Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 97

Chapter 97: Battle Of Yu Guan Pass (2)
When approaching the wooden barricades not far from the trench, the soldiers sped up. Due to their speed, the long log behind them floats slightly from the ground. When the soldiers control the horses to jump over the wooden barricades, the long log behind them directly crashes onto the wooden barricades.

Crash! Crack! Crack!

When the long logs hit the wooden barricades, the iron spikes penetrated the wooden barricades, and the soldiers dragged them away, opening ten paths behind them. After the soldiers moved the wooden barricades away, Jiang Zongshang shouted, “Charge!”

When the Xiong Nu soldiers finally woke up, picked up their weapons and came out, Jiang Zongshang already led his five thousand troops to break through the first line of defense and headed towards the trench.

A few minutes later, Jiang Zongshang and his soldiers stopped near the trench. Jiang Zongshang looked thoughtfully at the distance separating both sides. A few seconds later, he looked up at the high wall, raised the corner of his mouth, and suddenly had an idea.

Instead of crossing the trench and risking being shot by archers, he would let the enemy come out willingly.

When the defenses within the fortress town dropped, he would send soldiers to climb the walls and open the gates from inside. Being attacked from both inside and outside, those who come out to fight him today will be unlucky.

Just when Jiang Zongshang was constructing the plan in his mind, the Chanyu of Xiong Nu finally arrived at the second wall. When he looked down, he saw that Jiang Zongshang had stopped in front of the trench with five thousand soldiers behind him.

Luandi Huiyun narrowed his eyes and muttered, “They actually survived the plague?”

After a moment of silence, he said, “Whoever can bring that man’s head to me will be heavily rewarded.”

As soon as these words came out, the Xiong Nu soldiers’ eyes lit up. Lured by rewards, their morale was high, and they took up their weapons and prepared to face the enemy.

Under the black mask, Jiang Zongshang’s eyes flashed coldly when he heard cheers coming from the other side of the high wall. Soon, the tall and heavy gate of the Yu Guan fortress town opened from the inside. Not long after, a tall and burly man appeared on a war horse, followed by twenty thousand Xiong Nu soldiers.

The man pointed his sword at Jiang Zongshang and arrogantly said, “State your name!”

Jiang Zongshang looked at the man for a moment and calmly said, “Jiang Zongshang.”

After Jiang Zongshang announced his name, the man raised his chin and proudly said, “This general is Hela Yuqun, the general of the mighty Hei Lang Army!”

After he said that, Jiang Zongshang smiled and lazily said, “I’m not interested in the names of dead people.”

As soon as Jiang Zongshang finished speaking, Hela Yuqun’s face darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, “Hah! This general will kill you with my own hands and hang your head on the city wall! See if you can still be arrogant after this general cut off your head!”

After saying that, Hela Yuqun no longer wasted time. When the Xiong Nu soldiers in the watchtower lowered the wooden bridge, he led his troops and rushed toward Jiang Zongshang.

When Hela Yuqun and the Xiong Nu soldiers crossed the wooden bridge, Jiang Zongshang saw an opportunity. Since the wooden bridge was only three meters wide, Hela Yuqun and his soldiers had limited space to move when crossing the wooden bridge.

Without wasting this rare opportunity, Jiang Zongshang smirked and ordered, “Archers, get ready!”

The next second, the soldiers of the Jin Yi Army picked up the bows hanging next to the saddles and loaded them with arrows. When they pulled the bowstring, Jiang Zongshang raised his hands and waited.

The moment he saw that the wooden bridge was crowded with Xiong Nu soldiers, he put down his hand and shouted, “Release the arrows!”

Swish~ Swish~ Swish~

As soon as the arrows were fired, they flew toward Hela Yuqun and the Xiong Nu soldiers. Seeing the dense arrows rained down on them, Hela Yuqun’s eyes shrank.

He raised his sword to parry the incoming arrows and shouted, “Defense formation!”

As soon as these words were said, the Xiong Nu soldiers took off their round shields from their backs and raised them above their heads, preparing to block the incoming arrows as they formed spheres with their shields.

Ding~ Ding~ Ding~

When the arrows collided with the Xiong Nu soldiers’ round shields, there was a sound of metal clashing everywhere. Just when Hela Yuqun and the Xiong Nu soldiers resisted the first wave of arrows, Jiang Zongshang raised his hand again and shouted, “Release the arrows!”

Seeing the second wave of arrows rained down toward him and his troops, Hela Yuqun cursed, “Damn it! Kill them all!”

At his command, the Xiong Nu soldiers ignored their defenses, sped up, and rushed toward Jiang Zongshang. Without the protection of the round shield, more soldiers died in the second wave of arrows than in the first wave.

In just a few seconds, Hela Yuqun’s war horses had left the wooden bridge and headed straight for Jiang Zongshang.

Seeing the angry Hela Yuqun approaching at a fast speed, Jiang Zongshang clenched his spear and said calmly, “Get ready!”

Following his order, the soldiers of the Jin Yi Army put away their bows and arrows and then drew their weapons. When the distance between the Jin Yi Army and the Xiong Nu Army was only twenty meters, Jiang Zongshang rushed towards Hela Yuqun with murderous intent shrouding his body.

When the two armies clashed, Jiang Zongshang raised his spear and swept across. With one move, more than a dozen Xiong Nu soldiers died under his spear. Before he could withdraw his spear, Jiang Zongshang’s eyes flickered, and he leaned back on the horse. The next second, a sword energy passed through his body from above.

Swish~!
