Inside Zhenjiang City.
The soldiers and armour are strict, and a strong aura of slaughter pervades the city.
All the soldiers guarding the city are on alert, and all kinds of intelligence monitoring is running at full speed.
Inside the barracks.
Huo Zhenxiao was frowning as he dealt with high-intensity military affairs.
Suddenly, a scout rushed in.
“Report! Urgent military intelligence, an allied army of 500,000 hundred tribes has appeared in the northwest, 30 miles away!”
Boom!
Huo Zhenxiao slapped the table in a rare moment of indignation, sweeping away his previous calmness and composure, glaring at the scout like a furious tiger.
“What the hell are you guys doing, repeatedly, are all those people dead?”
The scout shivered in fear and hurriedly reported back, “The same as the army that Chief Bai Wu was holding off, we monitored a red cloud covering the army, and the cloud gradually dispersed at a distance of 30 miles before we detected it!”
What?!
Huo Zhenxiao sat waxing on the spot.
He froze for a second.
After regaining his senses.
He waved his hand and ordered, “Send more soldiers to stall it, and do not let it get close to Zhenjiang City!”
“As ordered!”
The scout froze for a moment, the military order was obviously somewhat flawed, but it was the natural duty of a soldier to obey.
Just as the scout was about to walk out of the barracks.
“Stand still!”
Huo Zhenxiao suddenly raised his sword eyebrows, a sharp aura bursting out of his eyes.
“Impossible! The Hundred Clans United Army has no shortage of Rongwu and can ma*sively deploy its troop wheels to attack Zhenjiang City, but the Hidden World in this world has not yet been full of dogs, Qi Jin powerhouses are already rare, and the Hidden World is even rarer of the rare.”
“The temptation of the Heavenly Wolf martial arts body is no longer great, to be able to absorb a group of hidden worlds to the Xiongnu, it is not so ma*sive that it can actually allocate a team of hidden worlds to one army.”
Two quick words were spat out.
Huo Zhenxiao smiled: “This small team of hidden people, should be on the move, moving at high speed, combined to conceal the movements of the army, and then released when they reached a distance of thirty miles and were detected by us, everything is deliberately so.”
“They …… weren’t even trying to come to attack the city!”
What?!
The scout was horrified and turned back to look at Huo Zhenxiao in horror.
“Military orders terminate, how many troops are still inside Zhenjiang City today?”
Huo Zhenxiao calmed down and asked with a clear mind.
The scout thought for a moment and reported back, “Less than 50,000.”
“Good, then use these 50,000 men to defend the city. If that army of 500,000 wants to come to Zhenjiang City, let them come.
Huo Zhenxiao smiled coldly, a cold glint in his eyes.
“Does the sovereign …… really ignore those allied military rongwu?” The scout was a little hesitant.
This was the first time since the war began that Huo Zhenxiao had overruled his own military orders.
And the way he was behaving now always made people feel a little strange as well.
“We are in a hurry to send our men out to stall them from approaching Zhenjiang City, but is there a possibility that they are deliberately exposing their position at thirty miles to attract us to divide our troops to block them?”
Huo Zhenxiao tapped his right fingertips on the tabletop and said with a clear mind, “They can divide their troops, but our Zhenjiang City only has such a small number of troops, once the troops are extremely empty, the end result will be another allied army coming, Zhenjiang City will be in trouble on all sides and will be broken at the first touch!”
“With less than 50,000 troops in the city, even if a million troops came, Zhenjiang City would still be able to hold for a while!”
Still somewhat confused, the scout clasped his fist and said, “Sovereign, isn’t it too much of a fuss to force a division with an army of half a million men? Chief Bai Wu has only taken 10,000 dead soldiers out to block it too, they should be able to take that into consideration.”
“The more unlikely it is, the more likely it is. 500,000 men are loud and powerful in order to draw people in and darken the situation.”
Huo Zhenxiao leaned back in his chair and rubbed his face, “The mobile Hidden World squad, which has covered its tracks time and time again, was exposed right at a distance of thirty miles from Zhenjiang City, they could have shrunk that distance even closer if they wanted to, but it just so happened that it was no more and no less than exactly thirty miles.”
“This distance, for such a great battle, is indeed close at hand, but there is still a distance after all, even if the army that will attack the city is eventually revealed, even if the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry that is holding back this large army breaks out and wants to return to help, it will still take some time.”
“And this period of time is enough to break the city of Zhenjiang, which is difficult to care for on all sides!”
The analysis was well-written.
Huo Zhenxiao tapped his right hand on the table, “Pa*s the order down, polish your Dragon Riders’ swords and wait for the enemy to attack the city!”
“Yes, sir!”
The scouts no longer hesitated and turned to leave.
Huo Zhenxiao’s complexion, however, changed again and again.
“I hope I’m betting right, but if I am, then Bai Qi is now ……”
He did not finish his sentence, but his face showed grief, and his right hand clenched into a fist.
……
“Kill! Kill for me!”
Bai Qi’s shouts of killing echoed across the battlefield.
The blood seemed to stain everything red.
Slashing and slashing, supporting, was the only thing this army of Great Snow Dragon riders he led did.
The mountain of corpses beneath his feet grew higher and wider, from most of the Hundred Allied Clans and from the Great Snow Dragon Riding Army ……
The streams of blood turned into streams, flowing down the mountain of corpses.
But the killing, still did not stop.
It was as if the Great Snow Dragon Riders on the corpse mountain were a meat grinder, constantly strangling the hundreds of allied troops that were coming up.
Even though they knew they were going to die, they never weakened their strength!
Charge, strangle, charge again, strangle again ……
Even Bai Qi felt the heavy soreness coming from his limbs. He gave up his double swords and held them with both hands instead, the long hours of intense fighting was so intense that even his physical strength was almost at its limit and he was shaking.
The only thing he relied on was his conviction to keep charging with his combat knife in his hand.
One by one, his comrades around him fell, but also, before they fell, they opened their hot weapons in a desperate attempt to pull away a group of allied ronin for their backs.
But the thinner and thinner the numbers, the more difficult the defense!
But …… no one gave up!
All of them gritted their teeth, always with the expression of a wolf, and fought with their last ounce of strength.
They no longer cared how long they had been delayed, but relied entirely on the belief and will of soldiers, and continued to repeat the actions in their hands as if they were mechanical.
In such circumstances, time was of no importance!
The only thing that mattered was to keep fighting!
Bai Qi’s breathing became heavier and heavier, and as commander-in-chief, he took on more.
The soreness and swelling pain from his arms and legs became more and more intense.
He even stumbled a little when he took a step.
The battle sword in his hand also felt a little unmanageable.
The tiger’s mouths on both hands had already been cracked and kept oozing blood.
But he still did not stop.
Still clenching his teeth, he swung his sword and slashed at the barbarians around him.
The only thing he could distinguish was that there were fewer and fewer faces in the domain in front of him, while the faces of the barbarians were growing in number.
Until his vision all began to blur and he could only hear his own breathing.
All around him, people stopped.
The crowds of people layered on top of each other, but Bai Qi still could not see their faces.
Only a voice fell clearly into his ears.
“You’re all alone, what kind of game are you playing with the Great Snow Dragon Riders? Looking at your armour markings you should be a bottom ranking Woodsman, right?”
The sneer pierced his ears.
Clang!
Bai Qi thrust his Dragon Rider’s sword into the ground, holding it with both hands, his back still straight, and smiled untamedly, “I dare not forget my country in my humble position, come and fight!”
