346: Chapter 346 Expert Assistance

"Xu Zhen! You hold this position, I'm taking some men to support the east!"

General Zhao Kuan didn't offer any further explanation, leading a troop straight toward the eastern battlefield.

But no matter how fast they moved, they were already too late. Turile, leading his most elite cavalry, had already utilized the excellent quality of their warhorses to charge up the slope!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Although crossbow bolts were fired continuously, these Barbarian Army soldiers were clad in thick armor. Most of the arrows, unless they struck a vital spot, were unable to interrupt their charge.

As the melee began, many Militia soldiers were decapitated by scimitars!

A wild, excited glint flashed in Turile's eyes. As long as he broke through, he was confident he could wreak havoc in the Northern Territory!

"Kill! Kill all the Central Plains people! Avenge the Khan!"

The Barbarian Army cavalrymen were also stirred into a beastly frenzy by the blood.

Compared to regular troops, the Militia's combat power was clearly no match for them, making the slaughter even easier for the invaders.

As a Militia colonel, Colonel Liu Kun saw many brothers he knew die tragically, and his eyes turned red.

"I'll fight you all to the death!"

He didn't care about staying behind to protect the two women anymore and charged forward with his blade drawn.

Just then, two figures flashed past him!

"Colonel Liu! We'll go with you!"

Su Wansha and Xie Juner had only just reacted. This was their first time experiencing the charge of the Northern Barbarian cavalry at such close range, and they had been stunned initially.

After all, in their previous lives, they had always been the ones being protected.

Coming to their senses, the two women realized they were here to fight; how could they be scared!?

"You two! No!" Colonel Liu, seeing the two women running ahead, hurriedly tried to dissuade them.

But at that moment, a group of Barbarian Army soldiers who had broken through the defense line rushed toward them, covered in blood and waving scimitars, intending to cut them down!

It was a critical moment!

Xie Juner suddenly took the guqin from her back, leaped into the air, and with the instrument suspended in front of her, her hands plucked the strings rapidly!

"Clang! Clang!"

Several invisible sound waves transformed into heart-shattering, soul-destroying death warrants!

"Pfft! Pfft!..."

The few Barbarian Army soldiers at the front vomited blood and died without even knowing how!

Before Colonel Liu could even be dumbfounded, Su Wansha had already charged alone into another group of Barbarian Army soldiers!

She swung her sword, and a golden-red flame erupted around her.

The sword didn't even touch the Barbarian Army soldiers, but the fired blade ignited them all!

Accompanied by the screams of the Barbarian Army, Su Wansha spun and danced like a fire phoenix, dancing gracefully across the battlefield while dealing lethal damage!

Colonel Liu and the Militia were stunned!

Even if they were slow to react, they could see that the two women were truly martial arts experts!

Turile naturally noticed the two women's high-level martial arts and immediately led his team to charge over.

"Separate them! Kill them one by one!"

Turile leaped from his warhorse, took a few tiger-like strides forward, and slashed at Xie Juner!

Based on his experience, cultivators who used musical instruments were not skilled in close combat and were easier to kill.

Xie Juner retreated while playing a few notes, but the sound waves were forcibly scattered by Turile's blade energy.

Seeing he was within three feet, Turile suddenly changed his tempo, delivering a fierce slash toward Xie Juner's face!

At this life-and-death moment, Xie Juner felt surprisingly calm, her mind crystal clear.

She tilted her body, and her slender hand suddenly drew a long, thin fine-iron sword from behind the guqin!

She had asked her brother, Xie Yu, to customize this for her, creating a slot behind the guqin to store this thin sword.

From childhood until now, this was the only time she felt having a carpenter brother was quite good.

She swung her sword in an upward slash, creating a moon-like arc. With a "ding," relying on the sword's own flexibility, she deflected Turile's attack!

At the same time, Xie Juner held the qin with her left hand and plucked two strings with her fingers!

"Boom! Boom!"

Two blasts of true energy hit Turile's chest at close range, spurting out two sprays of blood!

Turile felt the pain and kicked out violently, but Xie Juner nimbly dodged it with a backflip!

She danced gracefully, spinning to position the qin in front of her, and played three more true energy ripples in mid-air!

Turile hastily blocked, but one of them hit his abdomen, carving out a bloody gash!

Just as he looked up, he saw the guqin spinning in front of him, blocking his view.

Xie Juner's figure was gone!?

The next moment, a flash of silver streaked past Turile's side, and Xie Juner slashed his throat!

Xie Juner beckoned to the guqin, and it flew back into her hands. The girl didn't linger; seeing the battle was still deadlocked, she hurriedly charged toward the remaining Barbarian Army soldiers!

Until the moment he died, Turile couldn't understand what kind of martial art that was!

In fact, Colonel Liu and the Militia who watched Xie Juner kill Turile were also dumbfounded!

It felt like she had played a song, dancing and fencing at times, elegant and composed, and she had killed the enemy general!?

General Zhao Kuan, who had just arrived halfway, happened to see the scene of Xie Juner taking down Turile with one sword stroke.

Just as he was feeling incredulous, he heard screams coming from the Barbarian Army formation!?

He saw a giant Red Lotus of Karma blooming intensely amidst a group of Barbarian Army soldiers who hadn't yet charged up the slope!

Su Wansha had just descended from the sky, holding her sword with both hands, and stabbed the ground; the Red Lotus of Karma bloomed right there!

The scorching heat made people think they had suddenly entered summer!

"Is... is it really them!?"

No matter how bizarre General Zhao Kuan thought it was, he had to believe that the two women were the "experts" Xiao Qingxuan spoke of!

With this kind of strength, even if they weren't Martial Arts Grandmasters, they were likely not far off!

"Wansha! Husband said that your Red Lotus of Karma consumes too much energy; you can't use it too much at once!"

Xie Juner, seeing her close friend unleash a powerful move, hurriedly reminded her.

Su Wansha was sweating on her forehead and nodded: "I know."

She had been anxious, seeing so many Barbarian Army soldiers constantly charging up and killing the Militia on their side, so she wanted to end the battle quickly.

"Your general is dead! Surrender and you will be spared!"

General Zhao Kuan roared, making many Barbarian Army soldiers realize that Turile was finished.

Sure enough, many Barbarian Army soldiers suddenly showed hesitation in their eyes, and their charging speed slowed down abruptly.

Su Wansha and Xie Juner looked back, saw that General Zhao Kuan had arrived, and felt much more at ease.

But many in the Barbarian Army were fearless of death; the hesitation lasted only a moment before they immediately charged forward again, regardless of their lives.

"Damn it... Brothers! Fight the barbarians to the death!"

Seeing this, General Zhao Kuan knew it was a life-or-death struggle today, so he raised his spear and led his troops into the fray.

With two "experts" helping, the Zhenbei Army side regained their confidence and engaged in a chaotic battle with the Barbarian Army!

Meanwhile.

South of Baishui, on a hilltop.

Xiao Qingxuan, dressed in a black, form-fitting martial arts uniform, with her dark hair tied with a blue ribbon, dressed as a man, stood proudly on a cliff.

From her position, she could see the battlefields near Wansong County and other areas.

"It's about what I expected. Marshal Suhe chose to take the long way around with half his forces."

"He must be planning to use our cement roads to travel at high speed and enter the hinterland of the Northern Territory."

"He doesn't intend to fight our Zhenbei Army to the last man, and we have no way to keep them all here."

Leng Bingyan stood behind her, frowning: "Yes, the enemy has too many troops, and our front line is limited no matter how much we stretch it."

"So, the key is still to deal with Marshal Suhe. Only by stopping him will we have a chance to prevent the Barbarian Army from slaughtering indiscriminately."

Xiao Qingxuan turned back: "Yaner, your martial arts are high and you are skilled at commanding. Go help Wei Dongxue in the south, and I will go after Marshal Suhe."

Leng Bingyan knew the current strength of her Empress, so she had no objections.

"Be careful, he likely has experts by his side."

"Hmm!"

Xiao Qingxuan didn't say much more, drifting down the mountain. In the cold wind, a faint blue aura shimmered around her, and her figure suddenly accelerated, like a black swift...
