Chapter 216 is about the Black Armor Guards!
Just then, a group of soldiers who had been holding scimitars and standing ready saw this and roared as they swarmed towards the man.
In an instant, shouts of battle echoed through the valley as the two sides clashed in close combat, plunging the area into chaos once again.
"Grand Marshal of the Army and Cavalry, Pei Jingyu."
Suddenly, a deep and magnetic voice rang in Su Fuying's ear.
Startled, she instinctively turned her head and saw that Xiao Yuheng, who had just been far away on the opposite mountain, had now silently appeared beside her.
Perhaps because he was too focused on observing the situation on the battlefield, he did not even notice Xiao Yuheng approaching.
She smiled somewhat shyly at Xiao Yuheng, then quickly turned her head back to the battle in the valley.
For the entire afternoon, Su Fuying's gaze was drawn to the young man holding the long spear.
His agile skills and flexible tactics amazed her.
Upon learning that this person was none other than Pei Jingyu, the renowned and youngest Grand Marshal of the Southern Xia Kingdom, she felt an indescribable surge of admiration.
"The odds are 1 to 5 right now! And you're still leisurely watching the show here?"
Su Fuying frowned and spoke without turning her head, her tone revealing a hint of worry.
After all, she still hadn't seen General Pei's figure, and thinking about what Sima Yu had said earlier, she felt increasingly nervous and uneasy.
A snort rang out, and Xiao Yuheng, with a contemptuous expression, replied in a disdainful tone, "How could Sima Yu possibly be worthy of my personal confrontation?"
His words exuded an undeniable air of dominance.
"Then, Your Majesty, how exactly do you intend to reverse this unfavorable situation in the war?"
Su Fuying had already vaguely guessed what was going on, but she still couldn't help but ask.
Night had fallen, and the sky was gradually turning pitch black. The soldiers below began to light their torches one after another, and the entire battlefield was instantly illuminated by the flickering flames.
Faced with Su Fuying's question, the man simply uttered two words: "timing".
Upon hearing this answer, Su Fuying originally wanted to continue asking questions, but at that moment, a faint rustling sound reached her ears, making her immediately alert.
She quickly moved her right hand, which had been holding the reins, to the long sword at her waist, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
"coming."
Xiao Yuheng, however, acted as if nothing had happened, even his tone carried a lazy air.
The howling wind beside her ears seemed to grow even fiercer, like a roaring beast lunging at Su Fuying with bared fangs and claws. The gale whipped up sand and dust, lashing her delicate face so hard she could barely open her eyes.
Just then, a sharp, piercing, and deafening whistle suddenly ripped through the sky and echoed throughout the quiet and deep valley.
The sudden whistle was like a thunderclap, startling the birds in the mountains into scattering and fleeing.
Immediately afterwards, many figures suddenly appeared halfway up the mountain. They appeared quickly like ghosts, each holding a gleaming bow and arrow.
The arrows gleamed with a chilling light, all aimed at the unsuspecting crowd below.
In an instant, the once clear sky was covered by a dense barrage of arrows. The sheer number of arrows formed a thick, dark cloud that completely obscured the already gloomy sky, leaving only a vast expanse of eerie shadows shrouding the earth.
Upon hearing the whistle, the soldiers below instinctively looked up and gazed towards the mountainside.
When they saw the overwhelming rain of arrows, their eyes widened in horror and shock. For a moment, time seemed to freeze; everyone was stunned by the terrifying scene before them, even forgetting to take cover.
Countless arrows rained down like a torrential downpour, streaking through the air and leaving behind sharp, interwoven arcs that created a scene of death.
Each arrow carried a deadly intent, shooting straight at the soldiers still fighting fiercely on the ground.
With a series of dull thuds, some unfortunate soldiers were struck in vital areas by arrows and fell to the ground dead on the spot.
Some arrows struck hard shields or thick armor, producing a crisp, pleasant metallic clang, but even so, many soldiers were still wounded and fell.
Especially those soldiers dressed in Northern Li uniforms, due to the suddenness of the incident, they had no time to take effective countermeasures, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of them were killed or wounded, and a strong, pungent smell of blood immediately filled the battlefield.
"Those are the Regent's Black Armor Guards, they are the Regent's Black Armor Guards!"
Suddenly, someone shouted out this sentence at the top of their lungs, and the sound was like a thunderclap that ripped through the sky and instantly exploded in the crowd.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers below, who had been eerily quiet and dark, suddenly became restless, like a powder keg that had been ignited.
These soldiers were all exhausted, but they still gritted their teeth and persevered.
They were trapped in this treacherous mountain, surrounded by enemy troops surging in like a tide, with no way to escape.
General Pei, the commander, was seriously injured and remains unconscious; his fate is unknown.
For days, the Pei family army had been eagerly hoping that the imperial court would send reinforcements to relieve the siege. However, their day-to-day waiting only brought them endless disappointment and despair.
The flame of hope that once burned brightly in their hearts gradually died out with the passage of time.
Just last night, the Northern Li Army launched a surprise attack under the cover of darkness. Everyone knew that this was probably a matter of life and death, so they were determined to fight to the death and engaged in a desperate battle with the enemy.
To everyone's surprise, just when they were in dire straits, the Regent's black-armored guards appeared like divine soldiers descending from the sky, rushing onto the battlefield with lightning speed and quickly protecting them in the middle.
This black-armored guard was truly incredibly brave; their formidable combat prowess was astonishing. They could often take on three opponents with ease, which significantly reduced the pressure on the Pei family army.
However, just now, reinforcements from the Northern Li army arrived one after another, and even the king himself led a large army to fight on the front lines.
This undoubtedly cast a thick shadow over the nascent hope of the Pei family army, as if a path to survival had been abruptly blocked.
However, no one expected that the Regent's Black Armor Guards would have a backup plan.
It must be said that the Regent was indeed resourceful and wise; everything was under his control.
The soldiers of Nanxia breathed a sigh of relief as they watched their enemies fall one by one. Their eyes gleamed with a sense of relief.
The Southern Xia Kingdom did not abandon them; they were saved. The Regent's Black Armor Guards are incredibly brave and will surely defeat these villains from the Northern Li Kingdom.
"It's the Black Armor Guards from Nanxia!" This exclamation exploded like thunder in the Northern Li army, instantly causing panic and chaos.
