Chapter 804: Complete Victory
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
With Wei Ting’s order, countless arrows covered the sky and shot towards Qi Sheng and the army behind him.
In fact, capturing only two assassins did not require 20,000 troops. Qi Sheng was guarding against them secretly bringing troops, so he brought everyone out to besiege them.
However, Qi Sheng did not expect that there were really only two people from the other party.
The two of them had fished out 20,000 of his men and were completely exposed on the mountain slopes and valleys, becoming live targets for the Divine Bow Camp.
The archers of the Divine Bow Camp did not miss their shots. The Northern Yan army fell in large numbers, and screams of pain rang out.
There were also archers among them who tried to shoot back at the army on the mountain. However, the attacks of the army were too fierce and dense. There were no gaps, and they had almost no room to fight back. Even if one drew his bow, he would not be able to hit the target.
Qi Sheng was so angry that he vomited blood.
He understood that he could not continue like this. Wei Ting’s archers had the advantage of the terrain. Everyone knew that shooting down and shooting up had different ranges.
They were exposed to the range of the enemy archers, but the enemy was outside their range. The disadvantage was too great.
It was not that they could not kill their way up, but the hill was too steep. Before they could fight, they would all be shot to death halfway.
Qi Sheng had no choice but to give the order to retreat.
At the same time, Qi Sheng also stared at Su Xiaoxiao and the other two at the foot of the mountain.
“Capture them!”
An army of 20,000 was more than enough to capture the three of them.
Wei Ting’s army was far away. It was both an advantage and a disadvantage because they could not save the three hostages in time.
The army of the Northern Yan charged towards Su Xiaoxiao and the other two like mad hounds.
Just as they were about to bite, two groups of cavalry suddenly charged out from behind the hill on both sides. Not only were the soldiers wearing armor, but even the warhorses were wearing sharp helmets and cold armor.
The Iron Cavalry held spears in their hands as if they were stepping through the void. They charged towards Qi Sheng’s Northern Yan army with the momentum of mountains and rivers.
The unparalleled combat power of the Iron Cavalry was vividly displayed at this moment.
They pierced through the heads of the Northern Yan army and broke their spines. Their wails reverberated throughout the entire valley.
“General! I’ll escort you out!”
A trusted expert fought his way to Qi Sheng’s side.
Qi Sheng’s sword cut down a Great Zhou cavalryman. However, in the blink of an eye, dozens of cavalrymen rushed forward.
At this moment, he had to admit that the situation was hopeless.
He fled into the forest with his trusted experts.
In order to cover him, his trusted expert was caught up by the cavalry and died under their spears.
Qi Sheng gritted his teeth and continued to escape.
He swore that when he escaped, he would come back one day and behead Wei Ting!
He had only taken a few steps into the forest when he suddenly saw a dark figure standing in front of him, holding a long sword and not moving. He was shocked and almost thought that he had seen a ghost.
“Who are you?”
He asked warily.
The other party did not turn around. The back of his head, which was covered by a black bamboo hat, emitted endless arrogance. “You ordinary people are not worthy of asking for the name of God.”
Qi Sheng muttered, “Is this guy seriously ill?”
Qi Sheng sized up the other party suspiciously. His brain didn’t seem to be working well, so he shouldn’t be difficult to deal with.
He first shot out a few hidden weapons. Using the cover of the hidden weapons,
Yuchi Xiu stomped his foot and soared into the air. He did a backflip and landed steadily on his sword.
He still had his back facing him.
Just as Qi Sheng raised his head to look at him, wanting to see if this fellow was so ugly that he was too ashamed to face anyone, Yuchi Xiu turned in the air and kicked him in the face, sending him flying. He fell heavily onto the snowy ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yuchi Xiu looked at the longsword in his hand and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. “Today, I can finally start a massacre!”
Feel the anger of the number two killer on the Assassin List!
I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time!
“Heaven, Kill, Slash!”
Yuchi Xiu’s qi settled in his dantian, and a powerful move slashed towards Qi Sheng.
“Keep him alive.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s voice suddenly sounded.
Yuchi Xiu’s breathing stagnated, and he stopped his big move halfway through his kill. He staggered and fell deeply into the snow, unable to pick himself up.
What’s going on? Couldn’t they let him be a killer?
As the hunt continued, the screams of the Northern Yan soldiers could be heard.
Su Xiaoxiao came in front of Qi Sheng coldly and looked down at him. She held a nine-section whip with a barb in her hand. “I said that I would whip you back.”
When Su Xiaoxiao came out of the forest, the battle at the foot of the mountain was nearing its end. The Northern Yan army was either dead or fleeing. Wei Ting had given the order to not let a single one of them go. The cavalrymen were chasing them everywhere.
Wei Ting rode his horse over.
He came to Su Xiaoxiao, who was covered in blood.
“Are you hurt?” he asked.
“No, it’s not my blood,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
She glanced at Su MO and Jing Yi. “Are you guys alright?”
Su MO glanced at Jing Yi from the corner of his eye. “He’s a little weak.”
Wei Ting took off his cloak and draped it over her cold armor. His slender fingers tied a ribbon around her.
A cavalryman gave his horse to Su Mo.
Su MO sat down with Jing Yi.
Wei Ting reached out his hand to Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao gave her hand to him and he gently pulled her onto the back of the horse.
Wei Ting held her in his arms and held the reins with both hands. He said softly, “I’ll send you back first. Jia County?”
“Barbican,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Her back was straight. Wei Ting held her waist and let her lean against his chest.
“Why are you here?” Su Xiaoxiao asked, “The news in Wu Town was wrong. I thought you were ambushed.”
“There was indeed an ambush,” Wei Ting said. “Helian Ye guessed that I would come to assassinate him and secretly set up a trap. Little fat peacock, I almost couldn’t come back.”
Su Xiaoxiao was immersed in the joy of his return. Her face darkened when she heard him call her a little fat peacock!
Why did a handsome man have to grow a mouth?!
“What’s going on between Yuchi Xiu and those troops?” Su MO asked. He remembered that Yuchi Xiu had been sent to Qingzhou by Wei Ting.
Su Xiaoxiao was angry. The back of her head was saying, “You’re the fat peacock!”
Wei Ting rubbed her little head in amusement and said to Su MO, “When I set off from the capital to the border, I sent a pigeon to Yuchi Xiu and asked him to bring the 10,000 troops that my grandfather had secretly trained to meet me north. I didn’t pass through the capital, so I came through Tongzhou.”
On the surface, Yuchi Xiu had gone to Qingzhou to give Grandmaster Hui Jue the King of Nanyang’s belongings, but in fact, he had also gone to gather troops. He had been staying in Qingzhou and not returning. Although it was also because of Su Yuniang, he was mostly waiting for Wei Ting’s orders. Su MO paused. “Just now… you weren’t the only one with troops, right?”
Wei Ting said, “You mean the cavalry? It’s the Qin family’s army. When I returned from Wu Town, I immediately went to pick up Yuchi Xiu. Halfway there, I encountered a snow-covered mountain. There, I met the Qin family’s army that was also blocked.”
“Why would they listen to you?”
Su MO had seen the Qin family army before. Unless his granduncle personally gave the order, the Qin family army would not listen to anyone’s orders. Wei Ting said nonchalantly, “Oh, I said I’m their young master-in-law.”
Su MO was speechless.
“You’re so shameless.]’
