Some people opened the collapsed tents that were on fire to rescue people, some drew their swords and patrolled everywhere, shouts of firefighting were heard from everywhere, and the horns of the troops gathering were also sounded at the same time...
Various orders were mixed together, and ordinary soldiers who had just crawled out of the tent found it difficult to figure out what to do.
The scene became increasingly chaotic, with only a few able to truly form an army.
At this moment, the arsonist Xi Heng had already drawn his sword and stepped towards where the enemy troops were gathering.
The flames were pushed away by the gust of wind caused by the body movement. With a flash of sword light, the blood line first cut off the raging fire, and then came to the enemy's neck and chest.
Seeing the blood spurting, Xi Heng's eyes turned red and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
Several heads were thrown high into the air as blood gushed out from their broken necks.
……
In the incomplete formation, a tall figure reacted and held a machete across his chest to try to block her swing.
But her sword can cut iron, and with the increased energy and blood, the red line extending to the tip of the sword can cut iron like mud!
Not to mention a machete, even a divine weapon made of meteorite from the sky can be cut off.
The sword blade cut through the broad and thick sword, and the pointed red line passed through, cutting the opponent's entire chest directly into two halves.
After killing this Ming Jin Dacheng man, Xi Heng swept across again.
The mind is as calm as still water, and the field of vision is gradually slowing down.
In the direction where the sword passed, a red line appeared on everyone's body.
The red line gradually split into a wound, and then gradually became a cross-section of flesh and blood.
The cross-section is flat and smooth, and it seems that it can be directly used in medical research.
The leaking lung valve, the broken diaphragm, the still beating heart, the contracted stomach and the clean liver all appear as exceptionally rosy as newly ripe fruits.
The scattered internal organs, blood and all kinds of mucus were scattered all over the ground.
When Xi Heng saw a dark energy warrior holding two swords attacking from the side, his whole body seemed to turn subconsciously, and the sword blade was raised to knock the opponent's arm away.
She fell into a state of extreme concentration. She didn't have to think at all. She just needed to empty her mind and the killing would continue.
The enemy continued to swing the axe with his only remaining hand, while Xi Heng's sword pierced through the skin of his chin, pierced through his mouth, nose and entire head, and then came out from the top of his head.
The other person's eyes quickly turned red and were filled with blood. He immediately lost consciousness and fell face down.
The human body is extremely fragile. If the chest, head, or spleen in the abdomen is pierced, death will occur in a short moment.
"Unless you reach the level of Hua Jin, you don't even have the qualifications to connect with my sword—"
Xi Heng chopped off the head of another dark force warrior and rushed towards the concentrated enemy troops.
The next moment the entire army formation was broken up, and hundreds of soldiers were scattered as if they were hit by a car.
……
Chapter 103: Be prepared for war
midnight.
Xi Heng slowly stood up from the sea of blood and corpses, patted his blood-soaked sleeves, and swung his sword, but not much blood splattered on the sword.
The raging fire spread to all the tents, big and small. The summer night was already hot and humid, and with several layers of fire around, ordinary people would sweat profusely.
However, at this moment, everything that could be burned had almost been burned.
The night wind carried away the heat, and the fire gradually dimmed amid the waves.
But the blood that had solidified on the hem and sleeves of his clothes was difficult to dissolve.
Xi Heng moved his gaze away from his sleeve and looked back at the disastrous scene before him.
"These miscellaneous soldiers stationed in the camp seem to be weaker than the combat troops we encountered before." She said to herself.
Morale is also more easily crushed.
At first, the sudden fire and screams made the camp chaotic, and her raids and killings made it difficult for the military headquarters to gather.
With her speed, the enemy couldn't tell how many people were attacking.
The east was calling for help the moment before, and within seconds the west was shouting that a military force was about to attack.
Even a dark energy warrior could only fight with her for two or three moves and could hardly restrain her.
Later on, the shouts in the camp became more and more exaggerated, with some even shouting that Da Zhao had sent several Hua Jin warriors and a dozen An Jin warriors to attack.
Finally, in the midst of great chaos, the cavalry that had previously released the fire magic returned to the battlefield, shouting and killing, and rushed into the camp, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Just over fifty cavalrymen galloped around, killing anyone they met, causing the enemy camp of two to three thousand people to quickly collapse.
The camps were clamoring, lighting fires like stars, and even a camp howl. Yan Meng's soldiers in various places seemed to have a collective mental breakdown and killed everyone they saw.
The entire military camp became hysterical. The soldiers broke free from military discipline and took revenge. Thousands of soldiers screamed and shouted, either fleeing or fighting.
So much so that a quarter of an hour later, when Xi Heng came back to his senses from the massacre, he saw only a pile of strange-looking corpses left in the midst of flames.
There were pieces of flesh that were so broken that it was impossible to tell where they were, there were skulls that had been split in half and were still oozing light blood plasma, and there were also shattered internal organs and various large and small intestines that stretched out like ripe persimmons smashed to the ground.
The blood slowly gathered at the lower place, forming pools of blood.
The calm surface of the pool of blood was flickering with the light of the burning fire around it.
Xi Heng moved and looked around, but could no longer see any enemies still standing.
They either escaped or died here.
Among them, most of the powerful ones who had mastered the hidden power or the bright power had been killed by the sword in her hand.
These strong men of Yanmeng Kingdom are indeed brave and good at fighting, but they use their bravery in the wrong place.
"Most of those who escaped were just ordinary soldiers. It would be difficult for them to reunite after they were separated..."
In such a dark night, there was no need to worry about enemy reinforcements arriving and disrupting what she was going to do next.
"Hmm..." The girl looked at the blood and flesh scattered on the ground and the still warm fresh corpse.
She turned her gaze and stopped at the Great Zhao cavalry who were still marching around with swords in hand, searching for enemy remnants and survivors.
They each killed a lot of defeated enemy troops and looked obviously more excited.
Some were so blood-curdling that they were still galloping through the blazing fire, shouting, “Kill the enemy, kill the enemy!”
Xi Heng coughed lightly and ordered his cavalry to come over.
Not caring about their excited expressions, she continued:
"Most of the enemy troops fled during the chaos just now. You don't need to search anymore. Help me pile up the bodies."
"Yes, Your Highness!" the rider immediately agreed.
After experiencing the almost massacre-like victory just now, they no longer had any doubts about Xi Heng's orders.
Now even if they were asked to go through fire and water, they would probably obey orders without thinking.
Seeing that everyone had gone to work, Xi Heng let out a breath, casually grabbed his sword and walked towards the campfire in the camp.
Above the campfire, several skinned and seasoned whole roasted lambs were stuck on thick branches.
Apart from the bloody smell and strange burnt smell in the camp, the only aroma was the burnt food in front of him.
Xi Heng moved closer, and steadily cut open a layer of charred meat with the bloody sword blade, cut off a small piece of tender and juicy mutton, pinched it with his hands and brought it to his lips.
The meat strips without sauce on the inside naturally have no taste.
However, even if it is not delicious, the view of the blazing fire around while dining does make it quite flavorful.
Xi Heng slowly filled his stomach and watched his riders pile the corpses together.
Looking at the size of the pile of corpses, I estimated that there were probably over a thousand people... or maybe a little less.
After all, the soldiers of Yan Meng Kingdom are larger in size than the rebels, thieves or bandits in Da Zhao Kingdom.
After all the bodies were placed, Xi Heng clapped his hands, picked up a broken gun barrel at random, tore off the flag of Yan Mengguo next to it, and wrapped the cloth strips around the top of the gun barrel.
With this, he stained the ground with blood and drew a magic circle on it.
Wavering tentacle-like stripes surrounded the pile of corpses, forming the shape of a vase.
After drawing the magic circle, Xi Heng first used the fire surge method, placed it on the pile of corpses, and ignited a huge pillar of fire.
The cavalrymen under his command had long been accustomed to the sight of cremation or burning of enemy corpses. When the flames spread over the pile of corpses and absorbed spiritual energy, they would no longer feel terrified.
At most, they only noticed that the raging fire released by Her Royal Highness the Princess was more efficient than ordinary flames and could burn the enemy into charcoal in just a few seconds.
After absorbing the spiritual energy, Xi Heng put the full spiritual stones into the inventory, casually led a tall horse, and led his men away from there.
The camp's granary was engulfed in flames, and the surrounding cattle and sheep fled in all directions when they saw the flames.
The tall and sturdy red-maned horse stepped over the flames on the ground and turned west.
The cavalry followed behind them, and under the thick night, they ran together towards the nearest military headquarters of the Great Zhao - Qiming City.
……
The sky gradually turned white, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and finally the outline of the sun could be seen again.
Xi Heng and dozens of cavalrymen traveled through mountains and rivers and came to the top of the hill, where they could finally see the city in the distance.
Most of these northern fortress cities are relatively small, and obviously much more compact than the large cities in the south. However, their walls are tall, wide and thick, and they are located on dangerous terrain, making them easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Yan Meng's army, which was not good at siege, was quite troubled by this. They had set up camp in a town not far away, but they had not been able to decide how to attack the city for a long time.
Qiming City has not yet been truly surrounded. The Tabaiwei, who served as vanguards and scouts, went out from a small gate on the side of the forest and returned to the city via the same gate.
The horses walked along a mountain road covered by dense forests and came to the foot of the broad city wall. A side gate of the city, only wide enough for two horses to walk side by side, gradually opened.
Xi Heng, wearing a blood-stained red robe, sat on his horse and stepped in.
Not far behind the door, the famous general of Da Zhao heard the news and walked out from his mansion at the rear.
The White Guard cavalry officer quickly dismounted, stepped forward quickly, clasped his fists and half-knelt to report:
"General He, Beizhou's grain route and the main camp have been breached!"
"Well done! This trip will frighten the enemy general Lou Guwang." The general looked at the few remaining remnants with a sad look:
"List the names of heroes and martyrs for the fallen soldiers, compile memorials, and arrange compensation."
The civilian official behind the general responded and moved closer to inquire about the casualties.
Afterwards, the general looked at Xi Heng, who was sitting on his horse behind the cavalry officer, and asked:
"I guess you are the princess who General Wanli often mentioned, beheaded the traitor enemy general Fang Tiande on the battlefield."
An officer at the side responded first and said: If it weren't for Her Royal Highness the Princess, they would never be able to accomplish this great task.
The girl also nodded and introduced herself:
"Zhao Xiheng."
"Your Highness, may you be blessed. I am He Yuanze, the governor of Hejian. I am currently responsible for the duties of Qiming. I will destroy the enemy's invading army and cooperate with the soldiers of the other two cities to attack the enemy."
As the other party was a general, he just bowed and saluted.
"I am here to help you destroy Yan Meng's army." Xi Heng said bluntly: "Give me a hundred cavalrymen, and the enemy's camp of a thousand men can be destroyed."
"Your Highness, please follow me." The gray-haired old general in armor did not respond directly, but turned around and returned to the mansion.
Xi Heng dismounted, handed the red-maned horse to a cavalryman beside him, and followed the general inside.
The palace was empty, with only swords and guns in the yard and no other playthings. A lion statue stood in the middle, looking solemn.
There were only two or three younger attendant soldiers in the room, and no one else.
Arriving at this secret place, the general waved his hand to order his attendants to serve tea, then stood beside a long table covered with a map, pointed to a town in the north of the three cities on the map, and spoke directly:
"Our army is preparing to combine the strength of three armies to wipe out the 30,000 enemy troops stationed in Shoumi Town outside Qiming City."
"Your Highness, you don't need to lead the troops to attack the enemy during this period. You can rest for a few days and defeat the enemy generals in the next battle. This will increase our army's chances of victory."
"Have you already made a counterattack plan?"
It turned out that the Great Zhao military was not as weak as she had imagined.
"Your Highness, with the arrival of a powerful Hua Jin warrior, our chances of victory will be even greater." General He Yuanze said:
