Ye Chen quickly picked up Aye Lin’s head and hung it at his waist. At this moment, he noticed that the city wall of Yunzhou had already been occupied by the Tartar forces, and he immediately realized what had happened.
Given the size of Yunzhou’s army, it would be impossible for the Tartar forces to breach the city in such a short time. It was clear that An Lushui had ordered the abandonment of the city.
“Damn it, that traitorous dog who doesn’t care about the country’s interests!” Even Ye Chen couldn’t help but curse.
“Your Highness, what should we do now?”
Old Huang’s voice sounded, and Ye Chen turned his attention back to Yunzhou City.
On the city wall of Yunzhou, Agusa and Batul, who had witnessed Ye Chen killing Aye Lin, were both enraged.
Agusa immediately gave the order: “Kill that Chu man! Whoever kills him, I will reward them with a hundred heads of cattle!”
Batul, also furious, drew his saber and shouted, “Charge!”
In an instant, the Tartar soldiers who had just climbed the city wall turned their spears and all rushed towards Ye Chen.
The Tartar army had sustained only three thousand casualties during the siege, and there were still at least seven thousand soldiers charging forward. Even if Ye Chen was valiant, it was futile.
“Zhao Yun, Xu Da, immediately pursue the Yunzhou defenders, capture An Lushui, and have the Yunzhou defenders come to our aid!”
“Yes!”
Zhao Yun and Xu Da were fierce generals capable of advancing and retreating seven times. If they were determined to break through the encirclement, almost no one could stop them.
At this moment, the main Tartar forces had all rushed out of the city. To Zhao Yun and Xu Da, their attack was not very intense.
Their goal was to kill Ye Chen, who had slain the Fourth Prince Aye Lin!
“Kill!”
Faced with the tidal wave of Tartar forces, Ye Chen remained unafraid. Behind him were only eight hundred brave warriors, but none of them retreated. They were all prepared for battle with the Tartar forces.
The Tartar soldiers quickly closed in, and Ye Chen engaged them in close combat.
Shing!
Ye Chen swiftly swung his blade, killing the first Tartar soldier. But soon, the Tartar soldiers surrounded him.
Similar to the previous encirclement tactics, the Tartar soldiers surrounded Ye Chen completely. If just one person struck, Ye Chen would be doomed.
But Ye Chen was not the same as before!
Previously, Ye Chen had to deal with encirclement one by one, but now it was much easier for him.
“Four-Sided Slash!”
Ye Chen gathered all his strength into his great blade. Before the Tartar soldiers could launch their attacks, Ye Chen unleashed the Four-Sided Slash!
Shing! Shing! Shing!
In an instant, blood and flesh flew. The Tartar soldiers who had surrounded Ye Chen were all slaughtered. Countless severed limbs and broken arms were scattered around. The Tartar soldiers were deeply shocked by this scene.
“What… what kind of sorcery is this?!”
A soldier, terrified, tried to retreat, but was immediately struck down by the execution squad, who dealt with him mercilessly.
The execution squad roared, “Kill him and the general will reward you with a hundred heads of cattle. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed on the spot!”
Under the pressure of the execution squad, the Tartar soldiers, despite their fear, closed in on Ye Chen again.
“Four-Sided Slash!”
Ye Chen used the Four-Sided Slash again, once more clearing out the encircling Tartar soldiers. In just these two Four-Sided Slashes, Ye Chen had eliminated at least a hundred Tartar soldiers!
However, despite Ye Chen’s thunderous assault on the Tartar soldiers, countless more rushed in like mad dogs scenting blood, attacking Ye Chen relentlessly.
“This won’t do!”
Ye Chen noticed that the eight hundred men behind him were also in a tough battle and would soon be wiped out.
No matter how powerful Ye Chen was, he could not quickly eliminate thousands of enemies.
“The only way now is to capture the leader to catch the bandit!”
Ye Chen quickly identified two generals among the Tartar army, who were continuously issuing orders and must be the leaders of this army.
With this thought, Ye Chen struck a Four-Sided Slash to disrupt the Tartar soldiers’ formation and then charged forward like a battlefield bulldozer.
Everywhere he went, blood and flesh flew. No matter how many there were, they could not stop Ye Chen even for a breath!
Shing! Shing! Shing!
Ye Chen moved forward while swinging his great blade towards Agusa and Batul, and the Tartar soldiers in his path were awed by his unmatched bravery.
“What is he, a demon or a man?”
“He’s coming! Run away!”
“Help! Help!”
……
Faced with Ye Chen alone, the thousands of Tartar soldiers were overcome with fear. Whenever Ye Chen approached, they quickly made way, fearing his attacks would hit them.
【Congratulations, host, on obtaining the title ‘Battlefield Shura,’ which increases the enemy’s fear.】
“Battlefield Shura? Just what I needed!”
At this moment, Ye Chen, covered in splattered blood and exuding murderous intent, charged forward.
“Tartar generals, come and face me!”
Ye Chen roared, shaking the battlefield!
At this moment, no one was not afraid of Ye Chen’s might, and everyone wanted to flee first!
Facing such a dire situation, Agusa and Batul, as the Tartar leaders, had to toughen up. Seeing their soldiers retreat, they immediately gave orders:
“Don’t retreat! Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed on the spot!”
Ye Chen was now only a hundred meters away from them. Hearing the command, he snorted coldly, “You should first take care of yourselves!”
“Four-Sided Slash, Void Slash!”
Combining both techniques, Ye Chen instantly cleared a path between himself and the two Tartar generals, with no obstacles remaining.
“Void Slash!”
Ye Chen sped forward rapidly. The Void Slash was almost instantaneous, and Agusa and Batul had no time to react.
Shing! Shing!
The sounds of blades piercing throats were heard, and the Tartar soldiers saw their revered generals’ heads flying high in the air.
“General… the general is dead!”
“That man is a demon! A demon!”
“Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!”
……
Ye Chen hung Agusa and Batul on his waist like Aye Lin. The once fierce Tartar soldiers lost their will to fight and had no intention of resisting, despite their still large number of six thousand.
At this moment, the Tartar soldiers’ morale was completely shattered. They discarded their helmets and armor and fled the battlefield. Ye Chen seized the opportunity to clear out the Tartar soldiers.
However, human strength was ultimately limited. Even if Ye Chen’s power was immense, killing a thousand men was a great achievement.
“Must we let them escape like this?”
Ye Chen, unwilling to relent, executed another Four-Sided Slash, claiming the lives of another hundred. Yet, he could not stop the general tide of the Tartar soldiers’ retreat.
“Your Highness, we are here to assist you!”
At this moment, the Yunzhou defenders’ flag once again fluttered on the city wall. Zhao Yun and Xu Da led five thousand Yunzhou troops flying out.
“Your Highness, we have captured An Lushui and he is now in the camp!”
“Good!”
Ye Chen nodded excitedly, then pointed at the fleeing Tartar soldiers: “First, eliminate the remaining Tartar troops!”
“Yes!”
With Ye Chen’s order, the five thousand Yunzhou troops charged northward, driven by boundless rage to thoroughly wipe out the remaining Tartar forces.
Ye Chen led the charge, and any Tartar soldier who crossed his path was met with death. Coupled with the fear instilled by the Battlefield Shura title, many Tartar soldiers were stumbling even as they tried to escape.
“Kill them all!”
Ye Chen, filled with high spirits and leading the Yunzhou troops, pursued relentlessly until reaching Black Wind Mountain, where the remaining Tartar troops were cornered and could only surrender.
