Chapter 3308 Bloody Battle
"emperor!"
Watching the flashes of red light in the thick dark clouds overhead, and the muffled thunder that sounded like the roars of tigers and dragons in the distance, Nan Yan was so surprised that she could hardly contain herself. She grabbed the reins tightly with both hands to control the warhorse under her, which was startled by the thunder and kept shaking its head, snorting, and pacing unsteadily. She said to Zhu Feng with great joy, "It's going to rain, it's going to rain!"
Zhu Feng's expression was relatively calm.
He looked up at the sky above his head, which was gradually filled with thunder and lightning. For some reason, his expression seemed a little heavy under the reflection of the lightning.
After a long while, he finally said, "Uncle, it's done!"
Nan Yan hadn't come back to her senses yet, and she just said happily, "Yes! It's done!"
Hearing her words, Zhu Feng's expression grew even more serious. He shifted his gaze from the flashes of lightning in the thick clouds above his head to the battlefield not far ahead, where the fighting was still going on. He said, "But we're not done here yet."
When Nan Yan heard his words, her heart skipped a beat.
yes.
There are lightning and thunder at this time, and I believe it will rain soon.
Although the army on Arslan's side had shown signs of defeat, it had not been completely defeated by them. At this rate, they would have to fight for at least a while longer.
However, Zhu Feng's plan was to flood Baihu City.
If the army had not been defeated by them and had not returned to Baihu City, the backflow of water from the boundary river would have only flooded an empty city. All their previous preparations, including the bloody battle tonight, would have been in vain!
Thinking of this, Nan Yan also became anxious: "What should I do then?"
Zhu Feng didn't say anything, but just looked forward with a heavy gaze. Obviously, the people on the battlefield were also shocked by the sudden lightning and thunder. After all, this is the arid and desolate northwest, and it rarely rains in a normal year, let alone tonight. It looks like a heavy rain that is rarely seen in a century. Even some soldiers who were fighting hard stopped fighting and looked up at the sky.
Although Zhu Feng was praying for the arrival of rain, most of the soldiers were completely unaware of this.
They had been guarding the northwest for so long, and they only knew that it was rare to see a drop of rain here all year round. At this time, there were sudden lightning and thunder, and everyone felt a little uneasy, thinking that it was an ominous sign from heaven.
Shouldn't they have fought this battle?
Just when everyone was feeling a little depressed and even distracted, suddenly, a roar came from the front.
Before anyone could react, they felt a dark shadow suddenly rushing towards them. It was General Bayin of the Neng State. This man was originally tall and was charging through the army like an invincible chariot. At this moment, he took advantage of the fact that everyone was distracted by the lightning and thunder above their heads, and suddenly rushed into the battle formation, sweeping across with the long sword in his hand with a fierce sound.
Suddenly, there were screams.
He had amazing arm strength, and this sweep knocked down several soldiers, killing or injuring anyone who was touched by him. The people around him were so scared that they dared not step forward. The soldiers from the Neng State behind him took the opportunity to rush forward and forced the Yan State soldiers back.
They seemed to have gained the upper hand again.
Chen Zixiao and Fang Buyuan, who were standing by, saw the situation here. They looked at each other, Chen Zixiao nodded, and immediately rushed forward on his horse. With a loud roar, he stabbed Bayin with the long spear in his hand.
Bayin was also startled and quickly dodged to the side. The long spear lifted the armor on his shoulder and almost pierced his shoulder.
Bayin was furious, and he turned his hand to hold the long knife and chopped it hard at the spear.
There was a sound of "clang". Although the long spear was made of fine steel and could not be cut by a blow, it began to shake. Chen Zixiao's palm was cracked and the long spear flew out of his hand, turned several times in the air, and suddenly stuck into the ground.
His face changed drastically. Without his weapon, he naturally didn't dare to fight any longer. He quickly turned around and rode his horse back.
When Bayin saw that he had run away, he refused to let him go and immediately rode his horse to follow him.
On the other side, Wulihan fought hard to repel the attack of another group of people. Seeing this, he suddenly shouted: "General Bayin, don't--"
But before he could finish his words, Bayin had already rushed forward and directly broke into the battle formation of the Yan army.
He raised the long sword in his hand high, and it reflected a blood-red light under the reflection of the lightning that suddenly flashed above his head. He aimed at the back of Chen Zixiao in front of him and was about to swing it.
At this moment, suddenly, two groups of people rushed out from both sides.
Bayin was anxious and subconsciously grabbed the reins to rein in his horse, ready to fight. However, the soldiers on both sides did not immediately charge at him, but instead moved behind him. Bayin hurriedly looked back and saw that the soldiers had already closed in behind him.
At this moment, Chen Zixiao in front suddenly turned his horse around and came up with another group of people.
It was Fang Buyuan who had just pulled the lance out of the ground and handed it back to him.
This time, Bayin was alone and surrounded.
He immediately realized that he had been deceived by their feigned retreat in order to surround him.
Bayin was also a little panicked, but after all, he was the warrior of the Neng Kingdom second only to Temur, so he was not willing to surrender. He waved the long sword in his hand vigorously, like a shield, making people afraid to approach.
The soldiers around were not prepared to get close.
They just kept circling around him on horseback. Bayin had no way of keeping up with so many people moving so quickly around him. Just when he saw someone in front of him about to attack, he waved his sword to resist, but a soldier behind him suddenly swung his sword at the horse he was riding.
Suddenly, a long, shrill hiss was heard.
The warhorse was stabbed in the buttocks and stood up in pain, raising its front hooves and neighing.
The scream also alarmed the surrounding soldiers of the Neng State. Seeing Bayin trapped in the enemy camp, Ulihan immediately led his troops to rush forward to rescue him. Although he and Bayin did not get along, it was a very ominous sign to kill a general on the battlefield, and it would also affect the morale of the army. For the sake of the overall situation, he could not ignore it.
However, the soldiers of Yan State had obviously received instructions and immediately blocked the battle formation. Wulihan charged several times but failed to get in.
As for Bayin, his warhorse had been hit several times.
Finally, the sturdy warhorse could no longer hold on and fell down. Bayin stumbled and rolled off the horse's back. He hurriedly swung his sword to block, but the two soldiers in front of him had just been knocked down by his sword. Before he could return to defend, he heard a roar behind him.
Bayin turned back hurriedly.
A silver light flashed before his eyes, and Chen Zixiao's long spear suddenly pierced into his shoulder, exactly where the armor had just been lifted.
"ah--!"
