Stones were still falling from above, and the brothers of Liuying Village immediately shouted upwards, "Brothers up there, don't lose anything! We've won!"
Upon hearing their shout, Zhang Debiao and the others who were lying in ambush above immediately stopped throwing stones and emerged from the bushes: "Are all the Northern Barbarian Tartars dead?"
The brothers from the Eagle Stronghold below immediately replied, "They're all dead! They all fell off the cliff. Don't worry, those who fell have absolutely no chance of survival!"
The brothers from the other villages above breathed a sigh of relief and then asked with concern, "Are the brothers from Liuying Village all safe? Are there any casualties?"
The brothers from Liuying Village looked at each other and laughed, "We're all fine! None of us are injured!"
The prince's idea was good; he let them hide on the cliff face. The Sky Soldiers had no idea they were hiding on the cliff face, which was covered with rocks and arrows, and they had no interest in them.
So they were completely unharmed, and when they later climbed back up the mountain path from the cliff, the Sky Soldiers were even more shocked.
Just thinking about their expressions makes me laugh!
Hearing that no one was injured, the brothers above breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Lingchen was the first to crawl out of the bushes, shouting excitedly, "Brothers, we won! Our 40,000 Northern City troops wiped out their 100,000 Northern Rong troops in one fell swoop! We're amazing! We've done a great service!"
Mu Lingchen's shout caused the bandit army, who had been lying in ambush, to finally lose their nerve.
"Oh my god, I can finally talk! I was so nervous!"
"This is my first time fighting the Northern Rong!"
"Does this count as having been on the battlefield?"
"We've done a great service this time, so won't the prince abandon us now?"
"We wiped out 100,000 Northern Rong soldiers, does that mean we're a regular army?"
As they talked, everyone quickly became excited again.
"Great! I finally won!"
"We won, and without any casualties. The enemy was completely wiped out. We are really amazing!"
"If the prince knew, he would surely praise us!"
"By the way, now that we've won, shouldn't we send a signal to the Prince?"
Mu Lingchen finally remembered and immediately took out a signal flare and launched it into the sky.
Only if they win can Xuanyuan Zhan take the correct countermeasures.
After firing the signal flare, Mu Lingchen excitedly waved his hand and said, "Let's go back. The prince must have already driven back the Northern Rong. Let's go back and collect our reward."
"Let's go, let's go back!"
Both the bandit army on the cliff and the bandit army on the mountain path below were heading towards Beifeng City with great excitement.
At the foot of Beifeng City, Bai Ying was following Tuoba Xiong.
On the city tower, Xuan Yuanzhan stood in the main seat, staring intently at Tuoba Xiong.
Tuoba Xiong felt a surge of pride at the thought that their Tianqiong army would soon be able to circle around to the rear of Beifeng City.
This so-called Holy King, I'll see how he begs for mercy under my blade in a moment!
I heard that this Holy King holds a high position in Eastern Chu. It would be good if he captured him and used him to exchange for some benefits with Eastern Chu.
Just as Tuoba Xiong was imagining that nothing was wrong, he suddenly saw a signal flare in mid-air.
Those are their special signal flares for the sky, only used when there is danger. Look in that direction, that's the mountain!
It was sent by Jiao Xi!
Tuoba Xiong immediately glared fiercely at Bai Ying: "Damn it, you dare to play me for a fool!"
He must have set up some kind of ambush on that mountain path, which is why Jiao Xi and the others encountered danger.
Bai Ying stopped pretending at this point, mainly because he couldn't keep up the act any longer. Without saying a word, he raised his sword and slashed at Tuoba Xiong.
Tuoba Xiong was furious that Bai Ying dared to attack him in front of the Northern Rong army. He drew his sword and started fighting with Bai Ying, shouting, "Did you set up an ambush on the mountain path? Are you one of the Holy King's men?"
Bai Ying smiled wickedly: "It's alright to tell you now. Our Liuying Village was recruited by the Holy King a long time ago, and I am the Grand General of the Northern City Army of Dongchu!"
As Bai Ying spoke, he swung his sword again, the force of which nearly overwhelmed Tuoba Xiong.
While struggling against the white eagle, Tuoba Xiong was furious: "You just wait, I will wipe out your Liuying Village and exterminate every single one of you!"
Bai Ying was not afraid at all. Instead, he sneered, "It should be your Tianqiong that was wiped out. This time you sent 100,000 of Tianqiong's soldiers onto that mountain road. Do you think they will come back alive? You single-handedly ruined 100,000 of your Tianqiong's soldiers. Not only will you never have a chance to attack Beifeng City again, but I'm afraid even the strongest tribe in Beirong will have to step down!"
Tuoba Xiong was shocked. Just thinking that all the soldiers on the mountain road were his Tianqiong soldiers meant that if something happened to them, it would mean that all of his Tianqiong's military strength would be wiped out.
In the future, the strongest tribe in the Northern Rong will indeed have to step down and give way to the more capable ones. In fact, for a long time to come, the Heavenly Vault will not be ranked among the top tribes in the Northern Rong!
Tuoba Xiong became increasingly anxious. He wanted to kill Bai Ying, but he was no match for Bai Ying at all.
Only now did he realize how skilled Bai Ying was. He had already used all his strength, but he was still being beaten by Bai Ying. Tuoba Xiong roared in frustration, "Men, seize this scoundrel for me!"
Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Zhan roared, "Open the city gates and counterattack!"
As he spoke, Xuanyuan Zhan jumped off the city wall first and joined Bai Ying in fighting against Tuoba Xiong.
At Xuan Yuanzhan's command, the city gates, which had been held for nearly a month, were finally opened, and countless Zhenbei soldiers poured out to fight against the Beirong soldiers.
The sudden opening of the city gates by Beifeng was completely unexpected by the Beirong. This unexpected turn of events caught the Beirong off guard.
Every Northern Rong soldier was surrounded and attacked by the Zhenbei Army, so they couldn't possibly pay attention to Tuoba Xiong.
Xuanyuan Zhan didn't even have to exert any effort; he held Tuoba Xiong's neck with a single sword strike, then grabbed him and flew back to the city wall.
The white eagle followed and flew up.
On the city wall, Tuoba Xiong struggled and roared defiantly, "Xuanyuan Zhan, you've played dirty tricks on me! If it were a proper battle, you wouldn't stand a chance against the Northern Rong!"
"If they hadn't used such underhanded tactics, how could he have lost 100,000 Sky Warriors, and how could he have been captured by them now!"
Xuanyuan Zhan sneered disdainfully: "Playing dirty tricks? That's called strategy! Open your eyes and see that these people died because of your greed. Your Northern Rong will not be able to grow strong for at least a hundred years, and may even cease to exist completely!"
The Zhenbei Army had the upper hand, and Tuoba Xiong felt heartache and regret as he watched the Northern Rong soldiers being killed one by one.
He certainly didn’t regret invading Beifeng; he regretted trusting this White Eagle, which led to the loss of his 100,000 Sky Dome Army!
