The assassins, armed with sharp blades, moved as fast as lightning and rushed towards the two princesses, intending to take their lives in the chaos.
Faced with this sudden all-round attack, the two princesses, although agile, fell into unprecedented danger.
That’s right, even though Li Lizhi was a princess of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang people were martial, so she knew a few tricks.
At this moment, she held the soft sword tightly and fought side by side with Li Haoze to resist the enemy's fierce attack.
Seeing that the artillery shells and arrow rain were getting more and more intense, the two princesses moved nimbly and dodged the attacks narrowly.
Sometimes they rolled on the grass, sometimes they jumped into the air, avoiding fatal blows again and again with amazing speed and reaction.
However, the assassins' attacks became more and more ferocious. They shuttled across the battlefield like ghosts, constantly launching deadly raids on the two princesses.
At this critical moment, a burst of rapid hoofbeats suddenly rang out, breaking the tense silence on the battlefield.
From the other side of the valley, a team of two to three hundred elite cavalrymen came galloping like a raging storm.
They were dressed in Tang Dynasty military uniforms, their armor shining brightly, and they held Mo Dao in their hands, the tips of the swords flashing with a sharp cold light.
These cavalrymen are the loyal guards of the two princesses.
At the critical moment, they were like divine soldiers descending from the sky, quickly entering the battlefield and engaging in a fierce battle with the death squads of the aristocratic families.
On the battlefield, swords flashed and horses neighed as both sides engaged in a desperate fight.
"Protect His Highness!" Cavalry captain Li Junxian waved the Mo Dao in his hand, shouted loudly, and rushed into the enemy camp at the head of the soldiers.
Li Lizhi and Li Haoze were not to be outdone. They waved their weapons and fought with the enemies who rushed up.
Li Lizhi's soft sword was like a spirit snake, shuttling between enemies, and every swing of the sword was fatal.
Li Haoze relied on his natural strength to smash the approaching enemies one by one with one punch.
"There are so many of these death warriors, and they are well-equipped and well-trained." Li Lizhi observed the situation on the battlefield while fighting.
Li Haoze followed her closely, protecting her safety: "Sister, don't worry, they can't hurt you with me here."
However, the number of dead soldiers was too large. Looking around, there were at least thousands of them. They came from all directions like a tide, as if there was no end.
Moreover, these death warriors have all undergone special training. They are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also fearless of death.
Each of them was like a mad beast, launching a fierce attack on the two princesses and the cavalry.
What was even more unbearable was the incessant roar of cannons in the distance, with shells flying indiscriminately towards the "little princess", and every explosion was terrifying.
The enemy's offensive was clearly determined to kill the little princess at all costs.
The continuous sound of artillery, like the grin of death, echoed in every corner of the battlefield and cast a long shadow on everyone's heart.
As time went on, the cavalrymen gradually felt the pressure.
Under the crazy attacks of the assassins, people were constantly injured and fell off their horses.
But even so, they still fought bravely and used their flesh and blood to build a solid line of defense for the two princesses.
"For the Tang Dynasty! For His Highness!" The cavalrymen shouted slogans and fought hard against the enemy.
Li Lizhi watched the cavalrymen around her fall one by one, her heart filled with grief and anger.
She brandished her soft sword and pounced on the enemy like an angry lioness.
Her swordsmanship became more and more fierce, and every swing of the sword took the life of an enemy.
Li Haoze was not to be outdone. Relying on his natural strength, he charged across the battlefield.
His fists were like hammers, knocking away the approaching enemies one by one.
His figure quickly shuttled across the battlefield, and each appearance was accompanied by the screams and falls of the enemy.
However, the number of assassins was too large. Just after killing more than a hundred people, more than a hundred people emerged from the woods.
They came like a tide, and no matter how hard Li Lizhi and Li Haoze tried to kill the enemies, they could not stop their advance.
Just when the two felt powerless, a loud horn sounded suddenly from a distance.
Immediately afterwards, a larger cavalry team rushed out from the other side of the valley.
What these cavalrymen held in their hands were not swords, but automatic firearms made by the little princess.
At the same time, an even more violent "boom" sound exploded in the dense forest where the Zheng family's assassins were, and flames suddenly shot up into the sky.
The visitor was none other than the Tang Dynasty Firearms Battalion secretly stationed in Ziyun Valley.
They mobilized as soon as the sound of artillery shells was heard and rushed to the battlefield as quickly as possible.
Although everything seemed to take a long time, in fact, it had not exceeded five minutes since the attack began.
The addition of the firearms battalion caused the battlefield situation to change dramatically in an instant.
The tongues of fire from the automatic firearms were like the scythe of the god of death, mercilessly taking the lives of the aristocratic family warriors.
The dense gunfire and the screams of the dead soldiers intertwined together, depicting an extremely tragic picture.
Although those warriors from the aristocratic families had experienced many battles, they could not help but show expressions of astonishment and fear when faced with the sudden appearance of automatic firearms.
They had never seen such powerful firearms. The continuous gunfire and the subsequent deaths instantly destroyed their fighting spirit.
"What the hell is this?" A death soldier widened his eyes as he watched his companions fall one after another under the guns of the firearms battalion.
Blood splattered all over their chests and heads, and their lives were gone in an instant.
The rate of fire and accuracy of automatic firearms are astonishing.
Even soldiers in the firearms battalion who are new to the battle can demonstrate amazing combat effectiveness after simple training.
The assassins from the aristocratic families could not get close to the enemy in the face of such firepower.
Their superb martial arts and extraordinary courage seemed so powerless at this moment.
Li Lizhi and Li Haoze also looked at this scene in astonishment.
Although they knew the immense power of automatic firearms, they were still horrified to see the carnage they caused on the battlefield.
"Is this the firearm made by Sizi?" Li Lizhi widened her eyes, her voice trembling slightly.
"Yes." Li Haoze nodded, his eyes revealing awe for this new weapon. "This weapon is so powerful that it may completely change the course of the war."
The situation on the battlefield has become completely one-sided.
The aristocratic family's soldiers were defeated one after another under the destruction of automatic firearms, and the death toll continued to rise.
However, these loyal warriors from aristocratic families are not the kind to give up easily.
They knew their mission was to protect their family and their faith, and they would not back down even in the face of such a powerful enemy.
So they gritted their teeth, brandished their swords, and charged towards the firearms battalion again.
