Chapter 285 - Encountered Patrol Soldiers
Liang Hongyu's army continued to advance for another hour. At that moment, her army had already formed into a long dragon. Some soldiers walked faster, while others walked slower. In her opinion, all of these were normal things. The soldiers rushing through the snow had already been very exhausting for them, it was impossible for them to maintain their formation. She had always felt that Jiao Wentong was lying to her in order to scam her.
"General, we have enemy troops ahead of us!" At this time, a Academy Officer ran over and said.
"Enemy? How many are there? " Liang Hongyu immediately asked.
"There should be around a hundred people!" They should be the patrolling soldiers of the Emperor Xuanwu, who just happened to encounter us. They didn't have enough time to escape, and were already surrounded by us. " Academy Officer said.
"Very good! I'll go take a look. " Liang Hongyu said.
Immediately, Liang Hongyu headed towards the front, where she discovered that there were more than a hundred enemies surrounded by them. The enemy troops were also dressed in the clothes of the Song Army, but they clearly belonged to Zhao Chen's subordinates. In the entire Guan Shan, the battle lines were densely packed, and it was extremely common to encounter patrolling soldiers. Moreover, something big had happened in Southern Mountain. Both armies were gathering here, so it would be more normal for them to encounter the patrolling soldiers.
"Let them surrender." Liang Hongyu said indifferently.
The soldiers below immediately passed down Liang Hongyu's orders, but very quickly, curses could be heard.
"What are they talking about?" Liang Hongyu said.
"General, they say we are traitors, they say we are the subordinates of traitors, and they will never surrender to us." Academy Officer said.
"Since that's the case, I, Liang Hongyu will not be courteous!" Initially, I wanted to spare their lives on account of the fact that they are all Chinese. Since they do not know what's good for them, let's just kill them all! " Liang Hongyu said.
"Yes sir!" Academy Officer immediately nodded.
"Use your arrows to shoot them down!" Liang Hongyu said again.
Academy Officer nodded in agreement once again.
However, just as their troops were about to make a move, the hundred man team immediately reacted.
"Looks like they want to kill us!" They have so many people, but we have so few. We will definitely die! " The leader of the squad, a platoon leader said.
"Leader, what do we do now?" A soldier said.
"Looks like we won't be able to escape death today!" But even if we die, we won't let the traitors suffer! Come with me, we must not die in vain! Before their archers are ready, let's charge! " The platoon leader gritted his teeth.
The platoon leader roared and was the first to rush forward. The hundred men behind him roared in unison as they rushed forward.
There were only a hundred of them, but their auras were exceptionally strong! Every one of them had the determination to die. They only wanted to kill a few more enemies before they died.
The platoon leader was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. At this age, he was already married! His wife was in Middle Han Area, and he had two children with him! When he thought of how he would never be able to see his wife and children again, his eyes became moist!
At this moment, he had already rushed to the front of the enemy, and slashed his blade towards them!
The people on the other side did not expect that they would dare to attack their five-thousand-strong army with just over a hundred men. Under such circumstances, they were not on guard at all.
The soldier opposite him let out a miserable scream. Blood splattered on the platoon leader's body. The platoon leader laughed out loud and moved forward once again.
Behind him, the hundred over people rushed up at the same time. They all roared as they charged into the middle of the enemies.
For a moment, the army under Liang Hongyu was in chaos. Those archers weren't ready yet, and they couldn't shoot either. The enemy had already mixed in with their own people, so if they shot an arrow, they would probably shoot their own people first.
"Kill!"
At that moment, the platoon leader shouted and the rest of the soldiers followed suit.
After a short moment, the 'killing' battle field was completed. Although there were only a hundred people, their auras were ferocious to the extreme.
Each soldier howled as they slashed at their enemy's stomach with the knives in their hands.
Some of his comrades had fallen by the platoon leader's side, but he kept moving forward.
His arm was injured, so he placed the blade on his left hand and continued forward.
Gradually, his comrades became smaller and smaller, and the number of enemies increased. His eyes had turned blood-red.
One of his enemies had already stabbed him in the stomach, but he was still moving forward.
"Leader!" As he was about to die, he heard a warrior beside him let out an angry roar.
In the moment of his death, he forgot everything else. He missed his family, and also had a feeling that he had died without regret.
The eyes of the comrade beside him were moist. Right now, this comrade of his was also wounded all over, and soon after, this comrade of his also collapsed onto the ground.
The battle did not last long as more than a hundred people fell to the ground.
Liang Hongyu stood there in a daze, and asked: "How many casualties did our army suffer?"
Academy Officer's face was pale as he said: "Our casualties exceeds three hundred! They were in too much of a hurry to charge, so we weren't prepared in the slightest, which was why there were a lot of casualties! "
Liang Hongyu said, "How can this be? Our numbers are countless times more than theirs, why are there so many casualties? I almost thought that I was seeing things, and I almost thought that the other party was women's army! Looks like we have met some of the strongest warriors under the Emperor Xuanwu! "
Jiao Wentong walked over and said, "General Liang, even now, you still don't believe me? All the soldiers under Emperor Xuanwu were the same! In front of your eyes, there are only over a hundred people. Because you guys are much more numerous than them, even if they are brave to the extreme and none of them are afraid of death, you can still defeat them! However, if you meet ten thousand of these soldiers, none of you are afraid of death. No matter how many you have, you will not be their match! That's what we used to say when women are truly undefeatable! From what I know, the reason you guys were able to repel Jin Army back then was mainly because you guys were leaning against the Yangtze River, while Nvzhen was not familiar with the environment in Jiangnan, so they had no choice but to retreat! There is still a huge gap between you and Nvzhen, and there is also a huge gap between you and Emperor Xuanwu's subordinates! "
Liang Hongyu's eyes were filled with confusion, and said: "How could they be this strong?"
Jiao Wentong said, "General Liang, let's return quickly! They have ten thousand soldiers at Qin Shi Huang's treasure trove, but your five thousand soldiers are not their match! "
Liang Hongyu said: "But we can't give the treasure to the Emperor Xuanwu either!"
Lin Lingsu also added, "This time, so many fellow cultivators have died at the hands of the Emperor Xuanwu, and even the Shaolin Temple's abbot has died at the hands of the Emperor Xuanwu. This Emperor Xuanwu is already the greatest evil person in the world, we must take revenge."
Jiao Wentong shook his head, and said: "Then go, I won't go!"
Liang Hongyu frowned and said: "General Jiao, can you bring the allied forces here to help us destroy the Emperor Xuanwu's subordinates and obtain the Qinhuang treasure?"
Jiao Wentong said: "If our allied army can come, so can the army under the Emperor Xuanwu! Are we going to fight the Emperor Xuanwu now? Emperor Jianyan has already made all the preparations? Can we defeat the armies under the Emperor Xuanwu? "
Liang Hongyu was stunned and shook her head.
Jiao Wentong said: "We should go back first and think of a way later!"
Liang Hongyu said: "But, if Emperor Xuanwu were to obtain the treasure of the Qin Emperor, then there is a way for the Qin Emperor to rule over the entire world. By then, wouldn't the entire world belong to him?"
Jiao Wentong had a mocking smile on his face as he said: "Just a share of the treasure can grant you the world, what a shame that you all could think of such a thing! The Emperor Xuanwu's power is already above us, if not for them, we would have been defeated long ago! What method of Qin Shihuang governing the world, what use was that? If it was really useful, the Qin Dynasty would not have died! "Let's go!"
After a short while, the army finally began to return. They thought that they were the strongest army among the Han people, but after encountering Zhao Chen's underlings, they realized how big the gap there was between them! They had been training for three days. They felt that they had been working so hard everyday, but why was it that they were still unable to defeat the enemy? They could not figure out the reasoning behind this.
The sky had already brightened up, Zhao Chen, Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Qin Yuzhen and the rest once again arrived in front of the treasure trove.
Yue Fei's face was pale white, after an entire night of resting, his body still had not recovered.
"Big Brother Yue, are you alright?" Zhao Chen said.
"You'll recover in a few more days. It's all right!" Your Majesty, although I've been severely injured this time, I can vaguely see another existence of the martial dao realm! In time, I might actually be able to enter that realm. " Yue Fei said.
"This is great!" Zhao Chen was overjoyed.
Originally, he felt very guilty for Yue Fei's injuries. Yue Fei was injured because he wanted to save him. Now that he heard Yue Fei's words, the guilt in his heart was slightly relieved.
"When will the Imperial Jade Seal arrive?" Zhang Xian said.
"It should be soon." Zhao Chen said.
Waiting until the afternoon of the same day, Curved End led another ten thousand troops and brought the Imperial Jade Seal over.
Immediately, everyone carried the Imperial Jade Seal and entered the cave once more. They arrived at the hall at the end of the cave and saw the giant door once again.
"I can finally find out what's inside." Zhao Chen laughed.
At this time, Curved End had already arrived in front of the mechanism and placed the Imperial Jade Seal on it.
The Curved End then gently twisted and the door slowly opened.
