Volu Out in Three Directions
<blockquote class="Quote">— Tingfei</e his horse to the top of a low slope, Li Xian’s eyes were as bright as torches S ar for the arrival of the eneanization, Li Xian had reassu responsibility for the annihilation of the Northern Han army Because Jishi+ was the main direction that the Northern Han army would try to break out toward, Li Xian personally took command of the main arhting, the well-trained and forle of the Northern Han arsun Ji, he was responsible for restricting the area that the Northern Han ar fro in failure, they had no choice but to retreat This was all because of Zhangsun Ji Of course, Li Xian’s forceful defense was the primary reason behind the inability of the Northern Han army to escape the encirclement After years of war, the present situation was the first ti of co the situation
However, Li Xian still felt gloo Zhe’s mood had been quite poor these days and had not paid the least bit of attention towardsbooks or practicing calligraphy Every single tirow frosty, aler was not solely directed at Li Xian When Zhangsun Ji was free and asked for aChi had been kicked out by Jiang Zhe As for Li Xian, he did not knohy this formerly cultured and scholarlyhis head, Li Xian cast aside the distracting thoughts in his head and looked forward He had received the intelligence about Daizhou yesterday Stirred, he had fired an arrow carrying a letter to Lin Bi It could be assumed that the morale of the Daizhou army was definitely shaky Based upon scout reports, the Northern Han ar these two days In all likelihood, the Northern Han army’s breakout would either be today or tomorrow And since daas the most crucial moment, he had come personally to oversee the defenses
Suddenly, the fored Li Xian’s heart raced, and he lifted his head to look Right when the first ray of the early ed like a sharp arrow at the Yong ar, brandishi+ng a silver spear and wearing a brocade silk cloak with golden phoenix eh Lin Bi wore her hel features that were as beautiful as jade Her warhorse was a proud dragon, she was a flying phoenix It was only that her face was icy, inevitably reducing some of her charm
Li Xian felt hisin his eyes was that wo, valiant and heroic beauty While Li Xian was hesitating, Lin Bi had already charged alone into the Yong army’s eastern enca away all those that opposed her Behind her, the Daizhou ars and let fly their arrohile those at the front brandished their weapons and charged into the Yong encampment The volleys of arrows like a torrential rainstor to avoid the bodies of the Daizhou ar soldiers
Li Xian was startled, pro, the dru aran to retreat in succession The troops on the flanks withdrew at a slower pace, desiring to surround the Daizhou army This was a consistent method they had used to deal with the Daizhou army
As a seasoned commander, Lin Bi naturally understood that it was necessary to control the te surrounded on three sides However, this time, Lin Bi had a different option She loudly shouted, “The people of our homeland all hope for our return! Comrades, kill!”
Afterwards, without any worries, she charged into the er, the Daizhou ar clearly, Lin Bi used her silver spear to knock a lance aside and stabbed her spear towards the throat of the Yong horse horseman’s bloodshot eyes made him look especially sinister With a shout, he cast aside his lance before catching the silver spearhead with his bloody hands Even if he were to die, he had no intention of releasing his grip on the silver spear On her horse, Lin Bi turned around, drawing the precious saber at her waist The saber flashed through the air and chopped off her opponent’s ar the throat of a frantically attacking Yong soldier The prized saber turned around and chopped off the head of another Yong soldier Afterwards, the saber returned to its scabbard
Having killed three people in an instant, Lin Bi was as savage and hateful as an asura Her beautiful complexion was like a violent flower that bloo blossoement of her frantic attacks, the Daizhou ar abilities After they were surrounded, alainst multiple opponents However, based on their consummate horsee With this, the Daizhou ar that was covered in sharp blades, slicing through each layer of the Yong arinally, he had expected that the Daizhou arht that Lin Bi had used the goal of returning to their hoht now, it seeht to the death had been strengthened and the eastern encaht not necessarily be held However, if he sent reinforce assault by the Qinzhou army would be difficult to deal with From the start, Li Xian had expected that some conflicts would erupt between the Qinzhou and Daizhou armies, as the Daizhou army was h and divert the Yong army’s attention However, the Daizhou ar to sacrifice theone so far as to be perfectly willing to fight the first round on Long Tingfei’s behalf Could it be that she was no longer worrying about the losses suffered by the Daizhou are, it was useless to overthink matters To the soldier who had come from the eastern encampment to request reinforce that he won’t have any reinforcements If his fifty thousand troops can’t stop the Daizhou ariveness He can simply cut his own throat”
At this h the eastern encampment’s first defensive line Lin Bi picked up the oppressive pounding of dru people feel like they were being oppressed by thick layers of dark clouds Lin Bi lifted her eyes to look and caught sight of nine Yong infantry squares waiting Each square was coe shi+elds the size of a man Behind the shi+elds were densely packed spears, followed by sword and axe infantry Bringing up the rear were archers Behind these formations was another square and contained a nueneral Upon the banners was flaraphy with the character luo (羅)
A cold light flashed across Lin Bi’s eyes Raising her silver spear, she pointed at the Yong squares and shouted, “Fire!”
Not slowing down in the slightest, the Daizhou horse archers were only two hundred paces ahen the first volley of arrows hit the Yong formation and only fifty paces when the fifth volley flew out Having fired five volleys in hundred fifty paces, the horse archery of the Daizhou army could be said to be matchless in the world The accurate archery suppressed the Yong ar bowing at the waist while hiding underneath their shi+elds As a result, their vigor inevitably weakened At thisformations Warhorses slammed into the shi+elds and spears stabbed into bodies The two armies did not cease their volleys Like a rainstor archers loosed arrows as if their lives depended on it, wanting to halt the Daizhou army’s advance, while the Daizhou army returned volleys demonlike On their horses, the Daizhou horse archers perfor sabers, stabbing with spears and lances However, they could still under these various circumstances shoot arrows at the enemy
The first and second infantry squares broke At thisca cavalry forrouped and attacked from the rear The horse archers at the rear of the Daizhou ar cavalry attack As the two armies collided, the Daizhou army’s offensive was checked
At this very moment, the Northern Han army’s commander-in-chief banner appeared on the horizon The banner fluttered in the breeze and the crack horserand Northern Han ar ar (龍) banner fluttering in the breeze, Li Xian an to issue a series of orders,troops to advance and welcofei’s assault was unstoppable, Li Xian had o The troops that accofei were composed entirely of the remnants of those who had retreated in defeat from Qinyuan They had always been elite troops ere surpassingly brave In addition, the humiliation they felt was extremely intense As a result, they practically used their lives to fight with the Northern Han aruarantee that the Northern Han army could not break out from here This was the sole conviction these troops held
The two arether—one side risked their lives to break through, while the other sole could be called extre cavalryman knocked an enemy horseman off his horse, the Northern Han horseman who had been stabbed by the lance s another Northern Han rider to kill the Yong cavalry cavalrymen flanked from the sides and simultaneously pierced the Northern Han rider with their lances Not far aas a blood-covered Northern Han soldier Glaring with bloodshot eyes, he fired the crossbow in his hand The crossbow bolt pierced through the ar cavalryazed calculatedly at the chaotic fighting Even if he and his ht of retreat,<sup>1</sup> it wasn’t so easy to break through the Yong arhtly chilly spring air In the air, aside fro sfei brandished the halberd in his hand and loudly declared, “Follow ed forward Behind him, his personal troops in scarlet armor whistled loudly as they too brandished their weapons Like an unstoppable wildfire, their assault caught the attention of everyone present Automatically, the Northern Han formation split apart to allow them to pass The fiery red flood took a spearhead for army’s center, while the other Northern Han troops autoly forrew chaotic
Seeing this, Li Xian sht several ti Tingfei’s arrogance Although he could not but admire his opponent at heart, it was impossible for Li Xian to bow his head and adle horns thundered through the air
Just as Li Xian was about to spur his horse forward and charge in, one of Li Xian’s bodyguards, Zhuang Jun, advanced and stopped hihness, what use are the claws of a tiger that has coer a threat and will be captured sooner rather than later Your Ie is priceless and should not personally go into battle If you suffered any mishaps, wouldn’t it be a failure at the final hurdle?”
Li Xian laughed heartily and replied, “If the coht personally, how can he boost the arfei for many years, how can this Prince not see hie of his journey? Get out ofJun out of the way, Li Xian quickly took the lead to welcouard of the Northern Han ared forward, protecting Li Xian in their ed at the center of the battlefield The whinnying of the warhorses, the hoarse shouts of the soldiers, and the painful groans of the dying were interwoven together Practically everyone present lost their heads to the blood and killing atmosphere This bloodthirsty atfei and Li Xian’s eyes uards, azes remained on each other The weapons in their hands could only eliht countless tih the two had never met in hand-to-hand coure of their opposite nu finally reached the final determination of life and death, the two acted at practically the sah the protective layer of their bodyguards
The halberd arced through the air, while the lance stabbed forward The teapons collided before swiftly separating Like a surging tide, the two co to place their respective coain However, the teapons created gales full of internal energy, uards to close The two’s fierce battle reseer,<sup>3</sup> as neither had any intention of retreating
Knocking aside the halberd that lunged for his throat, Li Xian’s eyes were burning with an ardent blaze It was this man before him who had repeatedly caused him to repeatedly experience the pain of defeats, repeatedly escaping narrowly Over these years, he had acquired not a fe scars, all bestowed by this h, Li Xian did not feel any hatred for Long Tingfei, probably since he had constantly struggled at the boundary between life and death because of thisaway at the sincere sorrow in his heart
In this lifetih they had not fought on the battlefield, it was very clear that, because of the defeat in the struggle for succession, he would always be vanquished by Imperial Brother The other individual who had defeated Li Xian, leaving him completely powerless to retaliate, was the h the retreat in defeat fro the enemy into the ambush, if Li Xian asked hihtforwardly on the battlefield at Qinyuan But aside from the respect he felt, Li Xian also had an unfathoht in an enveloper control his fate, Li Xian felt if he were Long Tingfei, he would rather die on the battlefield Ferociously scolding his own bafflement, Li Xian spared no effort to knock aside the halberd that had been thrust at hifei’s chest
It was this h repeatedly defeated, as not cowed and directly hout, this Li Xian had fei felt as if he were a whetstone, honing the le tie forward undaunted by all perils, unafraid of death when covering the rear Long Tingfei always felt respect There was no one else like the h he was an honored e, Li Xian still fought in spite of all risks and dangers to his life Long Tingfei sighed softly in his head At present, the man before him had been tempered into steel As for himself, his halberd would be broken and he was to fall on the shore of the Qin River Lifting his lids to look over, Long Tingfei saw that his opponent’s serene and deep eyes were filled with fire and killing intent Long Tingfei shtly and swept his halberd forward If the two of them could both be buried here on this battlefield, it would be worth it
It was a rarely seen spectacle to have two coh this was the case, their bodyguards were drenched with cold sweat If their commander-in-chief died before them, it would be an extraordinary shafei and Li Xian beca wind that forced all those nearby to retreat several ht around theh the different styles made it possible to identify the eneuish between friend and foe As a result, no more volleys were fired in this direction
After desperately dueling for dozens of bouts, the foreheads of both Long Tingfei and Li Xian were covered with sweat Both men were a match for ten thousandWith little difference in their skills, the duel increasingly consuth However, those with discerning eyes could judge that Long Tingfei had slightly gained the upper hand After all, he had once received guidance fron and his e was his tenacity After battling painstakingly for er on numerous occasions In battle, his martial arts had been teed and persistent Although Long Tingfei held the advantage, Li Xian’s defense was extraordinarily tight Even if they fought another hundred bouts, he would not be defeated
