Chapter 420: Cutting down the flag and seizing the leader



Emperor Ming Yan once again inspected the military camp to encourage the soldiers and boost morale, and the army advanced towards Tianlu Mountain.

On July 17, the ninth year of Mingyan, the two armies fought at Tianlu Mountain.

The war drums sounded, the two armies faced each other from afar, and at this point the true colors were revealed. There were no fancy tactics, no deployment of troops, it was just a pure hand-to-hand combat.

In the great raiding army, from top to bottom, everyone tied a white cloth strip on their head with the word "kill" written in blood on it. They were completely reckless and ready to fight to the death.

This aura mixed with sorrow and despair was so overwhelming that it was no exaggeration to say that it soared to the sky. After just one encounter, the Dayan army... couldn't help but feel frightened.

Yan Shiwei secretly cried out that something was wrong and hurriedly ordered his men to blow the horn, but before the Yan army could respond, they heard the general of the Da Xi army on the opposite side shouting, and the Da Xi army rushed down like crazy.

The simple and crude pig-rush tactics and suicidal attacks are the tactics commonly used by the raiding army. They are extremely stupid and monotonous and inflexible.

However, it is extremely suitable for war maniacs like Daxiu.

Especially in such a do-or-die situation, this momentum alone was enough to make the enemies retreat step by step.

Yan Shiwei kept shouting and ordering a change of formation, but the raiding army seemed to have completely lost their minds and rushed forward regardless.

...

...

The Dayan army's formation was dispersed before it was even formed. After several consecutive incidents, the Dayan army became demoralized and completely defeated.

No, no!

If this goes on, we will be defeated like a landslide and the situation will be extremely difficult to reverse. Even if we try to reverse it by force, it will only seriously damage our vitality!

On the chariot in the rear, Emperor Ming Yan and Yan Chengyuan both frowned instantly and thought of countermeasures anxiously.

At this moment, a long whistle was heard, the sound was extremely clear and high-pitched, and it was loud enough to stop the moving clouds.

The Dayan army, which had been stunned by the enemy's fearless aura, suddenly became clear-headed.

However, for the large attacking army that was charging forward with all their might, it was as if a blow was struck in the middle, interrupting their soaring momentum.

This long howl came from the Dayan army.

He then stretched out his body on the horse's back, slashed with his sword, took off his armor, and using the momentum of the leap, bent his body, and shot straight into the attacking army like an arrow!

Countless people exclaimed!

Even Emperor Ming Yan and Yan Chengyuan and others widened their eyes in shock.

The figure flew past everyone's shoulders, moving as swiftly as a rabbit or a falcon, so fast that he almost left an afterimage. Before the raiding army could react, they saw a flash of silver light in his palm, and the commander's flag snapped and broke in half.

Everyone shouted, followed by another scream.

The generals of the Great Xi Kingdom all wore ferocious brass masks that covered their entire faces. There were also two vertical objects on their helmets that looked like two bull horns. Ordinary soldiers did not have these.

The higher the rank of the general, the more ferocious and conspicuous his helmet is.

So, under the gaze of everyone, the figure flew towards the commander-in-chief among thousands of troops!

When the commander of the great raid, Matsudaira Hirotada, looked up, the figure who looked like a god of death had already rushed in front of him. Matsudaira Hirotada roared, pointed his long sword at him, and issued a long series of orders at the top of his voice!

But at this time he was in the enemy's camp, and the archers were afraid to draw their bows, while the guards around Matsudaira Hirotada instantly raised their swords, shouting and defending him to the death.

Huo Qijing did not hesitate.

In his eyes, the long swords standing in rows were like nothing. He stepped on the helmets of the raiding army all the way, showing his bravery and unstoppable courage. He swung his sword, and the long swords in front of him were cut off. He swung his sword again, completely clearing the obstacles.

Matsudaira Hirotada's eyes were bloodshot, and he stepped back in shock, roaring and raising his knife...

The next moment, Huo Qijing slashed with his sword, and a huge head flew out, blood splattered, and the mask fell to the ground. Huo Qijing held the golden horn in one hand, threw off the helmet, and held Matsudaira Hirotada's hair upside down, and flew back all the way, as if he was in an empty space.

He just jumped back into the formation, stood on horseback, and raised the head in his hand towards the enemy!

After the Dayan army fell silent, there was a sudden burst of cheers and the morale suddenly soared!

The great raiding army roared in despair as if they had lost their parents.

Yan Shiwei seized the opportunity, grabbed the longbow behind him, and shot out four arrows in a row. The four flags of the Da Xi army fell down.

He then took a deep breath and shouted, "Follow my command! Kill!"

"kill!!!"

The Dayan army rushed down like a giant dragon... destroying everything in its path. Countless heads were harvested, countless lives were wiped out, and in the end, the Dayan army, who knew they were doomed, committed suicide by cutting their stomachs open one after another.

There was a real river of blood and the entire army was wiped out.

In this battle, Huo Qijing should be the first to make the contribution!

In the midst of thousands of troops, he cut down the flag and captured the general, and turned the situation around with his own strength. He is truly a god!

Not being able to witness this event with his own eyes became one of Yan Shiyue's biggest regrets in life.

However, such a cool moment in the eyes of others, still made her feel a little sad when she thought about it many years later.

It was totally out of place. She thought of Tian Qilang in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Tian Qilang's mother said, "Those who are appreciated by others should share their worries, and those who are favored by others should be anxious for their difficulties. Rich people repay others with money, and poor people repay people with righteousness. It is an ominous thing to receive generous gifts from others without reason. I am afraid that you will be asked to repay them with your life!"

She is now a royal princess, and he is just a frontier soldier, a small town commander.

He wanted to be "worthy of her" and catch up with her height, but the only thing he could risk was his life.

This made her feel very sad.

So when she saw him again, her first words were: "I don't want to be a royal princess anymore. I just want to be a little country girl."

Huo Qijing held her hand for a long time without saying a word.

He wanted to say that he had planned it all out and nothing would happen to him. He wanted to say that he valued his life so much that he wanted to keep it alive to marry her, and he was reluctant to die.

But, at that time, it was indeed dangerous, and he really was risking his life. He really wanted to earn a fortune so that he could be worthy of her.

Seeing her crying like a child, with her tears falling on his hands, he couldn't hold back and gently opened his arms to embrace her.

How lucky I am that you understand every thought I have about you.

Really, I longed for it so much. I wanted to be connected with her by blood, to be intimate with her, and to give her my life.

This battle will go down in history.

When they stepped into the Daxibie Palace, stepping on the blood of the invaders, not to mention Emperor Ming Yan, even Yan Shiyue felt his heart surging!

The royal family of Daxi had obviously left in a hurry and had not yet packed up many things. Many servants and palace maids were also left behind. Naturally, someone would take care of these things. Yan Shiyue just walked back and forth to see if there was anything new that Da Yan didn't have.

After walking a short distance, Emperor Ming Yan sent someone to call her and said to her, "Don't go out and walk around. What if the remnants of the great raiders hurt you?"

Yan Shiyue poured herself a cup of tea and said, "I was just thinking, what if they have something good like Royal Wheat?"

"There's no need to do everything yourself," Emperor Ming Yan said nonchalantly, "Just tell them to bring anything strange they see to you."

Yan Shiyue nodded, leaned over and said to him: "Aye, I have a feeling, that kind of... unreal feeling."

Emperor Mingyan smiled and said, "Then I will give you something real. In this battle, I, Yue'er, have made great contributions. What reward do you want, Yue'er?"
