Chapter 121: Saving Others
The intelligence soldier quickly dismounted and ran towards the barracks.
"Report——"
"The army led by your majesty has arrived!"
The originally depressing atmosphere in the barracks suddenly relaxed.
A frowning general then smiled: "It has been three days since Your Majesty sent out the troops, and now they have finally arrived."
"Who would have thought that Yue would choose this place to attack? It's far away and deserted, and we have few troops stationed here. If we don't have support, we won't be able to hold out for more than a few days."
The general and his deputy were sitting around a long wooden table in the barracks, looking at a sand table map on it. Now, Song Ri finally felt relieved and walked out of the barracks quickly to greet them.
The two of them stared at something not far away, and the sky seemed to be dyed a small piece of black.
A hundred thousand heavily armored cavalrymen, both men and horses, were wearing exquisite black armor. The ground was rumbling with the sound of their footsteps, and every sound struck people's hearts with excitement.
The bright red word "Jing" was swaying on the military flag. The leader had a cold expression and a murderous aura around him, which made his charming face look sinister.
It was the Dajingtieqi that Emperor Jing and she were proud of.
She straightened her back, rolled over, and with a pleasant sound of armor rubbing against each other, she dismounted swiftly.
The two generals who accompanied her dismounted and followed her.
The general and the deputy general were excited: "Your Majesty!"
This was the first expedition after Emperor Jing ascended the throne. When the local soldiers guarding the place saw their king coming, they became very excited, their faces turned red, and even their breathing became harder.
The King is with them, so they can be invincible.
Jun Lin raised his hand to signal Da Jing's cavalry to rest and wait for orders. He then quickly walked into the barracks and came to the main sand table. He went straight to the topic: "How is the battle going?"
The narrow phoenix eyes stared at the sand table, and his mind quickly analyzed how to take advantage of the terrain here.
"The enemy's offensive has not been fierce in the past few days. It seems to be testing our strength intermittently."
"That minister has never shown his face, but he sends troops to attack us every day, but he withdraws them soon after. I can't figure out his intentions."
Listening to their reports, Jun Lin frowned slightly.
I don't know what the King of Yue is going to do.
She said calmly: "No matter what their intentions are, the sooner we can defeat them and make them retreat, the better it will be for us."
The slender fingertip pointed at a low place on the sand table where it was easy to hide, and asked, "Are there people lying in wait for us here?"
The general was surprised, as if he had not expected that she would see through his plan. "Yes, I want to surprise the Yue soldiers."
"Withdraw."
The unquestionable voice made him dazed for a moment.
"What?"
Jun Lin's eyes were heavy, and he spoke sternly, "It is better to pretend to be ignorant and do nothing than to pretend to know and act recklessly. How could he fail to think of the terrain that can be seen through at a glance? Withdraw quickly, otherwise this force will be gone."
She squinted at the two of them and said, "It's been so long since we've fought a war, have you all pretended to be smart and acted rashly? The opponents are powerful officials, so you all need to be alert and tense."
The two grown men shuddered and said something to wake the dreamer: "I will send someone to call them back..."
"Report——"
The soldiers rushed into the barracks and knelt down to report: "We have fallen into a trap! The Vietnamese soldiers already knew about our ambush and are now standing on top and shooting arrows into the camp. Our soldiers in the low-lying areas have suffered heavy casualties..."
The atmosphere was terribly depressing, like a balloon that would explode if squeezed.
Jun Lin glared at the two of them fiercely with a useless look.
The general and his deputy immediately broke out in cold sweats.
Senior brother is saying hello to her.
How could the enemy spies not know about such a large-scale march by the Dajing Iron Cavalry? Now that he knew she was coming, he was timing his visit to give her a gift.
Jun Lin frowned and walked out of the tent and mounted his horse: "Follow me to save people!"
Emperor Jing came here in a hurry and had no time to have a cup of hot tea before he had to go to the battlefield.
In addition to the 100,000 iron cavalry, there are also 50,000 light infantry coming to support. Now some of them are equipped with bows and spears and quickly form a team to follow the king.
Jun Lin was carrying a heavy black iron sword on his back, with murderous intent in his eyes. The sound of horses' hooves was urgent, and the army passed by, raising a cloud of dust.
…
Arrows rained down, and the Jing soldiers in the depression were almost in despair.
Because of the terrain, they were like being trapped in a pit, too narrow to hide or climb out, leaving them vulnerable to enemy arrows piercing their chests.
The screams of death shook the sky. They were putting up a desperate resistance. The warm blood filled the ground. The local soldiers of the State of Yue looked down from above and shot arrow after arrow with cold eyes.
The leading general of Yue State sat high on his horse and tightened the reins. His ears twitched and he suddenly turned his horse's head and squinted his eyes to look at the approaching army.
Pitch black is the symbol of Jing State.
It was not until he saw the person riding the horse in front of him that he was startled. Could it be Emperor Jing himself?
“Respond to the enemy!!!”
The man drew his sword and shouted, and the neatly-organized army turned around with murderous intent and shot arrows at the attackers.
They saw that person stepping one foot on the horse's back, using the force to leap high up, holding a terrifying red heavy iron sword in one hand. The air seemed to be torn apart by her, and the high-speed swirling air flow whirred as she swung the sword.
Several arrows were blocked by the sword one by one. She performed Qinggong and the strands of hair on her forehead were blown up by the strong wind. The ends of her eyes were slightly red, and her clear eyes were filled with a bone-chilling murderous intent.
“Puff——”
The sword fell on them, and their bones seemed to be smashed. Jun Lin kicked the corpse away and pointed the sword directly at the Yue general.
The man was stunned, as if he was frightened by the absolute crushing force, but he quickly reacted and spat at the sun fiercely.
The reinforcements arrived quite quickly.
He rode his horse with a sword in hand, fearlessly facing the heavy sword of Emperor Jing.
“Zheng——”
The two swords collided violently. The man gritted his teeth in resistance. Veins bulged on the back of his hands and he felt numb from the force. At that moment, the horse could not bear the gravity and knelt on its front hooves, looking up and neighing in pain.
The general was caught off his horse unexpectedly, and rolled quickly on the ground with bloodshot eyes.
He looked at the other person's young face, the cheeks as white as jade, and the lips as red as if they were covered with a layer of rouge. His attack was obviously so violent and fierce, but there was a calmness in his eyes.
The man took a deep breath and was afraid that he would be in trouble today.
The leaders started fighting, and the soldiers of Jingyue also drew their swords against each other.
The sound of weapons clashing, the sound of flesh tearing, screams of pain, and determined shouts, countless sounds mixed together, boiling and annihilating in the carnage.
The soldiers of the Jing Kingdom in the pit looked up in a daze, looking at Emperor Jing who had fought his way out for them. Their despair of giving up resistance suddenly came to life, and their eyes were filled with hot tears.
"Your Majesty... It's Your Majesty who has come to save us..."
"Kill——break out!!!"
"Follow His Majesty and kill him!!!"
Jun Lin smashed the man's ribs with one sword. He fell heavily and rolled several times, spitting out blood.
She approached step by step with an expressionless face, dragging the heavy sword across the ground, leaving traces mixed with blood that were both terrifying and eerie.
She is very protective of her own shortcomings.
If someone hurts her, she has to get it back for them.
The man endured the severe pain and shouted: "Pull——"
Two soldiers held the two ends of the rope, and the rest was buried in the soil. They pulled the rope hard and it broke through the soil and rubbed Jun Lin's ankle. The huge pulling force made the rope straighten, and her body lost balance and suddenly leaned forward.
The man was delighted, and the surrounding soldiers rushed over to attack him.
“Chi——”
The heavy sword suddenly thrust into the ground. She held the hilt of the sword for support with one hand, spun her body, and her shattered hair rose up. Her cold eyes were sinister. She quickly pulled out the heavy sword, swung it vigorously and hit the enemy's waist and abdomen. The besiegers wailed and fell to the ground.
She stood up straight, lowered her eyes and said sarcastically, "Why do you think I have the confidence to lead the charge?"
The man's voice was hoarse with pain: "A proud soldier will be defeated. You don't have to be so arrogant..."
He didn't finish his words because he had already been pierced through the body by Emperor Jing's sword.
…
ps: The estimate failed, and I can only spend time with my senior brother tomorrow. Hey, my senior brother always wears a string of red jade Buddhist beads on his wrist. Sooner or later, these Buddhist beads will be entangled with the black iron heavy sword.
