Chapter 1181: War Begins

Tangtang was still upset.An Xuetang shrugged, "It doesn't matter. After all, I have a poor relationship with my family. They are like strangers to me, and I don't care."She thought to herself that s...After a while, I could see the vast army of the Chi kingdom from afar.

Everyone's hearts instantly tightened, Mo Yunjing's pitch-black and profound eyes swept across the crowd before he turned and walked downwards.

Moments later, Mo Yunjing stood at the city gate astride his steed, Da Hong. Behind him stood hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Fear lingered in their hearts; after all, when one experiences too many defeats and witnesses the deaths of comrades firsthand, it’s impossible for the mind to remain unscathed.

But as they watched from afar, Mo Yun Jing's straight back and the aura emanating from him, they didn't know why, but the fear in their hearts instantly dissipated a lot.

Yunliu and Yishi stood on either side of Mo Yunjing.

The Chi army was getting closer, Mo Yunjing narrowed his eyes slightly, then reached out.

Yun Liu took the general's flag from a soldier beside him and handed it to Mo Yun Jing.

Only seeing Mo Yunjing raise his arm and wave the flag, his arms were strong, his sleeves fluttering, and his aura was imposing. The banner fluttered in the wind in his hand, and Yunliu also took flight at the moment he waved the flag, standing on horseback and issuing a battle order to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers behind him:

As soon as these awe-inspiring words were spoken, the morale of the hundred thousand soldiers soared, and they all spontaneously cried out:

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The horns blared, the drums pounded, and the soldiers roared with excitement. The Red Army, not far away, was no stranger to fighting the soldiers of Youlan City. They had clashed many times before, but never had they seen such ferocity in these soldiers. It left them bewildered.

But the general of Chiguo spoke up promptly, telling everyone that this was just a psychological tactic by the enemy army, deliberately putting on a show of force. They were still as incompetent as ever. As long as they charged with all their might, these people from Youlan City would be driven out and flee in disarray.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Chi army regained their high spirits. Each soldier shouted, "Charge!"

A deafening roar grew closer, accompanied by the pounding of hooves. Hundreds of thousands of infantry marched relentlessly, their footsteps shaking the very ground beneath them.

Looking up, one could clearly see the bright banners of the Chi State fluttering in the sky, their gleaming armor reflecting dazzling light. Their swords and spears pointed towards the heavens, emitting a chilling gleam. The hooves of their horses pounded heavily on the ground, surging forward with unstoppable momentum. Dust billowed like waves, engulfing everything in its path, striking fear into the hearts of all who witnessed it.

The sudden surge in morale among the Chi soldiers immediately demoralized the defenders of Youlan City. Yunliu quickly realized this.

He couldn't help but curse them in his heart. This group of people had stayed under Zhou Yuan for too long, their cowardly nature had become ingrained. Once this kind of personality took root, it was indeed not something that could be changed overnight.

Yunliu and Eleven looked at each other, then Eleven leaped onto her horse's back, raised the sword in her hand, and shouted.

"Listen up, all soldiers! On the battlefield, anyone who abandons their post before the general retreats will be executed. Anyone who disregards the general's order and retreats before him will have the rear ranks execute the front ranks...Anyone who dares to disobey military orders will be killed without mercy!"

The way forward might be a dead end, but retreating meant certain death. This time, no matter how terrified they were, there was no going back.

Unable to do anything else, everyone instantly felt a surge of energy, like they'd been injected with chicken blood. Under Yun Liu's command to attack with all their might and not retreat, they pointed their blades towards the sky and roared once more:

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Both sides were evenly matched in spirit. Mo Yunjing took the lead and shot an arrow, using his inner strength. Even from a distance, his arrow brought down the enemy's flag.

For a moment, the soldiers of Youlan City seemed to have gained newfound confidence, each one more eager than ever before.

With the roar of charging soldiers and a constant barrage of arrows whistling past their ears, each side launched relentless attacks against the other.

Both sides' soldiers clashed swords and blades, screams erupted, blood and flesh flew everywhere. Arrows rained down, piercing armor and uniforms, splattering blood in the air. Soldiers' heads rolled on the ground, and the undying spirits seemed to roar in the thick gloom.

A pair of blood-red eyes glinted with hatred on ferocious faces. The air was thick with the stench of blood, the sky choked with smoke, and corpses littered the ground, rivers of blood staining the earth red.

The Chi army suffered heavy losses. Because they had repeatedly repelled the armies from Youlan City before, they were somewhat overconfident this time.

...but I didn't expect that the Youlan City army would become so valiant this time, catching them completely off guard.

What's even worse is that the commander of Youlan City remains a mystery. His martial arts are so powerful that he not only shot down their flags with a single arrow but also killed so many of their generals in such a short amount of time.

Now they were even catching up to the general leading their forces this time. Seeing the situation, the Red Nation army panicked completely. Their morale was low, and what completely shattered their ranks was seeing the head of their general chopped off by the commander of Youlan City. Their spirits crumbled, one by one, confused and helpless, becoming utterly vulnerable.

No one knows who shouted the retreat, but they suddenly panicked and fled back in a hurry.

At that moment, the few people who had been lurking behind the Red Army forces for a long time immediately lit the explosives and threw them on their retreat route.

Immediately, a towering inferno erupted accompanied by deafening roars and the agonizing screams of soldiers.

In a mere instant, the heavily armored soldiers of the Chi nation fell to the bloodsoaked ground. Their soaked and bloody armor clung to their mangled flesh, while some of the dying crawled with agonizing effort through shattered limbs. On faces stained crimson, desperation mingled with flickering hope in their eyes, as they gasped for breath with weak moans.

The rebels didn't use much explosives, so most of the Red Nation army was still able to desperately fight their way back.

In a short while, the Chi army had retreated, leaving behind only those soldiers who were severely wounded and on the brink of death.

Having repulsed the enemy forces, the victorious army of Youlan City quickly erupted in cheers of joy.

Mo Yunjing's deep eyes stared at the direction where the Chi Guo army had left. He glanced at the shocking scene on the ground, his hand holding the sword tightened slightly, and the tip of the sword was still dripping with blood.

At this time, Yunliu and Eleven rode their horses over, the excitement in their eyes impossible to hide.

Yunliu exclaimed with excitement, "My lord, I never expected the explosive concocted by the Lady Consort to be so powerful! Judging from its effects, a single package could injure thousands of people. Those at the center would be instantly obliterated. This... this is simply unimaginable! My lord, from this moment on, I finally understand why there's a saying 'Whoever gains the Lady Consort, gains the world.' It's not just a rumor at all. With such a weapon in her possession, wouldn't it be easy for her to take over the entire world My lord..."

"Sixth Brother, shut your mouth!"f him, there was no escape.In the end, he could only clear his throat and carefully look at Yun Dao, "Big brother, should we... maybe withdraw first"Yun Yi gave him a withering look. "I don't trust yo...
