Chen Xin modestly stated that he wasn't the kind of famous official who would be recorded in history books. He couldn't use his eloquence to make the enemy retreat. He was just an ordinary person who liked to use some tricks. "Of course not. So, I specially prepared a big gift for the Khan. I originally planned to wait until the Khan arrived in Qingliang Valley to present it with both hands. Who knew that we would meet here before entering the valley."
Chen Xin accepted the seal, which shimmered with a unique brilliance in the sunlight. The Northern Desert Army, previously filled with only the clatter of horses' breathing, erupted in discussion. Those standing further away could only see the object in Chen Xin's hand, gleaming in the sunlight, but they couldn't clearly discern what it was. Someone couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't that the royal seal?" This sparked a flurry of discussion among the soldiers.
The tribal leaders standing behind Hu Du looked at the object in Shen Xin's hand. Judging from its size and shape, it was indeed very similar to the seal of their Northern Desert. However, due to the distance, it was difficult to see clearly. Besides, if you want to know the authenticity of a seal, you have to hold it in your hands and carefully examine it before making a decision. The moment Shen Xin took out this object, it was destined to cause a big ripple among the Northern Desert Army.
Beimo Soldier A commented, "Isn't that our Beimo's royal seal? How did he get it in his hands?"
Beimo Soldier B swore confidently, "It must be fake. That's the royal seal. That person must have made a fake out of something."
Northern Desert Soldier C said, "But I noticed something was wrong with the Khan's expression when he saw that man just now!"
Upon hearing this, Bei Mo Yi couldn't help but complain, "Don't talk nonsense! Standing so far away, the most you can see is the Khan's back. Be careful that the people above you hear you!"
The soldiers' whispers were making Yun He, who was resting with his eyes closed, feel a little uncomfortable. He hated this kind of rustling noise the most, which was even louder than the loud shouting in the market.
Chen Xin wasn't stupid. He had taken something and claimed from afar that it was the Northern Desert's royal seal. How could they possibly believe him? However, even if they said they didn't believe him, his purpose had been achieved. "Why, Khan, do you think that this royal seal in my hand, which can command all the tribes of the Northern Desert, is too much? Very well, then, to verify the authenticity of what I have and to prove that I'm lying, Khan, why don't you take out the royal seal for everyone to see?"
Hu Du shuddered slightly, and large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks. He couldn't tell if it was because of the weather or because he was too nervous. The gazes from behind him were like knives, cutting into his back again and again, making it difficult to say or not to say anything. At this awkward moment, Yun He drew his bow and shot an arrow at Chen Xin's hand holding the royal seal. Although Chen Xin dodged in time and the sharp arrow did not pierce his arm, it was a sudden and unexpected arrow, and his arm was still injured and bruised.
Chen Xin looked down at his injured arm, casually took out the medicine from his bag, and while slowly applying the medicine and bandaging it, he sighed in the direction of the arrow: "Wow, your archery skills are not bad."
After Yun He put down his bow, he kindly reminded them, "This is a battlefield, not a place for you two to reminisce about the past. Form your ranks!"
The people in Tianshu Tower would never listen to Yunhe's orders, but after he finished speaking, Xiahou Qing winked at the messenger next to him, and everyone quickly took action after he finished speaking.
Wang Yanzhou saw that Xiahou Qing was finally about to take action, so he put away the folding fan he had just used to taunt them. After looking at Chen Xin, he said, "Ah Xin, there's no poison on the arrow, right?"
After bandaging the wound carefully, Chen Xin said, "Judging from the color, it's naturally non-toxic. Don't worry, you have to bear it even if you can't!"
"good!"
Led by Xiahou Qing and Yun He, the soldiers of Tianshu Tower rushed towards Wang Yanzhou and the few soldiers around him. The soldiers who had just retreated to the back, those who could shoot bows and arrows, whether they were archers or not, had already taken out the bows and arrows they had prepared in the morning.
Although there are not many people around Wang Yanzhou, each of them is a skilled fighter who can fight ten at a time, especially when they meet Xiahou Qing's subordinates, most of whom are soldiers who have not received much training. It can be said that they can fight one against a hundred.
Not to mention the thousands of skilled warriors that Shi Zairong had carefully selected from the Nanyue army, the Qilin Guards alone, though small in number, were renowned in the martial arts world and at court. This wasn't simply due to the reputation of the Qingliang Palace, but rather their own hard-earned strength. Therefore, even though they seemed to have no advantage in numbers against the Tianshu Tower in a head-on clash, they didn't suffer a single defeat.
If a large number of archers were to take action during the battle between the two sides, the final result might be that too many of their own people were accidentally injured. Now that the time is not right, no one dares to act blindly.
The Northern Desert army remained motionless, as if waiting for something. A moment later, a loud bang erupted, and a massive hole appeared in the ground. Northern Desert's ultimate weapon had finally appeared. The Southern Vietnamese soldiers couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Previously, it was Tianming who had caught Qingliang Valley off guard with artillery fire, but now it was being used against them. Furthermore, they hadn't expected to find themselves facing their former mortal enemy.
However, although the power of this artillery was enormous, strangely, it could never land where they wanted. To put it simply, it was like a person who had not eaten enough and had no strength in his hands. No matter how hard he tried, he could not throw the stone in his hand to the distance he wanted.
Hu Du, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, remarked that the situation was quite different from what he had expected. While he hadn't yet ordered anyone to assist Xiahou Qing, and the Tianshu Tower's men could still hold out for a while longer, he hurriedly whispered, "What's going on? Is there something wrong with the artillery? It's powerful, but it couldn't hit Wang Yanzhou, and why are all the people killed in it from the Tianshu Tower?"
"I'll go check it out right away!"
After the first round of artillery attacks stopped, Chen Xin turned his horse around and ran towards the soldiers behind Wang Yanzhou who were still waiting for orders: "Brothers, the artillery is not hitting us at all, even God is helping us!"
The morale of the Qingliang Valley and South Vietnamese army, who seemed to be assisted by God, was greatly boosted after seeing what was really happening before their eyes. In this case, why are they still standing there? It’s time to make achievements!
