Chapter 162 The War Was Imminent
Chapter 162 The War Was Imminent
“A bunch of rubbish! How could Lin Feiyang escape?” Di Qing burst into towering rage. The scout brought back the news that the Commander in Chief was seriously ill, and it was really a lethal blow. Di Qing hurried to deployed forces and headed to the Jing Town. Di Qing had the artillery modified and placed on the horseback, so that the artillery battalion could go forward without any burdens instead of dragging down the general marching speed. At the sight of Di Qing’s arrival, soldiers knelt on the ground and paid salutes with scare. The Majesty did come in time.
“Your Majesty.” Soldiers felt relieved as they saw Di Qing as their savior. Di Qing came to the commander-in-chief camp directly, followed by those soldiers. When he came to the gate of the camp, those with sharp eyes knelt to the ground instantly. In the camp, the military doctor felt Lin Xiaosa’s pulse, and found that bouts of anger and anxiety blocked the Commander in Chief’s heart meridians, so some decoction was needed to relax the veins.
“Is Xiaosa better now?” Di Qing looked worried. But no one could believe that how many plots hid behind his superficially benevolent countenance? Lin Xiaosa struggled to sit up, but Di Qing stopped him.
“Have a good rest.”
“Feiyang was killed by the Jin’s soldiers.” Lin Xiaosa felt the blood was towering in his body, and then spurted out of his mouth, leaving a bloody spot on the quilt. Di Qing felt delighted inwardly at it and thought that Lin Feiyang died at the right time, because only in this way, could Lin Xiaosa fight to the end with all of his strength. But the report that the scout sent back said that Lin Feiyang was rescued. Was it wrong? Judging from Lin Xiaosa’s appearance, he was not a malingerer. Di Qing frowned more tightly.
“The army cannot do without the Commander in Chief a day.” Di Qing wanted to use Lin Xiaosa’s hatred, as sometimes the hatred could beat thousands upon thousands of horses and soldiers. The military doctor got nervous by the Majesty’s remarks. And no improvement was seen in Commander in Chief now, even if he had taken the decoction. Therefore, a desperate remedy was needed to cure the disease thoroughly and clear up the siltation in Lin Xiaosa’s body. The military doctor also needed the Majesty to playact in coordination with him before Lin Xiaosa. The military doctor spoke the Commander in Chief’s crux. Qi army needed Lin Xiaosa. The two walked out of the camp. And Di Qing ordered a soldier to dress up as a Jin soldier, and then held him into the camp. Lin Xiaosa was delirious and rushed up to the seeming Jin soldier.
“The murderer who killed Feiyang...” Before Di Qing finished his words, Lin Xiaosa slashed the soldier, with blood spraying out several meters away. The military doctor felt guilty, as an innocent life was killed.
“I will spare no one who killed Feiyang.” Lin Xiaosa seemed to be possessed and burst out laughing wildly. His laughter sounded ghastly frightening.
“He is your brother.” Di Qing had only one purpose: to break into the Jin City, kill all the people of nine clans kindred to Yan Shen, and then thrash the entire Jin City, leaving no traitors in the world, even Xu Linghe knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
“Transmit my order: assemble the hundreds of thousands of military forces and head to the Jin City before dawn.”
Di Qing got what he wanted. The military doctor felt relieved when seeing the Majesty’s gloomy look fade away. Although the move was rather merciless and violated the medical ethics, the military doctor had no alternative but to surrender to imperial authority. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com
The Jin troops were divided into two parts and headed to the Qi’s barrack, because they wanted to grasp the opportunity to break into the Qi’s camp when the opponent was unprepared. However, the moment the Jin troops entered the Qi’s military camp, they were surrounded by the Qi soldiers. Madam Yu killed five opponents in a raw. However, Qi soldiers rushed to them continuously. After several rounds, Madam Yu found it difficult to withstand the attack. Lin Xiaosa gave the command, and then all the artillery fired together. The Flowing Light shells exploded with deafening noises. War horses turned into battle. They carried the artillery and dashed to the Jin troops with neighs. Although those war horses were just animal, they were so well-trained that the Jin troops were exploded to retreat out of the Qi’s military camp. Confronted with the enemy, Lin Xiaosa would not spare none of them. Artillery shells streaked across the night sky to the Jin soldiers. Madam Yu set the formation to protect her soldiers’ lives. She leaped into the sky, as nagas were expert at the Water Escape Technique. She gathered spirit power with hands, and the incantation penetrated her body. In the firelight, Madam Yu drew the water from rivers, hoping to put out the artillery’s power. A gust of wild wind sprang up, and the clouds were split open by the spirit light. Water drilled out from the breaches. Di Qing had foreseen Madam Yu’s movement, so he had developed some water-proof techniques to the artillery. Gunpowder was put into a lead tube, and only a thread of fuse could detonate it. War horses galloped in the falling rain. Thousands of shells shot at Jin’s soldiers. Madam Yu retreated in defeat, and the camp was strewn with Jin soldiers’ dead body. Obviously, the artillery now was immune to the rainwater. Qi’s soldiers were boosted and believed that they could recapture the Jin City one day with the assistance of the artillery. Qi’s main force pushed to the Western Front. Torn with anxiety, Madam Yu did not dare to imagine the consequence. Among her 20,000 soldiers, 5,000 had died, and the morale of the rest was at rock bottom. If things went on like that, she and her army would have no other way but to be trampled by others at will, because the enemy’s artillery was too formidable. She needed to find out a method to stop the offensive. Qi’s army kept striking against Madam Yu. She had to retreat to the col, where there was only one way available. Madam Yu thought her army could pass through the Holy Temple, a natural barrier, then circled to the enemy rear, and converged attacks to the enemy. Only in this way are there some chances for her to win. However, after several battles, she and the army had been extremely exhausted. So she ordered the Jin army to take a rest on the spot.
Zhan Ming was rather familiar with the Jing Town. But when he arrived there, what he could see were Jin soldiers’ corpse. Where was Madam Yu? Zhan Ming came up and wondered what these soldiers had suffered. Their corpses lay on the ground here and there. Judging from the degree of burns on their corpses, Zhan Ming guessed they had been attacked by artillery before their death.
“Injured by the artillery.”
“Mrs. Xu, have you seen it before?” Of course, Zhan Ming had seen it before. Last time, it was this sharp weapon that Di Qing used. Fortunately, Commander in Chief destroyed it in time. But Zhan Ming did not expect that the technique of artillery developed more sophisticated.
“It was the artillery that attacked Kunlun.” Wuyou would not let others know that an alien soul was being confined in Kunlun. A mere Heavenly Book had upturned the three realms. If more people knew that something named chip was more powerful than the Heavenly Book, the three realms would be pulled into the flames of war again. Kunlun was not strong enough to fight. Besides, would those dead brothers who had died for Kunlun be deserted in the wildness? Zhan Ming felt inexpressible pain in the heart, because one day, he might become one of them. Those cold corpses were so young and innocent. Even if Zhan Ming had witnessed life and death, he could not help trembling at the sight. War was cruel to common people, because during their short lifetime, they had to suffer the torment of war. Wuyou was deeply moved and thought that her husband was extraordinarily broad-minded. Her spiritual fingers flipped, and then the spiritual fire lit up the night. Those heroes in the battlefields would become valiant souls and safeguard their homeland forever. They would not bleed in vain. Wuyou thought her husband would build a new home for them in the near future. In the flame, souls flew to the Jin City which was actually their hometown.
Wuyou swung herself into the saddle and spread her Spirit Power to probe for Jin army’s traces. 50,000 soldiers marched in a hurry. Sands billowed to the sky. Wuyou’s Spirit Power found Madam Yu out, even detected that two forces were camped 25 kilometers away from the Holy Temple. Zhan Ming asked military cooks to prepare food, because rapid march did consume a lot of physical strength. The military cooks began making fire and cooking. As the Jin soldiers came from the South, they mainly lived on rice. Zhan Ming wanted to discuss something with Mrs. Xu, but could not find her after looking for her for a while. Zhan Ming went panic, because he knew that if anything wrong happened to Mrs. Xu, Xu Linghe would kill him without hesitation. Zhan Ming walked forward along the forest and stopped after several steps. Spirit Power lit up the night sky, and the confrontation map was vaguely visible.
“Come to have a look.” Embarrassed by the words, Zhan Ming looked so funny.
“Mrs. Xu is an expert.” Only those who had fought in the battlefield could understand Wuyou’s wonderful deployment that full preparations should be made to withdraw during the marching. Because situations in the battlefield varied from minute to minute. It was necessary for a Commander in Chief to consider in advance. Zhan Ming thought Mrs. Xu did consider the situation thoroughly and clearly, so she was deserved to be Commander in Chief’s wife.
“I once led the troops and experienced wars. Go here later. Don’t take any reckless movement before I come back.” Wuyou pointed at the map.
“Mrs. Xu, will you go to the Qi’s barrack?” Zhan Ming guessed correctly.
“Madam Yu is forced to retreat to the Holy Temple, but only one way there. We need to find out Qi army’s location before we come to save her.”
“Let’s send a few scouts into the enemy camp.”
“It is losing time. I go there myself, as it saves time.”
Zhan Ming was lost in words to persuade her, as she could save a lot time because of her Spirit Power. In the battlefield, time was life. Before her voice faded away, Wuyou had ascended to the clouds. And Zhan Ming ran back. Military cooks were busy. It was the happiest moment in the battlefield where soldiers huddled in twos or threes, enjoying the food with the flavor of home and chatting about beautiful girls. It livened the life in the military camp. Sunset glowed on their young cheeks. These boys in the green were full of hope for the future. Zhan Ming looked at them quietly and thought how much he hoped that these young soldiers could be back alive. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚
Wuyou looked around vigilantly, because the war was imminent. Soldiers were patrolling back and forth. Wuyou was not daunted by them, but it was not so easy to enter the artillery battalion. She shifted herself into a wisp of smoke, drifted through the crowds and hid under cover. She spread her Spirit Power to search the target. The artillery battalion was in the east of the camp. Wuyou flew to the east. She unveiled the door curtain carefully, only to see the well-trained horses instead of artillery. The horses reared up at the sight of a stranger. And then, Wuyou could see clearly the black things on the horse backs. Those gruesome black tubes were artillery. Horses reared up to attack her. Wuyou’s spiritual fingers swept at them, and those horses retreated to the stable in fear. Wuyou took a little thing out of her arms. it was Yan Wu’s chip which could control brains. Wuyou spread her Spirit Power and put the things into the brains of the horses. In order to verify the effect, Wuyou sent waves into the horses’ brains. Those horses under control made unexpected obeisances to Wuyou. It turned out that Wuyou could control those lethal weapons with the help of the little thing. And she even planned to give her husband some horses as gifts. When things were settled, Wuyou flew out of the Qi’s camp. It was easy to destroy the opponents’ sharp weapons, and Wuyou’s purpose was to use the sharp weapons blew the opponents badly. Only in this way could she have the initiative in the battlefield, leaving Di Qing impossible to guard against the attacks. And then, Jin’s army could have chances to take a break. Wuyou left the Qi’s military camp for the Holy Temple. The moment she landed from the clouds, naga soldiers surrounded her. Madam Yu gave a blow to her. Wuyou dodged it. Then, soldiers rushed up.
“It’s you.”
When Madam Yu saw clearly the coming person, she withdrew her Spirit Power and wondered why the fox spirit came there.
“General Yu, take order.” Wuyou held the Commander-in-Chief seal in her hand. Madam Yu prostrated herself at the sight of the seal. No one dared to disobey before the Jin army’s military talisman.
“Launch the attack at the midnight to obstruct Qi army’s main force.” The woman’s momentum pressed hard at Madam Yu. Compared to Xu Linghe, the woman looked more commanding and awe-inspiring.
“My naga army has been battered. I am afraid that I cannot do it.” After several battles, naga army had suffered great causality, which made the soldiers discouraged a lot. Madam Yu had done everything she could.
“Zhan Ming will collaborate with you.” Wuyou told Madam Yu her plan. The plan, in Madam Yu’s opinion, could make her more odds to win. According to Wuyou’s deployment, Madam Yu divided her naga troops into several columns, so that they could diverge the enemy’s forces when the enemy was too formidable to fight. When the deployment was settled, Wuyou flew out of the Holy Temple.
Wuyou flew to Jin’s military camp where Zhan Ming had assembled the forces already. The most important thing in the war was the fast speed. Since the Jin soldiers were always trained strictly and had the excellent physical ability, they could march faster by using shape-shifting, but pity that the Jin soldiers knew nothing about the shape-shifting at all, while only the spirit cultivators knew it. Therefore, Wuyou had to follow the troops without any stop, just fearing the opportunity for war might be delayed. But today was different from the common days. They had to arrive there in advance and ambush the Western Front where the Di troops would pass. Though the Jin troops were relatively weak, they were good at sneak-attack. A fewer number of people could conduct a more agile attack. They just spent an hour arriving at the Western Front and then found a hidden place for camping.
2.5 kilometers away was Di Qing’s battalion, where Lin Xiaosa was engaged in deploying the military forces. Lin Xiaosa thought the Jin army killed his younger brother, and that he must avenge it.
Di Qing was confident that he had held all the trump cards in the war against the Jin army. Horses pressed hard to the Holy Temple with artillery on the back. Di Qing thought that Jin army could not escape the doom this time, and he was desperate to take Yan Shen’s life in this fight.
Chapter 163 To Gain an Overwhelming Victory
Wuyou swung herself onto the horse, and Zhan Ming followed her closely behind. They had to arrive at the Qi army’s camp at the rat o’clock so as to collaborate Madam Yu to launch attacks. 50,000 troops marched quickly with amazing momentum in clouds of dust. Wuyou took the lead. The troops just spent four hours reaching the Qi army’s encampment. Zhan Ming estimated the time exactly by fire calculation and knew there was an hour before the rat o’clock. 50,000 forces were divided into ten columns, with 5,000 forces in each one. Zhan Ming selected the veteran soldiers and able officers to take the sneak-attack. Wuyou encamped on the spot. As the General Commander of the Jin army, Wuyou should have the momentum to manoeuvre the whole army well. When the torch was burnt out, Zhan Ming led the soldiers and broke into the Qi’s barrack first.
Burning oil bombs boosted the arrows further. Flames sprang up to heaven. Attacked by the burning oil bombs, Di’s camps were in a mess. Although Di army had made preparations, they were attacked by surprise. Lin Xiaosa swung himself on the saddle. No one had expected that Jin army would launch attacks at midnight. Di Qing had artillery battalions, so he desired to testify the sharp weapon’s killing power. Lin Xiaosa wielded the spiritual saber and showed no mercy to the Jin soldiers. He slashed at the enemies, and his armor was spotted with blood. A ghastly smile took on the corner of his mouth. Who changed the gentle and warm man into a cold-blood one? Military forces would never make people surrender, but wars could make people become more ruthless. What flowed along the saber was not the people’s blood, but the desire. Lin Xiaosa was dominated by hatred. The animosity coming from the depth of the soul became his courage to kill people. He had never known that killing was so piquant. Lin Xiaosa would avenge his younger brother. Blood fog blurred his eyes, but the spiritual saber still kept slashing. This was what Di Qing wanted to see. There was just a step away from deity to devil. Hatred was really useful. Oild bombs shot out and the battalion cracked by the fire. Zhan Ming wielded the hammer to blow out the Qi soldiers’ brains head-on, which scared the other soldiers to run back hurriedly. Di Qing shifted into Black Dragon and dashed into the clouds. The Black Dragon swept its giant tail. Jin soldiers hid behind Zhan Ming with fright, as they had never seen such a monster before. No one was a match to the Black Dragon. But luckily, Mrs. Xu had made full preparations. Wuyou who was in the Jin’s barrack kept noticing the movements in the Heavenly Mirror. It was time for Madam Yu to appear. Pangu’s spirit was flipped to the Holy Temple. Madam Yu was waiting for the signal, the moment. She issued an order, and naga soldiers rushed to the Southern Front. Zhan Ming did not know the shape-shifting, so he was defeated after several rounds. The giant tails rolled Jin’s soldiers up and threw them out. Zhan Ming could do nothing but to watch his soldiers being slashed in half. The dragon roared and frightened the horses to scatter in all directions. Even Zhan Ming was thrown several meters away. Wuyou noticed calmly the situations of the two forces, and knew that it was time for Madam Yu to launch attacks.
“Report. The Southern Front has been breached by the naga soldiers.” Lin Xiaosa rode the horses to the Southern Front. If Qi army was being attacked at both ends, Qi army would not get any good from it. Zhan Ming blocked the way to stop Lin Xiaosa. Lin Xiaosa gave a blow, while Zhan Ming confronted it with his hammer. Soldiers fled away in all directions. The spiritual saber was fighting against the hammer. After several rounds, they seemed even. Zhan Ming’s purpose was to drag down Lin Xiaosa, so that Madam Yu had enough time to break through the Front.
“Report. Jin army has broken through the defensive lines.” Madam Yu was so amazing that she was able to breach the enemy lines with the least number of military forces. What an admirable thing! Wuyou thought that her husband could bring peace to the world sooner or later with the help of such a valiant General.
Black Dragon launched another attack. Soldiers were rolled up by the hurricane. Wuyou set a spiritual net tightly. Black Dragon swept out, and those soldiers began falling down. The spiritual net extended to catch the soldiers. The rescued soldiers touched the spiritual net and felt amazed at the transparent thing. Black Dragon spat out the Dragon Pearl. Surging Spiritual Qi gathered to the Dragon Pearl. When the Spiritual Qi enwrapped the Dragon Pearl tightly, Di Qing swallowed it. The seething Dragon Pearl ran in his four limbs, and Spirit Power sprang up under his feet. Di Qing flew out. A great fire ball rushed to him on the sky. Di Qing combined the Dragon with his spirit together. Spirit Power lit up the sky. Wuyou opened the bones of her eyebrows and released Pangu’s spirit out. Blue lights spread in all directions. Zhan Ming was startled at the sight. Although he knew that Mrs. Xu knew the shape-shifting, he did not expect that her power had reached the peak of perfection. Powerful spirit swept the night sky. Mountains split and the earth shook. Soldiers fled away with scare, as they had never seen such weird scene. Qi soldiers were engulfed by the cracking ground. Horses reared up, hoping to escape the purgatory. Wuyou could not bear seeing so many young faces falling into the fissures, so she flicked her spiritual fingers and lifted Qi’s soldiers. Soldiers were still suffering from the shock. The Dragon Pearl was suppressed by Wuyou’s powerful spirit. Di Qing tolerated the tearing pain and rushed to Jiang Wuyou. Zhan Ming was worried about Mrs. Xu. That huge burning pearl could not be intercepted by a common person. The Heavenly Book spread and the golden armor covered Wuyou tightly. She waved her long arms and split the burning pearl in half. Spiritual Qi shot up to the sky. Di Qing fell down like a deflating balloon. Seeing their master falling off, soldiers flooded up to hold Di Qing. The corner of Wuyou’s mouth rose, and she thought Di Qing was too weak to withstand one blow. Zhan Ming was convinced by Mrs. Xu’s great power and thought that she was so marvelous that she could defeat Di Qing with only one movement. No one could compare to her momentum, including the Commander in Chief. Seeing Zhan Ming distracted, Lin Xiaosa took the time to drive the horse to the Southern Front. Zhan Ming shouted inwardly, “Terrible”, and then followed him. Soldiers ran after the commander and stopped Lin Xiaosa. Zhan Ming cast his hammer out, and the swirling hammer blocked Lin Xiaosa’s way. Lin Xiaosa wielded his spiritual saber and cut the hammer in half. Zhan Ming was shocked at the saber, as it could cleave the black iron hammer. Lin Xiaosa rushed out with only one thought in his mind: Jin soldiers killed his younger brother, so he must take revenge. Now, Lin Xiaosa was nothing but a killing machine.
Zhan Ming chased after Lin Xiaosa all the way, hoping Madam Yu could capture the Western Front as quickly as possible. If so, it was too late for Lin Xiaosa to reach there. Naga lit up the silk, and fire sprang up to the heaven. Madam Yu brandished her wand and issued a command. Her nagas gathered up with nagas’ tails as hard as steel thorns. Common persons’ body could not bear the thorns at all. After several rounds, Qi soldiers were injured and killed a lot. Devil soldiers changed into demonic souls and pounced at nagas and tore their bodies. Devil army was thirsty for blood. For them, the living creatures with spiritual pearls were the food. Madam Yu slapped toward the demonic souls and dissipated those little souls. The injured nagas found the pains intolerable, and once bitten by demonic souls, they could go manic till the Spiritual Qi ran out. The pain was more torturing than death. Therefore, Madam Yu submitted to slap to her injured nagas, with her tears falling on the spiritual saber. Those bitten nagas turned into souls, penetrated the saber and flew to the sky. Devil soldiers swarmed up to Madam Yu. She wielded her spiritual saber and thought that she could not fall down at that moment, because the Commander in Chief still waited for her good news. When Zhan Ming arrived there, Madam Yu had been exhausted. Naga soldiers saw the hope, and Madam Yu’s heart could rest assured as well. The reinforcement arrived in time. If they would reach later, all they could see were piles of bones. Zhan Ming waved his hammer to blow out the enemy’s brains. In the battlefield, people became inhuman, and only cared about victory and defeat, and life and death. It was even more difficult to return home alive. Lin Xiaosa slashed so long that his purlicue got numb. His body, as if possessed by devil, was full of resentment. Under his spiriutal saber were vivid lives. Hatred numbed his heart. In his eyes, it was just a life-or-death game. Piles of corpes were immersed in the blood. Devil soldiers squatted down and tore the soldiers’ body. Zhan Ming could not bear seeing his soldiers die miserably. Even though they had died, Zhan Ming wanted to bring them back intact. He waved his hammer to protect his brothers. However, devil soldiers swarmed up to Zhan Ming. Then, a naga tail swept to disperse the devil soldiers. Zhan Ming’s face was covered with blood. But for General Yu, Zhan Ming thought he would have been eaten by the devil soldiers. The two stood back to back on guard against the enemy’s sneak attack. The crucial moment of life and death could test sincerity of friends.
The devil army barred the Jin army’s way. Naga soldiers protected Madam Yu. Zhan Ming did not shrink back in confrontation with the devil army’s attack. As the commander, Zhan Ming had been indifferent to personal life and death. Jin army’s morale was high. They set tactical formation to prepare to break out by force. Zhan Ming rode to fight against Lin Xiaosa. Lin Xiaosa slapped the horse’s head. With a neigh, the horse fell over onto its back. Zhan Ming leaped into the air and swept his hammer to the Lin Xiaosa’s horse’s legs. Lin Xiaosa grasped the rein and leaped up. Zhan Ming turned over and gave one more blow. How could the horse bear the thump? And next second, it fell on the ground heavily. It was Lin Xiaosa’s cherished gallant horse which had followed him in North Desert for years. Lin Xiaosa got furious and came up to kick Zhan Ming to several meters away. Then, Lin Xiaosa slashed toward Zhan Ming. Zhan Ming rolled on the ground to dodge Lin Xiaosa’s attacks. And Qi’s soldiers protected their Commander in Chief.
Di Qing knew that Black Dragon was not the opponent of the Heavenly Book. It was time for the sharp weapon to join in the battle. Di Qing rushed into the air and gathered spirit to open the stable. Horses ran out freely and charged into the crowds. Wuyou also leaped into the air and kept a close eye on Di Qing. Hearing the call, horses were well-prepared in order. The artillery was places on the horsebacks, followed by artillery soldiers. They loaded the shells skillfully. The horses were so well-trained that they only took Di Qing’s orders. When things were prepared, Di Ling blew a whistle. Horses carried the artillery to the crowds. And soldiers fled with scare. Fire shells shot out of the steel pipe to the Jin army. Wuyou activated the chips. Then, the walloping horses suddenly shifted direction and charged at Qi army. Seeing it, Di Qing blew the whistle. However, those horses did not obey Di Qing’s order at all, as if they were mad. Fire shells shot out of the steel pipes. Explosive sounds one upon another shook the earth. Qi troops had never seen it before and then escaped to the Western Front immediately. Soldiers escorted their Majesty and fled. Controlled by the chips, horses chased after them. Lin Xiaosa rushed up to protect Di Qing.
“The horses must have been tampered.” Only then did Di Qing realize that the horses which had been trained since birth would not get mad, unless someone had juggled them in advance. Was there any spy in the military camp who had rigged on the sharp weapons ahead of time? In fact, any Spirit Power was unable to control these horses. It turned out that there was an expert instructing the battle behind the scene. Di Qing did not fear any longer, since he had gotten things straight. And then, he thought he should get the horses back and study how the opponent controlled the horses. Di Qing swung himself on the saddle, pulled the rein and rode away. The horse carried the artillery, rushed to the crowds and bombarded. Di Qing feared the artillery, but he had to take risks because he wanted to know the truth. Wuyou knew Di Qing’s intention, but she would not allow him to know the truth. Next second, her spirit power stirred up wild winds. The chip controlled the horse’ brain. Wuyou released the brain waves. The horse received them, threw Di Qing off and darted to the Qi’s barrack. Soldiers knelt on the ground with great scare. Who could expect the result? The horse just kept running madly and exploded the soldiers to die all the way. Soon, Qi’s military camp was trapped in the flames.
Zhan Ming protected Madam Yu. Qi soldiers rushed to them, and Lin Xiaosa waved his spiritual saber to kill several soldiers in a row. The naga was surrounded tightly by devil soldiers. Zhan Ming swept his hammer, as he knew that the longer they fought, the worse it was to the Jin army. Madam Yu darted to the camp, but she was blocked by the devil soldiers. Qi army seized the right time and ran to Madam Yu. Flocks of devil soldiers tore at Madam Yu. Zhan Ming got rid of Lin Xiaosa’s attack and threw his hammer to the devil army. Lin Xiaosa’s spiritual saber slashed Zhan Ming on his back. Immediately, Zhan Ming felt wet and bloody on the back, but he bore the pain to rive a way out and save Madam Yu. Horses neighed and ran wildly. Explosive sound scared the soldiers to run in all directions. And Di Qing also fled in panic.
This battle was extremely fierce. Naga army suffered great casualties, and Madam Yu was struck by the devil poison and lay unconscious. Jin army captured a large number of goods and materials. Qi Kingdom was drained of its strength by the war and lost a lot of soldiers and horses. Qi army returned to the kingdom with failure. People there were in a panic. The battles in a row had sapped the country’s foundation. Qi army had to retreat to the Northern Front, and Di Qing had to face the refugees’ problem. Thanks to the Emperor Jin’s correct command, Jin army could gain an overwhelming victory and captured 10 cities. In other words, after the battle, Jin’s territory expanded two times than before.
