101: The strength of Shejian
"Bang!"
It was like a clap of thunder!
Atai flew dozens of meters away, creating a large crater in the ground!
Lin Yue only saw smoke and dust billowing in front of him; he had just seen a figure fall, and then Atai flew out.
Lin Yue stared intently ahead until the smoke and dust gradually dispersed, revealing a sturdy back.
"Lin Yue, you're not dead, are you?"
"General She Jian!" Lin Yue exclaimed in surprise.
"Good thing I arrived in time, otherwise another one would have died because of me," She Jian said with a smile.
The entire battlefield was silent, all stunned into speechlessness by this scene!
Suddenly, a green light flew towards Atai, who struggled and barely managed to stand up.
"Come on, aren't you very good at fighting?" She Jian asked Atai.
Atai shook his head and said, "Atai can't beat you."
"May I ask who you are, sir?" the young scholar asked.
She Jian smiled, ignoring the scholar's words, and instead shouted loudly!
"All Army, listen to my command!
Follow me to counterattack!"
"Yes!" Six tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, their voices echoing for thousands of miles!
Immediately after, She Jian grinned and ran towards Atai!
"Kill!" Lin Yue mounted his warhorse and, with six tens of thousands of cavalry, charged towards the enemy!
The counterattack began!
Atai looked at She Jian, who had sent him flying with one punch, running towards him, as if he had seen a devil!
Without a word, he picked up his great hammer and ran backward!
As he ran, he turned back and cried out to She Jian, "Don't come over here!"
Seeing this, the scholar waved his feather fan: "Charge! Save Atai!"
Seeing the enemy cavalry charging over, She Jian reluctantly gave up on the frantically fleeing Atai and instead charged into the enemy formation!
The two Armies clashed!
One side's morale was soaring, while the other was like a stream encountering a rock; upon seeing She Jian, they all scattered to the left and right!
A straight path was left in front of She Jian!
No one dared to face this demon god directly!
"Kill!" Lin Yue led the charge, slashing horizontally with his saber, cutting down a rebel from his horse!
As soon as the two Armies intersected, the rebel cavalry fell like harvested wheat under the slaughtering blades!
Pan Feng and Liu Sandao had already hidden to the side, watching the White Horse Righteous Cavalry constantly whizzing past them, feeling very frustrated.
"Where's A Rong?" Pan Feng suddenly asked.
"Is that him?" Liu Sandao pointed.
Not far from them, a ball of flesh was slowly rolling in the middle of the road, occasionally stopping to dodge when warhorses charged past.
"A Rong!" Pan Feng shouted. Taking advantage of the sparse numbers ahead, he found a gap and quickly ran to the middle to carry Xing Daorong back.
"Why are you like this?" Pan Feng asked after throwing Xing Daorong to the ground.
"That kid is too fierce, I don't have the strength to move," Xing Daorong said with a mournful face.
On the battlefield, the situation quickly became one-sided, with Lin Yue and others chasing and hunting the Mountain Bandit cavalry.
"Retreat!" She Jian shouted. Although everyone was not yet satisfied, they reined in their horses and returned upon hearing the command.
She Jian looked at the three dusty figures and asked sternly, "Without my order, who ordered the pursuit?"
Lin Yue and Xu Guang both took a step back simultaneously, leaving Lu Yun standing alone.
"Lu Yun!" She Jian shouted.
Lu Yun was startled. He looked left and right and found that Lin Yue and Xu Guang had already retreated to the back. He reluctantly said, "General, I didn't expect there to be an ambush!"
"Idiot! Do they need to notify you if they've set an ambush?" She Jian cursed.
Lin Yue and Xu Guang silently lowered their heads, their faces flushed.
The few of them had fought several battles too smoothly before, losing their vigilance. Now, they were actually outmaneuvered by a group of rebels, which was utterly disgraceful.
"All of you, get back! You're an embarrassment." She Jian grumbled and walked back, not wanting to waste any more words with them.
"Yes!" the three replied.
Lin Yue walked towards Pan Feng and the other two, feeling a little distressed as he looked at their equally dusty faces.
"Let's go back," Lin Yue sighed after helping the three onto their warhorses one by one.
"My lord, This humble general is incompetent and failed to protect my lord!" the three said.
"It's not your fault, you've already done very well." Lin Yue forced a smile and comforted the three... The few of them returned to their original position and found that the Golden Fire Cavalry behind them had already set up camp.
"Are you all back?" She Jian asked when he saw them.
The few of them nodded silently.
"A bunch of brainless fools, not knowing to wait for me to return before making a decision," She Jian sighed and said:
"The First Emperor has ordered our three Armies to encircle and annihilate the rebels. I didn't expect you to suddenly charge out!
Just barely, just barely, before the battle even began, half of my She Jian's subordinates would have been lost."
The few of them lowered their heads silently upon hearing this.
"This time was rushed, so I won't blame you. Tomorrow, in the decisive battle, you must show your spirit!" She Jian said.
"Decisive battle?" the three asked.
"Yes, I went to the Great General earlier, and the Great General has already made arrangements.
General Nangong Lei has already compressed the front line and concentrated his troops in two places.
On the Xianyang side, The First Emperor has sent two Armies of the Garrison Army to block their retreat, forming an encirclement.
And what we need to do is to smash through their formation from behind and deliver a heavy blow to them!" She Jian said with a smile.
"What, are you surprised?" She Jian asked with a smile when he saw the incredulous expressions on their faces.
"Why did the imperial court send so many people?" Lu Yun asked.
"Do you know how many rebels there are here?" She Jian asked.
Seeing them shake their heads, She Jian continued, "The bandits have a million troops, occupy two counties, and have coerced countless common people!"
"What?" the three exclaimed in shock!
"As early as two months ago, this place was captured.
The First Emperor deliberately allowed the situation to escalate, using it to draw out the remnants of the Six States and the rebels. That's why they are still alive today." She Jian smiled, his face full of reverence for The First Emperor.
"You don't need to worry too much. Nangong Lei and the Garrison Army have already subtly formed an encirclement, and they can't escape.
You only need to pay attention to their leader. I hear this person is highly skilled in martial arts, dominates Shanggu, and rarely meets an opponent. So far, no one has been able to last three moves under his hands. You must be careful.
If you really encounter him, don't be foolish enough to charge forward alone. Order the Army to unleash several volleys, then charge. After tens of thousands of people, even the most powerful martial general cannot escape death." She Jian glanced at Lin Yue and said.
"Yes!" the three nodded.
Although Lin Yue felt a bit reluctant, what She Jian said was indeed the best method to deal with a super martial general on the battlefield. Otherwise, if the main general dies, morale will scatter, and even more people will die!
"May I ask, General, what are this person's characteristics?" Lu Yun asked. Ever since he encountered Atai, he had been wary of such martial generals.
"This person is tall, imposing, and wields a Fangtian Halberd! You must remember to stay away from him." She Jian said.
"Yes!" the three said in unison.
"Good, go down and rest. We'll assemble at dawn tomorrow." She Jian waved his hand, and the three retreated.
