Chapter 2692 Two Tigers Join Forces to Fight a Powerful Enemy, Xing Tian Bravely Battles the Zombie Ancestor
In this battle, Ji Chengfu faced Xue Rengui's army, which had suddenly appeared and was well-rested. He initially won but then suffered a defeat, losing more than 10,000 of his 30,000 cavalrymen on the spot.
Moreover, this was after Ji Chengfu realized he had fallen into Xue Rengui's trap. He never intended to fight Xue Rengui, but only thought about breaking out of the encirclement as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, Ji Chengfu's casualties would have been even greater, much greater.
After all, Ji Chengfu knew very well that his side was an exhausted army that had just finished a major battle, while the enemy was an army that had been planning for a long time and was waiting in comfort.
Besides, they were in a hasty resistance and didn't even have a basic formation, so how could they possibly put up a fight?
If we don't think about breaking out immediately and instead grit our teeth and fight this battle, there is absolutely no chance of winning; it will only increase casualties.
As a renowned general, the most important thing is to be able to recognize the current situation and the gap in strength between the two sides, so as to make the most rational decision.
Of course, besides the casualties among the soldiers, what pained Ji Chengfu the most was the death of the veteran general Lei Zhaohai.
The death of such a veteran, a renowned general who had served in the army for decades, was a tremendous blow to the morale of the Great Qian army.
In fact, in this battle, judging solely from the lineup of powerful generals, Ji Chengfu's side was not bad, and even had the advantage.
From the very beginning, Da Qian's strategy was to open up the situation through Ji Chengfu's route, which was the route of the proactive attack.
In contrast, Jiang Ziya on White Wolf Ridge and Yao Xiong in the Northern Frontier had the advantage of terrain.
Although it's impossible to transfer all the top generals in the country here, especially since Bai Qi, who is facing Jiang Ziya, is accompanied by Li Cunxiao, who is at the peak of martial arts.
However, in the allocation of powerful generals, it was inevitable that resources would be tilted towards Ji Chengfu's side to some extent.
Along Ji Chengfu's journey, six people reached the level of Divine General: Jiang Chen, Yu Da, Yu De, Jiang Shengxu, Lei Zhaohai, and Deng Kai.
Although apart from Jiang Chen and Jiang Shengxu, the remaining four were all beginner-level god-level warriors, no matter what, six god-level warriors would definitely be a very important force on any battlefield, a force of great significance.
As for Xue Rengui's side, they are actually not at a disadvantage in terms of fierce generals; in fact, they even have an advantage.
Along his journey, Xue Rengui not only had himself as a master general, but also had four other master generals under his command: Xing Tian, Deng Jiugong, Huang Feihu, and Huang Tianhua.
On the surface, it seems like there's one less in quantity, but in terms of quality, it's incomparable to what Ji Chengfu's side could offer.
After all, Ji Chengfu's side would need to send at least two people to deal with Xing Tian, a final-level True God General, and one of them would have to be Jiang Chen, the strongest among the six.
This is merely a response, simply blocking Xing Tian, not aiming for a draw. In fact, if the fight were to drag on for a long time, with only one person cooperating with Jiang Chen, the outcome might not be optimistic for them.
Besides Xing Tian, a final-level true god general, Deng Jiugong in the Eastern Lands is also no ordinary initial-level god general. There are also Huang Tianhua and Huang Feihu, who are quite powerful among initial-level god generals.
Not to mention, Huang Tianhua and his son Huang Feihu also have the amplification of their combined skills, which further enhances their combat power.
Therefore, overall, although Xue Rengui's side appeared to be missing a divine general, in terms of quality, it definitely surpassed Ji Chengfu's side. However, Deng Jiugong was unable to participate in this battle.
At this point, even if Deng Jiugong wanted to participate in this battle, he was powerless to do so.
In the previous battle, Deng Jiugong was not only seriously injured, but also poisoned by Yu De's magic. And how long has it been since the last battle? Not even half a month.
Given Deng Jiugong's current condition, how could he possibly participate in this battle?
It was precisely because of the lack of such a crucial force that Xue Rengui was at a disadvantage in this battle against a powerful general.
In particular, in this battle, Jiang Shengxu alone managed to hold back two top masters, Huang Feihu and Xue Rengui.
As someone listed on the Hundred Poisons List, there are few in the world who do not fear him.
Both practiced the path of poison, but his poison and Yu De's poison were completely different.
Although Yu De's poison, if he so desires, possesses terrifying wide-area destructive power, its single-target damage is relatively limited. After being poisoned, there is still some time before death.
There was ample time for treatment during this period.
Jiang Shengxu, however, was the complete opposite. Like Jormungandr, once poisoned by him, even if one didn't die on the spot, most would only have the time it takes for an incense stick or two to burn.
At this point, even if there were a renowned healer nearby, there might not be enough time to save him.
Therefore, although Jiang Shengxu was a high-level god-level warrior, his close combat ability was not strong. However, he still managed to make Xue Rengui and Huang Feihu wary of each other when they joined forces, and they dared not fight him with all their might.
Even when outnumbered two to one, they were still being suppressed by Jiang Shengxu.
Even more tragically, during this time, the Han general Pang Shou attempted to launch a sneak attack on Jiang Shengxu, but not only did he fail, he also got himself killed. He was knocked off his horse by a single blow and trampled to death. Xue Rengui and Huang Feihu didn't even have a chance to rescue him.
After all, while Jiang Shengxu's close combat strength is weak, it is only weaker compared to god-level generals of the same level. It does not mean that anyone below the god-level general level can come and cause trouble.
Especially Pang Shou, who doesn't even have the strength of the Heavenly Realm, the difference in strength between the two can be described as heaven and earth.
Even with such a disparity in strength, his rash intervention in this battle would not only fail to help Xue Rengui and Huang Feihu, but might even become a hindrance.
Even when cooperating against an enemy, the skill gap between them must be within a reasonable range. If the gap is too large, the two sides may not even be able to cooperate.
However, compared to Huang Feihu and Xue Rengui, who were only able to engage in skirmishes and entanglements out of fear and were unwilling to fight freely, Xing Tian was much more assertive.
He single-handedly stopped three god-level generals, Jiang Chen, Yu De, and Deng Kai, and even showed a trend of becoming stronger as the battle progressed, fully demonstrating Xing Tian's strength as a veteran true god-level general.
