Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 513: Battle 2

As the leading general, to just die in the first moment, one can imagine, how great of an impact that was towards the morale, especially when dying too quickly and too bluntly. If it was in the middle of a heated battle, only falling down after ruthlessly battling, then perhaps it can even arouse hostility from the people below, wanting to avenge him. But, to just die before even facing off, then it won’t be hostility rising in these people’s hearts, but rather fear, fear brought about because of the large disparity.

As such, the originally overflowing vigor instantly collapsed, the orderly assault squad falling into disorder. And what was more tragic was that the ones in the very front, because the direct impact was too shocking, subconsciously pulled the reins, and the people behind just that successively collided into them.

At this time, never mind the strength to battle, they were simply just a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

And on Qi Yuan’s side, the charging momentum didn’t stop. Even with the sudden chaos, their feet never once paused in the slightest, directly lunging forward like starved wolves, perfectly having the people amidst the confusion cleanly dealt with.

And behind them, donned in armor, sitting upright on horseback, was someone holding a seemingly plain yet absolutely powerful bow by their side.

This wasn’t someone under Fu Yun Ting, and in a certain sense, also someone that shouldn’t appear here, but sorry, because of truly molding too much, he afterwards just led a group of people and snuck over on his own.

Towards not directly charging forward and killing, instead ‘releasing cold arrows’ in the back, He Shi Hai just clicked his tongue. He was also a bit helpless. This was something he absolutely wouldn’t do in the past. Clearly, he ought to be charging in the very front.

In Le Cheng Emperor’s eyes, this time, Fu Yun Ting was said to have really rebelled. That’s why, He Shi Hai, this minor general that he was rather optimistic about, he also unhesitantly sent out. After arriving at Tianmen Pass, He Shi Hai although didn’t know Li Hong Yuan’s plan, but he wasn’t really stupid either. From some of Qin Tian Ming’s hints, he for the most part was able to guess a little. Moreover, as a qualifying fanboy, towards Li Hong Yuan, he had absolute confidence. Missing? Heheh, what a joke, even if he didn’t have a brain, he would still feel this was simply just something the other party had planned.

That’s why, after reaching Tianmen Pass, he was ‘obedient’ for a period of time. Afterwards, he just took the troops under him and ran. Of course, it wasn’t all the people assigned under him, but just the people brought back to the capital from the northeast. It wasn’t much either, just about a hundred people. That’s why, he actually was quite impetuous of a person.

The first to discover him ‘missing’ was naturally the people under him, afterwards hastily reporting to Qin Tian Ming. After slightly pondering, Qin Tian Ming also roughly knew where he went. Towards this willful and rash, having no military discipline in his eyes, little bastard, he was also very helpless. In the end, he just replied with, “Understood.”

He Shi Hai successfully met Li Hong Yuan, but Li Hong Yuan didn’t say anything, directly having him thrown to Fu Yun Ting. Towards the matter of him having no military discipline, it was just forgotten about like this? Heheh, really too naive.

He Shi Hai had the bow passed to the person behind him, and then lifted his own spear and charged out.

TN: All

Have to say, He Shi Hai was someone naturally born to be on the battlefield. Even if getting ruthlessly trained by Li Hong Yuan, thus not completely relying on his super human instincts to battle, the He Shi Hai that used his rationality and brain to battle absolutely shouldn’t be underestimated either. It can be said that when it comes to killing on the battlefield, even if Li Hong Yuan’s abilities right now were stronger than him, he still wasn’t able beat him in killing. That’s why, the people that were already timid because of their general dying, encountering this god of death now, that was really not having the strength to retaliate.

Towards the people fleeing, Li Hong Yuan won’t chase after, but He Shi Hai wasn’t the same. His warhorse had gone through countless battlefields with him, thus able to coordinate quite tactfully. That was truly a wolf entering a flock of sheep.

‘Violently charing’ through, He Shi Hai’s long spear harvested lives along the way. Moreover, towards the same person, he for the most part all won’t strike twice. After all, even of not dying in one hit, there would still be others helping him finish off. One has to know, the people following him, quite a few were experts in finishing off.

That’s why, what appeared to be the weakest wing actually was the most savage place.

This time, utter defeat truly came a little too quickly. Daxian Wang had no choice but to order for a retreat. And with this retreat, they will have no way of finding a fixed place to set up camp, because Qi Yuan was truly pursuing too tightly, simply not giving them the chance to catch their breath.

And afterwards, on the third day, the people under Daxian Wang converged with another branch of the Xiongnu army, an army belonging to North Xiongnu. Although previously there were frictions, but afterwards, didn’t nothing happened. As such, Daxian Wang didn’t think too much of it. However, after the two armies converged, the other party suddenly exposed their fangs, attacking this batch of soldiers, catching them off guard.

The number of people on West Xiongnu Daxian Wang’s side originally occupied a very large advantage, but because of fatigue, they were thus caught unprepared. As such, although they didn’t flee in a sorry state, the casualty was still quite disastrous.

Soon after, it was even North Xiongnu’s army voluntarily withdrawing, because if they continue fighting, they certainly will entirely perish. After all, ‘a starved camel was still bigger than a horse^[1]‘. Ruthlessly biting West Xiongnu once was enough. In any case, West Xiongnu certainly won’t chase in pursuit.

West Xiongnu’s Daxian Wang ruthlessly wiped his face, ordering to reorganize the troops and head westward.

And in reality, the matters afterwards were even worse. West Xiongnu’s food supply got cut off. Although they were still in Qi Yuan’s territory, but previously, after getting occupied by them, it was ‘using war to support the war’. The land had long been scraped clean by them. That’s why, right now, even if wanting to plunder, they weren’t able to find a place to plunder.

Daxian Wang was rather tenacious, going all the way to West Xiongnu’s territory, but Qi Yuan’s army had also caught up.

[1] An idiom meaning, for someone that has an advantage in a certain area, even if suddenly in a bad situation, they are still stronger than others. In this case, it’s referring to how even though Daxian Wang’s army is fatigued, they still have the advantage in number over North Xiongnu’s army.
