Chapter 697 Iron-blooded Summer
The song stopped abruptly, and the iron flow stopped moving forward. When the soldiers saw the old man in yellow crown and yellow and black silk on the hill, they immediately knew that it was Di Yao. Huang Shu's pure clothes are the emperor's color of Emperor Yao. There is no reason not to know him. The army in the past immediately bowed to the kneeless ice and snow and cheered in unison.
Di Yao waved his hand with a smile, and then pointed to the south. The soldiers roared loudly and immediately jumped up, led the horses, and continued to move forward in the wind and snow without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, these are all the water soldiers of the Xia tribe. This wind and snow is just a breeze and drizzle for them." Ji Kai said with a smile, "Xia Kun devoted the financial resources of the whole family and created 20,000 bronze armored horses. Except for 10,000 people stationed around Yudu, everyone else was sent here. He left them to His Majesty, and he led the direct legion of the Gaoxin tribe.
Di Yao nodded: "Xia Kunlong's father and son! I'm really loyal to Yanhuang. In this icy and snowy weather, this water warrior is very useful.
Ji Kai smiled and shook his head: "But Xia Yu is too arrogant, his heart is unfathomable, and your majesty can't be ignored."
At this point, Di Yao frowned and nodded silently.
At this time, suddenly there was a scream from the ice and snow in the distance. The scream seemed to be extremely far away, wrapped in the flying snow, and the direction could not be distinguished at all. Di Yao was shocked, and then he heard the sound of gold and iron breaking through the sky, and every sound brought a tragic cry.
"The ambush--" A Xia tribal warrior under the hill shouted loudly, "Protect Your Majesty!"
"Protect Your Majesty!" The soldiers of the Xia tribe responded in unison. At that time, nearly a thousand people stepped on the snow and surrounded the whole hill. The bows and arrows were watching the fluttering snow nervously.
Di Yao identified the direction. At this time, the sound became clearer. The impact of the sword, the muffled sound of sharp weapons cutting like bones, the sound of arrows breaking the air, and the screams of the injured, as if a fierce battle that could not see the enemy was being staged in the snow. It came from the southeast, where Jiang Chong's forward legion was located.
"Jiang Chong was attacked!" Di Yao's face changed greatly. He strode down the hill and shouted at the soldiers of the Xia tribe, "Who is responsible here? Click 3,000 people, follow me to save Jiang Zhiren, and defeat the sneaker!"
"Told it to Your Majesty!" A burly man in his forties stepped on the snow and came over. His armor weighed forty or fifty pounds, but there were no footprints on the snow, just like walking leisurely and calm. The man bowed to Di Yao and saluted: "My minister, Xia Ying, the leader of the Xia tribal army, is willing to defeat the invading enemy with your majesty! Warriors, divide the troops!"
This Xia Ying is Xia Kun's younger brother, ranking second, and the third is Xia Yu. Although Xia Ying's magic power is not as good as Xia Kun and Xia Yan, he is proficient in battle and has been partnering with Ji Kunwu in Nanjiao City for a long time. As soon as he spoke, thousands of soldiers abandoned their horses. The giant shields separated from the queue and slowly pushed towards the distance. The ordinary soldiers followed with spears, bows and arrows. Ji Kai was shocked and grabbed Di Yao's sleeve: "Your Majesty, don't take it lightly!"
"Well, I have been fighting for 40 years, and I have stepped on the world. Why are you afraid of Miaoyi!" Di Yao laughed, shook off his sleeves, pulled out a bronze sword from Xia Ying's back, and shouted, "Go forward!"
Three thousand soldiers slowly pushed forward, and Di Yao followed the battle with a bronze sword. Ji Kai had no choice but to accompany Xia Ying on both sides, and a heart had already raised to his stomach.
After pushing forward for about three or four miles, I saw that in the dense flying snow in front of me, countless figures were hanged into a group. There were black soldiers fighting hard everywhere. There were no shadows ten steps away. I couldn't tell who was fighting with whom. In the messy snow, the cold light of the blades shone, the arrows were shining everywhere, and people kept falling down. The snow was stained red with blood.
Seeing this scene, everyone was a little dazed. The snow was too big. Even if they went in, they couldn't tell each other apart. How to reinforce?
"Which brigade is Yanhuang in front of you?" Xia Ying roared excitedly. His elemental power was amazing, and his voice spread far away.
In the heartbreaking scream, a majestic voice roared, "I'm Jiang Chong, the sudden sneak attack of the Sanmiao people hiding in the snow should be the people of Jin Potian and Jinghao!"
When Di Yao heard that Jiang Chong was trapped, he was very anxious and was about to shout. Ji Kai hurriedly covered his mouth and whispered, "Your Majesty, you can't let the Sanmiao people know that you are here!"
This is quite reasonable. If the Sanmiao people knew that Di Yao was actually on the opposite side, why didn't they kill him? The snow is too big, and you can't see the figure clearly ten steps away. If you let a super-aggressive master such as Jin Potian get close to Di Yao within ten steps, it's not a joke.
However, shouldn't Jin Potian and Jinghao withdraw to Lingshan with the army of the Guiye clan? How could it appear in the hinterland of the legion?
Di Yao frowned. 80,000 troops are distributed in the surrounding area of 30 miles. How can such a few people suddenly touch between their own army and the striker?
"Yes!" Xia Ying also said, "I'll come down and deal with it."
Di Yao nodded, his face was as heavy as water, and he didn't say a word with his sword. The battlefield was dangerous. Although Jiang Chong's striker had 20,000, there were only 5,000 direct subordinates. It was expected that there were at least 5,000 Sanmiao people. Under the unexpected sneak attack, once Jiang Chong made a mistake, it was a loss he could not bear.
At this time, the edge of the battlefield was only more than one li away from them. Xia Ying did not dare to save people rashly. She waved and shouted, "The giant shield hand arrayed, and the whole army's bows and arrows were winding. Those who approached a hundred steps without authorization would be shot immediately!"
"You--" Ji Kai was furious, "You're crazy! In case our soldiers come back, how can they be born if they are killed by mistake?
"Your Excellency," Xia Ying was unmoved and said lightly, "The wind and snow are so big that you can't see anyone at all. If the enemy pretends to be our soldiers and retreats, it's too late to see his face clearly."
Di Yao didn't say anything, and Ji Kai also knew that it was true. He hummed, "Do you let Yaqing and the enemy fight to death? We are here to save people, not to watch the battle.
Xia Ying nodded: "Naturally it will save people." Yang Sheng ordered, "Qi Feng, Qi Yun, you each lead 500 people, holding spears, slowly enter the battlefield from the left and right wings, meet the enemy to kill, meet our soldiers, let them retreat from the wings and withdraw from the battlefield. Those who do not obey the order and return directly will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes!" Two young men holding huge swords shouted, put the sword in the back with their backs, took off the spears on the horses, and clicked 500 soldiers each.
"Remember," Xia Ying said solemnly, "Your Majesty's safety is greater than the sky. If you need to be cruel, you will never tolerate it."
The two nodded awefully and led the soldiers out from left to right. Ji Kai looked at Di Yao with an angry face and said, "Your Majesty, look, this... this is too much!"
"Since Xia Qing is the commander at this time, he has the command of the battlefield, and you and I should also listen to his command." Di Yao said lightly.
While talking, I saw that the figures in the distance were more dense, and the shouting was getting closer and closer. Thinking that Jiang Chong could not resist it, and 5,000 riders were in danger of defeat. Suddenly, I heard a roar in the distance: "Don't panic, withdraw from the left and right wings to the battlefield, and those who go straight will be killed without mercy!"
The soldiers led by Qi Feng and Qi Yun suddenly shouted together: "Withdraw the battlefield from the left and right wings, and those who go straight will be killed without mercy!"
"Shouting together!" Xia Ying waved his hand and shouted.
Two thousand soldiers also shouted together, and the rolling waves spread into the distance. However, on the battlefield of tens of thousands of people, the sound of killing was boiling. I don't know how many of the soldiers who were fighting in blood heard it. Anyway, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and they could even see the shadows running figure in the snow. Many people were running, an arrow shot from behind them, and immediately fell into the snow.
"Damn it!" Even Ji Kai, such a well-cultivated person, can't help scolding, "Sanmiao is really a barbaric country. Aren't you afraid of killing by mistake with arrows in such a situation?"
At this time, Ji Kunwu, who was reinforced in the distance, also sent 10,000 people to come over, and Di Yao immediately ordered people to stop them five miles away. At this time, the more people there are, the more troublesome it is. Behind them were the 7,000 troops of the Xia tribe, which was enough to resist the Sanmiao people outside. As long as Jiang Chong can break away from the enemy, the Yanhuang people will win. They will be killed by long-range bows and arrows, and even the shadows can be killed.
