Chapter 44: Crashing

Soon, the enemy's phalanx approached the city wall, and at the front was a black pack of wolves. There was roughly 300 packs. There was a chariot in the middle of the pack, and there was a man in a robe standing on the car.

Chu Qin said to Tang Shuo: "That person is the Spirit Master, and he controls the wolf pack, kills him and then disperse."

Tang Shuo glanced at Chu Qin and said in an unhappy tone: "I know, and I have tried it too, it is not as easy as Master Chu said."

Chu Qin said, "Give me five hundred cavalry and I'll go and kill him."

"Five hundred!" Tang Shuo looked at Chu Qin in shock. He didn't know Chu Qin, but had only heard of this name. He knew that he was a young and promising soul master, and he knew that Chu Qin was the son of the head of the Wenzheng Department.

Tang Shuo pointed to the enemy formation and said, "The enemy has tens of thousands of people! Five hundred cavalry rushed in and they would be strangled in less than a quarter of an hour!"

Chu Qin said: "As long as you kill the Spirit Master, the enemy will be defeated. At that time, the general will lead troops to rush to kill him, and it will be determined by a battle."

Tang Shuo lowered his voice: "There are less than 10,000 defenders left. Even if they all rushed out, it would be impossible to repel 30,000 people. The enemy is large and we are few. We should only hold on and wait for reinforcements, and we should not turn on and go out to fight."

Chu Qin said: "It will take as long as four days for reinforcements to arrive. Now that the morale is low and you will suffer another severe damage, the barrier will inevitably be difficult to protect. Once the barrier is broken, people will suffer."

Tang Shuo frowned. Chu Qin was right, but...

"Dong...dong...dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong..."

The war drums were beating in the enemy formation, and the shouts of killing suddenly started. Five teams of enemy troops rushed towards the city wall with wooden boards several meters long.

Chu Qin said, "General! Don't hesitate!"

Tang Shuo gritted his teeth and said that if Chu Qin could not succeed, he would die in the enemy's formation, and this pass could not be saved. He, the general, would never return to the imperial city alive. Anyway, he would die, fight!

Tang Shuo shouted loudly: "Where is Gu Chong?"

Deputy General Gu Chong ran to the front and clasped his fists and replied: "The last one is here!"

Tang Shuo said loudly: "So quickly and point five hundred light cavalry to join Master Chu!"

"Receive the order!" Gu Chong agreed and turned around and ran away.

Chu Qin said to Tang Shuo: "After the wolves rushed up the city wall, I will turn on and go to fight again. As long as I see the spirit master falling down, the general will immediately lead his troops out of the pass. Don't hesitate!"

Tang Shuo replied: "Don't worry, Master Chu, I will never be afraid to fight, and I will not ignore Master Chu's life and death."

After getting off the city wall, Chu Qin said to Lixia and Gu Du: "You two protect Shangguan He, if you break the barrier..."

"Stop talking!" Shangguan He interrupted him and said, "I will sleep with you, and die with the same acupoint. Besides, I am the daughter of the head of the Military and Political Department. I am afraid of fighting and humiliating my family."

Chu Qin didn't say anything anymore. If this battle fails, it will be successful. If she dies, even if Shangguan He is still alive, he will not be able to protect her. Moreover, once the barrier is broken, it is hard to say whether she can escape. Instead of being humiliated, it is better to die in the battlefield.

Arrows on the city were like locusts, and the sounds of killing and screams came one after another. Chu Qin took the lead, stood in front of the closing door, and said loudly: "This time, follow me to get into battle! There is advancement but no retreat! There is death but no life!"

"Roar!" Five hundred cavalrymen agreed in unison. Everyone knew that this was going to die, but the yellow-robed soul master led the army to the battlefield, and even death was glorious!

Shangguan He said to Lixia: "If I fall down, I must kill me, so do you, and you cannot be humiliated alive."

Li Xia nodded solemnly.

Tang Shuo shouted on the top of the city: "The wolf is here! All are here!"

Chu Qin shouted, "Open the door!"

Twenty soldiers divided the left and right to close the door, Chu Qin rushed out with one horse, and the five hundred cavalry shot towards the enemy's main formation like a sharp arrow.

Feather arrows shot in the sky, Chu Qin waved his sword and opened the arrow, rushed towards the Imperial Spirit Master. Shangguan He followed closely behind Chu Qin, Gu Du was close to Shangguan He. Sheng wanted to protect Shangguan He and kill Shangguan He first. Shangguan He treated him like a brother, and he wanted to make Shangguan He live calmly and die happily.

Li Xia followed Shangguan He on the other side. She didn't care about life and death. Instead, she felt that it would be a kind of happiness if she could die with Gu Du.

Because the three of them were close together and Chu Qin was in front of them, the feather arrows shot by the enemy could not hurt them at all. Instead, the cavalry behind them were shot and fell off the horse.

The city gate was about eighty feet away from the enemy's main formation, and rushed closer in a few breaths. The enemy sent out a spear. Chu Qin jumped up at the last moment, and the war horses neighed and fell down, while Chu Qin fell into the enemy's formation.

Because Chu Qin's war horse broke a gap, Gu Du and the other two rode into the enemy's formation, and the cavalry behind them also rushed to the enemy. The enemy's defense line quickly collapsed, but the enemy came from both sides.

Tang Shuo stood on the city wall and watched. The four yellow robes were particularly eye-catching. Regardless of success or failure, Tang Shuo reevaluated the Soul Control Master in his heart. It turned out that the Soul Control Master not only knew how to control the Soul Commander, but also could also kill the enemy by trapping in battle.

Chu Qin released the soul army and instantly opened a path, and the enemy's spirit master also released the soul army.

Gu Du and Li Xia were still holding Shangguan He and fighting left and right behind Chu Qin. Two horizontal knives flew up and down, and Shangguan He could not cut down anyone.

The courage and determination of the four people inspired the soldiers who were trapped in the battle, and one after another, the fallen ignited the anger of revenge.

There is advancement but no retreat! There is death but no life!

The attack of the wolf pack became slow because the enemy spirit master wanted to distract his energy from controlling the soul army. Hope ignited in Tang Shuo's eyes, maybe he could really win!

Chu Qin suddenly jumped up and stabbed Shangguan He with a long spear straight. Because Shangguan He was less than three steps behind Chu Qin, Gu Du and Li Xia were focused on the enemy troops on both sides.

Shangguan He hurriedly swung his knife to block it, but he just missed the spear head, and the spear pierced her left shoulder, pushing her back quickly.

Gu Du turned his hand and killed the spearman, then rushed to Shangguan He, hugged Shangguan He tightly, and swung his knife to open the spear that was stabbing.

Li Xia wandered around for a week and killed all the enemies surrounding him, then returned to Shangguan He.

Gu Du squatted on the ground, held the gun bar, and shouted: "Cut off the gun bar!"

Li Xia held the knife in both hands and slashed it down suddenly, and the gun bar cut off. Shangguan He screamed and knelt on the ground.

Gu Du hugged Shangguan He's waist and raised her up, shouting to Li Xia: "Go and help the Soul Lord!"

Li Xia turned around and rushed into the crowd.

Shangguan He gritted his teeth and said, "Kill me and go and help them."

"No!" Gu Du walked forward with Shangguan He, because there was no way out and was surrounded by the enemy. The only way to survive was to find Chu Qin and kill the Spirit Master, otherwise they would have to die here.

Tang Shuo could see clearly on the city wall that less than a hundred people died. Although Chu Qin had approached the Spirit Master, she had not yet killed the other party. Li Xia went off the ground and was trapped in the enemy, isolated and helpless. Gu Du held Shangguan He, and was still struggling.
