Elsewhere, beyond the camp, those generals who had already retreated to the rear were horrified by the power of Huang Qi's lightning arts. Yet, straining their eyes and using the campfires around the camp that had not been knocked over, they could vaguely make out that the enemy had only a few thousand men.
On their side, the armored soldiers who had surged out at this moment alone already numbered more than thirty thousand.
At this distance, even if the Heaven-Answering Army had reinforcements behind them, there was certainly no time for them to arrive. These few thousand men would soon be swallowed by the sea of troops.
When one side outnumbered the other severalfold, assuming the armies were of comparable quality, it became a completely one-sided slaughter.
Even those armored soldiers who had charged forth heedless of death saw that the enemy numbered only a few thousand, and their eyes turned red.
Because this was practically military merit delivered right to their doorstep.
Though they had no idea what this strange formation the enemy had arranged was all about, nor why the weapons in their hands were so short, it was undoubtedly a good thing.
The negative emotions that had built up over many days of failed sieges and the constant deaths and injuries of their comrades erupted in full at this moment. Like a volcano that had lain dormant for ages, it instantly sent the allied soldiers' blood rushing to their heads, leaving them with no thought beyond killing the enemies before them.
As they watched the sea of men charge at them like tigers and wolves, a mere two thousand men faced a human tide made up of tens of thousands. Even without weapons, sheer trampling would have been enough to crush those two thousand to death.
