Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1083 Princess, be careful!

Three hours later, the sun set.

Just as Shang Ruyi had expected, the other side once again launched a large-scale attack on them.

As the army of tens of thousands of people rushed towards them, their heavy footsteps shook the entire world. Shang Ruyi, who was standing above the valley, had a gloomy face. When the fiery sunset shone on her eyes, she seemed to have flames burning. She gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "Pass the order down, guard it strictly!"

In fact, without waiting for her order, Jiang Kesheng and Gao Feng had already taken their men to their respective positions.

The enemy's army covered the entire grassland like a raging flood. After a while, they had reached the entrance of Huyang Valley, which was the only outlet for the flood. Seeing them rushing in, the soldiers guarding the valley entrance used fences made of sharpened trees, which were densely spread out for more than ten feet at the valley entrance. They hid behind the wooden fences and drew their bows. When the local army pushed down the first row of wooden fences, a sharp and piercing sound suddenly rang out among the sounds of breaking trees and the roars of the soldiers.

Looking up, I saw dense arrows falling from the sky.

Just then, someone shouted, "Shield formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers who were originally attacking in the front suddenly took two steps back in unison. Immediately afterwards, a group of people behind them suddenly stepped forward quickly, raising the huge shields in their hands. Some people even stepped directly on the backs of the soldiers who retreated and squatted on the ground, stacking their shields high to form a whole huge shield!
Arrows flew like meteors, hitting the shield with a clanging sound and falling to the ground.

However, because the roads in Huyang Valley were narrow, although the arrows could be shot far, they could not be shot wide, so all the arrows hit the shield. The first volley of arrows was completely ineffective!
Seeing this scene, Shang Ruyi’s brows immediately furrowed.

But the people below did not cheer for them because they dodged the first or second rain of arrows. The battlefield was changing rapidly. As the tall and thick shields continued to move forward, they overturned row after row of wooden fences to the ground. The soldiers hiding behind the wooden fences began to retreat slowly, but their retreat was not in a panic. Under Gao Feng's command, half of them retreated while the other half still drew their bows and shot another rain of arrows into the sky.

In an instant, countless dense cold lights filled the sky over Huyang Valley. Under the fiery red setting sun, they fell from high above like a rain of fire. This time, the stacked shields finally failed to block all the arrows. Only a scream was heard, and the soldiers attacking behind the shields fell to the ground one after another.

Gao Feng immediately said: "Team one, retreat! Team two, move forward!"

The archers who shot the rain of arrows retreated immediately. As they retreated, the archers who had already retreated a distance took the order and stepped forward again, with the strong bows that were already pulled to a full moon in their hands and arrows fully charged, and they shot them into the air again.

There was a sharp cry, and Shang Ruyi, who was standing in the valley, felt his eardrums hurt by the sound.

Immediately afterwards, screams were heard from below.

But this kind of fighting method was not enough to force the soldiers who had already entered the valley to retreat. On the contrary, people were constantly shot by arrows and fell to the ground. The corpses piled up in the valley, and soon a road of flesh and blood was formed, directly on top of the wooden fence. When the soldiers behind saw that the road ahead was smooth, they immediately rushed forward regardless of anything. In just a moment, they had squeezed into the Huyang Valley and overturned all the wooden fences to the ground.

At this time, Gao Feng did not dare to stay any longer and immediately said, "Retreat quickly!"

His soldiers did not dare to delay and hurriedly ran to the other side of the valley. However, the enemy would not let them escape and hurriedly chased after them, like a wolf that smelled blood, determined to catch the fleeing prey in front of them.

Seeing this scene, Lu Xiao couldn't help but gasp.

Only then did she realize that what Shang Ruyi had said to her before was right. Evacuation also requires knowledge. A hasty evacuation in this situation is almost equivalent to suicide.

But now - she turned to look at Shang Ruyi in confusion. Just as she was about to ask something, before she could open her mouth, she saw Shang Ruyi raise his hand and wave it gently: "Do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers who had been lying in ambush on the valleys on both sides immediately stood up from behind the rocks. Among them, a team of archers had already drawn their bows and immediately released arrows at the enemy troops running below.

There was another swishing sound, and the cold light above their heads poured down like a dense rain. The soldiers below the valley were caught off guard, as if they were being pressed down by an invisible giant hand. A group of soldiers were directly pressed to the ground and could no longer stand up. Seeing this, the other soldiers hurriedly shouted: "Shields!"

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers who had just been walking in the front of the shield array hurriedly retreated and raised their shields high to block above their heads.

The troops in the valley formed a centipede covered in armor, blocking the arrows overhead and the flying rocks.

Seeing this scene, Lv Xiao, who had always felt that she was out of the picture, was sweating profusely. She turned her head and looked at Shang Ruyi with a serious expression. Although her pupils reflected the flashing swords and flying blood and flesh below, her eyes seemed particularly peaceful. Shang Ruyi, who was not sure what she was thinking, said anxiously, "Didn't you leave some rolling logs? Why don't you put them down quickly?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi glanced at her and said nothing.

Wo Xue at the side hesitated for a moment and said, "We don't have many logs left. If we release them now, if they try to come up the mountain road later, we will have nothing to stop them."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao said nothing more. She just raised her hand and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.

Whatever she did, she seemed gentle and graceful, but this movement revealed a rare hint of embarrassment and uneasiness in her trembling. Shang Ruyi at the side slowly frowned, and the gloom in his eyes deepened.

By this point in the battle, she knew that they were running out of ammunition and food. Not only were the archers' arrows almost used up, but all the surrounding trees had also been cut down. What Wo Xue said was right. If she put the log down now, she would be in danger if the enemy troops below tried to climb up to the top of the mountain along the valleys on both sides.

But now, she was worried about more than just this reason.

She stared at the ground below with burning eyes: "No..."

Lu Xiao heard her murmur and immediately looked at her again: "What's wrong?"

Shang Ruyi said: "I didn't see the female general leading the troops today."

Speaking of this, Lu Xiao realized that the other side had mobilized almost all of their troops today, and had obviously made an overall deployment before the battle, so every step was taken very steadily, but she did not see the female general who was so majestic among the thousands of troops before.

Lu Xiao asked, "She ran away?"

Shang Ruyi immediately shook his head.

Just when she was about to say something, Wo Xue beside her suddenly seemed to sense something and stepped behind her: "Princess, be careful!"
