Shen Hao was dumbfounded. He had thought a lot about the scenes and results of the fight between Xuanhai Realm monks, but he never thought about the scene in front of him.
There was no terrifying tide of true energy or the aftermath of devastating power, just a seemingly ordinary sword fight, after which one person fell down and died.
If he hadn't known that both of them were monks in the Xuanhai Realm, Shen Hao wouldn't have bothered to take another look at this kind of fighting scene.
A Xuanhai realm person died like this? !
"Who is that person?" Shen Hao subconsciously asked the guard beside him.
"If our predictions are correct, that person is Xuan Tianqing, the fifth elder of Wanjuanshu Mountain."
"What cultivation level?"
"I don't know. There are rumors from the outside that Xuan Tianqing has entered the Xuanhai realm."
Shen Hao was stunned...
A person at the first or second level of the Xuanhai Realm can walk sideways in the Jingjiu Dynasty, and he is the kind of existence that thousands of people look up to. The back realm of Xuanhai Realm...this...no wonder Wanjuan Shushan is called a super sect. This is not without reason.
But the monks seem to have stabilized the situation, but what about the military camp? We can't let that master go and kill ordinary barbarian soldiers, right?
When Shen Hao came back to his senses, he suddenly found that the high-intensity attack and defense on the wall had receded a lot. The barbarians that had been rushing up endlessly had not shown up after dozens of breaths.
Could it be that the death of a Xuanhai realm monk really had such a big impact on the morale of the barbarians? Or are you worried about being directly penetrated by experts?
Shen Hao held a large shield in his hand and covered himself with a thick layer of zhenqi shield. He walked to the edge of the village wall and looked down. He was surprised to see the barbarians retreating like a tide.
"The barbarians retreated! Really retreated!"
Not only Shen Hao discovered what happened under the wall, but also many smart and bold people nearby. The loud shouting seemed to be a victory, but the more direct meaning was: no one can die for the time being.
After they breathed a sigh of relief, many people couldn't hold it any longer and slumped on the ground. Their expressions couldn't be told whether they were happy or sad. Some of the younger ones burst into tears. Men don't cry, but at this time, even in the army, which advocates breaking teeth and swallowing blood, no one laughs at those who cry.
It's such a terrifying situation between life and death, it's a good thing to cry and let it out.
Although Shen Hao was confused, he breathed a sigh of relief. At least for the time being, the upper military stronghold was held. It seemed that it was just noon. Could it be that one of Cheng Jinhou's arrangements had worked?
"Dong dong dong..."
The nerves that had just been loosened were tightened again by the sudden deafening sound of drums. Shen Hao quickly looked under the wall of the village. The barbarians were still retreating and had no intention of continuing to attack. What were they doing beating the drums at this time?
Those who received the news were the chief and the commander on the wall, and they immediately cheered up.
"Those who can still move, those who can ride horses and kill, go to the army's horse farm to get their horses and follow the army to fight out!"
The cavalry is useless when attacking and defending the military stronghold. It can only be used as infantry after dismounting. Now all the horses are kept at the horse farm in Junzhai. But the cavalry was already small, and after two consecutive battles there were even fewer left. Therefore, if you want to organize the power to chase and kill all the way, you can only choose people who can "horse and slash".
Shen Hao turned around and climbed down the wall without thinking.
"Shen Hao, where are you going?"
"Lead the horse, didn't you say you were going to go out to hunt? How could you miss me?" Shen Hao wiped the some solidified blood on his face and grinned, looking extremely ferocious. The three guards were also inexplicably a little worried. fear.
He was blocked in the door and brutally killed, and now he wants to run away? Shen Hao felt a surge of rage in his chest. He had to chase them out and let the barbarians have a taste of his knife.
The hostility and evil aura all over his body was particularly strong at this time. Even though the three guards were much higher in cultivation than Shen Hao, they couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. In the end, they could only attribute this evil aura to "Innateness".
As for worries. Shen Hao had it before, but now he is not worried at all. Cheng Jinhou used "noon" as the timeline to accurately divide the battle situation into two halves. The elder of Wanjuan Shushan named Xuan Tianqing was a trump card that had been hidden for a long time. Even Cheng Jinhou's injury to his arm last time must have been intentional.
Now that the time has come, the retreat of the barbarians will definitely not mean that they "cannot afford to die". With so many people dead, they chose to retreat when they saw that the stronghold was about to be broken. There must be some life-and-death danger that forced them to give up the battle that had already reached 90%. .
That's why Cheng Jinhou calmly beat the drum to chase the enemy.
Shen Hao soon saw his scattered personal guards under the village wall. There were more than thirty people before, but now there are less than twenty people left.
Went to the racecourse. The horses were brought by Shen Hao and the others before, and were later organized into a very mixed riding team. There were no detailed orders, it just said "pursue the enemy" within twenty miles.
This is very wanton.
The magic circle at the gate of the military stronghold was lifted, and the gate of the stronghold was opened wide. The cavalry, numbering only more than 300, flew out without any momentum, then spread out in a line and chased the barbarians retreating in front.
Are so many people useful?
Shen Hao controlled the horse's speed. He didn't need to compete for credit. His credit so far was enough. He was curious about the outcome, but where was Cheng Jinhou's confidence?
Soon, Shen Hao saw Cheng Jinhou's confidence.
A dark military formation in the distance to the east has appeared on the horizon, and a similarly dark military formation is approaching in the south.
Are reinforcements really coming?
Shen Hao told the guards around him not to rush forward blindly, but to keep riding at a neither fast nor slow speed in the middle and back of the line. At present, the military formation coming from the east is still quite far away. If we charge too hard, it will be funny if the barbarians counterattack desperately. We still need to check the situation first.
Changes came faster than Shen Hao thought. The barbarian army that was originally retreating toward the west suddenly became commotion, and its formation became obviously chaotic. Some barbarians on the edge even began to change direction and retreat toward the north.
Is this...a sign of retreat?
There are also military formations from the Jingjiu Dynasty coming to the west?
As a soldier in the army, Shen Hao, no matter how smart he is, cannot understand every change in the entire battlefield. He had no idea what kind of game the frontier army had played at what cost, nor would he understand that today's fierce offensive and defensive battle was the great opportunity that Cheng Jinhou had waited so hard for more than a month.
The ruins of the military camp's hit tower are already being cleared. Cheng Jinhou and Xuan Tianqing returned to the big tent.
"Will elders Wu Yuan and Yuan Qingyun be okay?" Cheng Jinhou still looked calm and relaxed as before, but the aggressive look in his eyes had disappeared. Instead, he was worried about Wu Yuan and Yuan Qingyun who had not returned yet. A master of Xuanhai Realm.
"Don't worry about them. There is no one in the army that the barbarians are attacking that can kill the two of them together. If you haven't returned now, you may have taken advantage and don't want to leave." When he was the flag officer, he was completely different. He had a sharp aura that ordinary people didn't have, and now he didn't need to cover it up.
