C523 Slaughter
The snow is getting heavier.
In Anhe, the Moon Abyss was covered in a white light.
The snow seemed to be able to wipe away all traces of the battle. No matter how intense the battle was, after a snowfall, everything that was supposed to be covered was covered up, and everything that was supposed to disappear was gone.
The war in Fringe City didn't stop because of the defeat this time, and it continued. However, they didn't think of so many schemes, but killed people with real weapons.
They filled the battlefield with corpses to witness the war of pillage.
Without a doubt, Yue Niansheng was determined to take down Anhe. The number of people who died was increasing. He didn't care. As long as he still had a breath left in him, he would take over Anhe.
The casualties in Anhe were also very heavy. Although most of the corpses were from Yue Yuan, Yue Yuan had reinforcements. As for the casualties in Anhe, one less died.
"No! If this continues, we will have to rely on human lives to fill up the entire Anhe!"
Mu Haiyang stood on the city wall and looked at the soldiers fighting outside the city with a complicated look in her eyes.
She didn't want to see so many people die, not to mention those soldiers didn't want this war, but for Yue Niansheng's desire, they were sacrificing themselves one by one.
At this moment, Mu Haiyang saw Shen Qingyan, who was sitting in a sedan chair outside the city gate, giving orders. This time, it completely ignited her anger.
Under Shen Qingyan's command, the Yue Yuan soldiers arranged the formation in an orderly manner. All the troops that were surrounded by them were killed one by one.
Mu Haiyang was shocked and shouted, "Retreat, retreat! Drum the drum, quick!"
The sound of the drum had changed. Lyi Xuanzhi and Yee Lingsu heard the sound of the drum and immediately came out of the military camp. They flew up to the city wall to check it out.
Their faces also changed slightly in disbelief and anger.
Under Mu Haiyang's command, most of the soldiers had already retreated.
A small portion of them were killed in the formation.
"Tai Chi Eight Trigrams Formation!"
Mu Haiyang stared at his array and did not even dare to blink. She knew that the other party used the array and also knew how to break it, but it was very difficult to find that breakthrough point.
This array, everyone knew how to use it, but there were people who used it well, and there were people who were trapped in their own trap.
Mu Haiyang muttered, "There is no breakthrough point!"
In the time it took to make a cup of tea, a loud laugh came from the formation. Although on this noisy battlefield, the sound did not sound very loud, it undoubtedly gave Mu Haiyang a clever one.
"There is, there is a breakthrough point! It is Shen Qingyan! If he dies, the formation will be broken by itself!" E glared at him fiercely and said.
"You guys cover me, I will go and kill him!"
"No! Let This King go. You guys listen to Haiyang's commands. This King will enter the formation and kill him! " Lyi Xuanzhi looked at Mu Haiyang sharply. He did not want her to take any risks.
Just as the two were arguing, Lianfeng opened his mouth and said, "Lord, Princess, let me go! He does not know the background of this subordinate. He will definitely look down on this subordinate. Only then will you have the chance to kill him!"
Originally, no one wanted to take the risk, but Lianfeng actually volunteered. In the end, seeing that their formation was approaching, Lianfeng couldn't think about it anymore. He led a group of people and rushed into the formation.
Once Lianfeng entered the formation, he knew that it was like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. He couldn't escape even if he wanted to. The only way was to kill a few more soldiers. That would be enough to recover his losses!
Lyi Xuanzhi also led a group of men and rushed out of the city after less than half a cup of tea had passed since he left the city.
Lianfeng's combat strength was already extraordinary. With Lyi Xuanzhi's help, their formation began to become chaotic.
Shen Qingyan knew that things were not good. He withdrew the formation and wanted to withdraw, but Lianfeng and Lyi Xuanzhi would not let him escape.
After catching up with his footsteps, Shen Qingyan's lips curled up into a sinister smile.
When they had chased him for a thousand feet, Lyi Xuanzhi felt that something was wrong and shouted, "Lianfeng, retreat back to Border City, don't chase!"
How could Lianfeng let go of such a good opportunity? He raised his spear and chased after him, but he was trapped by Shen Qingyan's formation.
At this moment, more than a dozen people were fighting in the formation.
Lyi Xuanzhi saw that Lianfeng was trapped, so he could only chase after him. Mu Haiyang could only be anxious on the city wall. She reminded them that if they retreated, they must not chase after them.
A man with a silver spear on Lianfeng's shoulder hooked him off the horse's back. He wanted to fight with all his might, but he killed one person, but he could not kill a hundred people.
"Kill without mercy!" Shen Qingyan said with a smile.
Lyi Xuanzhi rode his horse over. He put an arrow in his hand and shot it, but it only hit the shield of the people around him.
After another dozen rounds, Lianfeng was seriously injured. He only had the long spear in his hand. He did not even have the strength to raise his hand to fight.
Lyi Xuanzhi roared, "Lianfeng!"
"Your Royal Highness! This subordinate cannot kill the enemy with you!" Lianfeng muttered to him.
"Kill!" Shen Qingyan ordered.
"No!" Lyi Xuanzhi hated himself for not being able to grow a pair of wings and fly into the array.
It was too late to say, but it was too soon. A silver arrow pierced through the air. It shot toward Shen Qingyan, and not even he had noticed where it had come from.
However, the arrow still missed and only hit his right shoulder.
"Get on the horse!" Lingsu dashed in and grabbed Lianfeng. He rushed out of the array.
"Return to the city!"
Of the two teams, only one team returned. Fortunately, they were still alive. As long as they were alive, everything was fine.
"Shen Qingyan, you forced me to do this!" Mu Haiyang stood on the city wall and fiercely looked in the direction where he left.
"Master, Princess, this subordinate... is at my disposal!" Lianfeng said weakly as he knelt on the ground.
"This time, I will teach you a lesson. I will make Shen Qingyan pay the price." Mu Haiyang did not look at Lianfeng. She felt that if she did not blame him... It would not be fair to those soldiers who died, but she would put all the blame on Shen Qingyan.
"These days, no matter how Shen Qingyan provokes, do not leave the city to fight. I need to go into seclusion now!" After Mu Haiyang said that, she returned to the military tent and instructed them not to disturb anyone.
It was the same for seven or eight days in a row.
Even Lyi Xuanzhi rarely saw her. He could only secretly ask people to open the military tent and take a look at her. When he gave her food, he could see her once. She would not see anyone else for the rest of the time.
"What should we do if this continues? Lingsu, go and persuade her. There are always victories and defeats in war..."
Lingsu said, "Even you can't do anything about it, what else can I do? Ci is stubborn, no one can persuade her. "
"Sigh... No one knew how Jiazhi was doing. There had been no news from him. If he fails, this battle will be meaningless."
"You should trust him. He can take charge now. In fact, he's much better than you being the emperor. You may look fierce, but you are not as decisive as Jiazhi. " Lingsu stood by the side and looked at the falling snow.
"That's right. I don't want to see slaughter. Ten years ago, and ten years later, it will be the same. If I have seen too much slaughter, I will become afraid."
At this moment, Lyi Xuanzhi seemed to have aged a lot, and he also recalled many things. The things that happened when he fought side by side with Lu Che and killed countless people. All of these flashed across his mind, and it was for the sake of power. The matter of his uncle killing his father had terrified him.
