Nor did they expect that Chen Ping's personal strength and charisma would be so formidable.
Not only did the Tuoba Brothers, leading twenty thousand cavalry, fail to stop him, but even the experts under Divine Master Duran's command could not halt his advance.
However, no matter how unexpected, surprise tactics can only have an element of surprise.
After the last encounter, believing he knew both himself and the enemy, Yuwen Zao thought he would never give the opponent any hope again.
'Whether in terms of military strength, elite soldiers, or the exquisite military formations, you can't compare to me, so how can you engage me head-on?'
Most importantly, Divine Master Duran had said that during the recent confrontation, both sides fought hard, and although he himself was injured, it would be hard to recover in one day.
But, the injuries Chen Ping sustained were even more severe, nearly damaging his foundation.
To completely recover in just one night was impossible.
