Chapter 658 - 658 Are You Scared Stupid?
As the arrows flew past, the generals of Ge Kingdom fell one by one.
The moment they fell, the ordinary soldiers would naturally be frightened, which would affect the morale of the soldiers.
Many soldiers couldn’t help but flee in all directions.
Seeing this, the other soldiers followed suit and began to flee.
Ye Lui Donghe saw their generals falling to the ground and many soldiers killed. He couldn’t believe it. How could this be?
They had clearly prepared traps and ambushes to beat the Daliang army into a pulp, but why was it the other way around?
Ye Lui Donghe immediately shouted: “Don’t run! Charge up and fight!”
However, the Ge Kingdom’s army was already in chaos, and no one listened to him.
He had no choice but to kill a few deserters on the spot to control the situation.
But just as he was about to give another order, Xiao Hanzheng took out the arrow from the horse and shot at him with his bow.
Ye Lui Donghe’s deputy general was right in front of him on the left and had been staring at Xiao Hanzheng.
Seeing the sharp arrow that he shot over, he didn’t have the time to block it with his weapon.
Thus, the deputy general could only use his own body to block in front of Ye Lui Donghe.
Whoosh! The arrow shot straight into his heart.
Before the deputy could say his last words, he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.
Ye Lui Donghe was shocked when he saw this. His eyes turned red and he was completely furious.
He gritted his teeth and looked at Xiao Hanzheng. “B*stard!”
Seeing Xiao Hanzheng shoot out the second arrow, he stopped cursing and grabbed a soldier to block the arrow.
Xiao Hanzheng looked on coldly and continued to shoot the third and fourth arrows.
Since he could train the Holy Arrow Battalion, his accuracy was naturally very high.
Ye Lui Donghe was so frustrated that he did not dare to block the arrow with his knife, fearing that he would be shot by the arrow. His shoulder was already wounded by Xiao Hanzheng’s sword and was bleeding.
Thus, he could only continue to use the soldiers beside him as shields.
After Xiao Hanzheng killed six shields, another deputy general of Ye Lui Donghe came over on horseback.
He then mounted Ye Lui Donghe and let him sit in front of him.
At that moment, another arrow was shot by Xiao Hanzheng.
The deputy general saw this and took the initiative to use his body to block the arrow for Ye Lui Donghe. “General, I will protect you and rush out.”
He used his whole body to block Ye Lui Donghe and showed his back to Xiao Hanzheng.
There was still an arrow stuck in his back.
Ye Lui Donghe saw that the Daliang soldiers who rushed out of the city were all very brave under Shi Qingluo’s lead. They even killed two of their generals in succession.
The people on their side had been attacked by Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo, and their morale had been greatly affected. Many of them started to run away again.
Ye Lui Donghe also knew that they had lost. If they didn’t retreat now, the casualties would be even greater.
“Retreat!”
He also rode his horse and led his men to retreat from the left side. This was the retreat route that he had planned from the beginning.
And for the sake of caution, he had arranged for three groups of people to receive and ambush them on this road.
He hoped that he wouldn’t need it, but he had to make a backup plan.
He didn’t expect that he would really use it now. He was glad but also uncomfortable.
Xiao Hanzheng shot another two arrows at the deputy general behind Ye Lui Donghe.
This person couldn’t hold on any longer. He took advantage of the last bit of consciousness and strength to quickly take off his belt and entangle himself with Ye Lui Donghe.
This way, even if he died, he could continue to block arrows for Ye Lui Donghe.
Xiao Hanzheng had shot all the critical parts of the body. He felt that he was going to die soon and spat out a mouthful of blood on Ye Lui Donghe’s back. “Take care, Commander!”
After he finished speaking, he fell onto Ye Lui Donghe’s back and breathed his last.
Ye Lui Donghe continued to retreat on his horse. His face was filled with pain, humiliation, and anger.
His two most loyal and skilled lieutenants were killed by Xiao Hanzheng just like that.
Moreover, he discovered an even more infuriating and shocking fact.
His kung fu was not as good as Xiao Hanzheng’s. He could handle it at the beginning of the fight, but gradually, he started to feel tired.
He realized that his previous strategy was wrong. Taking down the Third Prince and crippling Vice-Governor Xiao did not play a critical role.
Xiao Hanzheng was the key to whether they could defeat the Daliang army.
Who would have thought that a weak scholar would be so strong in martial arts? More importantly, he was good at fighting and had endless tricks in combat.
Today, Xiao Hanzheng had ruined all his plans one by one, which he had never expected.
Now, he could only escape in defeat. This was a humiliation to him.
Then, he saw Shi Qingluo, who was charging forward with her men.
Ye Lui Donghe’s eyes flashed and he suddenly made a decision.
If they could catch Princess Fu Bao, Xiao Hanzheng would definitely surrender to him given how much he valued her.
...
If Xiao Hanzheng did nothing and continued to pursue Shi Qingluo with his men, it would be a good idea.
This way, he could directly capture Shi Qingluo and bring her back to Ge Kingdom for them to use.
He did not believe that Shi Qingluo would not be upset if Xiao Hanzheng gave up on her.
He knew that when a woman was ruthless, she could not be underestimated.
Therefore, Ye Lui Donghe suddenly changed his escape route and rushed toward Shi Qingluo with his men.
The soldiers on Daliang’s side were extremely nervous. Whatever Ye Lui Donghe could think of, they could also think of it.
They couldn’t let Princess Fu Bao get caught!
However, they were too far away to save her.
The deputy general looked at Xiao Hanzheng and asked, “Lord Xiao, what should we do?”
At such a long distance, even an arrow could not reach it.
Xiao Hanzheng said calmly and firmly, “My wife won’t be caught.”
...
However, his grip on the reins still revealed his uneasiness.
Of course, he believed in his wife’s ability to adapt and have backup plans, but he could not help but worry about her safety.
When Shi Qingluo saw Ye Lui Donghe rushing over, she instantly understood his intentions.
Since she dared to charge with her men, she naturally had a backup plan.
Therefore, she did something that surprised everyone.
“Master!” she shouted at the sky. “This dog from Ge Kingdom wants to kill me. Please come and help me!”
The soldiers of Daliang and Ge Kingdom were speechless.
The soldiers in the city all revealed expectant and excited expressions.
The soldiers on the army’s side were all stunned. They felt speechless. Would shouting like this be useful?
This was too unreliable.
The soldiers on Ge Kingdom’s side wondered if Shi Qingluo had been scared silly.
They didn’t believe that shouting at the sky would work.
Ye Lui Donghe also felt that Princess Fu Bao was only so-so. She was so frightened by them that she started to call her master.
However, just as they were about to reach Shi Qingluo and the others, small black balls suddenly descended from the sky and landed among the Ge Kingdom’s charging crowd.
Explosions sounded out one after another, and a large number of Ge Kingdom soldiers were killed or injured.
