Chapter 1400 Death is Not Scary
"puff!!"
Yang Zhi and Yang Zaixing were naturally far more powerful than the Sha brothers.
So after only a few rounds of fighting, Yang Zhi struck Sha Wenjin on the collarbone with his first strike!
The ancestral sword was indeed powerful; with one slash, Sha Wenjin's chest was cut open. However, Sha Wenjin was also a ruthless man. He raised one hand and grabbed Yang Zhi's sword tightly, preventing Yang Zhi from drawing it!
"Oh!"
But Yang Zhi wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. He slapped the saddle hard, leaped into the air, and kicked Sha Wenjin hard in the chest, sending him flying!
Yang Zhi then got back on his horse and regained control of it.
"drink!"
On the other side, Yang Zaixing was even more ferocious. He thrust his spear deep into Sha Wenyin's body, then suddenly lifted his hand and lifted Sha Wenyin up!
Sha Wenyin was also a ruthless person. When he was provoked, he knew he was going to die, so he immediately drew the dagger from his waist and threw it at Yang Zaixing!
Yang Zaixing dodged in time, but Sha Wenyin's throw was too powerful and hit Yang Zaixing's warhorse right in the rump!
"Hissing sound—"
The warhorse he was riding was injured and frightened, and somewhat out of control. Yang Zaixing frowned, then suddenly jumped onto Sha Wenyin's warhorse and took control of it!
"Zai Xing! Is he any good?"
"Uncle! I can do it!"
"Alright! Keep going!"
Yang Zhi wiped the color from his face and led his men back into the enemy ranks!
……
Another battlefield for the cavalry.
"Take this!"
Qin Ming tirelessly swung his spiked club, smashing the heads of the charging Jurchens into a bloody pulp!
Behind him, the soldiers of the Thunderbolt Legion were also fighting fiercely. A little ahead, Hu Yanzhuo's Floating Army was transforming into an iron torrent to fight against the Jin Kingdom's iron cavalry!
"Golden Spear Army! Our turn!"
Xu Ning, wearing a mask, raised his hook-and-sickle spear high, and his Golden Spear Army soldiers also raised their spears high, following Xu Ning as they charged out!
The hook-and-sickle spear is a weapon that can be used in both horse stance and footwork. Under Xu Ning's daily training, the soldiers of the Golden Spear Army are now quite proficient in using the hook-and-sickle spear!
The Golden Spear Legion had both cavalry and infantry. The cavalry used hook-and-sickle spears primarily for thrusting or to hook enemies and knock them off their horses. The infantry, on the other hand, used their hook-and-sickle spears specifically to strike the horses' legs, knocking down the horses first, thus eliminating the threat to the soldiers on horseback!
"Sorry..."
Under the attack of the hook-and-sickle spear army, the Jin cavalry fell in droves!
"Fire arrows!"
The Jin cavalry continued to fire arrows, killing many of the Dayi army's men, especially the eight men: Jin, Yin, Tong, and Tie, who were not the strongest fighters, but were indeed excellent cavalry commanders!
Under their command, the Jin cavalry and the Dayi army clashed fiercely, creating a very intense and deadly battle!
"Infantry charge! Small formations against the enemy! Don't let them charge any further!"
Yuan Lang and Shi Jin also led their men into battle. Although the total number of Dayi troops was greater than that of the Jin Kingdom, the number of cavalry was far less. Most of the time, they had to rely on infantry to fight the Jin cavalry head-on!
Fortunately, the Dayi infantrymen were all brave men. Although the situation was somewhat unfavorable, they showed no fear. They formed small infantry formations of three to five men, suitable for melee combat, and helped each other to fight the enemy together!
Many people were suddenly hit by arrows or knives and fell to the ground while fighting, but no one backed down. Everyone gritted their teeth and persevered!
They all knew they might die, but they weren't afraid! The soldiers of Dayi weren't afraid to die, as long as their deaths were meaningful, that was enough!
Time passed little by little, and before they knew it, the two sides had been fighting for more than two hours, from morning until noon, with more and more people joining the battle!
"The formation is completely messed up, everything is tangled up."
Ren Yuan and the others on the high platform could see clearly that this chaotic battle was even more terrifying than it had been three years ago, and both sides had reasons not to back down, which made the battle even more intense!
"The Jin people are really fierce today..."
Xiao Jiahui looked at the grappling armies with a serious expression. This was only the first day of the battle, and both sides still had large forces that hadn't entered the fray yet!
"Everyone knows this is the most important battle, and no one will back down."
Li Zhu stretched his hands and feet.
"Your Highness, if the battle is still undecided by tonight, I request permission to go and assassinate Wanyan Aguda, and also kill the entire Wanyan family!"
"Strategist, how do you plan to kill them? One by one with a single sword strike?"
"We can also avoid such a strenuous effort. We can send a few teams to raid the camp tonight and find a way to gather the Wanyan family members together. With my martial arts skills, I can bring the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire and Palm Thunder from the Heavenly Craft Academy, light them, and throw them over. That should be enough to kill a whole bunch of them."
Li Zhu thought about it for a moment. Killing one sword at a time would indeed be inefficient. But the Heavenly Crafts Academy had explosives, right? He could bring those things, ignite them, and throw them away. Wouldn't that solve the problem?
"what……"
Xiao Jiasui looked up abruptly; clearly, what Assistant Li had just said made a lot of sense to him.
"Brother Li, I must say, your idea just now was quite interesting."
"Right? I think so too. As long as all those people with the surname Wanyan are dead, the Jurchens will be helpless."
Li Zhu said that assassination techniques can be improved. Before, he only thought of doing it one sword at a time, so it was normal for the prince to disagree. Now that he was using the palm thunder, there shouldn't be any problems, right?
“Brother, I think Brother Li’s idea this time is worth considering.”
Xiao Jiahui looked at Ren Yuan.
"Strategist, the question remains the same: how did you get back?"
Ren Yuan looked at Li Zhu.
“You are a strategist, not an assassin. An assassin’s motto is to go and never return, but you are not one.”
"Your Highness, as I said, we can send several groups of men to raid the camp at night. This will create chaos in the Jin army's camp. After I kill them in the chaos, I can return with the raiding teams."
Li Zhu proposed a method of retreat.
"That... is indeed feasible."
Ren Yuan nodded. If that's the case, it is indeed a good method.
"But it's too early to say that now."
Ren Yuan pointed to the chaotic battlefield ahead, "We'll have to see how far we can go before tonight."
"It's definitely going to be a draw today."
Xiao Jiahui saw it very clearly with his clairvoyance.
There are simply too many enemies. The Jin army has already sent out a third wave of cavalry to charge into the enemy lines. People like Qin Ming, Huyan Zhuo, and Wang Yin are already very skilled in martial arts, but they can only barely maintain the situation.
“Brother Shi Bao, Master Yuan Jue has also led his men up there.”
With the Jin army adding troops, the Dayi army also added troops, and now the whole situation is a tug-of-war, where small-scale battles and victories can no longer affect the overall situation.
Moreover, Ren Yuan also had to deal with one message after another at this moment:
"Report! News has come from the Huichun Army that General Huyan Sheng, General Ma Lin, and General Han Tao have all been seriously injured and are currently receiving treatment at the Huichun Army camp!"
"Report! The Shenji Army's cannons are ready to fire, but given the current situation, General Ling Zhen dares not use them. Please make the decision, Your Highness!"
"Report! Commander Yue's Beiwei Army has suffered heavy losses. Your Highness, should we let them come down to rest first?"
……
This battle has only just begun...
