For this battle, Commander Mang Bi clearly couldn't step forward and lead his soldiers at the front. Should he be near the enemies, who couldn't say for sure that he would be attacked and the bottle of poison ended up opening midway?
Commander Mang Bi didn't want to be the experimental rat for the poison in his hand that the Zhang Xu Kingdom had specifically asked from Lin Sun.
It would be scary.
"Step forward! Don't let them push you back! What are you afraid of!" Commander Mang Bi yelled loudly, not wanting his soldiers to be pushed back to the area of the poison mist on Lin Family Mountain.
The soldiers gritted their teeth, doing their best to move forward as much as possible, feeling that the opponents were crazier this time.
It was a full frontal attack.
Long Qian Xing's soldiers didn't seem to care about defense in the slightest bit as they charged forward, attacking with all their might.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of battles continued to reverberate.
*cough*
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Hearing the dull sound of people falling down, Commander Mang Bi turned his head around. He watched in despair as his men were pushed into the barrier of the poison mist along with the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom.
They entangled within the poison mist and his soldiers were all dying one by one.
Not from the external wounds from those cold weapon but because of the poison they inhaled during their fights.
How miserable.
"Charge forward! Damn it! Do you all want to die…?"
Clang! Clang!
Watching as more and more soldiers were dying both in the hands of the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom or from the poison mist from the Lin Family Mountain, Commander Mang Bi felt really desperate.
In this dark night, even the fire they torched couldn't help them to turn the tide of the battle.
The ambush caught them off guard very well.
Commander Mang Bi reached out the poison bottle in his hand, clutching it as hard as possible. If only it was possible, he didn't want to use this in the slightest bit.
But now he understood why Strategist Mang handed him the task to be the one to stay here and lead the soldiers. Just looking at the number of soldiers who were around him, there were more than half missing.
Coupled with the fact that he was the one who had to take the bottle, it didn't need a genius to know what his role was.
A bait.
A damn bait that was left behind to die.
Commander Mang Bi gritted his teeth. He wanted to curse Commander Mang's seventh generation, but he felt that it would be useless. No matter what, he would die in this place today, either because of the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom or from the poison in his hand.
Since that was the case, then he would make the first move.
He will be the one to be in charge of his life and death!
Swish!
Drap! Drap! Drap!
Long Qian Xing watched Commander Mang Bi rushing towards them all rapidly and waved his hand. "Aim for Commander Mang Bi's horses and legs!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The archers in the forest were all ready and prepared to make their move. The moment Long Qian Xing gave his order, countless arrows were shot in Commander Mang Bi's direction.
Stab! Stab! Stab!
The fire that was supposed to help Commander Mang Bi's soldiers were now used by the archers of Long Qian Xing to target him. With the torch lighting the previously dark night, it was now possible for them to notice the people from Zhang Xu Kingdom clearer. Not to mention, Commander Mang Bi was very visible with his outfit and dress.
It was not hard for more than 10 arrows to hit their target successfully while the rest reached the other soldiers or the ground around Commander Mang Bi.
Thud!
Falling of his horse, Commander Mang Bi coughed. He gritted his teeth and stretched his hand to take out the bottle.
"Throw this towards those barbarians!"
Prang!
Before the soldiers could even take the bottle, a knife pierced through the bottle accurately, breaking it apart.
"No!" Commander Mang Bi's face changed when he saw the bottle in his hand was destroyed.
The soldiers around him also knew the consequences and quickly ran away. They didn't care about the fact that there were still soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom eyeing them not far from them.
All they knew was that they had to run away.
"Retreat!" Long Qian Xing was also watching this and quickly waved his hand, ordering his men to retreat. He didn't know the efficacy of the poison from Lin Sun and didn't want to try it anyway.
Thus, the two armies seemed to have come into a tacit understanding to run away from Commander Mang Bi's body.
Watching his soldiers running away, Commander Mang Bi's eyes were filled with despair. He looked at the cracked bottle in his hand as he could feel pain permeates from deep within his body.
His breathing turned rougher before he finally stopped completely.
Drap! Drap! Drap!
Amidst the soldiers who were retreating, Nan Hua silently stepped back, making her away among the soldiers of Fei Yang Kingdom.
In this dark night, who could actually be her opponent?
The moment Commander Mang Bi took out that bottle, she had struck it with her knife from a distance away. Even though the force was not that good because it was quite far, it was still enough to crack that fragile porcelain bottle.
"Princess Jun?" Long Qian Xing called, trying to find Nan Hua among his soldiers. His vision was not as good as Nan Hua in this dark night. The torches were only in a few areas, making it impossible to cover the entire battlefield, essentially limiting their vision.
"I'm here."
Swish! Tep!
Nan Hua ran not far from Long Qian Xing's location. Her black pupils stared straight at the front. "Commander Mang Bi is just a bait."
