Chapter 345 Surrounded Zhao Yun (2/2)
Qiuliju's men were terrified by Zhao Yun's outburst. They kept falling back as they avoided fighting with him head-on. Yet, a few courageous soldiers charged at Zhao Yun and He Xing, planning to kill both of them.
”IN YOUR DREAM!”
*SWUA*
*SWUA*
Zhao Yun danced backward as if he had an eye behind his back. His after-images of spear thrust and his power-swing cleaned the field again.
Witnessing the unrivaled spearmanship, the legs of the surrounding soldiers turned into jellies.
Because of fear, no more soldiers attempted to charge at Zhao Yun and He Xing, but they still kept their encirclement formation.
Zhao Yun stared at these soldiers with a frown. This stalemate was favorable to him, but it harmed them in the long run. Once they regained their morale, Zhao Yun was not that confident that He Xing could get through this unharmed.
Meanwhile, Qiuliju had enough of his men's incompetence. Frustrated, Qiuliju kicked the sides of his horse, trying to lead the charge himself.
Suddenly,
”ATTACK!!”
”KILL!”
”SHAAAA!!”
Warcry echoed through the battlefield, but they were not from Qiuliju's side.
It was from Tian Yu's men!
Tian Yu and the few hundred surviving soldiers had gathered stray troops and formed a thousand-man battalion. They created a footman wedge array and ran at the encirclement around Zhao Yun.
Qiuliju also had to shift his attention to Tian Yu. He led a detached platoon of a thousand soldiers to engage the oncoming charge.
A thousand infantries of Tian Yu and Qiuliju's Wuwan soldiers collided!
As Tian Yu fought against Qiuliju's soldiers, he shouted, ”ZILONG, HANG IN THERE! WE'RE COMING!!”
Hearing the voice of Tian Yu, Zhao Yun swallowed his tears of joy and motivated himself.
'This is not over yet! I'm not alone!'

As a response to Tian Yu, Zhao Zilong released his warcry as he charged at the wall of soldiers on more time.
”Hiiikk!”
”He's coming again!”
”STEP BACK! STEP BACK!!”
In desperation, many soldiers decided to throw their weapons at Zhao Yun instead of fighting him in melee combat. As a result, spears were thrown at him as if they were javelins.
'SHIT!'
This was the worst-case scenario that Zhao Yun never wanted to experience. Once these soldiers started throwing spears, all infantries would transform into ranged-soldiers, which could threaten He Xing's safety.
Moreover, Zhao Yun could not parry throwing spears as he did with arrows!
*CLANK*
*CLANK*
He managed to divert two spears from himself. However, three more spears came toward He Xing.
The empress ducked as she pressed Liu Xie under her body.
*SWOOSH*
*SWOOSH*
*SWOOSH*
The spears missed! Had the empress did not dodge them, she would have died.
Zhao Yun's heart was on his throat. That was too close!
When Zhao Yun sighed a relief that both He Xing and Liu Xie were alright, Qiuliju detached from the combat against Tian Yu and galloped to this direction.
”SHA!!”
Inspired by his panicking soldiers, Qiuliju threw his spear at He Xing!
In desperation, Zhao Yun got in front of He Xing as he parried the oncoming spear.
*CLANK*
The spear was diverted from the mother and son, but Zhao Yun lost his momentum.
Qiuliju charged at them as he pulled out his secondary weapon, a long sword.
”DIE!!”
Zhao Yun pulled He Xing and Liu Xie out of the charging horse's path and braced the impact.
Qiuliju's sword missed all of them, but his horse rammed against Zhao Yun's chest.
The valiant youth spat a mouthful of blood, but he managed to catch the horse rein. By the momentum of the horse charge and the horse rein, Zhao Yun swung his entire body onto the back of Qiuliju's horse while the owner was dumbfounded by the maneuvering.
Qiuliju tried to stab Zhao Yun, but he could not as his lower body was facing the opposite direction where Zhao Yun was standing.
”RAH!!”
Zhao Yun pulled Qiuliju from the horseback as both of them fell on the ground. He caught Qiuliju's wrist and disarmed the long sword.
”YOU!”
An elbow slammed onto Qiuliju's face. With the momentary chance, Zhao Yun snatched the long sword and thrust downward at Qiuliju's face.
*SOEK*
The sword dug into Qiuliju's forehead, which it penetrated through his skull.
The Wuwan tribe leader fell!
