Is that the crossbow of the troops?
Liyun recognized the familiar buzzing sound immediately, but he realized that the direction of the arrows was wrong.
?
Before he could think, a few more arrows pierced through the air, accurately saving a few troops who were on the brink of death.
No!
Are they reinforcements?
Liyun's face was filled with joy. If he could survive, who would want to seek death?
After thinking about it, the silver-white spear returned to its threatening state and instantly repelled two enemies.
He shouted loudly, "Brothers, reinforcements are here!"
Reinforcements?
Could it be that the brother who volunteered to look for Langjun for help had already completed his mission?
A strong desire to live ignited in his heart. His originally dispirited spirit was suddenly roused, and a strong resistance erupted.
As if to confirm Liyun's words, countless arrows buzzed and the corpses of the Tsing Yi Army fell continuously. After two waves of shooting, a group of men and horses rushed out from the darkness. Wasn't the leader the people were very familiar with, Meng Hun? Endless anger brewed in their murderous cries. It was as if they wanted to take revenge and collect all the blood debts of their brothers!
The Tsing Yi Army's torches did not set the forest on fire, but they burned their own people.
The raging fire burned their bodies. Painful cries mixed with murderous cries. The place was like a battlefield of Asura. People died every second.
Jiang Pengji put down her crossbow, raised her hand to pull out the long sword from her waist, and rushed to the battlefield.
The sword in her hand rose and fell, taking a life with each slash. In a short while, her body was stained with blood.
Liyun picked up his spear again to look for the bandit leader. Who knew that the bandit leader ran so fast, wanting to escape when he saw that the situation was not good.
"Where is he?"
He was suspicious. He used the spear in his hand to carve out a path of blood, but he did not see the strong bandit.
His eyes narrowed, and he saw a familiar figure. It was as if he saw the most beautiful virgin, and his eyes lit up.
He was about to rush over to snatch the head, but before he could get close, a white light flashed across the bandit's neck, and his head flew up into the sky.
When he looked again, a pair of unfamiliar hands grabbed the fallen head.
Liyun was speechless.
Who snatched his head?
"The enemy is a bandit. Whoever doesn't surrender will be killed!"
The skinny youth raised the head of the muscular man high up, and his hoarse voice was filled with strong unwillingness.
Of course, Jiang Pengji was indignant. The troops that she had nurtured meticulously and spent a lot of money and resources to nurture were almost defeated by the Tsing Yi Army. How could she be reconciled if she did not kill them back? However, she knew very well that if she allowed the situation to continue, it would only cause more casualties.
Even though she shouted these words, the two sides who were already in a killing frenzy had no intention of stopping.
Only when the Tsing Yi Army gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, the foot of the mountain was covered with charred corpses and the strong smell of burnt meat filled their noses did they gradually regain their senses. The remnants of the Tsing Yi Army knelt on the ground and surrendered.
"Some of you, check the captives. The rest of you, go and extinguish the fire, lest it burns the forest." Jiang Pengji said in a hoarse voice. She casually threw the level stone aside. Her eyes revealed a ferocious glint, and no one dared to look her in the eye. "I'll settle the score with the Tsing Yi Army sooner or later. He deserves to die for injuring my subordinates! "
Meng Hun clenched his fists, anger brewing on his calm face.
The battlefield was barely cleared until dawn. Including the troops brought by Jiang Pengji, there were only 1,800 people left.
"My lord …" Meng Hun opened his sore eyes, as if he would cry in the next second.
He could not help but feel heartache. Out of the 3,000 troops brought from Chongzhou, only 1,800 were left.
Although the casualty rate was not high, every troop was the best of the best according to the standards of this world. Losing one was heartache, let alone losing nearly half of them!
"Are they all buried?" Jiang Pengji frowned, but she did not reveal much emotion.
She was used to seeing life and death. At most, she would feel sentimental for a moment, but she would not wallow in it and be unable to extricate herself.
"My brothers have all been buried."
Meng Hun originally wanted to bring their corpses back, but the current situation did not allow for it.
He could only bear the pain and bury them on the spot. Everyone had a grave.
The only consolation was that their graves were all in the same place, so they should not feel lonely.
"Bring them back …" Jiang Pengji's expression was solemn. Her gaze swept around calmly and landed on Li Yun. Seeing the state of his right hand, she raised her eyebrows and asked Meng Hun, "Who is this person? Why haven't I seen him before? "
According to Jiang Pengji's training method, the position of the thick calluses on the troops' hands was not like that.
Hearing her question, one of the troops braced himself and said, "Brother Li is our benefactor."
"Benefactor?" Jiang Pengji looked at Li Yun. "What's going on?"
At the mention of Li Yun, many people felt that they were really lucky.
Li Yun was from Fengyi County. His parents died when he was young, and he learned martial arts from his mentor in the mountains near Fengyi County.
Previously, when the troops were being chased by the Tsing Yi Army, Li Yun happened to pass by. He heard about the atrocities of the Tsing Yi Army and subconsciously sided with the troops. He enthusiastically volunteered to lead the troops and help them get rid of their pursuers. He looked cold, but in fact, he was a friendly young man. He was straightforward and not pretentious. In addition, he helped to save people several times, so he was quickly accepted by the troops and they called each other brothers.
Jiang Pengji listened and calmly replied, "Oh."
"Do you have anywhere else to go?" Jiang Pengji asked Li Yun.
Li Yun did not react for a moment, then he said, "My master asked me to go down the mountain to take a look, but he didn't specify where to go."
In fact, his master's original words were that the situation in the world had changed. Only by continuously challenging people and fighting could he improve his martial arts skills. Hence, he asked him to go down the mountain to broaden his horizons. If he returned with a scholarly reputation, he might be able to marry a good wife and carry on the Li family's ancestral line.
Because Dongqing valued literature and restrained martial arts, learning martial arts was not as popular as learning literature. His master originally said that Li Yun would become a big problem.
Now that the world was in chaos, it was a good time for martial artists to rise and roam the world.
"If you don't have a fixed goal, why not come to Xiangyang district? Now that the north of Dongqing is in a mess, it's very dangerous for you to be alone outside. "
Li Yun thought about it and nodded readily. "Okay."
He saw that the slender youth in front of him was very skilled. If he went to Xiangyang district, he might have a chance to spar with him in the future.
Although Li Yun was smart, he had blind trust in his master.
He would never forget his two goals for going down the mountain: to fight and improve his martial arts skills, to gain a scholarly reputation and get a wife.
Seeing the aloof prince charming reveal such a naive and sweet side, the audience in the streaming room expressed their amazement.
Tumi Dalao: "# propping chin, the handsome prince charming has been lured to Xiangyang district by the streamer just like that. Doesn't he know that the streamer's boat can only be boarded and not left? You can refer to the pitiful coach Luoyue, now he's working overtime like a dog. "
Buxiang Jiageng Zhixiangsi: "I seem to see the future of a delicate flower gradually withering under the pressure of working overtime."
