Chapter 161: War

Outside Beilin Pass, a dull horn sounded through the sky.

The army of Tuoluo Kingdom could not bear it anymore and blew the horn of attack.

They were short of clothes and the longer they delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.

The commander of Tuoluo Kingdom this time was named Yili Ahan, a famous general of Tuoluo Kingdom.

When he came, he signed a military order with King Beiting and vowed to take Beilin Pass.

But he didn't expect that his plan was seen through and Liang Jingwu didn't take the bait at all.

He endured for three days and couldn't bear it anymore.

He believed that the soldiers of Tuoluo Kingdom were not their opponents in the plain battle.

On the hill, Liang Jingwu leaned on his sword and slowly stood up.

"Can't you bear it anymore?"

While speaking, he frowned slightly. He wanted to buy Ning Chen a few more days, but he didn't expect that Tuoluo Kingdom couldn't bear it after only three days.

Ning Chen left early. Calculating the time, it has been four or five days... This battle should be fought.

"Pass my order, prepare for battle."

"Crossbow Battalion, Shield Battalion, get ready!"

The messenger shuttled quickly to convey Liang Jingwu's order.

In the distance, behind the hills and gullies, a large army pressed forward.

Liang Jingwu watched quietly, his expression calm.

When the army of Tuo Luo entered the attack range, Liang Jingwu gave an order: "Shoot!"

The soldiers of the Crossbow Battalion immediately stepped forward, bent their bows and put arrows on them.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

The rain of arrows, like locusts, covered the sky and shot at the soldiers of Tuo Luo.

The shield soldiers of Tuo Luo immediately raised their shields.

Even so, the rain of arrows could not be blocked by shield soldiers alone.

For a while, shrill screams resounded through the sky.

After the archers of Daxuan shot a round, the armor soldiers immediately took over.

Sure enough, the rain of arrows from Tuo Luo flew over with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

The sound of metal clashing was endless, and the sharp swords hit the shields, sparks flew everywhere.

After enduring a round of arrow rain, Daxuan's archers fought back again.

In this round, no one got the upper hand.

Although the Tuola people were good at shooting, their equipment was not good.

Tuola was short of supplies, and the shields they used were made of a kind of rattan, called rattan shields.

Daxuan's rattan shields were wrapped with a layer of iron... This was not heavy and had strong defense.

The two sides fought back and forth.

After several rounds of arrow rain, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

In this era, fighting was a life-and-death struggle.

In the rain of arrows, any arrow could take a life.

The arrows of Tuola were all shot.

Yili Ahan ordered the cavalry to charge.

The earth trembled, and thousands of troops rushed like a torrent.

Liang Jingwu ordered: "Crossbow carts, get on!"

The soldiers of the crossbow camp and the shield camp quickly retreated, revealing the crossbow carts behind them.

"Fire!"

As Liang Jingwu gave the order, a terrifying sound of breaking through the air sounded.

The arrows fired by the crossbow carts were like spears.

For a moment, the cavalrymen of Tuoluo who were rushing in the front were thrown to the ground, and screams were heard.

The huge crossbow arrows can easily penetrate the body of the warhorse, let alone the people.

One after another, the warhorses were shot over, and the cavalry on them had no time to get up, and they were trampled into meat paste by the horses behind, and the blood stained the ground red.

The cavalry of Tuoluo charged frantically.

In terms of weapons, they are far inferior to Daxuan.

So, only close combat can have hope of winning.

The people of Tuoluo are generally tall and strong, much stronger than the soldiers of Daxuan.

It often takes two Daxuan soldiers to fight desperately to kill a Tuoluo soldier.

The crossbow carts continuously fired spear-like crossbows, harvesting the lives of the enemies.

Soon, the crossbows brought were almost all shot out.

Liang Jingwu pulled out the big knife inserted beside him, turned on his horse, and shouted: "The war drums sounded!!!"

"My dear Daxuan, follow me to meet the enemy and kill all the enemy bandits."

The cavalry rushed in front, and the infantry followed closely.

The armies of both sides collided with each other like a torrent.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and the bloody wind and rain were bloody.

The broken limbs and arms flew across the ground, and the blood dyed the ground red, and fresh lives fell one after another.

War is cruel. If you want to survive, in addition to luck, it depends on who is more ruthless?

Liang Jingwu, one man and one horse, rushed crazily with one knife.

A strong man with a height of nearly two meters, holding a mace, casually swung it and smashed the heads of several Daxuan soldiers into rotten watermelons.

He is the famous general of Tuoluo State, Yili Ahan.

Yili Ahan felt something and turned his head to look.

Liang Jingwu stared at the other party, swung his sword, and knocked down several Tuo Luo soldiers who rushed up to the ground, then rushed over on horseback.

Yili Ahan grinned, waving his mace, and rushed towards Liang Jingwu.

The sword in Liang Jingwu's hand brought a cold light to the other party's neck.

Yili Ahan swung the mace and collided with Liang Jingwu's sword.

Clang! ! !

The metal clanging sound was deafening, and sparks flew everywhere.

The terrifying force generated by the collision was unbearable for the two horses under them, and they staggered back.

......

Ning Chen was still marching quickly.

Because it was now confirmed that the Tuo Luo army had gone to Beilin Pass, they didn't have to be as cautious as before.

Ning Chen led his men and ran all the way to the Beidu Royal Court along the traces left by the Tuo Luo soldiers.

It was not until dark that Ning Chen ordered a rest.

After a few hours, they marched quickly again.

In fact, the soldiers were exhausted, although they did not understand the mission of this trip.

But they were all elite soldiers selected by General Chen... and the commander Ning Chen was accompanying them through hardships, so no one complained.

When they stopped to rest again, Ning Chen saw a soldier chewing a piece of hard dried meat, grabbing a handful of snow and stuffing it into his mouth, and then digging the snow to eat grass roots.

Ning Chen couldn't help laughing.

These soldiers are now following suit.

"Are you married?"

The soldier who was digging grass roots quickly stood up and shouted: "Report to the general, no!"

Ning Chen smiled, "Do you want to get married?"

"Yes!"

"Then why not?"

"I am saving money, and I will get married and have children when I save enough money."

Ning Chen patted his shoulder and said: "When we go back this time, I promise that you can get married and have children."

The soldier grinned and was excited.

Ning Chen looked at the others and said: "Do you know what we are going to do?"

The soldiers shook their heads.

Ning Chen said word by word: "We are here to launch a surprise attack on the Beidu Royal Court."

For a moment, all the soldiers were dumbfounded, their faces full of disbelief.

Ning Chen continued: "The Beidu Royal Court's army went to Beilin Pass. Now the Beidu Royal Court has at most 6,000 or 7,000 soldiers."

"This is a godsend opportunity. We must kill our way through the Beidu Royal Court and capture the Zuo Ting King alive."

"If we succeed, we will be promoted to high positions and receive generous salaries... Let alone marrying and having children, we can even afford a big house in the capital."

The soldiers were gradually infected by Ning Chen's words, and their eyes became hot.

"Since the founding of Daxuan, no one has ever been able to attack the Beidu Royal Court... If we can kill through the Beidu Royal Court and capture King Zuoting alive, we will go down in history, and a strong and colorful mark will be left in the history of Daxuan."

"We will all be heroes of Daxuan, respected and admired... Your family, children, relatives and friends will be proud of you."

"Now, I just ask one question, are you willing to take this risk with me?"

The soldiers, with excited expressions and burning eyes, shouted in unison: "We are willing to follow the general until death!"
