Ye Hui dashed left and right. His whole body was stained with blood. The long saber in his hand had already been twisted. The deputy generals around him protected him with their lives. One by one, they fell, but there was still no hope of breaking through. After a chaotic battle, 70% of the army he brought with him had been killed. With a sigh, Ye Hui's eyes were like pools of blood. He fought wildly like a desperate beast, letting out roars from time to time.
At this moment, the sound of cannons suddenly came from the left and right sides. The sky shaking battle cries reached his ears. On the fluttering flags in the distance, the words "Zhuge" and "Dragon" were marked.
"Reinforcements! It's reinforcements! General Ye, we're saved! " The deputy next to Ye Hui roared excitedly in a hoarse voice. The dawn of hope immediately injected strength into his exhausted body. His long saber rose and fell, chopping down enemies that charged at him one after another.
The reinforcements of Yunhua City came as the Great Gale Army had expected, but the direction they came from was completely different from what they had expected. They did not rush out from the city, but from the flanks. They were caught off guard and could not figure out when the reinforcements had ambushed them from the north and south. The flag in the distance waved violently.
The Great Gale Army suddenly roared in unison. The seemingly chaotic army quickly ran in a fixed pattern. As soon as their formation changed, the two flags above Yunhua City waved to the left and right. The Sky Dragon Army, who were shouting loudly, suddenly changed their direction. One attacked the southwest, and the other attacked the northwest. They directly occupied the formation eye they had just built, but they did not stop to fight. Instead, they rushed forward. The left and right sides sprinted and exchanged positions, destroying the Dark Armor Formation of the Great Gale Army. The Great Gale Army was in chaos. In panic, they had to fight on their own. Once the formation was in chaos, the morale of the Great Gale Army fell. In the chaos, the Sky Dragon Army broke through and protected the besieged Ye Hui. The two wings merged into one team …
The sound of retreat came from the direction of Yunhua City. The Sky Dragon Army immediately stopped fighting with the Great Gale Army and quickly retreated. At this moment, there were less than a thousand soldiers left in the army led by Ye Hui. Their hearts were filled with pain and hatred. The Sky Dragon Army broke through the encirclement and rushed in the direction of Yunhua City. The Great Gale Bodhisattva was hot on his heels, his shouts shaking the heavens.
The Tenryū Province's troops retreated very quickly. Perhaps it was because they were too impatient, but they kept dropping items from their bodies. More and more items fell from their bodies, and soon, the ground was covered with items. Among them, there were all kinds of beautiful ornaments of various sizes that reflected the light, as well as delicately packaged food, scattered all over the ground.
The footsteps of the Great Gale Army slowed down. Then, they scrambled forward to pick them up. Some even fought over them. The troops at the front were immediately thrown into chaos. The troops at the back were also thrown into chaos. For a moment, people were thrown off their feet and trampled on each other. All of a sudden, the sound of a cannon came from above Yunhua City. The retreating Sky Dragon Army suddenly let out a loud cry and charged back in unison. One by one, they raised their weapons and rushed into the disordered Gale Army. Like a surging flood, they slaughtered the Gale Army, who could not even fend for themselves, and screams filled the air.
The situation was suddenly reversed. The defeated Great Gale Army became the one fleeing. After hearing the retreat signal, they rushed to the camp in the west. But suddenly, a fire rose into the sky in front of them. The camp, which stretched for several miles, was set ablaze and turned into a sea of fire. The morale of the Great Gale Army became even more chaotic, and they fled further to the west. The Heavenly Dragon Nation chased after them relentlessly, their shouts still shaking the sky.
Ye Hui, who was exhausted, finally returned to Yunhua City under protection. He knew that he had no face to see anyone, so he quietly waited in his room. But after waiting for a long time, he still didn't get a call from Zhuge Xiaoyu. Finally, he couldn't help but take the initiative to see Zhuge Xiaoyu, but the answer he got was, "General Pingyun doesn't have time to see you for the time being. When she needs to see you, she will naturally summon you …"
Ye Hui could only leave in silence.
The Ripping Cloud Valley was a valley near the border between Tenryū Province and the Great Gale Country. It was in the territory of Tenryū Province, surrounded by high mountains and lofty ridges. The road in the middle was not narrow, being more than 30 meters wide. Because it was late autumn, and there were few people passing by, the road was covered with knee-high withered grass.
The fleeing Great Gale Army rushed into the Ripping Cloud Valley and felt a little relieved. Behind them, the Sky Dragon Army was still chasing after them. After driving all the Great Gale Army into the valley, they suddenly stopped and gave up the chase, guarding in front of the entrance of the valley.
The Great Gale Army moved less than a mile before they all stopped. Countless logs, which were obviously cut not long ago, were piled up in front of them. The pile was at least 10 meters high, blocking the road ahead. A dark cloud immediately wrapped around the heart of the Great Gale General. This blockage had obviously been set up in advance. They had obviously set up a trap for the Sky Dragon Army, but now that he thought about it, they had obviously fallen into the trap of the Tenryū Province.
On the mountains on both sides of the valley stood shining sabers and spears. A fair-skinned, greasy-faced young man stood at the front and looked down from above. "By the order of the Pingyun General, I've been waiting here for a long time. Enjoy the burning feast of our 'Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire' … Fire!"
As he shouted, Lei Zhenzi and Fire Poisons were thrown down from above and fell into the Ripping Cloud Valley. The long withered grass was extremely dry and caught fire immediately. In just a few seconds, the fire in the valley connected into a line, accompanied by the deafening explosions of Lei Zhenzi.
Ye Hui, who had disobeyed military orders and acted on his own, still did not know that he was actually an unwitting bait that Zhuge Xiaoyu had deliberately released. After this bait had successfully attracted the attention of the Great Gale Army, the troops had quietly moved to set up a trap to force the Great Gale Army into a dead end.
The Great Gale Army wanted to cross the sea by deceiving everyone, and Zhuge Xiaoyu was using this to cross the sea by deceiving everyone. Ye Hui had played a very important role in this. If Ye Hui had learned to be a little smarter and reined in his arrogance, Zhuge Xiaoyu would not have been able to do anything.
The road ahead was blocked, and the road behind was blocked by the Sky Dragon Army. Anyone who escaped would be killed. The whole Ripping Cloud Valley was on fire, and the screams resounded through the clouds for a long time. In the sea of fire, the Great Gale Army covered their heads and fled like rats. They trampled on each other until the number of dead was even more than those who had been burned alive or blown up.
Dusk was approaching, and the sun was setting in the west. When the western sky was filled with burning clouds, the fire in Ripping Cloud Valley finally subsided. The Sky Dragon Army swarmed forward and killed all the remaining soldiers of the Great Gale Army. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers that the Great Gale Army had sent to capture Yunhua City had been completely wiped out in a day. When the news came, the people of Yunhua City could not believe their ears at first. Then, they burst into thunderous cheers and the city was filled with jubilation. It was also at this moment that the great name of Pingyun General truly resounded in Yunhua City.
Ye Hui was tied up and kneeling in front of Zhuge Xiaoyu. He had not changed his clothes. His hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in blood. His armor was broken in many places, and there were several scars on his face. When he received the news that Yunhua City had achieved a great victory and the Great Gale Army had been wiped out, he was stunned for a long time. At this moment, in front of Zhuge Xiaoyu, he could not say a word. He lowered his head and did not look at Zhuge Xiaoyu's eyes.
"Ye Hui, do you know your crime?!" Zhuge Xiaoyu frowned and shouted coldly. At this moment, she did not have the attitude that she usually had in front of Ye Hui.
"I know my crime!" Ye Hui lowered his head heavily and said with hatred.
"You disobeyed the military order and rashly sent out your troops. You killed nine thousand men of Yunhua City. If I did not send out my troops, you would have been wiped out. Tell me, how should I punish you?! "Zhuge Xiaoyu said sternly.
Ye Hui gritted his teeth and said, "I deserve to be executed."
"Wrong!" Zhuge Xiaoyu stood up and snorted softly. "You deserve to be executed a hundred times for your crime! Since you also know that you deserve to die, then this general doesn't need to say anything more. Shocking Thunder and Shocking Fire, drag Ye Hui out and behead him. Hang his head above the city gate for three days and bury him seven days later. Go quickly! "
"Yes!" Shocking Thunder and Flame had never disobeyed Zhuge Xiaoyu's order. He immediately responded and went forward to drag Ye Hui's body.
As expected, as soon as Zhuge Xiaoyu's order was given, it immediately frightened the people in the hall. Ye Hui's deputy general and the other generals of Yunhua City hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to plead for Ye Hui.
"General Pingyun, victory and defeat are common things in the military. How can General Ye be sentenced to death because of a defeat? General Pingyun, please take back your order. This is a time of war, and we need people. At least we should give General Ye a chance to atone for his crime." One of Ye Hui's deputy generals shouted in horror.
"Victory and defeat are common things in the military. It's true that we can't sentence General Ye to death because of a defeat," Zhuge Xiaoyu said. "But Ye Hui disobeyed the order first. I strictly ordered Ye Hui not to send troops with the Sky Dragon Token, but Ye Hui still insisted on doing things his own way. If I don't sentence him to death, what kind of military order is there to speak of? How can I face those who died because of him?"
"This... but General Ye has made a lot of contributions. He used to follow General Ye and can be called a member of the Yeh family. No matter how big the crime he has committed, he should..."
"Humph!" Zhuge Xiaoyu interrupted him with a heavy snort. "A member of the Yeh family? The men of the Yeh family are all heroes. How can an arrogant and reckless man who only has the surname Ye, who doesn't even follow the military discipline, be called a member of the Yeh family? If there are more such people in the Yeh family, the wisdom of several generations will be destroyed. General Ye has strict military discipline and never shows favoritism. Not to mention Ye Hui, even if his children and grandchildren make a big mistake, he will also punish them. Today, even if General Ye is here, he will definitely behead you. "
"But..."
"Drag him to be beheaded quickly. Whoever tries to stop you, beat him with a stick!"
Zhuge Xiaoyu's heavy order showed her determination to execute Ye Hui, and also determined the fate of Ye Hui. Those who begged bitterly suddenly sighed, and no one dared to plead for mercy. Today's Zhuge Xiaoyu was different from the Zhuge Xiaoyu they knew before. After a great victory and her resolute momentum, they began to feel a suffocating pressure in front of her. At the same time, they also felt a deep admiration for her, and no longer looked down on her.
Ye Hui raised his hand to stop the two who wanted to drag him up. He laughed bitterly and said, "General Pingyun is right. I really have no face to call myself a member of the Yeh family. I accept this beheading wholeheartedly... I only hope that General Pingyun can solve a few questions for me before I die, so that I can die with no regrets."
"Speak," Zhuge Xiaoyu sat down and said without hesitation, her beautiful eyes filled with authority. Even she herself was beginning to feel more and more like a great general.
Ye Hui said, "The Great Gale Army has always had strict military discipline, but the defeat of the Great Gale Army today was due to their looting of the things abandoned by our army... Today, I heard that General Pingyun had ordered a large number of soldiers to buy all kinds of supplies in the city for entertainment. So it was for today. I want to know why General Pingyun was so sure that the Great Gale Army, which has strict military discipline, would loot and fall into chaos. "
This was Ye Hui's doubt, as well as the doubt of most of the people in the hall. With the military discipline of the Great Gale Army, they should not have broken the rules. However, Zhuge Xiaoyu had made extensive preparations a few days ago, and it was clear that she was sure of today's situation. In fact, the looting of the Great Gale Army had led to chaos, and they were defeated by the Sky Dragon Army.
