High Martial Arts Storm

Chapter 174 Pyrrhic Victory

The Seven Crystal Army, which was charging forward, was filled with murderous intent and boundless fighting spirit.

Meanwhile, the hundreds of soldiers in the group who were only a little over a thousand meters away from the glacier suddenly looked up and saw magnetic storm mines being activated and crashing down from the nearby ice peaks.

escape……

It's too late.

Block...

They'll die even faster.

In just over ten seconds, Xing Tong activated a series of magnetic storm grenades, which were then rapidly slammed into the army of the Seven Crystal People.

The massive explosion killed hundreds of Seven Crystal People, almost all of whom were Red Crystal People. However, the enemy's morale was weakened, and the orderly ranks were disrupted by the explosion, with the long line of soldiers coming to a halt.

On the other side of the glacier.

As the number of Crimson Crystal People and Orange Crystal People dwindled, Yang Haocheng abandoned his killing spree and charged directly at the Yellow Crystal Person fighting Tiger Eagle. Two or three minutes later, Xing Tong returned after completing his mission and also rushed towards another Yellow Crystal Person fighting Fang Qingchuan.

Six Huang Jing people...

Four people have been killed in just ten minutes.

The remaining two Huangjing people completely lost their will to fight. They quickly fled towards the glacier, but were stopped by Chu Xinglun, Chu Xingyue, and Xing Tong.

"Shoot!"

Yang Haocheng also took out his bow and arrows.

He aimed at each of the orange crystal people and kept shooting arrows.

Arrows rained down once more on the icy river, staining the broken ice and water crimson with blood. The Seven Crystal Warriors, who had fled back to the other side of the river, retreated in terror.

"Tiger Eagle, Fang Qingchuan, Lei Zhenfei, follow me across the river to kill the enemy!" Yang Haocheng shouted.

All four were experts at the Battle King realm.

They no longer need aircraft to fly for short periods, so a glacier hundreds of meters wide means nothing to them.

Impact, pursuit.

The four were like four killing machines; the Seven Crystal People who were slow to escape were quickly killed, and the Seven Crystal People who were fast to escape were also eventually killed.

When five Yellow Crystal people rushed up from behind the enemy army, Yang Haocheng had no intention of continuing to fight them. With a loud shout, the four of them pounced on the other two Yellow Crystal people who had been intercepted by Chu Xinglun, Chu Xingyue, and Xing Tong.

The seven men surrounded and killed the two severely wounded Huang Jing people, who only lasted half a minute before being successfully killed.

"Damn human martial artists, today I, the commander, will tear you to pieces!" Boulder was furious when he discovered that all six of his Yellow Crystal generals, who were positioned at the forefront of the army, had been killed. "Charge! Kill all the enemies!"

"withdraw!"

Yang Haocheng roared.

Immediately, the seven quickly returned to the other side of the glacier and stood in front of nearly a thousand human martial artists holding bows and arrows.

Boulder was furious.

However, he did not pursue them, and even stopped the four Huang Jing generals.

He regretted it.

The tragic deaths of six capable generals made him realize that even if he won this battle, his army would likely suffer heavy losses.

only……

Knowing the young city lord's plan, he could only command his army to charge towards the opposite bank of the glacier.

A glacier.

It's no longer an obstacle.

Because there were so many Seven Crystal Man corpses in the river, any Red Crystal Man soldier could quickly cross the river by stepping on the corpses of his comrades.

The fighting became brutal.

As time passed, more than an hour later, the Seven Crystals army had lost seven or eight thousand men, and of the original nearly one thousand human soldiers, more than four hundred had also died.

Boulder made his move.

Faced with the deaths of many soldiers, he led the five Huang Jing generals across the river to the other side.

Chu Xinglun and Chu Xingyue rushed towards Bodel immediately. They were only seven-star Battle King level experts, while Bodel was a nine-star Battle King level expert. So even though the two joined forces to fight him, they were still at a disadvantage.

therefore.

Xing Tong also charged forward.

Yang Haocheng did not charge forward. Although he was only a one-star Battle King, his actual combat strength was comparable to that of a five-star Battle King. Therefore, he chose a Huang Jingren who was comparable to a four-star Battle King.

Time continued to pass, and the fighting became even more brutal.

After Star Eye ripped a bloody gash in Boulder's back, he instantly retreated towards the opposite bank of the glacier, even leaving several wounds on Tiger Eagle as he passed by.

Huang Jingren...

Only four remain.

The other three also retreated with Boulder.

Apart from Yang Haocheng, all the other Battle King Realm experts were injured. Fang Qingchuan was the most seriously injured because he was only a three-star Battle King Realm expert, which was slightly weaker than his previous opponents.

On the other side of the glacier.

A steady stream of Seven Crystal Warriors charged forward. Even though the human martial arts practitioners had seven Battle King level experts, the enemy's numbers were simply too great. Despite their frenzied slaughter, they still couldn't stop the warriors of the two battle camps from dying in battle.

After Yang Haocheng killed two orange crystal warriors, he discovered that most of the warriors in the two battle camps who were at the Battle General level had died in battle, and the remaining four hundred or so were mostly at the Battle Commander level. Even so, almost everyone was injured.

"Retreat! Retreat back to the iceberg behind!" Yang Haocheng shouted.

immediately.

He and Xing Tong and the others began to provide cover.

It took more than ten minutes for the more than 440 warriors from the two battle camps to climb the ice mountain several kilometers away. They took out their bows and arrows and shot down the red crystal warriors and orange crystal warriors who rushed up from their vantage point.

"Can we hold on?" Yang Haocheng asked loudly as he retreated back onto the iceberg.

"Hold on."

Hundreds of soldiers shouted loudly.

"Since you've held on, then kill them all! After the battle, I'll recommend you for credit!" Yang Haocheng shouted, gripping his crescent blade.

Below the iceberg.

The Seven Crystal Warriors, densely packed together, continued to charge upwards.

They still had more than 20,000 people, and behind them, the icy and snowy ground trembled slightly. On the white snow, there were a large number of mutated beasts, most of which were level two mutated beasts, and there were even dozens of level three mutated beasts.

"Waaah..."

The enemy's bugle sounded.

Upon hearing the horn, the Seven Crystal Warriors halted their charge. As they retreated, they created clear paths, their eyes fixed on the opposite bank of the glacier.

On the ice peak.

Yang Haocheng looked at the large number of mutated beasts appearing with a grim expression.

He understands!

This is because the Seven Crystal People have deployed beast tamers in an attempt to control the mutated beasts and weaken their own fighting power.

only……

No more refunds possible!

Otherwise, they would retreat into the flat snowfield.

By then, our side will have completely lost its terrain advantage, and once the enemy sets up their formation, it will become much more difficult to hold it.

"Master, the Snow Leopard Combat Team is about to arrive," Xia Lu said as she rushed over.

"Where is the Snow Fox Battle Camp? How much longer will it take them to arrive?" Yang Haocheng asked.

"It will take another hour and a half," Xia Lu said with a wry smile. "Their base is quite far from here, so it will take a long time to get there."

"Um!"

Yang Haocheng nodded and said, "Send a message to the commander of the Snow Leopard Battle Camp, and tell them to gather all the magnetic storm mines and demon cloud mines. Once they arrive here, bombard the mutated beast horde with them."

"receive!"

A few minutes later.

Just as tens of thousands of mutated beasts charged toward the top of the ice peak, ten armed aircraft finally arrived. With a barrage of electromagnetic cannon fire, a large number of mutated beasts were shot down.

Ten rounds of firing killed more than five thousand mutated beasts.

As the hatch opened, five hundred fully armed soldiers from the Snow Leopard Combat Battalion landed on the ice peak using their aircraft.

"Who is the commander of the Snow Leopard Combat Battalion?" Yang Haocheng asked loudly.

"I am Shi Jianshou, commander of the Snow Leopard Combat Battalion. You must be Commander Yang Haocheng? I have already spoken with your men, and our Snow Leopard Combat Battalion is willing to accept your command," Shi Jianshou said loudly.

"good!"

Yang Haocheng asked loudly, "Are the magnetic storm mines and demon cloud mines ready?"

"A total of two hundred magnetic storm mines and twelve demon cloud mines have all been gathered together," said Stone Sword Guardian.

"Save the Demon Cloud Thunder, use the Magnetic Storm Thunder first, and blast those mutated beasts into the sky!" Yang Haocheng shouted.

"good!"

With the addition of 500 warriors from the Snow Leopard Battle Camp, magnetic storm mines were unleashed upon the ice peaks, blasting away large numbers of mutated beasts. Even those level-three mutated beasts that charged forward were quickly killed by Yang Haocheng and his men.

A dozen minutes later.

Only five or six thousand mutated beasts remained, rushing up to the mountainside of the ice peak.

At this time.

The soldiers of the Snow Leopard Battalion took out their bows and arrows and began to shoot.

"Waaah..."

The Seven Crystal Army launched another attack.

Meanwhile, Boulder and three other Yellow Crystal warriors, who had retreated earlier, charged back in, joined by several hundred Orange Crystal warriors.

The ice peak was quickly destroyed.

Chu Xinglun and Chu Xingyue struggled to withstand Boulder's attacks, trying to buy as much time as possible.

at this time.

Xing Tong, carrying twelve Demon Cloud Thunderbolts, had already flown from mid-air to above the army of Seven Crystal People.

Even though a large number of crossbow bolts were fired at her, they could not harm her in the slightest due to the height of the projectiles.

As the twelve Demon Cloud Thunders were dropped from the sky by Xing Tong, they exploded in the two most densely populated areas of the Seven Crystal Warriors army, not only killing hundreds more Seven Crystal Warriors, but also throwing the Seven Crystal Warriors army into chaos once again.

Yang Haocheng is killing the enemy.

He even felt his hands were getting tired from killing.

Although each swing of the Crescent Blade could kill several Crimson Crystal people, and even a single slash could take the life of an Orange Crystal expert, there were simply too many enemies.

More than an hour later.

Ten more armed aircraft arrived, followed by ten rounds of artillery bombardment, then hundreds of magnetic storm mines and a dozen or so magic cloud mines, and then five hundred Snow Fox warriors joined the battle.

This battle.

The battle was so fierce that the earth shook and the sky darkened.

Blood stained the white snow, and several surrounding ice peaks were shattered.

Half a day has passed.

Severely injured, Boulder led two other Huangjing people to retreat. Chu Xinglun, Chu Xingyue, and Xing Tong originally intended to give chase, but were stopped by Yang Haocheng.

The four battle battalions comprised nearly two thousand soldiers.

After such a long period of fighting, only a little over eight hundred people remained.

Although the Seven Crystal People army has dwindled to less than 10,000 men, and the tens of thousands of mutated beasts have been reduced to only a few thousand, the threat from the enemy remains significant.

"Waaah..."

The enemy's bugle call sounded again.

The Seven Crystal Army began its retreat.

at this time!

Yang Haocheng, Chu Xinglun, Chu Xingyue, Xingtong, Huying, Fang Qingchuan, Lei Zhenfei, Shi Jianshou, and Tan Yue, a total of nine Battle King Realm experts, began to hunt down the fleeing Orange Crystal People and Red Crystal People. They would not hesitate to kill any Beast Tamers they found in the enemy army.

Many mutated beasts lost the control of their beast tamers and began attacking the Seven Crystal soldiers, thus exacerbating the losses of the Seven Crystal army.

"Master, that's enough." Chu Xingyue appeared beside Yang Haocheng, looking at the seven or eight thousand Seven Crystal Warriors retreating like a tide, and sneered, "They have suffered heavy losses and have been disheartened by our attacks. I'm afraid they won't dare to launch another attack against us."

"Um!"

Yang Haocheng did not pursue them further.

Looking at Chu Xinglun and the others who had gathered around, he wiped the blood from his face and said with a hint of regret, "It's a pity we have too few people, otherwise we could have easily annihilated this army of Seven Crystal People."
