Chapter 433: Zhao Er's Breakthrough
Chapter 433: Zhao Er's Breakthrough
September 25, 2017
The battle erupted in an instant.
Logically, Wang Ti and his group should have had the advantage of a surprise attack, and with a wave of arrow rain, they eliminated over a thousand of the enemy. Moreover, the average combat strength of the fifty thousand Xiongnu soldiers was around 20, and although the combat strength of this ten thousand Uhuang cavalry was around 30, Wang Ti's side should have been able to crush them without a doubt.
However, to their disappointment, had overlooked a crucial factor—Wu Yan Yong. This battle was fiercely contested, and Wang Ti's side fought with great difficulty.
Undoubtedly, Wu Yan Yong was the strongest opponent Wang Ti and Zhao Er had ever encountered. His combat strength was comparable to Wu Yan Xiong, with a score of 82 points.
The 82 points in combat strength not only proved this guy's formidable power but also indicated an essential factor: he had awakened the commander trait. This was the real reason why Wang Ti and Zhao Er found the battle so challenging.
Lu Hai Kong's understanding of war was not wrong; in this world, the quality of soldiers and commanders had a decisive impact on the battle situation.
Despite Wu Yan Yong's many disadvantages, he held these two advantages, which made the battle so difficult for Wang Ti and Zhao Er.
It wasn't to the point of being a one-sided beating, and at first, Wang Ti's side even had the upper hand. But when Wu Yan Yong activated his commander trait, the combat strength of his soldiers suddenly soared, and the battle became a stalemate.
Wang Ti and Zhao Er didn't have the Appraisal skill, so they didn't know what Wu Yan Yong's commander trait was. Still, they were sure that Wu Yan Yong was undoubtedly the core of the enemy and the key to their victory in this battle.
So, Wang Ti and Zhao Er, along with several Xiongnu generals with combat strength over seventy, directly surrounded Wu Yan Yong, intending to take him down.
"Even a soft and weak sheep dares to show its claws to a fierce wolf."
Seeing Wang Ti's group charging towards him, Wu Yan Yong showed no fear. He brandished the huge mace-like weapon in his hand and charged towards Wang Ti and Zhao Er.
Among Wang Ti's group, Zhao Er had the highest combat strength, but even his 79 points were slightly lower than Wu Yan Yong's. So, despite having several generals with combat strength over seventy as backup, they were instantly overwhelmed when facing Wu Yan Yong.
"I miscalculated. I didn't expect this guy to be so strong. Although he's not as powerful as Pan Feng, he's probably no weaker than Cheng Lian!" Wang Ti said with a bitter smile as he dealt with Wu Yan Yong's attacks.
"If I had known this guy was so strong, I wouldn't have used this beheading tactic. I should have used a delaying tactic to win."
Wang Ti realized that their group, which concentrated their strongest combat power, couldn't defeat this opponent. The current battle with Wu Yan Yong was incredibly dangerous; a slight mistake could lead to their heads being taken.
At this moment, Wang Ti began to consider changing his tactic to one of delay and attrition.
Just then, Zhao Er, who had been pushed back by Wu Yan Yong, said to Wang Ti, "No, you didn't miscalculate. This tactic is very good!"
After saying this, Zhao Er raised his Phoenix Spear and charged forward again. In a flash, Wang Ti saw a red flame burning in Zhao Er's eyes.
In reality, it wasn't just Zhao Er's eyes that were burning; at this moment, Zhao Er felt like his entire body was on fire.
This guy had cultivated the Phoenix Heart Technique and Phoenix Spear Technique, which Lu Hai Kong had obtained from Wang Hao's secret room. These secret manuals were of a high level, and among Lu Hai Kong's subordinates, they were among the top few. Zhao Er, in particular, was the most talented among Lu Hai Kong's subordinates, excluding historical commanders.
At the top level, Zhao Er had long possessed the qualifications to break through to the 80s in combat strength, with his exceptional talent and heart technique. However, he had yet to find the right opportunity to do so. Now, the perfect chance for his breakthrough had finally arrived.
Wu Yan Yong was the strongest opponent Zhao Er had ever encountered, and at this moment, Zhao Er had no one else to rely on but himself. If he couldn't defeat his opponent, he might very well be killed.
The pressure of facing a powerful opponent who could defeat him at any moment was immense, but for a strong-willed individual seeking a breakthrough, this pressure was the best motivator.
In this intense situation, Zhao Er, feeling as if his body were on fire, brandished the Phoenix Spear and engaged Wu Yan Yong in a ferocious battle.
Initially, Zhao Er was undeniably at a disadvantage, and it was an absolute one at that. If not for the presence of a few comrades by his side, Zhao Er might not have lasted even ten moves before being killed.
Despite this, Zhao Er was undoubtedly the core of their group, tasked with dealing with Wu Yan Yong. Without him, the five or six others with combat strength in the 70s would have been no match for Wu Yan Yong.
Zhao Er held the group together, repeatedly threatening Wu Yan Yong, prolonging the battle.
In this situation, Wu Yan Yong quickly identified Zhao Er as the core of their group. As the core, Wu Yan Yong naturally aimed to eliminate him, intensifying the pressure on Zhao Er.
The mounting pressure, instead of breaking Zhao Er, unleashed his hidden potential. In the fight against Wu Yan Yong, Zhao Er's strength rapidly escalated within a short time.
In the midst of the battle, Zhao Er's spear techniques became increasingly fierce, and the surrounding temperature seemed to soar as if on fire.
Neither Zhao Er nor Wu Yan Yong noticed that as their battle intensified, the area around them gradually cleared, leaving no room for others to intervene.
Wu Yan Yong, in fact, had not personally engaged in combat for some time. During this period, he had been busy commanding his army, and his condition was not at its peak. The effort of breaking the siege at Jiuyuan County had even caused him to cough up blood. His current state was one of gradual decline with each subsequent battle.
On the other hand, Zhao Er was the opposite; the more he fought, the stronger he became. His heart felt like a blazing fire, constantly heating up.
Finally, after dozens of rounds of intense combat, Zhao Er's heart burst into flames. In an instant, his aura surged, and behind him, a faint shadow of a flaming phoenix appeared. This shadow quickly vanished, but its appearance marked a significant moment; Zhao Er's combat strength had skyrocketed, clearly breaking through to the 80s.
"Not good! He..."
Wu Yan Yong managed to say more as Zhao Er's sudden attack cut him off, leaving him unable to finish his sentence.
"Phoenix Blaze!"
With Zhao Er's furious shout, his Phoenix Spear transformed into a waterfall of flames, engulfing Wu Yan Yong. As the faint flames disappeared, Wu Yan Yong was already pierced through the throat by Zhao Er...
