Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1614 - 1618: The Dragon Clan’s Defeat and Retreat

"General, what's going on here? We can't even see who is wielding such powerful True Qi! What should we do?"

Beside General Shang Yun, several commanders showed extreme tension. It was their first time encountering such an event.

"I don't know either. When did East State, Hua City, produce such a formidable figure?"

Shang Yun frowned deeply and said, "Based on the information we received, Hua City's garrison commander is Qin Tian, who defeated General Xuanji last time by sheer luck. This time... even if he's good at tricks, his cultivation absolutely cannot be this strong!"

Shang Yun was utterly puzzled.

But at this moment, True Qi Bombs whistled from Hua City, landing one after another in the Dragon Clan's army formation. Instantly, the True Qi Power exploded, affecting countless Dragon Clan soldiers!

And at this moment, the Dragon Clan's vanguard that was originally attacking in the front stalled due to the chaos in their rear formation.

The battlefield situation thus turned sharply downward, and the Dragon Clan's army, caught in panic, lost morale for a while!

On the gate tower of Hua City, Qin Tian saw this scene and immediately shouted, "Second Brother, fire! Fire hard! Two cannons at the Central Army, two cannons at their vanguard. Leave them with no way back!"

"Got it!"

Lin Yu saw the effectiveness of the True Qi Cannon and secretly rejoiced. He personally operated a cannon, "Fire!"

The four cannons fired nearly a hundred rounds in succession, instantly disrupting the orderly left, center, and right formations of the Dragon Clan's army.

Qin Tian saw the chance to counterattack from the gate tower and immediately called Zhao Lanjin over, "Old Zhao, let's each lead ten thousand of our direct lineage troops—your side from the right, mine from the left—attack their Central Army directly after leaving the city. What do you say?"

"Good! Their formation is in chaos now. It's the perfect time for our counterattack!" Zhao Lanjin nodded in agreement.

Qin Tian turned back and instructed Lin Yu to use the True Qi Cannons for cover while he and Zhao Lanjin immediately assembled their elite forces.

The five thousand trained by Qin Tian had much stronger combat capabilities than those of East State.

Among them, twenty thousand were carefully selected and trained by both Qin Tian and Zhao Lanjin—what Qin Tian referred to as his "direct lineage troops."

These twenty thousand represented the elite of Qin Tian's forces! They were the hallmark of Qin Tian's troop!

Now, Qin Tian and Zhao Lanjin each led a force to directly confront the Dragon Clan's army!

Creaaaaak!

As the Dragon Clan's army was caught in a predicament by the True Qi Cannon fire outside Hua City's gate tower, the city gate opened!

While the Dragon Clan's army hadn't realized what was happening, a large batch of East State soldiers poured out of the city gate, their battle cries resounding through the air!

"Follow me! Charge!"

Leading the charge at the forefront, Qin Tian wielded a large blade, rushed out at lightning speed with his entire body shielded by True Qi!

If gods or demons dared to block the way, he would cut them down!

Those Dragon Clan soldiers, unable to withstand the onslaught!

Especially since their formation was already in disarray, Qin Tian led ten thousand from the left, slaughtering along the path, forcing the Dragon Clan's vanguard to fight and retreat.

At the same time, the other force led by Zhao Lanjin responded to Qin Tian's attack from the right. The two forces advanced side by side, forcing the Dragon Clan's vanguard into a continuous retreat!

"Only Long Tianwu's troops could maintain such order while retreating in a disadvantageous situation; Long Tianwu is truly remarkable!"

On Hua City's gate tower, Zuo Yuanhao watched the retreating formation of the Dragon Clan's army and repeatedly expressed amazement.

Meanwhile, his gaze fell on Qin Tian, eliciting further praise: "The Governor's troops are so formidable; they've managed to suppress the Dragon Clan's army like this... Amazing, no one in East State could do it! I made the right choice!"

While Zuo Yuanhao felt pleased in his heart, Qin Tian had already led his forces close to the Dragon Clan's Central Army.

Zhao Lanjin's attack was slightly blocked, but it didn't cause much trouble.

At this moment, the Flying Beast Soldiers and Flying Dragon Soldiers in the sky shifted from long-range shooting to close combat. The sky was packed with giant beasts roaring and True Qi colliding in an intense battle!

Qin Tian had long set his sights on Shang Yun in the Dragon Clan's Central Army tent and charged forward. With his cultivation, no one could stop him.

Shang Yun had already taken notice of Qin Tian and nodded, "That must be Qin Tian from the East State's City Guard Army. Truly a hero among youth!"

"General, do we fight or retreat? They're encircling us from both sides, and there are eighty thousand troops in Hua City gathering at the gate. General, should we fight to the death with them?"

A close officer loudly asked Shang Yun.

Shang Yun looked around at Qin Tian's troops, noticing their high morale. Above, the mysterious True Qi Bombs fell among the Dragon Clan's troops, causing more commotion.

"We were careless today... Continuing this fight might turn unfavorable. Let's retreat; head back eighty miles to Shitian City for respite and report today's unusual events to His Highness. It's too strange! Withdraw in batches!"

Shang Yun issued the retreat command, and the Dragon Clan's army began to contract their formation.

Qin Tian had originally planned to approach Shang Yun, but seeing Shang Yun's precautions and withdrawal under the protection of heavy Personal Guards, he knew defeating Shang Yun was impossible.

So, Qin Tian and Zhao Lanjin combined their forces, pursuing the retreating Dragon Clan's rear and capturing numerous spoils and over a hundred Flying Dragons!

Qin Tian chased after Zhao Lanjin, pursuing roughly thirty miles before deeming it enough.

This battle turned out victorious for them.

Annihilating over twenty thousand Dragon Clan troops while losing only around five thousand of their own was indeed a significant victory!

Shang Yun returned to Shitian City and immediately dispatched reports of the "extraterrestrial expert" they encountered today urgently to Long Tianwu. He had only forty thousand soldiers left, including nearly ten thousand wounded.

Facing losses now, he held no certainty about capturing Hua City, which he initially sought with determination.

He recalled Long Xuanji's kind reminders before the campaign, urging him to be extremely cautious, describing Qin Tian as cunning and tactically astute, a rare military genius in the Tianyuan Dynasty.

Back then, Shang Yun laughed heartily and said:

"General Xuanji, don't be afraid of shadows from the past. That Qin Tian is reportedly only about thirty; however fierce he might be, he can't defy heaven, can he? Don't worry, this time I'll avenge you and restore your honor!"
