I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

Chapter 339



As the Great Shí Kingdom launched an unannounced attack, the great battle between Great Xia and the four empires began.

There were a total of four zones: the northern, southern, northwest, and southwest zones. In other words, wars had broken out everywhere except for the eastern coastal area. It’s truly a case of being besieged on all sides.

The southwest zone was led by the Great Marshal of the Great Xia Empire, Chai Yuxin.

They had a total of one million elite troops, 5,000 martial artists, 40 Innates, and one Grandmaster in command.

This force was formidable no matter where it was placed.

Even a dynasty could have a chance to be overthrown.

However, the enemy they faced was the Great Shí Kingdom, backed by the Great Wu Empire.

They had nearly three million soldiers, tens of thousands of Acquired Realm martial artists, 80 Innates, and two Grandmasters.

In every aspect, they were stronger than Great Xia.

If nothing unexpected happened, this battle was expected to be a loss.

But Chai Yuxin was very confident: “Everyone, although the Great Shí Kingdom’s military strength is stronger than ours in every aspect, the advantage lies with us! As long as they dare to attack, let’s make sure they have no way to return!”

However, the other generals did not object. Instead, they nodded in agreement.

They rubbed their hands together, eager to try their luck.

“Generals, there’s no need to rush!”

Chai Yuxin said with a smile: “We are certain to win this battle. We should give our soldiers below a chance to perform! It’s not just us who want to achieve great feats and make contributions!”

As they looked into the distance, a dark cloud appeared on the horizon.

It was the army of the Great Shí Kingdom, marching mightily into the territory.

They halted when they arrived at 300 zhang in front of the Great Xia army.

Leading them was a burly general seated atop a tall horse, surveying the area with a tiger-like gaze. He shouted loudly, “Is the person in front of us the Great Marshal of Great Xia, General Chai Yuxin?”

“It is indeed I, General Chai Yuxin. Who are you?” Chai Yuxin replied proudly.

“I am the Marshal of the Great Shí Kingdom, Zuo Changming! Today, I lead my troops here, determined to make you…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a hissing arrow flew past his ear with the speed of lightning.

The Great Shí Marshal broke out in a cold sweat. Had his reaction not been swift, he would have lost his head.

Glaring ahead, he said: “Chai Yuxin, what is the meaning of this?”

“It means nothing!”

Chai Yuxin lowered her bow, disdainfully responding: “It was merely a warning that dogs do not have the privilege to speak to this marshal!”

“You!” The Great Shí Marshal was livid with rage.

The people of Great Xia laughed unrestrainedly.

“The marshal is right, dogs have no right to talk to the marshal!”

“Call out the people behind you, you really are not up to the task!”

“Since you’re a dog, then lie down obediently. Don’t come out trying to show off!”

“It will only make us laugh! Haha…”

“You… you deserve to die!” The Great Shí Marshal was furious.

Although he was just a marshal of a great kingdom, far inferior to the status of Chai Yuxin, he thought, at least show me some respect.

After all, behind him stands the Great Wu Empire!

To be mocked in front of the entire army like this was simply unreasonable!

He decided to no longer engage in a war of words and immediately waved his hand, calling his troops to action: “Attack!”

“Attack!” The mighty army charged forward.

The Great Xia side prepared for battle, and Chai Yuxin commanded: “Bring forth the Repeating Crossbow carts!”

Instantly, 50 Repeating Crossbow carts were rolled out, aimed at the approaching Great Shí troops.

Chai Yuxin shouted again: “Fire the bolts!”

Thousands of arrows flew through the air.

In the blink of an eye, the leading 100,000 Great Shí troops fell to this barrage of arrows.

The Great Shí Marshal and his men watched in shock: “What is this weapon, so sharp and deadly?”

You must understand that the troops they brought were elites clad in first-rate armor with strong defenses. Ordinary arrows could not penetrate their armor.

Yet, these crossbow bolts could easily pierce their armor from a hundred zhang away.

Some bolts even skewered their targets like stringing calabashes, which was terrifying.

“Marshal, this is the Mohist Repeating Crossbow cart! This Repeating Crossbow cart is extraordinary, capable of releasing hundreds of bolts in an instant, a terrifying weapon on the battlefield!” A man who looked like a military advisor spoke with authority.

“I see!” The Great Shí Marshal nodded, a hint of worry in his heart.

This Repeating Crossbow cart was too terrifying. Not only was its range extensive, but its lethality was also astonishing.

Sending his troops against it would be tantamount to sending them to their deaths.

“Advisor, do you have any strategies?” The Great Shí Marshal inquired.

The advisor before him had been sent by the Great Wu Empire. Experienced and knowledgeable, surely he would have a solution.

Marshal, there is no need for concern. This Repeating Crossbow truly is extraordinary, it can even threaten Innate masters. However, it has its limitations!

There are three types of bolts: the small bolts can threaten ordinary troops, the large bolts can threaten those who have reached the Acquired Realm level, and the Piercing Bolts can threaten True Qi level martial artists among the Innates!

But as long as we dispatch fighters above the Astral Qi level, they will be helpless against us!”

The military advisor clapped his hands confidently, and immediately, 15 Innates stood up.

All of them were Innate fighters above the Astral Qi level.

“I ask the heroes to take action and destroy their Repeating Crossbow carts!”

“Understood!”

They nodded and charged forward with an overwhelming momentum.

Far from being alarmed, Chai Yuxin was delighted and shouted, “Release the Piercing Bolts!”

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”

A rain of arrows was launched once again.

This time, although there were fewer arrows, they were faster and the force they carried was even more terrifying.

In the blink of an eye, the Innate masters who were at the forefront were blasted by the arrow rain, turning into a mist of blood and leaving not even bones behind.

The people from the Great Shí side were all dumbfounded.

Their Innate masters were finished just like that?

They couldn’t even withstand a single volley of arrows?

How were they supposed to fight now?

The Great Shí marshal turned stiffly, asking in a daze, “Advisor, didn’t you say that as long as we sent out Astral Qi level fighters, they would be helpless against us? Why now…”

“This… I also do not know what has happened!” the advisor said with a pained expression.

The Innates behind him were terrified to the bone, not daring to continue charging forward for fear of losing their lives.

In contrast, the morale of the Great Xia side was greatly boosted.

Chai Yuxin stood tall and proud, her voice ringing out, “My fellow soldiers, as your marshal, I have already said that the advantage is ours! We, Great Xia, are an invincible army. There is no person and no nation that can defeat us! Wherever our blades point, we are unmatched under the heavens!”

“Wherever our blades point, we are unmatched under the heavens!” the soldiers of Great Xia shouted, their morale soaring.

At this moment, one of the generals couldn’t help but joyfully say, “Marshal, this Repeating Crossbow cart is truly remarkable, capable of killing even Innates. No wonder you insisted on acquiring so many of them before. Such foresight!”

“Indeed!” Chai Yuxin said, brimming with pride.

She had personally witnessed the power of the Repeating Crossbow carts and had coveted them ever since.

To obtain more Repeating Crossbow carts, she had spent several nights in the imperial palace, winning over Lin Beifan, which is why she managed to secure 50 Repeating Crossbow carts, far more than any other army.

It was with these divine artifacts that she dared to loudly proclaim that the advantage is ours!
