However, the air sacs had also become an obstacle for the 30,000 Red Flame Army. In front of the imperial troops who were familiar with water, the Red Flame Army, which had been brought out of the flood by the air sacs, became lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Lin Xie, who had rushed over from Merlin Hill, immediately made up his mind when he saw this situation. He raised the sword in his hand and shouted,"
" Those who are familiar with the water, take off your armor and jump into the water to kill the remaining rebels. The rest of you, use your bows and arrows to kill the rebels who climb ashore."
After saying that, he led the way and jumped into the water. The 'water battle' lasted for a day and a night. The 200,000 imperial troops were all wiped out, but no one found Xuan Bu and Chai Ming.
Including the 100,000 Red Flame Army soldiers who joined later, 30,000 of them had died. Major Lin Shu was in a coma, and the general of the Red Flame Vanguard Battalion, Nie Feng, was slightly injured. In the end, the Red Flame Army won the battle, but they also suffered a heavy loss.
Nie Feng asked Doctor Chen worriedly. Lin Shu's injuries this time were far more serious than the last time. Other than the dozens of wounds caused by the Black Cloth, she was also hit on the back by the flood. Nie Feng would be lying if he said that he wasn't worried. At this time, Lin Xie, who had comforted the soldiers, also walked over and looked at Lin Shu, who was paralyzed on the ground, with a gloomy face.
" The situation isn't optimistic. The cold has already entered the young marshal's body. Fortunately, there's a strange neixi protecting the young marshal's heart. With some rest, he'll definitely return to normal."
Inner Breath?
Lin Xie stretched out his hand to check Lin Shu's pulse. The neixi in Lin Shu's body was sword qi, and it was a kind of sword qi that he had never seen before.
Nie said,"Lin Shuai, don't be so rude."
" Xiaoshu is fine. What's on her heart meridian isn't neixi, but sword qi. Only His Highness White King can accurately protect Xiaoshu's heart meridian with such dense sword qi."
Lin Xie's words made the people of Chi Yan heave a sigh of relief. If Lin Shu had not risked his life to attract the attention of the imperial army, it was uncertain whether the water attack would have succeeded.
At this moment, Nie Zhen walked to Lin Xie's side with a worried expression. He held the list of herbs he had recorded and said,"
" Commander, we need to return to the tent as soon as possible. Many soldiers have already fallen sick from the cold of the water, and our herbs are not enough for the 70,000 soldiers."
Lin Xie took the list of medicines. He didn't know why, but ever since the end of the war, he felt uneasy.
Nie Feng, do you still have enough stamina?"
Nie replied,"Lin Shuai, I've been using internal energy to maintain my body in the water, so I'm quite energetic now."
Lin Xie nodded and took out a golden-red token from his pocket and handed it to Nie Feng. "Lead 3000 soldiers with this token to Ji City to obtain herbs. Go and return quickly…"
Yes! Nie Feng took the token and left the Merlin Cliff with the 3000 uninjured soldiers.
"Lin Shuai, the scouts at the back have reported that there are close to 100,000 elite soldiers approaching us. From the flags, they are reinforcements from Daliang."
Lin Xie heaved a sigh of relief. Since they were reinforcements from the Daliang Empire, he did not need to worry too much. He hoped that they would bring enough supplies.
On the other side, Nie Feng, who was leading the 3,000 Scarlet Flame Cavalry, also saw Xie Yu and Xia Jiang's 100,000 elite soldiers.
"General, it seems like Empress Xie is leading the army. Should we go up and greet them?"
Nie said," It's good to go up and say hello. At the same time, ask how many herbs there are. If there are enough herbs, we'll go to Ji City and bring back more military rations."
From afar, Xie Yu and Xia Jiang saw Nie Feng and the others rushing over. Xie Yu and Xia Jiang exchanged glances.
" First Hall Master, why are there only a few thousand people in the Red Flame Army? Did they fail at the border?"
Xia Jiang shook his head and denied," If the Red Flame Troop falls, they will definitely fight to the death. There will be no deserters. They should be going to the rear to get supplies. We'll act according to the situation. Archers, light up the rockets and hang on the kerosene. Wait for my order."
10,000 archers were ready at the rear. Xie Yu ordered the flag soldiers to wave their flagpoles, signaling Nie Feng and the others to stop within the shooting range of the archers.
The kerosene hanging on the bow and arrow would affect the range, but it was the most suitable method for sneak attacks.
" That's the vanguard general of the Red Flame Army, General Nie Feng."
Hearing Xie Yu's call, Nie Feng waved his hand to signal for everyone to stop. He felt that something was wrong, but he could not say why.
"I'm Nie Feng. Your Excellency is Marquis Xie."
" I am General Nie. Why are there only a few thousand of you left in the Red Flame Army? Did the Red Flame Army fall?"
"Marquis Xie, you're wrong. Our Red Flame Army is a victorious army. How could we lose? We've already wiped out 200,000 imperial troops."
Hearing Xie Yu ask if the Red Flame Troop had been defeated, Nie Feng, who had just come out from the battlefield, couldn't help but get angry.
Xie Yu looked at Xia Jiang in shock, only to see the other party say with slight admiration,
" As expected of the Hundred Victory Legion. If it wasn't for Chi Yan blocking my path, I wouldn't have let them die. I'll go ask them about their casualties."
Xie Yu nodded and continued shouting in Nie Feng's direction.
" How are your casualties?"
Nie: " Reporting to General, we have 30,000 casualties. We have just finished the battle, and we are lacking in herbs. I wonder if General has brought enough herbs with you. We are going to prepare some supplies."
After hearing Nie Feng's words, Xia Jiang's eyes suddenly turned cold. He waved his hand to signal the archers behind him to release their arrows. Ten thousand fire arrows fell from the sky in an orderly manner. Nie Feng's pupils widened as he instantly drew his sword behind him.
"Not good! Xie Yu had turned traitor and was preparing to fight!...”。
However, no one replied. Nie Feng turned around and saw thousands of Red Flame Troops being shot by fire arrows. Because of the kerosene, thousands of soldiers were crying in pain in the sea of fire.
"No! Xie Yu, you old man, you deserve to die."
Xia Jiang took a bow from a soldier and aimed it at Nie Feng. He pulled the bowstring and slowly poured his internal strength into the bow. A light flashed, and Nie Feng, who was already exhausted, shot the bow with a huge impact force out of the cliff. The kerosene on it instantly ignited and covered Nie Feng's body. In less than half a minute, 30,000 Red Flame Army soldiers were wiped out.
Xie Yu looked at the valley where Nie Feng fell and did not move for a long time. Xia Jiang threw away his bow and said in a cold voice,
" Let's go. While the Red Flame Troop is at its weakest, we'll end the battle as soon as possible. Then, you'll be able to rise to the top."
Report!
The scout from behind quickly ran in front of Lin Xie and said with a slightly anxious expression,
" General, there's black smoke behind us. I'm afraid there's military intelligence."
Lin Xie frowned. This was not good news. There were 100,000 reinforcements coming to support Chi Yan. Who would fight them?
" Not good, I'm afraid it's Xuan Bu's backup plan. Everyone, quickly move forward and leave 1,000 people to take care of the injured. The rest of you, follow me to the rear of the battlefield."
Nie Zhen wasn't as impulsive as Lin Xie. There was something fishy about this matter, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. For now, he could only follow the army and take one step at a time.
"This is…"
The surrounding soldiers of the Red Flame Army heard Lin Shu's soft voice and immediately surrounded her happily.
" Major, you're awake. That's great. Everyone can rest assured now."
Lin Shu slowly stood up and looked at the grinning soldier in front of him."
The Red Flame soldier named Li Gang supported Lin Shu and said,""Young Marshal, Lin Shuai saw black smoke rising from the rear and was afraid that there was a battle, so he led the remaining soldiers who could fight to investigate."
Hearing this, Lin Shu rubbed her head and suddenly thought of the dream she had just had.
"No! Li Gang, gather dozens of people and follow me to my father's place. Hurry…"
"Young Marshal, what's wrong with you…"
Shu: " I don't know. I just had a dream. In the dream, our Red Flame Army was annihilated by our soldiers. Although it was a dream, it was very similar to the scene now."
When Li Gang heard Lin Shu's words, he immediately gathered dozens of soldiers and rode fast horses to the Red Flame Army. In ancient times, dreams were the only bridge for everyone to communicate with immortals. Even those who did not believe in gods and devils believed in the scenes in dreams, let alone what was about to happen.
By the time Lin Xie and the Red Flame Troop arrived, Xie Yu had already ordered people to clean up the battlefield, leaving no traces behind. Nie Zhen narrowed his eyes and suddenly grabbed Lin Xie.""Not good, Marshal! It's a trap. Retreat quickly..."
Lin Xie had always trusted Nie Zhen's intuition. This intuition had helped the Red Flame Army avoid many disasters.
"Retreat! Retreat immediately."
However, the 70,000 Red Flame Troop had already entered the range of the 100,000 elite troops. The high-intensity battle had exhausted the Red Flame Troop, and they no longer had the ability to react.
Tens of thousands of fire arrows fell from the sky, one after another. Lin Xie didn't even have time to organize his defense. The Red Flame Army soldiers around him fell one after another. Even Nie Zhen, the military officer, was shot by an arrow and fell into the sea of fire.
"Damn it! Father…"
Lin Shu, who saw this scene from afar, kicked the flatterer hard. Li Gang and the others also pulled out the swords on their waists and prepared to fight. Less than half of the 70,000 Red Flame Army soldiers were shot by the continuous rockets.
"Xie Yu! Xia Jiang! Come and die! Arrow Breaking Form!
Lin Shu jumped up from the horse, and the sword shadows that filled the sky instantly destroyed the waves of arrows. Xie Yu couldn't help but take a step back when she saw Lin Shu's bravery.
"First Paragon, this Lin Shu."
Xia said," Don't worry. Take a good look at the redness on Lin Shu's body. He's already heavily injured. He won't be able to last long with such a powerful sword move. Let the archers continue shooting."
Xia Jiang's guess was right. Lin Shu had been seriously injured during the battle with Xuan Bu during the day. Coupled with the lack of Internal Breath, the Nine Beyond the Swords, which consumed a lot of energy, could not last long.
Lin Shu forcefully overdrafted her internal energy to leave internal injuries on her body. Looking back, other than Lin Xie's personal guards, only a few of the Red Flame soldiers could stand up.
Lin Shu spat out a mouthful of blood and fell from the sky. Without the protection of the sword shadow, the fire arrow fell from the sky again.
Seeing that Lin Shu was about to be hit by the arrow, Lin Xie rushed to Lin Shu's side to protect her regardless of his injuries. The next moment, he was pierced by the arrow.
" I'm sorry, Xiao Shu. You must live on for the Red Flame Army."
As he spoke, Lin Xie used the last bit of internal strength in his dantian to throw Lin Shu out of the cliff and into the lake.
"Xie Yu! Xia Jiang. You will die a horrible death!
Jinling Imperial City-
Boom!
King Bai was the hero of the entire Daliang Empire. No matter what the Emperor of Liang thought of King Bai, he would not allow anything to happen to King Bai when his reputation was at its peak. Otherwise, the citizens of Daliang would be disappointed.
When something happened in the imperial city of Jinling, the patrol unit rushed to the White King Mansion immediately. At this time, the outer walls of the White King Mansion were shattered, and the servants and maids swarmed out of the main gate of the White King Mansion.
"Stop the servants and maids who escaped. The rest of you, follow me into the residence to save His Highness White King. Let's go…"
There's no need to go through so much trouble."
" Your Highness White King, are you injured? Who dared to assassinate Your Highness White King?"
"I just made a breakthrough. I'll leave this to you. Help me get someone to repair the White King Mansion…Forget it, it doesn't matter if I repair it or not."
Without waiting for General Ling's reaction, Xiao Jingbai soared into the air. Without any method of borrowing strength, he flew towards the Imperial Palace. Some people with deep internal strength could vaguely see a transparent giant sword under Xiao Jingbai's feet.
Xiao Jingbai flew all the way to the front hall of the Imperial Palace. As soon as he landed, the Imperial Army led by Meng Zhi surrounded him. His pale long hair covered half of his face, and for a moment, Meng Zhi was unable to recognize his identity.
"Big Brother Meng, it's me."
"Father is here…"
Xiao Jingbai did not answer Meng Zhi's words. Instead, he directly asked for the location of Emperor Liang. He still held a trace of hope. There was no hope for Emperor Liang to order the annihilation of the Red Flame Army.
"Uh, His Majesty is currently in the Purple Luo Palace. Your Highness White King…Xiao Shu, he…"
" I know. I'll ask my father about it. I hope it's not the answer I'm afraid of. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself…"
Xiao Jingbai once again soared into the sky. The Purple Sieve Palace was not far from the main hall, so it only took him a moment to land outside the Purple Sieve Palace. A group of masked and black-armored personal guards immediately surrounded Xiao Jingbai.
"Presumptuous! Your Highness White King, do you recognize him? All of you, leave."
Gao Zhan scolded coldly and hurriedly ran to Xiao Jingbai's side, deeply afraid that Xiao Jingbai had suffered some injuries.
Your Highness White King, are you injured? Let this servant take a look."
Xiao Jingbai glanced at Gao Zhan indifferently. If he didn't guess wrong, Gao Zhan was stalling for time. Now, the person that Emperor Liang didn't want to see the most was probably him.
There were three people in Daliang who appeared to be very intelligent. One was the younger brother of Emperor Liang, Prince Ji. The other was King Jing, Xiao Jingyan's mother, Consort Jing. The last was Eunuch Gao, who had been by Emperor Liang's side for decades.
"Eunuch Gao, help me call Imperial Father. There's no need to worry about me waking up this time. There's no one in the world who can defeat me."
