C563 Great war ii

But it was too late, the commander's order could be heard clearly, "The sabre and axe masters are in position, chop off the horse's legs!"

In the darkness, the shining axe blade was raised high in the air as they charged from the nearest boat. As soon as they saw a horse, they were cut down. Horses panicked and fled in all directions, stamping on the ground in the crowd.

The long white arrow shouted, "Long spear soldiers in position, quick, don't let the enemy land!" The blade and axe hands did not matter, the number of people was not many, if they did not get into the mood, they would eventually get wiped out by them. As long as they could defend against the main forces on the river surface, they still had hope of winning this battle.

What resounded this time was a real scream. Right behind him, the frightened warhorse was still running with all its might. He couldn't bear it any longer. He swung his sword and stabbed at the horse, causing the scene to quiet down.

Before he could regain his wits, a swishing sound came from the sky above his ears. It was the enemy archers. They had begun their attack.

"Shield Formation!" It was Guan Xiong who gave the order.

The sounds of frantic and noisy footsteps rang out as the Shield formed into a formation and moved forward, blocking out everyone behind them.

After the rain of arrows passed, everyone could hear the sound of orderly and hurried footsteps coming from the river. Teams of people, as if coming out of the dark, quickly jumped onto the shore with long spears and swords in their hands. They would kill anyone they saw and hack at the horses …

Earlier, when he heard the sound of the iron chains, he knew that this battle was not a good one. Morong Gan did not bring his army here using boats, because the speed was too slow, if they were unable to continue, they would just be sending themselves to their deaths, so he used iron chains to connect the ships together, forming a bridge. This way, his main force would be able to attack from the bottom of the bridge in one go.

At the same time, countless of oil arrows were shot out, one by one the tents were lit on fire, the blazing flames rising, reflecting the tragic battles in the surroundings.

Bai Changjian finally sensed the smell of blood in the air. Standing in the shadows, he saw countless warriors falling and wailing in the air. Corpses covered the ground and blood flowed into rivers, as if they were living in purgatory.

The great battle that he had been looking forward to for a long time finally started, but it was not as he had imagined. He had lost in this battle, and the moment the Prince Chu's army attacked, they had already declared his defeat.

Snow suddenly began to fall from the sky, fluttering about in the sky. It looked so peaceful and beautiful, but it landed on the battlefield and quietly covered the bodies of the dead soldiers, as if the heavens were deliberately trying to cover up this human tragedy.

Bai Changjian's face was pale white, his heart aching so much that it felt numb. Although he had not been in the Iron Cavalry Battalion for long and the generals did not like him, the people below respected him. Every time he rode his horse around, there would always be a thunderous shout from the training grounds: "Warlord! Warlord! "

It was from the bottom of their hearts, and he remembered the way he had been riding his horse, as if he had been fearless in the middle of it all. Now, they had all fallen down, their miserable cries ringing in his ears, yet he was powerless to do anything.

Through the killing crowd, he saw Morong Gan. Prince Chu was riding on a horse, quietly watching everything, his expression was calm and collected, even his eyebrows relaxed. Looking at this tragic scene, it was as though he was looking at the luxuriant-purple garden.

Bai Changjian was surprised. How did he do it, how could he be so indifferent? Was his heart made of stone?

Probably because he had noticed his gaze, Prince Chu looked over. Separated by the sky of flying snow and the light of blade and sword, their gazes met for a short moment, but his eyes still remained calm. However, Bai Changjian's heart was set ablaze by his indifference. A deathbed struggle was also a way out.

He called for his personal guards, "Hurry over to General Wang's place and ask for reinforcements. If you're late, it'll be too late."

The janissary responded, taking advantage of the dark of the night, he mounted his horse and rushed to the outer area, but before he could escape Bai Changjian's line of sight, he was chopped off his horse, and as he fell, he turned his head with all his might, as though he was telling that he had a mission.

Bai Changjian stared at the falling figure, he grinded his teeth and called Guan Xiong over, "I will protect you, bring your men and break out of the encirclement, go call for reinforcements."

Guan Xiong said: "No, I will cover. General, lead the people to break out of the encirclement!"

Bai Changjian was enraged, "At this time, what are you giving way to?"

Guan Xiong said, "None of us can leave, only General, because Prince Chu will not kill you."

Prince Chu said that, on Bai Qianfan's account, she wouldn't kill him.

Bai Changjian hated those words, but he could not care so much right now, he had to call his own guards over, his expression solemn: "Are you guys afraid of death?"

These janissaries had followed him from the north and were very close with him. They replied in unison, "This subordinate is not afraid of death and vows to follow the general to his death."

"Alright, it's time for you to serve your country." Bai Changjian decisively waved his hand, "Get on the horse and break out of the encirclement. Whoever can run out and report this, naturally, there will be a number of high-ranking officials!"

"Yes!" "General!" The janissaries mounted up and followed him to a less populated area. Guan Xiong led his men to kill the enemy on both sides, protecting them as they ran out.

Bai Changjian had chosen the place to break out of the encirclement, it was dark and there were not many people around, as long as they were fast enough, they could run out. He was running at the front, and just as he was about to rush out of the encirclement, the horse suddenly lashed out, throwing him out.

The janissaries behind him immediately stretched out their hands to scoop him up, "General, get on the horses."

Bai Changjian's reaction was fast, he immediately extended his hand to grab the personal guard, and just as he was about to borrow the strength to jump on the horse, he shouted, "Sou!" A long arrow pierced the janissary's chest, and before he could call out to the general, he tumbled to the ground.

Bai Changjian half knelt on the ground, instinctively extending his hand to catch him, and looking towards the direction of the arrow, it was Prince Chu.

Bai Changjian was extremely furious, he released his personal guards, unsheathed his sword and was about to rush towards him, but he was stopped by the other personal guards, "General, if you are too impulsive, you will only die!"

In that short period of time, a large group of enemies surged over, blocking the gap, the chance was fleeting and it was impossible to break out, Bai Changjian tightly shut his eyes, looking again, Prince Chu was still looking at him, neither sad nor happy, his face expressionless.

At the command of the Prince Chu, no one came to kill him. He slowly raised his hand and placed the sword on his neck.

But Prince Chu's movements were even faster than his. An arrow flew over, and with a ding, the long sword fell to the ground.

He stood there dejectedly. The power of the arrow was so strong that even his palm was numb. He looked over with a dull expression.
