Li Shude and others were already at Yemen Pass, holding out to death, while they saw more and more wounded within the city, and the medicinal herbs gradually running short, food reserves also dwindling, arrows feared not to last much longer. An invisible pressure was steadily building. Li Shude patted the wall and lamented: "Now it is already September, the autumn chill is strong, I reckon we can’t hold out for a few more days. If I die here today, I will take my own life. I must not let these Western Regions people taint my reputation." Xiahou Duan gripped his battle knife, his armor stained with a layer of dried and coagulated blood, remained silent upon hearing these words. They were facing the most brutal situation for defenders—arrows running out, food exhausted, reinforcements not arriving. "I, your humble officer, will..." His voice paused slightly, suddenly sensing something, raising his brows he said: "This is..." As a veteran, Xiahou Duan felt a sharp sound of something piercing the air in the wind, and the attacking side suddenly descended into chaos. Although this chaos was weak, it was extremely clear. Xiahou Duan’s gaze suddenly landed, and he saw at a glance an endless army, with a discordant note suddenly appearing. Xiahou Duan’s gaze shrank sharply with joy and said: "My lord, someone is breaking the formation!" Li Shude, who was sighing, was momentarily stunned, then looked up to see the place Xiahou Duan was pointing to, a plume of black was approaching, Li Shude’s gaze sharpened instantly. Eight hundred Xuanjia, breaking the formation at weak points. The battle formation linked, but an army of a hundred thousand and a hundred thousand people are two different concepts. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by N0veI.Fiɾe.net Li Guanyi’s spear suddenly thrust out, with a Mountain Shattering force, breaking through armor. The eyes of the barbarian general in front widened, filled with fear. That terrifying force directly lifted him up, Li Guanyi swept backhanded. Several colonels around were sent flying, all being flung several feet away. The eight hundred were gathered from the entire city of Xiyi. The weakest was also of the Second Layer Heaven. Second Layer Heaven, equivalent to the squad leader level of the frontline battle group. In the usual border troops, each of them here was a centurion commanding a hundred men level unit, with some like Yuchi Xiong being even powerful and brave of the Fifth Layer Heaven, saying eight hundred people, was equivalent to eight hundred elite officers. At this moment, under Li Zhaowen’s command, they turned into a sharp force, breaking through like a chisel, while Li Guanyi maneuvered the military momentum, not lingering in battle, only taking advantage of this Da Wan general’s unresponsive moment to break through, eyes calm, only targeting officers. Li Shude and others only saw a fierce general charging, as if not needing to regulate breath, nor replenish Qi, ignoring the pressure on internal organs and blood, only focusing on fighting, pushing forward. The opponent did not react for a moment, yet was fiercely injected into. But those who came here must also be the elite warriors of the entire Western Regions. The Da Wan unit began maneuvering military forces. Like a vast giant serpent, starting to coil and wind, retracting with long spears and heavy shields, intending to use this formation to suppress Li Guanyi and others who broke in from the flank. Li Shude’s eyes burst with a raging fire, shouting: "Bring the bows and arrows!" Xiahou Duan handed him the bow. The Old Duke drew the bow, the mystical weapon in his hand fully pulled, suddenly releasing the arrows. Three arrows shot together, accompanied only by three almost inaudible muffled hums, three colonels of the Da Wan unit fell from their horses. This once young and outstanding Old Duke’s face contorted and said: "Retreating?" "Hahaha, what do these barbarians take us for?!" Xiahou Duan said: "Your humble officer is here!" The Old Duke pressed his hand against the city wall, veins bulging out, staring intently at the battlefield over there, shouted: "Bring all the arrows, crossbows up, shoot all towards there, fire!" Xiahou Duan said: "But..." Li Shude shouted loudly: "My daughter is there!" The deep-minded Old Duke, with a hoarse voice, paused, then returned to his usual composure and bravado, and said: "She must have come with reinforcements, bringing them into the city would be a significant blow to the morale of the Western Regions coalition, and a great morale boost for our army. If this move fails, we will surely die, so what use is it to keep these arrows?" "To bury us with them?!" "We old folks, are we less heroic than the younger generation?" Xiahou Duan gritted his teeth and said: "Yes!" The Da Wan unit was directly pierced from the back. The naturally flowing Great Formation, unexpectedly, the Old Duke, who was assumed to be merely senile, hesitated not, unleashing the final reserves of Yemen Pass—shooting all the arrows and crossbows. Yet thoroughly penetrated through the rear section. Xiahou Duan, also a famous general, orthodox of Central Plains, noble family lineage. He knew very well where the core of a battle formation was. The battle generals of Da Wan were evidently not as discerning as Xiahou Duan’s eyes. And originally supposed to provide aid at this moment, the Central Army, Left Army and others, but could not coordinate well, like a giant, seemingly terrifying, yet each limb and body fought separately. The commanding flags of the Great Formation almost danced like a storm. The Qi Mechanism flowing and changing. Li Guanyi wielded his spear, shouting: "Erlang!!!" Over there, Li Zhaowen’s spear drilled out, killing a person, already drawing bow to notch arrow. The arrow fell, and that great flag in the chaotic army was directly shot off by her. Li Guanyi advanced like a fierce tiger, spear in hand like a dragon. Li Shude on the wall shouted loudly: "Sons!" "The reinforcements from our Central Plains have arrived!" "These warriors came with the news of reinforcements. Are you going to let your comrades fight alone here?!"
