The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World - Chapter 102
Just as Ru Feng finished applying the medicine to Gao Yueqi, the group of people returned. Ru Feng quickly packed up his things and greeted them, "You're back?"
The burly man, surrounded by the crowd, laughed heartily, spat, and shouted, "Yes, Little Mu, you help this kid apply the medicine?"
Ru Feng replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "We're colleagues, so I'll help if I can. We're all destined to meet."
The burly man walked over and slapped Ru Feng's thin shoulder. The man was nearly two meters tall, while Ru Feng was only 1.7 meters tall, so compared to him, Ru Feng looked pitifully small.
Ru Feng lowered her body slightly to avoid his giant hand, poured him a bowl of water, and said, "Big brother, are you tired? Drink some water."
"Ah, if only there were wine," the big man said longingly, but he still took the bowl of water and gulped it down in one go.
"Haha, Little Mu Zi, you're so small, and quite pretty. If it weren't for the scar on your forehead and your fair skin, you'd be a real pretty young lady." He laughed heartily as he spoke.
Ru Feng rolled her eyes inwardly, speechless, and went about her own business.
The big man didn't hold Ru Feng's behavior against him. After spending many days together, Ru Feng's position in the camp was quite delicate. There were seven new recruits in total. Gao Yueqi was the one who was bullied the most. The others had also been bullied to varying degrees. Now they no longer attracted their attention. There were also one or two who had become the big man's underlings, following him around and constantly flattering him.
From the very beginning, Ru Feng had a good grasp of the big man's status in this tent, so he began to subtly curry favor with him, mentioning that he was Zuiyue, the younger sister of the army doctor, and then giving some medicine to his "big brother". As a result, Ru Feng was very safe here and was actually quite well taken care of by them. However, Ru Feng did not grovel and still had to do what he was supposed to do, such as helping Gao Yueqi apply medicine today.
The burly man wasn't stupid. Although Ru Feng was currently in a position of currying favor, he could tell that Ru Feng was different. Moreover, although Ru Feng had clear eyes and a still somewhat childish face, he exuded an aura whenever he got angry or put on a stern face. He knew that Ru Feng was no ordinary person and was afraid of causing trouble. In addition, Ru Feng's martial arts skills were mediocre and his attitude was humble. He didn't have the skills and arrogance of that kid Gao Yueqi, so he didn't intend to provoke him. After living for so many years, he still had a good eye for people.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that he had misjudged Gao Yueqi.
Time passed in this way. As Ru Feng spent three months in the military camp, the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Ru Feng heard that war was about to begin. The Spring Vine Kingdom had begun to stir up trouble on the border, sending spies to probe and harass the enemy from time to time. So now the marshals and generals were discussing a major plan, whether or not to send troops. It was said that the court no longer intended to advocate peace, and many people supported war.
Ru Feng sighed. War was coming!
Thinking of the Spring Vine Kingdom, Ru Feng thought of Yun Tianze and the shocked and stunned expression on his face when they last saw each other. He couldn't help but sigh. Those wonderful days at the academy were truly gone forever. Yun Tianze was gone, and he didn't know if they would ever meet again. Even if they did, they would be speechless or stand on their own sides and fight each other with their swords.
And I will also be entering a different stage of my life.
Yes, everyone has their own responsibilities, and the battlefield... could it be the place where one's bones are finally buried?
Ru Feng buried her head in the blanket, thinking sullenly about the impending battle, unable to describe her feelings.
Chapter Ninety-One Killing the Enemy
Ru Feng now deeply understands the disadvantages of being an ordinary soldier, because you don't know what will happen, where you will go, or who you will fight with; you can only follow orders.
Before dawn that day, Ru Feng was woken up and, still groggy, followed along. Like the rest of the soldiers, they were assembled and set off. They marched in silence, passing through several mountains, and at daybreak, the soldiers arrived at a valley and hid in the dense forest.
After an unknown amount of time, at the end of the mountain road in the distance, a flock of birds suddenly took flight, and Ru Feng felt a chill: the enemy had finally arrived!
Then came the deafening sound of galloping hooves, billowing dust, and the gleaming bows, crossbows, swords, and other weapons that shone brightly in the morning light. This army numbered in the tens of thousands.
After the tens of thousands of enemy troops had all entered the valley, Ru Feng heard a loud shout: "Charge!"
In an instant, the drums thundered, deafeningly loud, and powerful arrows flew through the air. After a round of arrow rain, the enemy troops below the valley were slightly flustered, but their formation was not completely disrupted, showing that they were well-trained elite soldiers.
Next, it was Ru Feng and his men's turn. Wielding broadswords or longswords, they hacked and slashed at any enemy they encountered. Ru Feng, wielding an ordinary longsword, moved up and down the ranks. Compared to Gao Yueqi's valiant fighting, Ru Feng could only manage to protect himself, occasionally helping the soldiers beside him.
Looking at those vibrant, young faces, Ru Feng couldn't bring himself to strike. He could only defend himself or manage to injure them. At that moment, Ru Feng was like an infant, utterly bewildered and ignorant…
This sniper battle was extremely fierce, bloody like nothing Feng had ever experienced before. She watched as the soldiers, who usually joked and laughed, turned cold or contorted their faces, their sharp blades flashing incessantly, killing without blinking an eye, blood spurting everywhere, and people falling one after another, their numbers gradually decreasing.
With a sidestep, he stabbed away the longsword in his hand, blocking the fatal blow. The soldier who had been rescued by Ru Feng didn't even have time to glance at Ru Feng again. He simply swung his broadsword and rejoined the battle.
Three enemy soldiers rushed over, swinging their sharp blades at Ru Feng. Ru Feng dodged left and right, his longsword flashing. In an instant, a stream of warm blood splattered onto his face. Following the direction of the sword, he saw a soldier, about fifteen or sixteen years old, staring wide-eyed at Ru Feng, his eyes filled with shock.
His head was hanging halfway, one half severed and the other half resting on his head. His eyes bulged out, staring crookedly at Ru Feng. Blood gushed out like a spring, splattering onto Ru Feng's face.
Ru Feng was also stunned. The bloody scene at such close range and in such high definition gave her a splitting headache and made her feel dizzy for a moment.
With a loud bang, the sound of metal clashing rang out, and a familiar voice roared, "Kid, what are you still standing there for? Want to die?"
Ru Feng looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ma Qingqiu's face. His whole body was covered in blood. He had shielded Ru Feng from an enemy attack. At this moment, he was staring fiercely at Ru Feng: "If you keep spacing out, you won't be going back today!"
Ru Feng snapped out of her daze and looked at the soldier lying on the ground, his eyes still wide open and his head still half-hanging. But Ma Qingqiu's voice was earth-shattering, a truly startling remark!
Yes, if we don't fight back now, we might never see Grandpa and the others again, never see the Yujue brothers again, never see Mu Wenchen again...
Upon realizing this, Ru Feng shuddered and roared, truly joining the battle!
Ru Feng, wielding a long sword, charged forward and backward through the formation. She was agile and adaptable, usually killing her enemies with a single sword strike. Ordinary soldiers were powerless to stop her.
The valley reverberated with the air of death and despair, the sounds of fighting never ceasing. The sun had long since risen, its rays still bright, the green mountains still verdant, but the stream below was gradually turning a bloody red, its surface seemingly boiling. Corpses piled up in the valley, neither side yielding, locked in a fierce battle.
Ru Feng unleashed the killing techniques she had learned since childhood. Her movements were swift and decisive, and she was fierce in killing enemies. With a cold and stern face, wherever she went, the enemy would be killed or wounded. Gradually, a group of people gathered around Ru Feng. After Ru Feng noticed this, she continued to call out to the soldiers around her, so that they could attack and complement each other. They gathered together and obeyed Ru Feng's command, so they were invincible. They cut through tens of thousands of enemy troops like a hurricane, leaving bloody paths in their wake.
Soon, bugles sounded from the enemy ranks, and the enemy army gradually retreated in an orderly fashion. Thousands of soldiers darted forward from the rear, covering the main force behind them, and rockets rained down on Yue Fei's troops. The two armies were clearly separated, and Yue Fei's troops were caught off guard. Many fell instantly, and many soldiers were on fire, rolling on the ground crying out in agony.
As Ru Feng and his soldiers dodged the rockets, Ru Feng's troops also began to form ranks and start firing arrows at the enemy. However, it was clear that the enemy was prepared, and the rockets they fired were far more lethal than simple arrows.
Seeing the horrific sight of the soldiers burning to death, Ru Feng could no longer bear it. With a sharp cry, he seized a horse, snatched a bow and arrows from one of the dead, mounted, and charged into the enemy ranks. Drawing his longbow, he unleashed over ten arrows like meteors, each one hitting its mark. In an instant, he felled over a dozen enemy rocket launchers. Simultaneously, he nimbly maneuvered between horse and foot, dodging enemy rockets. Reaching the enemy's front, he drew his sword from his belt, channeling his inner energy, and swept it across, instantly wiping out the enemy's front-line rocket launchers. The enemy was thrown into turmoil, their rocket attack slightly slowed. Ru Feng pressed on, his sword like a silver rainbow, leaving a trail of blood in its wake, its chilling aura disrupting the enemy's formation.
The men behind Ru Feng were no fools either; they immediately charged forward, and the two sides clashed again. Ru Feng used this opportunity to catch his breath, but in doing so, he was surrounded by a large number of enemy troops.
Ru Feng felt that the true energy he had just used had made him a little tired, but he dared not relax in the face of the situation. He could only pick up his sword and use the Yuchi sword technique that his grandfather had taught him. Every strike was deadly and rarely missed.
The opposing general, Li Ming, rode his tall horse and looked at Ru Feng, who was trapped in the battle formation. He thought, "How can an ordinary soldier have such skills!" A hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by a cold look.
So he took the longbow offered by the soldier, drew the bow, nocked an arrow, aimed at the target, and with a whoosh, the sound of air being cut rang out.
Just as he was about to hit his target, Li Ming smiled, but then an arrow appeared out of nowhere and shot out, colliding with Li Ming's arrow and falling to the ground.
"The Marshal has arrived!" A cheer rang out, invigorating the soldiers of the Violet Kingdom. Reinforcements had arrived, and they fought even more fiercely against the enemy.
Li Ming looked at his twenty-year-old rival, a man in his sixties who was still vigorous and did not look like an old man at all. At this moment, under the Violet Banner, he was wearing armor, his tall figure sitting solemnly on his horse, holding a bow in his hand. His face was ashen, his eyes were sharp and cold as he silently watched Li Ming, occasionally glancing at Ru Feng who was fighting hard.
