Chapter 22: Battlefield Blood Tide

ot by their own report. Instead, there was no return from those in that direction.Continuing in the same direction, Tamu had reached halfway when he discovered that scouts from the other direction had...At night, the north wind howled wildly across the wasteland. Even with thick padded coats, the biting cold was hard to resist.

Therefore, many people do not take off their clothes and directly wrap themselves in cotton-padded jackets to doze off in sheltered places from the wind.

Inside the tent, Mu Yinghua was still wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket and kept breathing heavily.

To reduce the chances of being discovered, Xiao He ordered that no fires be lit within the camp. As a result, many people could only endure the cold.

All were soldiers, and under their vigorous qi and blood, they didn't suffer much. It was just poor Princess Mu Yinghua who shivered from the cold.

"Your Highness, you are holding my hand."

"Huh" Although she was confused, Mu Yinghua still pulled Zhang Liyang's hand when he reached out to her.

"So warm!"

The instant Mu Yinghua's hand met Zhang Liyang's, she felt like she was holding a furnace. She immediately reached out with her other hand to grasp Zhang Liyang's palm as well.

This is Zhang Liyang drumming up the qi and blood within his body, making his entire being as warm as a furnace.

Looking at Mu Yinghua who was no longer trembling, Zhang Liyang thought to himself, maybe it was time for him to start cultivating too.

Zhang Liyang can't possibly be by Mu Yinghua's side every second of every day. The only way to face all the difficulties is to become stronger yourself.

I just don't know if Mu Yinghua will be able to learn the Five Emperor Rotating Sutra when I pass it on to her.

Zhang Liyang's Five Emperors Rotating Sutra, in fact, when clicking to learn in the system, the body completely ignores the requirements of aptitude and learns it.

Zhang Liyang's cultivation aptitude was the opposite of others. While others had talent and could cultivate, Zhang Liyang only developed his aptitude after he began cultivating.

This is also Zhang Liyang's worry that Mu Yinghua cannot cultivate the Five Emperors Wheel Turning Sutra.

Whew, whew~.

A soft murmur came, Zhang Liyang turned his head and saw that Mu Yinghua had already fallen asleep. However, her body, driven by instinct, kept moving closer to Zhang Liyang, wanting to get closer to this warm furnace.

A beauty was in his arms, but Zhang Liyang remained unmoved, like an old monk in deep meditation. The start of the technique's transfer was only a matter of moving before entering deep meditation, just before Zhang Liyang once again harshly cursed all the female members of heaven's family.

Gurgle, gurgle~.

In the middle of the night, a stomach growl made one of the soldiers uncomfortably stand up and go to a secluded spot.

"Sān'ér, where are you going"

"Head and stomach ache."

Hurry back, don't go too far.

"Understood, head."

This soldier had just left for a while, and the rumbling of stomachs could be heard again in the camp. Soon after, another soldier stood up and ran into the darkness to take care of it.

Then, as if a chain reaction had been set off, one soldier after another stood up with their stomachs rumbling.

Such an abnormal situation immediately caught Xiao Heshan's attention, "Wasn't the water source checked and found to be alright"

"Sir, we don't know either. We did do tests at the time, and there were no problems, but we don't know why..."

"That's enough. Have everyone stand up and get ready, the enemy is coming."

It's no longer important to investigate why so many soldiers are suffering from stomachaches. What matters most now is how to meet the enemy's attack.

"Your Highness!"

The camp was noisy. Zhang Liyang discovered this right away, and Mu Yinghua, who wasn't asleep deeply either, woke up at the same time.

"Are enemies attacking again"

After the attack, Mu Yinghua was no longer as panicked as before. Although her body was still trembling slightly, she had calmed down considerably.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, General Xiao has over a thousand cavalry under his command. Nothing will happen to them."

"Uh huh."

Zhang Liyang comforted Mu Yinghua inside the tent while waiting for her to come out. It was not safe to stay in the tent with the enemy attacking.

"Your Highness, mount your horse."

"Good."

For this kind of thing, Mu Yinghua listened to Zhang Liyang throughout the process. Whatever Zhang Liyang said, Mu Yinghua did.

When I brought Mu Yinghua to Xiao Heshan's side, I found that his face was not looking well. "General Xiao, what's wrong"

He cast a glance at Mu Yinghua beside Zhang Liyang, and Xiao He Shan leaned closer to Zhang Liyang's side and whispered, "The situation is not good. We don't know what caused the soldiers to be poisoned. Now, almost half of the soldiers are having stomach problems, and their strength has dropped significantly."

Hearing Xiao He Shan's words, Zhang Li Yang also became serious. "Have we found out anything about the enemy"

"No, but I have sent out scouts. I believe we will hear back soon."

As soon as Xiao He's words fell, the sound of hooves arose, and a scout rode in on horseback to report.

"Report, my lord, enemy tracks were found three miles outside the city."

"How many people are on the other side"

There were about three hundred cavalry, and an estimated two thousand others.

Damn it!

Upon hearing the scout's report, Xiao He roared in anger and drew his long spear from atop his warhorse. "Everyone, assemble!"

"Zhang Gonggong, the other side is clearly prepared for battle. When the fighting begins, I may not be able to take care of everything over there, Your Highness..."

"General Xiao, rest assured, I'm here with His Highness."

Okay, thank you!

Although Zhang Liyang agreed, Xiao Heshan still dispatched fifty cavalrymen to Zhang Liyang's side to specifically protect Mu Yinghua. Cai Ning's side was also assigned fifty cavalrymen.

As for the rest, although most of the soldiers were pale and holding their stomachs, they still assembled under Xiao He's command.

Boom boom boom~

The ground trembled slightly, and under the moonlight, a black line appeared on one side of the barren wasteland. It was the enemy attacking!

"Everyone, I'm Feng. Follow me!"

Sitting idly waiting for death was not Xiao Heshan's style, so when he discovered the enemy's tracks, Xiao Heshan immediately took the lead, wielding his spear and charging into battle.

The rest of the soldiers followed Xiao Heshan, waving their weapons and charging forward together.

Although the night is not suitable for riding, now is not the time to choose the hour.

As the buzzing sound arose, Zhang Liyang saw a black cloud rising into the sky. He immediately pulled Mu Yinghua's war horse back and retreated.

Zhang Liyang saw it clearly, that was the enemy's arrow rain!

It's very clear that the enemy is well-armed at this time, and they have no intention of taking prisoners!

Under the rain of arrows, charging cavalrymen fell to the ground from time to time, only to be trampled into a bloody pulp by the horses charging behind them.

The cavalry, already weakened by poisoning, fell to nearly three hundred in just a matter of two or three li.

Having discarded Zhang Liyang and Cai Ning's hundred cavalry, Xiao He Shan was left with less than six hundred cavalry, most of whom were poisoned.

Brothers, follow me and charge!

Having witnessed his brother fall from his horse and be turned into a bloody mess, Xiao He Shan's eyes turned bloodshot with rage. Killing intent surged within him, and the long spear in his hand almost transformed into lightning. With a single thrust, he pierced through the throat of a cavalryman facing him.

"Kill!"

Both sides immediately clashed, and the battlefield was instantly awash with blood.iyang sighed inwardly, while Huian was filled with astonishment!"Amitabha, what kind of monster is this!"Hui'an kept a calm facade, but inside she was in turmoil, utterly shocked.At the same time, und...
