Chapter 49: Kill! Reversal in Desperate Situation!

  Lei Shuo was taken aback, raised his head and looked at his partner in surprise, who was a few years younger than himself. He didn't know why, but from Helian's eyes, he couldn't see any panic or fear. The calm gaze seemed to have completely ignored the smoke and dust that filled the sky as the troops approached the city. Did this kid not understand what it meant to be afraid? Lei Shuo muttered to himself in his heart, and the frenzy in his eyes was also gradually reduced by Helian's influence, replaced by calmness and determination.

  Lei Shuo, still kneeling on one knee on the bluestone road surface, saw He Lian Nu slowly stretch out his left hand and smile slightly as he teased: "I'm saying, why are you still kneeling on the ground? Haven't those annoying little ants almost caught up to us yet? Quickly get up, grab your weapon, today let's brothers fight side by side and have a good kill!"

  Lei Shuo smiled lightly and stretched out his massive palm, tightly grasping Helian's left hand as he stood up. For some reason, despite being in a precarious situation, Lei Shuo no longer felt any fear, but instead sensed an intense emotional transmission through their clasped hands, which instantly ignited his fighting spirit. Helian gazed at the increasingly approaching enemy troops in the distance and turned to shout loudly at Lei Shuo: "This group of annoying insects is really getting on my nerves! I don't want to just stand here waiting for them to swarm us. How about it? Are you brave enough to charge forward with me?"

  Lei Shuo looked up at the sky and laughed loudly, clenching his fists tightly around the hilt of his expensive high-carbon steel greatsword. With a thunderous roar, he shouted "Kill!!" and charged forward alone to meet the cavalry that was rushing towards him like a hurricane, without waiting for Helian Nuo's response.

  Lei Xiao, who was charging forward like a mad god of slaughter, left He Lian Nu with an impression that although his figure seemed lonely, it was incredibly majestic. The scene before him no longer resembled the small border town, but rather a battlefield with yellow sand and corpses scattered everywhere! He felt his heart beating faster, his scorching blood making his entire body feel like it was burning with molten lava. Seeing Lei Xiao about to collide with the enemy cavalry, He Lian Nu gritted his teeth, sheathed his blood-stained Tian Lang dagger back into his waist, turned around and picked up a larger knife from the ground that was more suitable for intense close combat, grasping it tightly in his right hand. He quickly tore off several tattered cloth strips from his body and wrapped them tightly around the hilt of the knife on his right hand, then let out a loud roar: "Kill!", before charging forward to chase after Lei Xiao!

  He's already died once, so dying again isn't something he fears, although he cherishes this second chance at life. He wants to leave Lan Yue City and see the world outside, but more than that, he wants to go to Luo Yue Lake to pay his respects to the mother who died for him! However, if all of this comes at the cost of his brother's life, Helian Nuo would rather not have it!

  In the blink of an eye, Lei Shuo had already clashed with the approaching cavalry, and the leading rider was taken aback by a burly man rushing towards him without regard for his own safety. He hastily pulled on the reins to stop his beloved horse, but it's not easy for a galloping horse to suddenly come to a halt. The sorrel-colored high-headed horse let out a pained whinny as its owner abruptly yanked on the reins, and its entire body reared up, with both iron-shod front hooves striking directly at Lei Shuo!

  What a wonderful move! He suddenly lowered his body and rolled forward, barely avoiding the iron hooves of the sorrel horse that were striking down like thunder. Then he raised his giant sword and made a swift slash, directly ripping open the belly of the sorrel horse!

  The sorrel horse suddenly felt a sharp pain in its front hoof and knelt down on the ground, throwing the rider far away. The rider saw his beloved horse die instantly and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. He stood up, ignoring the pain all over his body, and pulled out the short sword from his waist to charge back for revenge. But before he could even draw his sword, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, and when he looked down, a gleaming long knife had pierced through his abdomen, with its tip now sticking out of his belly, dripping with fresh blood!

  The knight struggled to swing his sword, but his back was suddenly cold. The long knife that had pierced his abdomen was abruptly pulled out, and the massive wound spewed blood wildly, instantly taking away the young knight's life.

  He pushed one of the dead knights forward, and Helianthus wiped his long knife on the knight's body, then charged forward without stopping!

  The cavalry was originally the most suitable for charging, and once they collectively charged, they could sweep away all enemy forces. This cavalry was one of the most elite troops in the Tuoba family, well-trained on a daily basis, with extremely fine equipment. However, since there had been little war in recent years in Langyue City, this cavalry did not have much real combat experience. On a normal day, they didn't show anything out of the ordinary, but once they were on the battlefield, problems arose. The first horseman at the front was killed by Leixiao in the chaos, and the cavalry following closely behind was blocked by the dead horse's body, causing their originally neat formation to become extremely chaotic in an instant. Several new recruits with slightly inferior horsemanship panicked and lost control of their mounts, which were tripped up by the dead horses on the ground. Leixiao took advantage of the chaos and swung his giant sword wildly, instantly taking away more than a dozen lives.

  He Lianuo also caught up from behind, his long knife chopping at the horses' legs. Taking advantage of his short stature and agile movements, he darted back and forth between the horse teams, quickly moving towards Lei Shuo's direction. Behind him, one by one, the warhorses with severed legs lay on the ground, whinnying loudly. The riders lost their mounts and their combat strength instantly decreased by half. Adding to that, they were injured and panicked, making it easy for He Lianuo to kill them one by one.

  As the situation slowly tilted in favor of Helian Duo, Tuoba Tao, who had been lagging far behind the cavalry, could no longer hold back. With a fierce slap on the horse's back, he charged towards the chaotic battlefield. He knew that if he let those three little turtles escape today, despite being heavily surrounded, the Tuoba family would lose face in Langyue City forever. Not to mention his own prestige as the city lord would be lost, even the rule of the Tuoba clan in Langyue City might be threatened.

  I won't let them off! Tuoba Tao glanced at his tightly bandaged right arm, silently roaring in his heart.

  The cavalry's combat is most about momentum, a kind of unstoppable momentum. Now the Tuoba family's cavalry has lost its momentum after being defeated, and although they far outnumber the enemy, their scattered morale can no longer organize a successful counterattack, but instead each one fights alone in confusion. The result can only be that they are individually broken by Lei Xiao and He Lianuo, and soon the corpses are all over the field, with heavy losses.

  Just as the cavalry was retreating in defeat, a loud command suddenly came from Tuoba Tao's rear: "All cavalry listen to orders! Immediately dismount and temporarily become infantry, do not fight alone, form a group battle array and harass them in turn, slowly consume their physical strength!"

  Under the sudden dispersal of the cavalry, someone suddenly stood up and gave orders. It was as if they had found their backbone and immediately sprang into action. The usual training finally showed its effect. As soon as Tuoba Tao's voice fell, all the cavalry jumped off their horses in unison, threw away their long-handled weapons, drew out the short swords at their waists that were more suitable for close combat, formed a formation, and slowly approached Lei Shuo and He Lian Nuo in the arena.

  As soon as he heard Ta Ba Tao's shout, He Lian Nu felt a chill in his heart and secretly thought that the battle would not be as easy as it was at first. Indeed, the cavalrymen who had formed an array were no longer constrained by their war horses and were even more agile at close range. Lei Shuo wielded his giant sword several times but failed to break through their encirclement, instead adding a few unnecessary sword wounds. He Lian Nu racked his brains but couldn't think of a good solution, so he could only desperately fight his way over to join forces with Lei Shuo, back to back, watching each other's backs. The enemy did not launch another fierce attack, but instead continued to harass and consume the duo's physical strength in shifts, causing the battlefield to fall into a stalemate.

  The hot-tempered Leishen has calmed down at this moment, while dealing with the opponent's harassment, he laughed loudly and shouted: "You turtles, what kind of man are you? Come on, let Grandpa teach you what a real warrior is!"

  He leaned against Helian's back and laughed, then roared: "Big guy, don't waste your saliva, it's better to save some energy and wait for a while to kill a few more. Even if we die, we'll die with satisfaction!"

  "Not bad, just now killing was really refreshing, with those dozens of lives buried, I'd say it's worth it even if I don't make it through the night, only a pity that I'm still a virgin!" Lei Shuo responded exaggeratedly.

  He Lianuo heard Lei Shuo's words and couldn't help but think to himself: "Be content with what you have, you're a virgin! I'm still a two-time virgin!"

  The two of them were laughing and scolding each other, but their hands never stopped for a moment. The cavalrymen from the Tuoba family kept coming forward to harass them, and as soon as they counterattacked, they would immediately retreat. Meanwhile, others took advantage of the opportunity to slash heavily at Helian Luo or Lei Shuo's body. In just a short while, the green stone slab under their feet was stained red with blood, and their originally black long shirts were torn and tattered. Despite this, the two of them continued talking without stopping for a moment.

  "I'm telling you, big guy, are you a jinx or what? I was doing just fine before, who knew that after meeting you for less than a month I'd end up dead. If we meet again in hell, you owe me a drink! Come to think of it, I haven't even had a taste of the wine in this world yet!" Helianuo said hoarsely, his dry lips cracking as he retreated from the enemy's attack with one sword.

  "No problem, after we get out of this hell I'll treat you to the best wine, the wine brewed by old Yan Wang himself! Hmm, it's not even dark yet, why do I feel like there are stars everywhere? ", Lei Shuo's eyes gradually became distant, his body was covered in wounds, some of which he had accidentally inflicted on himself, and many of which he had endured for He Lianuo. As a result, his current injuries were even more severe than He Lianuo's, to the point where his footsteps were already somewhat unsteady. The two people just kept talking like this, exchanging words without end, it was only through this way that they could know whether the brother behind them was still alive.

  Suddenly, the enemies in front of Helianuo suddenly parted to both sides. Just as he was wondering what was happening, a man in armor, Tuoba Tao, rode up on a majestic black horse and stopped in front of him. With a triumphant smile, Tuoba Tao said contemptuously: "How's that? Aren't you very powerful? Can't you turn the tables in my humble Lanyue City? Now how did you become the turtle in my urn? Let me tell you, I won't let you die today. I'll take you back and let these two ignorant guys fully experience Tuoba Tao's methods!"
