Chapter 57: Two Armies Confronted
It seems like she is the stabilizing force, and with her around, I feel calm.
After marching for less than half an hour, we arrived at our destination, Tiger Leaping Gorge.
The geographical location here is very unique. The two mountain peaks are like two gates. Inside the gate is the Great Zhou, and outside the gate is Laos.
There is a canyon between the two peaks, with steep cliffs on both sides of the canyon.
Bai Li looked at the terrain as he walked. After crossing the mountain, he saw an open area where there were thousands of mounted soldiers.
The Laotian soldiers held a spear and a broadsword in one hand and a shield made of unknown material in the other.
Bai Li's eyes moved back and forth, comparing the equipment of the enemy and our soldiers.
The Laotian army is strong and powerful, with each man having his own horse. Soldiers wear leather armor, leather boots, and are protected by shields.
Our generals only had a few war horses, and our soldiers were dressed in thick linen and tattered cloth shoes, with many of their toes exposed.
With only spears and swords in hand, once faced, they can only fight with all their might, without any protection at all.
Poor, the Great Zhou is so poor!
Bai Li shook his head and sighed. No wonder the Great Zhou was bullied to this extent. Apart from self-defense, they did not dare to fight back.
While she was frowning and thinking, the two sides began to challenge each other.
"Hey, who are you from the Great Zhou? Tell me your name!"
"Barbarians, stop being so arrogant. Our country has established friendly relations with you. Today, you have disregarded diplomatic relations and led your troops to attack us. Our soldiers swear not to show mercy!"
"Haha! You don't even dare to tell me your name, let's see how you'll handle it!"
"you……"
Bai Li found it funny. Not only did he hit her, but he also yelled and cursed at her, a bit like a shrew scolding in the street.
Bai Li stretched his muscles and prepared to go on stage.
As the leader of the vanguard, she naturally took the lead.
While moving, he was mentally estimating his chances of winning against five thousand people alone.
In her previous life, with her incredibly powerful body, it would have taken her five thousand old antiques in a matter of minutes. However, this body couldn't handle it, and her physical strength wasn't even one tenth of what it was in her previous life...
"Vanguard, step out!"
Nangong Min suddenly shouted, bringing Bai Li back to reality.
"arrive!"
Bai Li came to Nangong Min and naturally saw Zhao Yuntian.
"Why are you here?"
Zhao Yuntian's face was full of sarcasm, "I came here to see you cry."
Bai Li rolled his eyes, took the reins handed to him by Nangong Min, and jumped onto the horse nimbly.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. You probably won't have the chance to see it in your lifetime."
He turned around and asked Nangong Min: "How do we fight? Do we kill them all or one at a time?"
Vanguard: Boss, you are exaggerating.
Zhao Yuntian: "You're really asking for your own death! The one who's here to challenge you is the Laotian supernatural god of war, Hao Ao, known as the ghost-fearing one. If he chops you into pieces, no one will be able to save you!"
"It's okay, he's just very strong, but his reaction is not fast."
Although Nangong Min was worried, the most important thing to avoid on the battlefield was low morale, so he could only comfort and give a few reminders.
"Thanks, watch me!"
The approaching men were almost at the front of the battle formation, and Bai Li squeezed his legs against the horse's belly to meet them.
"Ahhhhh!"
Hao Ao came up with a sledgehammer and saw that it was a little girl. His face changed drastically.
"Don't you have anyone left in the Great Zhou? You actually sent out a little girl!"
"A girl can also take your life!"
"What a brazen little girl! Don't beg for mercy later!"
The two exchanged a few words in the air, and Bai Li looked up. The other person was like an iron tower and had a face like an evil ghost.
Well, it’s nice to be a door god, the kind that serves as a contraceptive.
"Hao Ao, right? I'm Bai Li, make your move!"
What else is there to say? Just beat him!
As Bai Li finished the last word, he rode past him and his fist had already reached Hao Ao's face.
In the blink of an eye, Hao Ao felt the pink, tender and smooth little fist right in front of his eyes. He sneered, not trying to avoid it, but even deliberately went forward to meet it!
"Bang!"
Bai Li used 70% of his strength in this punch, and Hao Ao's nose suddenly collapsed, and blood gushed out from the dent!
"Ahhhh!! I'm going to kill you!"
Hao Ao's body was not like that of an ordinary person. He did not fall down after suffering such a heavy blow. Instead, his ferocity was aroused. He swung the sledgehammer with a whirring sound, and rode his horse to chase Bai Li who had successfully struck the target and turned away.
Bai Li ran a few steps and suddenly pulled the horse's head back. When he got closer, he jumped onto Hao Ao's horse, grabbed the sledgehammer with one hand, and raised his fist with the other to hit the enemy's head!
“Ahhhh!”
"Bang!"
Poor Hao Ao, he didn't even have a chance to fight back before he fell off his horse and died.
There was a moment of silence at the scene, followed by bursts of applause!
"Good!! Well done!!"
The Laotian side finally reacted, "Quick, save them!"
The Laotian side was in chaos and sent out five generals to entangle Bai Li, while the others dismounted and dragged Hao Ao away.
"General Hao, the vanguard, he's dead!"
"Even if you die, bring your body back, ah!!"
Bai Li took advantage of General Hao's distraction while he was talking and stabbed him with a knife, then kicked the body towards the person opposite.
As soon as someone died in Laos, they didn't care about etiquette and announced their names.
Surround Bai Li and beat him.
There was bloodthirst in Bai Li's eyes, and he was fighting with great enthusiasm.
Soon there were only three left out of the five.
It's all because riding a horse is inconvenient, otherwise she would have enjoyed it more.
At this time, another fast horse came from the Laotian position. Bai Li waved the big knife he had taken away and chopped three people like chopping melons. Without any pause, he rode his horse towards their position!
"Captain Bai, you can't!"
"Captain Bai is back!"
Seeing their captain charging into the enemy camp alone, the vanguard team was so anxious that they kept urging Nangong Min to give orders and let them rescue the captain.
Nangong Min came to his senses after someone shook his arm several times and gave orders hurriedly.
"The vanguard team will immediately catch up and rescue Captain Bai."
"Left wing troops, outflanking on the left, focusing on rescuing people."
"The right wing army feints and attacks to provide cover!"
As military orders were issued one after another, the soldiers of the Great Zhou rushed towards the enemy with shouts, fearless and powerful like a rainbow.
At this time, Bai Li had already rushed into the enemy camp and killed a large number of them.
One body after another fell off the horse. The war horses, without their masters, screamed and ran wildly, bumping into and trampling many Laotian soldiers. For a time, countless Laotian soldiers were killed or wounded.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou arrived and the two sides engaged in a melee on the battlefield.
Originally, Laotian soldiers were tall and strong, and their war horses were powerful, which gave them an advantage.
However, Bai Li's indiscriminate hacking and killing disrupted their strategy, and they were in a panic and retreated step by step.
When Nangong Min saw clearly what Bai Li had done, his eyelids twitched.
There was no figure on the horse's back. It turned out that she had gotten off the horse and was swinging a machete to chop the horse's legs!
Everyone knows that when two armies face off, the riders on horseback have the advantage.
Who could have imagined that this woman would actually give up her advantage and crawl under the horse's belly to use a dirty trick!
The Laotian soldiers reacted and surrounded her, but no matter how many people came, it was useless. The people inside were thrown out like balls, one wave after another.
Every now and then, a few crazy horses would run out, biting anyone they saw, trampling anyone they saw, and kicking any horse they saw. Their large number of people actually became a disadvantage!
