Chapter 1983 Shangguan Xiao’s Revenge
"Uoooo!"
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal clashing continued to rise from the soldiers. As more and more soldiers fell, the two generals from Shi Long Kingdom, General Ma and General Wu were facing a difficult decision. "Should we retreat?"
"Can you fight against this?"
They tried their best to fight, but no matter where they went, they would be faced with a new tactic from Shangguan Xiao. Their messy head was even more messy right now as they couldn't think straight and fight back. The battle was slowly turning towards Fei Yang Kingdom's favor. "We can't just give up!" General Ma raised his weapon and charged forward. General Wu watched this and then shook his head. "Stupid! It's better to retreat!"
From the very beginning, the two generals were not at good terms with each other. They were both raised temporarily as generals in this battle against Fei Yang Kingdom and faced Shangguan Xian. After Shangguan Xian retired promptly after his defeat to Heavenly General Sang, Shangguan Xiao took his place. And Shangguan Xiao was holding his grounds against Heavenly General Sang.
Even if the situation from Fei Yang Kingdom's side didn't look favorable at all, Shangguan Xiao was still trying his best to make sure that they could do everything well. Because this was basically the only possible way for them to survive. They couldn't lose any more grounds to Shi Long Kingdom.
Using his familiarity of the land, Shangguan Xiao protected the border quite well. Even if he had to sacrifice his men again and again, he tried his best to keep the losses as minimal as possible. Now, the chance has come. The moment Shangguan Xiao saw the soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom retreated, he set up the ambush point and chased after them with his own soldiers. The soldiers were specifically using the soldiers who used to follow his brother.
Because he knew very well that that these soldiers were still fuming in rage.
They had nowhere to vent their emotions because the battles kept on turning on Shi Long Kingdom's side under Heavenly General Sang's leadership.
"Yes, General Shangguan!"
The soldiers sent the signal to the soldiers who were in the distance away. As General Wu paced his horse through the path, he felt a bit nervous. There were many soldiers behind him and even if General Ma were to lose, there would be still more than enough people to face Fei Yang Kingdom. He just had to make sure that they were willing to listen to him. Swish! Swish! Swish! Jleb!
As he was running, he heard sound of something breaking the air and when General Wu raised his head, he saw an arrow coming in his direction. "Do not...!"
Bang!
The arrow pierced straight to his forehead and General Wu was flung out of his horse as he fell down and then got trampled by his soldiers behind him. *neigh* *neigh*
"What?"
The soldiers raised their head and saw rain of arrows coming in their direction. They felt their heart turned cold as they yelled and tried their best to raise their shield.
"There's an ambush!"
"Ahhhh!"
Swish! Jleb! Jleb! Jleb! Jleb!
...
Shangguan Xiao listened to the report from the soldiers and watched the rest of the soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom retreated in orderly manner. Between the two generals from Shi Long Kingdom, General Ma was clearly more qualified. That General Wu was nothing more than a coward. More than a third quarter of the soldiers under General Wu died today because of the battle and the arrows. They were not able to fight back under Shangguan Xiao's rigorous arrangement and trap. Their situation was extremely miserable and those who survived were fleeing away from the battlefield. "We're retreating now," Shangguan Xiao gave his order. "Yes, General Shangguan!"
