Yan Duo was speechless. He couldn't continue to stop the other party from carrying out the mission. Otherwise, if this person pushed the responsibility onto him, he wouldn't be able to bear it.
He didn't know that Xiang Wuren had already issued a military order to Zhou Shouxian.
There was no time for Yan Duo to say anything. Xiang Wuren's troops quickly gathered and the warhorses hidden in the mountains had already heard the news.
Four cultivators who were scouting quickly came back to report, "There is an ambush in the mountains. I don't know the exact number, but it should be a lot!"
There was really an ambush? Feng Ruonan was shocked. Her long tassel appeared in her hand and her aura changed. She waved her spear and shouted, "Get into formation!"
The cavalry and infantrymen quickly got into battle formation. They raised their shields, and the archers drew their arrows from their quivers and nocked them on their bows.
Shang Chaozong gestured with his hand, and all the cavalrymen quickly raised their weapons in preparation.
Bai Yao gestured to his fellow sect members to his left and right and they immediately got ready.
Soon, a large group of people rushed out of the forest in front of them. For those who had some experience on the battlefield, they could roughly estimate that there were no less than ten thousand people.
Xiang Wuren rushed out of the forest with his spear in hand and arrived in front of the formation. Yan Duo and the other cultivators slowly rode behind him.
"As expected, they didn't run away!" Xiang Wuren laughed and suddenly pointed his spear forward, "Cavalry charge, infantry bring up the rear, we must tie them down!"
Someone beside him immediately took out a horn and blew it with his cheeks puffed up, issuing a muffled "wu wu" sound, giving the order to attack.
"Kill!" The cavalry commander waved his long tassel and roared. In an instant, thousands of warhorses galloped out in a cone formation, shouting and charging, causing the earth to rumble and tremble.
At the rear of the cavalry formation, Xiang Wuren patted his horse and calmly pressed down. Behind him was an infantry formation formed by nine thousand soldiers.
Seeing that the enemy had directly launched an attack, those who had never seen such an offensive formation would be shocked. Niu Youdao had seen the world in his previous life, but he had never seen a scene where tens of thousands of people fought with cold weapons.
Bai Yao and the other cultivators utilized their magic eyes to quickly assess the enemy's vanguard. It was unknown what they were looking for.
Feng Ruonan glanced at Shang Chaozong, "Prince, the people to capture you are here. You are outnumbered, aren't you afraid? If you want to escape, do it as soon as possible. It'll be too late if you're late. "
Shang Chaozong turned around and glared at him.
Feng Ruo Nan said disdainfully: "I have long heard of King Ning's fame in battle, but it has nothing to do with you. It's useless for you people to block in front, it's better to hide behind! Hurry up and retreat with your men. Don't block the way. This general will protect you. Don't worry! "
This time, it wasn't just Shang Chaozong, all the personal guards tensed their cheeks and looked over. Thinking back to the days when Wu Lie Graud's might shook the world, it was their pride. When had they ever been looked down upon like this, to the point where they needed a woman to protect them!
Niu Youdao looked at these people's expressions and knew that something was wrong. He cursed inwardly and hurriedly advised Shang Chaozong, "Prince, don't let your emotions affect your decisions!"
Shang Chaozong ignored him and turned to look at his sister Shang Shuqing. He then took out his Zhanmadao that was slung on the back of his horse.
Shang Shuqing took off her gauze hat and threw it away, revealing her ugly face. She took out a piece of cloth from the bundle on the back of the horse and shook it open in the wind. It was a big red flag that was as red as flames, and a golden eagle was soaring like a phoenix bathed in fire.
There were a few holes on the flag, which seemed to have been made by arrows.
Hundreds of personal guards stared at the flag. Their chests were heaving up and down, their emotions were indescribable. One of the personal guards handed over a spear.
The spear was used as a pole to cover the flag. Shang Shuqing raised the spear and raised the flag, which fluttered in the wind.
Feng Ruo Nan and the rest of Guang Guang Province's troops all looked at the tattered flag fluttering in the wind!
Seeing that the situation wasn't right, Bai Yao said solemnly, "Prince, the enemy's target is you. Don't be rash!"
Shang Chaozong ignored him and looked to the front. The enemy cavalry had already closed the distance. He raised his Zhanmadao and shouted, "Who is willing to die!"
The personal guards behind him suddenly roared in unison, "Wu Lie!" They all drew out their Zhanmadao and an intense killing intent filled the air.
This collective roar came without any warning, giving Feng Ruo Nan and her men a fright.
Shang Chaozong roared again, "Who is willing to die!"
The personal guards behind him roared in unison, "Me!"
Shang Shuqing also shouted at the top of his lungs, "Me!" At this moment, no one cared if she was ugly or not. No one paid attention to her appearance.
Lan Ruoting, that scholarly looking man also shouted loudly. He drew out his sword from his waist!
Who is willing to die? Me! This question and answer caused everyone in Guang Yi Prefecture to be shocked!
Niu Youdao turned back to look at this group of lunatics. Yuan Fang and the rest of the monks were stunned. Yuan Gang turned back abruptly and stared at these people with a taut face!
"Prince …" Niu Youdao still wanted to stop him.
Shang Chaozong had already reined in his warhorse. The horse's hooves landed on the ground and it shot out like an arrow. He took the lead and brandished his Zhanmadao as he charged at the very front.
There were no shouts of killing. Hundreds of personal guards quickly galloped out and chased after him. The killing intent seemed to burst out along with the rumbling of the hooves.
Shang Shuqing, who looked like a weak girl, carried the battle flag and followed closely behind her brother. Lan Ruoting, that scholarly looking man who was always rational, did the same.
For dignity and honor! This group of weak remnants of King Ning's old troops all rushed out. It was as if they were letting out a final hysterical cry for the dead and the living. Whether it was the weak girl or the scholarly man, no one hesitated. They pressed forward and charged head-on into the enemy cavalry that outnumbered them.
This group of people, faced with such a scene, seemed to have lost all rationality!
Niu Youdao's scabbard in his hand stretched out horizontally and stopped Yuan Gang who was about to charge out on his horse! With so many and such ferocious warhorses charging in formation, even he did not dare to say that he could protect himself under the chaos of swords and spears. How could he let Yuan Gang take the risk!
The moment this group of troops charged out, there were clearly not many people, but the aura that they gathered in an instant fiercely smashed into Feng Ruo Nan's heart. She also knew what was good for her.
Feng Ruo Nan stared at the man who was leading the charge. She forcefully curled her lips and said with disdain, "As the commander, you don't think about how to command. Instead, you charge like a headless fly, showing off your bravery!" Although she said this, she was clear in her heart that in this kind of situation, Shang Chaozong's subordinates did not need any command.
"Princess, now is not the time to let your emotions affect your decisions. Are you still not going to send out the troops?" Bai Yao reprimanded in a low voice.
Feng Ruo Nan, "No rush. Let him test the strength of the enemy before making a response. You guys just need to pay attention to him!"
Since she said this, Bai Yao did not say anything else. Feng Ruo Nan was an expert in commanding battles on the battlefield.
Bai Yao waved his hand to signal. Immediately, two aurous core stage cultivators rushed out. Their goal was naturally to protect Shang Chaozong and prevent any accidents from happening.
Actually, under normal circumstances, cultivators would not directly charge into the battlefield to fight. The key was that a small number of cultivators wouldn't be of much use. Even if you could chase the army away, how many could you kill? If the army didn't run and charged towards you, how many could you block? When the morale of the army collapsed, no matter how strong you were, no one would listen to you. A small number of cultivators fighting with the army would at most increase the number of casualties. The larger the scale of the battle, the smaller the impact of the cultivators participating in the battle. As for those whose cultivation was so high that they could change the outcome of a war with their individual strength, they were already standing at the top of the food chain. They only needed to control a few people. What was the point of participating in such a massacre and bearing the sin of killing?
Just like what Feng Ruo Nan said, the commander was not used to charge and break through enemy lines. He was used to command, and the role of the followers was to protect the commander.
Rumble! The cavalry of both sides fiercely collided. Shang Chaozong swung his blade with both arms and smashed away the spear of the enemy general. The moment the two sides crossed paths, he slashed back with his blade and the enemy general fell off his horse. It was a clean kill. It could be seen that he was also familiar with fighting on horseback.
The people of both sides collided with each other. People were thrown off their horses, horses jumped, and people roared.
Shang Chaozong swung his Zhanmadao left and right. Blood splattered all over his face and body. The personal guards on his left and right followed closely, not letting him be left alone. When someone fell off his horse, the people behind would immediately rush forward, desperately filling the gap. This was to maintain the rhythm of the attack and also to protect Shang Chaozong.
The entire Ying Yang Wu Lie Graud team worked very well together. Some people even risked their lives to maintain the integrity of the charging formation, to maintain the maximum power of the charging formation.
Among the group of men, the skinny Shang Shuqing carried the battle flag on her shoulder. She gritted her teeth. Although she was used to seeing things in the army, it was her first time entering the battlefield to fight for her life. She was not like her brother, who was forced to go to the battlefield by her father when he was still young. It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid and nervous. However, she had no other choice.
Severed limbs, severed heads, miserable screams, swords and spears dancing in the air, blood splashing everywhere, and the thick smell of blood lingering in the air. Amidst the sounds of metal clashing, the pungent smell of blood made Shang Shuqing want to vomit. She resisted the urge to shake her head and blinked away the blood that had splashed in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and chased after her brother with all her might. She was almost hugging the flag in her arms. She pulled out a sword with one hand to control the reins. Occasionally, she would be attacked by swords and spears. Fortunately, most of the attacks were blocked by her personal guards.
Although Lan Ruoting knew swordsmanship, he could not use any fancy moves. He just slashed and slashed randomly with his sword. His swordsmanship could only be said to strengthen his body. Usually, it could only be used for simple self-defense. On the battlefield, it was just for show. It was not enough. Fortunately, he had his personal guards to protect him.
The cavalry of both sides quickly split up after killing each other. The cavalry carrying the Wolf Fang Bandits' flag were clearly in chaos. After charging through, they were scattered and could no longer form a group formation. On the other hand, Shang Chaozong's troops were still united. Wherever the battle flag went, everyone followed closely. The situation was as if the less than five hundred cavalry had killed thousands of enemy cavalry in a single charge.
Most of the people who fell to the ground were cavalry carrying the Wolf Fang Bandits' flag. With just a single charge, two to three hundred people had fallen. Shang Chaozong's troops had not suffered many losses.
They were outnumbered, yet they were beaten to such a state in just a single move? Xiang Wuren, who was leading his troops in suppressing the enemy's formation, was shocked. At this moment, he could faintly see the fluttering battle flag in Shang Chaozong's formation. He sucked in a breath of cold air and said in shock, "Ying Yang Wu Lie Graud? No wonder … "
Feng Ruonan, who was also suppressing the enemy's formation, held her breath and bit her lips. Her heart was filled with shock. Was this the legendary and undefeatable Ying Yang Wu Lie Graud of King Ning? She also felt a trace of shame in her heart. On the battlefield, everyone fought to be the first to die. No one had the right to humiliate such a brave and courageous army!
Slowly, Bai Yao said, "It is said that King Ning led ten thousand Ying Yang Wu Lie Graud to rescue the Emperor. They were able to pass through the Han army of a hundred thousand without any resistance. Now that I've seen them today, I can see that they live up to their reputation!"
