detail."
The messenger took a deep breath and tried to calm down his excitement, but his voice was still a little trembling: "Great joy, Your Majesty! The surprise attack team followed the route given by Elder Shi, and was unobstructed along the way, like Entering the uninhabited realm. They went deep into the hinterland of the enemy and successfully burned a large amount of food, grass and weapons from the enemy. Elder Shi created an extremely cold area on the important supply route of the enemy. Soul masters below the Soul Saint would be injured by the extreme ice when entering, completely blocking the enemy's plan to build a defensive supply line!"
As soon as this said, everyone beside Bibi Dong was overjoyed, and they knelt on the ground, shouting in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
"Xiaogang..."
A hint of emotion flashed in Bibidong's eyes, and the figure of that year could not help but appear in his heart. Now, his disciples have grown into strong men who can stand alone, and have even made such great contributions in this war that concerns the survival of the empire.
She suppressed the joy in her heart, her expression remained calm, and slowly said, "Tell me the order, and the entire army will be prepared to fight. At the same time, she ordered Shuiyun Pass to not fight, and to defend with all her might and not confront the Xingluo Empire head-on. Everything will be decided after I defeat the army of the Tiandou Empire."
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, their voices full of confidence and fighting spirit.
The camp of the Tiandou Empire stretches for nearly a hundred miles, and it lies fifty miles outside Jialing Pass like an ancient giant beast. In the early morning, the sound of war drums resounded through the sky like thunder, and with the low echo of the horn, the army began to assemble.
One huge square formation after another slowly emerged from the camp. Each square formation was composed of ten thousand people, and the uniform steps made the earth tremble slightly. With the issuance of a series of general orders by the Central Army, the army of the 100,000 Tiandou Empire slowly advanced forward. Those were ten heavy cavalry regiments, and they were all heavy cavalrymen that the Tiandou Empire set out this time. They were wearing heavy armor and holding spears, like a torrent of steel, with a majestic momentum. Although the speed of progress was not fast, the overwhelming sense of oppression was suffocating, as if even the earth was trembling under their iron hooves.
Surprisingly, despite the supply line being cut off, the army of the Tiandou Empire still showed amazing momentum, as if it had not been affected at all.
After ten heavy cavalry regiments, there are 4,000 soul masters gathered by the Tiandou Empire. They slowly entered the battlefield surrounded by more than 12,000 Tang family troops. From a distance, the Tang family army seems to be just a light cavalry protecting the soul master, but those who are familiar with the battlefield know that the cooperation between the light cavalry and the soul master can often exert the greatest advantage of speed and flexibility.
Immediately afterwards, ten light cavalry legions rushed out from their wings, horse hooves sounded like thunder and dust flew. In the first battle between the Tiandou Empire and the Wuhun Empire, all the cavalry were sent, and even the soul masters rode horses. The heavy cavalry is the main focus, and can attack when advancing and defend when retreating. Obviously, the Tiandou Empire wants to fight quickly.
At Jialing Pass, Bibidong looked at the enemy in the distance coldly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I know that the supply line has been cut off, so I want to fight quickly? They are all cavalry, but they have a good plan."
The ghost standing beside her whispered: "Your Majesty, why don't we continue to stick to it and use defense instead of attack. When there is a problem with the enemy's supply, we will attack with the Soul Master Legion, and the enemy will inevitably be defeated."
Bibidong shook his head slightly, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes: "The strategy of using defense instead of attack is certainly safe, but this battle is the first battle since the founding of my Wuhun Empire. If the enemy's supply line is destroyed, wouldn't the enemy underestimate it? Now our army is in full swing, and it is the best time to give the other party a headache."
As soon as she finished speaking, the soldiers around her shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!" His voice was like thunder and his morale was high.
Bibidong turned around and looked at the generals behind him, with an unquestionable majesty in his tone: "Send the order and prepare for war. The Soul Division Army is the vanguard, the heavy armor army is the central army, and the light cavalry is the two wings. In this battle, we must let the Tiandou Empire know that the majesty of the Wuhun Empire is not to be provoked!"
"Yes!" The generals responded in unison, their voices shook the earth.
From the front of Jialing Pass, four huge doors opened almost at the same time. The heavy sound of noose slowly fell along with the suspension bridge, spanning the moat that was fifty meters wide. Amid the sound of the clanging armor, a large number of heavy soldiers rushed out from Jialing Guanzhong like a tide, with a majestic momentum. Four heavy cavalry corps and four heavy infantry corps quickly formed an array, and the armor shone with a cold light in the sun. These legions gathered almost most of the heavy forces in the Wuhun Empire, and each soldier exuded a solemn atmosphere, like a moving steel fortress.
At the same time, the 200,000 troops of the Tiandou Empire stopped twenty miles away from Jialing Pass. Ten heavy cavalry corps lined up, leaving a wide path in the center. Under the strict protection of the Tang family army, more than 6,000 soul masters slowly appeared in front of the formation. Among them, the more than 2,000 soul masters belonging to the Tang Sect are almost exactly the same as those of the Tang Family Army, and are difficult to distinguish. The light cavalry spread out like swallows' wings from both sides, and took off their longbows from their backs. It was a well-trained team of archers.
On the other side, the eight legions of the Martial Soul Empire have been arranged in front of the gate. Immediately afterwards, an army of ten thousand people rushed out of the pass. They had no mounts and ran entirely on their feet, but their speed was no less than that of a galloping horse. These ten thousand people lined up in front of Jialing Pass, and all of them were embroidered with golden silk patterns, which looked particularly dazzling. The big flag behind them fluttered in the wind, and two golden characters on the flag were shining brightly - the Holy Dragon.
The soldiers of the Holy Dragon Legion all had cold expressions and looked like torch. Their steps were neat and uniform, and each step seemed to step on the enemy's heart, which was chilling. This legion is the elite army of the Martial Soul Empire. Every soldier has undergone rigorous training and is extremely strong.
Bibidong stood on the wall of Jialing Pass, staring at the Tiandou Empire army in the distance with a cold look. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she showed a sneer: "The Heaven-Dou Empire, let you see what is the real power today."
The ghost beside her whispered, "Your Majesty, the Holy Dragon Legion is ready and can attack at any time."
Bibidong nodded, with a hint of coldness in his tone: "Send the order, the Holy Dragon Legion is the vanguard, and the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry are closely behind. In this battle, we will defeat the morale of the Tiandou Empire in one fell swoop!"
"Yes!" Guimei bowed and responded, then turned around to convey the order.
After Bibidong's orders, the sound of war drums resounded through the sky like thunder. The soldiers of the Holy Dragon Legion shouted in unison, their voices shook the sky and earth: "Fight for the Empire! Fight for glory!"
Their figures were like arrows leaving the strings, quickly rushing towards the military formation of the Tiandou Empire. Although they did not have mounts, their speed was no less than that of cavalry, and they were even more flexible.
Seeing this, the heavy cavalry of the Tiandou Empire immediately formed a defensive formation to try to stop the charge of the Holy Dragon Legion. However, the soldiers of the Holy Dragon Legion were like tigers going down the mountain, unstoppable. Their attacks are accurate and rapid, and every move is full of thunder.

On the city wall, Shi Yi's eyes fell in the distance, and he felt his teacher Yu Xiaogang standing side by side with Tang San, and a complicated feeling arose in his heart. He frowned slightly, a look of indescribable flashes in his eyes, but he soon returned to peace.
The distance between the armies of both sides was getting closer. When the Tiandou Empire was only ten miles away from the army of the Wuhun Empire, the ten light cavalry legions of the Tiandou Empire suddenly started to move. Ten thousand horses galloped, their hooves sounded like thunder, and hundreds of thousands of light cavalry rushed straight toward Jialing Pass like a torrent.
On the side of the Martial Soul Empire, the two heavy infantry corps close close to the Holy Dragon Legion quickly closed, and the giant shield was raised high, forming a solid line of defense to block the front of the Holy Dragon Legion. The heavy shield shines in the sun with a cold light, like an insurmountable steel wall.
At Jialing Pass, Bibidong watched as the 100,000 light cavalry rushed towards his position in an orderly manner, frowned slightly, and murmured to himself: "Do these guys from the Tiandou Empire want to commit suicide?"
Although her research on military tactics was not in-depth, she also knew what would happen if the light cavalry attacked the heavy cavalry and the heavy infantry formations-especially when the number of the two sides was almost the same, this was no different from suicide. Even if these light cavalry attempted to attack with bows and arrows, the power of the bows and arrows was almost negligible when facing fully armed heavy cavalry and heavy infantry. What's more, the Holy Dragon Legion has not taken action yet.
Just as Bibidong was confused, the light cavalry legion of the Tiandou Empire had rushed to a place only one mile away from the position of the Wuhun Empire. However, they did not rush directly to the formation, but suddenly turned and took the bow and arrow. With the whooshing sound, countless arrows poured down towards the position of the Martial Soul Empire like raindrops.
Most arrows use projectile methods, which not only ensures range but also does not require precise aiming. Their target is 90,000 enemy troops, and no one can escape under the rain of arrows. Especially under the intentional guidance of the light cavalry, more arrows were shot in the direction of the Holy Dragon Legion. Although heavy infantry can block the frontal attack, they have no choice but to the rain of arrows falling from the sky.
After a rain of arrows, the light cavalry did not want to fight at all. They quickly turned their horse's head, slid from the flank with their extremely fast horse speed, and retreated again in the direction of the formation. The ten light cavalry legions of the Tiandou Empire showed extremely high military qualities in front of the Wuhun Empire. The 100,000 troops rush and rush, but the formation is not at all messy. When they circled for a week and returned to their original formation, the army of the Tiandou Empire had advanced five miles forward. In the dust and smoke in the sky, their actions were as fast as ghosts, as if they had completed the transfer of their positions in an instant.
Bibidong looked at all this and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. She turned to look at the general beside her, her tone was calm but with a hint of solemnity: "Is the light cavalry in our country so good?"
The general beside her showed a look of embarrassment. Most generals in the Martial Soul Empire are directly appointed by soul masters. When it comes to cultivation and soul skills, they are naturally experts, but when it comes to military strategies and tactical arrangements, they are far less proficient than the generals of the two empires of Tiandou and Xingluo.
When Bibidong saw this, his brow frowned slightly and was about to speak, but Shi Yi chuckled and stepped forward and said, "Aunt Dong, this matter is not difficult to solve. It is better to let the Fengjian Sect leader lead the Fengjian Sect disciples to seize air supremacy. When the light cavalry of the Tiandou Empire tried to shoot arrows, the Fengjian Sect disciples could intercept with long-range sword energy in the air to avoid the opponent's use of arrows to consume the soul power of our soul master army. In addition, it is recommended that you send several masters to protect the soul masters of the Fengjian Sect. When the war officially begins, the Fengjian Sect disciples can release their soul skills from a high position and disrupt the enemy formation. Then the ground soul master legion charges to clean up the mess."
When Bibidong heard this, a hint of praise flashed in his eyes and nodded slightly, "This plan is very good. The disciples of Fengjian Sect are good at fighting in the air. If they can seize air supremacy, they can indeed greatly weaken the enemy's offensive."
She turned to look at the general beside her, with a hint of majesty in her tone: "Tell the leader of Fengjian Sect to immediately lead the disciples to the air and seize air supremacy. At the same time, send Ghost and Yueguan to accompany them, and be sure to ensure the safety of Fengjian Sect disciples."
"Yes!" the general bowed and responded, then turned around to convey the order.
A moment later, the disciples of the Fengjian Sect quickly took off under the leadership of the sect leader. Their figures were as fast as the wind, and the sword energy was everywhere, an invisible barrier had been laid over the light cavalry of the Tiandou Empire.
The light cavalry of the Dou Empire fired their bows and arrows again that day, and when they tried to shoot arrows, the disciples of the Fengjian Sect took action together. Countless sharp sword energy descended from the sky, accurately intercepting arrows in mid-air. Before the rain of arrows fell, it was shattered by the sword energy and turned into debris all over the sky.
When seeing this, the light cavalry of the Tiandou Empire was suddenly in chaos. They tried to adjust the formation, but under the suppression of the disciples of the Fengjian Sect, they could not organize an effective counterattack. (This chapter ends)
