Chapter 274: Chapter 274: This Man Is Invincible, Against Heaven\'s Will!

However, Zhong Shan was standing far from the main army, and Wu\'an was even farther away. Despite extending his divine sense, he could only reach where Zhong Shan was standing. Further ahead, he could vaguely sense some figures, but he wasn\'t certain.

"How many troops, you\'ll find out soon enough. It all depends on General Wu\'an\'s courage, how many troops he\'s willing to send me," Zhong Shan smiled.

Wu\'an hated it when others remained calm and composed, leaving him uncertain. However, Wu\'an thought that with his 500,000 troops against Zhong Shan, who had only been a princess\'s guard for a few years, the Great Luo Dynasty couldn\'t have given him too many troops.

With this in mind, Wu\'an waved his hand, leading his army slowly towards Zhong Shan\'s direction.

As the army advanced, Wu\'an\'s divine sense covered even further distances.

Only ten thousand? Just ten thousand?

No, there\'s another ten thousand there?

Wu\'an looked around suspiciously. Zhong Shan had dispersed his forces.

A sense of foreboding grew stronger in Wu\'an\'s heart as he watched Zhong Shan\'s still smiling face. He really wanted to slap Zhong Shan to death because that smile was putting too much pressure on Wu\'an.

Finally, after Wu\'an discovered the presence of 200,000 troops, and there were no more ambushes ahead, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It\'s just a bluff!"

"Charge!" Wu\'an ordered.

The army under Wu\'an\'s command swiftly ran through the mountains towards the distance. Some who could fly on swords also rushed towards the distance.

On a distant mountain peak, Zhong Shan waved his hand.

"Fire!"

Countless breaking the void arrows shot from afar, directly towards the cultivators flying in the sky.

Bang, bang, bang...

A group was shot down, but it also exposed Zhong Shan\'s subordinates. Wu\'an\'s troops quickly took out their own breaking the void arrows.

Roar, roar, roar...

For a moment, Zhong Shan\'s soldiers roared excitedly. Not only Zhong Shan\'s troops, but also the countless mountain valleys behind Zhong Shan echoed with cheers. At the same time, suddenly, on countless mountain peaks, Zhong Shan\'s flag appeared.

The character "Zhong" was raised high.

Zhong! Zhong! Zhong!

... The flags with the character "Zhong" covered the mountains and valleys.

"Oh no, a million troops, we\'ve been tricked," Wu\'an suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Retreat!"

With a single command, Wu\'an\'s army immediately turned around and fled. Tricked by an ambush with a million people? They weren\'t staying for that.

"Good, good, good, just you wait!" Wu\'an left behind a string of harsh words and quickly flew away.

With a wave of Zhong Shan\'s hand, the pursuit of ten thousand troops ceased, and they all cheered loudly.

"Oh~~ Oh~~~ Oh~~~"

They celebrated their victory joyously.

At this moment, Zhao Chuan flew over from a distance.

"General, so this is how the banners are used. In this round alone, we\'ve killed at least twenty thousand enemy troops. Why did you only allow half of our soldiers to shoot arrows?" Zhao Chuan asked excitedly.

"Shoot them all? What if Wu\'an figures it out? Bluff with reality, and reality with bluff. Killing twenty thousand is enough; if they figure it out and turn around, we could lose a hundred thousand," Zhong Shan said solemnly.

"Understood!" Zhao Chuan quickly returned.

"Well, those remaining troops should stop waving flags and shouting. Get ready to leave here immediately," Zhong Shan said.

"Why? This place has excellent terrain! Besides, Wu\'an wouldn\'t dare to come back," Zhao Chuan said.

"What if he comes to his senses? Dealing with him later when he\'s exhausted is not as good as leaving now. Quickly!" Zhong Shan replied.

"Yes!" Zhao Chuan immediately went to make arrangements.

Zhong Shan led the two hundred thousand main army and the remaining one hundred thousand wounded soldiers away from the area. Although they didn\'t fight much in this battle, they managed to annihilate twenty thousand enemies while only suffering a few dozen minor injuries.

Not a single death, yet they wiped out twenty thousand enemies. All the soldiers were extremely excited.

General Wu\'an fled in a panic with his army, quickly returning to the city of Wushuang.

In the lord\'s mansion of Wushuang City, Wu\'an paced back and forth with a furrowed brow, lost in thought.

A million troops, all for a city like Wushuang? The Great Luo Dynasty actually sent a million troops.

Is the Great Luo Dynasty going all out?

But that\'s not right, is it? Although Zhong Shan is exceptionally talented, he\'s not qualified to command a million troops. Zhong Shan, although talented, had only recently emerged. To command a million troops, one would need significant achievements.

However, Zhong Shan is too strange; Wu\'an had to consider it.

Although Wu\'an was suspicious, he didn\'t regret his decision to retreat.

After thinking for a while, Wu\'an ordered a subordinate, "Go, send a scout back to take a look, and come back quickly to report to me."

"Yes!" The subordinate who had been waiting beside him quickly responded and hurried out.

After waiting for two more days, the scout returned.

"How is it?" Wu\'an asked anxiously.

"There\'s no one, only the corpses of our troops who were shot with arrows, the arrows are still in them," the scout reported.

"Collect the bodies," Wu\'an ordered.

"Yes!" The scout immediately complied.

Wu\'an paced back and forth in the hall, thinking for a moment. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh, "Oh no, we\'ve been fooled!"

"What\'s wrong, General?" A nearby subordinate asked immediately.

"They left in such a hurry that they didn\'t even retrieve the shot arrows. They must have fled in a panic. There are only two hundred thousand of them, how did I not realize?" Wu\'an regretted bitterly.

"General is wise; you can deduce the enemy\'s numbers just by the feathers of the arrows," a subordinate quickly flattered.

Looking at the subordinate, Wu\'an\'s mood improved, "That\'s right, only two hundred thousand. We didn\'t finish them off last time, so let\'s finish them off next time. Only two hundred thousand?"

"Reporting to the general, the people from the Great Yu Dynasty have already started collecting the bodies," the scout respectfully said.

Zhong Shan nodded at the scout and waved his hand, dismissing him.

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Shan sighed softly, "It seems that I have overestimated Wu\'an before. He\'s so slow to react, only starting to collect bodies now. This person is invincible, against all reason!"

Invincible, against all reason?

Zhao Chuan glanced strangely at the others, and the other generals were equally puzzled.

"General!" Shui Wuhuan looked at Zhong Shan with some questions.

But Zhong Shan was in a great mood now, "From now on, call me Grand Marshal!"

"Yes, Grand Marshal!" The generals immediately responded.

Grand Marshal? Does that mean the general is already confident of victory?

"Grand Marshal, you just said this person is invincible, against all reason. Does that mean the Grand Marshal already has a plan?" Shui Wuhuan asked excitedly.

"I had the plan all along, but I didn\'t expect the enemy general to be so incompetent, which makes it even easier to deal with. By the way, how did the task I assigned you go?" Zhong Shan asked.

"The two groups of remaining troops should arrive soon. Although they are heavily injured, with enough time and sufficient medicine, they should be able to recover. There are a total of three hundred and fifty thousand troops," Shui Wuhuan said.

"Good. Wuhuan, these three hundred and fifty thousand troops will temporarily be under your command. Together with the previous ones, you now command a total of four hundred and fifty thousand troops," Zhong Shan smiled.

"Thank you, Grand Marshal!" Shui Wuhuan took a deep breath, deeply moved.

While Zhao Chuan and the others looked envious. How could they not be envious? Commanding four hundred and fifty thousand troops? Although it\'s only a temporary appointment for now, once you achieve meritorious deeds in the future, the court will recognize your existence, and then the official appointment will come.

Zhong Shan appointed Shui Wuhuan because he had already seen through him during this period and felt that he could become his ally. It was also time to cultivate his power.

Four hundred and fifty thousand troops might not seem like much now, but they would definitely be of great use in the future.

"Grand Marshal, what do we do next?" Zhao Chuan asked immediately.

"We wait!" Zhong Shan said.

"Wait for what?" Zhao Chuan asked, puzzled.

"We wait for recovery and training. I want the forty-five thousand remaining troops to become elite soldiers, and at the same time, I\'m waiting for a certain result," Zhong Shan smiled.

After the forty-five thousand remaining troops were well-rested, combined with the first battalion of the Grand Xuan Army, Zhong Shan would have a total of six hundred and fifty thousand troops.

Zhao Chuan was filled with emotion. The prince asked him to assess this person\'s ability. If he was incapable, he would be dismissed at the right time. Dismissal? There\'s no talk of dismissal now. How long has it been? His power is already enough to surpass the first battalion of the Grand Xuan Army, and even the soldiers of the first battalion listen more to Zhong Shan than to himself and the prince.

"What result are we waiting for?" Zhao Chuan asked.

"Hehe, that\'s also the task I\'m about to assign to you." Zhong Shan said.

After saying that, Zhong Shan waved his hand, and four hundred invitations appeared on the table in front of him.

"What is this?" Zhao Chuan asked, puzzled.

"These four hundred invitations are to be sent out immediately. They are for the leaders of all the sects, the leaders of all the people\'s groups, and the heads of all the families in the vicinity. One for each person, according to the previous information, I have sorted out four hundred invitations," Zhong Shan said solemnly.

"What are these for?" Zhao Chuan asked, puzzled.

"These four hundred invitations are for our army, our siege army. Send someone to deliver each letter directly into the hands of the recipient, without any deviation on the way. Only when it\'s confirmed that each person has received it, can you come back. This is of the utmost importance, and there can be no mistakes," Zhong Shan said solemnly.

"Yes!" Zhao Chuan immediately responded.
