Chapter 18: Battle Formation

At this moment, the overall situation on the battlefield favored the Qin Army. Despite the advantageous terrain held by the Chu Army, their total military strength was inferior to that of the Qin Army. Moreover, there were too many new recruits among the Chu forces, with many experiencing their first taste of combat today.

These new recruits had never encountered such a scene before, facing an onslaught of Long Spears from the enemy, and their ambitions of making a name for themselves in battle had long been abandoned.

Were it not for the watchful eyes of the Military Judge behind them, many might have abandoned their weapons and fled. The Qin Army, seasoned from years of military expeditions, consisted mostly of battle-hardened veterans, naturally possessing superior individual strength compared to the Chu Army.

Wang Hong's advantage was only a small one in this localized area. In a battle involving tens of thousands of people, individual prowess struggled to change the overall picture.

The key to the formation was a strong vanguard, and with Wang Hong obstructed, the Qin Army quickly surrounded them, launching a fierce attack on the flanks. Although the flanks resisted vigorously, over time, this formation would inevitably suffer losses and could not hold out for long.

The Hundred-Man Commander on the opposing side, despite possessing considerable physical strength, fell short in overall strength compared to Wang Hong, who was at the Innate Stage.

Furthermore, Wang Hong had yet to unleash his Inner Strength. When infused into the Long Spear, Inner Strength emitted a glare over a foot long, which was too dazzling.

Wang Hong was reluctant to reveal that he had reached the Innate Realm at the age of sixteen, as it would easily draw unwanted attention.

Throughout the battle, Wang Hong relied on the strength of his physical body. Once he used Inner Strength, it would be easily detectable, and mere Acquired Stage warriors would stand no chance against him.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

After exchanging blows for a dozen moves, Wang Hong skillfully evaded a sweeping attack from the burly warrior and, capitalizing on his opponent's exposed vulnerability, thrust his spear through the throat.

With the Hundred-Man Commander defeated, Wang Hong faced no further hindrance. Like a hot knife through butter, he quickly pierced through the small formation, with Fang Hong and the Hundred-Man Commander leading separate teams to continue pursuing the remaining enemy forces.

The Qin Army, true to its reputation as a formidable force with a history of numerous battles, remained organized even after being split in two. Despite the death of the Hundred-Man Commander, they resisted and did not scatter.

Before Wang Hong could dispatch more Qin Army soldiers, another formation emerged from the rear and advanced towards them.

Wang Hong swiftly joined forces with the Hundred-Man Commander, reorganizing their formation into a smaller one.
