Chapter 227 The Situation Changes in an Instant
It's important to understand that in the era of cold weapons, heavy cavalry were the dominant land forces, much like tanks.
Even the resources required to support a few thousand ordinary heavy cavalrymen are enough to support tens of thousands of elite regular troops.
Not to mention heavy cavalry and road soldiers.
Even the Great Qian Dynasty, one of the top five dynasties.
Despite their immense wealth, they only maintained a single heavy cavalry unit, the Thunder Dragon Riders.
And looking at the world, it is even more rare.
Before them, the impoverished Yellow Turban rebels were half armed with bamboo or wooden weapons.
Some ragtag soldiers even came up with a hoe.
Now you're telling me that these Yellow Turban rebels suddenly pulled out a heavy cavalry rifle from their crotches?
This situation is like you walking down the street and seeing a beggar, who then turns around and asks you for money.
"Hey bro, wanna buy a nuclear bomb? I have some in stock."
Then they immediately took you to see a real nuclear bomb.
This is absolutely insane!
...
On the battlefield at this moment, under the dumbfounded gazes of Nangong Tianxia and others.
A force of Taoist soldiers, unlike any seen before, emerged from the Yellow Turban army's ranks—the Iron Pagoda. The military inscriptions engraved on their bodies shone with dazzling light, converging into a majestic and towering pagoda-like image.
Nangong Tianxia gazed at the suddenly appearing Daoist army from afar, his heart filled with turmoil.
"Commander, what... what kind of Taoist soldiers are these? Heavy cavalry Taoist soldiers, no less!"
His adjutant also witnessed this scene and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his voice distorted with shock.
Nangong Tianxia did not answer the deputy general's question, but stared intently at the Ironclad Pagoda soldiers in the distance, his eyes flashing with complex light.
He knew clearly what the appearance of this Taoist army meant.
With the Yellow Turban Army concealing such a powerful trump card, the outcome of this battle has become unpredictable.
"This...this is the Floating Pagoda Formation?"
Nangong Tianxia muttered to himself, his voice filled with shock and disbelief, "Wasn't this military formation supposed to be lost? How could it appear in the Yellow Turban Army's camp?"
Yun Xinrou, who was beside him, also witnessed this scene and wore an expression of disbelief: "General, how...how is this possible?"
"Isn't the Floating Pagoda Formation a Dao weapon possessed by the Great Vault Dynasty, which was nearly an imperial dynasty, and which was shared equally among the five great dynasties hundreds of years ago?"
"This technique was lost hundreds of years ago after the five great dynasties established their rule. Has it really been found by the Yellow Turban Army?"
Nangong Tianxia took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner shock.
He stared coldly at the Yellow Turban army camp in the distance, his heart filled with doubt and resentment.
He originally thought that victory was assured, but he never expected that the Yellow Turban Army had such a powerful backup plan.
The appearance of this Ironclad Pagoda army completely disrupted his plans.
"Hahahaha! You old scoundrel, Nangong!"
"You didn't expect that, did you? Our Yellow Turban Army has such a trump card."
Kong Jin, who had been relentlessly ravaged by Nangong Tianxia and his Thunder Dragon Riders, looked up at Nangong Tianxia with a mocking smile on his face.
As one of Meng Zhang's backup plans, the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge had already arrived.
They had already encountered the Iron Pagoda army.
That's the source of their confidence to charge so recklessly.

"I never expected that you Yellow Turban bandits would be hiding such powerful Taoist soldiers."
"However, a single Taoist soldier won't be enough to keep us here!"
Nangong Tianxia stared intently at Kong Jin and the other two, who were huddled together in their Dharma forms, and said in a cold voice.
After saying that, he took the lead and charged towards the Iron Pagoda Taoist soldiers.
The Heaven-Splitting God-Slaying Spear in his hand shone with dazzling light, like a bolt of lightning ripping through the dark sky.
The Razer dragon riders behind him followed closely behind, launching a charge.
Their figures moved swiftly across the battlefield, like sharp arrows aimed at the enemy's heart.
The two powerful Taoist armies clashed head-on on the battlefield once again, unleashing a deafening roar.
Nangong Tianxia's Heaven-Splitting God-Slaying Spear, with the force of a thunderbolt, slammed down on the Ironclad Pagoda soldiers, each swing taking the lives of a group of enemies.
The Ironclad Pagoda soldiers were not to be outdone, and with their powerful Dharma forms and military formations, they engaged in a fierce battle with the Thunder Dragon Riders.
"Lei Ze!" Nangong Tianxia raised the Heaven-Splitting God-Slaying Spear high and shouted loudly. His voice echoed across the battlefield like thunder, inspiring the Lei Ze Dragon Riders around him to fight bravely.
"Dragon Riders Lead the Way!"
The numerous Thunder Dragon Riders behind them shouted in unison, their voices converging into a powerful force that shook the entire battlefield.
The military formation around him surged wildly, and a divine and mighty Thunder Dragon God dharma image slowly emerged, with a human head and a dragon body, emitting earth-shattering thunder that was deafening and lasted for a long time.
Like a giant dragon surging across the battlefield, it exudes boundless majesty and power.
The dragon's roar shook the heavens, and wherever the Dharma image passed, the soldiers of the Azure Dragon Legion fell one after another.
Meanwhile, Nangong Tianxia and Lei Zelongqi were held back by the Iron Pagoda and the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge.
The situation on the battlefield reversed instantly.
The Bull Demon King, who had been suppressed by Nangong Tianxia, returned to the battlefield like a beast freed from its shackles, exuding a violent aura.
He roared to the sky, his voice shaking the heavens, and the Yellow Turban warriors behind him were also roused, their morale soaring.
At this moment, the Bull Demon King grinned maliciously, wielding his mixed iron cudgel, and led the Yellow Turban Warriors to surge towards Yun Xinrou and the Soul-Hooking Army like a tidal wave.
The Bull Demon King, already incredibly powerful, was now like a tiger descending the mountain, unstoppable.
At this moment, the only remaining two novice war gods, Yun Xinrou and the Soul-Hooking Army, on the central battlefield were caught in a fierce battle against the Bull Demon King's frenzied attack.
The Soul-Hooking Army's formation, which was already badly damaged, was torn apart again and again, and the soldiers fell one after another.
Yun Xinrou moved with agility and her bow and arrows were exceptionally nimble. She tried to weave across the battlefield, attempting to find a breakthrough, but the Bull Demon King's attacks were too fierce, putting her under immense pressure.
"Quick! Stop them!"
Yun Xinrou shouted loudly, her voice filled with anxiety and helplessness.
Upon hearing Yun Xinrou's shouts, the soldiers of the Soul-Hooking Army raised their weapons and fought with all their might against the enemy.
However, the strength of the Yellow Turban Warriors should not be underestimated.
Led by the Bull Demon King, a powerful celestial general with a base weapon level of 108, the Yellow Heaven Dharma Image behind him, like the prayer of the Grim Reaper, ruthlessly reaped lives on the battlefield.
The Bull Demon King laughed as he watched the battle unfold before him, seemingly already seeing the hope of victory.
"Hahaha! You traitors, everything you've done is exactly what Commander-in-Chief Meng Zhang predicted!"
He roared loudly, waving the iron rod in his hand like a windmill.
