Chapter 57 I Will Come to Your Side



Meng Xian didn't know how to describe this sword strike.

The Luofeng Slope, which stretched for dozens of miles, has been eroded into Luofeng Gully.

Some of the Liao soldiers on both sides of the ditch were terrified, while others were attacking Li Chang'an frantically.

With Tolui dead, these people can no longer return to the Liao Kingdom.

If I die in battle, my family back home will be safe and sound.

I am still a hero.

If we surrender, I'm afraid our families will be implicated.

So they had no choice but to grit their teeth and charge towards Li Chang'an.

Seeing that Meng Xian and the others still didn't react, Wang Zhongxian stomped his feet in anger.

Brother Li is surrounded, though he doesn't seem to be in any danger.

But I have to do a good job of what Brother Li asked me to do.

Otherwise, I would be in danger.

He didn't think he could withstand that earth-shattering sword strike.

His eyes fell on a bronze gong, and he quickly picked it up, placed it next to Meng Xian's ear, and struck it with all his might.

"Bang!"

Meng Xian shuddered, goosebumps rising from her head to her toes.

Only then did he realize that this was a war.

When Wang Zhongxian saw that she had woken up, he quickly grabbed a gong and started banging it loudly while shouting.

"The Great Ming Immortal has ordered that you follow him into battle to kill the enemy. For every Liao soldier you kill, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver and ten dan of grain."

He turned around and saw Meng Xian and the others standing there dumbfounded, and scolded, "What are you standing there for? Shout along!"

Upon hearing Eunuch Wang's words, Cheng Hu hurriedly roared back, "The Great Ming Immortal has ordered that we follow him into battle to kill the enemy. For every Liao soldier killed, we will be rewarded with ten taels of silver and ten dan of grain."

As more and more people regained consciousness, the shouts grew louder and louder.

The auxiliary soldiers also roared in anger.

They watched as Li Chang'an single-handedly routed the Liao soldiers.

Only a few hundred Liao soldiers remained, yet they were still able to stand up and besiege the immortal.

Looking at our side, our 15,000 men are completely unharmed.

Fifteen thousand men against a few hundred Liao soldiers who were still capable of fighting.

Moreover, we also have a deity on our side.

Even a dog could win a battle like this.

Each soldier gained confidence in the upcoming battle.

Besides, everyone else is shouting, "Which immortal has given the order?"

For killing a Liao soldier, the reward is ten taels of silver and ten dan of grain.

My goodness!

That's too much.

No one was worried that this statement was a lie, nor was anyone worried that Li Chang'an would renege on his debt.

Everyone knows which immortal, with a single gesture, can provide a mountain of grain.

Even if the immortals don't have that much silver, they could at least give us some more food.

The auxiliary soldiers, their eyes red, looked at the panicked Liao soldiers all around, their killing intent palpable.

In their eyes, this guy is not even human.

This is grain, this is pure silver.

One head costs ten taels of silver, and two heads can buy a cow and a few bolts of cloth.

The grain can last for several years.

If you don't do this, you're out of your mind.

The auxiliary soldiers, those with knives, took them; those without knives, carried stones or sticks.

They looked ready to fight to the death, which frightened the commander so much that his legs trembled.

When did these soldiers become so fierce?

Shouldn't they normally run backwards and get their heads chopped off by the military commander?

He turned to look at the registrar, wanting to say something to him.

As a result, they saw the usually mild-mannered and timid clerk holding a horizontal sword, staring at the Liao soldiers with bloodshot eyes.

They looked menacing, just waiting for their commander's order to charge out and steal kills.

Meng Xian did not disappoint them, and waved her hand.

"All troops, launch an attack."

Rumble!

A series of hoofbeats rang out as Cheng Hu led the Xuanwu cavalry into the Liao army's formation.

"Kill them, you damn Liao soldiers, charge!"

"Brothers, hurry up and charge! If we're too slow, those Liaoning dogs will get away."

"Ten taels of silver as a reward, all of you, get on board!"

Cheng Hu heard shouts of killing behind him and turned around.

The auxiliary soldiers and laborers ran faster than horses.

A military doctor in his sixties, carrying a broadsword, charged to the front.

And what about those clerks who are physically weak and get tired after walking just a few steps?

Now they're howling like ghosts and wolves, ready to fight the Liao people to the death.

Sima, standing behind the main army, stared in disbelief at the auxiliary soldiers who were running faster than horses.

No, you guys don't run this fast when you're trying to escape.

The leader of the Sima clan snapped out of his surprise and shouted.

"Brothers, hurry up and charge! If we're too late, we won't get any kills."

The youngest Sima spoke up, asking, "Aren't we supposed to be in the rear, monitoring for desertions?"

A group of Sima looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"Are you crazy? There are no deserters here, they've all rushed to the front. If we're any later, we'll be the deserters."

He then realized, "Oh right, there are no deserters here."

By the time the group of Sima rushed forward, the battle was already over.

The dark clouds in the sky dissipated, revealing the setting sun.

Li Chang'an sat on the highest rock, clad in golden armor, with the setting sun behind him.

Like a god.

No one dared to go and disturb them, including Meng Xian, who looked at Li Chang'an with fear.

The Liao soldiers either fled or, if they couldn't escape, were either killed or dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.

Su Xiao saw the scene of blood flowing like a river, but didn't take it to heart.

She felt as if she had seen this scene countless times in her dreams.

Su Xiao walked to her master's side and carefully squatted down at his feet.
