Chapter 399 The Great Battle Begins (3)
The two armies clashed.
The real melee combat has begun.
However, as soon as the two sides made contact, the Immortal Vein suffered another large number of casualties.
After all, the soldiers were well-trained and worked together seamlessly.
On the other side was a group of scattered soldiers, who were not even in the same league.
Moreover, it's clear that the Immortal Vein doesn't have a capable leader.
Under Qi Ye's command, they were unable to break through the Qin Dynasty's defenses.
In addition, the attacks from the light cavalry units on the flanks have caused many of the Immortal Vein soldiers to begin to consider retreating.
If they continue fighting like this, they don't know when they will be able to break through the enemy's defenses.
Even if they break through, can they really defeat their opponent?
Not only that, but now the armies of the four ancient clans have joined the battlefield, making their hope even more bleak.
Qi Ye also noticed the state of the Immortal Vein Army.
This was their first battle; how could they possibly allow the Immortal Vein to retreat so easily?
He then gave the order, and the front line of defense instantly split into several square formations, creating numerous gaps.
The Immortal Army believed that the Qin Dynasty was about to collapse.
They charged directly into the army.
But what they didn't know was that this was the real trap; once they entered, there was no chance of them getting out alive.
After all, the best way to break through such a military formation is to break into it step by step without actually entering it.
Once inside, that's when its true power is revealed.
Qin Wu revealed a cold smile in the void.
If the Immortal Vein had continued its frontal assault, it would have only had to pay a small price to break through their defenses. However, now that they have charged directly into the army, the price they have to pay is far more than that.
It could cost dozens of times more; it all depends on whether they can see the situation clearly and decisively withdraw their troops.
Another point is when to withdraw the troops. Once the withdrawal is complete, don't expect to leave so easily.
However, apart from the people of the Qin Dynasty, no one knows what will happen next.
After all, the real deciding factor in their previous battles was the battle between the strong, that is, the battle between those at or above the True Immortal Realm.
In particular, the outcome of a war is most crucial when it comes to the battles between Immortal Generals.
Therefore, they did not care about the casualties of the Land Immortal Realm army.
Of course, that was before the casualties reached a point where they were moved. If the casualties were too great, they would feel the pain.
After all, to cultivate a True Immortal or Immortal General, one needs countless Land Immortals to train them, and among them are many geniuses from various sects.
They are all promising talents destined for the future of the True Immortal Realm.
If true immortals and immortal generals are their mainstay, then terrestrial immortals are their foundation.
If the foundation is damaged, it will be a huge loss for them.
This is also why they were able to send out powerful experts at the True Immortal Realm and Immortal General Realm so quickly to join the battle.
After all, they had already lost hundreds of millions of troops in just a few hours, so it was impossible not to feel the pain.
However, they are not the only ones with True Immortal Realm and Immortal General Realm experts, and their arrival this time was also very rushed.
Unprepared, they have now fallen into a disadvantageous position.
Most importantly, they never expected that the Qin Emperor Domain would be so powerful, having developed to such an extent in just a few hundred thousand years.
They underestimated the strength of the Qin Empire.
Otherwise, they would have sent twice as many people.
However, it was precisely their underestimation that led them into this awkward situation.
As the immortal army continued to charge into the battle formation, the terrifying power of the formation was revealed.
The army that entered had no chance to resist and was instantly killed.
Qi Ye stared intently at the situation of the army formation, seeing that it had reached its limit.
He immediately ordered the formation to close, and the army at the front quickly responded, blocking the army behind.
They began to surround and kill the army that had entered their ranks.
At this moment, it was impossible for outsiders to see the situation within the army formation; all they could hear were deafening screams.
Many people focused their attention on the Qin Dynasty army, wanting to see what was going on inside.
But now that the army has mobilized, it's impossible for outsiders to see what's happening inside.
We can only wait quietly for the outcome.
However, as time went by, the immortal veins began to get a little anxious.
Several hours had passed, and the Qin Dynasty army had not shown any signs of disorder, which was not good news.
They began to launch even more terrifying attacks with their army, even sending slave soldiers forward to self-destruct.
If Qi Ye hadn't reacted quickly, sending out slave troops to directly attack the immortal army and launching a self-destruct attack as well, it would have been different.
They might actually have broken through the Qin Dynasty's defensive formation.
However, the Qin Dynasty still fell behind in the slave army, after all, compared with the established powers, their time was too short.
Qin Wu also noticed the situation and made a plan in his mind. He knew he needed to train more slaves when he got back.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be good to suffer losses against the slave army.
He couldn't afford to lose his soldiers to the slave army; he would be heartbroken even if just one died.
Another day passed, and the screams from the Qin Dynasty army ceased. The army was revealed, and all that could be seen were corpses covering the ground.
The Qin Dynasty's military appearance remained largely unchanged, indicating that casualties were not significant.
The corpses on the ground were mostly from the Immortal Cultivation Army.
In just a short time, a single day, over a billion soldiers were wiped out.
This was completely beyond everyone's comprehension; that's an army of over a billion!
That's it? Just like that?
The powerful cultivators were terrified.
Does this mean that their army of over 20 billion will be wiped out in less than ten days?
Thinking about this, they became even more afraid.
They never imagined they would encounter such a situation; it was something they hadn't anticipated.
Before they could react, the Qin Dynasty's army launched a preemptive strike, advancing in force and drawing the immortal army into their ranks.
In just a dozen breaths, the hundreds of millions of troops were surrounded again, and the army halted and closed its formation once more.
"Immediately issue the order to retreat; we cannot continue."
A terrified voice came from the mouth of the immortal cultivator.
He knew very well that if things continued like this, it would be difficult for them to leave safely.
Especially considering that there was a powerful expert, possibly at the Immortal King level, on the other side.
This powerful figure hasn't made a move yet, but once he does, they'll understand the difference between a Celestial General and a Celestial King.
Even if they all attacked together, they would still be no match for a Celestial King Realm expert.
After hearing this order.
The demoralized Immortal Army began to flee.
There was no other way; although it was only a one-day battle, they were already terrified of being killed.
They had never encountered such a powerful army before.
They all possessed military formations and a military spirit, making them impossible for ordinary armies to contend with.
But would Qi Ye let him escape like this?
That is impossible.
