Chapter Twenty-Four: A Decisive Victory in the First Battle

  When Ma Teng's cavalry was about to charge into Ye Jiajun's camp, at this moment, when Ma Teng was still thinking about how to turn the tables and take revenge on Ye Xuan, an unexpected situation appeared on the battlefield.

  Ye Jiajun began his second transformation!

  After the volley of the Divine Machine Battalion, there was no chaos as Ma Teng had expected. On the contrary, the soldiers of the Divine Machine Battalion immediately put away their repeating crossbows.

  Then began a swift and orderly withdrawal to the wings of the formation...

  And what was originally behind the Divine Machinery Camp was actually the main force of the Ye Family Army in this battle!

  The vanguard of the main force was a small part cavalry, and the large part following behind the cavalry were the Ye family's long spear infantry.

  After the withdrawal of the Divine Machine Camp, the main force of Ye's army immediately rushed out from the rear army and divided into three parts. The left route was commanded by Zhao Jie, the commander of Xuan Yuan, the right route was commanded by Yang Xiao, the commander of Xing Tian, and the central army was commanded by General Sun Yu.

  Under Ye Xuan's command, the left and right wings of the Ye family army launched a pincer attack on Ma Teng's cavalry. Sun Yu also led his men to charge into the enemy camp, wielding their sabers to slash at the enemy cavalry, engaging in a fierce battle.

  The scene became extremely brutal, Sun Yu didn't say a word, mechanically swinging the machete in his hand, his eyes emitting a cold glow that made the enemy dare not look him straight in the eye. At the same time, every swing of the knife would cut down one person, and in an instant, dozens of people had fallen under his blade. Gradually, Sun Yu's body was covered with wounds, at this moment he only felt his head spinning, his limbs numb, really wanting to lie down on the ground and sleep for a while. But looking around, he knew he couldn't, he still hadn't helped his brother complete his great cause. He constantly warned himself, absolutely cannot fall, absolutely cannot sleep now.

  Blood dripped drop by drop from the short blade, flowing out. Sun Yu took step after step forward, and with each step, someone would fall down.

  One step, two steps, three steps... Every step Ye Xingchen took felt like he was using up all his strength. Each step was like a boxing match, so exhausting and painful.

  At this time, Sun Yu's eyes had already turned red, although everyone knew that Sun Yu was now at the end of his strength, but no one dared to come forward. In this battle, Sun Yu finally established his position in the army!

  ……

  Huang Han was one of the earliest followers of Ye Jiajun's army. Before joining Ye Jiajun's army, Huang Han was just a vagrant who made a living by stealing and begging. One day, he was so hungry that he ran into a wealthy family's house to beg for food, but accidentally got caught.

  Then he was met with a violent beating, and even when walking on the road, he suffered from other people's contemptuous glances.

  But since joining the Ye family army, although he couldn't guarantee a big fish and meat every day, at least eating enough was not a problem. Recently, he even found a wife and had a child with her, so his Huang family finally had an heir, which was something he didn't dare to think about in the past. Although he never got promoted in the Ye family army, Huang Han still felt very satisfied.

  Huang Han knew that all of this was given by General Ye, he hadn't read any books because his family didn't have the conditions for it, but he understood the principle of repaying kindness with a flood of gratitude, and now was the time to repay that kindness!

  Only to see Huang Han shouting: "For the general! For the Ye family army!" He charged towards the enemy in front of him, his long spear stabbing mercilessly at the guy rushing towards him. With one thrust, he pierced the enemy's heart, and blood splattered out, accompanied by the desperate cries of the man beside him...

  But Huang Han didn't even have time to pull out his knife, and his right rib was already chopped by someone's knife. All he heard was a "hiss" sound, and he saw the knife pierce into his own heart. His consciousness began to blur gradually, but his face still wore a faint smile. His body slowly fell down, and until death, he didn't have any regret...

  There are countless examples of this, as Ye Xuan watched his soldiers fall one by one. At this time, the corners of Ye Xuan's eyes gradually became blurred. Although Ma Teng had fallen into his own trap, although Ma Teng's soldiers were just a mob, although Ma Teng's casualties far exceeded his own side, and although there were many more "althoughs", he couldn't stop the sadness in Ye Xuan's heart.

  Ma Teng's soldiers were five times his own, this was an indisputable fact. Even if Ma Teng had fallen into his own trap this time, in order to win this war, sacrifices from his side were indispensable. At this moment, he also wanted to rush forward and fight bravely with his brothers, but he knew that he couldn't move now. He knew that his life was no longer just his own, if he died, the morale of his side would immediately disappear, and then they would really be counterattacked by Ma Teng.

  Su Zhong, who had led the Divine Machine Regiment to retreat back, looked at Ye Xuan's red and swollen eyes and couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy. In this chaotic world, what was the cheapest thing? Human life, that's all.

  Those superiors would care about the lives and deaths of their subordinates, treating them like their own generals, truly regarding them as brothers.

  Su Zhong secretly congratulated himself, his boss was a very sentimental person! It seemed that he had not followed the wrong person, Su Zhong secretly vowed that as long as Ye Xuan still accepted him for one day, he would go all out for Ye Xuan! From now on, his life belonged to Ye Xuan, and whatever Ye Xuan wanted to use it for, he would let him.

  ……

  Although the Ye family army suffered a lot of casualties, it was nothing compared to Ma Teng's troops.

  Those poor cavalrymen of Ma Teng who rushed down from the mountain, having run such a long distance, had their own strength five times that of the Ye family army. However, when they arrived in front of the Ye family army, they first became targets for the Divine Machinery Battalion and soon after became fish on the chopping board of the main force of the Ye family army.

  Looking at the fearless and mighty Ye Family Army, those sheep that seemed vulnerable to a single blow suddenly turned into ferocious wolves. All of this put Ma Teng's cavalry in an extremely desperate situation, with the 5,000 iron riders on the verge of collapse.

  ……

  Ma Teng was actually a clever person. Seeing that the situation was not good, his own troops were in danger of being wiped out, and even his own life was likely to be lost.

  So Ma Teng immediately made a very shameless decision, watching with his own eyes as his two sons were captured, without any reaction, he immediately led the escape to save his life, and Ma Teng didn't even want his two precious sons...

  Ma Teng's soldiers lost their will to fight after seeing their commander flee, and they became disorganized and scattered, turning around and fleeing in a hurry.

  Seeing this situation, Ye Xuan understood... Ma Teng was finished...
