Ultimate God of Swords - Chapter 828
Chapter 828 Encirclement And Pursuit
“Xuan Ao! Did you shoot down all my signals?”
Qu Tianba gritted his teeth and shouted.
“No.” Jiang Country shook his head, “I didn’t do anything, nor did I stop you. Even the people of Yang City can see the signal you sent! Have you ever seen me intercept your signal?”
Qu Tianba clenched his fists and said, “Then you!! What do you mean by that?”
“You are not suitable to be a king.” “Don’t you understand now? Your ability is too weak. With Han Country in your hands, it’s only a matter of time before it will fall!” The king of Jiang Country, Xuan Ao, shook his head.
“You …”
Qu Tianba was enraged. He had actually thought of a possibility, but he was more willing to believe that Xuan Ao had purposely said it to break his heart.
Immediately, he shouted at the top of his lungs, “Keep on defending. All of you, keep on defending. One from the Jiang people, kill one for me, and two for me. Kill!! Kill!!”
The king let out a furious roar. The cowardly Han people gathered their courage again. This was not the first time they had fought against Jiang Country. They also understood Jiang Country’s methods. Jiang Country was a country that rejected outsiders. They would not tolerate prisoners. If they surrendered, the vast majority of the people here would be disposed of by them. At present, there was only one way to survive, and that was to continue fighting.
However, there were too many people in the Jiang Country. The barrier of the Protectorate City Lord’s Mansion was like broken glass. Layers after layers of broken glass shattered, and the defenders inside became even more nervous. Their legs trembled as they watched the enemies rushing towards them.
The king had miscalculated, the army had lost their breath, and the outskirts had lost their reinforcements. There was no other way for the Han Kingdom to go.
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty, quickly evacuate! We still have the inheritance technique, and we can still preserve our life force. Evacuate! Evacuate!”
The ministers at the side saw that the barrier was completely broken and became even more anxious. They rushed over one by one and cried out anxiously.
“No!! Don’t retreat, we still have a hundred thousand troops, there are more than a hundred thousand troops, what are you afraid of? Fight!! Fight again!!”
Qu Tianba didn’t care about the lives of his soldiers at all. He pulled out his royal sword and shouted angrily, “Die!!”
The ministers saw His Majesty’s unwillingness. However, the plan had changed. It could no longer continue like this. The advantageous city wall took the initiative to give up. At present, relying solely on the defensive system of the City Lord’s Mansion was impossible to stop the army of Jiang Country. For the sake of today’s plan, they could only leave quickly.
“Hurry, hurry up and take His Majesty away!! Use the inheritance technique!! Hurry!!”
“General Li!! General Li Guangyuan!! Quickly lead the army and cover His Majesty’s retreat!!”
“We must stall them!!”
The officials couldn’t care less. Once the barrier shattered, the Jiang army would launch a mad killing spree. Although there were more than 100,000 Han people, the commanding heights weren’t caught and they were surrounded by the enemy. It was difficult to break out of the encirclement at this time, let alone win.
However, the only thing that was worthy of praise was that the emperor had set up a sufficient transfer array around the city lord’s mansion this time. There were enough people to pass it away. However, he had to sacrifice a portion of them to slow down the army of Jiang Country that was swarming over.
Under the forceful dragging of the civil and military forces, the ruler of the Frost Kingdom was forced to ascend to the throne formation. Not long after, mysterious golden lights erupted in the City Lord’s Mansion.
“Let’s go?”
The king of Jiang Country revealed a trace of disdain on his face as he said indifferently, “General Desire!”
“This subordinate is here!”
“Split up a portion of them and go to that place to support them. This time, we must capture Qu Tianba alive!”
“I accept your orders!”
After saying that, he left.
Very quickly, the Jiang army split up a force, directly bypassing the valley city and heading towards the rear…
Jiang Country’s army had almost completely surrounded Valley City. There were corpses, people, swords, profound arts, and death in the city.
Along with the rapid withdrawal of the Han Kingdom’s defenders, Valley City was about to fall.
At this moment, on the mountainside in the distance, a person was silently watching the battle.
The evolution of the war was in front of his eyes, and such an outcome was truly lamentable.
The Han army was defeated much faster than they had imagined.
Su Yun took a light breath, his eyes flickering.
There might be some problems with the commander of the Han army. Otherwise, with the strength of the valley city, it wouldn’t be a problem to last for a few days. It was freezing here, and it would be difficult for the people of the Jiang Kingdom to adapt to it. However, the Jiang army entered the city so easily… He didn’t know what to say.
Of course, Su Yun didn’t care about all of this. There was only one thing he cared about, and that was the position of the king of Jiang Country.
Primordial Spirit, who had previously used the Imperial Saint Battle Robe, had entered the battlefield and locked onto his target. Now, it was time for him to take action.
Clang.
A ray of snow swept up behind Su Yun and soared into the clouds.
He leapt over, and the pitch-black demonic energy emanating from his entire body was dragged out of his long tail.
As they approached the sky, their feet stepped on the snowy light, and black and white reflected each other!
With a cold killing intent, he charged at the hundreds of thousands of Jiang Country troops alone!
“Who are you?”
“Not all of Jiang Country’s slaughterers!”
A few soldiers from the Jiang Country noticed the people charging towards them, and all of them shouted angrily and pounced towards this direction…
…
…
Huala! ! ! ! !
A circle of golden light blossomed on the hillside ten thousand meters away from Valley City. When the light faded, countless figures appeared on the hillside.
These people were all wearing armor, and their entire bodies were filled with profound energy. Some of them were even seriously injured, and their appearances were miserable. At a glance, everyone’s faces were filled with disappointment and confusion.
These people were all from the Frost Kingdom.
The morale of the people was low, their spirits were depressed, and their faces were filled with grief.
Qu Tianba slowly walked down the hillside and looked in the direction of Valley City.
Right now, he seemed to have instantly aged. Originally, he was still full of spirit, but now, he was already in his twilight years.
The golden light continued to flicker, More of the remnants of Valley City had arrived here through the inheritance technique, Although there were more and more people, compared to Jiang Country’s massive army, these were like gravel. Furthermore, in this valley city war, the elites of the Frost Kingdom had been singled out, yet they had suffered such a miserable defeat. Without the barrier of Valley City, the Frost Kingdom’s land behind them would be completely flat to the Jiang Country army, and it would be difficult to defend it any longer.
Is there still tomorrow in Han Country?
No one could tell.
The snow in the sky stopped, but the temperature around it became even colder. The north wind blew non-stop, as if it could penetrate a person’s body and hit their hearts.
Prince Consort Li, Eldest Princess, and the others looked at each other. At this moment, no one knew what to say.
“Your Majesty, what should we do now?”
At this moment, the Prime Minister walked over, clasped his fists and asked.
His voice was filled with deep depression and disappointment. However, it was useless to say too much at this point. Returning to the Imperial City as soon as possible was the most urgent matter.
“Where’s General Li? Is he back?”
The king of the Frost Kingdom asked in a deep voice.
“According to the reports of the soldiers who have just entered this place using the transfer array, General Li and the others have already guarded the transfer array. They are going to destroy the array and prevent the people of Jiangsu from using the transfer array to chase us if they lose.”
The Prime Minister said.
However, as soon as these words landed on the ground, he heard a putong sound coming from the side.
Looking over, Prince Consort Li was already paralyzed on the ground, his fists clenched tightly, and his face was tightly tensed.
Li Guangyuan’s actions were already very obvious, and everyone could know what would happen to him.
Everyone knew that he really wanted to cry, and they also knew that he really wanted to return to Valley City, but at this moment, he held back.
Crying was not a man’s doing.
A meaningless sacrifice was also a foolish act.
“My father is a hero of the Frost Kingdom.”
In the end, Prince Consort Li revealed a complicated smile and whispered. Then, he shouted loudly, “My father is a hero of the Frost Kingdom, and Great General Li Guangyuan is a hero!”
His voice traveled very far, striking straight into the hearts of the people.
The king of Han Country turned around and walked to the somewhat crazy Prince Consort Li’s side. He patted him on the shoulder but didn’t say a word.
Prince Consort Li smiled, but in the end, he was still silent. No one knew what his heart was thinking at this moment.
“Father Emperor, what should we do now? Should we order the withdrawal of the Imperial City?”
The Eldest Princess bit her lips and walked over to ask.
“There is no other choice but to retreat!” He took a deep breath and said tiredly, “Retreat …”
Everyone was silent.
After a long time, a messenger shouted.
“Your Majesty has issued a decree ordering the withdrawal of troops!!”
“Your Majesty has issued a decree that everyone withdraw to the Imperial City!!”
“Retreat!!!”
The voices continued to echo.
The deathly cold army began to move.
The crowd dragged their tired footsteps and began to move in the direction of the Royal City of the Frost Kingdom.
The wind blew harder and harder. These people, who had long been accustomed to the weather in the Frost Kingdom, actually found it a little uncomfortable at this moment.
The coldness grew stronger and stronger…
Woo! ! ! ! ! ! !
At this moment, a melodious and heavy horn sound floated in the wind, followed by a large number of air-piercing sounds.
The Han army was shocked and quickly gathered together.
Qu Tianba opened his eyes wide and looked around, only to see a large number of soldiers and horses appearing in all directions.
“It’s the Jiang Country Army!!”
‘”Impossible. The Jiang army is all in Valley City. How can they ambush here? Besides, this place is so far away from Valley City. There are 72 barriers set up along the way. Even if they come to chase after them, it is impossible for them to arrive so quickly!”
“What exactly is going on?”
“Could it be that the people of Jiangsu have also set up a succession array nearby?”
The crowd shouted in panic.
Wasn’t it the Jiang Country Army? Wasn’t it reinforcements? But … there are only two countries in Jianghan Pass, where did the reinforcements come from?
However, when a person appeared in front of these armies, all questions were answered…
Everyone fell silent.
The king’s face suddenly darkened, and his eyes were filled with killing intent that could not be dissipated!
He stared coldly at the person flying over, almost squeezing out a few words from between his teeth…
“Gongsun Changqing!!!”
