Rêve de Jiangshan

Chapitre 138

Li Ming watched in horror as the enemy troops grew increasingly united, their fighting strength increased, and their momentum grew ever stronger. Only three thousand men! Yet they possessed such imposing presence! No wonder someone was eyeing them! This force of three thousand soldiers must have undergone at least three years of basic training, followed by a year of intensive training. Especially Yu Chi Rufeng in the ranks, who was exceptionally brave, commanding with methodical composure.

Li Ming seemed to recall the war more than a decade ago. Although Yu Chi Huaiyang had fewer troops and was showing signs of defeat, his face did not show any panic. His eyes were filled with determination and fearlessness! The boy in front of her was Yu Chi Huaiyang's grandson. If her son had not been killed by Yu Chi Huaiyang back then, perhaps she would have a grandson just like herself today!

Thinking of this, Zhao Ming roused himself even more, diligently organizing his soldiers to form a defensive formation and resist the enemy. He stared intently at Ru Feng, his eyes gleaming with the fierceness of an eagle, like a tiger poised to pounce and strike its prey when it least expected!

Engrossed in the fierce fighting, Ru Feng naturally didn't notice Li Ming's presence. She was completely focused on the situation, monitoring the surrounding enemy positions and issuing commands, so she couldn't see Li Ming surrounded by soldiers. Moreover, Ru Feng also had to keep an eye on who the traitor was.

The enemy troops are increasing in number. Ru Feng estimated that there are at least 20,000 enemy soldiers. They have no horses and no bows and arrows. Now they can only rely on their true skills!

However, Ru Feng smiled bitterly. It was a huge move, using 20,000 men to fight against his 3,000 brothers! But he might not necessarily lose! Ru Feng raised his head firmly, and the attack of his silver sword became even more fierce.

Gao Yueqi, who had been protecting Ru Feng, said anxiously, "Marshal, the enemy seems to have 20,000 troops!"

After piercing a soldier's throat with a sharp stab, Ru Feng replied, "Our brothers can take on ten men each, and we'll definitely beat these bastards to a pulp!"

Ru Feng's voice was loud. The soldiers, who were already exhausted from the fighting, were jolted when they heard it, and their swords became even more fierce!

Most of the soldiers in the Tiger Wing Battalion were seasoned veterans. As long as their commanders remained in power, they would fight with increasing ferocity. Bloodshed and death constantly stimulated them. As a united and cohesive unit, the blood of their comrades was undoubtedly the best drumbeat and military music, and their morale would only become more and more invigorated!

However, the enemy soldiers were still too numerous, and they attacked in waves, leaving them no time to rest. As more and more soldiers gathered, some finally collapsed from exhaustion, and the last one was slashed down by an enemy soldier in front of him...

So when dawn broke, Ru Feng and his men were unable to break through the encirclement, and only a thousand men remained by their side. They huddled together, back to back, looking at the enemy soldiers around them. Everyone was panting heavily, including Ru Feng and Li Ming.

Their feet and all around them were littered with human corpses, and blood flowed like a river.

Ru Feng, covered in blood, grinned and looked at Li Ming, saying, "I lost two thousand men, while you lost at least ten thousand. Even if I die here today, it's worth it!" Ru Feng looked at Li Ming's soldiers, who numbered about five or six thousand.

Li Ming's face was very gloomy. Although his red face made it impossible to see his complexion, the chilling aura emanating from him was palpable.

Li Ming laughed heartily and said, "Yu Chi Ru Feng, right now, isn't what you most want to know who the traitor is?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a commotion immediately arose on Ru Feng's side, with everyone looking around.

Ru Feng uttered in a low voice, "I killed him long ago!"

The soldiers immediately fell silent.

Li Ming narrowed her eyes: "You're really good at lying through your teeth. He's clearly still standing next to you, but you're saying he's dead!"

Ru Feng also shouted, "You don't need to disrupt our morale! We're already both badly injured; if we continue fighting, the outcome is still uncertain!" Though he said this, Zhou Qian and Zhou Hou kept glancing at the others, afraid that a spy might suddenly harm Ru Feng. Ru Feng naturally sensed their actions, and his heart warmed. Last night, the two of them had shielded him from countless attacks, including the arrow shot by Li Ming. Thinking of them, Ru Feng remembered their true master.

Wen Chen, if I really die here today, I hope you won't be too sad. I also hope that I can travel through time again. If I have to start from being an infant again, I won't mind that you are old.

Ru Feng's mind wandered for a while, but he finally calmed down.

Another battle ensued. The surrounding green mountains remained silent, watching the carnage unfold before them. Through the thin morning mist, clanging sounds echoed continuously, and the stench of blood was already pungent and acrid.

......

After a long time, the Spring Vine Kingdom's military camp was a scene of utter defeat, covered in blood. The mountains were quiet, as if no one was there, but the pungent smell testified to the ferocity of the battle that had just taken place.

Everyone had fallen, and the ground was littered with piles of corpses.

Soon, someone crawled out from the pile of corpses.

As if struggling, Ru Feng crawled out and shook Gao Yueqi, Zhou Qian, and Zhou Hou with difficulty. They only opened their eyes slightly, but then closed them again weakly.

Ru Feng remained still, sitting silently in the sea of blood.

After an unknown amount of time, another figure stood up and walked step by step toward Ru Feng.

Ru Feng looked at him and said, "It's you! The vast majority of the Tiger Wing Battalion soldiers have no problems with their identities. I can't understand why they would betray us. But you can. Because your background is unknown, Grandpa knew that you and I were friends, so he specifically went to investigate. But he only found very simple information. So Grandpa once told me that you have problems, but I believe in you. In the end, I was too naive!" Ru Feng spoke for a long time, and finally gave a weak smile. He was no longer as dashing as Ru Feng, no longer as handsome as Pan An. His blood-stained face looked ferocious.

The figure remained silent, but walked up to Ru Feng and sat down.

“Yes, you fought so bravely, you killed many enemy soldiers for us last night, but all of this was caused by your betrayal.” Ru Feng looked at him blankly.

"Tell me, what should I do now?" a light, airy voice asked.

Rong Yiying finally spoke: "Kill me."

Ru Feng flicked his finger: "I'm willing but unable, you might as well kill me."

I won't kill you.

“Then I will definitely kill you from now on.” She murmured softly, “Why are you and Yun Tianze like this? The first time I could still cry, but now, I want to cry, but I find myself powerless.”

"Your identity?" Ru Feng asked stubbornly.

After a long pause, Rong Yiying sighed deeply, "I'm sorry." Then she got up and disappeared into the distance.

After he left, several more people gradually stood up from the pile of corpses.

In the distance, the sound of iron hooves gradually approached, growing louder and louder in waves...

Volume Two: How Many Have Returned from Ancient Battles? Chapter 113: Captured

"Marshal, how are you?" Zhong Ying asked anxiously. He quickly dismounted and helped Ru Feng up, while the more than two hundred men he had brought dispersed to do their own thing, which meant searching for their own survivors among the piles of corpses, and if they found any enemy soldiers still alive, they would finish them off.

Ru Feng shook his head and asked, "What's the situation now?"

"Reporting to the Marshal, General Leng and General Sun's 30,000 men did indeed encounter an ambush, and initially the situation was one-sided. However, later, because the enemy's Marshal Li Ming received some intelligence midway, he lost 20,000 men and turned back. Then our General Lü and General Wei Chi arrived to provide reinforcements, and thus engaged in a fierce battle with the remaining 30,000 enemy soldiers." Zhong Ying said while giving Ru Feng a pill.
