#274 - What a death!
Time flowed on, and Qin Liang's Qin army and Qin Buyi's Great Ming Second Army advanced slowly towards He Yan's direction in this entangled state.
Half a month passed.
Inside the Great Ming Second Army's marching camp, Wang Tian looked at the sand table and said to Qin Buyi, "Marshal Qin, after such a long time, we have advanced less than one-tenth of the distance."
"At this rate, even if another two months pass, we may not be able to meet up with Dean He Yan and the others."
Qin Buyi said, "This Qin Liang is too entangled. Even I, who don't understand command, can see his cunning in terms of tactics and battle formations."
Wang Tian nodded with deep agreement and said, "Indeed, this Qin Liang is like a loach, so slippery that people can't grasp him."
"He doesn't fight us head-on, but focuses on delaying, which is really annoying."
Qin Buyi asked, "What is the situation on Dean He Yan's side?"
Wang Tian said, "Reporting to Marshal Qin, Dean He Yan has gradually eroded the Qin army elites on the Great Qin border and is preparing to wipe them out completely in one go."
Qin Buyi said in surprise, "So fast?"
Wang Tian said, "The commander who replaced Qin Liang on the Great Qin side seems to be called Young Master Ling."
"This person doesn't understand anything at all. Dean He Yan can naturally deal with such an opponent with ease."
Qin Buyi said, "I always feel very uneasy. I must tell Dean He Yan to be careful and extra cautious."
Wang Tian said, "Yes, I will convey it to Dean He Yan."
"At first, I felt as uneasy as Marshal Qin, but judging from the current situation, perhaps the Great Qin side is really confused."
"The elites of Great Qin have basically been lost. Even if there are any conspiracies and tricks, with so few elites left after the two countries went to war, what waves can they make?"
Qin Buyi said, "That's true, and what General Wang said is not unreasonable."
"But cultivators have many methods. Maybe this is really a trap set by the other side for Dean He Yan."
Wang Tian said with some doubt, "If this is really a trap set by the other side for Dean He Yan, the price is a bit too high."
Three days passed again.
Wang Tian, who was watching the sand table in the Great Ming Second Army, suddenly trembled, his face revealing disbelief and shock.
Then his eyes became moist, and tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.
Seeing this scene, Qin Buyi quickly asked, "General Wang, what's wrong?"
Wang Tian's eyes instantly filled with blood, and his expression was exceptionally sad as he said, "Dean He Yan... Dean He Yan is dead!"
"Bang!"
The chair Qin Buyi was sitting on shattered, and fragments shot out in all directions.
Qin Buyi said with a hint of murderous intent, "General Wang, tell me what's going on."
Wang Tian's voice was hoarse as he said, "As Marshal Qin expected, this is exactly the trap set by the other side."
"Just now, I received news from the front saying that Dean He Yan led the Great Ming First Army in a general attack this morning."
"Originally, everything was under control, but after the Qin army elites were basically all killed in battle,"
"Dean He Yan led everyone to attack the other side's marching camp."
"When they arrived at the other side's marching camp, that Young Master Ling suddenly revealed the aura of a Half-Immortal Realm and killed Dean He Yan with one blow."
Saying this, Wang Tian handed the jade talisman in his hand to Qin Buyi, saying, "More detailed content is in this jade talisman. Marshal Qin, see for yourself."
Qin Buyi took the jade talisman and probed it with his divine sense, quickly learning all the overall details of this great battle.
The commander of the Qin army elites, Young Master Ling, was originally a Half-Immortal Realm expert who was seriously injured for some reason.
Young Master Ling, who was seriously injured, wanted to recover from his injuries, so he reached an agreement with the Great Qin Emperor.
He came to command the Qin army elites, seemingly not understanding anything and letting the Qin army elites die, but in reality, he was completing a sacrificial formation.
Each time a Qin army elite died, Young Master Ling's sacrificial formation would be completed a little more.
When all the Qin army elites were completely dead, Young Master Ling's sacrificial formation would naturally be fully completed.
Using the blood energy in the sacrificial formation and matching it with secret methods, the injuries on Young Master Ling's body were all recovered.
As a thank you to the Great Qin Emperor for this great gift, Young Master Ling launched a frenzied slaughter against the Great Ming First Army after his injuries were fully recovered.
Dean He Yan, as the commander of the Great Ming First Army, was naturally his primary target, and he died under his cruel methods!
The remaining Great Ming First Army also collapsed under his slaughter.
From morning until now, in less than half a day, the casualties of the Great Ming First Army's soldiers have been nearly one-third.
Among them, the deaths and injuries of Great Ascension Realm experts have exceeded two-thirds, reaching a very astonishing number.
The remaining Great Ming First Army, led by the Jiang family head Jiang Yu, is constantly retreating towards the rear...
After Qin Buyi finished reading everything recorded in the jade talisman, a strong murderous intent erupted from his body.
Images of his time with Dean He Yan flashed through his mind.
This old man took great care of him when Qin Buyi first joined the Great Ming Academy.
He even opened the door wide for the Lan family who followed Qin Buyi. Basically, He Yan would fulfill any needs of the Lan family or Qin Buyi.
After spending a long time with He Yan, although this old man would sometimes reveal some rather cunning aspects, his kindness to Qin Buyi was real.
Qin Buyi took out the spatial ring that He Yan had given him before the war from his storage space.
The spatial ring contained various healing elixirs, as well as several Great Ascension Realm long sabers, and some auxiliary formations.
Looking at the things in the spatial ring, all the memories seemed like yesterday.
The He Yan in his memory seemed to walk out, still with that familiar face, saying to Qin Buyi, "My greatest wish is that you, kid, can take over from me and become the first dean of Great Ming."
Dean He Yan's every move was replaying in Qin Buyi's mind like a movie.
Faced with He Yan's sudden departure, Qin Buyi's heart was filled with sadness, and his murderous intent soared into the sky.
Qin Buyi flew out of the Great Ming Second Army's marching camp and flew at full speed towards the Qin army led by Qin Liang.
The powerful aura attracted the attention of all the Great Ascension Realm experts in the Great Ming Second Army.
The aura fully released by Qin Buyi even made some of the weaker Great Ascension Realm experts feel like they couldn't breathe.
For those Great Ming Second Army soldiers with slightly lower cultivation, there was even a feeling of suffocation.
Qin Buyi's movements immediately attracted Qin Liang's attention.
Qin Lin said to Qin Liang, "Marshal Liang, the Great Ming Second Army commander Qin Buyi is killing his way towards us."
Qin Liang said with a solemn expression, "I know. Notify everyone to switch to the Iron Bucket Battle Formation."
Qin Lin looked at Qin Buyi, who was full of murderous intent, and asked in confusion, "Is the Great Ming Second Army preparing to completely go to war with us?"
Qin Liang said, "I don't know. Judging from the current situation, something must have stimulated them."
