After the verbal sparring, only the fighting follows. After all, if they could have reached an agreement, things wouldn't be in this state today.
Boom boom boom
With a series of deafening roars, the sky above erupted like fireworks, with streaks of seven-colored light swirling endlessly. The immense power and astonishing shockwaves demonstrated just how intense the battle in the sky was.
Seeing this, Lin Yang inputted another 10% of his true essence, and then with a thud, the attention of the five thousand veterans was immediately drawn to Lin Yang.
"All soldiers, sing with me—'The Song of the Great Wind'."
Thump!
A strong wind rises and the clouds fly.
Knock knock!
My might extends throughout the land, yet I return to my homeland!
Knock knock knock!
Where can we find brave warriors to guard the four corners of the land?
Knock knock knock knock!
Although I don't know what Lin Yang is doing, let them sing. Anyway, all five thousand veterans are Lin Yang's subordinates. It's just asking them to sing a song, what's the big deal?
Moreover, this "Song of the Great Wind" was personally created by Emperor Taizu, and almost everyone in the Han Dynasty knew how to sing it.
With each line sung, Lin Yang would strike the war drum. At this moment, Liu Bang's "Song of the Great Wind" and the sound of the war drum miraculously responded.
"Alas, it's a pity Cai Yan isn't here. Otherwise, if she were playing the zither, the effect would be even better. There's no reason why the future Zhou Yu could do it, but Cai Yan couldn't." Looking at the scene before him, Lin Yang thought to himself.
If Cai Yan had cooperated, there would be no need for all this trouble, and I would have to sing myself. It's so embarrassing!
Gradually, as they listened, the soldiers spontaneously began to sing. Lin Yang, meanwhile, stood by, using the war drum as accompaniment to keep the rhythm.
Seeing the five thousand veterans united and of one mind, Lin Yang was very gratified. It is said that those extremely skilled generals can achieve this unity anytime, anywhere.
Now, with the help of war drums and the well-known "Song of the Great Wind," Lin Yang has finally managed to achieve this effect, albeit with some difficulty.
"Wow, that was brilliant! By using the war drums and the 'Song of the Great Wind,' you directly resonated with the hearts of the soldiers. This is the spirit of five thousand men! With complete unity, it's not impossible for them to kill a fourth-level expert in one blow."
"This is a true general! With a large army at his command, he can suppress all things. That's the kind of spirit we need. It's just a pity that Lord Zhongshan has already flown up to the heavens and can't be reached. Otherwise, my lord would truly be famous throughout Jiangdong this time," Guo Jia said with a smile.

Chapter Nineteen: Let's set it on fire!
"The Secret Art of Military Strategy - Sealing the Heavens".
"Military Secret Technique - Locking the Ground"
As Lin Yang spoke, invisible military energy manifested, transforming into visible chains that tightly sealed off the space within a radius of thirty miles.
At the same time, not only was the space suppressed, but the spiritual energy within a thirty-mile radius was also suppressed in that instant.
This is the domineering nature of military secrets.
"Hmph, this is the power of sealing heaven and earth! After all these years, it's still as domineering as ever. I'm starting to understand your thoughts, Holy Maiden. This child cannot be allowed to live." Looking at the scene in the water mirror, the High Priest was so excited that he even ripped off a beard hair.
The saintess remained indifferent to this, saying that she had seen it all before and was no longer surprised.
Back then, Han Xin used the technique of separating two worlds to directly separate the area of thousands of miles around the Wujiang River from the main world. He artificially created a small world that was separate from the main world.
Besides, isn't it just sealing off the heavens and earth? Is it that difficult? It might be difficult in peacetime, but when a great calamity comes and the cycle of reincarnation begins again, it is almost a standard requirement for every general.
"Sealing the heavens and locking the earth is just a foundation. If we go a step further, and if the quality of these soldiers is even stronger, it can evolve into a net that covers the heavens and the earth. Going even further, it would be the separation of the two realms," the Holy Maiden said calmly.
At the same time, once the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Technique is activated, although Zhong Shanjun can still escape, it will at least delay him for a breath. For a fourth-tier expert, a breath is an amount of time that can be spent on many things.
"Well, so this is what a truly first-rate general looks like? I never would have guessed. But since that's the case, then I won't hold back any longer."
roar
With a beastly roar, Zhongshan Jun instantly transformed into a half-human, half-demon state. His hands became claws, and his head became a tiger's head. Even his feet changed. However, he remained standing.
Looking at the battle in the sky, Lin Yang could only say that it was all too fast and he couldn't understand it at all.
Even with the utmost care, focusing one's true energy on the eyes, one can only see afterimages and streaks of light. As for who has the upper hand and who is at a disadvantage, such profound questions are only known to heaven.
Fortunately, they were only at the fourth rank. Even at the peak of the fourth rank, they were still only at the fourth rank. Therefore, he, a mere novice who had just entered the third rank, could still observe them.
If it were a fifth-tier level, given the enormous difference in life levels, I probably wouldn't even be qualified to be a spectator. Even if they wanted me to see, I wouldn't understand it.
Then, Lin Yang took out a worn-out, gray sword. This sword was missing its scabbard, and the blade was damaged in many places. There were also numerous scratches and marks on the surface.
Then, he channeled his true essence into the object, but it was like throwing a mud ox into the sea—completely ineffective, leaving only a hazy, grayish atmosphere. Lin Yang then shook his head and directly took out his Wu State Duke's seal.
"As the Duke of Wu, I mobilized the dragon energy of the Han Dynasty to suppress the evil spirits."
As soon as he finished speaking, streams of fortune surged rapidly. Then, they transformed into a gigantic golden dragon of fortune, which attached itself to Lin Yang's body.
