Volume 1 Chapter 169 Capturing Ziyi
After discovering this feature, Zhu Qiyu was extremely excited!
As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. If he could kill the commander-in-chief of the Black Witch Kingdom with a single arrow, this military achievement alone would be enough to rank him as a fourth-rank general!
Although he once served as prime minister, his current identity is just an ordinary soldier without official rank, and he still needs military merit.
The arrow failed to hit the target, but it did not prevent him from making a contribution. Although he did not dare to rush into the army alone like Jiang Yue, Jiang Fei dared!
Zhu Qiyu immediately pointed at Guo Ziyi in the distance and said, "Marshal Jiang, that man is the commander-in-chief of the Black Witch Nation. If we can capture him or cut off his head in this battle, the Black Witch Nation's million-strong army will be broken into pieces and completely defeated!"
Jiang Fei had been itching to have a good fight. Looking in the direction Zhu Qiyu pointed, he saw that the man's clothes were indeed extraordinary.
Jiang Fei's eyes couldn't help but flash with coldness, filled with excitement.
At this moment, Guo Ziyi felt like he was being stared at by a hungry wolf. He felt cold all over and did not feel comfortable at all.
He looked at Jiang Fei with lingering fear, then turned and walked away, making the speed of the warhorse under his crotch extremely fast, as if he wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible, and even get out of Jiang Fei's sight.
"Where are you going!" Jiang Fei in the distance grinned and laughed wildly, then rode out quickly, waving a spear and killing Guo Ziyi.
At this time, the 300,000-strong army of the Great Sun Dynasty was completely engaged in a battle with the million-strong army of the Black Wu Kingdom. The scene was in chaos, with people dying at every moment. The entire battlefield had turned into a purgatory on earth, with screams and sounds of fighting continuing, and soon the blood of the dead had turned into a small river.
The land on the battlefield also began to become wet and turned into a bloody mud.
Zhu Qiyu was also aroused by this scene. Holding a long sword, he fought along with the soldiers of the Great Sun Dynasty, facing the soldiers of the Black Witch Kingdom with swords and attacking left and right. Soon, his armor and wheat-colored face were all stained with blood.
Guo Ziyi wanted to run, but Jiang Fei was staring at him, so there was no way he could escape.
Jiang Fei's warhorse ran much faster than Guo Ziyi's, and it was not known whether it was because of the breed of the warhorse or the person who rode it.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Fei was only fifty meters away from Guo Ziyi. Guo Ziyi had already run back to the central army position, but no one could stop Jiang Fei along the way.
Guo Ziyi quickly ordered his men to shoot arrows at Jiang Fei, but unfortunately all the dense arrows fell on Jiang Fei's spear. Jiang Fei did not slow down, but instead became even faster.
Guo Ziyi's face turned pale after seeing this scene. He did not dare to stay in the center of the army any longer. He quickly spurred his horse and ran towards the rear of the army.
The distance of fifty meters was too short for Jiang Fei who had practiced the Taixu Divine Art. As long as he needed it, he could reach the destination in an instant with a burst of energy.
Seeing that he was about to catch up with Guo Ziyi, how could he allow the other party to continue to escape to the rear of the army? The next moment, he let out a long sigh, and flew into the air from his horse with a gun in hand!
Taixu Qi burst out, and he kept moving over the heads of the Black Witch soldiers in front of him at an extremely fast speed. Before Guo Ziyi could ride his horse out of the central army position, he had already killed Guo Ziyi from behind!
Jiang Fei kicked in the air and a stream of energy shot out. Guo Ziyi, who was galloping on his horse, screamed and fell off his horse.
After landing, Guo Ziyi hurriedly crawled forward a few steps. As soon as he turned around, Jiang Fei had already arrived in front of him, holding a spear in his hand, with the tip of the spear pointing at his neck!
Once the marshal was captured, everything would come to an end. Jiang Fei directly lifted Guo Ziyi up from the ground, brought him to a high place on the hillside, drew his sword and put it on his neck, then shouted loudly with Taixu Qi: "Brothers, the thief marshal has been captured, we have won!"
"The thief has been captured!"
Jiang Fei kept shouting, and the soldiers of the Great Sun Dynasty who were fighting bravely around him were like being injected with chicken blood when they saw this scene. Their fighting power seemed to soar several times, and they became more and more brave in killing the soldiers of the Black Witch Kingdom.
Often one person can kill four or five people in a row as if nothing happened. He looks much more ferocious than little Teddy.
The state of the soldiers of the Black Witch Kingdom was very different from that of the people of the Great Sun Dynasty. They all had no will to fight, and the fighting spirit on their faces looked as painful as if they had eaten a dead fly.
The enemy had killed five generals in a row before the battle even started, which had a great impact on their morale. They thought that they could easily destroy the army of the Great Sun Dynasty after the battle, but the opposite happened.
It is indeed a devastating force, no one can be faster than this!
This was the fastest war in the history of the Black Witch Kingdom. The two armies had only been fighting for ten minutes, and their commander was captured alive. This was simply a huge joke.
All the soldiers in the army cursed Guo Ziyi in their hearts. Is this guy a pig? Even a pig would know to run away when someone comes to catch him!
Even a pig can hold out for ten minutes if it is protected by a million soldiers!
There is no point in complaining, things are already doomed and cannot be reversed.
Still fighting? What the hell!
Without the command of a commander-in-chief, the million-strong army would be like a pile of loose sand, each fighting on their own. How could they be a match for the army of the Great Sun Dynasty? If they stayed, they would only be slaughtered by the other side.
After hearing the news, all the soldiers of the Black Witch Kingdom stopped fighting immediately, turned around and left, retreating quickly towards Jitian City.
It is not a glorious thing that the commander-in-chief was captured. Now they can still have a chance of winning as long as they retreat to Jitian City. As for the commander-in-chief, they have to wait for the wrath of the King of the Black Witch Kingdom. It will depend on whether he will appoint a new commander-in-chief on the spot or send another one. Anyway, it has nothing to do with them, the soldiers.
But it would be fatal to those generals who hold high positions of power. Perhaps the king would be so angry that he would take their lives.
The gates of Jitian City were wide open, and countless Black Witch soldiers who had not yet joined the war retreated into the city. This situation led to the slaughter of large numbers of Black Witch soldiers who had not yet had time to enter the city. Soon all the soldiers of the Great Sun Dynasty surrounded the entire gate of Jitian City and were at the gates of the city!
Guo Ziyi felt extremely uncomfortable watching this scene, and even more humiliated. Since he entered the court as an official, he had never been so embarrassed, whether in the court or on the battlefield!
Nowadays, one misstep can lead to eternal regret!
It’s a pity that although he was angry, he dared not move at all. After all, there was a sword on his neck.
Soon all the surviving soldiers of the Black Witch Kingdom retreated into Jitian City, and the general on the city wall immediately ordered the city gates to be closed and the drawbridge of the moat to be retracted.
He also ordered arrows to be shot at the soldiers of the Great Sun Dynasty who dared to approach the suspension bridge.
Suddenly, dozens of people were killed by arrows one after another. Seeing this, Jiang Fei immediately ordered: "The whole army retreats 500 meters and reorganizes!"
Jiang Fei led Guo Ziyi back to the central army. Jiang Yue also rode over quickly. Before he arrived, his voice came first: "Xiao Fei, well done!"
Jiang Fei was praised and laughed happily, "It's all thanks to Prime Minister Zhu's good eyesight, otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell who is the marshal and who is the soldier among these millions of troops!"
"Based on the way he's dressed, I would think he's a general at best. How could I tell he's actually a marshal?"
At this time, Zhu Qiyu and Jiang Yue rode up together. As soon as he got off the horse, Jiang Fei kicked Guo Ziyi to his knees, and then said to Jiang Yue: "Brother, tell me, what should we do with him? Should we kill him with a sword, and then kick his head to Jitian City to humiliate the people of the Black Witch Country!"
Zhu Qiyu said quickly: "Absolutely not. A marshal who commands a million troops is of great value. We can hold him hostage to negotiate with the Black Witch Nation and seek greater benefits!"
At this moment, Guo Ziyi, who was kneeling on the ground, shouted coldly: "A soldier can be killed but not humiliated. Kill this Marshal with a single blow, and don't humiliate me!"
After saying this, Guo Ziyi snorted coldly and turned his head to the side, as if he was determined to die, but his body was shaking uncontrollably.
Jiang Yue couldn't help but sneer when he saw this, and asked loudly: "From your tone, it seems that you are dissatisfied with the result of this battle?"
"Of course!" Guo Ziyi stared at Jiang Yue fiercely and said angrily, "You are just using some conspiracies and tricks. If I were to be in charge of the central army with a million troops, how could you win so easily?"
"What's more, I still have Jitian City to defend. No matter how strong your martial arts skills are, you can't do anything to me!"
"Hey, you lost, but you're still so aggressive. You really deserve a beating!" Jiang Fei was so angry that he pretended to hit him, but was immediately blocked by Jiang Yue.
When Guo Ziyi saw that Jiang Fei couldn't beat him, he became even more arrogant. As a marshal, he naturally had courage and would not be afraid of anyone from the enemy country!
"It's just my carelessness. You are just slightly better. There are nearly one million troops of the Black Witch Nation in Jitian City. I don't know what you have to brag about!"
Guo Ziyi said confidently: "With less than 300,000 troops, you can't even capture Jitian City, let alone repel our Black Witch Army!"
Jiang Yue said expressionlessly: "Are you really so confident that we can't capture Jitian City?"
"Of course!" Guo Ziyi said with certainty.
"Okay! In that case, we will not kill you, but let you go and let you, the marshal, return to Jitian City!"
Jiang Yue slowly drew the sword from his waist, looked towards Jitian City in the distance, and said loudly: "You, the Marshal, just stay in Jitian City and watch carefully. See how the two of us brothers break through your Jitian City with a million troops, and see how powerful our Great Sun Dynasty's king army is!"
"This general wants you, the marshal, and the entire Black Witch Nation to know what the wrath of the Great Sun Dynasty is!"
These words were so heroic that Guo Ziyi felt a little scared and guilty, but he was still excited in his heart. These words did not sound like a lie. Was he really going to let him go?
"Can you make the decision? Are you really not going to kill this Marshal?" Guo Ziyi asked tentatively.
