A Pair of Eclipse Swords
Chapter : 220 – Second Battle
A few days later, Jeiji's long-awaited troops did not arrive immediately. But this also brought a slight advantage on Chang's side as they could immediately evacuate the people to safety.
The feeling of anxiety when considering how on the beach is still lined by the Jeiji Imperial fleet, grew with the increasing number of days and the reduced population here which made every road as lengthened as uninhabited.
Every second, minute and hour, the army troops were busy preparing for the surprise attack from the opponent.
Sung Han saw this all from the hill where he was resting. Want him to intervene immediately to help, but it is true Sung Hwa said. The wound was quite severe and he was able to feel it. But when compared to the brothers of the other factions when Alang-Alang Village was invaded, maybe he was the least injured.
Sung Han repeatedly sighed. Is he going to be a coward here? But if he intervenes, it's even more cowardly because he'll plunge into a war that's sure to make him die. It was the same as suicide and suicide was the most cowardly act for a swordsman.
No. gabe. He had to entrust this to Sung Hwa. He believes Sung Hwa must have a plan.
Too hard to think, has made his head heavy and dizzy. Sung Han hurriedly went cross-legged and went back to meditating.
Down there, the chatty Han Ji was having a fight with Khuang Pemg and Nie Chi.
"We should welcome them. If we keep waiting like this, we can be surrounded from both directions."
Khuang Peng sighed. "If we go forward, is it certain that we will win?"
Han Ji hesitated for a second. But still stubborn. "Hopefully!"
"What kind of answer is that?" Nie Chi replied, a little irritated. "If we wait for them here, the longer, the more open the opportunity to get help from the king's city."
"What if help doesn't come?"
"Our campus. How else would you like?" Nie Chi answered. Either resigned to the situation or was lazy to serve Han Ji who was careless.
Han Ji looked at Khuang Peng. "You agree, right? Such a situation is excruciating. Wait for each other until the other party runs out of rations. It's a mental battle!"
Back Khuang Peng sighed. He approached and stroked Han Ji's shoulder. Then squeak it. "Calm, relax. Calm down, miss ...."
Han Ji's eyes glared, he brushed off Khuang Peng's hands. "How can I calm down if he—" he stopped instantly.
"If he?"
Nie Chi also looked curious.
Han Ji shook his head. "It's nothing." After that, he went out of the room.
Indeed Han Ji who became much more chatty was not without reason. He's been chatty, but the more the day goes on, he's getting noisy. And this makes the patience of his two friends almost exhausted.
This was due to none other than his concern for Sung Han. He knew the young man was powerful, very powerful even. But he also knew that the injuries suffered by Sung Han might take months to recover completely. And if they waited any longer, Han Ji was worried that Sung Han was reckless just because his external wounds had healed.
Han Ji had subconsciously looked up at the hunch where Sung Han was resting.
"Don't you dare move from there ...," he whispered. It was as if Sung Han could hear.
Just then, the gong on top of the tower was hit hard. But with a rhythm like in a celebration party, not one among the signs of the army.
This was the first very clever general of the army. If indeed the fleet troops are waiting for the arrival of troops from the west, then the sound of gongs that signal danger can be heard by the fleet and they will immediately attack.
Conversely, if with a punch gong like a party celebration, the enemy thinks if the gong is just beaten playfully. So that the fleet troops will not move until the spy who investigates and waits for the troops from the west to return to the ship and report.
And this did work, the troops standing on the walls of the Dragon Mustika said that the fleet made no movement at all.
"Prepare!" general of the army one gave the perinrah. And as planned, each general took his troops to move north and south.
Since the warriors were a force of three, they moved south.
A moment later, this army had already entered between the two waiting Chang troops. So with a trumpet signal, the two armies flanking this great army rained down with arrows.
"Until they strike back with arrows, not a single warrior will descend into battle!" Guo Cu gave the order.
Jeiji's troops became shocked and in disarray. But there has been no counterattack from them. Until some time later, there were black shadows that jumped and spread to the two clamp troops.
Their faces were covered in black cloth.
"That's the ninja army and the ronin. Swordsman, hands down!!"
From the direction of the three forces to the south, the invasion of the people in black clothes immediately encountered a large wall as the warriors advanced against. The front three young people, Han Ji, Khuang Peng and Nie Chi were really troublesome.
But it is different from the forces in the north. There are not enough people who can match the speed of the ninjas. So at least this impromptu attack makes them messy.
Presumably Jeiji's fleet already knew about the raid from the west so they started moving. Thousands of arrows rained down on the fortress of Mustika Naga which was the defending party.
Fujimino Shiro seems to know this dire situation, so he has come out of that luxurious palanquin and gone on a rampage. It's really amazing the samurai's cleverness on this one. And it is inconceivable how tough Sung Han was when he ran into that man when general Fujimino was assisted by two others.
"Yeahattt!!"
The shrill screams from Han Ji echoed rattling anyone who heard. His body soared and swooped down to send a death tootokan in the crown of general Fujimino.
This general without turning his head, had moved his sword upwards. Han Ji was salted to draw the attack. But before his body stepped on the ground, the katana sword had already flashed threatening his neck.
"Trangs!!"
The blood sword that glowed red had managed to hold him back. There followed a loud rustling sound from the Iron Stick as it moved at lightning speed.
"Haiy!"
With his incredible mastery, when the katana sword was still stuck in the Blood Sword blade, it was somehow exploited by general Fujimino. The friction between the two blades as the katana was moved sounded deafening. Then knew that the katana had managed to fend off Nie Chi's wand.
"Yes!!"
Another loud snaps as the general recites his katana. Nie Chi dodged the retreat, so did Han Ji and Khuang Peng.
Just as their feet had gotten a good footing, the general had mounted horses that looked too sturdy.
"He's great, it's worth Sung Han being hurt that badly." Han Ji muttered indistinctly. Only he is capable of hearing it.
As commanded, these three young men sent a loud bang as they simultaneously sent a deadly attack. Han Ji with both hands forming claws aimed at the chest, Khuang Peng grabbed the neck and Nie Chi stabbed the stomach. Three seemingly inevitable series of attacks.
"Trangs! Trang! Brett!!"
The katana sword flashed and Han Ji's hand almost broke if he did not immediately pull it.
The three young men were not yet captured, they attacked again more fiercely. This time, however, general Fujimino remained strong.
After almost fifty moves the three true warriors were a little troubled to face Fujimino even though they were not desperate, there was a sound of trumpets and tambours being hit from a distance. Then the newly arrived troops spread out, one to a ground fight, one to the fortress to welcome the fleet.
Again there was a trumpet coming from the direction of the one army, and everyone exclaimed in excitement.
The army from the king's city has arrived!
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
