Ever since he came to Xiangyang district, Liyun had been wondering if he was out of practice.
First, his lord snatched the bandit leader's head. He thought it was bearable. After all, she was his lord and he couldn't afford to offend her.
Now that his head was snatched by someone else, Liyun expressed that he couldn't bear it. When he skillfully retrieved his silver spear, he saw clearly who snatched his head. In a split second, Liyun was speechless. Jiang Nongqin, the captain of the female battalion. Her rank was even higher than his.
Just as he retrieved his silver spear, his nerves tensed. He brandished his spear and deflected the attack. Suddenly, the spearhead pierced through two people.
Blood washed the silver spear. A streak of silver light streaked across the sky. The King of Hell had already mercilessly taken two lives.
Liyun's gaze involuntarily fell on Jiang Nongqin. He didn't even see clearly when she dashed in front of him and made the first move. Now that he fixed his eyes on her, he felt that Meng Hun's words were right. This woman … really shouldn't be provoked!
If most of the soldiers used force to break through tricks and coordinated with their comrades to attack, defend or attack, Jiang Nongqin was a lone ranger. She didn't need the cooperation of others. She slid into the enemy's camp alone. It was fine if she didn't make a move, but once she did, it would be a life. Almost every move she made was aimed at the lifeline.
Two long and short knives of different lengths in her hands were like a judge's pen. Every time she made a move, she would mercilessly cross off a person's name.
In terms of ferocity, her performance wasn't inferior to Meng Hun or Liyun. Compared to Meng Hun's bold moves and Liyun's exquisite skills, Jiang Nongqin's every move was made to kill. When blood splattered on her face, she didn't even frown.
In just a few breaths' time, she had already taken three steps forward. There were five corpses lying by her feet.
She didn't seem like a general at all. She was more like a killer. This was what Liyun felt. In close combat, she had the upper hand.
Liyun didn't have time to think. The surrounding enemies had already surrounded him. They slowly formed an effective attack.
After the initial shock, the members of the Tsing Yi Army reacted one after another. They picked up their weapons and wanted to counterattack. Some of them were despicable and shameless. They even grabbed a woman and made her stand in front of them in a panic. They hid behind her and took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Liyun did not make a move because he was benevolent. However, in the blink of an eye, the woman who was used as a shield had already died in Jiang Nongqin's hands. Her expression was still as cold as a wooden sculpture. The member of the Tsing Yi Army who used the woman as a shield did not have time to react. In just a short while, a knife had already pierced his neck from one end to the other.
He thought that Jiang Nongqin would take pity on him because of her identity as a woman, or even be restrained. However, her actions had shattered Li Yun's understanding.
Unbeknownst to her, Jiang Nongqin's worldview, values, and values were already infinitely aligned with Jiang Pengji's.
There was no difference between men and women on the battlefield, and women could not be forgiven or treated worse because of their gender.
Only those who survived and those who died.
If she was restrained because the Tsing Yi Army used a woman as a shield and caused the loss of her comrades, it would not only be unfair to her comrades, but it would also cause other members of the Tsing Yi Army to follow suit. More women would be captured as shields.
This was a vicious cycle.
However, in a flash, Jiang Nongqin first killed the innocent shield, then she killed the man who used a woman as a shield.
Jiang Nongqin, who was slaughtering on the battlefield, was calm to the point of cold-bloodedness.
Such a thought flashed in Liyun's mind. The long spear in his hand flicked away the enemy's sword, spear, sword, and halberd. With lightning speed, he performed the Phoenix Nod. The shadow of the spear brought forth a silver shadow. A circular spear mark appeared on the enemy's throat. Fresh blood spurted out from the bloody hole.
In terms of spear skills, other than Liyun's master who could teach him how to be a man, it would be difficult for others to win. Moreover, Liyun had been through many bloody battles. When he attacked, he had an indomitable aura. However, he could control it at will. Even if someone closed in on him, he was not afraid to fight.
One inch longer, one inch stronger; one inch shorter, one inch riskier. On the battlefield, people like Jiang Nongqin who fought with close-range weapons were at a disadvantage. However, her attack speed and body movements were rather outstanding. It was not easy for the motley crew of the Tsing Yi Army to hurt her.
The people from the female camp were not as tyrannical as Jiang Nongqin, but their performance was remarkable.
They fought in groups of two or three and worked together to besiege one person.
However, they had only trained for a short period of time. Their psychological qualities were not up to standard. It was inevitable that they would have stage fright in the face of such a bloody scene.
One of the female soldiers was careless and the Tsing Yi Army got close to her. She raised her huge spear high and was about to land on her head —
"Ah —"
The female soldier thought she was dead, but she heard the other party's cries of pain.
She opened her eyes in a panic and saw that the Tsing Yi Army soldier had two bloody holes in her eyes. Her partner's fingers were holding two suspicious blood-colored balls … The male soldiers in the chaotic battle did not notice the abnormality over here. However, there were still 300 vanguard soldiers hiding in the dark, launching a sneak attack. Just now, when they were about to provide support, they saw with their own eyes that another female soldier dug out the other party's eyes.
Damn it —
The soldiers who saw this scene were so frightened that their hands trembled. They almost shot the crossbow.
The female camp was really not to be provoked. Digging out the eyes of a man without saying a word. Even a man would not be so ruthless.
"Why are you in a daze —"
Her partner's shout made the female soldier return to her senses. Her body had already reacted one step ahead of her mind.
She pulled out the dagger from her waist. While the Tsing Yi Army soldier was bending over and howling in pain, she stabbed the back of the other party's neck with the dagger.
There were not many Tsing Yi Army soldiers. The laborers who transported the rations were long scared out of their wits. They had all escaped during the first round of shooting.
Those women could not leave because they were tied up with hemp ropes. How could the Tsing Yi Army be a match for the vanguard battalion?
In fact, the vanguard battalion had not killed many people. The ladies of the female camp had experienced the initial fear. One by one, they pounced on their next target with ferocious expressions. Perhaps they were not strong enough, but they cooperated well. None of them survived.
As the saying goes, pick the soft persimmon and pinch it. Realizing that some of the people who ambushed them were women, the Tsing Yi Army planned to use the female camp as the key point to break out of the encirclement. However, when they really rushed over, they realized that these young ladies were much more ruthless than the men!
The women who were weak and easily bullied in their eyes were extremely fierce. The long spears in their hands were modified. They were not the usual ones that were more than ten feet long. They were only two heads taller than them. Their weight was also much lighter, so it was convenient for them to wield them.
Poof, poof, poof —
The sound of the spearhead piercing into the flesh rose and fell. The female soldiers even shouted and pushed the spearhead a little deeper, piercing the other party's stomach.
Killing would make people fearful, but it would also make people feel high.
The female camp obviously belonged to the latter. They had abandoned their fear of death and their obsession to survive. Almost everyone showed a side that was frightening. Among the 500 people, half of them came from Hejian County. The other half were recruited from Xiangyang District.
