Fragrance From Another World - C361
The golden sunlight shone down onto the land, making the high city of the Sampin look unreachable under the sunlight. Standing on the thirty meter high wall, Si Ruo felt a bit of unease in his heart, not a single scout that he had sent out had returned, and yesterday, the three thousand man army that had gone to chase down dozens of Jianghu experts had actually failed to return. There was absolutely no reason for this, and the person that had returned could not give a single reason either. It was simply a series of lies!
If it were not for the servants, he would not have left a single one of them alive! The name of a hero from Phoenixcloud had already spread throughout the army, and now, a godlike figure had appeared? He did not believe that the gods would come to help the Phoenixcloud! With his fame, the deities should be on his side!
Suddenly, smoke and dust rose from all sides, two teams were engaged in an intense battle, one side was obviously their own group, the other side was the overwhelming black shadow, the yellow armor was not numerous, and after fighting for a while retreating, they finally broke out of the encirclement, relying on their fast horses, they rushed towards the edge of the city, the majority of the black armor were infantrymen, following closely behind, but the speed of the infantrymen and the cavalry were very different, when the cavalry reached the edge of the city, there was still one or two miles between them.
The cavalry officers below shouted: “General Si Ruo! Quick, open the city gate! The Phoenixcloud army is coming! ”
Si Ruo called out: “Who are you waiting for?”
The four generals spoke in unison: “We are the westward square’s defenders, the westward square has fallen into our old hands, I am Ruo Jun, and these three are Kraft, Chenghan and Ma Chun. I think the general knows them!”
Si Ruo nodded his head, “This general knows all four of you. Open the gates!” The three generals behind Ruo Jun had pale expressions. It seemed that their panic hadn’t subsided yet.
The city gates opened, and more than five thousand people rushed in.
Si Ruo stood at the top of the city wall and asked: “When did Phoenixcloud have such a powerful army that could break through westward square?”
Ma Chun suddenly ran a few steps forward and shouted, “General, be careful! They are all disguised as the troops of the Phoenixcloud, quickly close the city… ” With a chi sound, an iron arrow pierced his throat. With the sound of countless arrows, the Yun Zeguo soldiers at the side of the city gate and on top of the city gates fell one after another!
Si Ruo knew the whole story and shouted loudly, “Close the city gates, capture all of these Thief s in one fell swoop!”
He had wanted to wait for the most advantageous position before suddenly taking action. Who knew that Ma Chun would suddenly reveal their identities, and looking at the situation now, their plan might not only fail, but their five thousand men might also be like wolves in the face of a tiger. If the city gate was not breached in a short period of time, then their five thousand men against the fifteen thousand men would not be able to gain the upper hand. Perhaps they were just using this opportunity to get rid of him and bring all five thousand of them into the city, catching them within a jar!
But he was not afraid. They had one advantage: enemy breaking crossbow! With their strength, if they wanted to kill them all, they would have to pay at least two or three times the price! Furthermore, Ren Yong’s three thousand elite soldiers were also close combat experts. If they wanted to kill all of them, they would have to pay even more with their lives!
Of course, these thoughts only flashed through his mind, the soldier and wulin master’s instincts were all reacting, the crossbow in his hand shot out, this time was not like yesterday, the crossbow in his hands was limited, the enemies were many, so he had to be accurate! The speed of their arrows started to slow down, but their power was equally strong, and in an instant, over a thousand people had died under their crossbows. Ren Yong’s side had also charged into the group of enemies, and started to crazily fight, this battle was extremely chaotic, the two sides were both dressed in yellow armor, and after they came into contact with each other, it became chaotic once again. Si Ruo’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, this kind of weapon caused him to feel terrified, and he had never seen something like this before.
Si Ruo shouted loudly, “Attention all warriors, the enemy’s left arm is wrapped in white…” Suddenly, an arrow flew over, Si Ruo was proficient in martial arts, waving his sword, slashing it out, causing the iron arrow to fly for a few meters, then stabbing into the city wall, leaving behind only a nod, and a few arrows that flew over. Si Ruo dodged anxiously and hid behind the battlements, releasing miserable shrieks beside him, countless of guards died under the arrows!
When he finally had a chance to warn his men, there were less than a thousand of his five or six thousand men left on the city walls. Fortunately, his team was rushing over from the distance, and there were also soldiers coming from the north.
Long Feiyu was already at the edge of the city, Qian Yuntian was sweating profusely: “There are sounds of fighting coming from inside, they have already been exposed, we have to rush through the city gate, if not, the two groups of soldiers will not be able to save us!”
Long Feiyu said: “Yes!” In the blink of an eye, dozens of arrows had already hit his body. Although he was moving very fast but the arrows were everywhere but were not aimed at him. As long as he went over there, he would hit the arrows!
Long Feiyu shouted as he struck out with his palms. With a loud boom, the iron gate was broken into dozens of pieces, and flew backwards for more than thirty meters, the moment this huge force appeared, the entire city started to shake. The hundreds of people behind the city gates were smashed by the huge force and flying iron pieces, sending their blood and flesh flying, a vacuum appearing behind the city gates.
Very quickly, the archers at the top of the city wall seemed to have been hit by an invisible hand, as they stopped shooting and slowly fell down. After a loud explosion, Si Ruo felt that the city wall was not stable, and with the protection of a few tens of soldiers, he quickly left, not waiting for him to understand what had happened, the archers beside him had all fallen, and a tall figure was standing at the bottom of the city gate, releasing earth-shaking sounds of killing. Countless of people entered the city gates, and the sounds of killing could be heard!
Si Ruo’s face was ashen, he already understood the outcome of this battle, but he did not understand how his opponent had done it! Only now did he believe what those generals said yesterday.
Long Feiyu’s figure flashed, and in the air, he crossed a distance of a few dozen meters and landed beside Si Ruo. Stretching his hands out, dozens of guards all fell down the thirty meter high city wall, and just as Si Ruo raised his blade, a human figure pierced through the wind and pointed a finger at his forehead. The long knife landed, and Si Ruo, one of the three generals, died! When he died, he couldn’t even use a single move. Long Feiyu stood at the top of the city, walking back and forth. No matter where he went, he would suddenly appear on the other side of the city, as if there was no distance between him and the wind, and there were a few hundred women surrounding the city below him, they were helping him, but not just helping him, there was also a woman killing the enemy. There was a woman hiding in a corner of the city, holding a black cylinder in her hand, releasing a few loud sounds.
Long Feiyuwei shook his head slightly, “Come!” Hugging her, he leapt up and headed straight for the city wall! There were no more enemies here. Only here would she be safe!
Long Feiyu was still running away. The soldiers under his command often fell to the ground as soon as they could not even see his shadow, the sounds of killing growing fainter and fainter. Finally, Long Feiyu did not have to run anymore. I killed several! ”
Long Feiyuwei laughed: “Little sister, you’ve gotten your revenge!”
Yao’er knelt on the city wall and kowtowed three times towards the southeast, saying: “Father, Mother, brothers, and brothers! I have avenged all of you! I killed the five of them with my own hands! Even if I die, it’s worth it! ”
Finally, all the captains and warriors were gathered around him. Long Feiyu asked in a deep voice, “How are the casualties in our army?” This was the problem that he was most concerned about. Qian Yuntian bowed and said: “Reporting to the Great General! Twenty-four thousand eight hundred and twenty-seven people of the enemy have died, and our army has lost a thousand and three hundred people, including over two hundred warriors of Wu Lin! ”
Long Feiyu looked up at the sky, “What a heavy price! 1300 people! It’s another 1300 + heroes again! ”
The generals looked at each other, such a great war, only over a thousand dead, yet they have already taken down a strong city and wiped out almost 25,000 enemies. This kind of glorious result is something anyone would be satisfied with, but the Great General is not!
Long Feiyu slowly said: “I made a mistake in this battle! If the city gates had opened a moment earlier, then the number of soldiers would have been reduced by a few hundred! ”
Zhao Tiantian bowed and said: “Let’s not talk about using weapons like gods, martial arts are extraordinary and sacred. If not for Great General breaking the city gate with a single palm, end and the rest would be enemies’ food, a turtle in a jar!” Who would have thought that those generals were just faking their defeat in order to lure us into the city and eliminate us in one fell swoop? Fortunately, they have the Great General Divine Technique, otherwise, these four people’s evil scheme would have succeeded! ”
Long Feiyu said: “This general has already thought of this point, it just happens to be the case! If they did not voluntarily bring you into the city, they would not have been able to deceive Si Ruo so warmly. If Si Ruo could see the flaw in their expressions, his plan would not have succeeded! ” He turned around and looked at Lu Tianfeng, “Brother Tianfeng, you were in too much danger just now.
Lu Tianfeng shook his head: “I knew that the Brother Long would be invulnerable while wearing protective armour, why would Ru Feng suffer these two arrows? Or is the Brother Long’s martial arts high, pouncing out at the same time as the wind, and with no injuries? ”
Long Haikong laughed out loud: You’re wounded, are you not convinced? You have to let me have some injuries before you can be happy? ”
Originally, he thought that he was wearing armor, which was why he was not injured by the arrow. Long Feiyu did not expose him and smiled: “The two brothers are all sincere, I, am extremely grateful!”
With Si Ruo’s death, Yun Zeguo’s invading army had already been reduced by more than half. On the other hand, the Phoenixcloud’s side had only lost a total of less than 1600 people, which was a negligible portion of the army compared to the tens of thousands of people. The two sides’ military strength had changed from 4: 1 to 2: 1. But his strength was far superior, and defeating Yun Zeguo was just around the corner! This was the source of their morale!
After resting for a bit, Long Feiyu called a meeting to interrupt the Elephant Man’s elated discussion, and Long Feiyu said: “Now, let us move on to the next step! This step was not difficult, but he still had to be careful! Brother Feng, are you sure that the news of the breakthrough hasn’t reached westward square and the Time City? ”
Feng Tiannan nodded his head, “This Feng followed Brother Long’s instructions and set up an ambush at least fifteen kilometers away from the westward square and its assembly. I captured dozens of spies from both places and not a single one of them escaped! The news should not leak out! ”
Long Feiyu nodded, “Alright! The guards in Sampin are all to be changed into the attire of Yun Zeguo the soldier, the army flag at the top of the city wall will not change, in addition, bring the letter from Si Ruo that the scout found on his body and his seal! ”
Feng Tiannan took them out one by one, and asked puzzledly: “What does Brother Long want to do?”
Long Feiyuwei laughed: “I will use Yun Zeguo’s army to write a letter and bring the clan along with them!” He had done the same thing as a famous writer, but this was the first time he had copied a letter from an enemy general. Fortunately, it was not that difficult!
After writing the letter and putting it into his chest, Long Feiyu said, “Zhao One day, Ren Yong, and Yun Fei, all of you, listen up!”
The three of them stepped forward and bowed, “Great General, please give your instructions!”
Long Feiyu slowly said: “All of you, get on your mounts and send 2,000 troops. We will combine forces and change into Yun Zeguo’s uniform, then bring Yun Zeguo’s banner and head to westward square!”
The three of them nodded in unison, “As you command!” They already understood that this would be the reproduce of the battle at Sampin!
Long Feiyu said: “Qian Yuntian, listen!”
Qian Yuntian was currently feeling depressed because all three of them had a mission to complete and were unable to complete it on their own. At this moment, he heard Great General shouting and was overjoyed, “Please give me your instructions, Great General!”
Long Feiyu said: “You shall lead a thousand soldiers to go challenge them! They must let the enemy open their gates to meet them head-on! After General Zhao and the other two men rushed in, they would immediately run away!
After some explanation, the elephants all laughed out loud. When the Great General used troops, it was ever-changing and extremely clever, just like a god! He pretended to be a soldier of the westward square in order to swindle open the gates of the Sampin, and now he was using the name of the Sampin’s garrison to rebel against the westward square!
The four of them left immediately. Long Haikong said: “Do you need me to make a move this time?”
Long Feiyu shook his head: “There are only a mere eight thousand people in the westward square, and already three thousand dead. To them, this is just a piece of cake, they don’t even need the Brother Long to come out!
“If there are no surprises, then six hours later when the news reaches us, we can only hope to control the number of casualties to below a hundred!” An old man beside Long Haikong sighed: “It’s hard to predict the outcome of a battle between two armies, yet Dragon-Traversing Hero is actually so concerned about the casualties of soldiers, you are truly worthy of respect from this old one!”
Long Feiyu sighed: “You all don’t know, but these soldiers were all chosen from the tens of thousands of soldiers. All of them were heroes, and all of them died as Phoenixcloud’s losses! Of course, the heroes of the martial arts world are even more so. After this battle, no matter what the outcome is, it will be a painful ending! “
