Chapter 869: The Violent Killing Flow Takes the Lead
"Everyone charge, victory or defeat depends on this!" Tokugawa Ieyasu led the troops. In fact, he had no other choice but to use the most primitive and simple way to boost morale.
"Ju Yi, let the vanguard shine as it deserves!" Guo Hao gave the order calmly.
"Here!" Ju Yi showed a bloodthirsty smile. To be honest, it has been a long time since their Xiandeng had a serious outburst.
They always use their own melee troops as their own, and the world is almost forgetting that they are the best in the world in long-range attacks.
"First, clouds and rain of arrows washed the ground!"
Ju Yi led the vanguard of the death squad and marched out from the crowd, his eyes fixed on the Japanese army which was over a hundred steps away.
Dark cloud threads appeared on the bows and crossbows of all the first-line death warriors, and then turned into arrows. Then the arrows continued to condense, and finally turned into a real arrow.
The Cloud Arrow, although successfully downgraded from the ultimate secret of the archer to an ordinary-level skill by a group of big guys and their rich transformation experience.
However, the corresponding eighth-generation Changshuiying cloud arrows and Xiandeng’s cloud arrows are two different things.
The real purpose of the cloud arrows of the eighth generation Changshui Camp was reduced to the point that they did not require logistics.
The Xiandeng are different. They are the troops who have taken the ultimate step and are a top-level legion that can fight against any force in the world.
In this era when everyone is making progress, Xiandeng will naturally not stay where he is. Long before the war in Japan, Ju Yi had taken Xiandeng's cloud arrows to a deeper level.
"Let's test the waters with one shot first! Let's see whether you are genuine or fake!"
Looking at the charging army, Ju Yi muttered to himself, not taking the army, which was so powerful that it seemed to be able to overturn the entire earth, seriously at all.
With a slight bang, thousands of arrows were shot out. They were obviously bows and crossbows, but Xiandeng chose to throw arrows.
Thousands of arrows drew a graceful arc in the air, and then began to fall, falling towards the Japanese army.
"Defend, rush forward in one breath!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu had a bad feeling in his heart, but at this point, there was no turning back.
The falling cloud arrows suddenly began to change, like exploding fireworks, and each solid arrow suddenly split into dozens of semi-illusory cloud arrows.
In less than a breath of time, hundreds of thousands of arrows fell from the sky. More than six digits of arrows landed on the Japanese army like heavy rain.
“Aaaaaaaah~”
Sharp screams echoed throughout the battlefield, and the covered area instantly turned into a living hell. Even with the protection of Moon Refraction, facing the cloud arrows that were like raindrops, even refraction could not reflect all the attacks.
What's more, they were crowded together , and even if it was refracted, it would be a disaster no less than a stray arrow for others.
"The effect is a bit poor. This batch is really elite!"
Even though the result was that at least a hundred people were killed and thousands were injured in one wave, Ju Yi shook his head in dissatisfaction.
This is the first application method developed by the Cloud Arrow, condensation and splitting.
The original intention was to achieve the effect of covering and washing the floor at the lowest cost, but now it seems that the effect is not ideal.
The range is indeed large enough, but the lethality is really worrying.
Even if the Cloud Arrow has been developed to this extent, it is difficult for it to achieve the same devastating effect as their Military Soul Ultimate Skill.
Moreover, if the opponents are all real elites, this kind of attack can only cause minor injuries.
Those who were shot to death were probably soldiers who had not reached the elite level of double talents. As for those who had reached the elite level of double talents , they were only wounded and not dead.
Most of the soldiers stood there like hedgehogs, and only continued to move forward when the clouds and arrows turned into the essence of heaven and earth and dissipated.
This was the result of the low defense of the Japanese troops as a whole. Ju Yi was very dissatisfied with this result.
For this kind of attack, it would be better for them to just copy Changshui's attack mode. Maybe they could even kill a few soldiers with double talents.
Who cares about the current situation? Even though it seems that all the enemy soldiers have been shot into hedgehogs, because Amaterasu and Yue Du have bet on the protection of Kamikaze, they have actually not suffered any damage at all.
Although pain is unavoidable, overall it is probably equivalent to the feeling of being pricked by a needle dozens of times. For any soldier who can reach double talents, this is not a big deal.
"Weak attack, keep charging, victory is at hand." Tokugawa Ieyasu probably had guessed where his ominous premonition came from, probably this terrifying legion.
However, he made the same choice as Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, betting his life on the possibility of the commando team's success. For this, he had to be stubborn enough to take the opponent's ultimate move head-on.
"Let's try this again!" Ju Yi hasn't faced elite troops of this scale for a long time, so he has many ideas that he wants to realize here.
This time, the clouds condensed from the hands of hundreds of people and finally gathered in the hands of each centurion. Then a super huge arrow made of cloud appeared, or it would be more appropriate to say a spear.
"Three shots!"
Following Ju Yi's command, the vanguard divided into three waves and fired their spears alternately.
"Go ahead and chop them up with Legion Attack!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu had gone completely mad. His officers and soldiers condensed clouds and attacked one after another. Slashes and spears collided and canceled each other out in the air, but in the end, the number of clouds and spears was greater.
The thick spear continued to expand during the flight. This was the second use of the Cloud Arrow. It contracted and expanded to achieve the effect of a legion attack. It was also a killer move developed by Xiandeng to deal with the Flying Bear type of cuckold soldiers.
The spears penetrated into the army, and their huge size allowed them to achieve considerable results, some even killing more than a dozen people with a single spear.
However, there were more than forty spears in total, and most of them were chopped off by the legion's attack. The remaining ones were more of a deterrent than a killing force.
"There is a limit to expansion!" Ju Yi smiled as he looked at the Japanese army that was still charging.
With such a long distance, Xiandeng can play for a long time and put into practice all the wonderful ideas in his mind.
As Ju Yi spoke, the dozen spears that had pierced the army suddenly began to glow, and then...
boom--
More than a dozen small mushroom clouds rose from the ground. This time, even Tokugawa Ieyasu could not control himself.
In fact, the first two waves of attacks killed less than a thousand people, which was only one-tenth of their current elite charging group. Even if this loss was placed among the regular soldiers, they might be able to withstand it.
What's more, the more important thing is that the deterrence caused by the first two waves of attack special effects made almost all of them start to be cautious, and their morale naturally began to decline.
Although they knew that the opponent was an archer corps at the same level as the Demon Cavalry, the dominance they displayed was far beyond the reach of the Demon Cavalry.
It's like the difference between tanks and missiles. Although tanks are very powerful, when it comes to digging tunnels and laying mines, you can always think of some countermeasures.
But missiles are different. When you learn that the other party has this thing, you can't even think of how to fight him without missiles.
Even if the tank has unlimited ammunition and the missile has a small equivalent, the deterrent effect it brings is completely different.
"Keep charging. The opponent has run out of tricks. As long as we hold on, victory will eventually belong to Japan!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu first calmed himself down, and then calmly shouted the slogan of victory.
The calm Tokugawa Ieyasu successfully restored morale with his superb acting skills.
As the saying goes, it is easy to get thousands of soldiers but difficult to get a good general. A good commander and general can make a big difference on the battlefield.
If you change to a mediocre commander, he will first show despair , which will then cause the entire army to waver, and then directly type GG amid laughter.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, known as one of the three heroes of the Japanese Warring States Period, successfully withstood the pressure and continuously maintained the morale of the Japanese army in the simplest way.
In fact, most of those soldiers were not fools. Everyone knew the power of the Han Dynasty. No matter how closed-minded they were, they knew that the army was losing ground. Even now, even the gods were gone, and the Han Dynasty had the upper hand.
Most Japanese people have no so-called dignity. Although the spirit of Bushido is popular in Japan, when the time comes, very few people are willing to commit seppuku to apologize.
According to common sense, the soldiers of the Japanese army would have collapsed long ago. After all, it doesn't matter who they work for, so why bother fighting to the death with the Han Dynasty? Just as Himiko and others had advertised, they could still live a good life if they served under Himiko.
However, on the one hand, it was the result of Oda Nobunaga's own combination of kindness and force, and on the other hand, it was also due to the magic of Yuedu and Amaterasu, a kind of mental suggestion similar to brainwashing, which forced these Japanese soldiers to obey their commander to the greatest extent.
This method also requires the prestige of the commander himself, so it can only be led by Oda Nobunaga and his two companions, who are known as the three heroes of Japan. This is one of the reasons why Tokugawa Ieyasu can still stabilize the situation.
This may sound like a long story, but in fact it happened very quickly. The Japanese army never stopped rushing towards Guo Hao.
"Shoot them, the first to die!"
After trying several waves of his ideas in succession and failing to achieve very good results, Ju Yi had no choice but to give up his experiment regretfully and start to get serious.
The Japanese army has already approached this point. If we continue to play this game, it will not end well.
"The first to ascend the throne is to defeat the enemy!"
As Ju Yi earnestly unfolded his military spirit, all the vanguard soldiers indifferently picked up their crossbows, and then naturally staggered their angles so that each of their attacks could be directed towards the front.
More than 4,000 powerful crossbows comparable to bed crossbows fired fiercely. The first-line soldiers did not even consider changing arrows, they just kept pulling the strings and shooting.
The first shot is a physical arrow, and each subsequent attack is a cloud arrow. This is the prelude to Ju Yi's strongest killing move.
That's how Xiandeng rode on the white horse to ascend to the highest military spirit. Now, he used the same method again, and the power was far greater than before. It was not only because of the upgrade of the bows and crossbows, but also because Ju Yi had a deeper understanding of the cloud arrows.
A wall of cloud arrows shot out, and from the moment they were shot out, they shot towards the Japanese army without a sound.
One arrow pierced through the front row of soldiers, and then three in a row. The terrifying power directly created a huge hole in the body of the soldier who was hit by the arrow. This is the power of an unlimited crossbow.
Back then, even the white horse could not avoid the wall-like cloud arrows. One arrow would directly pass through the body and create a hole the size of a bowl. Unless the internal energy left the body, there would be no way for the person to survive.
The soldier who was rushing in the front was shot to death on the spot, and he could hardly even let out a scream. He was almost instantly riddled with holes in the cloud arrows.
No matter whether the ones being hit were dual talents or the Royal Guards, they were all shot into sieves by the cloud arrows.
This is not just a trial run, but a real and mature strategy that takes both quality and quantity into consideration.
Tokugawa Ieyasu still wanted to use his super elite troops at the forefront, and then use the legion to attack and clear the way, fighting his way out of the wall of clouds and arrows, but how could the vanguard's attack be so simple?
The purpose of the cloud arrow wall is to force the enemy to place their super elite and defensive soldiers in the front. Only in this way can they reap better results if they climb up first.
"The first to die, live in the face of death!" Ju Yi shouted loudly with his sword and shield in hand, and unleashed the ultimate move of the first to die.
At this moment, strands of red silk threads bloomed from the bodies of all the first-line warriors and then wrapped around the heavy crossbow.
"kill!"
The super elite soldiers from Japan have already rushed to the front of the vanguard. Without the help of internal energy, Ju Yi can clearly see the beads of sweat on the faces of these super elite soldiers.
The scarlet silk thread was wrapped around the heavy crossbow and then turned into a crossbow arrow. The combination of essence, energy and spirit made Xiandeng's arrow destined to be extraordinary.
With a slight string sound, four thousand scarlet crossbow arrows were shot out. This was Xiandeng's ultimate move, and also the strongest killing move that Xiandeng used before he ascended to the Junhun.
The vanguards with half military souls actually don’t need the so-called military soul’s ultimate skills. They believe in their own strength, and they only need the support of the military soul’s infinite physical strength.
Therefore, when Xiandeng developed in the Han Dynasty until today and achieved the true military spirit, there was no so-called military spirit move. Instead, this killer move became the ultimate move of their military spirit.
Originally, he was using his own physical strength as a sacrifice, attaching his own will to the cloud arrow, making the damage of the cloud arrow reach the sky.
As a result, there is now a little more imperial will, or something like national destiny, which makes the damage of the cloud arrow reach a new level again.
And it was not a single shot, more than five digit arrows gathered into a torrent filled with blood.
The rain of arrows like a bloody torrent engulfed all the enemies in front of them. In the face of the five-digit powerful crossbow rain of arrows, the number of the Japanese army lost all meaning.
Almost instantly, only a blood mist passage remained in front of the first batch of death soldiers.
The Japanese generals who were watching the battlefield fell silent. Nearly 10,000 Japanese elite soldiers were wiped out in the blink of an eye, and the only trace left in the world was a cloud of blood mist.
The terrifying power made Ju Yi nod with satisfaction, and then he led the vanguard to retreat behind Feixiong.
This move is powerful, but even if it is the Military Soul, if they do not continue to burn the power of the Military Soul to demand it from the Imperial Will, they can be said to have withdrawn from this war stage.
But in a war where victory is assured, there is no need to do such a thing.
The imperial will is a precious thing, so it is best not to use it if possible.
