A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 194 – Black Smoke
Secretly Jeiji's troops condemned the decision taken by Tok Ciauw. This general has too many dreams, they thought.
With the Moon Eclipse Sword heirs, and the various kinds of magic swordsmen, how could they possibly win the battle? If you win, you will eat a lot of victims. And it seems unlikely.
Secretly the line away from the general looked sharply full of anger. But there was no reason for them to refuse the orders of a general. Sehingva was forced to pull out the katana to prepare the horses. The flag was flown high, a sign of combat readiness.
"We're ready!" exclaimed general Suga was sputtered to cover the taste of his screams. He also drew his sword.
"Heh..do it as usual.." muttered the golden mask slowly. But with deep exertion, so that everyone can hear.
"Bress..bress...bress...."
There were explosions in various directions, then soaring black smoke that was getting thicker.
"Move back slowly, the back has not been covered in smoke!" general Suga's orders are trying to escape the smoke cage.
But as the troops slowly moved back, shadows flashed and explosions were heard. Suppose there was a fast-moving warrior spreading smoke bombs behind Jeiji's line. Right now, their position was completely desperate.
"Damn..circular formation!"
Jeiji's forces began to form a defensive formation. Just like before, the circular rows layered with archer troops were in the deepest circles. As the ronin adjusted, they stood alert around the ring-row.
This was the most effective way of fighting the Midnight Wolf and all this time there was rarely anyone who could break it. This strategy is guerrilla warfare.
Usually this strategy is done at night, by relying on the darkness of the night, they can hide behind the trees. But since it was still daytime, they had to use the smoke bomb to blind the opponent.
This strategy is a bit cowardly, because it requires the army of Midnight Wolves to move quickly behind the shadow and search for the opponent's blind spot to then kill. A very clever and powerful strategy.
Presumably Jeiji's troops did not know this strategy, then they had just formed a circle line, from behind the smoke came a lot of rain of arrows. The Jeiji arrow squad.
"Akkhh...ahhh!!!"
There were loud screams as the innermost rows began to fall one by one. The samurai and the ronin panicked because the reliable troops, in the form of arrow troops, were already extinct first.
"What a good thing! But such a coward!!" Tenko heated up so that the enemy would appear. But of course, as blacks, this appeal is ignored.
"Forward!" a voice that is familiar to them. The Chang swordsman.
Instantly, from the five directions around Jeiji's army, raided the five most feared men from the start. These were Sung Han, Kay Su Tek, the golden mask, Bo Tsunji and Yu Fei.
But what makes them more jaded and trembling is, the existence of two relics of the eclipse sword held by a golden mask and Kay Su Tek. Also two other people carrying weapons that they suspect are certainly powerful heirlooms as well.
Only Sung Han looked soft with his bare hands. For those unfamiliar, quickly moving the sword snatched away Sung Han's body.
"Let's meet the swordsman Chang!" sung Han's exclamation was so jarring. Although he hated to admit his allies were warriors, but in front of the enemy of the state, nothing.
With his bare hands, Sung han broke through to the middle of the line and went on a rampage.
"God!!..eiitt...wahh!!"
Panic cries from Suga's general who was busy twisting to the right and left discouraged Jeiji's troops. Because they saw how the general was completely unable to stem the attacks from the golden mask holding the Solar Eclipse Sword.
"Leader versus leader.hehehe.." rang the gold mask.
On the other hand, Yu Fei the Blood Sword and Bo Tsunji with the Black Iron Scepter pounded the ronin ranks led by Tenko. Kay Su Tek attacked at random. Sometimes to the right wing, sometimes to the left wing, sometimes not seen.
There was a one-time and five-man scream as the opening assailant retreated to hide behind the smog. Followed by dozens of warriors who have been waiting since.
This was the most reliable tactic by the Midnight Wolf. And this was also what made the Midnight Wolf's combat power quite good. Which makes the ranks of the swordsman's army as structured as an army that is already accustomed to open war.
...****************...
Quite far from the existence of the Golden Goa, there was an imperial army that was moving quite fast. They ride horses with flags raised high. There were seven hundred of them. Led directly by the general Tang Lin who stood at the front line.
At the behest of princess Chang Song Zhu, one of the investigators reported, there was a fleet of warships in the northern Chang Sea plain.
Once seen through the binoculars, they were the Jeiji imperial fleet. Seeing the opposing imperial fleet was on the north coast, it was clear where the target was headed. It must be the sacred Golden Goa that even the imperial side of Chang himself did not dare to play presumptuously.
After being reported to the princess, the woman reported it to the emperor. After obtaining permission, he sent general Tang Lin to lead the troops to the Golden Goa. Directly bring many troops at once to anticipate if there is a battle.
General Tang raised his hand upwards. The army stopped. He reached out to one of his subordinates, "Bring twenty men and investigate the situation there" said the man, then he exclaimed again, "Let the flag down! Do not attract the attention of your opponent!"
When the twenty men went towards the Golden Goa that had been seen from here, black smoke billowed around the cave. Seeing this premonition the Tang general said that something was not good, then he shouted while exerting some strength in.
"Retreat!! Back you!!!"
The twenty people came back again with confused faces. Before the leader of the group asked, first the Tang general interjected.
"There has been a battle. Presumably so. We'd better get there in full force."
