Chapter 333 See You in the Next Life
"Does anyone recognize this formation? Do you have a good strategy to break it?"
As soon as Ji Wuge spoke, Xing Qitian stared at the formation below for a long while before asking his strategist and deputy general in a deep voice. Princess Xing Fuhua, who was standing to the side, also had an indescribable heaviness on her beautiful face.
After Koki Ten finished speaking, everyone's expressions turned somber. They stared down at the scene below for a long time without saying a word.
Having never seen such a formation before, how could they possibly have a good strategy to break it?
"Father, looking at the formation, it seems there's an opening in each of the eight directions, and the main formation should be in the middle. It seems like it doesn't really matter which direction we attack from. As long as we break through one corner, the two sides will fill in. If we're unlucky, we might even be surrounded and swallowed up."
Xing Fuhua said with some concern.
As soon as he said this, everyone nodded in agreement; they had all noticed this point.
"This is the wonder of the Nine Dragons Universe Formation. It traps you first and then devours you in one bite. Such a powerful formation is probably only conceived by a handful of people across the entire Fengyun Continent. This Ge Su is no ordinary person!"
Xingqi Tian stared down for a while before replying, "I only heard about this formation by chance before. My teacher used to highly recommend it. I really don't know how this Ge Su could..."
"My lord, how about this? I will lead 20,000 troops out first to try and create an opening. Then you can observe their reaction from the city wall and perhaps discover some flaws."
After a moment of contemplation, Ji Wuge suddenly gripped his swift sword and spoke.
After thinking for a moment, Xingqi Tian raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Don't be reckless. This formation is very complicated. Don't touch it lightly. How about this, send an elite force out to get close to them, and then use crossbows to shoot into their formation and see how they react."
"My lord, this humble general is willing to lead the crossbowmen to fight our way out!"
As soon as Yukichi Ten finished speaking, a burly general stepped forward beside him.
"Yes, General Wu, lead the three battalions of crossbowmen out at full speed, cutting out from the left in a semi-circular formation. At the closest point, fire arrows into the center of their formation as quickly as possible. Be fast, don't get too close to them, and leave immediately after firing. See how they react. Go!"
Kosaki Ten explained.
"Yes! Your lord!"
The general responded and turned to walk down the city wall. A moment later, the sound of the city gate opening could be heard below, followed by the thunderous roar of hooves. In the instant the drizzle was flying, General Wu had already led three thousand crossbowmen out of the city and charged towards the army of Ge Su ahead.
As General Wu led his troops out, the rousing drumbeats suddenly rose, and the shouts of the soldiers blended together, deafening and shaking heaven and earth.
"Sir, look!"
General Wu had just led his troops along the route instructed by Xing Qitian to approach the formation set up by Ge Su's army when, as they drew near, archers hidden within the formation suddenly appeared. Before they could even shiver, thousands upon thousands of arrows were already raining down on General Wu and the three thousand Dayong soldiers at close range.
"Quickly retreat! Tell them to retreat immediately!"
Koki Ten's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected that there were archers lurking in the center of the formation!
so amazing!
However, it was too late. General Wu's men panicked and tried to retreat, but Ge Su's formation had already begun to move forward. The cold arrows came down like a huge net, so fast that the soldiers of Dayong had no time to react.
"Sir, it's terrible! They're trapped!"
Ji Wuge exclaimed in surprise, a look of tension appearing on his handsome face, "This humble general will lead the army to break through and rescue them!"
"It's no use, look at the troops on both sides!"
Xing Fuhua pointed to the troops surrounding them from both sides—Ge Su had lost patience and was about to attack the city!
Yukichi Ten took a deep breath, closed his eyes and looked at the gray sky, his face very gloomy—could it really be that the heavens are going to destroy Hangu Pass?
"My lord, we have no choice but to fight to the death! Their siege equipment has already been advanced. We have no other option but to fight to the death!"
"My lord, give the order! Fight to the death!"
Almost everyone was prepared to die on the battlefield, gripping their weapons tightly and waiting for Yukiaki Ten's order.
Yukichi Ten sighed, a resolute glint in his eyes. He turned to his men and commanded, “Beat the drums! Defend Hangu Pass to the death!”
"We will defend Hangu City to the death, my lord! We are not afraid to die!"
With a shout, the crowd rushed down from the city wall. In the blink of an eye, the drums began to beat, and the long-awaited battle finally broke out in full force. The gates of Hangu Pass were opened wide, and the generals of Dayong, led by Ji Wuge and others, bravely charged out, their thunderous hooves shaking the heavens and the earth.
The soldiers disregarded formations and charged forward like a raging flood, fighting a final, desperate battle like roaring lions. In a short while, the two sides clashed, tiger and yellow flags intertwined, and screams and shouts of battle pierced the vast sky and echoed through the heavens.
A fierce, cool wind swept across the walls of Hangu Pass, emitting a mournful wail. Amidst screams and shouts, countless flashes of sword light appeared, leaving trails of magnificent crimson. In the flashes of sword light, countless figures fell. The surviving soldiers frantically brandished their swords and charged forward, the thick stench of blood rising into the sky.
The situation was obvious, even worse than expected. General Wu, who was trapped in the enemy lines, had been slain by an enemy general. As his head rolled down, the Liao army erupted in cheers, followed by the sound of attack horns and the rousing beat of drums!
The Liao army, like a ferocious beast charging wildly, finally pounced on the city walls, their hooves thundering and shouts of battle echoing as they surged unstoppably towards Hangu Pass, engulfing it completely.
"Kill!"
"Scream! Charge into Hangu City!"
"Long live! Long live!"
The Liao army roared slogans, their morale was extremely high, and their offensive was very fierce!
"Father, we...we're afraid..."
Xing Fuhua looked down at Ji Wuge and the others who were surrounded. Her beautiful face turned pale, and she stared in horror at Xing Qitian, who also looked ashen-faced. In less than half an hour, their Dayong army had clearly lost ground. If this continued, Hangu Pass would surely be doomed!
"Get ready, Painting!"
Without further hesitation, Yukichi Tenya gripped the swift sword at his waist, abruptly turned, and walked down from the city wall.
Watching Xing Qitian's figure quickly disappear below the city gate, Xing Fuhua couldn't help but feel a sour pain in her chest. Looking up at the gray sky in front of her, a dimness appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"I'm afraid we'll only meet again in the next life, Sikong Jin!"
She sighed sadly and smiled bitterly, "But even so, I still hope to meet you in the next life. I haven't become your wife yet, and I certainly won't let it go like this!"
Having said that, he no longer lingered and resolutely rushed down from the city wall.
