It wasn't too far away from the camp, and was about a hundred meters high. There was a hexagonal pavilion at the top, which was more than enough to see from afar. The blind Daoist sat on the stone railing as he looked down at the snow. The scholar then asked, "King Lu has his own camp, but Pei Zi Yun seems to have his own traps as well. Should we try to save him?"
"No, look, King Lu is already suspicious of our men. He's sending them out to exhaust our strength."
"Now that we can't draw any Imperial Qi, we're being drained by it. The reincarnation platform has been constructed, and we can escape and be reincarnated. Now we can only hope that both sides are injured. If we can only choose one, not only will we not be able to help King Lu, we will also have to deal a fatal blow."
"If not, the reincarnation platform won't be able to escape."
"Dong, dong, dong!" The sound of drums could be heard as Li Yun Yong charged forward. He was clad in heavy armor, and a demonic figure could be seen in his eyes. It was as though he wanted to kill, drink their blood, and eat their souls.
The gates of the camp slowly opened. Yuan Long's face was contorted with blood. At this point, he gambled everything he had as he opened the gates and shouted out, "This humble general welcomes the Emperor's army."
"Quick, take back the gates."
Cries of pain could be heard as the battle was extremely brutal. Yuan Long's subordinates knew that if they failed, they would be killed. Even though the soldiers of the Imperial Court continued to pour in, they weren't able to take back the gates. Seeing this, one of the officers was enraged. At this point, he led his troops and shouted, "Yuan Long, I didn't expect you to be such a despicable person. You've been blessed by the Imperial Court, and yet you dare to betray the Imperial Court. That's disloyal. You've killed the soldiers guarding the gates.
You deserve to die. "His tone was filled with anger and anxiety.
"Who do you think you are, to speak to your uncle like that?" Officer Li pulled on the reins of his horse as he wiped the blood off his face. He then shouted, "Zhang Zheng, His Majesty is the rightful ruler. The Emperor is merely a despicable person who killed the Emperor. Why must you continue down this path? Follow the Emperor and you'll have a way out. Heaven's will is here, what can you do to stop it?
"Kill!" It was as though he had just been humiliated. Zhang Zheng's face was trembling with anger as he charged forward. He waved his blade and slashed at the soldiers who tried to stop him. The entrance of the camp was now embroiled in a fierce battle.
"Zhang Zheng, you're courting death!" Li Xiaowei saw that the situation was not right, so he also charged forward. The two of them clashed, and saber lights flashed. Sparks flew, and sounds of collision could be heard.
"Shoot!" Inside the camp, there were naturally crossbows. At this moment, another team rushed over. Seeing the situation, this team issued a hoarse order. Following the order, a dozen sharp whistling sounds followed, and a rain of arrows pounced on the rebel soldiers, splashing a flower of blood in an instant.
Li Xiaowei heard a sharp whistling sound and knew that something was wrong. In a split second, the crossbow bolts cut through the air, carrying with them the smell of death as they brushed past his face. What followed was a series of muffled sounds as seven or eight soldiers on his side immediately fell to the ground, dead.
"Kill!" Zhang Zheng seized the opportunity to chop down with his saber. Li Xiaowei couldn't help but scream.
"Close the city gates first!" Zhang Zheng didn't have time to kill. He rushed forward to close the gates.
At that moment, Li Yunyong's eyes turned slightly red. He whipped the horse, causing it to neigh and leap onto the ground.
"Go to hell!" Li Yunyong pointed his halberd at Zhang Zheng. His body trembled, and his hair stood on end.
"Kill!" Zhang Zheng's personal guard was also an elite. With a loud roar, he stabbed his spear towards Li Yunyong. Li Yunyong's eyes narrowed, and his halberd flashed. In the next moment, several soldiers who tried to block his way were turned into pieces of lifeless flesh. Seeing his personal guard being killed, Zhang Zheng roared, "Rebel, go to hell!"
Zhang Zheng's blade flashed, and the two of them separated. Zhang Zheng grunted, and the armor on his arm split open, revealing a deep wound that revealed his bones. Blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Haha!" Yuan Long took advantage of the opportunity to attack. Several soldiers pushed the gates open. At this point, Li Yunyong was surprised, "To be able to take one of my moves, you are a brave warrior. But now, die!"
With a loud roar, he charged towards Li Zhen. Li Zhen wanted to block, but a huge force came crashing down on him. Li Zhen screamed as he was split into two halves.
After Li Yunyong killed Li Zhen, he spurred his horse forward. With a single slash of his halberd, two soldiers screamed in pain as their intestines were ripped apart. Fresh blood and internal organs spilled out of their mouths.
At this point, shouts of killing, roars of anger, and screams of pain could be heard. Smoke rose up into the air, and snowflakes fell from the skies. All of them intertwined with each other, creating a bloody scene.
"Go!"
An officer ran towards King Lu and reported, "Your Majesty, the main gate of the camp has been taken down. General Li has already led his troops into the camp and killed their way in. The enemy troops are being routed. As long as we attack with all our might, the entire camp will be destroyed."
King Lu looked at the camp in the distance. The thick smoke and snowflakes intertwined with each other as he smiled, "Indeed, the heavens are on my side. As long as we break through the camp, the siege will be broken."
"Congratulations your Majesty, congratulations your Majesty."
Beside King Lu, eunuch Liao hurriedly congratulated him. When King Lu heard this, his frown disappeared. He then made up his mind, "Quick, send the troops to increase the number of casualties!"
"Yes, sir!" Another army was mobilized, and they charged forward valiantly. Halfway there, a muffled rumble of thunder could be heard, and a ball of fire could be seen in the distance.
This large ball of fire was especially obvious in the night, and it rushed out several zhang in size.
The entire main gate was in a state of chaos.
King Lu was shocked, "What is this?"
Main Gate of the Camp
The mushroom cloud wasn't huge, and didn't kill many people. However, the sound of the explosion was like thunder. Especially with the rain of blood and broken limbs, the soldiers who had just charged into the camp were in a state of chaos.
"Heavenly lightning, heavenly lightning, heavenly lightning, heavenly lightning, heavenly lightning. The heavens are on my side. Long live your majesty, long live your majesty." At the same time, someone within the camp shouted out.
The eunuch Gao Guang's mouth was wide open as well. At this point, he regained his senses and smiled coldly. He then waved his hand, "You've fallen into a trap."
At this point, the tents started to collapse as a large number of crossbowmen rushed out. At this point, the snowflakes started to fall. Li Yun Yong, who had just struggled out, felt a chill in his heart, 'Not good, it's an ambush. We've fallen into a trap.'
Li Yun Yong was enraged, but a look of fear flashed past his eyes. Although he wasn't killed by the lightning, his armor was torn and his flesh was mangled.
Gao Guang didn't hesitate as he waved his hand and shouted, "Release!"
"Pu pu pu!" This time, it wasn't a small fight. The sky turned dark as arrows rained down from the sky, blocking out the snow.
"Retreat, retreat!" Li Yun Yong pulled on the reins of his horse as he turned around to flee.
North Gate of the camp
Chen Yong heard the loud explosion as he pulled on the reins and steadied his horse. He then shouted out, "Haha, King Lu has fallen into a trap."
"Gather, let's move out." Chen Yong gave the order as the drums started to beat. The tents of the camp were opened and the soldiers were all prepared. Their horses dug into the ground, causing a cloud of dust to rise up as seven thousand soldiers charged out from the north gate.
When King Lu heard the explosion, he felt that something was amiss. At this point, the ground started to tremble as the soldiers charged out from the camp. King Lu knew that he had fallen into a trap.
"Hiss!" The generals all sucked in a breath of cold air. Eunuch Liao walked closer to King Lu and was about to speak when he heard the sound of cavalry charging out from behind him.
"Dong, dong, dong!"
The sound of the drums continued to beat, causing the snow to flutter. Pei Zi Yun gripped the reins of his horse tightly as he led the charge of six thousand soldiers. At first, they were riding at a slow pace, but as time went by, the horses started to move faster and faster.
The hooves of the horses caused the snow to fly everywhere as the ground trembled under their hooves. In the blink of an eye, they were nearing.
"Shoot!" King Lu's troops let out a shout as arrows rained down from the sky. All he could hear was the sound of 'pu pu' as the hundreds of soldiers in front of him fell to the ground.
Pei Zi Yun could clearly see that the person in front of him had his brains splattered all over the place. Although there were people falling to the ground, there were even more who were covered in blood as they charged towards King Lu's troops.
King Lu was shocked, but he didn't panic. He raised his army flag and shouted, "Our army is invincible."
"Invincible."
"Invincible. Long live King Lu, long live King Lu."
The soldiers who were initially in a panic started to calm down as they heard the shout of the general. In the next moment, the cavalry had already charged in.
As soon as they met face to face, their weapons started to slice and slash. No matter which side they were on, they were all turned into a pile of minced meat. Pei Zi Yun's face was extremely cold.
'Even after all this, he's still able to defend?'
'No wonder he was the one who conquered the world in my previous life.' Pei Zi Yun was good at strategizing, but he wasn't afraid of a bloody battle. At this point, he took a deep breath.
'Wind Cloud Body!' Pei Zi Yun's heart was thumping furiously as he raised his halberd. To him, this was a weapon of mass destruction. At this point, a cold light flashed as he waved his halberd. Two soldiers who were charging towards him were sliced in half.
Following that, without any hesitation, he waved his halberd once more. In that moment, blood splattered everywhere. At this point, a rain of arrows rained down!
A dense rain of arrows rained down on Pei Zi Yun, regardless of friend or foe. Screams of agony could be heard. Pei Zi Yun waved his halberd and deflected all the arrows before he managed to extricate himself. A sharp gust of wind pierced through the air. It was a general wielding a gigantic axe. Even Pei Zi Yun felt his entire body tremble. With a wave of his halberd, he managed to break both the front legs of the warhorse.
Following the shrill neighing of the horse, a general wielding a gigantic axe in both hands tumbled down. With one look, Pei Zi Yun could tell that this was a Demon General. He waved his halberd and stabbed forward!
The general didn't even look at Pei Zi Yun as he swung his axe horizontally, intending to perish together with Pei Zi Yun. Pei Zi Yun laughed coldly as he charged forward with his horse. A "Pu" sound was heard as a head flew into the air. This general was indeed powerful. Even so, the headless corpse still managed to swing its axe towards Pei Zi Yun. Pei Zi Yun's entire body bounced up from his horse as he did a somersault to avoid the axe. He then sat back down on the horse's back.
The cavalry behind him shouted out. The general was clad in full armor as he leapt into the air like a leopard. This level of martial arts had never been seen before. However, they didn't know that Pei Zi Yun's Dao arts had already reached a level where he could use them as he pleased. He had already cast his Light Spirit Technique on himself. Although he could only maintain this for a second, it was more than enough.
"Die!" Another general charged towards him, his spear piercing through. A "Dang dang" sound could be heard as a wave of energy flowed through the spear. The general groaned in pain, but with the demonic energy protecting his body, he didn't die.
"Let's see how many strikes you can take!" The sound of metal clashing could be heard. On the seventh strike, the general screamed out in pain as blood flowed out of his orifices. He then fell off his horse, dead.
Seeing that Pei Zi Yun was unstoppable, King Lu's expression finally changed.
At this point, Pei Zi Yun looked at the main camp. His six thousand cavalrymen were attacking the main army of ten thousand. However, they weren't able to break through as quickly as he had imagined. King Lu's army truly lived up to its name.
However, there were three crucial points in the grand scheme of things. No matter which side won first, they would be able to join forces and kill the others. Now, all that was left was to see how the main camp would evolve.
