After Zhang Tianlei left, Ye Tian called Xu Hongfei and whispered a few words to him. Then he personally led the army to the place where Xu Hongfei had set up the Smoke Illusion Formation. Because the black city and the cold mountain were on flat ground, the Chang Long Empire's army led by Ye Tian maintained a certain distance from the Smoke Illusion Formation. Because the Smoke Illusion Formation could not be seen when it was not activated, it was just some rock weeds and grass that were placed according to a specific location, mixed in with the weeds was a plant called tear-provoking grass. As long as this kind of tear-provoking grass was ignited, it would cause the eyes of the surrounding people to be filled with tears.
"General Xu?" Do you think that Meng Jiao will fall for it? " At this moment, Ye Tian, who was wearing golden armor, suddenly asked Xu Hongfei, who was beside him.
Xu Hongfei pondered for a moment before answering, "Your Majesty, I think so. Although Meng Gumo is skilled in military matters, he is still a barbarian in blood, and the barbarians and the Berserker Tribe are innately fond of fighting. Once they meet an opponent, their first thought will be destruction, not to mention that the one who is going to meet them is Old General Zhang."
"Hehe, General Xu has seen through us. Let us wait in peace." Ye Tian closed his eyes as he spoke. It was unknown what he was thinking about. Seeing this, Xu Hongfei did not dare to disturb him and quietly retreated to the side.
Two hours later, just as the sky was about to turn dark, there was the sound of fighting coming from afar. Ye Tian suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at Xu Hongfei as he nodded slightly, indicating for him to be prepared.
"Haha, Zhang Tianlei, you can no longer run away. Obediently surrender yourself. This King will not make things difficult for you on account of your age." At this time, Han Li, who was riding on a black steed with an axe in his hand, laughed.
"Hmph, little brat Meng Jiao, when this old man joined the army, you weren't even born yet. You want to catch this old man? Let's see if your stupid Black Cloud Horse can catch up to my White Flame Horse!" Zhang Tianlei coldly snorted as he led his troops away.
"You're courting death, old man, do you really think you're still a Thunderstorm General? You are already old, and actually dare to lead ten thousand people to provoke my fifty thousand strong army, you simply do not know your place, you were lucky enough to escape at the Black River last time, this king will personally take action, no matter what, I will capture you, and when that time comes, I will bring you before that Dragon-Splitting Heaven Child, hehe, your Chang Long Empire's army will retreat without a fight. " Meng Jiao chuckled and increased his speed.
When the ten thousand soldiers led by Zhang Tianlei saw Meng Gumo leading his troops to chase after them, they abandoned their armors and armor one by one and threw away all the heavy and cumbersome items on their bodies. Even Zhang Tianlei's General Flag had been thrown away.
After a while, Zhang Tianlei led the defeated soldiers into the area of the Misty Illusion Array. Because Zhang Tianlei's soldiers had abandoned their armors on the way and were carrying no weight, Zhang Tianlei had already opened up a certain distance with the barbarian army. After Zhang Tianlei and his soldiers had passed through the Smoke Illusion Formation, Meng Jiao led the barbarian army outside the Smoke Illusion Array.
Just as they arrived outside the Illusory Smoke Formation, Meng Zhi signaled the entire army to halt their advance. At this moment, a young muscular man in bronze armor rode up and asked, "Royal father, why aren't you chasing them?"
"Didn't you see that this is the Misty Array? "Our army will be in danger if we rush into it." Meng Zhi said with a gloomy expression.
Haha, Royal Father, what are you afraid of? Our barbarian army is extremely valiant, how could a mere Misty Illusion Array withstand the attack of tens of thousands of our barbarian army? Moreover, that Heavenly Thunder Array is the vanguard general of the Chang Long Empire, if we were to capture him, the entire Chang Long Empire would definitely be shaken. The young man laughed.
"Lang, I know how brave you are in battle, but fighting with brute force alone is not enough. You have to learn how to use your brain." Meng Ge lectured the young man. This young man was Meng Li's only son, Meng Lang, known as the number one warrior of the barbarian race. Although this young man had a simple mind, he was born with great strength, and his commonly used weapons were a pair of meteor hammers. There were rumours that Meng Lang had come up the mountain alone when he was five years old and killed several tigers with his bare hands.
"But did we let that Zhang Tianlei escape just like that?" Meng Lang said unwillingly.
"Hmph, This King wants to capture him. How can I run away?" Pass down the order, the shield soldiers will clear the way, the entire army will advance in an arrow formation, a mere Misty Array is nothing in This King's eyes. " Meng Jiao directly said.
All of the barbarians hid behind their shields like arrows as they charged towards the Illusory Mist Formation. Ye Tian, who was standing far away, sighed as he heard Zhang Tianlei's report and said, "Meng Gel is truly worthy of being called a barbarian king. He was able to come up with such a method to stop the strong bows and arrows and move forward like arrows. No matter how many arrows we arrange, we won't be able to deal with him."
"Could it be that His Majesty has set up a trap in the formation?" Zhang Tianlei asked doubtfully.
"Heh heh, let us not leak any secrets. We will find out once we go and take a look." Ye Tian spoke with unfathomable profoundness.
Soon after, Ye Tian brought the army outside the Misty Illusion Array. At this moment, the smoke was billowing and the situation inside could not be clearly seen. However, waves of exclamations from the barbarians could be heard from within.
It turned out that Meng Zhi had just led fifty thousand barbarian soldiers into the Misty Array, and the smoke was billowing inside. Meng Zhi was a veteran who was well versed in military strategies, so he was confident that he could lead troops under the cover of shield soldiers.
Suddenly, a hundred-meter-tall giant appeared in front of him. This giant looked no different from the barbarian race. However, he was quite tall. Meng Ge frowned as he saw this. He then ordered the entire troop to stop moving forward.
At this time, a rough voice came out of the giant's mouth, "Child barbarian, why aren't you kneeling down when you see this god?" It turned out that this shocking giant was the Barbarian God that the barbarian race had worshipped for generations.
Panic was written all over the faces of the barbarians. Meng Ge snorted coldly and said, "Generals, listen to me. Move forward at full speed. Don't be fooled by the scene in front of you. This is just an illusion created by the Chang Long Empire."
The barbarians calmed down a little when they heard this, but they still hesitated. Seeing the Barbarian King rush forward, Meng Gai immediately became angry, and shouted: "Everyone advance! Those who retreat without permission will be killed without permission. Then, he pushed aside the shield soldiers in front of him and galloped forward at full speed.
The giant suddenly spoke up again, "You little barbarian boy, I have been guarding you for many years. I did not expect that you would be so ignorant as to dare to be rude in front of me. Then, I will bring disaster upon you and let you ants know the consequences of your desecration."
As soon as the giant spoke, countless fireballs fell into the Smoke Illusion Formation from the north, east, and south. The fireballs were about ten feet long, and when they landed on the ground, they exploded, causing countless barbarian soldiers to fall into the sea of fire.
Someone from the crowd shouted, "This is bad, we have truly angered the gods! What should we do now? Are we really going to die here?" The barbarian army was thrown into chaos as soon as they heard these words. They scattered in all directions and fled into the sea of fire.
"Father, what should we do?" Meng Lang appeared beside Meng Zhi, hacking a huge fireball open and asked in a loud voice.
"What else can we do? Order the entire army to pull to the west. Only the west side doesn't have a fire." Meng Zhi said with a gloomy expression.
"However, there is a great fire on all three sides. Only the west side does not have it. Could it be a trap?" Meng Lang hesitated.
"So what if it is a trap? Do you want us tens of thousands of barbarians to be buried in the sea of fire?" Hurry up and send the order! " Meng Zhi shouted in anger.
"Understood." Meng Lang bowed and passed down the order. He then saw Meng Lang run towards the west, dragging the ragged barbarian army with him. Unfortunately, not long after they started heading to the west, the miserable screams of the barbarian army could be heard. The west side of the Smoke Magic Formation was filled with iron nails, and there were also countless traps.
"Damn it, what kind of bastard's idea is this in the Chang Long Empire to actually come up with such a terrible idea to deal with this king." Meng Zhi roared at the sky.
"Father, what should we do now?" Meng Lang asked anxiously.
"What else can we do? Even if we die, we have to charge out. We only have to return to Hanshan and we'll be safe." After saying that, Meng Zhi continued to advance under the protection of his personal guards.
After an hour, Meng Gel finally led the remaining tens of thousands of barbarians out of the illusory smoke array. However, as soon as he left the illusory smoke array, Meng Gel discovered that the army of 100,000 from the Chang Long Empire was already waiting outside the array.
At this moment, a young man wearing golden armor was standing in front of the array and looking at him with a smile. Meng Jiao looked back at the bloody barbarian soldier and said to the young man in a cold voice, "You must be the Dragon Breaks the Heavens. Meng Qing looked back at the bloody barbarian soldier and said to the young man in a cold voice," You must be the Dragon King.
"Hehe, it's me. Since you've admitted defeat, get your men to put down their weapons and surrender. Look at your soldiers, their legs are all bloody. If they were to fight, I only need to give an order and you will all be wiped out." Ye Tian smiled.
"Heh, I never would have thought that I, Meng Jiao, would be stuck here for a while and fall into the trap of a mere Misty Array. How laughable." Meng Zhi mocked himself when he heard this.
"Royal father, we can't surrender. Wait for your son to protect you and slaughter your way out. As long as we return to the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain, we can make a comeback. At that time, we can send troops south and go straight to Chang Long Empire's capital." Meng Lang said.
