Chapter 1012: Wang Ti's Outburst
Chapter 1012: Wang Ti's Outburst
September 25, 2017
Bingzhou, outside Dingyang City.
At this moment, from any perspective, Wang Ti was in an extremely dangerous situation.
His biggest problem lay within the black 'whirlpool' in Dong Zhuo's massive army camp.
Lu Bu's sudden roar directly caused one-tenth of his legions within Dong Zhuo's army to rebel. This situation was extremely critical for any commander.
The rebellion of one-tenth of his forces wasn't the issue; the problem was their location in the center of the army, which to some extent, severed Wang Ti's command over his legions.
Although Wang Ti's capabilities could restore his command, the raging fire in Dong Zhuo's camp was spreading. The entire camp was in chaos, not only making it more difficult for Wang Ti to regain control of his legions but also significantly reducing the time he had.
If he couldn't regain control of his legions within a very short time, his defeat was certain.
Jia Xu didn't even give him this brief window of time. Once he made his move, Wang Ti was doomed.
Outside Dong Zhuo's camp, Hua Xiong led the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry in a fierce attack, charging towards the part of Wang Ti's army that hadn't managed to penetrate Dong Zhuo's camp.
With the 'whirlpool' in front and the ferocious tiger behind, Jia Xu's strategy was ruthless.
At this moment, if Wang Ti didn't have any other means, it would be a life-or-death situation.
Standing nearby, Xu Rong watched as his opponent, who had shattered all his plans in an instant and forced him to admit defeat, went from a position of great advantage to a dead end. Xu Rong couldn't help but turn to look at Jia Xu.
Although he didn't agree with Jia Xu's methods, he had to acknowledge the capabilities of the scholar before him.
However, as he turned, he noticed a slight frown on Jia Xu's previously calm face.
"Something's wrong, the situation is not right!"
"What's wrong?" Xu Rong was perplexed. He turned to observe the battlefield but couldn't discern anything amiss.
Xu Rong was no ordinary man; he was an exceptional commander. If even he couldn't detect anything wrong, it meant that Lu Hai Kong's army was truly in a perilous situation.
Wang Ti's army was in complete disarray. Such widespread chaos couldn't be quelled even by a general using the 'Commanding Presence' skill.
This was supposed to be a favorable situation for them, so what could possibly be wrong?
As Xu Rong puzzled over this, Jia Xu spoke again, "General Xu, something is amiss. Although I can't pinpoint it, please trust me. We must leave immediately!"
Despite Jia Xu's calm expression, he exuded the demeanor of someone unperturbed even by the collapse of Mount Tai.
Yet, Xu Rong detected a rare hint of urgency in Jia Xu's tone.
Therefore, even though Jia Xu couldn't provide a clear reason, Xu Rong chose to believe him.
Xu Rong didn't plan to leave himself; he only intended to send Jia Xu away. After all, he recognized Jia Xu's exceptional talent, and such a person was not to be lost.
Just as Xu Rong prepared to act, a mysterious force surged into the sky from within Dong Zhuo's army.
"This... this can't be. Isn't Zhang Man Cheng not here?"
Sensing this force, Xu Rong's expression changed. He had personally experienced this power once before, when Zhang Man Cheng had unleashed it.
Having felt its might firsthand, he knew what it signified.
"A majestic aura, unstoppable, this power doesn't seem to be Zhang Man Cheng's. It seems we've underestimated Lu Hai Kong. His subordinates aren't limited to just one top-tier commander like Zhang Man Cheng. Now the situation is dire!"
As Jia Xu sensed the power, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth. Although he knew his plan had failed, he didn't show much disappointment, at least not outwardly.
"Let's go. Don't look anymore. The tide has turned, and it's useless to watch further. We should be worrying about how to escape now!"
As Jia Xu prepared to pull Xu Rong away, he noticed something amiss with Xu Rong's state.
"My apologies, Mr. Jia, you go ahead. I have some matters to attend to, so I can't accompany you. Send Mr. Jia back to Chang'an immediately!"
Xu Rong turned and strode towards the army camp with unwavering determination.
As the de facto commander of Dong Zhuo's army, Xu Rong had retreated earlier because he knew about Jia Xu's plan, and they still had a chance to turn the tables. However, after his last attempt failed, he followed Jia Xu without hesitation.
At this moment, as the mysterious power soared into the sky, Xu Rong was certain that Jia Xu's plan had failed.
This also meant that they had completely failed, and at this moment, Xu Rong had no choice but to stay.
Emperor's Tyrant Dong Zhuo had placed so much trust in him, not holding his failure at Huolao Pass against him. This time, he was once again given the actual command of the 200,000-strong army.
With Dong Zhuo's trust, he couldn't bring himself to turn and leave at this critical moment.
"How can I leave? How can I possibly leave at this time? If I leave now, what face will I have to face the Lord when I return?"
Xu Rong strode towards the military camp, each step firm and resolute. As he walked, his back seemed to straighten with every step.
"Even as a defeated general, I will let them know that Dong Zhuo's soldiers and generals are not so easily defeated!"
Seeing this, Jia Xu was momentarily stunned, and a smile crept onto his lips. Without a word, he turned and left.
...
In the 619th chapter of the original novel, a mistake was spotted!
In the midst of Emperor's Tyrant Dong Zhuo's army camp, as a deep whirlpool trapped Wang Ti, this guy stepped forward, spreading his arms in the same pose that Lu HaiKong had seen Zhang Han use in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.
At that moment, a surge of aura identical to Zhang Han's filled the air.
In fact, one of Lu HaiKong's most lethal weapons in this battle was Wang Ti. Shortly after Lu HaiKong emerged from the Mausoleum, Wang Ti's Commander Trait successfully broke through level 90.
As soon as Wang Ti's Commander Trait broke through, Lu HaiKong immediately called him back.
Lu HaiKong had prepared a level 90 Commander Trait upgrade package for Wang Ti, and as soon as Wang Ti upgraded, Lu HaiKong sent it to him.
With a Talent Plunder Token and a stone core from Zhang Han's Terracotta Warrior, Lu HaiKong successfully stripped Zhang Han's Terracotta Warrior of its unique Commander Trait, 'Overwhelming Dominance'. He then transferred this unique Commander Trait to Wang Ti, essentially creating a top-tier commander.
Because Lu HaiKong had personally crafted Wang Ti, he was well aware of his capabilities. It was this confidence that led Lu HaiKong to not take command himself this time.
And Wang Ti did not disappoint. When faced with the crisis Jia Xu had meticulously prepared for him, Wang Ti's Commander Trait activated, and the crisis was resolved!
The moment 'Overwhelming Dominance' was activated, Wang Ti's army, which had been corrupted, instantly regained their senses. Simultaneously, the power of the 300,000-strong army was condensed by Wang Ti into an incredibly formidable military might.
Although this military might was far from comparable to Zhang Man Cheng's forces at Huolao Pass, it was enough to handle the current situation. The army was once again under Wang Ti's control.
With the army back under his command, Wang Ti's forces unleashed an incredible combat power, instantly shattering the whirlpool Jia Xu had set up.
Facing Wang Ti's unleashed army, they couldn't resist, and Wang Ti didn't linger. After shattering the whirlpool, he quickly rearranged his forces, with the vanguard becoming the rearguard, and swiftly began to retreat from Emperor's Tyrant Dong Zhuo's camp.
It was a massive army of 300,000, not just thirty men, and Wang Ti was able to rearrange the army's positions in an instant. This maneuver was truly awe-inspiring.
However, for Hua Xiong, who had witnessed Wang Ti's incredible move, it wasn't awe-inspiring; he was just confused about what had happened.
He had been leading the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry to charge happily towards Wang Ti's army outside Emperor's Tyrant Dong Zhuo's camp, planning to attack them from behind. But before Hua Xiong could strike, Wang Ti unleashed his ultimate move, and the army turned, directing their spears towards Hua Xiong's forces.
The sudden change was startling, but what was even more terrifying was that as they turned, the military might gathered by Wang Ti's ultimate move began to overwhelm them.
Along with this military might came a shower of arrows.
Hua Xiong and his men were stunned. The rain of arrows fell in an instant, and they didn't have the same armor as the Iron Blood Cavalry. As the arrows fell, many of Hua Xiong's Liangzhou Iron Cavalry fell.
At the same time, Wang Ti's 300,000-strong army advanced towards Hua Xiong's forces.
In the blink of an eye, the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, once like hungry tigers ready to pounce on lambs, became the lambs, while Wang Ti's army became the true hungry tigers.
Just as Wang Ti's army was about to overwhelm Hua Xiong's forces, Xu Rong had already returned to Emperor's Tyrant Dong Zhuo's camp.
Looking at the chaotic camp, Xu Rong's eyes shone, and his aura began to gather.
If someone had been able to see Xu Rong's attributes at that moment, they would have noticed his Commander Trait increasing, and his Commander Skill was also changing...
