The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 698: One Shot Defeats Xiang Ji [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

"Aren't they afraid of hurting their own people by mistake?" Xiang Ji couldn't believe it. These arrows were flying from a distance and did not belong to the right wing camp.

It just so happened that all the arrows fell right in front of the camp gate, and not a single arrow fell into the camp.

Moreover, these rain of arrows seemed to be able to track them, moving along with their retreat.

After three rounds of arrow rain, there were less than a hundred people left around Xiang Ji.

As for the war horses, there were only a few left that could run.

"Young master, hurry up!" An old soldier slapped the butt of the warhorse under Xiang Ji's crotch with a sword.

The warhorse felt the pain and carried Xiang Ji away quickly towards the area covered by the rain of arrows from the Shesheng Camp.

The other soldiers turned around and rushed towards the pursuing Bingzhou army.

"Xiang Bo!" Xiang Ji turned his head and looked at the old soldiers who turned around and rushed towards the Bingzhou camp like moths to a flame.

Xiang Bo's swordsmanship was not bad, and he alone held off dozens of Bingzhou soldiers who were chasing him. Unfortunately, he was only able to hold off for a moment before he was drowned in the crowd.

On the battlefield, unless one's personal martial arts skills have reached the master level, he will be crushed by the army.

But Xiang Bo was obviously not such a master, he was not even at the level of a sword master or a first-class master.

After being blocked by Xiang Bo, the Bingzhou soldiers also found that this was a tough guy, so they immediately changed their formation, forming a three-man formation. One of them held a shield to block Xiang Bo's spear, one of them lowered his body with the cover of the shield guard, and chopped at Xiang Bo's legs with the short axe in his hand, and the last one waved his spear to restrict Xiang Bo's movements.

With just a simple change of formation, Xiang Bo's legs were chopped off and the spear pierced his chest.

However, the Bingzhou soldiers did not care and continued to chase him over his body, as if they had just killed an ordinary soldier who was slightly stronger.

The young men of Jiangdong are brave, and the veterans of the Xiang clan are also very strong.

It’s a pity that they encountered the more elite and younger Bingzhou Army.

After discovering the difficulty of their opponent, the Bingzhou soldiers immediately changed their formation, with three people in a group fighting with bayonets against the elite members of the Tenglong Legion.

The sudden change of formation of the Bingzhou Army made the Tenglong Legion completely unable to adapt. Even though they were able to gather together well with the blessing of loyalty and courage, they still could not change the outcome of being wiped out continuously.

In terms of personal bravery, they may be superior to the Bingzhou Army, but in terms of military proficiency, there is a world of difference between them and the Bingzhou Army.

However, because of their obstruction, Xiang Ji was able to safely escape the pursuit of the Right Guard Camp with his remaining troops.

Or it could be said that the enemy was able to escape because the Right Guard Battalion had no intention of pursuing them.

As for the Shesheng Battalion, they are all our treasures. It is great that they can come to support with three waves of rain of arrows. It is even more impossible to let them go in pursuit.

The cost of training an archer is much higher than that of an ordinary soldier.

"I will definitely avenge myself one day!" After escaping from the battle, Xiang Ji looked back with tears in his eyes.

However, there were less than a hundred people left around him at this time, and almost all of them were injured, including himself, who was pierced by several arrows in the back.

Being shot in the back is a disgrace for a soldier.

If he hadn't been wearing the Seven Seas Dragon Armor, these arrows would have pierced him.

However, now is not the time for them to rest. They must retreat to Yangdu before dawn. Otherwise, once dawn breaks, the Bingzhou scouts will chase them and it will be difficult for them to outrun them.

"Hey, I actually let you guys get out!"

A silent voice suddenly sounded in front of them as they fled.

Along with the sound came torches. Xiang Ji and the soldiers who had escaped were horrified to find that in front of them was a group of cavalrymen whose bodies were as red as blood and were armed to the teeth.

"Bingzhou Red Flame Cavalry!" Xiang Ji's hands couldn't help but tremble.

Even though they looked down on the Bingzhou Army before the war, thinking that they were merely bullying the barbarians who were no different from wild beasts, they acknowledged the record of the 30,000 Red Flame Cavalry annihilating 300,000 enemy troops.

The reputation of the Red Flame Cavalry is also recognized by the world.

And now, they, a group of defeated soldiers, actually encountered an entire army of Red Flame Cavalry who were well-rested and waiting for the opportunity.

"It's still a baby!" A horseman stepped out of the crowd, walked in front of Xiang Ji, and looked at Xiang Ji in surprise.

"You are Xiang Yan's grandson, the young master of the Xiang family, Xiang Ji, right?" The heavy cavalry captain looked at Xiang Ji and asked.

"I am Xiang Ji, a member of the Xiang family of the State of Chu. I am honored to meet you, General. May I ask your name?" Xiang Ji saw that the other party did not directly order the cavalry to charge, and he glanced at his comrades behind him. Finally, he suppressed his hatred and anger.

"Bingzhou, under the command of General Li Ren, the centurion of the heavy cavalry battalion, Yun was furious!" The cavalry commander took off his mask and revealed his true face.

"Do you still want to fight?" Yun asked angrily as he glanced at Xiang Ji and the less than a hundred remaining soldiers behind him.

Xiang Ji also fell silent.

Although he was said to be born with supernatural powers, double pupils, and the appearance of a saint, he was still too young.

"Take three shots from me and I'll let you go!" Yun was furious when he saw Xiang Ji hesitate, and then he thought of something and made a suggestion.

Xiang Ji was stunned for a moment. He was ready to surrender, but he didn't expect Yun Shang to be willing to let him go.

"General, can you make the decision?" Xiang Ji was still not sure.

After all, the person in front of him was just a centurion of the heavy cavalry battalion, not a captain.

"Of course!" Yun nodded with a fierce smile.

"Okay, please give me your guidance, General Yun." Xiang Ji jumped onto his horse, saluted with his fists holding his spear.

Yun nodded angrily, spurred his horse back, and pulled away from the duel distance.

"Let me remind you first, my last name was given by Your Majesty, my given name was also given by Your Majesty, and my martial arts were also taught by Your Majesty himself!" Yun was furious, as if he was afraid that Xiang Ji would look down on him, so he started to explain again.

Xiang Ji's originally somewhat contemptuous heart suddenly became solemn.

If he were an ordinary centurion, he would naturally have no fear, even though he was still young.

But Yun Danu's name was actually given by Emperor Xuanwu, which means that the person in front of him had made great contributions in Bingzhou and had this honor. His martial arts were taught by Emperor Xuanwu himself, so his strength should not be underestimated.

"General, please!" Xiang Ji said in a deep voice, and rode his horse to charge.

Yun nodded heavily in anger, his mask falling naturally, and he also held a spear and rode his horse to charge towards Xiang Ji.

On the warhorse, Xiang Ji held the spear tightly, counting silently, and suddenly swung the spear across the moment before Yun Damu entered the attack range of the spear. However, the spear missed the target and narrowly passed Yun Damu's neck, but it still missed by a hair's breadth.

On the other hand, Yun's furious spear hit him hard in the chest, knocking him away.

One shot, just one shot, and Xiang Ji was defeated directly.

Xiang Ji also looked at Yun Danu who was still riding on his horse with some disbelief. He knew that Yun Danu was already holding back, otherwise, this shot would have shattered his internal organs even if he was wearing the Seven Seas Dragon Armor.
