55. Chapter 55 Bloody Battle
Ma Hu thought that he had 500 people here and Yan Cheng only had 300 useless people. He couldn't suffer any loss, so he decided to teach these people a lesson today.
So he drew his sword directly, but as soon as he showed the weapon, he was kicked away by Yan Cheng, and he stumbled to the ground.
"Li Daniu! How dare you..." He looked at Yan Cheng's frightening eyes and did not dare to speak.
I can only order the people under my command: "Why are you still standing there? Beat him!"
"This... this..." Others knew Yan Cheng's ability and did not dare to step forward easily.
Yan Cheng grabbed the hem of Ma Hu's clothes and said sternly: "Do you think you guys can hurt me at all? I advise you to stay calm, otherwise this abyss will be your burial place!"
"Li...Li Daniu, I...I am your superior officer, how dare you..."
Yan Cheng showed Pang Ao's token: "Do you think I dare?"
He came over and whispered in his ear: "Then we will say that you were killed by the Nanyi people, so why not?"
After hearing this, Ma Hu turned pale: "You..."
Yan Cheng let him go, stood up and ordered: "Everyone should be on guard. If anyone neglects their duties..."
He looked back at Ma Hu and said word by word: "Kill without mercy!"
After hearing this, Chen Wujin led the people to disperse, and each guarded various places in the canyon. The remaining people dispersed in anger when they saw that Ma Hu was silent.
Careless looked at Yan Chenghen, who was commanding everywhere, his teeth itching, and secretly swore in his heart that one day he would die without a burial place.
Time passed by, and the entire canyon was so quiet that even the chirping of birds could not be heard, let alone the trace of the Nanyi people.
"There are no ghosts here. I think we should be able to return to camp soon." Chen Wujin said.
Bai Qilang agreed: "Maybe there was a great victory at Mangshan Pass and His Highness King Qi has returned in triumph."
Laiji breathed a sigh of relief: "Then none of us have to die!"
Yan Cheng glanced at them and said, "Don't take it lightly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his ears moved and he asked, "Did you hear anything?"
Chen Wujin and others listened carefully and shook their heads: "There is no sound!"
Yan Cheng stood up warily, looked up at the surrounding cliffs, and finally discovered that the sound was coming from deep in the canyon.
He walked over and looked into the dark abyss, only to feel a cold air rushing up, accompanied by bursts of fishy smell.
The sound from the bottom of the abyss became clearer and clearer, and everyone else heard it and gathered around.
Someone whispered:
"They can't be Nanyi people, right? Are they ghosts? They climbed up from the ground!"
Yan Cheng pulled out his sword and signaled with his eyes that everyone should silence themselves and prepare for battle.
Everyone drew their swords and looked nervously into the deep and dark canyon.
Suddenly, Yan Cheng saw countless glowing red eyes appearing in the darkness, accompanied by the slightest sound.
"Back off!" he shouted, and dozens of venomous snakes crawled out of the abyss.
"Snake!" Everyone was shocked and ran in panic.
A steady stream of snakes crawled out from the abyss, spitting out their messages, and jumped into the air to attack people. For a while, there was a fight between humans and snakes.
"Look, what is that?" Someone yelled again in fear.
Yan Cheng looked up and saw someone flying down from the cliff like a giant eagle. The crossbow swords in his hands fell like raindrops. Many people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
"Nanyi people can really fly?" Chen Wujin asked in surprise.
Yan Cheng looked at the huge black wings and said: "Flying kite!"
While resisting the crossbow arrows, he shouted: "Hurry up and fire the arrows!"
"That's right! Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows!" the frightened Sloppy Horse quickly ordered.
"Yes!" A soldier tremblingly took out a rattling arrow, but was hit by a crossbow before he could pull it open, and the rattling arrow also rolled into the group of snakes.
Seeing that the defense was out of control, Yan Cheng quickly shouted: "Guard the valley entrance!"
Right now we can only hold on to the valley entrance until reinforcements arrive.
"Okay! Guard the valley entrance!" Ma Hu said: "Li Daniu, hold on, I will lead people to guard the valley entrance! Everyone follow me!"
After that, under the cover of others, we retreated towards the mouth of the valley.
"Damn it, this guy named Ma ran away!" Chen Wujin cursed.
"Leave him alone! Wujin, come and help me!" Bai Qilang, who was trapped among the snakes, said urgently.
Yan Cheng looked up at the flying kite man above, took the bow, and set three arrows on it. The sharp arrows cut through the wind and pierced the clouds. One missed the target, and the other two hit the two people. The flying kite, which lost control, fell down at a very fast speed.
, fell to pieces.
He nocked the arrow again and aimed...
Seeing this, the Feiyuan people changed their aerial shooting strategy and swooped down to fight. More and more Nanyi people entered the valley with the help of Feiyuan from the cliff.
Standing at the mouth of the valley and watching the bloody battle in the valley, Yan Cheng smiled evilly.
"Brother Tiger, let's shoot the noise arrow!" Li San took out the noise arrow and prepared to pull it away.
Sloppy snatched it away: "Wait a little longer!"
"What are you waiting for? If you wait any longer, we will fall!"
"Isn't Li Daniu very capable? How many Nanyi people can he still handle?"
"Can……"
"Li San!" Ma Hu said: "If Li Daniu had not died, who would have taken the credit for guarding the canyon?"
"Brother Hu means..."
Ma Hu said coldly: "I said, wait a minute, don't you understand?"
"yes!"
Before long, more than half of the three hundred people led by Yan Cheng were dead or injured. Bai Qilang was poisoned by snake venom and was dying. Chen Wujin and Lai Er were also injured, but the Nanyi people continued to fly down from the cliff.
Yan Cheng's right arm was injured, and his white robe was soaked with blood. The Nanyi people surrounded the remaining people and were about to annihilate them all.
"Brother Tiger, what should I do?" Li San was trembling with fear.
When Ma Hu saw that Yan Cheng could not hold on any longer and was sure to die, he said: "Fire the arrows! Get out!"
"Are we just going to withdraw like this?" Li San said, "If the reinforcements cannot arrive, wouldn't it be..."
Sloppy shouted: "We are going back to report the news, do you understand?"
Li Sannuo promised: "Yes! Then let's retreat quickly!"
I thought that after all, the blame fell on me from above, and I still had Careless shouldering the responsibility.
Pang Ao, who was fighting fiercely at Mangshan Pass, was shocked when he heard the sound of arrows.
Xiao Jingchen stretched out his hand to wipe away the blood on his face and ordered Pang Ao to lead his troops to support.
Motu is losing ground here, and he believes that the battle will be over soon.
"Yes!" Pang Ao accepted the order. But at this moment, an arrow was shot. Xiao Jingchen raised his head to hide, but it was too late. The sharp arrow hit his left shoulder.
"Your Majesty!" Pang Ao raised his sword to block another arrow, and the shield quickly surrounded the two of them.
Han Wei came over and took a look and said: "No, the arrow is poisonous! General Pang, take the prince back to the camp to heal his wounds. Leave this place to me!"
"Okay!" Pang Ao quickly helped Xiao Jingchen, who was unconscious due to poisoning, and led a group of cavalry back to the camp.
"Hahaha..." Motu looked admiringly at the young man beside him who was drawing the bow.
"General Zhamu is indeed our Nanyi's master archer. Xiao Jingchen was hit by your arrow, and I'm afraid he won't survive the night!"
"Now that Xiao Jingchen has been hit by an arrow, it's time for us to counterattack!"
He ordered the war drums to be beaten and the whole army to counterattack. Because Xiao Jingchen was hit by an arrow, the morale of Nanyi was greatly boosted.
Han Wei saw the opponent's morale rising and thought it would be another hard battle.
…
"Why is there no news at all?" Zhuang Wan stepped on her feet and looked in the direction of the canyon.
