Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Master Qiguan, we already put in our best efforts!
The soldiers following behind Jiang Pengji witnessed their lord vanishing into the dust while they stood behind enveloped by the sand, how hopeless they must have felt. Qiguan Rang was left behind at Jiaoping district but he discreetly reminded many troops to follow closely behind the lord and not to let her go wild…
Indeed, even a group of strategists have no means to stop their lord, much less this group of soldiers. Killing can cause one to lose their rationality, the soldiers’ fighting spirits were resoundingly heightened, leading to hundreds of men running towards thousands of Tsing Yi army to carry out their killing spree.
The latter is only concerned with running in all directions and they had no means to assemble into an effective battle formation which could increase their defence. No matter how awe-inspiring the chieftain was, Tsing Yi soldiers were only interested in escaping for their lives. As Jiang Pengji witnessed their movement, she mocked them with disdain while she continued killing her enemies.
After a round of mass killing, hundreds of dead bodies lay on the streets. White’s fur was already stained scarlet red and only then did Jiang Pengji shout.
“Maolin district has been captured, you will meet your doom even if you escape back there! Those who surrender will not be killed! Death will be dealt to those who rebel!”
What?
Maolin district is already conquered?
Under the influence of this huge change of scenario, the chieftain of the Tsing Yi army knew all was lost, if they fail to escape then death is certain. They fled with all their might but they never imagined their hideout had been dominated by someone else. In their minds, they had been thinking of returning to reassemble then seek revenge another time.
Presently, without a territory and foundation, how are they going to start over?
With a jaded and discouraged heart, many Tsing Yi soldiers gave up on escaping and resisting. Yet there’s still a group who wilfully chose to struggle. Just then, the Tsing Yi soldier who was running right at the front vaguely heard a war cry, he looked closely only to see their enemies heading towards them ready to kill.
There was an obstruction in front, and behind there are troops after them, this group of Tsing Yi soldiers have no chance of escaping.
It took only a split second before their eyes shone with a blinding, bright light, the space between their brows is left with a slit where traces of red blood remained as fresh blood flowed freely from the wound. Their bodies followed their inertia to lean forward, then they fell flat on the ground where the grass and sand lay and they let out a dejected sound.
“Kill!”
Liyun was concise in his speech, his tone was somewhat solemn and cold, it caused one to inevitably become more alert and their hair stand on end.
Audiences in the live streaming room cast their foresight wider, from afar they could already see the Tsing Yi army’s strange movement. The formation they attempted to escape with was messy beyond measure. It seems like something was impeding their movement and when the scene was observed closely – Goodness, gracious, that White horse and silver spear, aren’t they Han Mei’s?
Jintian Yuepiao Boliangqian: “Ahahahaha —— superb coordination, my husband is heading over to kill!”
Woweinimen Qigeng: “This is too captivating, husband Han Mei is so handsome that I cannot keep my legs together, how can he be so handsome on the battlefield that my eyes cannot get enough of him.”
Congxiao Jiuhenbagua: “Exactly, exactly, Han Mei on the battlefield is truly like a god without doubt, the screen is rather dirty, allow me to lick it…. Pei! This isn’t right, speaking of which why am I, a grown man, fantasising about another man? I’m in trouble, I need my medicinal pill.”
Yuanyuan Xiatiao: “You are such old-fashioned people, am I the only one who noticed that when Han Mei rode the horse, he didn’t have a stirrup?”
Chisude Shuzi: “The viewer above is ridiculous. Our obsession is old fashioned, aren’t you dirty minded? Utterly disgusting.”
Yiye Chengzhou: “An innocent White comments that it is ignorant about what a stirrup is.”
Tianting Lingfeng: “Come, come, come – This old driver will tell you what this is about, without a stirrup to get up and ride the horse you will need mighty core strength, you know it!”
It was obviously a solemn and scenario where men burnt with fighting spirit. The audiences were raving about Jiang Pengji’s awe-inspiring disposition a second before yet at the next moment, they directed their attention towards Liyun who was so mesmerising. Never mind that, they even started making flirtatious remarks in the live streaming room —— Pei, pei, these capricious little devils.
Jiang Pengji, Liyun, and the rest obviously didn’t discuss tactics beforehand, their attack from both sides were purely coincidental and the Tsing Yi soldiers had very bad luck.
With only 800 elite soldiers with her, Liyun’s side didn’t have many men. In total, they had 1500 men on both sides. Nonetheless, the fighting spirit on their side was at its peak despite the long journey, the surrounding atmosphere encouraged the soldiers to conquer their foes. Everyone felt there was an endless energy flowing through them.
Liyun vanquished a wave of enemies, he also noticed Jiang Pengji and her group who attacked from behind, it made his heart elated.
“The lord is ahead, let’s head forward to help her!”
Meng Hun and Xu Ke had stayed back at Maolin district to hold the fort in case other forces secretly came to ambush them. While Liyun and Jiang Nongqin led hundreds of men to launch a surprise attack against the Tsing Yi army from behind. Coincidentally and completely unplanned, when they arrived, they witnessed their enemies fleeing in all directions.
Jiang Nongqin spoke softly, “All the generals follow me to attack and coordinate with the lord!”
Jiang Nongqin learnt under Jiang Pengji and Meng Hun that she prefers using light weapons when she gets off the horse, but while fighting on the horse she is comfortable using her spear. Because of limited strength, she also walks agilely and with light-footsteps, she takes the route that enables her to move swiftly. With this, she is more precise and accurate.
By killing with only one strike, her chances of surviving are higher.
Liyun and Jiang Nongqin have fought together multiple times so they coordinate well, both complemented each other and together their prowess increased.
He ordered the horse to move speedily then turned his body sideways to evade the unexpected arrow. “Seems like both Xiangyang and Maolin districts are safe.”
She made known her agreement without any other words. Liyun didn’t mind her cold nature either. On the battlefield it is inappropriate to make unnecessary contact. At this point, he is increasingly encouraged by these few masters, no matter where they went, they will not be at a disadvantage.
Their enemies in Maolin district had turned up in full force. But before they even took advantage of the situation at Xiangyang district, they were already defeated and beaten mercilessly. Moreover, they were chased after by his lord. Liyun wore a solemn expression, his usual bewildered face was completely absent. He held on to his silver spear tightly and he killed with precision and speed.
Behind him, there were hundreds of soldiers, they were mainly males but there were also female troops.
Although a woman is not as physically fit as man, every group has its advantages. The women troops present are the cream of the crop, their resilience and perseverance were unparalleled as they journeyed tirelessly, they never complained or whined. This unknowingly led others to overlook their gender.
Let alone Liyun who led the troops, even other male soldiers and even the women troops themselves slowly forgot about this.
“Kill——”
When a group of ravenous wolves run amidst the panic herd of sheep, what will it look like?
The Tsing Yi troops figured that they couldn’t escape, they can only brace themselves and fight head on. Yet how can they overcome this mighty army in high spirits?
They were in disarray upon contact with her troops, Jiang Pengji again shouted, “Those who surrender will be spared, otherwise, death is the only option left.”
When Liyun led his troops over, Jiang Pengji knew she already had dominion over the entire Fengyi county, but other than Xiangyang district, the other three districts were being exploited extensively by the Tsing Yi army. The people mostly fled the districts, this means that there’ll be no one to enlist when she rebuilds the three districts. Thus, rather than kill off the Tsing Yi soldiers before her, why not let them live to be manual labourers, at least they can contribute to the physical work.
In order to live, the Tsing Yi soldiers quickly lay down their weapons and surrendered. Those unwilling ones were killed on the spot.
