Chapter 161 Shooting
Chapter 161 Shooting
To the south of Beiling, dust was flying.
The White Bear Country's scimitar cavalry was like a dark cloud approaching, with an imposing presence.
Under the resounding iron hooves, every member of the Beiling Army could feel the earth shaking.
Accompanied and assisted by Bing San, Su Chengnan climbed to the roof of the Beiling Drum Tower. About three miles away, the silver-gray armor shone brightly, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding white snow.
War horses neighed and spears stood like a forest.
The battle flags fluttered in the wind.
The enemy general sat high on his horse and kept looking over here, while his vanguard marched to the front of the army, his words full of contempt and ridicule.
"You are useless Dayong weak horses."
"Surrender quickly!"
"If you surrender obediently, our Iron-Blooded General might even spare your lives and surrender your weapons!"
"If you don't cooperate, don't blame us for killing you all, hahahahahaha..."
The man who spoke seemed to have great internal strength. Although he was standing so far away, almost all the Beiling soldiers could hear his voice due to the wind.
Bing San said solemnly, "Miss, the other party is coming with great force, and there are quite a few of them."
"Well, there must be at least seven or eight thousand cavalry here, right?"
"More than that." Bing San shook his head and squinted his eyes. "There must be at least ten thousand here."
Su Chengnan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if an invisible hand was tightly grasping her heart, and she felt that something was wrong!
Da da da da——
Two rapid sounds of horse hooves broke the silence of the battlefield. A steed rushed out from behind like a gust of wind. There were two people, an old man and a young boy, on their backs. The snowflakes splashed by the horses' hooves flew around like broken jade.
It’s Li Shanqi and Lu Chaofeng.
"White Bear Thief!"
"Since you want to die, grandpa will give you this chance!"
Li Shanqi's words were full of disdain and provocation, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the other soldiers.
He clamped his legs tightly around the horse's body, his body almost merging with the warhorse. Then he took the bow and arrow from behind with his backhand, his movements smooth and swift. He pulled the bowstring with both arms, and three sharp arrows shot out like meteors, cutting through the air with a sharp whistling sound.
A hissing sound.
The arrow was like the scythe of the god of death, accurately hitting the White Bear Country general who had just challenged the army.
The man's body shook violently, and then he fell down like a felled tree.
The soldiers of the Beiling Army instantly burst into thunderous applause and cheers, and their morale was greatly boosted.
"So handsome." Su Chengnan said unconsciously, feeling inexplicably more confident, perhaps there was still a chance of winning.
Even if... the Beiling Army has less than 5,000 people.
"Yes, General Li is still as skilled as ever and as heroic as ever." Bingsan echoed excitedly, his eyes flashing with fervent admiration for Li Shanqi.
After the man opposite was shot and fell, bright red blood slowly flowed out from under his body, merging with the white ice and snow, like a blooming poppy flower, immediately forming a shocking picture.
"Today! We swear to defend our country to the death!"
"Beiling is the royal mausoleum of the Great Yong! If you dare to disrespect us, we will chop off your heads!"
"If you don't believe me, humph! His fate will be the fate of all of you!"
Li Shanqi is nearly sixty years old, but his voice is still as loud as a bell!
The other side was very dissatisfied, and many people clamored to avenge their comrades!
"Miss, the two sides are about to go to war."
"Let's go down first."
Bingsan was worried that she would be accidentally injured by the flying arrows, so he wanted to persuade her to leave first.
Su Chengnan shook his head and refused to leave. He stared at the direction of the White Bear cavalry and asked, "Do you think a fire attack would be effective?"
"War horses are afraid of fire, but it's feasible."
"But..." Bingsan hesitated, thinking that there was not enough firewood and arrows at the moment.
Su Chengnan, however, seemed to have a plan in mind. He patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go back! Come back later!"
"Ah? Come again."
"Well, come back first and talk later."
Bingsan jumped from the roof with Su Chengnan, and they both landed steadily in the yard.
"Let's go and find Liuzi and the others."
"Okay." Bing San led her for a few steps before he suddenly stopped and said, "No, let's go this way. Lieutenant General Chen has called them over to help with something."
"Well, do you know where it is?" Su Chengnan asked.
Bingsan coughed lightly, bent his little finger and placed it on his lips, blew a whistle, and the other secret guards immediately jumped down from the roof.
"Miss, Third Brother."
"Lead the way, we are going to find Liuzi and the others."
"Yes, follow me."
The three of them walked through the corridor and quickly headed towards the military camp. The road was deserted, with no one in sight. The roars and sounds of fighting on the battlefield not far away were growing louder, clearly indicating that the battle had already begun.
"Where are the people?" Su Chengnan asked Xiao Ding.
"Deputy General Chen ordered his men to take them to the back mountain. He also sent a message to us, asking us to follow him to the back mountain for shelter. They had made preparations in advance and dug some caves and set traps."
"Well, as long as the people are safe." Su Chengnan felt relieved.
"Then you..." Xiao Ding, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and slowed down, "The Su family is not leaving?"
"My father is the Marquis of Valor, a general! With war imminent, how can we retreat? The Su family is different from the common people. We will never be deserters! We must unite with the Beiling Army and raise our flags in solidarity."
Bingsan and Xiaoding felt their hearts warm and their eyes turned red.
"Yes!"
"The young lady is right!"
"I will definitely follow you! I will protect the Su family at all costs."
……
Those death squads and spies lurking in the Beiling Army who had originally planned to wipe out the enemy tonight have now been forced to go to the battlefield.
They stood at the back of the team, following their captain and listening to orders.
"Boss, what should we do now?"
"What do you mean?"
"Our mission."
The man glared and lowered his voice to scold, "What mission are you still thinking about?! With a powerful enemy at hand, naturally, defending our country is our top priority. If we succeed and Beiling fails, do you think we can survive?"
"Hiss... I'm afraid not."
"Yes!"
"Not everyone in Dayong is a traitor! Since fate has brought us together, that's fate! If those bastards from the White Bear Nation want to invade Dayong, we'll kill them one by one!"
"Yes! The boss is right! We are not weaklings, we have to use all our strength!"
"Correct!"
But then someone asked again.
"What if someone finds a chance to get close to the prince? This..."
"With a powerful enemy at hand, if you keep on imagining nonsense, I'll destroy you first! Have you forgotten how Lu Chaofeng fought against a hundred enemies alone in the capital? A killer like him must be kept alive!"
"Ah...okay."
"understood……"
