Chapter 150 The Prestige of the Marshal (Part [-])
The north gate of Bethlehem opened silently.A stream of iron then poured out, rushing straight towards the rebel infantry phalanx.

"Damn, these damned cavalry are here to harass again!" A rebel officer who was commanding the siege cursed in a low voice.

"Shield up! Reject the carbine and prepare!"

Such cavalry harassment, these days, they have experienced many times.Every time, when the siege battle is at a critical moment, cavalry in the city will rush out to launch a surprise attack on the siege infantry.These cavalrymen often retreated into the city before the rebel cavalry arrived after a successful blow, and never confronted the rebel army head-on.

Lunda had to order the siege troops to strengthen their defenses, and at the same time mobilized heavy infantry to deal with the impact of the cavalry in the city with shield formations and carbine repelling guns.Under such circumstances, Xia Tian's cavalry assault often turned into a harassing attack, and it was difficult to obtain obvious results.

However, to the officer's surprise, the cavalry who came out of the city this time did not retreat because of the tight defense of the infantry phalanx, but ran straight into the infantry phalanx.

General Ji Kai, deputy head of the First Army Corps, led five officers to the front.Facing the defense of the rebels, he smiled coldly and shouted in a deep voice: "Break the formation!"

Gorgeous silver lights flickered one after another, and Ji Kai and the officers around him swung their swords at the shield array at the same time.Several powerful fighting spirits hit the center of the shield formation heavily, and more than a dozen rebel soldiers were directly sent flying, with blood gushing from their mouths, and the shields in their hands turned into fragments and scattered all over the ground.The violent grudge attacks continued continuously, the huge gap in strength, and the seemingly perfect defense of the rebels, under the intensive and concentrated attack of several imperial officers, a gap was quickly opened.Behind the gap, a pair of spears gleamed coldly, pointing obliquely at the cavalry, waiting for the horses to bring the guns.

Before the gap was filled by other soldiers, Ji Kai and several officers suddenly took the reins of the horses, and the horses leaped into the air, and fierce fighting spirit descended from the sky, twisting all the carbine-repelling guns in front of the formation into pieces. The stumps also flew all over the sky with the fighting spirit.

There was a cruel smile on Ji Kai's face.In his heart, the intense pleasure brought by the killing also surged.Ever since the first army was defeated, the second army, and the third army suffered varying degrees of losses, the deputy commander of the army had been simmering with anger. Today, he finally found a chance to vent his anger. All the anger was violently poured out through the cold blade to the enemy.Those who followed him and fought as the vanguard of the assault force were all division-level officers of the First Army Corps, and everyone had the same mood as him.Several strong sword masters, like the tips of bayonets, quickly pierced into the infantry phalanx of the rebel army.The cavalry following them, like a blade, quickly cut the gap wider and deeper.

After the enemy's infantry phalanx was broken through, the cavalry did not massacre these infantry as the enemy expected, but blocked the swords and arrows of the surrounding rebel soldiers, and rushed forward with all their strength, as if intending to kill the entire infantry. The phalanx was completely broken down.

As the attack deepened, the cavalry continued to suffer casualties, but the speed did not slow down by half.After entering the enemy camp, cavalry were constantly surrounded by rebel infantry.The rebel soldiers soon discovered that no one in this cavalry would come to rescue these cavalry in danger, and these besieged enemies did not panic in the slightest, completely ignoring the threat of death, and fought bravely without fear of death. With the style of fighting with one's life, a few more people should be buried with him when he dies.

The battlefield commander quickly reported the situation to Commander-in-Chief Lenda.

"It seems that Marshal Yantian couldn't stand it anymore, and finally started to compete with me head-on! He must know that he can't delay the time. After the new siege equipment is built, the city of Burleigh will be in my hands."

Renda looked very excited when he heard the news.

These days, although the army he led has caused relatively large casualties to the city defenders with the help of magicians, the city of Bethleigh is like a round and hard egg to him who lacks siege equipment. He has nowhere to talk.Therefore, he chose to compete patiently with Marshal Yan, and he believed that Bethleigh City could not afford it.It is even more good for him that Yan Tian sent troops to be tough, so that he can eat the vital power in Yan Tian's hands, even if the sacrifice is a little bigger.After these days of attacks, he has found that there are many new recruits in the city defense force, and their combat effectiveness is very weak. He has an absolute advantage in terms of strength.

"Let them in, and wipe out this cavalry for me!"

Subsequently, Lunda dispatched two divisions of infantry to surround the cavalry regiment, and concentrated a large number of archers to shoot and kill the adventurous cavalry.

The imperial cavalry, who were besieged by heavy troops, began to rush left and right in the rebel camp like wild beasts, baring their teeth and claws, their intention to break out of the encirclement was extremely obvious.But their efforts, the tenacious blocking of the infantry and the rain of arrows from the archers, were in vain again and again.The officers and soldiers of the rebel army did not notice that this struggling beast was slowly approaching the center of the rebel camp intentionally or unintentionally.And there, under the heavy protection of the rebels, the three magisters continued to cast magic and attack the imperial army defending the city.

Xia Tian was in the middle of the assault force, and he was surrounded by three division commanders who protected him, and Hardy was one of them.

"Marshal, we are only about 300 meters away from where the rebel magister is." Ha Di used the light of magic to estimate again, and then whispered in Yan Tian's ear.

"Okay. Order General Jikai to execute according to the original plan!"

Yan Tian looked around and said in a deep voice.

"Nearly half of the 5000 people have been sacrificed, and in the last 300 meters, I don't know how many good men from the empire will fall!"

Yan Tian sighed silently in his heart, and looked up at the place where the magic light rose in the distance, with a strong killing intent in his eyes.

"I really don't know how to live or die, but I'm coming this way!" A rebel officer looked at the cavalry who were rushing towards his troops in a panic, and couldn't help laughing contemptuously.

The task that Lun Duo entrusted to him was to protect the safety of several magisters accompanying the army full-time, so the troops under him were the most elite force in the rebel army, and there were many masters among the officers.Although he found that the enemy's cavalry was very powerful, and there were several master swordsmen, he didn't pay attention to these dying imperial soldiers at all.

"You three magisters, take a break. Your magnificent magic performance has already driven the army of the empire crazy. Now, watch me send these lunatics on the road with blood!" The officer smiled gracefully at the three magisters.

"Let's help out too!" A black-robed magister sneered, and casually threw a light lighting spell into the air, illuminating the nearby battlefield several hundred meters like daylight.The other two magisters also released two high-level magic spells with the light of the lighting technique, and struck at the two imperial soldiers in battle.Seeing the two who were hit by the magic turn over and fall off the horse, and were cut to pieces by the swarming rebels, both of them had smug smiles on their faces.

As soon as the marshal's order arrived, Ji Kai knew that the few hundred meters in front of him might be the last stretch of his life.In the first half of the fight, his grudge had been severely depleted.The situation of the officers around him was not much different from his.But the striker's task must be completed.

"It's the last moment, even if you die, you have to fight this way out!" Ji Kai gritted his teeth fiercely, and the vindictive light that had been fading and thinning suddenly became brighter.

"Come with me!"

As soon as he rushed in, Ji Kai obviously felt the pressure.The quality of these soldiers in front of them is obviously higher than that of other rebels.After following Ji Kai into the enemy's formation, many soldiers and low-ranking officers consciously greeted the enemies on both sides to cover the follow-up troops.Meanwhile, some high-ranking officers followed behind Ji Kai, concentrating their efforts to penetrate deep into the enemy.

The "iron tower" left the main force at this moment, and greeted the enemies rushing to the side.He is just a low-level officer, and one of the three thousand cavalry who followed Xia Tian in the Battle of Yanyun.In that battle, with five long arrows shot by the enemy stuck in his body, he relied on his iron tower-like body to hold on tenaciously, and killed nearly twenty enemy soldiers with the iron rod in his hand.After breaking through, he was seriously injured and fell off his horse, but when he landed, he relied on the iron rod stained with the blood and brains of the enemy to support himself and he won the nickname of "Iron Tower".

More than a dozen rebel soldiers rushed forward and surrounded the "Iron Tower", all kinds of weapons greeted him. "Iron Tower" let out a roar, swung the iron rod in his hand vigorously, pulled out an arc in the air, and knocked several weapons away, but the war horse under him was still stabbed by several long spears, and let out a miserable hiss. "Iron Tower" flew off the horse, and flew a long sword head-on, and the iron rod pierced a rebel soldier's throat straight.

After the blow was successful, there was a sharp pain in his shoulder, and a shining steel knife slashed at him. The "iron tower" suddenly pulled out the iron rod, hit the chest of the attacker behind him, and then slammed the rod on the forehead of the soldier who was retreating in pain. There was a muffled bang, and the soldier's head shattered immediately. Without even making a scream, he fell on his back, splashing red and white all over the surrounding soldiers.

Within a few breaths, six or seven rebel soldiers died tragically under the sticks of the "iron tower", their bones were either broken or their heads were blown.Although the iron tower suffered several serious wounds and blood gushed out continuously, none of the rebel soldiers dared to approach him again.Under the command of an officer, several pikemen secretly moved around the "iron tower". "Pa", amidst the crisp sound of bones shattering, the "Iron Tower" fell heavily into the air with a stick, hitting a soldier on the shoulder, knocking him to the ground. "Iron Tower" stuck out his tongue and licked the blood from the corner of his mouth. Just as he was about to find his next target, seven or eight sharp spears, like the tongue of a poisonous snake, got into his body.The severe pain caused his facial muscles to contract sharply, and the warm blood flowing from the gun tip gradually made his head dizzy.

"Aw!" The fierce man who was seriously injured roared loudly, grabbed a few spears with his left hand, and held a stick with one hand in his right hand. With one blow, several soldiers who were too late to let go were killed by the sticks in an instant. Down.As the two spears were pulled out, blood spurted out from the "iron tower".He thrust the iron rod heavily in front of his body, carried a few long spears on his body, and stood like a hedgehog "iron tower", standing proudly among the rebels, staring angrily at the rebels in front of him.The shocked rebel soldier moved back slowly, fearing that he would become his next target.When the two spearmen stabbed the bloody spears into the body of the "Iron Tower" again under the reminder of the officer, the latter didn't respond at all. Only then did they realize that the person in front of them had already died.

Marshal Yan Tian never made a move. The three division commanders around him protected him and moved forward quickly along the narrow passage opened by the officers and soldiers with their lives.Imperial officers and soldiers kept falling around him, and people kept rushing forward.When the distance was less than 50 meters, Yan Tian saw Ji Kai, who was rushing to the front, was hit by two huge lightning bolts, his body froze immediately, and then he was chopped on the neck by a rebel officer, his head Fly high.

"There are not many left. It seems that I don't need to do anything. I didn't expect that there are so many masters among these cavalry. Fortunately, I met them!"

The rebel officer standing in front of the magister couldn't help laughing, feeling that he had made a great achievement for nothing.

"The one who was attacked by me just now should be the leader." A magister said complacently.

"I played too much just now, and I'm a little tired. It's time to change shifts, and we should take a rest." Another magister said with a tired expression, as if he had consumed too much mana when killing people just now.

He did not expect that waiting for their rest would be an eternal sleep.Among the last few imperial soldiers, a ball of golden light suddenly exploded and flew towards the place where they were located.It was a figure wrapped in golden light, which volleyed over the heads of the rebel soldiers and was attacking them at high speed.

"No, it's the Juggernaut!" The moment the golden light appeared, the officer's face turned pale.While reminding the three magisters aloud, he drew out his long sword to protect them in front of them.Let's go, it's too late, the three magisters propped up their magic shields at the same time and began to chant.

When the figure in front of him was clearly visible, a majestic and angry voice resounded throughout the battlefield.

"You die!"

The golden figure waved his long sword, and a crescent-shaped golden grudge shot out horizontally through the air, moving like lightning.The officer felt that this fighting spirit was the most beautiful scenery he had ever seen, and it was also the brilliant blow that all warriors longed for in their lives.He instinctively raised his sword to parry, and then saw his long sword split into two by the golden grudge.Then, his head floated away from his body.And with his unclosed eyes, he saw in the air that the shields of the three magisters were smashed to pieces, and the three of them turned into a mass of flesh and blood, scattered all over the ground.

"Jugmaster! My magister!" Seeing this scene, Lun Duo's expression was miserable, and he was unwilling to believe that a Juggernaut would suddenly appear on the battlefield, and his three magisters were killed just like that.He walked out of the camp and came here, originally wanting to see what a tragic fate this lone cavalry would have.

The sudden change turned the battlefield into a dead silence.The officers and soldiers of the rebel army all stood there dumbfounded.The power of a sword can deter the three armies!Facing the supreme existence of the samurai, no one is willing to die.

"I am the commander of Lun Duo, kill him!" Lun Duo shouted hoarsely.

Lun Duo's mournful cry brought the rebels back to their senses.

"He's a sword master, but he's not a god! If you're tired, you'll kill him!" Amidst the roar of Lun Duo, the rebel soldiers rushed towards the golden figure, and a group of guards also stood in front of Lun Duo. in front of you.

Yan Tian succeeded in one blow, and seeing Lun Duo appearing, he wanted to take his life directly, but seeing that there were many guards in front of Lun Duo, he reluctantly gave up.Facing the surrounding rebels, Yan Tian swept his sword out from the spot, and dozens of soldiers closest to him were hit by the golden grudge and twisted into a pile of rotten meat.

"I am Imperial Marshal Yan Tian, ​​who dares to step forward!"

An old voice full of coercion and righteousness spread throughout the battlefield, and the rebel officers and soldiers felt that they could no longer move their feet.Most of these rebels are imperial soldiers, and Marshal Yan has always been the highest existence in their minds.Facing Yan Tian who had become a sword master, many officers and soldiers even felt remorse in their hearts.

Yan Tian stepped towards the direction of Bethleigh City, and the officers and soldiers standing in front of him slowly retreated to make way for him.

The figure of the marshal was getting further and further away, and Lun Duo angrily urged the officers and soldiers to attack, but no one listened to him.

"I don't dare to go, Commander, you might as well go up and try yourself." A teacher even sarcastically said.Just as Lun Duo was about to explode, he suddenly found that many soldiers seemed to agree with him, and seemed to agree with the commander's words, so he could only hold back the anger in his heart.

Yan Tian's lonely figure finally disappeared under the city of Burleigh, but the five thousand warriors who came with him were forever buried in the wilderness outside the city of Burleigh.However, this army was like a long sword in the hands of the marshal, with a thunderous strike, it left fear forever in the hearts of the rebel officers and soldiers.

During the battle, Marshal Yan led [-] officers and soldiers to launch a surprise attack on the rebels, killing more than [-] rebels. Marshal Yan showed his amazing strength as a sword master and killed three enemy magisters with one blow.Except for Marshal Yantian who left the rebel camp safely and returned to Bethleigh with the power of a sword, all the other officers and soldiers died.

After this battle, the critical situation in Bethleigh was relieved, but the rebel army was shaken, morale was extremely low, and deserters even appeared continuously.

At this time, a demon came to the city of Burleigh with thousands of his men, bringing a new nightmare to the rebels, causing the rebels to completely collapse.

And in the imperial capital, together with a genius conspirator, Liu Yun also began to brew a different kind of war.
