My brother is Shi Hao

Chapter 78: Wisdom and Courage

The golden spear tore through the air, heading straight for the Azure Lotus Saint's face. At the critical moment, a layer of cyan light curtain appeared around the Azure Lotus Saint, barely blocking Shi Yi's attack.

"Want to kill me? Not that easy!" The Holy Maiden Qinglian sneered, formed seals with her hands, and tried to use the charm technique again.

However, Shi Hao had already seen through her intentions. With a low shout, the power of the Supreme Bone erupted, like an invisible mountain, instantly suppressing the Azure Lotus Saint. The Azure Lotus Saint's face paled, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, no longer able to resist.

"Capture them!" With a command from the general of Border Town, the elite soldiers who had been lying in ambush all around rushed forward, surrounded the Holy Lady Qinglian and her followers, and tied them up.

"Brother Shi Yi, brother Shi Hao, thanks to you for seeing through the evil plan in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!" said the Border Town General with lingering fear.

Shi Yi shook his head, turned his gaze towards the outside of the city, and said in a deep voice: "General, there is no need to be polite. The most urgent task is to resist the foreign army. Other matters can be dealt with after the enemy is repelled."

"Yes, the top priority is to defend the border town!" Shi Hao also echoed.

"Good!" The general of Border Town took a deep breath and raised his arms, shouting, "Pass the order down, all soldiers, defend Border Town at all costs!"

"Defend the border town!" The defenders on the city wall roared in unison, their morale high.

Shi Hao wasted no time. He activated the power of the Supreme Bone, and golden light gushed out of his body, merging into the border town's defensive formation. The originally shaky defensive formation, strengthened by the power of the Supreme Bone, became even more solid, emitting dazzling rays of light.

Not only that, Shi Hao also used his understanding of battle formations to set up a series of traps inside and outside the city walls, waiting for the foreign army to enter and then give them a "surprise."

Everything was ready. Shi Yi and Shi Hao stood side by side on the city wall, looking at the dark foreign army in the distance.

"Here they come!" Shi Yi's eyes were as sharp as torches. He saw that behind the foreign army, there was a team that was particularly eye-catching. They were wearing heavy black armor, holding giant crossbows, and exuding a murderous aura.

"That is..." Shi Hao also noticed this team and frowned slightly.

"Those are the personal guards of the Dragon Scale God of War, the 'Black Scale Guards'." Shi Yi said in a deep voice, "It seems that the Dragon Scale God of War wants to..."

Before he could finish his words, a series of piercing sounds suddenly emanated from outside the city. Immediately afterwards, countless massive crossbow arrows, accompanied by whistling sounds that tore through the air, whistled towards the border town...

Shi Yi's gaze penetrated the layers of enemy troops. He saw the Dragon Scale War God, clad in golden armor, standing solemnly in the center of the ranks, flanked by a throng of guards. His pupils shone with a mysterious light, quickly detecting the enemy's movements and intentions. Shi Yi whispered to Shi Hao, "The Dragon Scale War God's personal guard, the Black Scale Guard, is attempting to use giant crossbows to destroy our city walls. We must be cautious."

Shi Hao nodded. He activated the power of the Supreme Bone, and golden light enveloped the defensive formation with even greater intensity. Meanwhile, Shi Yi quickly relayed his strategy to the Border City General, "General, order the archers to concentrate their firepower and target the 'Black Scale Guards.' They are the elite troops of the Dragon Scale God of War. Destroying their offensive is crucial."

Upon hearing this, the Border City General's expression darkened. "Pass my order! Archers, prepare! Target the Black Scale Guards! Concentrate your firepower and repel them before they unleash their second wave of crossbows!"

"Yes!" The messenger quickly conveyed the order, and the archers on the city wall quickly adjusted the direction of their target. A dense rain of arrows shot towards the "Black Scale Guard" like locusts. Although a small number of crossbow arrows still hit the city wall, most of them were hit head-on and could not pose an effective threat.

Seeing his first offensive stalled, the Dragon Scale God frowned and snorted coldly. He waved his battle flag and commanded his army to launch an infantry attack. Another wave of enemy troops quickly approached the city walls, their drums deafening and the cries of slaughter piercing the heavens.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Shi Hao shouted, and the power of the Supreme Bone continued to flow into the formation, providing a strong barrier for the defenders. Shi Yi's eyes were solemn as he calculated his next move. He quickly ordered: "Prepare hot oil and incendiary bombs, and wait for the enemy to approach before launching an attack!"

As the enemy troops swarmed towards the city wall, Shi Yi decisively ordered: "Now!"

Scalding oil poured down, incendiary bombs were hurled, and the raging flames instantly engulfed dozens of enemy soldiers. Shi Hao's formation unleashed its might, sealing off the advancing enemy within a double barrier of flame and light.

Yet, the enemy remained undeterred by this single setback. They launched repeated attacks, each time employing different tactics to break through. However, the defenders, led by Shi Yi and Shi Hao, stood like an impenetrable wall. With his keen observation of the battlefield and the insight of his pupils, Shi Yi constantly anticipated the enemy's tactical changes and adjusted his defensive strategy accordingly. Meanwhile, Shi Hao's Supreme Bone Power, combined with his formations, provided the defenders with a constant supply of defensive support.

As the battle ebbed and flowed, the morale of the defenders on the city walls soared, and the border city's defenses remained unbroken. Even as dusk fell, Shi Yi and Shi Hao's gazes remained focused, knowing full well that the Dragon Scale God of War would never give up so easily.

Beneath the city walls, the Dragon Scale God of War stood on a high ground, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield with a gloomy expression. His fists clenched, clearly displeased with the current state of affairs. A lieutenant beside him stepped forward and whispered, "Sir, our frontal assault has been repelled several times and is unlikely to prove effective again."

The Dragon Scale God of War glanced coldly at the deputy general and nodded, a fierce glint in his eyes. "Since we can't break through the front, we must find another way. Gather the elite troops, make a detour from the rear, and attack their rear defense line."

After he gave the order, the deputy general quickly retreated and conveyed it to the elite troops hiding behind.

Meanwhile, Shi Yi, standing high on the city wall, stared intently at the enemy positions as they gradually receded into darkness. He whispered, "They won't give up so easily. It seems they have a more sinister plot." Night fell, like a vast black curtain, shrouding the earth in silence. However, beneath this seemingly calm surface, undercurrents surged, and a thrilling battle was about to begin.

At the Dragon Scale God's command, an elite force quietly left the main battlefield. Agile and swift, they vanished into the night like ghosts. Their mission was to bypass the frontier city's frontal defenses, attack from the rear, and breach this impenetrable fortress in one fell swoop.

However, the Dragon Scale God of War was unaware that his plan had already been discovered by Shi Yi's double pupils. Shi Yi and Shi Hao had already set up an ambush outside the city, awaiting the enemy's arrival. They assembled an elite force, concealed within the dense forest, blending into the night, quietly waiting for their prey to be captured.

Under the cover of darkness, the elite troops of the foreign land sneaked all the way and gradually approached the rear of the border town. They were full of confidence, thinking that they were undetected, but they did not know that danger was approaching step by step.

"Here it comes!" Shi Yi said in a low voice, with a gleam in his eyes, as if he could penetrate the darkness and see every move of his prey.

As soon as he finished speaking, shouts of killing shook the heavens. Shi Hao led his ambush troops out like a tiger descending from the mountains, unstoppable. The elite troops from the foreign land were caught off guard. They rushed to fight, only to find themselves surrounded.

Shi Yi, spear in hand, charged unstoppably, claiming countless lives with each strike. Shi Hao's Supreme Bone shone brilliantly, neutralizing the enemy's attacks one by one. Under their leadership, the ambush was unstoppable, utterly routed, crushing the foreign land's elite troops.

The Dragon Scale God of War stood in the distance, his face livid as he watched his carefully planned plan go up in smoke. He had never imagined that Shi Yi and Shi Hao had been prepared and had set such an ingenious trap.

"Pass the order, the entire army retreat!" The Dragon Scale God of War gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat. He knew that tonight's operation had failed, and continuing to fight would only result in sacrifice.

"It seems we still underestimated these two guys." The Dragon Scale God of War looked towards the border town, a sinister glint in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "But the game has just begun..."

At that moment, a faint pale sky appeared in the distance. A group of soldiers and horses were galloping towards the border town. The general leading the group, clad in silver armor, looked very heroic. It was General Feiyu, who had rushed here overnight after receiving the news. He looked at the border town in the distance and smiled. "Shi Yi, Shi Hao, I'm here to lend a hand!"
