This villain has become a ghost

The dull and rapid sound of war drums came from afar, like thunder, making people's eardrums hurt.

Xia Ruozhi and Chu Shiqing looked at each other.

...Murong Jin indeed broke his promise.

She did not lead her troops to Xuanzhou.

But that's good too. I don't have to worry about her turning against me at any time. I can concentrate on dealing with General Huqi.

The flags fluttered in the strong wind.

Huqi was a burly man with a full beard. He raised his long sword high and roared, "Warriors, for glory, kill!"

Xia Ruozhi ordered:

"Defend the country and be invincible!"

"kill!"

Suddenly, the sound of shouting and killing was deafening. Swords clashed, sparks flew, and the sound of metal clashing was intertwined.

Most of the Chiyu assault soldiers were equipped with battle axes, and with proper defense, they were unstoppable for a while, causing Daying's assault soldiers to retreat step by step.

However, experienced soldiers can see that the shortcoming is lack of sensitivity.

The enemy on the opposite side swung a heavy battle axe and chopped it fiercely at the Daying charging army. The charging soldier dodged and stabbed the enemy's chest with his long sword.

Blood spurted out, staining the sand beneath their feet red.

On the other side, the cavalry started fighting, and the sound of horses' hooves was sharp and piercing.

The Chiyu cavalry, each of them strong and sturdy, rode their massive warhorses, sweeping in like a hurricane. Their spears, like venomous snakes spitting their tongues, struck directly at the vital points of the Daying cavalry.

The cavalry of Daying Army reacted extremely quickly, forming a tight formation and brandishing their long swords tightly, forming a solid line of defense.

Chu Shiqing gripped the reins tightly, steering his warhorse left and right in the enemy formation, the long sword in his hand flying up and down, instantly killing several enemies.

The battlefield was filled with smoke and corpses were everywhere. Xia Ruozhi stood on a high ground, calmly observing the battle and commanding his soldiers:

"Strengthen the defense on the left wing! Outflanking on the right wing!"

Dust is flying.

Xia Ruozhi had a sharp eye and observed that although the axemen of the Chiyu Army were brave, their steps were heavy and it was inconvenient for them to turn around.

At this time, it is necessary to quickly adjust tactics and order the sword and shield soldiers of the Daying Army to step forward, use their footwork and shields to resolve the opponent's offensive, and at the same time look for opportunities to counterattack.

The sword and shield soldiers of Daying Army rose and fell like the waves, sometimes retreating and sometimes counterattacking fiercely.

After a while, the formation of the Chiyu army began to loosen.

Although the Chiyu cavalry is powerful, their formation is too disorganized and lacks coordination.

Chu Shiqing was keenly aware of this, so he led the Daying cavalry and cut into the weak link of the enemy formation with lightning speed, instantly splitting it into several sections.

General Huqi narrowed his eyes and his face became gloomy.

His troops were already at a disadvantage, and seeing that the Chiyu army had been breached in both offense and defense, and suffered many casualties, he knew that this tactic could no longer be used.

...One General Qi Sha was so formidable, yet he was still defeated despite being outnumbered. Now here comes General Chang Geng, who is equally matched with him.

More importantly, they are all so young.

Huqi gnashed his teeth.

He was not reconciled.

He has struggled for many years and worked hard for so many years, and finally reached his current position and gained the reputation of "God of War". However... he is not as talented as others who are born as generals.

The old Red Plover King deserved to die, the Red Plover King also deserved to die, those who had bullied him in Daying and Chiyu also deserved to die, and those who were doted on by thousands but lived a life of luxury by stepping on the corpses of others also deserved to die...

This world should be completely destroyed!

Huqi shouted, "Archers, get ready!"

Chiyu's archers drew their bows and arrows, and a rain of arrows swept down. Huqi seized the opportunity, jumped on his horse, and swung his long sword, cutting down the Daying soldiers.

As soon as his horse landed, he was hit by a knife. Hu Qi blocked it immediately. Through the wind, sand and dust, he saw Xia Ruzhi who had been fighting with him.

Xia Ruozhi's black armor was very eye-catching and capable, his sword flashed with a cold light, and he even had a knife with traces of fire on his waist.

As a rain of arrows came, Chu Shiqing gave the order:

"Defense!"

The cavalry and infantry holding shields rushed to the front, maintaining an impregnable formation to withstand the rain of arrows.

When the enemy's arrows paused briefly, the army made way for a passage and the catapults were pushed to the front.

The Chiyu army thought that the enemy wanted to throw rocks to kill the soldiers in front of them, so they just held their breath and observed the direction of the rocks.

Unexpectedly, the dark giant caused a huge explosion the moment it landed!

It's gunpowder!

For a moment, there were dead and wounded everywhere, screams and the sound of flesh being torn apart were mixed together, and the smell of burning mixed with yellow sand was suffocating.

Hu Qi turned the knife, pointed the blade at Xia Ruzhi, and said solemnly:

"The gunpowder this time seems different from the previous ones..."

It is more lethal than any previous one and has a larger attack range.

Xia Ruozhi raised his hoof and bypassed Huqi, then killed a Chiyu cavalryman who was accompanying him and cut his throat.

Blood splattered on Huqi's face.

Xia Ruozhi said:

"There are even more lethal weapons that can take your life with just a flick of the finger."

"It's just that the three border states are short of supplies and can't make it. Otherwise... you wouldn't have the chance to stand before this general."

Hu Qi wiped the blood from his cheek, the white hair on his temples dyed red, and he raised his knife and killed:

"You're talking about...a musket, right?"

"You should be thankful that you didn't use this weapon, nor did you rely on it for victory or defeat. Otherwise... you would have been defeated."

"Someone figured out how to deal with it and told me about it."

The two men's swords clashed countless times.

Xia Ruozhi gritted his teeth and said:

"You're working with the Queen Mother!"

Hu Qi was tall and stronger than Xia Ruzhi, so he used brute force to knock him back.

Xia Ruozhi felt a dull pain in all his internal organs.

Huqi did not deny his words, but said: "Of course!"

"My Lord is the most outstanding person in this world and the one who understands me best. Although she is young, she possesses abilities that surpass anyone else. I am willing to submit to her and to pledge allegiance to our spiritual totem!"

Huqi stabbed his throat again with a swift and fierce attack:

"Boy!"

"Even though you have exceptional combat abilities and are a natural born general, in terms of martial arts alone, you cannot match this general's twenty years of training!"

Xia Ruozhi raised his sword to neutralize his attack, and the shock made his palm hurt. He raised his sharp eyes and said:

"But today... you will die, and you will lose!"

"If Murong Jin doesn't come to support you, you will definitely be hiding here and not even a trace of your body will be left."

Hearing this, Hu Qi's pupils shrank, he took a step back and asked:

"What did you say?!"

Murong Jin was the new leader of Chiyu. He had already sent a message to her, telling her that Xuanzhou was in trouble and urgently needed support. How could she not come?

Unless...she already knew that he had betrayed her.
