The cultivators guarding Huyan Bao found it difficult to escape from the chaos. Suddenly, a man descended from the sky like a stone splashing against a wave, pushing back the cultivators who were surrounding him.
The person who had just arrived was the Huyan Clan's steward. He was also Huyan Wuhen's personal bodyguard. He snatched Huyan Bao away. Then, he backhandedly shot out a palm strike, and sent a group of Jin State's soldiers flying.
However, he was like a stone that had been thrown into a river and created a splash. The Jin Nation troops ignored him and continued to charge towards the Qi Nation troops.
The eyes of the Cloud Tool Sect Elder beside Gao Pin flashed. He suddenly shot out and pounced down from the sky. He grabbed a huge Astral Hammer from the void and smashed it down.
Cha Hu, who was flying with Huyan Bao in his arms, suddenly heard the sound of wind and thunder. He looked up and saw a sudden attack. The huge hammer came crashing down like thunder. Seeing that it was about to hit his head, he hurriedly loosened his arm and raised his elbow to block it.
Bang! The Astral Hammer and his elbow collided in the air, creating a loud noise.
The Astral Hammer was shaken off, and Cha Hu fell to the ground. When he landed, he waved his arm and swept away the soldiers who were stabbing at him.
The Cloud Tool Sect Elder spun in the air, gathered his strength, and swung his hammer down again.
Cha Hu looked up at the sky, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Then, he looked back at the dying Huyan Bao. Without hesitation, he blasted away the soldiers who were blocking his way and rushed out. He killed his way out of the entangled cultivators, grabbed Huyan Bao, and leaped over the chaotic army, quickly escaping.
The Cloud Tool Sect Elder gave chase for a while, but when he looked back and saw Gao Pin, he was afraid that something might happen to the commander. He returned to Gao Pin's side and said, "I'm ashamed. I let Huyan Bao escape. However, Huyan Bao was hit in the vitals. I'm afraid he won't survive."
Gao Pin nodded slightly and quickly put this matter to the back of his mind. He focused on commanding the battlefield.
Once the order to retreat was given, it was inevitable that people would trample on each other in this area. Most importantly, there were too many people.
After the Jin army arrived, groups of archers pulled their bows and shot a rain of arrows into the sky from the top of the mountain on both sides of the three slopes.
The shooting direction was not directed downwards because the three slopes were still relatively wide. Even if two mountains were to be shot at each other, the shooting distance would not be able to cross each other, and it would be even more difficult to shoot downwards.
The mountain path was difficult to traverse, and there was not enough time to get ahead of the two flanks. Gao Pin could just order them to control the middle section.
In an instant, a torrent of arrows flew into the sky and landed on the battlefield.
The retreating Qi army in the middle of the three slopes was thrown into chaos again. Behind them, the Jin army was charging in and the retreating Qi army had completely lost their order.
Huyan Wuhen hastily set up a defensive line on a slope. This was to prevent the fleeing troops from the front from attacking the troops at the rear. This prevented the army from falling into disorder.
Only after the troops at the back had retreated did they open up the net and let the troops at the front return. The troops at the back of the line of defense would cover the rear.
Huyan Wuhen, who had broken away from the retreating army, hastily reorganized the chaotic army to prevent the Jin army from attacking the collapsed allied forces of Qi and Wei.
The troops at the back of the first slope slowly retreated as well, giving up on defending the first slope. There was no other way. The Jin army had the geographical advantage. When the Jin army from the two flanks reached the first slope, they could attack from both flanks and attack from the front. The first slope was impossible to defend.
After the allied forces of Qi and Wei had retreated to the plains, they had already regrouped and prepared for battle. However, their morale was low.
A figure returned with Huyan Bao in his arms. It was Cha Hu. He slowly placed Huyan Bao on the ground.
Huyan Wuhen got off his horse. Seeing his son, who was still twitching, he looked at Cha Hu.
Cha Hu's expression was solemn. He shook his head slightly. "I've tried my best."
He had already led his men away from the battlefield and performed emergency treatment. However, Huyan Bao had been hit by a few arrows. It was already a miracle that he was still breathing.
Huyan Wuhen understood what he meant.
A cultivator with disheveled hair and a dirty face appeared. He shook his head with tears in his eyes. "It was my fault for failing to protect the young general. However, everything happened too suddenly. My mount suddenly flipped over. Before I could figure out what happened, the rain of arrows had already covered us. I didn't have time to …"
Huyan Wuhen raised his hand and stopped him from speaking any further. He knelt down on one knee in front of his son. His lips were tightly pursed.
"Father …" Blood gushed out from the corner of Huyan Bao's mouth. It was unknown what he wanted to say. His eyes emitted a strange radiance. He slowly raised his trembling hand.
Anyone with experience could tell that he was in a state of terminal lucidity.
Huyan Wuhen reached out to hold his son's hand. However, the moment their hands touched, the hand that he had raised fell to the ground powerlessly. Huyan Bao's head tilted to one side. He stopped moving. His eyes were completely dim. Blood was still flowing out from the corner of his mouth.
A few arrows were still stuck in his body. They had hit his vital points. Cha Hu didn't dare to pull them out recklessly.
Huyan Wuhen's outstretched hand froze. He slowly raised his head to look at the sky. He slowly closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Everyone around them fell silent. Even Weiguo and the others, who had come in anger, were speechless. They had wanted to question them, but their son had died in battle. How could they say that the Qi army was forcing the guards to die?
Huyan Wuhen suddenly stood up. He took a deep breath and said, "Collect the corpse!"
He didn't say anything special, nor did he reveal any sadness. It was as if nothing had happened. He expressionlessly looked in the direction of the San Dao Slope. The corpse-strewn San Dao Slope had been reoccupied by the Jin army.
Guards came from both sides and silently carried Huyan Bao's corpse away.
In the direction of the mountain range, more and more cultivators were rushing back.
Tang Yi was very anxious. She looked around. Only a portion of the Sect's disciples had returned. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
Tang Susu had returned. She led a dozen disciples and flew back. They were all battered and exhausted after meeting each other.
The situation was too chaotic. They had rushed out from both sides of the San Dao Slope and made a detour before returning.
Tang Susu's hair was disheveled. Three arrows were stuck in her back. Her back was stained red with blood.
She was in a hurry to escape. She was afraid that she would lose too much blood if she couldn't control her injuries. Therefore, she didn't pull out the arrows.
"Elder!" A group of people surrounded her, and Tang Yi personally helped her pull out the arrow on her back. She then asked, "Are you alright?"
"I won't die." Tang Susu shook her head. Then, she pointed at the arrows on the ground and said angrily, "Look, these were shot by our own people. I was busy fighting with the enemy cultivators in front of me. I didn't expect that our own people behind me would shoot randomly. I didn't die in the hands of the enemy, but I almost died in the hands of our own people. What a bunch of bastards!"
Elder Luo Yuangong, who was also in a bad situation, said with a bitter smile, "This is how it is in a chaotic situation. Everyone is in a killing frenzy. There are dangers everywhere. It's normal for our own people to accidentally injure our own people. I don't think it was intentional."
Elder Su Po, whose hair was half disheveled, asked, "Elder Tang, where are the people you brought?"
Tang Susu looked around at the dozens of disciples of the Qing Sect and shook her head. "They are the only ones left."
Tang Yi was worried. The Shanghai Sect had lost almost half of its members in just one battle!
There was no other way. The entire Imperial Guard Army was forced to fight desperately. Even the three major sects of Wei Country were involved. How could the Shanghai Sect be spared …
The army of Jin had already recovered two slopes and occupied one more.
On a slope, Gao Pin sat on the back of a horse and looked at the enemy's formation in the distance.
A general came to him and presented a tattered flag. It was the flag of the Valiant Cavalry Army.
Gao Pin took it in his hand and looked at it. Suddenly, he looked up to the sky and laughed heartily.
Many generals around him also laughed. The Elder of the Cloud Equipment Sect stroked his long beard and smiled.
After laughing to his heart's content, Gao Pin threw the flag back. "Keep it well. Send someone to give it to His Majesty. This is a gift from my army to His Majesty! Immediately clean up the battlefield to prevent the enemy from attacking again! "
"Yes!" The generals obeyed.
At this moment, a group of people carried a corpse over. A general choked with sobs. "Marshal!"
Gao Pin looked back. It was a mutilated corpse covered in blood. The body was pierced with the symbolic arrows of Jin Country. There were also several wounds from swords and spears. He was not sure if he was shot by his own people when the Jin army counterattacked or killed by the enemy. His face was trampled by horses' hooves. However, the big beard was easy to recognize.
Gao Pin's face twitched. He turned over and got off the horse. His footsteps were heavy. Facing the corpse, his lips were tight and he could not say anything for a long time.
When he asked the big beard to lead the army to guard the back of the second slope, he knew that it was a narrow escape.
However, there was no other way. Someone had to block the enemy temporarily. For the success of the plan, he could not let the enemy soldiers rush down and find out that there was something wrong with the ground. Once it was exposed, the Valiant Cavalry Army would not fall into the crucial trap that would decide the victory or defeat.
The big beard and his tens of thousands of people were sent to die by him!
"The enemy outnumbered us. There was nothing we could do." A cultivator covered in blood said sadly.
Gao Pin took a deep breath and glanced at him coldly. "Then how did you come back alive?"
The cultivator said, "I couldn't hold them back anymore."
Gao Pin said coldly, "You abandoned the general who was guarding the rear and ran away?"
The cultivator hurriedly waved his hand. "No, no, no. General Sun died in the battle. That's why I left."
Gao Pin asked, "Did anyone witness it?"
"Well …" The cultivator looked around. "I don't know if anyone saw it."
Gao Pin said, "Your duty is to protect the general. Now that he is dead, how dare you come back? Guards! Take him away and behead him! "
The law enforcers on both sides immediately rushed over and held him down. The cultivator said in panic, "Marshal, Marshal … Elder, Elder, save me!"
"Wait!" The elder of the Cloud Tool Sect reached out to stop him. He said, "Lord Gao, it was difficult for the people guarding the rear to survive. We can't blame him."
Gao Pin stared at him without saying a word.
The elder of the Cloud Tool Sect felt a little awkward under Gao Pin's stare. He sighed and said, "He is a descendant of the Tai-shu Clan after all."
Slowly, Gao Pin said, "Elder, countless soldiers fought and bathed in blood for the Tai-shu Clan's territory. If the Tai-shu Clan doesn't cherish it, how can the soldiers who died in the battle endure it? Look … "He waved his hand and pointed to the enemy camp in the distance." Huyan Wuhen is preparing the army for war again. In the future, when our Great Jin attacks Qi, there will be a long and bloody battle. If we encounter danger and difficulties on the battlefield, everyone will value their own lives and abandon the general. How will the general be able to command the battle with peace of mind? Elder, tell me, how will we fight this battle when the time comes? "
There was no need to clarify the situation. In short, he must kill this descendant of the Tai-shu Clan from the Cloud Tool Sect today!
The elder of the Cloud Tool Sect fell silent. He looked at the disciples of the Cloud Tool Sect, whose eyes were filled with anticipation. Finally, he closed his eyes and turned his head to the side.
Gao Pin said decisively, "Drag him away and behead him!"
The person was immediately dragged away, screaming in fear. "Elder, Elder, Elder … Ah!" Accompanied by a scream, a head fell to the ground. The execution was carried out.
