Chapter 41: Fierce Battle Fierce Battle

  King's leader responded quickly, the method was correct, and the decision was timely. However, at this time, the remaining militia of the Zhao family were desperate to survive, and no one listened to his commands. Each of them had only one conviction in their hearts: that joining King's team would be safe. Therefore, they didn't listen to King's leader's call and desperately rushed into the formation.

  The Wang family's brave men received the order from their leader and immediately wielded their swords and spears to block the Zhao family's brave men from entering. One side wanted to advance, while the other side blocked them, and soon they clashed with each other, and an unstoppable fight broke out between the two families of Zhao and Wang.

  The remaining militia of the Zhao family were slaughtered by the Wang family, and they immediately lost hope. With pursuing troops behind and blocking ahead, where was there a way out? It was just a matter of dying sooner or later, so they fought with all their might, making a desperate last stand, like a trapped beast fighting back, and the slaughter on both sides became even more brutal.

  Wang Touling saw this and was so anxious that he jumped up, now crying with a broken heart. This good rescue mission had turned into a self-destructive massacre. What's going on?

  But now is not the time to investigate the cause of this matter, looking at the Chen family has already exterminated the Zhao family's children and even killed the head of the Zhao family, with a strong momentum, the gaze towards the Zhao family is full of murderous intent. For the time being, in order to prove that one is not in cahoots with the Zhao family, it would be better to instruct the village warriors to launch a massacre against the Zhao family's village warriors, so as to demonstrate their sincerity.

  At the sound of the order, the royal family members who had received the exact order no longer shrank back and immediately the Wang family's village braves shouted as they clashed with the Zhao family's village braves.

  Chen Jialang's grandson sat on his horse, wiping the hot blood from his face. Looking at the corpses of the Zhao family scattered all over the ground, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction. The Chen family had finally annihilated the Zhao family, and from now on, there would be no one in this land who dared to challenge them. With this victory, the Chen family would surely solidify its position as the dominant force in this land. His grandfather, the patriarch, would definitely praise his performance in front of everyone, and his future status as the successor to the patriarch would be unshakeable.

  Look at the final battle between Chen, Zhao and Wang's three families. In his heart, he secretly thought that now strong enemies are watching from all sides, they must fight quickly and decisively, otherwise if Zhangjia Village's men take advantage of the opportunity to intercept them, then everything will be over. Therefore, he shouted loudly to the remaining 70-80 cavalry brothers beside him: "Brothers, bring out your courage, use the fastest speed to kill all of Zhao's village braves, establish Chen family's foundation for a hundred years in the future, charge!"

  The brothers, stimulated by bloodshed and good prospects, let out a wolf-like howl, urging their war horses to charge at the last enemy.

  Chen Jia Xiao shouted hastily: "Brother, you mustn't——"

  But it was too late, the war horse had accelerated, the charge had begun, and the distance of a hundred paces was reached in the blink of an eye. Where could he still stop? Chen Shiqi could only watch with his eyes wide open as that reckless Long Sun led his own brothers to rush into that chaotic battle group with lightning speed.

  "It's all over, nothing can be done."

  It's all over; indeed, everything has come to an end.

  Chang Sun led a cavalry of dozens, with the intention of swift victory, and charged into the battlefield with lightning speed. The war horses were unstoppable, and once they galloped forward, there was no way to rein them in. They burst into the enemy formation in an instant.

  In the battle, there were not only his own brothers and the remnants of the Zhao family, but also innocent Wang family militiamen. The war horses galloped by, wanting to stop in front of the Wang family formation, which was already a fool's dream. With a loud rumble, they pierced through the formation, and wherever they passed, not only did the remnants of the Zhao family fall, but many bloody and battered Wang family militiamen also fell.

  Wang the leader saw the cavalry charge, and knew it was bad, but everything could no longer be recalled. He watched with his eyes wide open as the war horses charged irresistibly into the chaotic battle group, charging into their own formation, piercing the entire formation, leaving behind a field of corpses of his brothers.

  The king's head saw the corpses of his brothers and his heart was bleeding, his eyes were bloodshot, he jumped up and cursed loudly: "Chen Jialang, you son of a bitch, I'm going to fight you to the death——" After finishing speaking, with red eyes, he led his brothers to charge towards Chen's cavalry who were circling around preparing for another attack.

  Actually, Chen Jia's long grandson knew it was bad when he and Zhan Ma charged together. On the battlefield ahead, there was no distinction between you and me, and if they rushed in like this, it would be a disastrous outcome where both jade and stone were destroyed. To try to rein in the galloping war horses was simply impossible; if anything went wrong, one would be thrown off by the suddenly stopped horse and fall into the forest of swords and guns, becoming a pile of minced meat. Even if they managed to stop somehow, their brothers rushing from behind would not be able to halt their pace and would knock them off the horse, trampling them into pulp under the iron hooves of dozens of war horses. Now there was only one option: to charge forward recklessly, no matter what lay ahead, even if it were a mountain of knives or a forest of guns.

  Charging into the fray, it's no longer something one can control. Confronting the blades and spears pointed at oneself, one can only continuously parry. Facing the enemies charging towards oneself, there's only the option of striking first with a powerful slash. Blades rise and fall, heads fly off, blood splatters everywhere. After a frenzied bout of slashing, suddenly everything clears up, and oneself emerges from the enemy lines, covered in fresh blood.

  He slowed down his horse and turned back, preparing to explain his helplessness to the king's leader, but when he looked up, the king's leader was red-eyed and waving a big knife, urging his horse to kill him.

  "King's leader misunderstood!" - Chang Sun held up his knife and blocked the big knife that was chopping towards him, loudly explaining.

  But is it still possible to explain now? That Wang leader has already been stimulated by the death and injury of his own brother, with a knife going down, two knives intersecting, sparks flying everywhere, two horses colliding, that Wang leader also doesn't stop the war horse, directly killing into the chaotic Chen family formation, another knife, a bewildered Chen family son's good head flew up to the sky, a loud and resounding blood red rose to the sky, the slaughter began again in this blood red.

  What else can be said? What more explanation is needed? Everything has become so inconceivable, now all that's left is to fight, fight until one side completely falls, there's no other way.

  Chen Jialang's grandson urged his war horse again, raised his big knife and led the cavalry brothers behind him to kill the already chaotic battle group.

  In the warlord's camp, it was no longer possible to distinguish between friend and foe. The Wang family killed the Chen family, the Chen family killed the Gao family, the Gao family killed the Wang family, the Wang family then killed the Gao family again, and then killed the Chen family. It went back and forth like this, with no rules or order anymore. Everyone just saw anyone who didn't have their own emblem as an enemy to be cut down by knife or gun; there were no allies, only enemies.

  Chen Jia Xiao Shi stood at the periphery of the battlefield, his knife hanging weakly in his hand, looking at this irreversible battlefield, with a mix of emotions in his heart. What's going on? How could it be like this?

  No one can tell him.

  Looking back at the high Zhangjiabao in the distance, I saw the dense and crowded heads of the pole men on the fort, Xiao Shiqi could only ask Buddha to bless them, bless those pole men foolish enough not to see this perfect opportunity to annihilate the Allied Army, but is this possible?

  Lv Shihe and Guo Tianxing led the poles of Wuniu Mountain to repel the attacks of the rural warriors twice, immediately boosting morale, each pole cheering and full of confidence in victory.

  The arrows for the longbows became scarce after two rounds of shooting due to inadequate preparation. Although there were plenty of arrows on the walls of Zhangjia Village, they were all normal arrow bundles, which were much shorter than what the longbows needed, so they couldn't be used. Taking advantage of the interval between the next attack by the militia, everyone rushed back and forth, transporting logs, stones, fire oil cannons, and preparing for the next defense.

  There will be no more long-range attacks with bows and arrows, the next battle will be a close-quarters fight to the death, so preparations must be sufficient. Fortunately, this Zhang family is a wealthy and generous master, and in the fortress, they have prepared a large number of offensive and defensive equipment, which makes Lü Shi and Guo Tianxing extremely happy.

  Just as everyone was busy, a small head who was assigned to be responsible for scouting the enemy situation suddenly shouted: "Sir, look quickly, it seems that something has changed with the militia."

  Lü Shihe and Guo Tianxing stopped what they were doing and ran to the edge of the ridge, looking in the direction that Xiao Tou's hand was pointing.

  It wasn't, the cavalry with Chen's emblem surrounded the militia wearing Zhao's emblem for some reason, and both sides stood off against each other with swords drawn, while those wearing Wang's emblem just stood by, seemingly at a loss for what to do.

  "Sir, I wonder if those bastards are up to something, seeing that the siege is not going in their favor, they might be thinking of luring us out for a field battle." Tian Xing guessed with furrowed brows.

  "Let's take a look." Lü Shi also didn't understand what was going on, so he supported himself with his hands on the edge of the window and stretched his neck to look outside.

  The whole wall was filled with people chattering and pointing fingers, a group of onlookers watching the commotion. "Quickly look, quickly look, they're fighting!" some of the onlookers excitedly pointed out.

  They really started fighting, Chen Jiaxiang's men began to slaughter Zhao's family, and for a time the cries of killing filled the air as blood splattered everywhere.

  Guo Tianxing's eyes widened as he stared at the unbelievable battlefield, and it took him a long time to turn back to Lü Shiyue and stutter: "Sir, you're so clever, this is...this is..."

  Lü Shiyé was also confused by this sudden change, lure the enemy? That's a bit too much, let me take another look, maybe it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if that's really the case, then it's truly heaven's blessing.

  With a nervous heart, Lü Shi anxiously watched the changes outside.

  No need to guess anymore, the change is already very obvious. A fierce battle, a real fierce battle. If luring the enemy requires such a life-and-death struggle, using human lives to perform a play, then that's overestimating Lü Shi and others.

  "Sir, let's kill our way out, while we still can." Tian Xing also saw that this was not a trap, but a real internal conflict among the local militia, and it was a rare opportunity. So he loudly shouted to Lü Shi:

  Nowadays, Gu Tianxing has reached a point of dependence on Mr. Lü Shi, and he must ask Lü Shi about everything before doing anything.

  "I know, I saw it, but we still have to wait." Lü Shi was no longer in a hurry at this time.

  "Why, sir, when opportunity knocks, you don't come again!" Tian Xing looked at Lü Shi with a lukewarm attitude and shouted loudly.

  Lü Shi put down his heart at this time, smiled and shook his head: "This is just the beginning of their internal fire fight, why can't we wait? Wait for them to exhaust each other, then we can pick up the ready-made battle results, how good?"

  "But—"

  "The great households are not in a hurry, they have just started fighting. If we rush into the battle at this time, they will put aside their differences and unite against us. If they don't fight hard later on, then there won't be any loss for us either. Alright, let's watch the excitement." Lü Shi said with a smile.

  Guo Tianxing could only anxiously support himself on the edge of the wall, stretching his neck to look outside, and from time to time nervously glance at the calm and composed Lü Shi, waiting for Lü Shi's instructions.

  Outside the city, the fierce battle is in full swing.
