Chapter 454
Chen Changan immediately led everyone into the ancient city of Jiaohe, and he told Li Wuling very clearly at that time.
The beacon tower was the first battle, and the second battle is here!
On the Xixia side, when they learned the news that the scout unit had suffered heavy losses, everyone was furious.
Zhi Shi personally led 100,000 wolf riders and surrounded the city.
The setting sun was blood-red, and the sandstorms from the northern desert mercilessly lashed the earth as well as the two armies confronting each other on the battlefield.
On one side was the arrow-wielding general of Western Xia, his flag waving wildly in the strong wind.
Makes a rustling sound.
The cavalry under his command were arranged in neat and uniform rows, and each warhorse was like a tamed beast, exuding a cold aura.
The cold armor reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, like a torrent of steel, flashing a terrifying light, as if it was going to devour everything in front of it.
On the other side was the Chu army led by Chen Changan.
They were dressed in worn but neat battle robes, and every wrinkle on them seemed to tell of the hardships they had experienced in the past.
Although their troops were slightly weak and seemed isolated and powerless on this vast battlefield, their momentum remained undiminished and they had no intention of retreating. Each of them was like an unshakable mountain.
General Zhi Shi drove his horse forward a few steps. The dust raised by the horse's hooves flew away in the wind, and there was a hint of sneer on his face.
"Chen Changan, are you okay?"
Holding the arrow, he sat on the warhorse and looked at Chen Changan with amusement.
Chen Changan just chuckled: "Prince Chishi, you really live up to your name, eating shit everywhere. Eating shit in your Xixia is not enough, and you dare to come to our Chu country to eat it?"
"Chen Changan, I don't want to waste time talking to you."
Zhishi shook his head and looked at Chen Changan calmly: "Let me be frank. Don't think that the small victory before can guarantee you a worry-free life. My Xixia army will arrive soon. By then, what can you, a mere Chu army, do to resist?"
"If you are smart, surrender now and you can still survive! Do you think you can compete with the Xixia cavalry with this insignificant victory?"
"It's like an ant trying to shake a tree. You don't know your own capabilities!"
"My Xixia army is crushed wherever it goes. How long can your Chu army from this tiny country hold out?"
Chen Changan sneered and stood up with his gun in hand!
With his posture as straight as a pine tree, he sat steadily on the warhorse. The horse seemed to sense his master's determination and pawed its hooves restlessly.
The Chu army soldiers all focused their eyes on the man holding the arrow, and their eyes seemed to want to cut him into pieces!
Some soldiers had their eyes wide open, their eye sockets about to burst, their eyeballs bloodshot, some had their nostrils flaring violently, gasping for breath, their heavy breathing sounds intertwined together, like low thunder!
Others clenched their teeth tightly, with the muscles on their cheeks bulging and making a clattering sound, as if their teeth were about to break in the next second!
Their hands were tightly gripping their weapons, their knuckles were white and their veins were bulging!
"Don't talk nonsense, you bastard!"
"Come on, there are no cowards in Chu!"
"The Xixia thieves invaded my country and I will never forgive them!"
A low roar was heard from the Chu army formation. At first, the roar was just a few sporadic notes, but in a blink of an eye, it gathered into an overwhelming wave of sound!
The murderous aura emanating from them made the air around them tremble, as if it was going to drive back all the sandstorms in the northern desert!
What else is there to say? If you want to fight, I will fight!
Chen Changan shook his head and smiled: "Holding the arrows, my Chu army soldiers are worth ten of us, why would we be afraid of your Xixia army?"
"Every victory is the glory of our Chu State, and is forged with the blood of our Chu soldiers. Even if the army is approaching, we will fight to the last man!"
"This land is our root and our soul. We were born and raised here. We will protect it even if we shed our last drop of blood."
"You Xixia people, you have attempted to invade other countries' territories, burn, kill, plunder, and commit all kinds of evil. Such atrocities will be punished by heaven!"
General Zhishi's face darkened, a sinister look flashed in his eyes, and he continued, "Chen Changan, why are you so persistent? If you surrender, my King of Xixia will definitely value your talents and give you a high position and generous salary, which will far surpass the suffering you have endured in this Chu State."
"The soldiers under your command will also be spared from the pain of slaughter and will enjoy glory with you."
"You had the chance to escape this difficult situation and become a superior person. Why did you risk your life and the lives of your soldiers for the sake of the soon-to-be-destroyed Chu State? What a foolish choice!"
Chen Changan looked determined and shouted angrily: "Chi Shi, you've got the wrong person!"
"I was born a Chu man and will die a Chu ghost. How could I betray my country for the sake of that vain glory?"
"The land behind me has my relatives and the people of Chu. I will use the gun in my hand to protect them and never retreat even a single step!"
"You Xixia people don't understand. This is our homeland, our faith, and the root of our inheritance from generation to generation."
"We Chu people would rather die standing than live on our knees!"
I would rather die standing than live on my knees!
Chen Changan's roar resounded through the sky, like a sharp blade, breaking the dead silence above the battlefield.
This shout was like an electric current that instantly spread through the bodies of every soldier of the Chu Army.
Their eyes instantly became bloodshot, as red as if they were about to bleed. They stared at Xixia intently. The fire of anger burning in their eyes was enough to melt this ruthless desert into boiling magma.
The soldiers' finger joints turned white from exerting so much force, and veins bulged on their arms, as if angry dragons were swimming beneath their skin.
Their chests rose and fell violently, their breathing was heavy and rapid, every breath they inhaled seemed to accumulate endless power, and every exhalation was accompanied by a low roar, like a volcano about to erupt.
What else is there to say? Let’s fight!
He brandished his long sword with an arrow in hand and gave the order: "A reward of 100 oxen will be given to anyone who enters the city. Charge!"
One hundred cows are enough wealth for a tribe to safely survive the long winter. It is a treasure that countless people dream of but cannot reach!
For the Xixia soldiers, this was undoubtedly an order that could drive them crazy.
The whole camp was in an uproar!
They poured out of the tents like a tide, shouting chaotic but wild slogans, and ran wildly towards the direction of the ancient city of Jiaohe.
The ground beneath their feet trembled under their hurried footsteps, and the raised dust formed a yellow mist that filled the back of the team.
The cavalry roared, urging their horses to speed up.
The warhorse's mane fluttered wildly in the wind, its nostrils exhaled heavy air, its four hooves were in the air, and it galloped like an arrow!
The horses' hooves splashed on the ground, splashing up earthy yellow flowers, as if even the earth was being beaten with angry beats by them.
The spears and shields in their hands collided with each other, making a clanging sound, which intertwined with their shouts, playing a crazy war melody.
The flags in the team fluttered in the wind, with bright colors and flying postures.
The momentum of the Western Xia army was like a raging torrent, sweeping towards the ancient city of Jiaohe. Wherever they went, sand and rocks flew, and the sky and the earth changed color.
It seemed as if they wanted to swallow up everything in front of them in this crazy wave and would not give up until they achieved their goal.
I thought that Chen Changan would fight to the death with Chi Shi just like last time.
But when he saw the army armed with arrows charging at him fiercely, Chen Changan just laughed and waved his hand backwards: "Fuck off."
