Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 1000 - 613: Chaotic Battle

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The roaring sound was incessant, the iron fortress of a city trembled as if about to collapse, seemingly destined to turn to ruins under the barrage of the Thunder Fire Stones. The people within could no longer hold back, and the tightly shut city gates swung open, squadrons of elite riders charged out.

Cavalry counterattack!

Since the goal was to destroy the enemy’s machinery, there was no reason for the infantry to go first. A vast cavalry force poured out of the city gates to the east, west, and south, enveloping Xu Yang’s Yellow Turban Army Formation and Thunderbolt Formation, trapping them on all four sides of their camp.

This was by no means an exaggeration, for the enemy had nearly a hundred lords, all of whom were strong figures known on the Reputation List. Even if each only called upon ten thousand troops for reinforcement, they could form an army of millions, certainly more than enough to surround Xu Yang’s mere thirty thousand.

An army of a million, with cavalry numbering over three hundred thousand, now charged towards them, poised to divide the Yellow Turban Army Formation, the Thunderbolt Car Formation, and the camp.

Xu Yang had anticipated this and immediately ordered the Thunderbolt Formation to switch targets and bombard the enemy’s cavalry ranks.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Although they were siege machines, using them against soldiers was almost divine assistance. Given the sheer numbers and dense formation of the enemy, there was no need to aim. Random firing alone would send the enemy flying in disarray, countless elite riders reduced to ashes under the bombardment of the Thunder Fire Stones.

Gongshu Ling’s control of the Super Thunderbolt Car was especially terrifying at this moment. Each round of attack was like a meteor from the sky, smashing into the enemy ranks and inflicting hundreds to thousands of casualties. Ordinary troops or special troops alike were transformed into cold statistics of the dead and wounded.

Let’s not talk about troops; even heroes, Epic Heroes, and even Legendary Heroes couldn’t withstand the horrific damage of the Super Thunderbolt Car. They dared not face it directly, dodging with their agility while exerting all their strength to advance towards the Thunderbolt Car Formation.

Even so, a large number of soldiers and many heroes failed to dodge in time and were turned to dust under the meteoric bombardment of the Super Thunderbolt Car, steadily increasing Gongshu Ling’s enemy kill count.

But this situation did not last long. Leveraging their strong mobility, the cavalry quickly closed in. Tens of thousands of Bow Riders drew their bows and launched a barrage of arrows to suppress the Thunderbolt Formation. Heroes used special skills like Ten Thousand Arrows Fired Simultaneously, raining down arrows like a plague cloud, thickly covering the enemy.

"Raise shields!"

Fortunately, Xu Yang had expected this, and hundreds of Yellow Turban Warriors along with more than fifteen thousand Yellow Turban Foot Soldiers immediately raised their shields to protect against the arrows. The Gongshu Mechanics and Gongshu Disciples in the rear forsook their Thunderbolt Cars and dove into the already prepared Chongche.

Gongshu Chongche

Mechanical Corresponding Rank: First-Order (Epic)

Mechanical Attributes: 100 Protection, 150 Blunt, 80 Piercing, 60 Fire, 50 Poison, Capacity 10/10.

Mechanical Special Skill: Mechanism (can carry ten Engineering Troops, and when all carried troops are Gongshu Disciples, Movement Speed +25%, Attack Speed +50%, if all are Gongshu Mechanics, Movement Speed +50%, Attack Speed +100%)

Mechanical Introduction: A fortress on wheels uniquely crafted by the Gongshu Family, unlike the common Chongche, this one possesses immense power, capable of carrying Gongshu Mechanics to operate Chong Chui, Crossbow Cannons, Rockets, and Poison Arrows within to destroy structures and kill enemies, a truly terrifying piece of siege equipment.

...

Five hundred Gongshu Mechanics and nine hundred Gongshu Disciples entered the Chongche en masse, instantly morphing the Thunderbolt Car Formation into a Charging Car Formation. A barrage of arrows rained down, utterly ineffective against the Chongche with Protection as high as one hundred points.

The only one who didn’t enter the Chongche was Gongshu Ling; the Super Thunderbolt Car, strengthened by the Overbearing Mechanism Hand, had its own Protection attributes. Facing that overwhelming hail of arrows, the young Gongshu Family Master was unfazed, continuously operating the Thunderbolt Car to retaliate, knocking down the enemy cavalry behind their lines.

The Overbearing Mechanism Technique was indeed extremely dominant, but the enemy’s sheer numbers were too great. With three hundred thousand Elite Riders charging, no matter how hard Gongshu Ling tried, the tide was difficult to turn, and inevitable casualties occurred under the enemy’s arrow barrage.

A large number of Yellow Turban Foot Soldiers fell, their shields shattered, succumbing to the enemy’s rain of arrows. Fortunately, the Yellow Turban Magicians retaliated in kind, unleashing Heavenly Fire and Thunder, striking the enemy ranks and causing massive deaths and injuries.

"Magic Type Soldiers?"

"Hmph!"

"Charge, get through!"

"Divide the battlefield, annihilate their soldiers, destroy their war machinery!"

Seeing this scene, the leading Commanders and Battle Heroes were even more determined to split their forces into three groups and break through separately, with Bow Rider Arrows providing cover as the Heavy Cavalry thundered towards the enemy formation.

Just at that moment...

"Boom, boom, boom!"

With the distance closing and before a clash ensued, hundreds of Yellow Turban Bombardiers stood up, protected by Yellow Turban Warriors they vigorously hurled Sky Shattering Bombs in their hands. The explosions of thunder resounded, flesh and blood splattered, and the advancing Heavy Cavalry was blown over by the Sky Shattering Bombs, suffering another wave of casualties.

While the killing power of the Yellow Turban Bombardiers was not as devastating as the Gongshu Thunderbolt Car, they were still a terrifying force against the enemy. A single volley from hundreds of Bombardiers inflicted close to a thousand casualties on the enemy’s Elite Riders.

But that’s as far as it went. Neither Gongshu Ling nor the Thunderbolt Car could alter the course of the battle, and the few hundred Bombardiers could not suppress the enemy forces. More than a hundred thousand Heavy Cavalry charged from all directions, initiating the bloodiest and most brutal slaughter.

"Bang!!!"

The clash of metal resounded like thunder, creating a blinding flash and a wave of blood before the shield wall. The Heavy Cavalry, charging at high speed, collided with the Mana-enhanced Warrior’s Giant Shields, turning both horse and rider into a tangled mess of armored flesh.
