Right at this moment, the Northern Wei army suddenly split into two and a few burly men ran out from each of the four directions. All of them were drenched in sweat and each of them held a spear in their hands as they charged into the flames. Before everyone could even let out a cry of surprise, pillars of fire suddenly flew into the air and somersaulted a few times in the air. Countless sparks flew in all directions and landed in the direction of the Sky Bearing army. The wall of fire in front of them was instantly reduced by more than half, revealing a large empty space. They actually used their spears to pick up the logs and threw them out!
With a 'hu' sound, men on fire charged out from the flames one after another! Following which, two men from the Northern Wei army took care of each of them and poured two buckets of water on them. The flames were extinguished and the soldiers who were burnt to a crisp were revealed. All of them were breathing weakly and some of them had even fainted. There were even two soldiers who died from the combination of heat and cold!
However, such a method of extinguishing the flames was undoubtedly feasible. A group of burly men followed suit and charged into the flames with their spears in hand! Another pillar of fire was shot towards the Sky Bearing army, and the same thing was repeated!
Naturally, there were also many soldiers in the Sky Bearing army who were unavoidably struck by the pillars of fire and let out miserable shrieks!
Ling Xiao cursed with an agitated expression, "Where did Wei Chengping find so many b * st * rds who aren't afraid of death?! Darn it, they are too evil! To actually be willing to jump into the flames of their own accord! "
After just three charges, the pillars of fire in front of the two armies were more or less cleared. While there were still places where the flames were still burning, it no longer affected the overall situation. Even if the flames were still burning fiercely, the few hundred openings that were created were more than enough for the Northern Wei army to launch a new attack!
As the Northern Wei army surged forward like a tidal wave, Ling Xiao waved his hand and the archers retreated in an orderly manner after firing their last volley of arrows. Squads of Mo Swordsmen appeared at the front of the army with a ferocious aura!
"Cleave him in two!" Along with a violent roar, nearly three thousand long hilted Mo Sabers hacked down in unison! In that instant, a white light was released and the soldiers on the other side were blinded! It was as though a huge bolt of lightning had appeared on the battlefield!
The Northern Wei army charged forward without fear of death and without caring about who was in front of them, they stabbed their spears forward without any regard for their lives!
Blood splattered everywhere! Countless Northern Wei soldiers were cleaved into two from their shoulders to their backs! Many of the Sky Bearing soldiers had a look of pain as they clutched at a certain spot in front of their chests, where a spear was embedded!
The two extremely swift and fierce armies instantly fell into the fiercest close-quarters combat! Every second, there would be countless Northern Wei soldiers falling to the ground and there would be Sky Bearing soldiers losing their lives at every second!
Ling Xiao and Kong DaYuan stood in the commander's tent with a calm expression. It was as though they could not see the blood and flesh splattering all over the place! Ling Nineteen slid down from the flagpole and shouted, "Marshal! The enemy is attacking our army from all directions and only the southeast direction has opened up a path for us! "
Kong DaYuan let out a delighted smile and said, "It is indeed as I expected! Marshal, give the order! As long as we go in the opposite direction from the northwest direction and break out of the encirclement, I believe that the Northern Wei will not be able to stop us! "
Ling Xiao took in a deep breath and raised the large blade in his hand, shouting, "Generals, listen to my orders and do not make any mistakes!"
Everyone acknowledged in unison!
Ling Xiao then shouted, "Li XiangDong will be the vanguard! Kong DaYuan will guard the left flank and Meng Youcai will guard the right flank. The army will be in the center and we will break out of the encirclement in a triangular formation! Li XiangDong, this marshal's Blood Iron Warriors will be assigned to you. You must kill your way out and bring our army out safely! "
Li XiangDong puffed out his chest and shouted, "This general will sacrifice my life to not disappoint marshal! Men, charge for this daddy! Our army will definitely win and we are invincible! "As he said that, he sat down on his horse and charged out! His subordinates followed closely behind, roaring like wild beasts as they charged forward like a tornado. They were like a venomous dragon that had emerged from the abyss of hell, clashing with the Northern Wei soldiers in the northwest!
Li XiangDong raised his blade and chopped down his enemies one by one. He then laughed maniacally and urged his horse forward. His personal guards held up the shield for him and followed him without hesitation! In the blink of an eye, Li XiangDong's troops had already charged out a few hundred feet! It was like an extremely sharp steel awl that pierced into the enemy's ranks!
Ling Xiao waved his hands and shouted, "Abandon the fortifications! All troops break out! "He then urged his horse to follow behind Li XiangDong's troops and galloped forward! Ling Nineteen and the other three did not dare to delay and clamped onto their horses, following closely behind to protect Ling Xiao! Following the movement of Ling Xiao's flag, the Sky Bearing troops retreated and their formation was not messed up at all.
Kong DaYuan's left wing troops were left at the back. Seeing that the majority of the troops had successfully broken out, Kong DaYuan was about to set fire again to stop the enemy when he suddenly saw a small group of Sky Bearing soldiers running towards him pathetically with injuries all over their bodies! Behind them, countless Northern Wei soldiers roared as they chased after them!
Kong DaYuan's face contorted and he suddenly roared, "Brothers behind me! This general has let all of you down! For the sake of the Marshal, I have to set fire to stop the enemy! Brothers, for the sake of the Marshal, I am sorry! "As he said that, he raised his right hand and the archers behind him slowly pulled back their arrows!
As the Sky Bearing soldiers heard that, they suddenly stopped in their tracks. A burly man with a full beard shouted, "General, feel free to release your arrows! For the Marshal, for everyone, our deaths are not to be regretted! " He then waved his hands and roared, "Brothers, let us bring up the rear for the Marshal and everyone!" With a tragic roar, this burly man suddenly turned around and charged towards the Northern Wei soldiers while shouting, "Northern Wei b * st * rds! Your grandfather, Liu Si, is here! "
The dozens of Sky Bearing soldiers who had broken out with him all had resolute looks on their faces. They turned around without hesitation and chased after him towards the Northern Wei army while roaring, "Northern Wei b * st * rds, this grandfather will fight it out with you!"
Kong DaYuan's eyes were filled with tears as he roared, "Brothers, have a safe journey! Release the arrows! "
Fire arrows shot out one after another and the entire Sky Bearing camp was set ablaze! Amidst the flames, Kong DaYuan could vaguely see the burly man called Liu Si chopping down two enemies. After being stabbed, he suddenly leapt up and pounced forward, pouncing onto one of the Northern Wei soldiers. He did not care that the enemy had already stabbed him in the stomach and hugged the enemy as he rolled into the flames. In that instant, the miserable shrieks of the enemy and the maniacal laughter of Liu Si could be heard!
"Retreat! Retreat at full speed and do not let our brothers die for nothing! "Kong DaYuan's eyes narrowed as he saluted from afar and roared. He then turned his horse around and chased after the main forces of Ling Xiao!
Behind him, the flames shot up into the sky and blocked off his path!
In the distance, Wei ChengPing's face was like a blooming flower as he grinned from ear to ear. "Brother Shui, you're truly a genius at scheming! Ling Xiao has indeed given up on the southeast direction and turned to the northwest to break out! He even used fire to cut off the path of retreat and landed right in the middle of the encirclement of our army and the Western Han army! After they fight to the death, we can come out and reap the benefits as the fisherman. It can be said that it will be as easy as blowing off dust! Hahaha … "
The Shui youth, Shui QianHuan, who was also Shui QianRou's brother, stood on top of a hill with a calm expression on his face. He did not reveal the slightest bit of joy at the success of his plan. His sharp gaze was fixed on the battlefield as he said slowly, "Send down my orders, use all our strength to stop the enemy from breaking out! Use all our strength to kill them! "
Wei Chengping was startled as he said, "Ling Xiao is heading in the right direction and we can just let him pass. Why do we have to stop him? Wouldn't that increase our casualties? "
Shui QianHuan said coldly, "Ling Xiao is known as the God of War and his reputation is not just for show. If we do not use all our strength to stop them, Ling Xiao and the rest will definitely discover that something is amiss and it will be the same as telling them that we have a large number of troops lying in ambush in the northwest. If they change their direction again, then this powerful army of trapped beasts will be ours to deal with alone! At that time, it will be too late for you to cry! Are you going to reject my orders again? "
Wei Chengping grinned awkwardly and did not say anything.
Shui QianHuan's orders were quickly passed down!
Suddenly, Shui QianHuan's face revealed a look of shock as he muttered, "Who would have thought that Ling Xiao would have such an expert under his command! There are indeed crouching tigers and hidden dragons! Truly extraordinary! "
Everyone and Wei Chengping looked in the direction he was pointing and realized that the direction he was pointing at was where Ling Xiao's flag was! Everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air when they saw that!
Ling Nineteen and the other three surrounded Ling Xiao tightly, each of them taking a direction. The swords and sabers in their hands were like beautiful snowflakes blooming in the middle of the battlefield, bringing with them bits of blood! The snowflakes turned into blood! Every time the four of them swung their swords or sabers, they would take at least one life! The four of them had the same expression on their faces, cold and indifferent, their eyes filled with determination and cruelty! They reaped the lives of the Northern Wei soldiers one after another, like farmers harvesting rice. So natural and skillful, yet filled with the apathy of a professional!
Ling Xiao looked at these four quiet and shy youths in shock. These four little fellows were actually so experienced in killing! Even a veteran like Ling Xiao who had been on the battlefield for decades could not help but gasp in amazement! He was ashamed of his inferiority! Suddenly, he remembered that these four little fellows were the elite soldiers that his son, Ling Tian, had personally trained! He could not help but suck in a breath of cold air as he muttered in his heart, "Could it be that the rumors are true? Could it be that Tian'er is much stronger than these four little fellows?!"
