Chapter 332 Crossing the Defense Line

The bitter taste of the medicine in Yun Chen's mouth had not yet dissipated, and the soldiers of the Lion Army had not yet recovered from the battle that had just ended.

The clarion call for another battle has resounded through the sky.

Huo Gannian and Rong Jiang went through many hardships and set fire to the rebels' food warehouse, causing the rebels to mobilize hastily and exposing the weakest point of the defense line.

The rebels immediately swarmed in and opened the gap "gate" in the defense line.

Accompanied by the loud sound of the horn, Rong Yi and Luo Dongdong charged to the front, leading the entire Lion Army to break out.

Once we pass this line of defense, this "gate", we will truly withdraw from the southeast.

The Lion Army soldiers roared and rushed forward. No one looked back, but everyone was saying in their hearts:

"Goodbye, Guying City. Goodbye, Southeast."

Driven by guilt, the soldiers brandished their swords with great force, determined to die and even willing to die.

Amidst the noisy shouts of killing, Yun Chen lay on Shan Ji's back.

The other Wuzhi Blood Guards formed a blood-red safety circle, tightly protecting her and Huo Luyu on another horse, and quickly rushed into the center of the rebel defense line.

As if traveling through an endless storm, Yun Chen saw a huge fire rising into the sky in the distance. It should be the rebels' food depot.

All she could hear were the sounds of fighting and wailing, and countless blades grazed her calves, causing her to subconsciously hug Shan Ji even tighter.

She had no weapon and no strength to fight back. She only had the strength to lie on Shan Ji's back, but she didn't feel any fear at all.

As if leaning on the sturdiest warship in the world, she looked up at Shan Ji's tall and broad shoulders, feeling the strength coming from his shoulders and back every time he swung his sword. She inexplicably believed that Shan Ji would be able to lead her out of the siege.

Soon, Shan Ji and the Wuyi Blood Guards were trapped in the rebel group and began to fight with them in close combat.

Yun Chen could clearly see the rebels who were fully equipped and almost armed to the teeth, as well as countless volunteers who were wearing cloth and even holding crooked bows, but had firm and brave eyes.

Looking at it more carefully, Yun Chen couldn't help but feel shocked and burst into tears instantly.

The rebels were nothing more than a "crooked" group composed of civilian guards, thugs, farmers, and young men who volunteered to sacrifice their lives for their country.

Not only were their equipment scattered, but they had not received any pre-war training and had almost no idea how to fight.

She saw a rebel soldier accidentally drop his weapon during a battle. There were weapons scattered all over the ground, but he didn't pick them up. Instead, he was thinking about finding his weapon. As a result, the enemy took the opportunity to knock him to the ground.

Having lost his weapon, the soldier was powerless to fight back and his face was covered in blood. He could only hold on to the rebel's legs tightly, trying to hold the rebel back in this "suicidal" way.

The rebel was nearly knocked over by the hug and tried to hack at the soldier with all his might.

One knife, two knives, three knives...

The rebel soldier soon stopped moving, but his hands were still tightly clasped on the rebel's legs.

The rebel was so angry that he had to cut off the arm of the rebel soldier in order to escape.

Seeing this scene, Yun Chen's blood boiled. He wished he could take up his sword and go into battle himself to cut the rebel into pieces to vent his hatred!

But looking around, the situation is similar everywhere.

The rebels were not killing the rebels at all. They were throwing themselves forward with their lives, holding the rebels back with their bodies, and opening the "door" for the Lion Army to escape.

The soldiers of the Lion Army did not dare to fight any longer. They gritted their teeth and stepped over the corpses of the rebels, trying to rush through the defense line as quickly as possible in order to end the battle quickly and minimize the casualties of the rebels.

The Wuzhi Blood Guards also discovered the combat dilemma of the rebel army being "slaughtered".

Perhaps his "guardian" instinct was aroused, a Wuyi Blood Guard spat out a mouthful of blood foam and said to Shan Ji:

"Master! I think these rebels are too damn arrogant! I'm a little unhappy!"

Shan Ji pointed his chin at a chariot not far away and smiled evilly:

"See that guy in armor on the cart? He looks like the rebel leader, a bastard named Gao Junjie. If you're brave enough, go kill him and I'll give you my share of the gold!"

"Master, your words are your bond!" The Wuyi Blood Guard's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately rushed towards the chariot excitedly.

The rebel leader Gao Junjie obviously didn't know the Wuyi Blood Guards, and he didn't expect the other party to be so terrifying.

I saw a blood shadow flying up and down, and screams were heard wherever it passed.

His personal soldiers were like ants crushed by a chariot, and in the blink of an eye, only corpses were left on the ground.

Gao Junjie then realized that the blood shadow was coming towards him. He quickly lowered his head and tried to run away. As soon as he turned his head, he bumped into another person who was also coming to kill him.

When Gao Junjie looked up, he was immediately frightened and stood there.

The person in front of him stood majestically, his body covered in mottled black ash from the thick smoke, but that couldn't hide his fairy-like appearance and unattainable aura.

Behind a pair of extremely cold phoenix eyes, half of a dark and hideous "ghost face" was faintly visible, like an evil ghost parasitic on the back of Frost Fairy. Gao Junjie trembled with fear and almost knelt down.

Without a word, Huo Gannian raised the Hidden Moon Sword and stabbed it into Gao Junjie's chest.

He was about to draw his sword to strike again, but saw Gao Junjie's head fly high up, and then fell like rotten fruit, rolling into the boiling crowd of people fighting, and was trampled by the horses' hooves and disappeared.

The ungrateful Blood Guard who chopped off Gao Junjie's head smiled at Huo Gannian:

"Sorry, I was quick, there was nothing I could do. I killed that beast!"

Huo Gannian waved his hand nonchalantly, and the Wuyi Blood Guard immediately shouted happily to Shan Ji:

"Master! I killed Gao Junjie!"

When this voice came out, all the rebels around were stunned and instantly lost their fighting spirit.

Seeing this, the other Wuyi Blood Guards started to shout:

"Oh no—your boss is dead—no one cares about you anymore—what's the point of fighting?"

Seeing that the surrounding rebels were looking at him like a fool, Shan Ji cursed:

"They have a deputy general in charge! Hurry up and leave! Don't fight!"

The Blood Guards once again formed a tight protective circle, surrounding the two horses and continuing forward.

Shan Ji glanced at Huo Gannian who was running towards him, and using the force of stabbing a rebel to death, he jumped up, gave up his position on the horse's back, and jumped onto another horse - sitting behind Huo Luyu.

Huo Gannian quickly untied the hideous black "thing" on his back, tied it to the horse's butt, then jumped onto the horse's back and held Yun Chen's hand. He couldn't help but be distracted for a moment:

"Chen'er, I miss you so much!"

Yun Chen hugged him tightly:

"Me too!"

The Wuyi Blood Guards, who were standing guard on the side, couldn't help grinning when they heard this. They rubbed their goose bumps and looked at Shan Ji, who was staring at Huo Luyu on the other horse, and asked with their mouths:

"Master! This guy stole your woman! Do you want to kill him?"

Shan Ji didn't have time to deal with those blood guards and stared at Huo Luyu for a long time.

After such a hasty and chaotic first meeting, the two looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Huo Luyu simply handed the reins to Shan Ji, and then he lay down like a well-behaved kitten, in the standard posture of holding on to the horse's back to prevent falling off.

Shan Ji was inexplicably amused, and with a smile on his face, he pulled the reins hard and rushed forward with Huo Luyu.
