Chapter 815: The Strongest Qin Army!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At dawn, the army split into three groups and set off in the direction of Broken North Pass.
When they reached the fork in the relay station, Leng Zhao and Leng Hua led a 20,000-strong army towards Jade Ice Lake. Wei Ting led a 10,000-strong army towards Mang Mountain. The destination of Qin Canglan and Leng Zhao was the valley of Broken North Pass, which was facing the checkpoint of Northern
Yan.
As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Qin Canglan led the Qin family’s iron cavalry at the front of the team. His mighty aura echoed in the mountains.
The Crimson Shadow Army followed behind the Qin family army in unison.
The former head of the mountain bandits, Zhang Yong, was appointed the Left
Commander of the Crimson Shadow Army, and another Wei family soldier, Chen Tao, who had been a deputy commander under Wei Xu, was appointed the Right Commander.
Qin Canglan had something to explain. The few of them rode over and heard Qin Canglan give instructions about the key points of the battle.
When they left, they inadvertently turned around and noticed a little soldier beside Qin Canglan. His little head swayed, and just looking at the back of his head made him look a little cute.
The little soldier carried a big bow wrapped in cloth.
Li Da opened his mouth. “Could that be… ah!”
Zhang Yong and Chen Tao poked him with the hilts of their knives. Wei Xun could not reach them from behind. He rode his horse a few steps and stood up on the horse’s back, giving him a slap on the back of his head!
Li Da shut up.
Helian Ye’s troops were not forceful. They rested as they walked and preserved a large portion of their combat strength. Therefore, even though they had a perfect deployment plan, everyone had to be 120% vigilant.
The soldiers of the three armies lined up in the valley. Behind the Qin family’s Iron Cavalry was Qin Canglan’s central army tent. It was unknown if Xiao Duye was infected by everyone’s morale or something else, but he actually followed without hesitation.
After confirming the battle plan for the last time, the people of the Divine Bow Camp and the archers of the Crimson Shadow Army set off towards the two mountain peaks.
Su Xiaoxiao went to the main peak on the east, and Chen Tao went to the small mountain on the west. The mountain peak surrounded most of the valley, making it an excellent place to ambush.
As for whether Helian Ye would send troops to occupy this place, Su Xiaoxiao was not worried.
Just as Qin Canglan had said, the archers had a limited time to attack. Helian Ye had already lost the initiative after coming from afar. He would not send a wave of people to their deaths just for this short range of a few hundred steps.
Strictly speaking, the mountaintop was the safest. No wonder Qin Canglan agreed to let her come over.
The leader of the Divine Bow Camp was Zhang Duo.
Zhang Duo instructed everyone to find the best ambush spot. This time, they did not resort to front and back rows. Instead, they interlocked and fired. They fired singly and double-numbered arrows. Every arrow was fired to rest. It required extremely strong arm strength and observation.
There was too little time. In order to exhaust the Northern Yan army to the greatest extent, they had to take away an enemy with every arrow!
The Northern Yan army arrived faster than expected. Just after noon, they advanced towards Broken North Pass.
The first fight was at the Jade Ice Lake battlefield. Tuoba Lie’s 30,000-strong army stepped on the thick ice and charged at the 20,000-strong army of Leng Zhao and Leng Hua.
Leng Hua was the first to rush forward and fight with Tuoba Lie. After dozens of moves, he pretended to be injured by Tuoba Lie. “Father! There are too many of them! Retreat!”
The father and son retreated with the army.
Tuoba Lie chased.
“Close the city gate! Close the city gate!”
Leng Hua shouted.
The city gate would definitely not be closed. Tuoba Lie shot a few arrows in a row. The soldiers fell and fled. The half-closed suspension bridge fell with a bang.
Tuoba Lie raised the sword in his hand. “Soldiers! Charge! Kill all the troops of the Great Zhou! Avenge your previous humiliation!”
The 30,000-strong army rushed into the city with a world-destroying aura of revenge.
On the other side, Helian Ye’s main force also attacked the valley.
Helian Ye had a total of four ferocious generals under him. Other than Tuoba Lie, there were three experts, Gao Yuanshan, Qi Jin, and Zhou Hao. Qi Jin was Qi Sheng’s biological brother.
Qi Sheng died at the hands of the Great Zhou army. Qi Jin wanted to avenge his brother, and the first wave of attacks was launched by him.
Su Xiaoxiao and Zhang Duo stared fixedly at the Northern Yan cavalry charging from the opposite side of the valley, estimating when they would enter the range.
If they shot too quickly, it would waste their arm strength and arrows. If they shot too slowly, it would be a waste of time.
“They’re here!”
Su Xiaoxiao said.
Zhang Duo raised the flag in his hand and waved it three times before swiftly dropping it!
Upon receiving the order, the archers of the two peaks drew their longbows and shot at the Northern Yan cavalry.
The rain of arrows covered the sky and instantly took the lives of the first wave of the Northern Yan army.
“Shield!” Qi Jin shouted.
With the help of the shields, half of the second wave of arrows from the Divine Bow Camp was blocked.
This was not a good sign. They were already halfway through the hundreds of steps. The Great Zhou had also begun to attack.
Zhang Duo made a prompt decision. “Shoot the horses!”
Another wave of arrows came, and another large number of the Northern Yan army fell.
Qi Jin was furious. He looked at Zhang Duo on the mountain peak, suddenly drew the bow behind him, and shot an arrow at Zhang Duo. Zhang Duo was shot and almost fell off the mountain.
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed him and pulled him back.
She took over the commander’s position. “Fire!”
When everyone heard her voice, their hearts trembled! Chen Tao, who was on the opposite mountain, was excited.
“Boss!”
“Boss!”
“You’ve finally shown yourself! ”
Qi Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and drew his bow again, aiming at Su Xiaoxiao on the mountaintop.
Facing the valiant general of Northern Yan, Su Xiaoxiao was not afraid at all.
She looked at Qi Jin coldly and drew the golden bow in her hand.
The two of them shot an arrow at each other with boundless killing intent!
As the two arrows collided in midair, Qi Jin felt a little regretful.
In the next second, there was a bang. Su Xiaoxiao’s arrow forcefully split open Qi Jin’s arrow and flew towards Qi Jin with a murderous aura!
Qi Jin’s pupils constricted. He did not expect the little girl’s archery to be so powerful.
Clang!
His helmet was shot off.
He looked at Su Xiaoxiao in disbelief.
She stood under the sky and at the top of the mountains. She was supposed to be as small as a millet, but she emitted endless battle intent. The archers’ morale was even higher than before.
Su Xiaoxiao drew her golden bow.
An arrow sent Qi Jin’s deputy general flying!
The Great Zhou army charged over. Ten steps, five steps, one step!
The shooting was over!
Qi Jin heaved a sigh of relief.
However, before he could heave a sigh of relief, Su Xiaoxiao shot two arrows in a row and took away two more of his deputy generals!
Qi Jin was furious. He picked up his spear and was about to shoot at Su Xiaoxiao.
Tong Ke flew over and kicked his spear off the horse!
Tong Ke held his spear and looked at Qi Jin coldly. “You have a death wish for touching Miss! ”
The Qin family’s army could not fight for the emperor or the Imperial Court, but they would protect Eldest Miss to the death and the rivers and mountains that Eldest Miss wanted to protect!
