Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2379 Niu Gao Blocks Xiao Bai, Blood Wolf General Lang Han
After the city fell, the two giants, Arceus and Pallas, accidentally passed by the expert Zhang Xuanliang.

Therefore, they became completely unstoppable after that.

Lu Shuang, who was implanted into the Great Qian Dynasty, was at least a warrior who could defeat ten thousand men and was recorded in history books.

However, under the divine power of Arceus, with just three blows, he smashed both of his arms with absolutely brutal force, and then the blow landed on his head.

As Ji Tuo and Ji Ke fled in panic, they were pinned to death on the main street of the city by the two giants, each wielding a javelin, from a distance of more than twenty paces.

Both giants awakened throwing skills, and throwing spears or stones were their forte.

Just after the two of them had killed Ji Tuo and Ji Ke respectively, they happened to discover Jiang Xiaobai and his group who were trying to break through the south gate.

Although Alcyoneus and Pallas didn't have many men around them at this time, Jiang Xiaobai didn't dare to get entangled with them.

If they don't get out of the city soon, and are entangled by Han troops from other directions within the city, it will be difficult for them to break through with their limited manpower.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaobai simply left Xin Dagang and Xin Dacheng behind, letting them lead 5,000 soldiers to cover the rear, while Jiang Xiaobai led the remaining 10,000 men to continue the breakout.

Shin Daigo and Shin Daisei, while possessing only top-tier strength, were not reckless enough to engage in a direct confrontation with Alcyoneus and Pallas.

Instead, he led his five thousand men to block the city gate, using the narrow terrain to wear them down and delay the inevitable as much as possible.

Although Alcyoneus and Pallas, each with exceptional martial arts skills and unparalleled defensive capabilities, led a troop of soldiers and broke into the formation at top speed, killing Shin Dagang and Shin Dacheng.

However, by this point, Shin Dagang and Shin Dacheng had already completed their mission, holding off Alcuonius and Pallas's pursuing forces for a sufficient amount of time.

If Alcyoneus and Pallas continued their pursuit at this point, it would be very difficult for them to catch up with Jiang Xiaobai directly.

However, since Yue Fei had surrounded the city on all sides, he would naturally make preparations to prevent the enemy from breaking through.

Therefore, Yue Fei had already made preparations for Jiang Xiaobai's various breakout routes long before.

In this way, even if the troops he had laid an ambush beforehand were not enough to wipe out Jiang Xiaobai in one fell swoop, having such a force laid in advance would be enough to hold Jiang Xiaobai back for a period of time.

At this point, when the pursuers from behind caught up, Jiang Xiaobai was caught in a pincer movement and had nowhere to escape.

The general that Yue Fei dispatched to Jiang Xiaobai's escape route was none other than Yue Fei's capable assistant, Niu Gao.

At this moment, Niu Gao, holding two maces, stood as steady as a rock at the entrance to a narrow valley leading to the southwest.

"coming."

Niu Gao murmured, his copper bell-like eyes narrowing slightly. The chaotic sound of horses' hooves and the faint light of fire in the distance confirmed his judgment.

Jiang Xiaobai was exhausted. Although Xin Dagang and Xin Dacheng had held off the pursuers for a while, the oppressive feeling was still ever-present. He could not truly relax until he was out of danger.

The route he chose, though not the closest to the city behind, was more concealed.

Moreover, once they pass through the valley ahead, even if the enemy catches up again, they can use a small number of troops to cover the rear by relying on the terrain.

However, as soon as he entered the valley, Jiang Xiaobai's heart sank, and he instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Just then, flames suddenly ignited ahead, and behind rows of chevaux-de-frise, a dense, imposing Han army stood in formation, exuding a chilling aura. "Jiang Xiaobai! Marshal Yue has already laid a trap. If you don't dismount and surrender now, when will you?" Niu Gao's voice boomed like a bell, echoing through the narrow valley, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

Jiang Xiaobai's face was ashen, and his fingers, gripping the reins tightly, turned white from the force. He looked around and saw that the remaining guards around him also looked exhausted and desperate.

With ambushes ahead and pursuers behind, it was practically a dead end.

"Your Highness, what should we do?" the general beside him asked anxiously.

A ruthless glint flashed in Jiang Xiaobai's eyes. At this point, the only option was to fight for survival!
"When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave shall prevail! Charge! Break through Niu Gao's defenses, and only then will we have a chance to live! Follow me and fight!"

He was certain that even if Yue Fei had prepared a backup plan here, he would not have many people with him.

Because he used a large fire to tie down a large number of Yue Fei's troops, more than 10,000 of the original 30,000 troops in the city are still with him.

Therefore, he definitely has the advantage in terms of troop strength. As long as he can break through before the pursuers catch up, there is still hope.

"kill!"

Driven by a desperate will to survive, Jiang Xiaobai charged ahead, leading his remaining troops in a final, desperate charge towards Niu Gao's position, like a cornered beast driven by despair.

"Fire the arrows!" Niu Gao ordered without hesitation.

In an instant, arrows rained down from the Han army formation like locusts, and the Qian army cavalry at the forefront were immediately thrown to the ground.

But Jiang Xiaobai ignored everything, brandishing his spear and carrying a shield to defend against the arrows. With Lang Han protecting him, he was not harmed and continued to lead the charge to boost the morale of the remaining troops.

"Throw!"

With the second command, javelins and short axes flew out with a whoosh, reaping another batch of lives.

After two rounds of long-range strikes, the two sides were now very close.

"My men, follow me to meet the enemy! Don't let a single one escape!" Niu Gao roared, brandishing his double maces, and charged into the enemy ranks like a tiger descending a mountain.

His mace was incredibly strong and heavy; each strike carried immense force. Any soldier or general who touched it was either killed or seriously injured, and a breach was instantly torn open in their ranks.

Two thousand elite Han soldiers followed closely behind, forming a solid dam that firmly blocked the torrent of the Qian army's retreat.

The two sides clashed fiercely in the narrow valley, blood splattering everywhere and instantly staining the ground red.

"Damn it, Lang Han, kill him!" Jiang Xiaobai pointed his spear at Niu Gao and angrily ordered the general beside him.

"The general will get the order!"

At this moment, Lang Han dared not be negligent and immediately brandished his weapon and charged out on horseback.

Only by killing the enemy's commander as quickly as possible can the morale of the enemy army collapse rapidly, thus creating an opportunity to break through the encirclement.

Otherwise, if they waste too much time here, the pursuers will catch up and their escape route will be truly cut off.
