Hua Zichen was able to kill Great Heaven cultivators many times on the battlefield because of his [Great Righteousness].
That martial Great Heaven cultivator was hit by Hua Zichen's attack. At the start, there was nothing, but after three moves, he felt an unusual power start to rage in his body.
The Sky Dragon Colt saw the other's movements slow and started to attack the other's warhorse. Hua Zichen endured the pain in his body and continued to charge at the other, knocking him off his horse.
Seeing this, the Hua Family could not let go of such a chance. The Energy Realm cultivators immediately changed targets and charged at the Donghu general who had fallen off his horse. Soon, he was killed by multiple Energy Realm cultivators.
This Donghu general was a rare expert in the Great Heaven Realm, but he was killed by the Hua Family.
Hua Zichen took out an Elixir Of Spring and hurriedly swallowed it. He saw that the Donghu cavalry were about to complete the encirclement and ordered everyone to charge with him.
Originally, the Donghu cavalry only had a thousand people, and they had lost a portion chasing the Hua Family. Now, more than half of the Energy Realm cultivators had died. More than six hundred cavalry went to flank them, and there were less than three hundred cavalry at the front.
The Hua Family cavalry charged at the Donghu cavalry without regard for anything. The Donghu cavalry at the front kept falling. Their weapons stabbed at the Hua Family cavalry, but the expected feeling of the weapons entering flesh did not appear. The Hua Family did not care about defense like the other cavalry, and in a few breaths, defeated more than two hundred cavalry.
Hua Zichen saw that all the Hua Family had left the encirclement, and stopped his horse to look behind him.
The Donghu cavalry looked at the Hua Family cavalry from afar. For the first time, they faced their opponent seriously. The Hua Family cavalry was no weaker than the Donghu cavalry.
Now, one of their generals had died. They had lost more than two hundred people in the battle just now, and the Hua Family cavalry had lost no more than thirty people. The Donghu cavalry knew that they had met their match today!
The Hua Family cavalry looked silently at the other. Right now, the advantage was on their side. They had left the encirclement, and the other could not catch up to them. They just had to delay the other and slowly eat them up. The other was heavy cavalry, but in terms of defense and offense, the Hua Family cavalry was many times stronger than them, and their mission was just to delay the other.
The Hua Family cavalry saw the other was standing where he was, and sent people to continue to provoke him.
The other was indeed the ace of Donghu. He was unmoved by the Hua Family cavalry.
The Xue Pan went forward to kill the other with his bow. The other only sent the few remaining Qi Transformation Realm cultivators to defend on the outside. After fighting for more than an hour, the Xue Pan killed more than twenty people, and wounded more than forty. The Donghu cavalry gave chase several times, but did not dare to separate too far. If this continued, they would be exhausted to death.
Hua Zichen saw that the Xue Pan's arm was red and swollen after shooting hundreds of arrows, and had him go down to rest. As long as the other did not leave, he would not pursue. The two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, and stopped to wait for the result of the battle.
On the central battlefield, more than half of the Yan elite cavalry had died, but all the Qi infantrymen were fighting with the Donghu army. People on both sides were dying in battle, and victory was slowly moving to the Qi and Yan army.
The Qi and Yan army slowly started to gain the advantage on the battlefield. At this time, a group of two thousand Donghu cavalry charged out of the enemy army. They charged to the rear of the army before stopping, and almost charged through the center of the Qi and Yan army. In this short while, the Qi and Yan army lost more than ten thousand people. It could be seen how powerful the Donghu cavalry was.
The two thousand Donghu cavalry had fought for so long, but they were surrounded by the Qi and Yan army at the center. Just like the ten thousand Yan cavalry, they could not advance an inch. The twenty Greater Heaven experts of the Qi and Yan army came from all directions, entering the Donghu cavalry and quickly harvesting their lives.
The Donghu cavalry did not charge. They were not a match for the Greater Heaven experts.
At this time, a figure flew out from the direction of the Lin Hu army. He was the commander of the Donghu army this time, the strongest of the Donghu grasslands – Tungus.
If the Donghu army wanted to turn the tables, they could only place their hopes on these two thousand elite cavalry. The Donghu king wanted to help his cavalry break through the center of the Qi and Yan army. He was going all out!
But compared to Foundation Establishment, the Qi and Yan army had more people. Three Foundation Establishment flew out from the Qi and Yan army to meet the Donghu king. The situation on the battlefield had completely turned to the Qi and Yan army.
Hua Zichen watched as the Donghu army was killed. Without the advantage of being concentrated, the Donghu cavalry could not be a match for the Qi infantry. Slowly, the battlefield started to move towards the Donghu army, and faster.
The Qi and Yan army knew that victory was in sight. They started to fight with the enemy without regard for anything else. The Donghu cavalry facing the Hua family cavalry could not watch anymore, and slowly started to retreat.
Hua Zichen led the Hua family cavalry to follow, and did not let go. The Donghu cavalry saw this and could only stop and go back to help. At this time, someone shouted, "The Donghu king is fleeing!"
The Donghu king was not a match for three against one. Seeing that defeat was certain, he started to flee. Seeing this, the Qi and Yan army became even more excited, and the Donghu army started to flee.
The Donghu cavalry fighting the Hua family cavalry did not care so much when they saw this. They quickly split into several groups and fled. Their teammates in the back had all been abandoned.
It was time to get the fruits of victory. The Hua family cavalry left behind a few people to clean up the battlefield. The Hua family cavalry who had died in battle had to be gathered together. Their [Gold Silk Soft Armor] could not be taken by others.
The four hundred Hua family cavalry started to split into dozens of groups. They tried to surround the fleeing Donghu army cavalry, and soon, the Donghu army was fleeing in disorder!
The entire battle lasted for two days and two nights. The Donghu army fled more than three hundred li before stopping. In this battle, the Qi and Yan army had lost more than thirty thousand people, and more than fifty thousand were wounded. They defeated the one hundred thousand Donghu soldiers, and killed more than forty thousand. In the end, less than twenty thousand Donghu soldiers were able to leave the battlefield.
The Hua family had lost more than four thousand people. Among them, there were seven Energy Realm, sixty-eight Qi Transformation Realm, and more than six hundred main forces. More than three thousand of the ten thousand refugees and auxiliary soldiers had died.
Just the five hundred elite cavalry of the Hua family had lost more than fifty people, but at the same time, the results were astounding.
More than two thousand Donghu soldiers had died at their hands, especially the one thousand Donghu cavalry. Because of the Hua family cavalry, they had all been left behind. The Hua family had killed one Connate Realm, more than forty Energy Realm, and almost one thousand Qi Transformation Realm. This left a deep impression on the Qi and Yan families.
After losing more than half of their forces, the Donghu army did not have the courage to continue fighting the Qi and Yan army. They took the food, wealth, and people they had taken from the Yan and started to retreat to the north.
Even so, there were more than fifty thousand Donghu soldiers in the north of the Yan. It would take some time for the Qi and Yan army to drive them all away.
In the second year of the drought, most of the food in the central plains had been eaten. Especially when the Qi gathered all the elites to fight in the Yan and took away most of the food, all of the Qi started to riot.
News came from Donglai Commandery and Chengyang Commandery that the commanderies had been attacked by the rioters. All the houses of the families had been attacked by the rioters. Men, women, old, and young were all killed. The entire commanderies had been looted by the rioters.
One hundred thousand refugees had appeared in Langxie and surrounded the capital. Even though the Yan victory was in sight, the problem of the Qi became even more serious.
Hua Zichen represented Guang Commandery in the military conference held by the king of Qi. He knew of the present situation of the Qi and could not help but sigh.
The commanderies of the Qi had almost finished the food they had brought from their homes. Right now, the Donghu army had taken all the food in the north of the Yan, and it was impossible to take food locally.
Adding on the riots of the people of the Qi, the king of Qi had to agree to let some families who wanted to go home go back to the Qi. He was afraid that the rioters could not suppress the situation and the situation in the country would get worse.
The moment the king of Qi spoke, many families said that they had no more food and had to go home. Some families had been attacked by the rioters and could not stay here.
In three days, more than thirty people of the Qi army that had just won a great victory started to retreat south. They left behind more than one hundred thousand soldiers to help the Yan clear out the remnants of the Donghu army.
If the four hundred thousand soldiers could sweep from the south to the north, it would take at most three months to chase out the fifty thousand cavalry of the Donghu army. But right now, there were only one hundred thousand people left. They did not have an absolute advantage in numbers and could not wipe out the enemy. No one knew how long this battle would last.
The Han family, the Li family and their subordinate families all chose to return to Guang Commandery.
The Hua family and more than eighty subordinate families all stayed. Together, they had thirty thousand soldiers and were the family with the most soldiers left behind.
When Hua Kai heard the news from the Yan Kingdom at Jixia Academy, he could not feel happy.
The drought had lasted for two years. This winter would be the hardest.
The world would only become more chaotic. In this situation, the conflicts between the countries would expand infinitely. This winter, countless people without food would starve to death. By next year, how many people would be left in Qi?
Entering the eleventh month, the Hua Jiazhu forces were still clearing out the Donghu army in the Yan Kingdom. Guang Commandery already had a perfect way to manage the refugees. With the endless supply of food from the Hua family, no refugees could start a riot. If the Hua family found a troublemaker, they would be dealt with.
The goods that the family had brought back from the Xiongnu Kingdom had been sold. All of Fort Wah Ka and even Guang Commandery was the same as before. This place was like living in a different world compared to the other commanderies.
Ever since the Qin destroyed Yiqu and built the Great Wall in the north, they had not made any big moves. Just when everyone thought that Qin Zheng would focus on the drought in the country, there was news from the Qin Kingdom in the eleventh month that Qin Zheng had killed a mid level yao, the Drought Demon Jade Rabbit, in the Qinling Mountains.
Mid level yao beasts were equal to the masters of the seven countries and the saints. In this era without great yao, mid level yao beasts were the top of all yao beasts.
It was very difficult to kill the other in a battle of equal power. Also, yao beasts could explode their inner cores when their lives were threatened. Qin Zheng was the only one in a thousand years who could kill a mid level yao beast alone.
