Nothing noteworthy here, whether crushed by the iron tide, scorched by flames, or devoured by demons, the dead are simply dead.
The Divine Teachings had initially planned a hammer-and-anvil tactic, intending to attack from both front and rear. However, the Immortal Palace couldn't hold the line, allowing Qingyang's assault group to charge all the way in. By the time they reached the third line of the central army, the two front line formations had already collapsed behind them, and the central army's six battalions hadn't even organized reinforcements to come out! It was questionable if anyone even noticed their predicament!
The central army was just as unprepared. This wasn't the result of a surprise attack; it appears that General Anxi truly does not have the same command abilities as his father.
