Chapter 533 The Great Xuan Army on the Verge of Collapse
Each weapon radiated a chilling light, exuding an endless aura of slaughter.
The appearance of this Southern Barbarian Demon God's Dharma Image caused the entire battlefield to tremble. The Great Xuan Dynasty army, which was originally fighting hard, now felt an unprecedented despair.
They looked up at the hideous and terrifying image of the Buddha, and the fear that rose in their hearts almost destroyed their will.
Yang Jian's expression became extremely solemn at this moment. He stared at the Daoist soldier statue formed from blood energy and battlefield aura, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
"Daoist soldiers..."
Yang Jian uttered a bitter sentence, his voice filled with undisguised shock and helplessness.
On the Tianwu Continent, the appearance of Dao soldiers often means that the outcome of a war is already decided, unless a Dao soldier of the same level can hold them off.
Otherwise, a Taoist soldier would be a devastating blow to an ordinary army.
The appearance of this Southern Barbarian Demon God's Dharma Image undoubtedly heralds the defeat of the Great Xuan Dynasty's army.
"General, what should we do?"
Upon seeing this, the general beside him asked anxiously.
They were equally startled by the sudden appearance of this Daoist soldier, their hearts filled with fear and unease.
Yang Jian took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart, and stared at the image of the Southern Barbarian Demon God, a resolute light flashing in his eyes.
"Pass down the order: the entire army retreats!"
Yang Jian said in a deep voice, "The Xiaoguo Army must immediately withdraw and rejoin the main force. We can no longer afford to fight these barbarian soldiers head-on."
"But Commander, if we retreat, then..."
The generals beside him hesitated, knowing full well what retreat meant, but the current situation left them no room for further hesitation.
"Territory can be reclaimed, but the lives of our soldiers are only given once."
Yang Jian said coldly, "Execute the order."
With Yang Jian's order given, the troops of the Great Xuan Dynasty who had not yet advanced began to retreat in an orderly manner.
Although they were filled with resentment and anger, under the intimidation of this Southern Barbarian Demon God's appearance, they could only choose to temporarily avoid its sharp edge.
However, just as the Great Xuan Dynasty's army was retreating, the Southern Barbarian Demon God's Dharma Image suddenly let out a deafening roar.
Then, with a wave of its twelve arms, countless weapons formed from blood energy and battlefield aura rained down on the Great Xuan Dynasty army that was still entangled with it.
These weapons contain terrifying power; each strike is enough to tear a soldier of the Great Xuan Dynasty to shreds.
During the retreat of the Great Xuan Dynasty's army, soldiers were constantly struck by these weapons, and screams and wails rose and fell, turning the entire battlefield into a scene of carnage.
Upon seeing this, Yang Jian felt an unprecedented surge of anger.
However, their own high-level combat power is far inferior to that of others, and they are constantly being suppressed.
Now, with the emergence of the Daoist soldiers - the Savage Iron Cavalry, even ordinary armies can no longer defeat them.
What's the point of even doing this?!
Meanwhile, after receiving the retreat order from Yang Jian in the rear, Yang Lin and the other nine elders of the Kai Sui Dynasty, who were commanding the army at the front of the Great Xuan Dynasty, also noticed the rampaging barbarian cavalry and the ferocious demonic avatar above them.
"The Duke actually ordered a retreat?"
Yang Lin frowned, his voice filled with disbelief.
He stared at the image of the Taoist soldier, his heart filled with resentment and anger.
The other veteran generals beside him were also stunned. They knew what retreat meant; it would be a heavy blow to the military prestige of the Great Xuan Dynasty.
"But given the current situation..."
An old general hesitated, looking up at the demon god's image with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Execute the commander's orders!"
"The territory can be retaken, but the lives of our soldiers are only given once. We cannot allow more people to sacrifice themselves here."
Yang Lin said in a deep voice, his voice tinged with bitterness.
Upon hearing this, all the veterans remained silent.
They knew Yang Lin was telling the truth, but the resentment in their hearts burned like a raging fire.
retreat?
It's easier said than done, but now the two armies are entangled together.
If we retreat rashly now, the opposing rebel coalition will seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, and the army of the Great Xuan Dynasty will definitely suffer an unprecedented defeat.
"Pass down the order: the entire army retreats!"
Yang Lin took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.
He gazed at the battlefield ahead, a resolute glint in his eyes. "We must preserve our strength as much as possible and wait for the right opportunity to retake the lost territory."
With Yang Lin's order, the army of the Great Xuan Dynasty began to retreat in an orderly manner.
However, the retreat did not go smoothly.
Upon seeing this, the anti-king coalition immediately launched a fierce offensive.
They pounced like hungry wolves, attempting to completely crush the army of the Great Xuan Dynasty.
Wielding his weapon, he led a team of elite soldiers in a fierce resistance against the rebel coalition's offensive.
However, despite their best efforts, the retreating army continued to fall.
Not far away, the weapons wielded by the Daoist warrior, formed from blood energy and battlefield aura, rained down like raindrops, each strike enough to tear a soldier of the Great Xuan Dynasty to shreds.
Screams and wails rose and fell, turning the entire battlefield into a scene of carnage.
"Hold on! We can't give up here!"
Yang Lin roared, his voice echoing across the battlefield like thunder.
Together with several veteran generals, he brandished his spears and led a squad of personal guards in a fierce resistance against the offensive of the anti-king coalition.
Several elderly figures stood firm like war gods, buying precious time for the retreating army.
However, as time went on, the army of the Great Xuan Dynasty suffered heavy casualties.
More and more soldiers of the Great Xuan Dynasty fell into pools of blood, their eyes filled with resentment and despair.
Although the order to retreat had been issued, the hope of survival in this brutal war had become so slim.
"General Yang! What should we do?"
A young general asked anxiously.
His face was covered in blood and dirt, and his eyes were filled with fear and unease.
Yang Lin took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.
"Hang in there! As long as we're alive, there's still hope!"
He gazed at the battlefield ahead, a resolute glint in his eyes.
However, reality is cruel.
Despite the Great Xuan Dynasty's army's best efforts to resist the rebel alliance's offensive, casualties continued to mount.
The retreat route was littered with corpses and blood; every step was heavy with sorrow and grief.
"General Yang! We can't hold on much longer!"
Another general shouted, his voice trembling with tears.
His body was covered in wounds, and blood was constantly seeping out.
He looked up at Yang Lin, his eyes filled with despair and helplessness.
