I walk sideways in the game world

Supported by Xia Lin, Ren Xiaoyao stumbled to the front of the formation. He took a deep breath, channeling the limited remaining Qi within him, and calmed the surging Qi and blood. Quickly, Xia Lin pulled a bottle of healing pills from her bosom, poured out a single one, and placed it in Ren Xiaoyao's mouth. The pill melted in his mouth, transforming into a warm current that flowed through his limbs. A hint of color finally returned to Ren Xiaoyao's pale complexion.

"General, how are you?" Lieutenant General Qian struggled to get up, but Ren Xiaoyao stopped him with his hand.

"I'm fine." Ren Xiaoyao's voice was still weak, but his tone was remarkably firm. "Marshal Sima, I've long heard of your great name. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed worthy of your reputation."

Marshal Sima narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him. He had to admit that Ren Xiaoyao was indeed a formidable opponent. Even in the face of a desperate situation, he still maintained such a calm and composed mentality.

"Ren Xiaoyao, stop bluffing here!" Marshal Sima snorted coldly, "Do you think you can still turn the tables?"

"Comeback?" Ren Xiaoyao's lips curled up in a mocking arc. "Marshal Sima, you seem to be overconfident. Do you know where your elite cavalry is now?"

Marshal Sima was shocked, but his expression remained calm: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You know whether I'm talking nonsense or not." Ren Xiaoyao's gaze seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. "Do you think that what you did was really flawless? You colluded with foreign enemies, embezzled military funds, and murdered loyal officials. Do you really think that no one knows about these things?"

Marshal Sima's expression changed slightly, and the fingers gripping the spear tightened slightly. These were secrets he had hidden for many years. How did Ren Xiaoyao know them?

"You..." Marshal Sima was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ren Xiaoyao.

"Marshal Sima, how long do you think you can keep this secret?" Ren Xiaoyao pressed on. "Do you really think the Emperor is completely oblivious to you? Do you think you can continue to get away with it?"

"Shut up!" Marshal Sima could no longer maintain his composure. He roared, raised his spear, and pointed it at Ren Xiaoyao. "Don't try to sow discord! Come, kill them all! Leave no one alive!" Marshal Sima's roar resounded through the sky, his eyes bloodshot, clearly enraged by Ren Xiaoyao's words. Under Marshal Sima's command, the previously disciplined army, like a flood bursting through a dam, madly rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao's position.

"General, they are going to fight to the death!" Deputy General Qian looked at the dark mass in front of him and couldn't help but feel worried.

"What are you afraid of? Just let them come!" Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were firm, not showing any fear at all. "They are already at the end of their strength. I want to see how much strength they can still muster!"

"General, you are right. I will go to fight you right away!" Lieutenant General Qian was inspired by Ren Xiaoyao's momentum and was ready to charge into battle with his long sword in hand.

"Wait!" A hand grabbed Lieutenant General Qian. It was Xia Lin. "Marshal Sima is so eager to attack, he must have something to hide. We can take advantage of this..." Xia Lin leaned close to Ren Xiaoyao's ear and whispered her plan.

"Great!" Ren Xiaoyao's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good opportunity. "Deputy General Qian, you bring five hundred elite soldiers..."

"General, I have a plan!" The previously silent Wu strategist suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention. He walked over to the map, pointed to a strategic location, and said, "We can..."

Advisor Wu explained his plan, and Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin nodded in admiration. It was a bold and risky plan, but if successful, they could wipe out Marshal Sima's army!

"Okay, let's follow your plan, sir!" Ren Xiaoyao made a prompt decision. "Deputy General Qian, you will lead 500 elite soldiers and ambush..."

As night fell, the cries of battle gradually died down. Marshal Sima led the remnants of his army in pursuit of Ren Xiaoyao, but he could never catch up. He grew increasingly anxious, knowing he had fallen into Ren Xiaoyao's trap, but now he was in a difficult position.

"Marshal Sima, the Black Wind Gorge is ahead. Should we..." a deputy general asked cautiously.

Black Wind Gorge, with its difficult terrain and easy to defend but difficult to attack, is a place that is taboo for military strategists. Marshal Sima naturally knew this, but he could no longer care about so much. He just wanted to capture Ren Xiaoyao as soon as possible and prove himself.

"What are you afraid of? No matter what tricks he has, I will break them all!" Marshal Sima gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Pass the order down, the entire army, speed up and advance. We must capture Black Wind Gorge before dark!"

The army accelerated their advance again, but what awaited them was dead silence.

"Strange, why is there no movement at all?" Marshal Sima suddenly felt uneasy. He stopped his horse and looked around vigilantly.

"General, look!" a soldier exclaimed, pointing ahead.

Marshal Sima looked in the direction the soldier pointed and saw that the hillsides on both sides of the road ahead were filled with torches, illuminating the entire Black Wind Gorge like daylight. In the light of the torches, the figures of countless soldiers loomed, their murderous intent surging...

"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!" Marshal Sima's face suddenly changed, but it was too late.

Flames shot up from both sides of the Black Wind Canyon, illuminating half the night sky red. Marshal Sima looked at the army that suddenly appeared before him, and the last shred of hope in his heart was shattered.

"I've fallen for a trick!" He gritted his teeth and spat out these three words, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness. He never thought that after so many years of fighting on the battlefield, he would fall into the hands of a young boy.

"Marshal Sima, how are you?" Ren Xiaoyao rode a tall horse and slowly walked out from behind the ambushed soldiers with a mocking smile on his face. "I've been waiting for a long time!"

Marshal Sima suppressed his anger, looked at Ren Xiaoyao coldly, and asked, "Did you lead me here on purpose?"

"That's right!" Ren Xiaoyao admitted without any reservation, "For a cautious old fox like you, I'll have to spend a lot of money to lure you into the trap."

"Aren't you afraid that I will fight to the death and die with you?" Marshal Sima's voice was fierce.

"Hahaha..." Ren Xiaoyao laughed loudly, looking up at the sky. "Marshal Sima, look at yourself now, do you still have some fighting spirit? You're at the end of your rope, why bother struggling any more?"

"You..." Marshal Sima was angered by Ren Xiaoyao's words. He was about to retort but was stopped by a deputy general beside him.

"Marshal, now is not the time to act on impulse. Let's break out first!" said the deputy general anxiously.

Marshal Sima took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He looked around and found that he was surrounded by people and it would be extremely difficult to break out.

"kill!"

At this moment, deafening shouts of killing came from all directions. Deputy General Qian led the reinforcements and rushed down the hillside like a tiger descending the mountain, launching a fierce attack on Marshal Sima's army.

Sima's army, which was already in low morale, was thrown into chaos and fled in panic under the sudden attack.

"General, what should we do now?" asked the deputy general beside Marshal Sima anxiously.

Marshal Sima's face turned ashen. He gripped the sword tightly, a fierce glint in his eyes. "Pass the order down! Fight your way out of this mess at all costs!"

Marshal Sima's personal guards were the elite among the elite. After hearing the order, they charged into battle without hesitation, trying to carve out a bloody path for Marshal Sima.

However, Ren Xiaoyao had already anticipated that Marshal Sima would break out, and he had already set up ambushes around him, waiting for Marshal Sima to fall into the trap.

"Fire arrows!"

With Ren Xiaoyao's order, countless sharp arrows shot down from the hillside like raindrops, covering Marshal Sima's personal guards.

The screams, the clashing of weapons, and the neighing of war horses resounded throughout the Black Wind Canyon, creating a scene of hell on earth.

"General, let's retreat quickly! It will be too late if we don't leave now!" A deputy general shouted anxiously while desperately protecting Marshal Sima.

Marshal Sima looked around and saw his soldiers falling one after another, while the enemy's attack became more and more fierce. He knew that he had been defeated, completely defeated.

"withdraw!"

Marshal Sima finally gave the order to retreat, but will Ren Xiaoyao let him do as he wished?

"Want to leave? Too late!" Ren Xiaoyao sneered and waved his hand behind him, "Stop them! Don't let any of them go!"

Marshal Sima was disheartened. He knew that he was in a desperate situation.

"Kill them!" Marshal Sima roared at the top of his lungs, trying to make a final struggle.

However, Ren Xiaoyao's encirclement had already been formed, like an iron wall, trapping the remaining troops of Marshal Sima in the valley.

"General, we are surrounded!" A deputy general covered in blood stumbled to Marshal Sima, his tone full of despair.

"Kill! Even if I die, I must take a few people with me!" Marshal Sima roared, waving the sword in his hand, and rushed towards the weakest point of the encirclement.

The personal guards behind him also followed Marshal Sima in the final charge with the determination to die.

However, Ren Xiaoyao had already anticipated that Marshal Sima would break out, and he had already set up an ambush here.

With a command, a rain of arrows poured down from the hillsides on both sides, like locusts, covering Marshal Sima's personal guards.

Screams rang out one after another, and the soldiers around Marshal Sima fell one after another. In the blink of an eye, his personal guards were completely wiped out.

"General, there is no hope of breaking out. We should..." A deputy general wanted to persuade him, but was rudely interrupted by Marshal Sima.

"Shut up! I, Sima, have fought on the battlefield for many years and have never been defeated. Today, even if I die in battle, I will make this brat pay the price!"

Marshal Sima was like a mad tiger, waving a bloody sword and rushing towards Ren Xiaoyao desperately.

"General, be careful!" Upon seeing this, Lieutenant General Qian quickly led his men to meet them.

"Old Sima, you are already trapped in a jar, why don't you surrender!" Ren Xiaoyao sneered, urged his horse forward, and fought with Marshal Sima.

The two horses met, swords flashed, and murderous aura filled the air.

Although Ren Xiaoyao is young, he has been through many battles and has great martial arts skills, while Marshal Sima has been on the battlefield for a long time and has rich experience. For a while, the two of them fought on equal terms.

"Hmph, boy, do you think you can defeat me like this? When I, Sima, was fighting on the battlefield, you didn't even know where to play in the mud!" Marshal Sima mocked Ren Xiaoyao while parrying his attack.

"Old scoundrel, today I'll let you see what it means to be formidable young people!" Ren Xiaoyao sneered, shook the sword in his hand, and used an exquisite sword technique to attack Marshal Sima's vital point.

Marshal Sima was shocked when he saw this and quickly swung his sword to block.

"clang!"

With a loud bang and sparks flying, the long sword in Marshal Sima's hand was actually knocked away by Ren Xiaoyao's sword!
