"Sound the battle horn, everyone accelerate forward."
"Let Xiang Yu and his men come out of the ruined city to support us."
Jiang Tian took the lead and rushed off into the distance.
At that moment, a long, drawn-out bugle call sounded behind Jiang Tian.
The horn sounded tremendously, soaring straight into the sky.
Luo Xiaohu personally took charge of the "Jiang" family's banner.
At that moment, the garrison of Flying Tiger City saw Jiang Tian's troops rushing past from a distance.
They quickly reported to Xiang Yu.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yu immediately ordered 500 cavalrymen to charge out of Feihu City and head straight for Jiangtian.
"Keep the horn blowing and keep going until you reach the Khitan cavalry."
"promise……"
Ling Yunzhi ordered the horns to be sounded continuously in order to attract the attention of the Khitan cavalry.
If the killings and arson were indeed committed by Khitan cavalry, then these people must have fled from the direction of the Great Wall.
They were very familiar with the sound of Jiang Tian's bugle.
As expected.
The beacon-fire army was slowly approaching Princess Xue'er's carriage.
At this moment, Feng Huo Lian Cheng had a wicked smile on his face: "I didn't expect that I, Feng Huo Lian Cheng, would be so lucky. I've only been driving for less than a day and I've already encountered such a luxurious convoy."
It's clear that the people riding in this luxurious convoy must be prominent figures from the Great Xia Dynasty.
"General, we're sure to make a fortune this time," the men around Feng Huo Lian Cheng quickly flattered.
"We've seized this caravan and are heading south to seize the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"Their soldiers are so poor in combat that they are no match for our iron cavalry."
"Faced with our charge, they could only flee in terror, hahaha..."
The Khitan cavalrymen grinned wickedly.
And at this very moment.
Lei Zhen was covered in wounds, and his armor and robes were soaked in blood.
This guy is holding a gun in one hand and a sword in the other.
Lei Zhen trembled all over.
His soldiers were either killed or deserted.
Princess Xue'er drew back the curtains: "General, are we doomed in this battle?"
Lei Zhen nodded.
The sound of girls crying came from the carriage.
Princess Xue'er slowly lowered the curtains; at this moment, the little girl's face was deathly pale.
"Sisters, we are doomed today."
"I, the princess, have known all of you sisters for a long time, and we must not fall into the hands of the Khitan traitors."
Although these girls came from the palace, they had also heard that the cavalry of more than a dozen countries on the northern grasslands were all extremely ferocious.
If they fall into their hands, they will suffer a fate worse than death.
Rather than doing that, it would be better to commit suicide, which would at least preserve one's chastity.
Princess Xue'er picked up a pair of scissors and held them to that snow-white neck.
The palace maids inside the carriage shook their heads when they saw this.
"Your Highness, please don't take your own life. As the saying goes, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death."
"Your Highness, please allow us to protect you and help you break out of here."
Princess Xue'er shook her head: "These Khitan cavalrymen are all ruthless killers."
We women, who are powerless even to kill a chicken, are no match for them.
"Sisters, I also came from a palace maid background. Thank you for your companionship along the way." Just as Princess Xue'er was about to stab her neck with the scissors, a palace maid next to her quickly snatched them away.
"Your Highness, please do not take your own life."
However, the palace maid had no other recourse but to cry.
The Khitan cavalry had already surrounded them.
The screams outside gradually subsided; the wounded cavalry and infantry had been wiped out by the Khitan cavalry.
Feng Huo Liancheng, riding a tall warhorse, looked at Lei Zhen, who was covered in blood: "You scoundrel, get out of the way! Who's in the carriage?"
Lei Zhen's vision was blood red; his physical strength was severely depleted.
"Commander Lei Zhen of the Imperial Guards swears to protect Her Highness the Princess with his life."
Feng Huo Lian Cheng burst into laughter: "A wild dog dares to stand in front of the wolf king. In my opinion, you're not even as good as a wild dog."
Feng Huo Lian Cheng slowly drew his curved sword from his waist: "No one else should make a move. This guy is a commander of the Imperial Guard, so I'm going to teach him a lesson."
"Is there a princess in this carriage? That's interesting."
Today, brothers, let's all enjoy ourselves in front of the Imperial Guard and the Commander-in-Chief.
Upon hearing this, the Khitan cavalrymen quickly whistled, followed by bursts of wild laughter.
The princess and the palace maids on the carriage were on tenterhooks.
Lei Zhen wiped the blood off his hands. Without turning around, he softly said to the carriage, "Your Highness, I am incompetent and unable to protect you."
Princess Xue'er said with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, General Lei. We sisters have all agreed that we will never fall into the hands of these Khitan traitors."
The palace maids and Princess Xue'er on the carriage each had a pair of scissors in their hands at this moment.
Just as they were about to use the scissors to commit suicide, a series of loud horn calls came from afar.
The city under the beacon fire was basking in its glory when he heard the bugle call and was terrified.
"General, it's Jiang Tian! Jiang Tian's troops have arrived."
"General, let's retreat quickly."
“Jiang Tian’s men are all killing gods; we are no match for them at all.”
The bugle call grew louder and louder, signifying that Jiang Tian and his men were getting closer and closer.
Amidst the flames of war and extreme anger, he cried out, "You bastard, consider yourself lucky! I'm not happy about this!"
Feng Huoliancheng turned its horse around and galloped away into the distance.
His men followed closely behind.
Lei Zhen finally relaxed.
"Your Highness, the Khitan cavalry have retreated." Lei Zhen had barely finished speaking when, with a whoosh, an arrow shot over.
Exhausted, Lei Zhen was unable to dodge.
Immediately afterwards, a soft "thud" was heard as metal pierced flesh.
The arrow struck Lei Zhen squarely in the throat.
At the wound, Lei Zhen's pent-up blood gushed out like a fountain.
That despicable and shameless fellow, Feng Huo Lian Cheng, even shot an arrow before leaving.
Lei Zhen's body swayed precariously.
Even so, he still managed to steady himself with the spear in his hand.
Lei Zhen remained standing.
As Jiang Tian's cavalry charged closer, he finally saw a dozen or so luxurious carriages in the distance.
There were more than 100 carriages surrounding the luxurious carriage, but most of them had been burned to the ground.
Corpses were everywhere on the ground.
Meanwhile, Feng Huo Lian Cheng led his men southward at breakneck speed.
"Don't let those beasts go," it was obvious without even thinking that the corpses on the ground must have been killed by the Khitan cavalry.
"Let Xiang Yu lead men to hunt down the Khitan cavalry, and don't let a single one escape."
We must eliminate them completely, at all costs.
"promise……"
Jiang Tian spurred his horse and galloped straight toward the dozens of luxurious carriages.
