The Heavens Start to Reverse Fate from Martial Arts

Chapter 198: Barbarian dogs, prairie eagles?
At the first light of dawn, a touch of golden light shines down on the edge of the pale blue sky, and the distant mountains are dark blue, hidden in the mist.

The tower is majestic and looks even more desolate and majestic in the morning light, and its mottled walls hide countless traces of blood and fire.

The dragon flag is hung high on the city wall and the war flags are fluttering.

Countless silver-armored soldiers holding spears stood on the city walls. Their auras were connected to each other, emitting a breathtaking military force.

Before the gate was closed, on the flat ground two kilometers away, a dark mass of Turkic cavalry stretched to the end of the sky, and the ferocious army exuded a murderous aura.

Rumble…

In the Turkic army, Jie Li Khan, guarded by a thousand elite cavalry, galloped quickly towards Yanmen Pass.

When they were 500 meters away from the city wall, they stopped their horses in unison. The sound of the horses' hooves hitting the ground merged into a thunderous sound, demonstrating their extraordinary riding skills.

Zhao Deyan rode his warhorse out of the crowd and soon arrived at the foot of the city wall. He looked up at Taiyi Yang Guang, who was wearing a golden dragon robe under the dragon flag on the wall, and shouted loudly: "The emperor of the Han people, come out of the city and give a reply!"

Taiyi Yang Guang narrowed his eyes slightly, and Song Que and others beside him all looked gloomy, with dangerous light flashing in their eyes.

Lai Huer took a step forward, poked his head out of the parapet, his eyes wide open, and cursed angrily: "How dare you, a barbarian dog of mud, be so disrespectful to the emperor? Don't you think that your grandfather Lai Hu's gun is not good enough?"

Zhao Deyan's face darkened, his eyes instantly turned cold, he suppressed his anger, and said sarcastically: "The dignified Central Plains court would actually use a foul-mouthed reckless man like you as a general, and they are not afraid of being ridiculed by the heroes of the world. It seems that the Great Sui Dynasty has really declined."

"You barbarians, do you know what the Celestial Empire is? Pah - if you don't understand, don't try to defend your grandfather with your intellectual tricks!"

Lai Huer had a look of disdain on his face and spat rudely, his eyes full of contempt.

Although he was trying to show it, in his heart he really looked down on these barbarians outside the Great Wall.

With the current strength of the imperial court, it is not too difficult to wipe out the 400,000 Turkic cavalry.

To use the words of the scholar Jing Ge Lao: In this era when the Sui Dynasty dominates the world, the imperial cavalry is capable of crushing everything and will not dare to stand in the way of any stumbling block!
"You!" Zhao Deyan's blood boiled, but he soon calmed down. He looked at Taiyi Yang Guang, who was wearing a dragon robe, with a gloomy face and sneered: "Han emperor, are you afraid? How can you, who is so cowardly, be qualified to rule the splendid country of Central Plains?"

Yuwen Chengdu's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He clasped his fists and bowed solemnly, asking for orders: "I, your humble servant, request to fight! Kill this rude barbarian for Your Majesty!"

Sima Dekan showed murderous intent on his face. He clasped his fists and bowed to ask for the order: "I, your humble servant, request to fight and swear to kill the rude barbarian under the city for your majesty!"

Song Que stared at Wu Zun Bi Xuan beside Jie Li Khan, and reminded him solemnly: "Your Majesty, the man beside Jie Li Khan is Wu Zun Bi Xuan of the Turkic people. I fought him with all my strength for more than a thousand moves, but there was no winner. Your Majesty must not take it lightly."

Taiyi Yang Guang raised his eyebrows, his eyes piercing through the void, locking onto the martial arts master Bi Xuan, who had a majestic figure and long and strong limbs.

He had a handsome face and an evil aura that captivated people. He wore a wild hemp robe, with his hair braided to the back of his head. His perfect bronze body was shining brightly, and his broad hands held a Moon Wolf spear weighing ninety-nine pounds.

“Very extraordinary… His energy is like the undercurrent of the sea, with stillness in movement and movement in stillness. He has the true meaning of blazing sun, as blazing as the sun across the sky. He is worthy of the title of grandmaster.” Taiyi Yang Guang did not hesitate to praise him.

Song Que nodded seriously and said, "Your Majesty has a keen eye. Bi Xuan is indeed not comparable to ordinary warriors. His Yanyang Qigong is extremely fierce and blazing. Fighting him is like being trapped in a dry desert. It makes people feel terrified that their blood and qi are drying up and they want to die. He is very difficult to deal with."

Taiyi Yang Guang looked away with regret, shook his head and said, "Honey to the enemy is poison to me. It's a pity to waste such a martial arts genius." As he spoke, his face turned cold, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes. He said indifferently, "Notify the entire army to prepare for an all-out fight."

After saying this, he turned around, waved his sleeves, and walked towards the city.

Behind him, Song Que, Yuwen Chengdu and others followed with indifferent expressions.

squeak-

The heavy city gate slowly opened, and amid the rumbling sound of horse hooves, dense crowds of silver-armored cavalry rushed out.

The Valiant Cavalry Army, the Valiant Fruit Army, the Blood Sacrifice Army, the Feiyi Army, and Song Que's own troops, totaling 470,000 troops, were deployed in an orderly manner under the city wall.

The spears were like a forest, flashing cold light; the iron shields were like curtains, shining silver light, forming a silver ocean.

Taiyi Yang Guang rode a Ferghana horse and slowly came to the front of the army formation under the protection of 10,000 blood sacrifice soldiers.

Then he led a thousand blood-sacrificing soldiers and stood still a hundred meters in front of the elite cavalry led by Jie Li Khan.

Taiyi Yang Guang rode forward alone and stood between the two armies. His golden dragon robe shone brightly in the sun, exuding an inviolable imperial majesty.

"Jie Li Khan, you led the cavalry to invade the border of the Sui Dynasty. Do you know that this is the way to your own destruction?" The voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the battlefield, demonstrating his extraordinary internal strength.

"Hmm?" Bi Xuan said in surprise, and quickly waved his hand to stop Jie Li Khan from approaching. After carefully examining Taiyi Yang Guang for a while, he said in surprise: "Something is wrong. The Han emperor is a martial arts expert, and even I can't see through his strength."

The gloom in Jie Li Khan's eyes quickly dissipated, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face. He asked in a low voice: "Wu Zun means that the Han emperor is very powerful?"

Zhao Deyan, who had just returned to the army, immediately refuted: "It's impossible. If the emperor of the Han people is really as powerful as Wu Zun said, it is impossible that he was forced to retreat several times by the Goryeo Grand Master Fu Cailin during the three campaigns against Goguryeo."

It has only been a few years since Emperor Sui launched his three expeditions to Goguryeo. It is impossible for the other party to transform from an ordinary person who knew nothing about martial arts into a powerful figure that even the Martial Master had to be wary of in such a short period of time. This is completely unreasonable.

Bi Xuan's brows revealed a trace of solemnity. He tightened the Moon Wolf Spear in his hand and said in a low voice, "The Han emperor has a deep aura, and there is a domineering aura in his grandeur that controls the universe. His martial arts skills are probably not inferior to mine."

When Jie Li Khan heard this, his eyes flickered.

He looked at Taiyi Yang Guang, only to see him sitting upright on his horse, with a calm demeanor and an invisible oppressive force emanating from his body. Even though he was nearly fifty meters away, he could still feel the compelling aura of the emperor.

Although he was somewhat alert, just as the Imperial Preceptor Zhao Deyan said, if the other party was really as powerful as Bi Xuan said, how could he have been forced to retreat several times by the Goryeo Grandmaster Fu Cailin?

Tuli was a burly man with a face full of flesh, holding a terrifying mace in his hand. He sat on his horse and heard the conversation. He couldn't help but interject with a twinkle in his eyes:
"Master Wu Zun, when have the Turkic people ever been afraid of the Han people? If the Khan retreats today, what will the 400,000 people behind him think? What will the various tribes on the grassland think?"

As the son of Shibi Khan, he had failed to become Khan twice. He wished that Jie Li would die so that he could have a chance to compete for the position of Khan.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.

If the Han emperor killed Jie Li and then led his army to surrender, he might have a chance to ascend the throne of Khan by using the enemy's strength.

Zhao Deyan narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes, and he nodded solemnly and said, "Khan, Tuli is right. It is indeed not a good time to retreat at this time." Then he looked at Bi Xuan and asked seriously, "Martial Master, are you sure?"

Bi Xuan did not respond directly, but whispered to Jie Li Khan: "Khan, the Han emperor is surrounded by powerful men. It is best not to act rashly unless necessary."

In the Sui army formation. Lai Huer saw that no one from the Turkic army had come forward, so he couldn't help but gallop forward, sneering with a look of contempt:
"The barbarians are really all cowardly rats. Where is your arrogance just now? What? Are you scared before it even starts? Pah! You still call yourself prairie eagles? I think you are more like prairie rats!"

He said this in Turkic, feeling unsatisfied, and mocked again. His expression was so irritating.

Not to mention Jie Li Khan and others whose faces turned black, even the thousand wolf riders who were accompanying them did not look much better, and they immediately felt furious.

Ke Dazhi stood out from the crowd, his face trembling, and growled fiercely: "Khan, I want to fight! Please allow me to kill that Han general!"

Jie Li Khan stared at Tuli deeply until he was sweating all over his forehead, then he withdrew his gaze indifferently. After a moment of hesitation, he looked at Bi Xuan and said seriously: "Are you sure, Wu Zun?"

Bi Xuan raised his chin slightly and uttered a word with great confidence: "Yes!"

"Okay! Thank you, Wu Zun, for accompanying me and seeing what tricks this Han emperor is trying to play." After Jie Li Khan finished speaking, he shook the reins and steered his horse towards Taiyi Yang Guang in the distance.

Bi Xuan followed closely behind him, and a thousand wolf riders grasped the hilts of their swords at their waists. A solemn atmosphere quickly spread.

A thousand blood sacrifice soldiers looked up indifferently. They moved in unison, leaning their steel spears forward together, tightly gripping their silver spears. Their cold and ruthless eyes exuded a bone-chilling chill.

As the two armies faced each other, the air seemed to freeze, with only the neighing of horses' hooves and the rustling of armor remaining, making people unconsciously feel heavy in their hearts.

Taiyi Yang Guang stared at the slowly approaching Jie Li Khan and Bi Xuan with a sharp gaze, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I thought you were afraid?"

"Afraid?" Jielila stopped his horse and said proudly, "How have I, a man from the grassland, ever been afraid? I came here today to ask you only one question: Are you willing to ally with the Turks and pay tribute?"

This was certainly not his purpose today. He said this just to test the other party's attitude.

The sudden strength of the Central Plains court was too strange, so strange that it made people feel scared. Not only the Eastern and Western Turks, but also Goguryeo, Tubo and other countries were very wary and afraid of the strange changes of the Central Plains court.

It was not only the Steppe Turks who sent troops this time, but other forces from the Western Regions also took action.

This was a silent alliance, aimed at nipping the erratic changes of the Sui Dynasty in the bud. At the same time, he followed the example of his predecessors and tried to rule the Central Plains again.

Taiyi Yang Guang laughed dumbly, and the contempt in his laughter was not concealed: "What if I don't agree?"

Jie Li Khan tightened the reins, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "Conquer Yanmen Pass and let the horses drink water from the Yellow River!"

"Hahaha..." Taiyi Yang Guang laughed with his head raised. The sound waves were like rolling waves, sweeping forward mightily. Wherever it passed, strong winds whistled, the void trembled, and its power was boundless.

Jie Li Khan let out a scream and quickly raised his hands to cover his ears. Bloodshot appeared in his wide-open eyes, blood slowly flowed from his mouth and nose, and his distorted face looked indescribably hideous.

"Protect the Khan!" Bi Xuan roared, his roar was like thunder, sweeping up strong winds in the sky and pushing away the sound waves that were coming towards him.

With a backhand palm, he slapped Jie Li on horseback and sent him flying back to his formation. His body suddenly jumped up, and the Moon Wolf Spear in his hand, carrying the blazing true meaning of the sun, went straight to the center of Taiyi Yang Guang's eyebrows.

"Come on!" Taiyi Yang Guang stopped laughing, clenched his fist without hesitation, and punched forward: "Fire Power - Qiankun Seal!"

Fire! Red fiery flames filled the void. Under the terrifyingly high temperature, the green plants on the ground dried up instantly, and the ground cracked visibly.

The wind howled and the void twisted.

Clang—the fist and the spear tip collided, making a sharp clanging sound. The strong wind was like a raging flame, emitting a terrifying high temperature, as if it was going to ignite the void.

"Army cavalry, listen to my orders! Follow me and charge the enemy!"

Yuwen Chengdu's eyes narrowed, and he pointed the golden hammer with phoenix wings in his hand diagonally forward, leading the cavalry to launch a charge.

"Xiaoguo troops, listen up! Follow me and disperse the enemy!"

Sima Dekan shook the reins, and the horse under him rushed out, and the battle order he shouted was like a huge bell, resounding through the sky. Behind him, 100,000 brave soldiers raised their silver spears, crouched and followed him to charge.

Rumble…

The horses’ hooves rumbled and the drums thundered!
The Valiant Cavalry Army and the Valiant Fruit Army, one on the left and one on the right, bypassed the two men in fierce battle and the panicked 1,000 elite Turkic cavalry, and headed straight for the Turkic headquarters army in the distance.

"Men of the Feiyi Army, follow me and kill! Let the Turkic barbarians see how powerful our Feiyi Army is!"

Lai Huer shook the reins, excitedly led the 200,000 Feiyi Army, turned into a silver tsunami, and swept towards the Turkic army in the distance.

Although the Feiyi Army was infantry, their running speed was astonishing due to their long-lasting physical strength, and was not much slower than the cavalry.

Under the city wall, only Song Que's 60,000 troops and 10,000 blood sacrifice troops remained unmoved.

Zhao Deyan flew up, raised his hand to catch Jie Li Khan in mid-air, and then landed steadily on the ground.

Jie Li Khan suddenly raised his head and looked at the terrifying momentum of the Sui army, his heart sank.

He took a deep breath, and without any hesitation, he quickly jumped on his horse, turned his horse's head, and galloped towards the Turkic army behind him, with a thousand elite cavalry following closely behind him.

Jie Li Khan wiped the blood off his face, endured the pain in his brain, and shouted: "Order the men, lead the whole army to charge at this Khan! Let the Sui army see the might of the grassland wolf riders!"

The messenger following closely behind Jie Li took out the horn and blew it with all his strength: "Woo——"

"Kill..."

The rumbling sound of horse hooves shook the heaven and earth. Four hundred thousand Turkic cavalrymen, with their ferocious military force, rushed towards the galloping Sui army.

In front of the city gate.

Song Que led his troops and stayed at the scene, paying close attention to the fierce battle between the two men, ready to provide assistance at any time.

The ten thousand blood sacrifice soldiers slowly gathered together, and then stood quietly in place like clay sculptures or stone sculptures, seeming out of place compared to the noisy battlefield.
