NOVEL NEXT Chapter 246: Falling Into A Trap
After the death of the cavalry general, the Jin Army soldiers' morale dropped sharply. Looking up at the city wall, they unconsciously took a step back in fear when they saw the Feng Army's Qin Nu archer team.
Sensing the crumbling of their morale, Feng Xiyan commanded, "Sound the war drums. Let General Zhan lead his team to meet the enemies."
Following his order, the soldiers beat the war drums.
Du~ Duru! Dum! Du~ Duru! Dum!
Waiting below, Zhan Qi heard the sounds of the war drums echo through the surroundings. Filled with excitement, he tightened his grip on his spear and looked at the Gate Captain.
"Open the gate," he said.
Following his order, the Gate Captain shouted, "Open the gate!"
While the heavy city gate slowly cracked open, Zhan Qi's eyes flickered with murderous intent.
The moment the city gate was fully opened, he commanded, "Charge!"
The next instant, Zhan Qi kicked the belly of his war horse and charged forward.
Behind him, two thousand soldiers of the cavalry team from the Vermilion Division of the Feng Army followed closely while shouting, "Kill!"
After they left the city, the Gate Captain ordered, "Close the gate!"
Following his order, the soldiers closed the city gate.
As the city gate shut behind them, Zhan Qi and his team were heading directly toward the Jin Army's cavalry.
After losing their cavalry general, the soldiers were like loose sand scattered by a gust of wind.
The moment they saw Zhan Qi rushing toward them with a mountain-like momentum, they hesitated.
On the battlefield, a split second of hesitation will be paid for with a life.
Seeing their hesitation, Zhan Qi's eyes flickered as he saw an opportunity. Without wasting any more time, he charged directly into the center of the Jin Army cavalry's formation.
"Kill!"
Raising his spear, he swung it horizontally.
Whoosh~!
Boom!
As his internal energy burst out of the tip of his spear, it struck the Jin Army soldiers and threw them off their war horses.
"Ah!"
"Ugh!"
Thud! Thud!
With every swing of his spear, Zhan Qi reaped dozens of lives from the Jin Army's soldiers. Some died directly under his spear, while others suffered heavy injuries and couldn't get up from the ground.
While Zhan Qi broke through the enemy's formation, his team finished off those who had been injured by him.
Watching Zhan Qi's team form a V formation and pierce into the enemies' ranks, Feng Xiyan calmly commanded, "Sound the war drums. Let the left wing and right wing begin the pincer attack."
"Yes, Great General!"
Following his command, the soldiers changed the beats of the war drums.
Dum! Dudum! Dum! Dudum!
Waiting outside Xiqiang City, Ding Zhenshun and Fan Wanming heard the sounds of the war drums.
Sitting on top of his war horse, Ding Zhenshun gripped his spear and commanded, "Charge!"
Following him, five thousand soldiers of the Green Dragon Division charged toward the Jin Army's main force from the left direction.
At the same time, Fan Wanming and five thousand soldiers of his White Tiger Division also charged toward the Jin Army's main force from the right direction.
Stationed at the front, Sun Heng didn't notice the two small teams charging toward the center of his main force at high speed from left and right directions.
Watching Zhan Qi and his vanguard team easily break through the Jin Army's first cavalry team, Sun Heng clenched his horse reins tightly.
A few minutes later, Zhan Qi and his team had already clashed with the ten thousand infantry soldiers of the Jin Army.
Witnessing the massacre in front of him, one of the vice generals couldn't sit still any longer.
Turning to look at Sun Heng, he clasped his fists and said with a hint of agitation in his voice, "General Sun, please let this subordinate lead ten thousand soldiers to stop the enemies!"
Looking at the battlefield before him, Sun Heng had no choice but to nod.
Getting his permission, the vice general's eyes lit up. Drawing his sword from its sheath, he raised it high and commanded, "Brothers, follow me to kill the enemies! Charge!"
The moment he surged forward with ten thousand infantry soldiers following closely, the sounds of the Jin Army's war drums quickened.
Dum! Dum! Dum! Dum!
In the middle of the battle, Zhan Qi noticed the change in the Jin Army's war drums.
'Looks like they fell into our trap.' He thought while killing another batch of the Jin Army's soldiers.
Sneering, Zhan Qi's eyes flickered with a cold, murderous aura. The next second, he commanded, "Break their formation! Charge!"
Hearing his command, the vanguard team of the Feng Army shouted in unison, "Charge!"
In less than three minutes, Zhan Qi's team clashed with the infantry soldiers of the Jin Army.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Covered with his enemies' blood, Zhan Qi's silver armor was already dyed red. When the vice general entered the battlefield, his heart trembled the moment he saw Zhan Qi from a distance.
Realizing that terror had gripped his heart the instant he saw Zhan Qi's blood-soaked figure, the vice general gritted his teeth and tightened his fingers on his sword hilt.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, the vice general shouted at the top of his lungs as he charged toward Zhan Qi, "Kill!"
Seeing him approaching at high speed, Zhan Qi's eyes glinted coldly. Circulating his internal energy, he activated his lightness skill and lightly kicked the saddle.
Tap!
In the next second, Zhan Qi rushed toward the vice general, aiming the tip of his spear at the man's throat.
Whoosh~!
Sensing the immense pressure radiating from Zhan Qi's spear, the vice general's complexion paled slightly. Without waiting for the spear to pierce through his throat, he too activated his lightness skill.
The next moment, the two of them met in the air. The instant the tip of Zhan Qi's spear collided with the vice general's sword, their internal energies clashed and exploded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
