Chapter 941 – Blood Battle Dragon Legion Corps

The time that Wei Yan chose to strike was very vicious. Currently, a large half of the Dragon Legion Corps soldiers had entered the manor to fight the remaining garrison forces.

Just like that, 30 thousand Swordsman City troops surrounded them from all directions, blocking the City Lord’s Manor. Wei Yan was confident about forcing them all into the manor. Then they could kill them slowly.

Unfortunately, he had underestimated the Dragon Legion and Lai Hu’er.

The moment he heard what was happening, Lai Hu’er reacted, “No good, there’s an ambush.” His heart shook, but he still had a calm expression. He gave off the aura of a great general.

“Men!”

“Present!”

A Personal Guard stepped out.

“Inform the forces inside to immediately back out.” His order was unexpected.

“Yes general!”

“General?” The deputy following beside him did not understand and asked, “Since the enemy has set up an ambush, shouldn’t we enter the manor and defend from within?”

Lai Hu’er shook his head, “There’s no time to explain, just give the order. Ask the troops outside to form up and guard the gate of the manor so that the forces can back out.”

“Yes general!” The deputy pressed down the qualms in his heart, and he turned around to make the arrangements.

Currently, they had less than two thousand men apart from Lai Hu’er’s 200 Personal Guards. The remaining troops were all inside the City Lord’s Manor.

Seeing the situation, Lai Hu’er grabbed his spear; he was ready to fight at any moment.

Lai Hu’er naturally had his reasons for not entering the manor.

First, since the enemy had set a trap, there definitely would not be any grain in the manor. Although the vanguard forces brought military grain pills, they had basically finished using them, and they could last only a few days.

How could they defend without grain?

Secondly, since he was eager to earn credit, the vanguard had rushed and broken away from the other troops. They would not be able to defend and wait for reinforcements.

The only way would be to charge out before the enemy encirclement formed. After that, they would back off into Ganluo Pass.

In the worst case scenario, he could back off all the way and gather with the main force.

To be able to think of all of this in a short amount of time, Lai Hu’er was truly a great general. Although he had made a mistake, he did not make subsequent ones.

During the short while that he gave his instructions, the Wei Yan army had already surrounded them.

“Fire the arrows!”

Wei Yan was really sharp. Seeing the enemy guard the gate, he guessed what they were planning to do. Seeing that they were not moving away, he naturally would not give up this opportunity to strike them.

All of a sudden, an arrow rain came down on the Dragon Legion Corps soldiers.

“Raise the shields!”

Lai Hu’er broke move after move.

‘Shua!’ with the 200 Personal Guards as the core, the Dragon Legion Corps soldiers used the shields in their hands to form a shield wall to block the arrow rain.

Even so, there were still people that were hit. To reduce the weight, be it the sword-shield soldiers or the spearmen, they all used wooden shields and could not block all the arrows.

“Hold on!”

Lai Hu’er was really calm. At this point, there were men who had received the order and were moving toward the gate.

Wei Yan was not demoralized when he saw that; he immediately ordered, “Cavalry, charge!”

“Charge!”

Two squadrons of heavy armored cavalry received their order, and they launched their charge front the streets. As they stepped onto the green stone floor, the crisp sound was exceptionally loud on the lonely and quiet streets.

“Spearmen get ready!”

Lai Hu’er had seen many things. Naturally, he was not afraid.

“Kill!”

The Dragon Legion Corps warriors stabbed out with their spears from between the shields.

‘Hong!’

The high speed charging cavalry was like a flood, crashing into the soldiers. As war horse and shield met, a spear stabbed out, machetes came out of their sheaths, and blood splattered everywhere.

All of a sudden, horse and man tumbled.

“Hold them off!”

In front of the cavalry, the strong Dragon Legion Corps’ formation was broken apart.

Luckily, although it was broken, it was not chaotic. They naturally formed into smaller formations to fight the cavalry.

When Lai Hu’er saw that, he smacked his war horse and engaged the enemy soldiers.

What a general!

Lai Hu’er rode on the war horse. He wielded a spear in his hand, and he stabbed, swept, and hacked. Anyone he pierced died. As his spear swept out, a large group of men fell.

Seeing the incredible strength of their Legion General, the blood of the Dragon Legion Corps warriors boiled, and their morale soared. The formation that was broken was showing signs of gathering together once more; it was truly terrifying.

When Wei Yan saw that, he felt a chill. He recognized that his general was definitely the left vanguard general, Lai Hu’er. Looking at his skill, although Wei Yan knew he was good, he was not good enough.

Thinking of which, Wei Yan turned to the archer beside him and asked, “Can you shoot him down?”

The archer gave him a bitter smile, “General, look. He’s wearing a full body Mingguang Armor. Even if I shoot him, it’s useless.”

Wei Yan looked at Lai Hu’er’s body with envy.

Although Gaia removed the restrictions on the various weapons and equipment, due to artisan levels, equipment grades like that of the Mingguang Armor were really rare.

As the two of them spoke, more and more soldiers backed out of the manor and entered the formation, fighting against the Swordsman City cavalry.

Seeing that, Wei Yan gave an order, “Order the remaining forces to gather toward the gates and annihilate the enemy.”

Since he could not corner them into the manor, he was prepared to have a faceoff. 30 thousand against seven thousand, Wei Yan did not think he would lose.

“Yes general!”

Receiving the order, the army was like a flood, and they charged right at the Lord’s Manor.

Even though the streets on both sides of the manor were wide, it also seemed cramp because of the army. If they were to escape, they would have to escape under the pincer from three sides.

At the same time, Wei Yan summoned the archer forces and instructed, “Bring your men onto the roofs and await my orders.”

The archer general got the order, and his eyes lit up as he said, “I understand!”

“Follow me!”

With one order, four thousand archers left and disappeared.

…

Seeing more and more enemy troops gather on the streets, Lai Hu’er’s face turned more solemn.

“This battle is going to be lost!”

Even if he broke out, his forces would suffer heavy casualties. Thinking about this, Lai Hu’er felt really guilt. This loss meant that he would not have the face to face the Dragon Legion Corps soldiers and the king’s trust.

Shaking his head, Lai Hu’er pressed aside his random thoughts. The most important matter was to try to bring his boys out of this situation.

‘This animosity, I’ll remember it!’ Lai Hu’er set his heart to it.

Looking at the streets linked to the city gate, he saw more and more enemy troops gather. The deputy was anxious, and he said to Lai Hu’er, “General, let’s break out, we cannot wait anymore.”

Lai Hu’er asked, “How many of them are not out yet?”

“Two thousand are still fighting the enemy garrison forces.” The deputy general was getting more and more anxious, “General let’s go before it’s too late.”

Lai Hu’er was expressionless. He shook his head, “I will not leave any brother behind. Send the message to the front troops, tell them to hold on. Once everyone arrives, we will breakout together.”

“General?”

Seeing the general act so stubborn, the deputy really could not understand.

Lai Hu’er said coldly, “It’s an order!”

When the deputy general saw that, he sighed helplessly, “Yes general!” A military order was like a mountain. In the Great Xia Army, no one would dare to go against one.

Military law was heartless.

This entire matter was a result of his error in judgement. As such, all the more he would not leave the soldiers behind and leave alone.

He could not cross this line.

Although it might cause even greater casualties if he chose to continue defending, some things could not be calculated using human life.

Hearing that the general was not willing to sacrifice the brothers that had not left, the Dragon Legion Corps warriors all felt warm in their hearts. Adrenaline filled them as they fought valiantly.

“Dragon!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Dragon!”

This was the army soul of the Dragon Legion Corps. They loved killing, but they were not heartless.

At this moment, he truly gained the trust of the soldiers and merged into this system. Seeing this, he smiled, “This is a blessing in disguise!”

When the remaining Dragon Legion Corps soldiers finally backed out of the manor, the streets on both sides of the manor were covered with Swordsman City soldiers.

Not even water could flow.

When Lai Hu’er saw that, he rode on his war horse and waved the spear in his hand as he hollered, “Boys, follow me and kill our way out. Stab through them!”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

The remaining six thousand odd soldiers gathered together, forming an unshakeable iron will. Killing intent leaked out, and it gathered into an invisible killing aura.

Blood red clouds gathered above the Lord’s Manor.

When Wei Yan saw that, his face was really solemn as he muttered, “There’s actually such a strong force on this earth!” Wei Yan had heard of the strength of the Great Xia Army long ago. Being able to see it today, those words were all true.

With such an army, Great Xia really deserved respect.

“It is no wonder that the moment the Lord talks about Great Xia and the Xia King, he cannot keep his emotions in check.”

Wei Yan’s thoughts wandered off.

In the blink of an eye, six thousand Dragon Legion Corps soldiers formed up into their battle formations. Like a sharp knife, they stabbed right into the Swordsman City Army formation and engaged in slaughter.

If a human blocked them, they would kill them. If a Buddha blocked them, they would kill him.

On the first engagement, the soldiers at the front were like tofu, collapsing right away.

“What pheasants. What dogs!”

Lai Hu’er was really relaxed. He charged at the front of the formation, the tip of the sharp knife.

Such an aura stunned the entire Swordsman City Army. The huge streets froze for a moment and suddenly became really silent. The only thing that remained was Lai Hu’er’s words.

When Wei Yan saw this, his face was really ugly.

His words were the greatest insult to the army and to Wei Yan.

“Archers, get ready!”

Wei Yan’s eyes were cold; there were no emotions left in them.
