Chapter 683: The Moment of Decisive Battle
The so-called Wanhun Blood Sacrifice is a hybrid product of Kebi Neng's combination of Xianbei's traditional ability blood sacrifice and an extreme method of strengthening the army inherited from the Xiongnu.
The ten thousand souls in it are just an imaginary number. According to Ke Bineng's strategic plan, he needs to eliminate the Pingzhou Army and Youzhou Allied Army in the remaining month or so, and then divide his troops to eliminate the Lu Bu Army and Dong Zhuo Army around Wancheng. If possible, take the opportunity to capture Youzhou, Pingzhou Army, and some areas of Bingzhou, and get as many national fortune war rewards as possible, and push Xianbei civilization to the period of the Five Chaos.
To complete such a arduous task in such a short period of time, the scale of blood sacrifice that Kebi Neng needs will naturally not be small.
According to the strategic plan, only six Xiongnu Wanqi and five Wolf cavalry were really qualified to participate in the counterattack in his hands, and there were only one million soldiers at full strength.
To complete the above strategic conception, it is only possible unless these one million soldiers are all soldiers of the seventh rank or above!
And how many soldiers with seventh-level strength under Ke Bineng's command? The whole army was collected, including the personal guards of all the generals, and there were less than 50,000 people, which was less than two-thirds of the Pingzhou Army.
And in order to improve the combat power of the soldiers, the scale of the blood sacrifice is naturally unprecedentedly large, and a total of 10 million pieces of blood energy are needed!
Note that here are 10 million parts of blood, not 10 million people. Not everyone's death can provide a piece of blood energy. Under normal circumstances, only the death of soldiers with third-level strength can condense a standard scale of blood energy.
Ke Bi Neng's idea at the beginning was very good. First, use the cannon fodder army in the Xianbei army to head-to-head with the Pingzhou army, which can consume every point of the Pingzhou army. At the same time, he himself used a certain inherited item to collect the blood energy generated on the battlefield, and he could also use the loss of the Pingzhou army to speed up the accumulation of blood energy.
However, what Ke Bi Neng did not expect was that the Pingzhou Army had the protection of the Yanhuang Temple, and the soldiers who died in battle had a high probability of going directly to the Yan Huang Temple to reincarnate as heroic warriors. Ke Bi could collect from the Pingzhou Army His blood energy is extremely limited.
Forced into desperation, Ke Bineng could only turn his attention to Xianbei himself. This is why Ke Bineng's various strange actions can also explain why the Xianbei army massacred Xianbei soldiers and civilians on a large scale.
"Da Shanyu, the city wall has been breached, but the Han army has not dared to come in for the time being. Please show me what to do next!"
A Xianbei general with a slightly crazy expression came to report.
"Hahaha, Han dogs have no guts, they break through the city and dare not enter. Now is the time for us to show our power!"
Kebi can take out a golden crown exuding scarlet blood,
Putting it on his head slowly, he laughed happily.
"Follow the order of the Great Chanyu!" Seeing that Kebi was able to wear the crown, no matter whether it was an ordinary soldier or a Xianbei military general, they all knelt down on the ground with fanaticism and shouted in unison.
"The whole army, meet the enemy!"
After putting on the crown, Ke Bineng's spirit was shaken, his tired eyes suddenly burst into a breathtaking brilliance, and he raised the long knife in his hand and shouted.
Outside the city, the main generals of the Pingzhou Army gathered together, listening to Payne's introduction of the so-called dead energy (blood energy) with serious faces.
According to Payne, death energy is a very important energy in the undead system, and it can largely replace the dark elements to charge the undead army.
However, because death energy contains too many negative emotions, it will seriously affect people's mind. Prolonged contact will make people become brutal and bloodthirsty. In severe cases, they will directly lose their heart and become a madman who only knows how to kill.
And the dead energy can't catalyze high-level undead with normal spiritual intelligence, and even the high-level undead who have already born wisdom will be demonized if they come into contact with the dead energy too much. Undead magic is notorious in the magical civilization, and the necromancers and high-level undead creatures who abused the dead energy to become demons have contributed a lot.
Orthodox necromancers generally would not dare to touch death aura unless they had to.
Of course, death energy can indeed increase the strength of the army to a large extent, which is effective for both the undead army and the living army. It's just that for living beings, using death energy to increase their strength has too serious sequelae, and no one dares to try it lightly.
In addition, such a large-scale and high-concentration concentration of death energy made even Master Payne, who had obtained the inheritance of the undead tyrant, change color. The death aura of this scale is completely beyond Payne's control. According to Payne, only the rumored god of death can control such a strong death aura. Let Payne control such a large-scale dead energy, I am afraid that it will only take a minute or two to be driven crazy by the negative emotions of dead energy!
He even solemnly suggested to Shang Ji that he immediately lead his troops to withdraw and stay away from this area, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.
Of course, it is impossible for Shang Ji to run away. Let alone the mission of "Return of the Soul" is forcing Shang Ji and Xianbei to fight to the death.
"Report to the lord, all the thirty-two main gates of the east city of Touman City are open, and the Xianbei army has come out, and they are currently gathering. I ask the lord to decide how our army will behave!"
Shang Ji and Liu Yi looked at each other, they smiled wryly and were speechless.
In the past, according to Kebi, he could beat violently, but now the retribution is coming. More than half of the Pingzhou Army's troops are infantry groups, and they are basically heavy infantry. It is almost impossible for heavy infantry to escape the pursuit of cavalry on the grassland.
Once the entire army retreats, it is equivalent to abandoning nearly two million elite infantry. Of course, Shang Ji cannot make such a choice. Now the only way left for Shang Ji is to fight to the end!
"Pain, to what extent can death energy strengthen the army?" In the end, Shang Ji turned his head and asked Payne.
Payne hesitated for a moment, and said carefully, "If you don't care about the cost and the consequences, and use extreme means to strengthen, you should be able to increase one or two ranks in a short period of time. If the enemy has any unique means, I'm afraid the effect of the improvement will be even more terrifying. !"
Hearing what Payne said, Shang Ji's heart immediately sank.
The general strength of the Xianbei army, Shang Ji, also knows a lot about it. The Xiongnu Wanqi and Wolf cavalry both start at the fifth rank, and the sixth rank soldiers also account for about 30% of them.
Even if only one step is strengthened, the Pingzhou army will be very difficult to deal with. If all members strengthen two steps...
Shaking his head, he expelled this terrible thought. Shang Ji looked around and saw that although the faces of the people were dignified, they didn't show the slightest timidity, so he couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.
If the main generals of the Pingzhou Army were intimidated by Ke Bineng, then there would be no need to fight this battle.
"Send the order, the whole army is ready for war. Junyi, I will hand over all the infantry to your command. At the same time, I will send Xu Huang, Ge Zhen, Gan Ning, Yang Cheng, Kou Xian, Lu Kuang and other generals to assist you. There will be no other It is required that you can protect yourself under the attack of the Xianbei army, can you do it?!"
Zhang He took a step forward, and shouted loudly: "The general takes orders and vows to complete the task to the death. If the Xianbei want to break through the infantry group, they have to step over the general!"
Shang Ji nodded slightly, turned around to look at Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and other cavalry generals, and shouted: "Everyone, since the establishment of our Pingzhou Army, we have been invincible in every attack, and everything we have with our iron hooves has been crushed. Today is the continuation It's time for me to become a legend of Pingzhou cavalry!"
Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and other cavalry generals immediately raised their chests and roared in unison: "Pingzhou Army is victorious!!!"
