Chapter 840 Thunderbolt Slash
Under the night, the sound of killing shook the sky! The soldiers of the two armies fought each other thoroughly at this moment!
The Great Zhou troops, who had just finished a long journey and joined up with Jie Liancheng and his men, were not in a very good state, but they could not withstand the fact that the Liang army, which had been chased by Jie Liancheng and his men, was in a worse state.
After the outer spearmen completely formed an encirclement, Xie Liancheng, without any worries, rushed into the enemy formation like a tiger descending from the mountain.
As he charged, he swung the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand wildly, reaping the lives of enemy soldiers as if he were chopping melons and vegetables, with an indescribable ease.
"Get out of my way! Anyone who stands in my way will die!!"
Along with the roar, Xie Liancheng was covered in blood, and the enemies around him looked at him with unconcealable fear in their eyes.
With another slash of the sword, he knocked to the ground another enemy soldier who was blocking his path. At the same time, Xie Liancheng swept his eyes and quickly locked onto the commander-in-chief of the Liang army who was on the battlefield.
At that moment, as if sensing something, the Liang army commander turned around and his eyes immediately met Jie Liancheng's.
Xie Liancheng was filled with murderous intent, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. The strong sense of crisis made the Liang army commander's heart skip a beat.
Realizing that he was being stared at, he subconsciously took a step back.
He quickly called on the surrounding guards to protect him and retreat.
As the commander-in-chief, his main responsibility is to command the battle. Although his skills are not bad, they cannot be compared with those military generals. The battle between two armies is not a battle of wills. He will never take the risk to fight head-on with the opposing generals!
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, the Liang army commander heard a muffled "bang"! Along with shrill screams, the soldiers surrounding him seemed to have been chopped off by some terrible attack. Large pieces of broken limbs with smooth cuts were blown into the air with blood splattering! The frightened Liang army commander subconsciously looked back and was immediately horrified.
Xie Liancheng, who should have been at a distance from him, actually appeared behind him! At the same time, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but there were flashes of lightning flickering around Xie Liancheng! Feeling the rapidly approaching threat of death, the Liang army commander changed direction urgently and plunged into the crowd on the side.
When Xie Liancheng saw this, he glanced over and pushed the ground with his back foot. In an instant, there was another muffled sound.
At this moment, Xie Liancheng's burly body was like a human cannonball, and with the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand, he turned into a ruthless thunderbolt, splitting the bodies of all the enemy soldiers along the way in half, and the powerful impact also lifted them directly into the air! The half body of the Liang army commander flipped in the air, and by the time he reacted, his life was already cut off!
As his body fell heavily to the ground, his internal organs were scattered all over the floor.
The surrounding battlefield fell into deathly silence in an instant. Under the countless terrified faces, the Liang army soldiers had only one thought in their minds.
[Is this guy really a human?! ]
During this period, Xie Liancheng seemed to completely ignore the existence of the Liang army soldiers around him, and cut off the head of the Liang army commander with one knife and held it in his hand.
At the same time, Lord Horse neighed loudly and rushed to Li Liancheng like a ferocious beast.
Seeing this, Xie Liancheng jumped up and easily mounted his horse. He looked around at the pale faces, raised the heads in his hand and let out an angry roar!
"Live on your knees! Die standing up!!"
At that moment, the powerful deterrent force instantly destroyed the willpower of the surrounding Liang army soldiers, and in a blink of an eye, they all fell to their knees.
Shi Lei, who saw this scene from afar, was also filled with admiration at this moment.
From Shi Lei's perspective, Li Tie is already a very powerful general, and Xie Liancheng in the distance is even stronger, even unreasonable.
Just based on the exaggerated thunderbolt attack just now, Shi Lei felt that Jie Liancheng already had the ability to deal with a small-scale army single-handedly.
His presence greatly accelerated the battle here. The remaining Liang army soldiers surrendered or died, and the entire battle soon came to an end.
"Lieutenant Colonel, you are amazing! How did you guess that the enemy would launch a night attack?!"
Inside the post-war tent, the adjutant's face was filled with excitement as he watched Shi Lei handling post-war work.
Shi Lei, on the other hand, was much calmer.
"In fact, as long as you know the other party's purpose, it is not difficult to guess their actions."
The adjutants around them are basically trained to be future generals.
Just like their Majesty, when he led them on the march and fought, he would give them instructions as well. At this time, Shi Lei also showed great patience towards the adjutant around him.
"The purpose of the Liang army is to rescue the Liang Kingdom, so the enemy commander cannot hide in the mountains forever. If the Liang Kingdom is destroyed, they will still be doomed. They must escape."
"As far as getting out of trouble is concerned, there are basically two ways for them to go. One is to cross the mountains and leave from the other side, but this option is too time-consuming. At the same time, the food they carry with them may not be enough to last until that time, not to mention that there may be unknown risks on this road."
"In this case, attacking our camp under the cover of night, defeating us, retrieving our own supplies and equipment, and then returning to aid Liang State becomes the best option."
Shi Lei followed the train of thought and basically understood the other party's thoughts clearly.
"Many times, as long as you know the other party's purpose, it is not difficult to guess some of their actions. This is what Your Majesty taught me."
After hearing this, the adjutant looked like he had learned a lesson.
Because of this night attack, Shi Lei was basically busy until dawn before he could finally rest.
In comparison, Xie Liancheng returned to the tent early. After taking off his armor, he took a breath of cold air accompanied by a vigorous stretching movement. The feeling at this moment was so sour and refreshing.
It was not just because he had killed too many enemy soldiers and accumulated fatigue. The severe soreness in his body at this moment was more from the thunderbolt slash he had performed before.
The so-called Thunderbolt Slash, to put it simply, is to add a slashing action during the high-speed movement of "Lightning Dance", so as to achieve the effect of killing a large number of enemies along the way in an instant!
However, the movement method of "Lightning Dance" is too fast and difficult to control.
Under normal circumstances, just controlling the "Lightning Dance" to move as expected would require very high physical fitness, body control, and reaction ability.
If one wants to add slashing movements to the movement of "Lightning Dance" to kill the enemy, the requirements for body control and reaction ability will be raised to another level.
Even someone as strong as Jie Liancheng would feel his energy depleted and his entire body ached after each use of his skill.
Fortunately, he killed the opponent's coach directly, which brought the battle to a quick end. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to maintain his condition.
