Chapter 20 Section five

Xie Cheng and his 2,000 Yulin Army advanced on the field, and around him, there were nine other legions of equal size.The 10,000 well-equipped Habayashi Army and the 10,000 Jinwu Guards who have just set foot on the battlefield, each of them is holding that kind of black thousand machine crossbow, equipped with 30 iron arrows, 600,000 iron arrows are released continuously, What a majestic stream of iron it would be. The Jinwu Guards were more excited than the Habayashi Army. These young people from aristocratic families wore expensive military armor with the family emblem tattooed on their chests. They whispered to each other while marching, eagerly pulling the crossbowstring.

Xie Cheng could already see the open mouth of Dangyang Valley, where the smoke and dust filled the air, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky and the earth. The scout Pegasus came back, pointed to the front and shouted: "There are two miles ahead and the border of the king's domain! General Huaye of Chunguo is fighting with Liu Wenzhi, the left minister of Liguo. Back this way!" The herald also rushed over like a whirlwind: "General Shu Wenyi ordered Yulin to march at full speed without delay! Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!" "Can you still catch up?" Xie Cheng asked lightly.

"Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!" The herald threatened with widened eyes. "Understood!" Xie Cheng waved his hand violently, "March at full speed! Those who fall behind will be punished with military sticks!" The whole legion was forced to speed up the pace, and the Jinwu Guard legion, which was originally at a comparable speed, was dragged down.The leader of the Jinwu Guard Corps shouted orders, forcing these pampered and pampered children of aristocratic families to speed up their pace.Xie Cheng watched those young people staggering forward with cold eyes, the arrogance they had just before disappeared in an instant, leaving only heavy panting in the phalanx.

Hua Ye immediately stood on a high place, watching Fenghu divide into small groups and chase after the crumbling red brigade infantry.Even the elite infantry from the country will find it difficult to stand firm without a commander.For the wind and tigers, the victory has been established, and the rest is just to expand the results.Hua Ming immediately stood behind Hua Ye's back with a heavy knife in his hand. He was panting heavily, the blood on the huge knife hadn't solidified yet. "I shouldn't have sent you to fight..." Hua Ye shook his head, "Ordering them not to pursue, the enemy has lost their fighting spirit, chasing and killing now will not only mess up our own formation, but also unnecessary. Our top priority is to go straight to the Go to Shangyang Pass and support Bai Yi's army."

"Yes!" Huaming replied loudly. Before he led the horse away, he saw several ancient books tightly held in his father's hands.Those volumes were stained with the blood of Liu Wenzhi, the left minister of the Li Kingdom. Hua Ming shot Liu Wenzhi with an arrow, and the morale of the Li army immediately collapsed.Hua Ye rode into the camp of the Li army, and saw Liu Wenzhi's dead body lying on the ground.It was too late for Li Jun to take away his body, and he was still holding the three volumes of books that Hua Ye sent someone to return.Hua Ye stood silent for a moment, went up and took down the three volumes, covered Liu Wenzhi's body with his own military flag, got on his horse and left.

Hua Ming galloped down the high ground.He felt a little confused, but he didn't want to think about it too much. He had already followed his father to the battlefield, so he had to fight to the death like this. Yuan He brandished his saber and charged at the forefront.His horse is the best among the soldiers in the same battalion, and it runs like lightning, and the withered and yellow field in late autumn moves back quickly under his horse's hooves, which makes him feel that all the blood in his body is open.This kind of frenzied running and fighting is too rare for Feng Hu who has been silent for a long time.He was chasing a remnant soldier from the Red Brigade, and that remnant soldier was carrying the banner of Lei Liezhihua, and he was determined to take down that banner.

Xie Cheng was able to see clearly the two sides in the battle. His eyesight was very good, and he judged the distance, and it was only two miles away.Facing him came the Red Brigade carrying the banner of Lei Lie's Flower. They retreated quickly, and a group of Fenghu's elite chased after them. The entire battlefield had already collapsed, and the defeated Li Guojun scattered in all directions. "Stop! Array!" he yelled. He is the leader of the vanguard army, and the Jinwu Guard is also controlled by him.The front four legions began to slowly unfold, the phalanx became a long formation, and the two wings flew up like a giant eagle.This is the formation transmitted from the palace, and the spread out formation can maximize the power of the Thousand Chance Crossbow.The slightly concave middle of the formation acts like a pocket, waiting to capture the enemy.The Red Brigade had nowhere to go, and they were getting closer and closer to the center of the trap.Xie Cheng squinted his eyes and saw the black stone monument standing on the field.That is the boundary marker of Wangyu, which has been standing there for seven hundred years.

Hua Ye saw the army and the banner of the flame rose they were flying.In the Eastern Continent, only the royal army can display this kind of banner. His face changed: "Let the arrow! Who is at the front? Tell him to retreat!" His personal soldier was slightly stunned for a moment and did not respond.Hua Ye grabbed the bow in his hand and shot an arrow into the sky.The arrow rose into the sky with a clear and sharp sound, which could be heard by everyone on the battlefield, and it was a signal for a rapid retreat. "Captain Yuan! Retreat! That's the command arrow to retreat!" A Fenghu led his horse and yelled in Yuan He's ear.

"Retreat?" Yuan He turned his head in confusion. He and the Habayashi army on the opposite side had completed the encirclement of the Chi Brigade, and as long as they continued to chase, the Chi Brigade would be close to death. The herald rode his horse and stood behind Xie Cheng: "General Xie, please give orders to your people!" Xie Cheng glanced at this proud officer of the Jinwu Guard, and raised his hands indifferently. The sergeants half-kneeled on the ground and began to load iron arrows into the Thousand Machine Crossbow.Eight thousand crossbows were leveled up, and twenty-four thousand arrows could be fired at any time.

Xie Cheng looked at the herald for the last time: "Is it really okay to launch like this?" The herald waved his finger forward: "Those who cross the border are all traitors! I say yes! I am serving the order of General Habayashi!" Xie Cheng looked at his face, and replied coldly: "You don't have to say it so loudly. I asked, and you said yes, you need to bear all the responsibilities for it! That's all." The herald was taken aback. Xie Cheng looked up to the sky and took a deep breath, he saw Yuan He's horseshoe crossed the boundary marker.This Fenghu team has stepped into the royal family's territory like the Red Brigade.Xie Cheng drew his sword sharply and pointed forward: "Launch!"

Twenty-four thousand iron arrows shot out straight like migrating locusts, with a loud buzzing sound.The two teams that were chasing and fleeing were stunned. Yuan He didn't expect that the Habayashi Army would actually attack them, and he didn't expect that something terrifying like iron rain would be sprayed out of that thing.The red brigade in front of him was instantly swallowed up. Yuan He rolled his horse back to the sky and lay on the ground. The arrow rain was only an instant slower than him. His horse was hit by an arrow in the chest, and the dense iron arrows completely penetrated into the good horse. The chest, neck, and eyes of the horse, not even the tails of the arrows, were visible.Yuan He lay on the ground, saw his most beloved horse's eyes bleeding, he hissed, and stumbled forward a few steps. The wound on its chest also spurted plasma, several feet away, its heart was severely injured.The horse finally turned its head, staring into its blind eyes, as if looking for its owner.However, it couldn't hold on any longer, its legs went limp, and it could never get up again. Yuan He was only hit by an arrow on his leg, and the strength of that arrow made it perfectly penetrate the forged steel armor that the Wind Tiger Cavalry Army was proud of. Yuan He felt that one of his tendons had been pierced.He crawled towards his horse, surrounded by his dead brother. "Load!" Xie Cheng ordered. The sergeants loaded the second round of iron arrows into the Thousand Machine Crossbow. Xie Cheng looked at the herald who was smiling provocatively: "What? Haven't you seen such a scene, sir? Do you think it is very magnificent?" The herald heard the thorns in his words, his face turned cold, and he squinted at him. "It is very magnificent, but one day we will be shot and killed, and it will be equally magnificent!" Xie Cheng stopped looking at him, swung his sword and shouted, "Aim!" The wind tigers on the battlefield were all stunned by this scene.The iron cavalry were enraged immediately, and they could see from a high place that the situation on the entire battlefield changed suddenly, and the iron streams chasing the remnants of the red brigade began to converge. They were like sharp arrows, and the arrow pointed at the Habayashi army. Hua Ming led the horse up to the high ground, and saw his father silently holding the bow.Hua Ye's hands were trembling slightly, as if he was about to break the bow that conveyed orders, and the mask covered his face, so no one could see his expression. "Father..." Hua Ming called softly, leading the horse forward slowly, not daring to disturb him. "I'm fine." Hua Ye's voice was low and hoarse. He bent his bow and shot arrows continuously towards the sky.The roar of retreating arrows crossed the sky again and again, and the galloping tigers stopped one by one. They looked back at the high ground with red eyes.But they still could not violate the military order, the entire battlefield was eerily silent, the iron cavalry all over the field looked up at the high place, and the people on the high place looked down at them. Finally, the iron cavalry began to retreat.Some of them looked back, across the border of the king's domain, stood their last brother. Yuan He was still alive, he stood up with all his strength, and he also looked at the high place. "General! Did you see it? Did you see it? The brothers are all dead!" He roared loudly, "You are still alive, only you are still alive!" "Yuanhe..." Hua Ye whispered. "Launch!" Xie Cheng ordered. The dense iron rain hit Yuan He from behind, swallowing him completely. Hua Ye looked at the figure in the distance, and Yuan He actually stopped, even though he was dead.He propped himself on the ground with a saber against his chest, and erected his body before dying, like a monument of doom, standing alone among the dead in battle.Just when Hua Ming felt that the air was so gloomy that it was suffocating, Hua Ye raised his head and roared. When Yanggu's mouth was shaken by his roar, even the Habayashi soldiers in the distance were so frightened that they wanted to cover their ears.The roar continued for a moment, and the voice became hoarse before it stopped.Hua Ye took the horse and left without looking back. "Is this the most sad and angry time for Tiger?" Xie Cheng looked at the height. "Hua Ye has withdrawn! Hua Ye has withdrawn! Our army has won." The herald was overjoyed. He almost thought that Hua Ye was about to attack. "Don't be too happy." Xie Cheng looked at him and smiled coldly, "Tiger God's scout is very famous, he will send someone to find out our names, and then put us on his must-kill list , as long as he is still alive. Ugly tiger Huaye has never been a good lord." Seeing the herald's smile froze on his face, as ugly as swallowing a fly, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
