Of course, Yue Linping had no idea what he was about to encounter. He was focused solely on reaching the regional center and rescuing Shi Jian.
Of the eighty-thousand-strong army, half rode warhorses while the other half ran on foot. The System Main City had nearly thirty thousand cavalry, with reserves of a little over forty thousand warhorses.
At this point, they could no longer use the Teleportation Array to reach the regional center, because Zhao Fu had long since ordered the Isolation Grand Formation activated. They could only run there or rely on the strength of their horses.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...
As the eighty-thousand-strong army stepped onto a stretch of flat ground, the Great Qin Soldiers who had long been lying in wait loosed arrow after arrow. The arrow rain blanketed the sky, a pitch-black mass so dense that its numbers could not be counted.
Faced with this immense barrage, countless soldiers' hearts lurched, their hairs standing on end by instinct.
"Quick! Shield Mastery—defend!" Yue Linping shouted urgently.
The countless soldiers reacted swiftly as well, raising shield after shield to form a defensive wall. Soldiers without shields hurriedly took cover behind it.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft...
Countless arrows tore through the sky and poured down like a torrential downpour. Though the System soldiers had formed a defensive wall, there were simply too many arrows, and the attack had come without warning. Quite a few soldiers were still left exposed beneath the arrow rain.
Under such terrifying volleys, blood splashed everywhere and the stench of gore spread. Almost no one could survive; most were struck by countless arrows and died, their deaths gruesome indeed.
The warhorses suffered as well. Their larger bodies made them easier targets. Though they had some simple protection, they still could not withstand the dense arrow rain,
