NFBE Chapter 1128 Pursuit
Chapter 1128 Pursuit
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The army behind Shen Ce also roared, and the soldiers rushed towards the Beidi soldiers with spears and swords in their hands.
The two armies instantly clashed, swords flashing and blood and flesh flying everywhere. The battlefield was filled with the clanging of weapons, the shouts and screams of soldiers. Snow was splattered by the trampling of horses' hooves, blood dyed the ground red, and the entire area below Yanmen Pass became a living hell.
Shen Ce charged forward, spear in hand. His spearmanship was incredibly sharp, his moves exquisite. Wherever the tip of his spear touched, Northern Di soldiers fell from their horses, and no one could withstand a single blow from him. A Northern Di soldier, brandishing a scimitar, swung at Shen Ce's head. Shen Ce dodged sideways and thrust his spear forward, piercing the soldier's chest. The soldier screamed, fell from his horse, and was instantly crushed to a pulp by the horses behind him.
Two more Beidi soldiers attacked Shen Ce from both sides. Shen Ce showed no fear. The spear in his hand was like a nimble silver snake, stabbing left and right, and soon knocked the two soldiers off their horses. His movements were clean and neat, and every time he fired his spear, he could take a life.
Zhao Hu followed Shen Ce and was filled with admiration for his bravery. He brandished a large sword, beheading the Northern Di soldiers around him, and shouted, "General, you are mighty! Brothers, follow me!"
The soldiers were encouraged and their morale was even higher. Like a tiger descending from a mountain, they launched a fierce attack on the Northern Di soldiers. Although the Northern Di soldiers were fierce, they gradually became unable to hold on under the impact of Shen Ce's army, and their formation began to become chaotic.
Agula saw this scene from behind and was furious. He had not expected that Shen Ce's army would be so brave and powerful that his own cavalry could not resist for even a moment. He knew that if this continued, his army would surely be defeated.
"Waste! All of you waste!" Agula cursed angrily, dismounted, and rushed towards Shen Ce in person with a huge battle axe in hand. Agula was tall and powerful, and the battle axe in his hand weighed dozens of pounds. Every time he swung it, it brought with it a strong sound of wind, as if it was splitting the air.
"Shen Ce, this Khan is here to meet you!" Agula roared, and the battle axe slashed towards Shen Ce's head.
Shen Ce heard the sound and looked up, only to see a dark shadow slashing towards him. Not wanting to be careless, he quickly raised his spear to block Agula's battle axe. There was a loud "clang" sound, sparks flew everywhere, and Shen Ce felt his arm go numb, and his horse was also shaken back a few steps.
"What strength!" Shen Ce was secretly surprised. He didn't expect Agula to be so brave.
When Agula saw that his axe attack failed, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he showed a cruel smile: "I didn't expect you to have some skills, but you will eventually die under this Khan's axe!" After that, he waved the axe again and attacked Shen Ce.
Agula's swordsmanship was fierce and domineering, and each move carried a devastating momentum, as if to split Shen Ce in half. Shen Ce, however, was not afraid at all. He relied on his agile body to continuously maneuver under Agula's battle axe. His spear was like a venomous snake, sometimes stabbing at Agula's chest, sometimes darting at Agula's wrist, each move aimed at Agula's vital points.
The two fought for dozens of rounds, but it was still difficult to determine the winner. Agula gradually became impatient. His physical strength was greatly depleted, and his breathing became rapid. Although Shen Ce was also a little tired, he still maintained a clear mind and stared at Agula closely, looking for his flaws.
Finally, during a clash, Agula's eagerness to win caused a flaw in his moves. Shen Ce seized this opportunity, lunged forward, and the spear in his hand pierced Agula's left shoulder like an arrow.
With a "puff," the spear pierced through Agula's armor and penetrated deeply into his left shoulder. Blood gushed out instantly, staining Agula's black mink coat red.
"Ah--" Agula let out a shrill scream. He felt a piercing pain in his left shoulder. He could no longer hold the battle axe in his hand and it fell to the ground with a "clang".
Shen Ce drew out his spear, took a few steps back, and looked at Agula coldly.
Agula clutched his bleeding left shoulder, his eyes filled with fear and anger. He knew that he was no match for Shen Ce, and if he continued to fight, he would surely die here. He glanced at the defeated Beidi soldiers around him, and a wave of despair surged in his heart.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Agula no longer had the arrogance he had before. He endured the pain, jumped on his horse, turned the horse's head, and fled to the north.
When the Northern Di soldiers saw the Khan was wounded and fled, their morale was immediately shaken and they no longer had the courage to fight. They dropped their weapons and turned to flee north.
"Chase! We can't let them run away!" Shen Ce shouted and took the lead on horseback to chase after them.
"Chase!" The soldiers also spurred their horses and followed in the direction of the fleeing Northern Di soldiers.
The army pursued them for dozens of miles. The Northern Di soldiers panicked and lost their way. Some fell into ice holes, some were trampled to death by horses, and some were killed by Shen Ce's army. The battlefield was littered with the bodies of Northern Di soldiers and discarded weapons and food.
Shen Ce looked at the tragic scene before him without a trace of pity. These Northern Di soldiers had their hands stained with the blood of the people of Dayan. Their fate was well deserved.
The pursuit continued until dark, when Shen Ce finally called a halt. By this time, the soldiers had already killed countless Northern Di soldiers and seized a large amount of horses, food, and weapons.
Shen Ce reined in his horse and looked at the dark horizon in the distance. A trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes, but also a hint of relief. He knew that they had won this battle, Yanmen Pass had been saved, and the people of the northern border were temporarily safe.
"General, we won!" Zhao Hu rode his horse to Shen Ce's side and said excitedly. His face was covered in blood and dust, but he still couldn't hide the joy in his heart.
Shen Ce nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, we won. However, we cannot be careless. The Northern Di people will not give up so easily. We must continue to strengthen our defenses, guard Yanmen Pass, and protect the people of the northern border."
"Yes! General, don't worry, we will definitely guard Yanmen Pass!" Zhao Hu said firmly.
Shen Ce turned his horse and looked towards Yanmen Pass. At this time, Yanmen Pass had returned to peace. The lights on the city walls flickered like stars in the darkness, guiding them home. He took a deep breath and spurred his horse towards Yanmen Pass. He knew that there was still much to do, and his mission had just begun.
