Chapter 305 Sharing Life and Death
However, Mu Heng's rear army was in disarray, and the three front armies each brought only a thousand troops to Qifengtai. Under orders, they could not be effective for the time being.
At the same time, Han Haijun and Bai Su's forces reacted quickly and attacked from both sides.
Immediately, the sounds of fighting erupted, and the three sides clashed in chaos.
In the chaos, Mu Xi had already lunged at Mu Xun: "Mu Xun..."
Dai Xin jumped onto the chariot first and quickly dealt with the guards watching Mu Xun.
With a loud "boom," the explosives detonated first from the outer perimeter of Qifengtai Square.
That's true. Since Mu Heng has come in person, he can't just ignite the explosives under his feet first; he needs to allow time for a buffer.
"Let's go..." Mu Xi quickly cut the ropes binding Mu Xun, but tripped over her own feet.
"No...you should leave here first..." Mu Xun finally managed to speak.
Mu Xi looked down and realized that Mu Xun's feet were still chained, with the other end of the chain extending to the iron railing of the carriage shaft and locked together.
"Blow them up, blow them up..." At the same time, Mu Heng shouted frantically while fighting Bai Su.
Immediately, Mu Heng's Red Carp Guards frantically threw down torches.
Bai Su roared, "Protect the Emperor with all our might!"
In an instant, more than a hundred warriors in light armor and silver helmets appeared out of nowhere on Mu Xi's side. Half of them went to fight the Red Carp Guards, while the other half surrounded the chariot where Mu Xi and Mu Xun were, resisting the enemy who surged up like a tide.
Mu Xi disregarded everything else and frantically slashed at the iron chain with her sword, but the chain was made of refined iron, sparks flew everywhere, and it had no effect whatsoever.
"You go first, I'll figure something out." As Mu Xun spoke, he picked up a sword from beside his feet and began slashing wildly.
Seeing that the iron chains binding Mu Xun's feet could not be cut, Mu Xi turned to cut the ropes binding explosives around the battlefield, determined not to leave: "I'll go with you."
"Boom..." As the two were speaking, several more gunpowder explosions rang out.
"No, you must leave now!" In his haste, Mu Xun pushed Mu Xi aside and shouted to the surrounding area of the chariot, "Protect the prince, take the prince away first!"
Dai Xin, who was desperately resisting, looked back, took a step back, and pulled Mu Xi with him as they retreated.
Mu Xi broke free: "No, cut the rear fuse, and we'll push the chariot away together first."
"Yes." Dai Xin responded, and the silver-armored warriors shrank their battle formation and retreated to protect the chariot. However, the surrounding area was filled with a tidal wave of fighting weapons. If they could have moved, they would have done so long ago.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mu Xi searched around the chariot for the seal, intending to cut off the seal buried underground first.
Just then, a loud "boom" exploded in my ears.
Mu Xi felt a tremendous force sweep over the back of her head, and she was thrown forward, her vision going black and she losing consciousness.
"Soul Master? Soul Master..." After an unknown amount of time, Mu Xi's consciousness was awakened in the inner void.
The strategist appeared before Mu Xi dressed in a purple-gold python robe and wearing a golden crown.
"What am I doing..." Mu Xi suddenly realized, "Where is Mu Xun?"
"Soul Master, do not be afraid, the Soul Master is not dead yet." The strategy personality remained calm.
"Still not dead?" Mu Xi asked, unconcerned. "I need to wake up. Where's Mu Xun? How is he?"
Ignoring him, Tao Lue's handsome face, identical to Mu Xi's, revealed a subtle mix of complexity and satisfaction: "Congratulations, Soul Master, on achieving your wish today. Your wish is fulfilled, and so am mine. Just now at the altar, you were adored by ten thousand people. If I were a feudal lord, I could not have achieved anything like that, let alone the fact that the Soul Master, a woman, could do it. With that, I have no regrets. It is a pity that the Soul Master's body has not yet recovered its vitality, and the shock just now damaged her heart meridian. It is time for me to make a choice, which is also part of the strategy."
"What strategy?" Mu Xi hadn't reacted yet.
The figure of the strategist began to turn into white light, and then merged into her heart meridian.
A warm current flowed in again, spreading throughout the body and then dissipating into the surrounding void from every pore.
In an instant, the dark void was illuminated by white light, and then the whole place was lit.
Mu Xi felt as if she were bathed in warm, safe white light. Without saying a word, she knew that the dark void had disappeared as the white light spread, and all her personalities had returned to her soul, becoming a part of her. She was now whole, even more whole.
The next instant, before he could even open his eyes, several anxious voices called out from above and around him: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Mu Xi opened her eyes and found herself lying in Mu Xun's arms, while Bai Su and several other veteran generals were retreating and fighting their way towards them.
The sounds of fighting all around them were deafening, yet they were still on the battlefield.
Mu Xun had already dismounted from the chariot, but due to the iron wire restraint, he was still unable to leave the chariot even an inch, and could only temporarily protect Mu Xi with his own body.
"Oh no, watch out for the torches..." Dai Xin suddenly shouted from not far away.
As the shouts rang out, several torches were thrown from above.
Mu Xi jolted awake and stood up.
Bai Su and the others immediately scattered and used their swords to defend themselves.
"Hahaha..." Mu Heng let out a wild, sinister laugh, "Fire arrows, fire arrows... blow them to bits..."
Mu Xi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Mu Heng, his face covered in blood and his expression ferocious, riding on his horse and directing the Red Carp Guards around him to light arrows and shoot them at him.
It turns out that after Mu Xi was knocked unconscious by the explosion, Bai Su was so shocked that he attacked Mu Heng and seriously injured him before retreating. Unexpectedly, Mu Heng took advantage of this opening.
Upon seeing this, Mu Xun was greatly alarmed and pushed Mu Xi towards Bai Su, saying, "General Bai, quickly take the young master away."
"No..." This time, Mu Xi was already "prepared" and grabbed Mu Xun's sleeve. "We will never be separated again. If we die, we die together."
In their horror, everyone tried to block the flaming arrows, but there were too many of them to stop.
Several flaming arrows landed on the chariot, and the flames were about to ignite the already broken gunpowder fuse.
At this moment, a tall and burly figure rushed up from the side, leaping onto the chariot like a bear, and extinguished the fire in a few quick steps and swings.
“Bao Fan…” Mu Xi finally came to her senses and pointed in Mu Heng’s direction, “Ignore this side, General Bai, to catch the thief, first catch the king, and cut off the fuel supply.”
"Yes." Bai Su also realized what was happening and, with a shout, led his men to charge back into battle.
While they were talking, the next wave of rockets came.
Dai Xin and his guards once again put up a fierce resistance.
Taking advantage of the moment, Bao Fan pulled down his pants, and a stream of urine gushed out, splashing onto the explosive packs around the tank.
"Hiss..." Mu Xi's brows furrowed violently. The scene was too much to bear, but she had to admit that this trick worked.
Mu Heng's crazed smile froze, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. The next second, Bai Su's steel knife attacked, catching him completely off guard.
The two sides clashed again at one location.
