Hua Yisun took the heavy axe handed to him by his men and chopped at the wire mesh in front of him. The circular wire was deformed by the axe blade but did not break. Instead, he felt a sense of loss of strength as if he had hit nothing, which made him feel so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood.
The barbed wire was covered with tiny iron spikes, making it impossible to grab hold of it.
Hua Yisun gritted his teeth, jumped off his horse, and chopped the wire stuck to the ground with another heavy blow.
The middle of Sichuan was all loess accumulated over many years. The iron wire sank into the soil as the axe blade did not break, but stood more firmly on the ground, which made Hua Yisun furious.
The entire wire mesh is soft yet hard. It is soft and does not bear the force when hit by a heavy axe, but if a person bumps into it, the thorns on it will inevitably tear off some pieces of flesh.
Two rebels used their long swords to try to push the spiral iron ring away, allowing the soldiers behind to rush through.
But the enemy on the opposite side swung his spear, and the ash rod passed through the net ring like a silver snake, piercing the arm of a rebel holding a knife.
Amidst the splattering of blood, the barbed wire that had just been pushed open shook and closed again.
The rebel paid the price of an arm, but the barbed wire remained unchanged, as if mocking the rebel's bravery and foolishness.
Li Yaoshi sat on the ridge, and pointed the big banner behind him to the left. The soldiers of the Shen Ce Army guarding the river gathered over and repelled the rebels who were trying to break out.
Sang Yi's right arm was scratched by the wing hook. He switched the sword to his left hand and fought hard with Chen Wujiu without giving in.
There was also a tear in Chen Wujiu's military uniform, and the blood that flowed out made Sang Yi feel a little relieved.
Your opponent is a living person, not a formless ghost.
Chen Wujiu's double swords were like a net of light, spinning rapidly around Sang Yi. Drops of blood splattered from the net of light, but Sang Yi still fought to the death, defending the land a few inches under his feet.
Suddenly, there was a sound of hooves, and the barbed wire fence on the right side of the valley parted a line, and a red-maned horse appeared in sight.
The rider on the horse displayed extraordinary riding skills, maneuvering his mount through the narrow gap without being touched by any sharp thorns.
The female rider's long hair tied behind her head was flying, her fair cheeks were slightly flushed with excitement because of the bloody battle in the river, and her eyes showed a charming brilliance.
Immediately afterwards, more than ten enemy cavalrymen came riding together. The barbed wire that had brought countless rebels to their doom was like nothing in front of them.
The riders rode two in a row and gently pushed the iron rings covered with spikes with their spears, and the riders had passed the obstacle the moment the barbed wire bounced back.
Sang Yi thought he had their eyesight and precision, but without long-term contact with the elasticity of barbed wire, he could never be as skilled as they were.
The retreat route was blocked and the front army was surrounded, but none of these affected Sang Yi's moves.
But when he saw the enemy cavalry, Sang Yi couldn't help but feel a bitter taste in his mouth.
Are we really going to lose?
Faced with the enemy's ambush, he could only rely on his own strength to break through the formation and fight to the death to buy time for his commander.
But even though he was well prepared, the enemy's strength was far beyond his imagination.
Sang Yi realized that his ambitious first battle would probably be his last battle.
Hua Yisun had given up the futile attack on the barbed wire. Seeing the female rider rushing towards him, he spat fiercely, thinking it was shameful to fight with a woman, but he had no choice but to fight. He could only mount his horse and face the enemy while cursing.
Li Yinhuan drew the sword from his waist and chopped at the heavy axe of the young man opposite him.
Hua Yisun was extremely surprised. The sword was light but the axe was heavy. This girl actually dared to fight him head-on. Was she crazy?
When the sword and axe collided, Hua Yisun's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
The long sword slashed at the axe, and the accumulated true energy was like the Yangtze River, cutting through his strength in one fell swoop.
Hua Yisun's jaws trembled violently, and the heavy axe flew out of his hand.
Two bodyguards surrounded them, one stabbed the female rider on horseback, and the other stabbed her mount.
Hua Yisun was caught off guard and suffered a great loss. He drew his sword with his bleeding hand, and with a roar, he chopped at Li Yinhuan's head.
Li Yinhuan turned her wrist and lifted Hua Yisun's sword with miraculous skill.
Then he swept his sword across his neck, cut off his head, and tied it to the side of the saddle.
Hua Yisun's body shook on the horse and fell to the ground.
He moved his lips, but what he wanted to say was: Daddy, I was defeated by a woman, how shameful...
Li Shibin did not know that his friend's son had died in battle. He led the remaining troops to break out three times, but was repelled by the enemy every time.
The cliff was stained red with the blood of the rebels, but no soldier was able to climb up the ridge alive.
He had already seen that the enemy numbered only about 6,000 people, which was equal to his own, but they occupied the terrain and had a large banner for command. Every time he organized a counterattack, he was defeated by the enemy's concentrated superior forces in a local area.
Li Shibin was very clear about the enemy's purpose - to use barbed wire to separate his nearly 10,000 troops and then eat them up piece by piece.
But he had no other choice but to fight to the death.
Suddenly, a battle flag was raised high. It was the flag of the Shen Ce Army. Hanging on the flagpole was a head. It was his deputy general Sang Yi.
Li Shibin knew that the divided Sang Yi's troops were finished. Sang Yi fought desperately to buy time for himself, but was completely crushed by several barbed wire fences.
Chen Wujiu knew that time was running out and he had no time to deal with Sang Yi, so he became ruthless and exchanged injuries for Sang Yi, and only then did he quickly kill Sang Yi.
As Li Yaoshi's personal guards and his reserve troops entered the battlefield, in less than a quarter of an hour, more than a thousand Ming soldiers from Sang Yi's army who had been separated were defeated by the elite attack of the Shen Ce Army.
Many rebel soldiers tried to rush through the barbed wire, but they paid the price of countless blood and flesh when they forcibly crushed the first barbed wire.
